Back at home Mac, Stella and Mitch sat down to their very first Thanksgiving dinner.
"Mac...grab the VC and digital camera. I want to get photos for our Album and video for Mitch when he grows up."
"Of course love. Let's go Mitch...you can help daddy get the equipment."
Gurgling as his daddy picked him up they grabbed the VC and Digital. Then sitting back down to dinner, Mac sat Mitch on his knee.
"Mitch...look at mommy sweetie. Mitch..."
Looking up at his mommy suckling his fingers he gave a wide smile. Taking his hand he smacked it at the table laughing at the sound it made. Picking up a spoonful of the puree food Stella made, Mac put the spoon to his mouth.
"Mmm..nummies Mitch. Watch daddy."
Watching his daddy take a bit off the spoon, he grunted and turned away.
"What's the matter son. Don't like turkey puree? Oooohhh...look son here comes the Airplane. Zooooooooooooooom......"
Flying the spoon towards Mitch's mouth he giggled as his daddy spooned it in. Tasting it, Mitch at first made a scruchy face, then he swallowed it. Picking up another spoonful he put it near his lips watching as Mitch opened this time.
"See son. Isn't that good. Yummy, yummy, turkey and potato?"
*Knock,knock*
"Who can that be Mitch? Is that Uncle Danny and Don? Let's go see son."
Opening the door Mitch recognized his Uncles right away. Flailing his hands and feet, he reached out to Danny.
"Hey their little monkey. Come see Uncle Danny."
Passing off Mitch. Mac took the pie into the kitchen.
"Where's Jess Don? I thought she was coming?"
"She'll be here later Mac. She had to make a stop first."
"I still can't believe it. Jess and our Don. I'm so happy for you."
"Thanks Stel. I only hope we can be as happy as you and Mac one day."
"You will be Don. Now all we have to do is find Danny a nice woman."
"Forget it Stel. I have no intention of falling in love."
"Oh come now Danny. There are several hot looking female Officers. I also think Brenda said she knows a couple nice nurses who are single."
"Forget it Stel. The last two we hooked up with were crazy. No thanks I'll pass. Right Mitch?"
Giggling at his Uncle he could care less. He was more interested in Danny's dog tags which felt good on his gums.
While Stella did up the dishes and started coffee. Mac and his Uncle put Mitch to bed.
"What do you think guys. Should we sing to him?"
"You're kiddin right Danno?"
"Nah...I'm serious. We should sing to our nephew. Com'n...he'll love it."
While the boys decided on a song Stella stood at the door with the VC hoping to get it on video for Mitch.
"Okay...we'll do Baby Mine. We will all sing the chorus. Then Danny will do the first verse, Don you the second, and I'll do the third."
Standing side by side with their arms around each other Mitch watched with wide eyes. Then he heard his daddy, Don and Danny sing....
"Baby mine, don't you cry
Baby mine, dry your eyes
Rest your head close to my heart
Never to part, baby of mine.
Take it away Danno....."
"Little one when you play
Don't you mind what you say
Leet those eyes sparkle and shine
Never a tear, baby of mine.
Take it away Don..."
"If they knew sweet little you
They'd end up loving you too
All those same people who scold you
What they'd give just for
The chance to hold you.
Take it away Daddy..."
"From your head to your toes
Your not much, goodness knows
But your so precious to me
Cute as can be, baby of mine.
All together now....
We love you Mitch.,...gooooodniiiiiiiiiiiiiight."
Looking up from the song they found Mitch sound asleep.
"Aww....look at him Mac. What a perfect sweetheart."
Bending down they all kissed him. Then covering him up they turned and seen Stella with the VC.
"What did you do Stella?"
"What?? Nothing Mac. Just got a beautiful memory for Mitch. He's going to love this when he's older. Watching his wonderful Uncles and daddy sing to him."
*Knock, knock.."
"Saved by the door."
Running to the door she let in Jess.
"Hey Jess. You are just in time for coffee and pie."
Walking into the room. Jess wondered what she had walked in on.
"Stel....why do the boys look like they want to kill you?"
"Come on and I'll show you."
"Don't you dare Stella. Stella...."
"Oh stop. You sound wonderful."
Putting the video into the player Jess watched and awwed in love.
"Now that's adorable. Aww...great job guys. He's going to love it."
Blushing the boys bowed their heads.
