A/N: This story idea I got after I woke up from my dream when Jo and Don were telling Mac that they had started dating and they held hands an I almost squealed lol I love Jo/Flack pairing

Chapter 1:

Jo Danville and Mac Taylor had been dating for about six months and things started to get serious, but neither was actually ready for it, so they decided that they were just going to be friends and co-workers. Plus, Jo always had this feeling that Mac loved a certain Greecian woman and old partner, Stella Bonasera.

It was Jo's day off, so as usual she spent the day with her adoptive daughter Ellie, but Ellie was hanging at a friend's house because it was the last weekend of summer.

Mac on the other hand also had the day off, but what did he usually do when he had a day off. Go to work.

"Hey Mac," Lindsay smiled at her boss. "I noticed that you can't stay away from the office, and well both me and Danny are working and we have no sitter. So I had to bring Lucy, but she is distracting Adam from his work."

"I'll watch her Linds."

"Oh thank you Mac, I owe you one, I'll be right back with her."

Lucy Messer his goddaughter had turned 6 recently, she was starting school next week.

"Hey Uncle Mac," Lucy smiled. "Guess what I get to do next week."

"And what does that happen to be?" Mac asked, even though he already knew.

"I getta go to school, I'm happy 'bout it."

"The first years of school are always the most exciting," Mac smiled.

"My mom said it was your day off, why are you at work?"

"I'm always at work," Mac smiled.

Lucy nodded and plopped down on the couch. "Where's Auntie Jo?"

"She actually takes her days off very seriously."

"Oh, do I now?" Jo asked as she entered Mac's office.

"Auntie Jo," Lucy runs and gives Jo a hug.

"What are you doing at work?" Mac asked.

"Well Ellie is hanging with a friend, it being the last weekend of their summer. So, where else would I be besides work?"

"You don't even have cases Jo, I thought you told me that you wouldn't come to work on your next day off, but here you still are."

"You apparently have a very bad influence on me," Jo winks.

Lucy shook her head at her aunt and uncle and sighed deeply.

"Did you guys forget that I was still here?" she frowned.

Mac laughed she looked so much like Lindsay when she feels ignored.

"No, of course not sweetie," Jo ran a hand through Lucy's hair. "Anyways, go bond with your godfather, and I'm going to get something to eat and drink."

Jo kissed Lucy's cheek and smiled at Mac before heading to the break room. She couldn't help but smile when she noticed Don laying asleep on the couch, snoring lightly.

Jo kneeled down next to the couch and smirked, "Sleeping on the job, are we?"

Don moaned as he heard a voice, "Come on, a detective needs his rest," he opened his eyes slightly and saw a smiling Jo. "Hey, I thought it was your day off," Don mentioned as he sat up and let Jo sit next to him.

"I didn't know you were a stalker Don Flack," Jo teased and Don shook his head.

"You're crazy you know that right?" Don asked, grinning as he rubbed her arm.

"You're the one who comes up to the crime lab on his break to take a nap once a week."

"Hey, I'll let you know that being a detective takes a lot outta someone."

"You should be used to it by now," Jo rubbed his shoulder. "Why don't you get some coffee to wake yourself up?"

"No offense but this coffee is absolute crap."

"I take offense there Don."

"And why is that?"

"Because I bought the coffee maker and coffee grounds that you put into it."

"Why would you buy a coffee maker for the lab?"

"Because my dear Donald, this is like my second home and we needed a change in the coffee."

"Which still tastes like crap, and don't call me Donald," Don playfully frowned.

"I think you'll get over it Donny boy," Jo smirked and kissed his cheek.

Don felt his body grow warm as her soft lips connected to his cheek. She had been doing that a lot to Don lately, and he didn't know if that meant anything. But the more she did it the more he wanted to date her. But the main thing that was holding him back is that she used to date Mac.

"Don, are you still with me?" Jo noticed Don zoning out, and she patted his hand.

"Oh yeah, sorry, I was just... um thinking about something."

"Do you mind telling me what it is?"

"No, no, I'm good."

"Alright," Jo patted his thigh. "Well I believe your break is over."

"Wow, are you sure that you aren't the one stalking me?" Don teased and Jo shook her head.

"Get back to work."

"Yes ma'am," Don mocked saluted and got off of the couch. He was walking out, but that then he did something he didn't think he'd do. Don turned around and looked at Jo. "Hey Jo, how about after my shift we go out somewhere for dinner?"

"Sounds like a good plan Flack, see you later then."

Don nodded with a smile and walked toward the elevators. Jo couldn't stop smiling and then she noticed Lindsay enter the break room.

"What's with the smile Jo?"

"I think Flack just asked me out..."
