As Danny arrived at Mac's with his family. Frank was just coming out of his car.
"Hey Frank, how's it going?"
"Good. Is this your family?"
"Yeah, this is just my oldest son Danny jr., his wife Tina and my grandchildren, David, Christopher and Peter. My three other children couldn't make it."
"Wow. You NY'ers sure like to have big family's don't you?"
"Haa...yeah, I guess we do."
Grabbing the teddy bear, Danny and the kids went in with Frank.
"Hey you guys, you made it?"
"We did, how are you Uncle Mac?"
"Good DJ. If your kids would like, they can head out to the backyard with the other kids."
"Cool. Come on guys let's go."
"Listen Danny, did you bring the bear?"
"Yup..right here Mac."
"Thank Christ. Sharon's been going insane."
As Mac grabbed the bear. Kong tried to snatch it.
"No Kong!!! I said NO!!"
As the dog kept pulling, Mac couldn't figure why he wouldn't release.
"I said let go Kong!!!"
Finally getting it out of his jaw, Mac carried it out to Sharon with Kong following.
"Christ Mac. He really likes that bear."
"I know. It's like an obsession. Sharon, look what Uncle Danny brought."
"Mr.Sparks. Yay, thank you Uncle Danny."
"You're welcome kiddo. Has Natalia gotten here yet?"
"Not yet. Stella talked to her earlier. She said she'd be a little late. Do the kids know?"
"Yeah. They seemed to take it okay. DJ was happy, he said it was about time I moved on."
"Well...they are right. It is time to let go Danny."
"I know Mac. It's just hard."
"Auuuuuuuuuuuuuuuugh....no Kong, give me my bear. Papa, Kong has my bear."
Mac couldn't figure why the dog was whinning at it.
"Why is he whinning Mac?"
"I don't know Danny. I've never seen him act like that before, he's scratching at the tummy."
Trying to wrestle the bear of Kong, he just wouldn't release as Mac fell on his ass.
"Shoot....some help here damn it."
As Danny helped Mac struggle with Kong, they finally got the bear. Huffing and puffing Mac said..."how about papa put Mr.Sparks in the house till bed time?"
"Okay papa."
Walking into the house, he placed the bear on the fridge out of Kong's reach.
"Would you stop that whinning, you can't have the bear."
"Woof, woof, grwwwwl."
"Mac this is to weird."
Lifting down the bear, Mac looked it over as Kong began sniffing it again.
"Why does he keep going after the tummy?"
"I don't know Danny." Looking closer Mac noticed the incision that had been stitched.
"That's strange. I don't remember that tear."
Just as Mac was about to open the bear Sharon walked in.
"Noooooo papa. Don't hurt Mr.Sparks. Please papa."
Snatching her bear, she went back outside with it.
"We are going to have to wait till she falls asleep, before we open it."
Heading back outside with the steaks, Mac started them on the grill.
Just as the steaks were half way done, Horatio, Calleigh, and their family showed up.
"About time you guys, what took you so long?"
"Well Mac...Calleigh decided to take her time with her clothes."
"Uhuh...nice try handsom. I believe it was you who wouldn't let me dress."
Laughing Calleigh walked over to talk with Stella.
"PAPA....HE'S GOT IT AGAIN."
"What's going on Mac?"
"I'm not sure, but I'm going to find out right now."
Snatching the bear back, Mac took it into the house, with Danny, and Horatio following behind.
