Disclaimer: I own none of the CSI Original characters in this plot. I do however own Megan, Mac and Stella's daughter and the story idea.

The day started out normal. Stella and I got up to get ready for work. Stella woke up our youngest daughter, Megan who is only 7 years old. Stella and I have been married for about 9 years now. We fell in love at work as we were partners. Stella understood me well as a person and knew my deepest dark feelings.

Megan whined and said she didn't want to go to school. She complained about being sick. Stella felt her daughter's forehead. Megan wasn't burning up. "Your not running a fever, your going". she helped her daughter get dressed.

"But mom! We're having a math test today!" she whined. Megan hated math. I had to grin when I was that age, I couldn't stand math either.

"No buts", said Stella who was pregnant with our second child. We didn't know if it was a boy or girl because Stella wanted to be surprised when he or she was born.

"Your going to School and that's final. I'll drive you now, go eat some breakfast". Megan made a face to her mom, then bounced into the kitchen to make herself some cereal.

"Your a tough mean mommy", I teased Stella while hugging her and kissing her good morning. "She can't keep missing school, Mac. She's already missed 5 days so far this year".

"I know. We'll make sure she gets to school on time". Stella and I were still partners in the CSI . That morning we had a new case to go check out, and a new murder scene. And we had to be there early.

Megan ate her cereal, while me and Stella ate waffles. I sat down at the table and read the morning newspaper. More crimes had shown up in the city which meant, me and the team would be working double today.

"Mac, Megan's ballet recital is at 3, so can you go get her from school?" asked Stella.

"Yeah sure, that won't be a problem". I said smiling at my daughter and wife. Having a family was wonderful.

Megan hummed a familiar song as she ate, then soon she was ready to go. "Let's go kiddo. Kiss your daddy goodbye". Stella grabbed Megan's bookbag.

Megan looked at me and was soon beside me . I pulled her into a big hug and she kissed my cheek "Love you, Daddy", she said in her sweet tone. Like her mother, she had her hair and curls.

"Love you too, Megan", I said then finished my breakfast. "You behave in School!"

Megan made a face, then followed her mom out the door.
