CSI: New York – T.G.I.F.

Summary: Mac always looked forward to Friday's; Date night for Danny & Lindsay meant more bonding time for him and his goddaughter. Pure and utter fluff. One-Shot. Enjoy...

A/N: This is just loosely based on my experience with my own goddaughter and the crazy things she comes up with. It's true what they say, "kids say the darndest things". So keep in mind this is just silly fun :) Thanks.

It was late afternoon and oddly quiet in the lab. His previous case having just been wrapped up, Mac now sat in his office, writing his final notes into the case report before filing it away for good. It had been a long week, one that didn't afford him much sleep as he raced against the clock to catch yet another of New York's elusive villains. Thankfully though, the case was now closed and it couldn't have come a better time; for today was Friday. Over the last 3 years Fridays had quickly become Mac's favourite day of the week; a day he looked forward to no matter what the tiring week had brought him so far. A silly smile curled onto his lips as he continued writing his report, and his mind started mulling over the plans in his head that he had made for tonight. Suddenly a soft knock came at his door and he lifted his head slightly to see who it was; offering a look of confusion when he saw no one standing there. He shook his head, assuming it must have been his imagination and went back to filling out his report.

Knock knock knock

He heard it again and raised an eyebrow as he brought his head back up once more, but again his glance was met with nothing but an empty hallway.

"What the..." he questioned out loud as he finally stood up from his desk, now wondering if someone was playing a practical joke on him.

As he got up and made his way around the desk his eyes met the source of the knocking. There she was, barely 2 feet off the ground, big blue eyes gleaming and hands and faced pressed against the glass door to his office with a more than excited expression on her chubby little face.

Mac couldn't help but chuckle at the sight as he walked toward the door to open it for Lucy. As he made his way over Danny and Lindsay came fleeing down the hallway as they finally caught up to their curious toddler who had now easily managed to find her way around the lab.

Danny opened the door to the office and Lucy went running in as fast as her little legs would carry her.

"Papa Mac!" she squealed as she ran towards him and he crouched down; holding his arms open as she ran into them. He scooped her up and gave her a soft squeeze and she giggled hysterically.

"Papa Mac huh?" he questioned as he pulled her back slightly and looked at her with an amused expression.

"Papa Mac!" Lucy exclaimed again and Mac just shook his head in defeat.

Their moment was quickly interrupted when Stella made her way inside the office with hurried steps.

"Is everything okay? I was in my office when I saw you guys running down the hall and... Is Lucy okay?" Stella asked with concern once she noticed her in Mac's arms.

"Everything's fine Stell" Danny assured her. "She's just getting a little faster than she used to be"

"And sneakier" Lindsay added.

"Hey Luce, look who's here!" Mac began as he turned Lucy around to face Stella. Her eyes lit up with excitement once again as she bounced herself slightly in Mac's arms.

"Auntie Stella!"

"Hey baby girl!" Stella gushed as she walked over and kissed Lucy on the forehead.

"Now wait a minute," Mac began again. "How come she gets to be 'Auntie' Stella and I'm 'Papa' Mac? Makes me sound like an old grandpa"

"Awww, Papa Mac? Isn't that cute!" Stella mocked, pinching his cheek.

"Yeah, cute" Mac playfully rolled his eyes. "What happened to 'Uncle' Mac, what've you guys been telling her anyway?" Mac asked again, this time directing his question to Danny and Lindsay.

"Well it all began yesterday when Lucy wanted to go through her baby book again" Lindsay began into the story. "There's a page with a picture of all the team together, and she was going through and pointing to each one of them and saying their name, you know, 'Uncle Don, Auntie Stella, Uncle Sheldon' and so on, then when we got to the next page it's a picture of you and the story of how you came to be her Godfather. Well this seemed to fascinate her, although she couldn't understand what Godfather meant, and how you could be her Uncle as well as her Godfather, so we just told her that Godfather was a very special person in our family, and so that's when she decided that you needed your own 'special' name"

"Ahhh" Mac replied with a slight smirk as he looked over to Stella. "So I'm more special" he winked, and now it was Stella rolling her eyes.

"Papa Mac!" Lucy quickly scolded and Mac chuckled.

"What?"

"Auntie Stella is special too!"

"How come?"

"Cause, I only have ONE Auntie!"

