CSI:NY...Don't forget to say Good-bye

Aww...snuggles you all. I'm sorry.:( Thanks for the reviews. I value each and every one of them.:)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

As everyone left to the Cemetery, Stella took Mitch home. She knew the gun salute to Danny would be to much for his ears. Unlocking their door she walked in..dropped the keys on the table and headed into the Nursery.

Removing Mitch's suit he yawned deep and rubbed his eyes.

"Tired my baby. It's been a long morning for you hasn't it Mitch?"

Watching his mommy as she cooed him she slipped on his sleepers..picked him up and carried him to the crib. Laying him down she turned on his mobile..hoping he would finally calm down.

Caressing his little back she watched as his eyes softly closed.

"Sleep tight my Angel. Love you."

Leaving the room she kept the door open.

Meanwhile...

At the Cemetery the team watched as the Officers folded the flag and passed it to Danny's mom and dad. Bowing their heads they all wrapped their hands tightly within each other as the guns fired.

With the salute done. They lowered him into the ground. Turning to leave Mac gave Danny's parents his home number.

"In case you'd like to see Mitch...or know how he's doing. Here is my number. Give us a call anytime."

"Thank you Mac. I hope you and yours will be able to move on now. Please take care of that little one. Cherish every moment with him...build lots of memories. For you never know when life will disappear."

Watching as they left Mac looked over at don in Jess's arms.

"Take care of him Jess. I'll call you later to see how he's doing."

"Sure Mac...have Stella give me a call when she's up to it."

"I will. Bye."

When Mac finally arrived at home. He found Stella sound asleep on the bed. Walking up to her..he covered her with a blanket.

"Mmmac..."

"Yeah love? It's me...I'm home."

"Can you lay down with me for a while."

Climbing in beside her he wrapped her warmly in his heat.

"Mac....did you ever see anything so beautiful as Danny's Memorial. Everything was so perfectly placed. Then his video...I wish we had of known...I wish we had of...voice cracks...I know love. It made it sad for all of us. But now is the healing time Stella. We need to let Danny go...need to let him rest now."

"I know Mac...and I'm trying. But Mitch makes it difficult. He's so lost."

"He is...but with our love...and each new day. He will slowly forget the pain. Then as he grows...we will have lots of memories to show him. To keep his heart full of his Uncle's love."

Turning in her husbands arms. She snuggled herself into his neck. Then closing her still tear filled eyes, she fell into sleep.

Back at Don's Jess was feeling the nausea hit her full force. Unlocking the door she ran into the bathroom leaving Don concerned.

"Jess...are you okay? Answer me Jess..please."

"I'm fine Don...it's just morning sickness...I'll be fine don't worry."

She'll be fine. How could she be fine. Wasn't Danny fine that morning too. Then he was shot. What if Jess was really sick. What if something was wrong with their child. God so many what if's.

Opening the bathroom door she walked over to the bed and collapsed. Watching her Don walked over and sat down.

"Jess...are you going to leave me like Danny did?"

"What....no. Don...Im not going anywhere. I'm right here. Right beside you."

Jess knew Don was very emotional....she knew his fears on the future were panicing him. Placing her hand in his she whispered...

"I want you to listen to me Donnie. We are going to make every moment of everyday full of our love, laughter, and memories. We are going to build a future..together. And for as long as we have each other..we will hold that close to our hearts always."

Laying his head in her lap. He curled up in a ball. Closing his eyes, he allowed Jess to lull him to sleep with her voice.
 
Thanks Nat...changes banner again..:)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Four months later....

It's begining to look alot like Christmas...everywhere you turn...

"Stel...can we change the song please. It's getting on my nerves."

"Aww..come on Mac..Mitch loves it...look at him rocking back and forth."

"Psst...listen son...tell mommy to change the song?"

*deep belly laughs*

"I heard that Mac..." she laughed.

Coming out of the room dragging the artifical tree behind her Mac sighed....

"Sweetheart....why don't we go cut one down. This is Mitch's first Christmas...he should have a real one."

