Hey everyone! So... some of you already know that I would post this new story today. Honestly? I've been waiting anxiously for today to post this and see how you guys would like my new "experiment", so here it is!

This was just a small idea that came to my mind and since I am a bit disappointed that we didn't get any Mac and Lucy scenes on the show (and I stopped watching after season 6 ended, as most of you might know) I figured it would be a nice little thing to do. I hope you guys will like and for your SMackies out there: you all know I am SMacked through and through I also included them in here! You'll see what I planned for them ;) I hope you'll like this story!

And now I'll do the formalities: Of course I don't own Mac Taylor, Stella Bonasera, Danny and Lindsay Messer and neither do I own Lucy or anything that has to do with the show: I just borrowed them! And I also do not own the lyrics of the songs I'll include in my story. BUT: I do own the storyline and ideas and I own Nina!

And now: Enjoy this first chapter. I hope you like it!

A/N 1: For those of you who wanna know...I planned this as a multi-chap story, so it'll have 4 chapters and it will update EVERY Sunday till Christmas day on the 24th. The last chappy will be a Christmas chapter and it'll be up at Christmas day! Again Dec/24 when we Germans celebrate Christmas (and all of you who do it then, too!). That is, if you want me to continue ;-)

Mac's Christmas Carols

01: Frosty the Snowman

Every once in a while, on a Friday, Mac would leave work earlier and take the Saturday off. This was one of those Fridays, but it was also a special day, because today he had decided that he would take every Saturday off and leave earlier on Friday. Some may wonder why he did that and why on earth he would take a day off, which was something he normally wouldn't do voluntarily. Mac's reasons for his wish, as he talked to Sinclair were funny at first, but then very personal. It was Christmas season in New York and he had plans for this years Christmas. Of course Mac didn't take those Saturdays off because it was Christmas season. He had a very personal reason to do that, a reason he was about to meet in a few minutes.

It was around 6:30 pm when Mac closed his locker and left the room and the lab. On the way to the elevator he walked past Stella's office. Much to his surprise she was there, working on a file. So he decided to stop and at least tell her goodbye. She looked up at him, a smile automatically appearing on her beautiful face.

"You're leaving already?" she asked surprised.

"Yes. I have plans for tonight and tomorrow." He said with a small smile, knowing that she would be thinking he had a new girlfriend.

"So… have fun then."

"Oh… I will and a lot of work, too." Mac said. "Just came to say goodbye for today."

"Oh well… It'll take a lot of time before I can say goodbye. Night shift, you know?"

"Had a lot of them." He said and looking at his watch.

"Gotta go?"

"Actually yes… but I'll call you tomorrow."

"You don't have to, if you're busy…"

"Never to busy to call you." He admitted in truth before he took his leave.

He borrowed one of the Avalanches and made his way through the traffic, noticing that it was getting pretty cold outside.

On his way to his next destination, which wasn't home just now, he thought about his plans for the weekend and a smile appeared on his face. He hadn't been lying when he said that he would have fun, but also a lot of work. But he thought it was worth it. When he reaches his destination, a familiar apartment building, he walked up to the intended door and knocked. He didn't have to wait long and the door was opened and he was led inside.

"Uncle Mac!" 4-year old Lucy came running toward him only to be caught in his strong, but loving embrace.

"Hey squirt, how are you?" Mac asked the small girl with the blond hair and big blue eyes.

"Asom!" Lucy squealed the newest addition to her growing vocabulary.

"It's awesome, honey." Lindsay corrected her with a smile. "She's been waiting for you all day. Asking the same question every five minutes."

"Really?"

"Yah – she couldn't wait for you to come and get her." Danny's voice came out of the kitchen.

"Is that true, Lucy?" Mac asked her, still holding her in his grasp.

"Yaaah! Lucy missed you." She said, wrapping her little arms around his neck and planting a kiss on his cheek and then she giggled.

"Aww." Was Danny and Lindsay's comment on a slightly blushing Mac.

"You ready squirt?" Danny asked Lucy who nodded her head with much enthusiasm.

"YAY!" she exclaimed.

"Alright, you gonna have your hands full, Mac." Danny smirked as he handed Mac the overnight bag for Lucy and they walked back to the front door.

"I've put everything you might need into the bag. Clothes and diapers for the night and all that stuff… and of course her favorite teddy… and if you need something… just call." Lindsay rattled.

"Lindsay, we'll be fine." Mac assured her.