Mac and Stella couldn't help but laugh over how comedic Lucy's answer had sounded.

"Take that Papa Mac" Stella playfully threw back at Mac.

"Okay children, that's enough" Lindsay lightly scolded the two of them and they both smirked in response.

"We really appreciate you doin this Mac" Danny began as he slumped Lucy's bag down on Mac's desk. "But remember, if it ever gets to be a problem, or you need a Friday night off..."

"Yes, I'll let you know Danny" Mac quickly interrupted. "You two enjoy your date night"

"Thanks Mac" Lindsay offered with a warm smile. She made her way over to him and placed a kiss on Lucy's forehead.

"Now you be good for Papa Mac"

"She's always good" Mac assured them.

"Yeah good for you cause you give her ice cream and candy then hand her off to mom and dad when it's bedtime" Danny countered and Lucy looked at Mac with wide eyes.

"Papa Mac! You telled?" she gasped, then leaned in towards his ear and attempted at whispering, although it was easily heard by all; "you said it was a secret"

"No, Papa Mac didn't tell, the leftover chocolate on the corners of your lips did" Lindsay corrected and Lucy covered her face with her hands and laughed.

"Alright, come on babe, we better get going or we'll lose our reservation" Danny remarked as he walked towards the door and held it open for Lindsay.

"Okay, okay. Thanks again Mac"

"You bet" Mac replied with a warm smile as kissed the top of Lucy's head.

Danny and Lindsay finally took their leave and Mac crouched down again to let Lucy down. She ran straight for his desk and pulled open the bottom drawer where he always kept a drawing pad and box of crayons for her for when she had to wait for him in his office.

"Not too much longer Luce, I promise"

"I know" Lucy responded as she made her way over toward the couch. She put the pad and crayons on the coffee table and knelt down on the floor and quickly started into her drawing; humming to herself along the way.

Mac made his way back into his chair and Stella sat on the corner of his desk, facing him, as the two began filling each other in on the final details on their separate cases.

After a few minutes Stella eventually got up from the desk and Mac walked her out of his office. She said a quick goodbye to Lucy first, who was too wrapped up in her drawing to react. Stella shrugged then offered Mac a hug before taking her leave.

"It's really great that you do this for Danny and Lindsay, I know how much it means to them" She offered in truth.

"Well I'd be lying if I said I didn't enjoy it as much as they do. You know it's funny that right now Lucy is so happy about having all these uncles and a godfather, just wait till she turns 16 and brings a boyfriend home..." Mac chuckles and Stella rolls her eyes.

"Oh I don't even want to think about it... We could probably video tape it and sell it on Pay-Per-View, pay for Lucy's college education and then some..." She countered and Mac laughed, nodding his head.

"Well, goodnight Stella"

"Goodnight Papa!" She threw back at him one last time and he shook his head.

Mac wandered back over to his desk where he remained for the next few minutes. He put the final touches on his case report and closed the file and tossed it to the corner of his desk. Pushing himself up from his desk he walked over to the couch and took a seat as Lucy finished her drawing.

"Don't look!" Lucy warned him as she tried to cover the paper with her arms.

"Okay, not looking, I promise" Mac complied, covering his eyes with his hand.

...

"Can I look yet?" Mac asked a brief moment later.

"kay!" Lucy exclaimed as she popped up off the ground and climbed up next to Mac on the couch.

"Alright, what've we got here?" Mac asked as Lucy handed him the paper.

"That's you Papa Mac..." Lucy began as she started pointing to different objects on the paper.

"Uh huh..."

"That's Auntie Stella..." she continued.

"Okay..."

"And that's a heart" she finished, pointing at the red blob in the hands of 'Auntie Stella'

"Why is Auntie Stella holding her heart?" Mac asked, looking over to Lucy.

"Not her heart Papa Mac, it's yours!" She corrected.

"Mine? How come?"

"You gived it to her silly!" she exclaimed, as if he should've already known the answer.

"Oh I did, did I?" Mac chuckled.

"Yep. Cause you love her" She stated simply and Macs eyes widened slightly.

"Uh, oh... okay" Is all Mac managed to respond with.

"Can we go show Auntie Stella now?" Lucy asked with excitement and Mac raised an eyebrow in shock.

"Um..."

THE END

**That's it. Does Mac let Lucy show Stella? I'll let your imagination take you the rest of the way...**