"No...we talked about this Mac...the way he drives around the room in that walker...he'll knock every ornament off the tree. Or he'll hurt himself on the pines."

"But Steeeeeeeeel...."

"I said no Mac. Now please put the star on. Then we'll start decorating. Don..Jess, Adam, Sheldon and Brenda should be here soon. I'd like to be finshed before they arrive."

"Okay love...watch yourself."

Once the star was on tree Stella stood back and smiled.

"What do you think Mitch...you like it?"

"Mmmmaaaa...mmmaaaa."

"Mac...did you hear that? He said mom."

"What?? No way...if anything it would be dada...right son? Say dada.."

"Mmmmaaa."

Picking his son up in his arms he tickled him.

"You little monkey....say dada?"

Clapping his hands together he giggled.

*Knock...knock.*

"Hi guys...how are ya...Mitch my man...come to Uncle Sheldon."

Snatching him from Mac's arms, he sat down with him on the floor.

"Umm..okay...just help yourself to my son."

Sheldon laughed.

"Come on in Brenda...you look very pretty today."

"Thanks Mac. The house is looking great. I can see you guys have been busy all morning."

"We have. Would you like coffee?"

"Sure Stella...let me help."

Leaving the boys in the livng room. Stella and Brenda headed to the kitchen.

"So have you told Sheldon you're pregnant again yet?"

"No...I decided to wait till Christmas eve."

"Aww...Brenda you need to think back to that last time. If anything happens this time I don't think Sheldon would be able to cope with it."

"I know Stella. It's just it would be a wonderful surprise."

"I know...but think of Sheldon. He went through hell last time. As did you."

"Yeah...I see your point. I'll tell him tonight."

"Good. I'm very happy for you both."

"Have you and Mac had any luck yet?"

"No...but we haven't been trying. We are enjoy every moment with Mitch. Maybe in a couple years."

"That will be nice age to give Mitch a brother or sister. Oh...did I tell you. I took Jess on as my patient. She's doing wonderfully as I'm sure you know."

"I do...she came for lunch yesterday. I couldn't keep the pantry full enough. But she looks great for five months. I can't wait for their birth."

"Either can Don. I've never seen such a cautious father."

"I believe it. Especially if he's anything like Mac was."

*Knock...knock...*

"Speaking of the Flack's...here they are."

Answering the door Mac seen it was Adam.

"Hey Adam...come in. How you doing?"

"Hmm..err..great. Thanks Mac. Hi Sheldon...hey little Mitch...look what I brought you."

Passing Mitch the bright red plane his eyes went wide with excitement.

"Whoa....he likes that. Is that bright Mitch...you see that color son?"

"Mac....who's at...."

"Oh...hey Adam...you made it. Oh my...what's that Mitch...did your Uncle spoil you again?"

"Mmma...mmmaaa."

"Mom...congrat's Stella. I can see who Mitch spends most of his time with."

"Oh Sheldon quit teasing Mac. He's already upset cause Mitch said mom before dad."

*Knock..knock..*

"Finally...the Flack's arrive."

Laughing Stella headed towards the door.

"Hey guys...welcome..come in."

Embracing Jess in her arms she whispered....

"I know I asked you yesterday...but I'm going to ask you again....Is Don okay with going to the Cemetery later to see Danny?"

"I think so Stella. We talked about it last night. he seemed alright with it. Though he still has a hard time dealing."

"I know Jess...but it's only been four months. Give it time."

"I'm trying...all he talks about is how this is his first Christmas without Danny. I know he's happy about the baby. Well...at least he tries to be happy."

"I know Jess. Mac and I will just have to work harder to keep him busy this Christmas with Mitch. This way he won't have time to think about it as much."

"Hey...what are you girls up too. Get in here you two."

"We're coming Mac...oh did I tell you...Mitch said his first word...mama."

"Aww...that's wonderful Stella."

Walking into the room they found the boys sitting on the floor playing peek-a-boo with Mitch.

"Watch Mitch...watch Uncle Don...Peek-a-booo..."

*giggles*

"Look over here Mitch....."

"No...look here."

With all his Uncles calling him at the same time, he became confused and cranky. Rubbing his eyes he yawned.

"I'm going to put him down for a quick nap Mac. Then we will head over and see Danny."

Well that made the room go quiet.

"Ummm...hmmm...so Mac...what would Mitch like for Christmas?"

Poor Adam..he was trying to cheer them up..even just a little.

"Come on guys....err...didn't you all make a promise to Danny. That there would be no more saddness?"

"Yeah....I guess we did."

Getting up Mac turned the music back on. Then grabbing his Bass, he began playing to the music.

Later that afternoon when Mitch woke. Stella dressed him in his blue snowsuit, and black boots. Then taking Danny's tags from the box he placed them over Mitch's head.

"There we go sweetheart. All ready to go see your Uncle Danny."

Snuggling him in close he felt Mac's hands wrap around her waist.

"Hi love.....are you ready?"

"Mmmhmm..."

Mac heard her voice crack.

"Come on love....you promised. We all promised."

"I know Mac. Did you get the flowers from the fridge?"

"Sheldon's got them. Here give me Mitch...you get your coat."

Kissing her sweetly on the lips...she left the room.

"Alright my boy...let's go see your Uncle."

Smiling at his daddy....they walked out the door.

When they arrived at Danny's place of rest. Stella placed the flowers inside the vase.

"There you go Danny...fresh flowers for you. "

As they watched the flowers blow in the cold December breeze. They seen one bloom.

"Did you guys see that? Tell me you see that?"

"We did Stel. That one single flower that was closed..has opened..." said Brenda.

"Danny....he's here..."

Don was having a hard time believing it till he felt the warmest caress across his frozen cheek. Closing his eyes...he began to cry. But instead of his teardrops falling to the ground...they disappeared. Leaving everyone staring in awe.

Mac had always believed in Angels...he knew in his heart that Danny was indeed with them. Then Mitch stretched his arms wide...reaching out to the air as he giggled. As quick as they all felt it...it disappeared leaving behind nothing but the cold December breeze again.

While the others headed back to the Taylor's. Brenda, Don and Jess headed over to the Hospital for her Ultrasound. While Jess undressed in the bathroom Brenda asked...

"What are you hoping for Don?"

"A boy. I'd really like a boy."

"Aww...you don't like girls? They can be pretty cool you know. Plus they love their daddy's."

"I know. It's just I'd love to have a boy first. Then we can work on the girl."

Coming out of the change room Jess layed on the table. Squirting out some Gel onto her tummy..she hissed.

"Sorry Jess....I know it's cold."

Placing the little ball on her tummy she began moving in circular motions.

"Oh...there we go...see the head Don. Right there. Then as we travel down...there's the little hands. See how they are tucked under the neck."

Don was stroking Jess's hands while tears danced in his eyes. Never had he seen anything so amazing as this tiny little life they had created from their passion and love.

"Now we roll down lower and there it is...are you sure you want to know?"

Looking at Jess she shook her head yes.

"Alright then...looks like you both have yourselves a little boy. A perfect healthy little boy."

Watching them hold each other as they cried. Seeing the love within in their eyes. Brenda finally realized she couldn't wait to share her news with Sheldon about their child.

"I'll leave you two alone. You can get dressed Jess. I'll print out a set of pictures for you."

"Thanks Brenda."

"You're welcome."

Don looked at Jess and whispered....

"I know the name Jess. I have the perfect name."

Jess already knew what Don was going to pick. She had known all along.

"What is it Don?"

"Danny...Danny Donald Flack."

Jess smiled. She had to agree. The name just fit perfectly.

When they got back to the Taylor's Mac noticed the wide smile on Don's face.

"Wow...it's a boy isn't it?"

"Yeah...yeah it is Mac. It's a perfect little boy. See the pictues."

Showing everyone the pictures they all smiled and awwed.

"Sheldon....can I talk to you for a minute?"

"Sure Bren...let's go in the kitchen."

When they were in the kitchen Brenda teared up.

"Brenda...what is it? Is it their baby? Is something wrong with it?"

"No....the baby is healthy. I just hope ours is as healthy as theirs."

It took all of two seconds to click in.

"Are you telling me we...you and I....a baby?"

"Yeah Sheldon. I'm two months pregnant. You're going to be a daddy come next year."

Wrapping Brenda in his arms he passionately kissed her. Then walking back out he said....

"We are having a baby. Brenda and I are having a baby."

"Well....this is a day of miracles. First we see Danny...then we find out Don and Jess are having a boy....and now Sheldon and Brenda are pregnant. Just goes to prove my point. Miracles do happen in the darkest hours."

"Aww...so poetic Mac. That was beautiful."

Wrapping his wife tightly he kissed her neck.

"Thanks love..."
 
The story is not mine. It's a classic Billy Goats Gruff I'm using part of it. I changed the names to Daddy, Sheldon,Don...for the story Mac is about to tell Mitch
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Once everyone had left for home Mac ran the bath water for Mitch. Placing in the little doughnut...he suctioned it to the bottom of the tub. Testing it with his hand to make sure it was secure before placing his son in it.

"Alright little man...let's go...tubby time."

Lifting his son up in his arms, he blew onto his tummy. *deep belly laugh*. Sitting him in the tub his eyes went wide as he splashed his hands making little sounds.

"Wee...look Mitch....look at the turtle...see the turtle coming to get my Mitch?"

Raising it from the water Mitch laughed...he found it funny that the little green turtle would keep peeking up at him squirting water onto his tummy. Placing the turtle in his sons hands he began chewing on it...as it squeeked in his mouth...Mitch would jump, all wide eyed wondering where the sound was coming from.

Mac couldn't help but laugh. His son's hair was all standing up on his head and his eyes looked like two giant saucers as continued to wonder where that sound was coming from.

"Alright my baby...come to mommy. Let's get you dry."

Holding out the towel. Mac lifted Mitch from the tub while Stella wrapped him in the towel carrying him to the Nursery. Sitting him on the change table Mac grabbed two pair of sleepers from his drawer. Once green and one blue. Walking them over he stood infront of his son and said...

"Okay my boy...blue...or green?"

Holding them up Mitch gave his daddy a giggle as he reached out for the blue.

"Did you see that love...he knows his colors already. Such a smart boy."

"Of course he's going to pick the blue Mac. You held it closer to him then the green. You hate green. So that's why you put the blue closer."

"Know what my son....mommy is to smart for us. Yes she is..."

Picking his son up, he walked him over to the rocker.

"Story time Mitch...

The air was crisp and cool. The sky was an endless blue. The green meadow grass swayed in a gentle breeze. And Daddy, Donnie, Sheldon Goat Gruff were bored.

"I am tired of eating in the same old field every day," he told his brothers. "I want to eat in the meadow on the far side of the stream.

"Ohhh no, Daddy Goat," said little brother. "We cannot walk through the stream for it is too deep and too fast. We would be swept away!"

"And we cannot walk over the bridge," said middle brother, "because there is a big troll under the bridge who will gobble us up if we try to cross it."

"I am not afraid of the troll," said Daddy Goat Gruff, tossing his bold head with the huge round horns. He stamped the ground - once, twice, thrice - with his big hooves. "Let him try to eat me! We shall see who wins the fight!"

"But we won't be there to see," said Donnie Goat Gruff practically, "Because Sheldon Goat Gruff and I will have been eaten."

"Not so!" cried Daddy Goat Gruff, dancing around the meadow excitedly, his large hooves making holes in the mossy turf under his feet. "I have a plan!"

The three billy goats put their heads together and whispered for a long time. Finally they broke the huddle and all three of them trotted across the wide meadow to the narrow bridge that crossed the fast-flowing, deep stream in the ravine dividing their meadow and the one on the other side.

Taking a deep breath for courage, Sheldon Goat Gruff stepped onto the rough wooden bridge. Trip-trap, trip-trap. His little hooves made the bridge spring up and down a little as he moved carefully forward.

A pair of huge round eyes peered out from the darkness under the bridge. "Who's that trip-trapping over my bridge?" rumbled the troll. A big hairy arm reached out from the darkness and huge fingers gripped the rail beside Sheldon Goat Gruff.

"It's just me," said Sheldon Goat Gruff in a very small voice. "I am the teeny-tiniest Sheldon Goat Gruff, all skin and bones, going over to the meadow to make myself fat."

A second huge hand joined the first on the rail. "I am coming to eat you," said the troll, his voice rumbling so deep that it shook the whole bridge.

"Eat me?" asked sheldon Goat Gruff, shaking from head to toe, "I am too little. Not even worth a bite for a big troll like you. You should wait for my middle brother to come. He is much bigger than me."

This made sense to the troll. Why go to all that bother for one small bite of Billy Goat when a bigger Billy Goat was on its way?

"Gerroff my bridge then," the troll roared, slipping back down into the darkness underneath. "And don't come back here until you are big and fat!"

"Yes sir," said Sheldon Goat Gruff, trotting off the far side of the bridge in triumph and heading up into the wide-green meadow above. The plan was working!

When Sheldon Goat Gruff reached the top of the hill, Donnie Goat Gruff stepped onto the rough wooden bridge. Trap-rap, trap-rap. His medium-sized hooves made the boards of the bridge spring and sway under his weight as he moved forward.

A pair of huge round eyes peered out from the darkness under the bridge. "Who's that trap-rapping over my bridge?" grumbled the troll loudly. Hairy arms reached out from the darkness and huge fingers gripped the rail beside Donnie Goat Gruff.

Stella was laughing quietly...she couldn't believe Mac was using him and the boys as goats as she continued to video tape. Watching each minute as Mitch's eyes went wide with excitment as his daddy's voice became gruff.

Once Mac finished the story...he quietly rocked his son back and forth, just enjoying their bonding. Looking down Mac found his son sound asleep. Placing him in the crib, he kissed him, and turned on his nightlight...

"Uncle Danny to watch over you son." as he left the room.

Over at the Flack's Don ordered Jess to rest.

"I'm fine Donnie...would you stop...I'm not at all tired." She giggled.

"I know that...but let me spoil you. I'm going to start with your beautiful feet...then work my way up your calves..your thighs...your hips...your back, shoulders and neck Jess."

Jess smiled passionately. She could feel the heat of Don's hands as he seductively removed her pants revealing her silk panties.

"Umm...Donnie...I need..."

"Shhh...quiet Jess...close your eyes...and just feel."

Feel?? She couldn't even form a coherant thought. Her body was already tied in knots and he hadn't even started yet. Closing her eyes she felt the warmth of his fingers as they massaged the ball of her foot.

God how erotic his touch was as she couldn't help but purr and sigh from his strokes.

"Mmm...this is sinful Donnie. I feel so spoiled and loved."

"Good...now quiet. I need to concentrate on your muscles."

Caressing his hands up her calves she felt her muscles become pliant and her shivers begin.

"What's the matter Jess....cold....or is my touch burning you in endless passion?"

"Pleeeeeease Donnie....mmmm....."

Watching her emotions play across her face was driving him wild. Then as she opened her eyes and intently stared at him he seen the burning passion in them.

"Only you Jess....only you can distract me from my every thought with your beautiful soul."

So much for the massage. Don went wild on her. Carefully lifting her and her added weight...he sat her on his lap. Wrapping his fingers tightly in her hair he pulled her towards him and kissed her in firery passion.

Lost now...as they carried each other into long sensual desires...desires that had long been lost since Danny's death. With each deeper caress..each deeper kiss...Don could feel himself coming back to life. Coming back to the world that had long been forgotten since his best friends death.

Over at Sheldon's Brenda was making supper for her and Sheldon when he closed in behind her and kissed her sweet neck. Then taking his hands, he caressed her tummy in a circular motion where their baby lay nestled.

Hearing her beautiful purrs and sighs as her head fell back, he softly touched their lips allowing the evening New York winter breeze to shiver across their skin from their window.

"Sheldon.....love me...please love me."

"Your wish is my pleasure Bren."

Picking her up in his arms, he carried her to their room. Laying her upon the prestine white sheets where he loved her passionately into the night.