"Be a good girl for uncle Mac, okay sweetie?" Lindsay said as she dressed Lucy in her snowsuit.

"Pomise mommy." Lucy said as she kissed her mother's cheek.

"I don't wanna hear complains, squirt." Danny warned warmly as he also kissed Lucy's cheek.

They said their goodbyes and Lindsay said they'd pick Lucy up the next day and then Mac made his way back to the car, Lucy carefully in his grasp, her bag in his free hand. He secured her in her car seat and then they made their way to Mac's apartment and just a few minutes before they got there it began to snow, making little Lucy sing the first winter song that came to her mind.

"Here comes Suzy snowflake, dressed in a snow-wite gown…."

"Where did you learn that?" Mac asked as he parked the car.

"Nina teached me." Lucy said. Nina was her nanny who sometimes took care of her when her parents weren't home. Mac got out of the car and freed Lucy. He let her to the ground, but knelt down in front of her, looking at her with a serious expression.

"You stay right here, next to me, okay?" he said firmly and she nodded her head, as she always did.

"Can we make a snowman, uncle Mac?" Lucy asked her godfather as they were on their way to Mac's apartment.

"Tomorrow, okay?"

"Promise?"

"Yes. Tomorrow we're going to Central Park and make a snowman, okay? If the snow will stay."

"And I sing."

"You sing?"

"Here comes Suzy Snowflake, dressed in a sno-wite gown… tap, tap, tappin' on your windowpain to tell you she's in town…" Lucy started to sing again as they stepped into the elevator, drawing a curious look from an elder woman who came out of the elevator before.

"Lucy, it's windowpane and snow-white."

"Sorry, uncle Mac."

Soon they reached Mac's apartment and after Mac had freed Lucy of her snowsuit he went to drop her bag in his spare room, which he, with a little help from Stella and Lindsay, had decorated as her room when she was here, but still decent, so that someone could sleep there if he had a guest. While he was getting the room ready for her, Lucy made her way over to the corner in Mac's living room where she had a big box with some toys in it and a painting book and crayons on top. She grabbed the book and the crayons and knelt down before his coffee table, starting to paint a picture. And a few minutes later Mac joint the small girl, till it was time to go to bed. Knowing Lucy had breakfast at home, before he picked her up, he just had to make himself a small dinner, after he had put Lucy into bed.

xXxXxXxXx

The next morning Mac woke up to soft giggles coming from Lucy's room. He rolled onto his side and glanced at his alarm clock. It was 8:30 am, time to get up, so he sat up on his bed. And just as he was about to push himself up a soft knock was heard on his bedroom door and Lucy carefully peered into the room, drawing a smile from Mac.

"Morning Lucy." Mac greeted her and she came walking to him.

"Morning uncle Mac. Looks outside!" Lucy squealed and tugged at her godfather's hand. So he finally got up and followed her into the living room where she pointed to the window.

"I see. So I'll keep my promise and we're going to build a snowman today." He said. "But first we have breakfast, okay?"

"Yay! Lucy hungry!"

So, dressed in his sleeping clothes he made breakfast for him and Lucy and after that he allowed her to watch TV while he was getting dressed and got the necessary housework done. And then he kept his promise and they went to Central Park to build a snowman.

It had been snowing a lot since last night and the snow was perfect to build something of it. Mac chose a small open field in Central Park, not too far away from one of the entrances and let go of Lucy's hand, who instantly ran into the snow, giggling and laughing happily. With her small hand she made a ball of snow and then threw it at Mac, hitting his stomach area with it.

"Hey!" Mac said, chuckling and made a small snowball himself and planned his revenge and when she was kneeling on the ground, her back to him he threw his own snowball at her, hitting the middle of her back, causing Lucy to giggle with joy. And then Mac showed her how to build a snowman, which she quickly knew how to do. It didn't take them long to finish their snowman and just as Mac pulled a carrot out of his pocket and used it as the snowman's nose, he was hit by another snowball, this time on his back and it was thrown with much more force than Lucy could do, not to mention that she was still standing next to him, building some arms for their snowman. Mac turned around to be greeted by a smiling Stella. Lucy quickly followed his gaze and ran toward Stella.

"Auntie Ella!" she squealed.

"Hey sweetie!" Stella smiled and scooped the small girl up into her grasp. "Hey Mac. So, that were your mysterious plans for the weekend."

"Yep." Mac smiled back and walked over to them, after he had given the snowman a nose.

"Stella looks! What we did!" Lucy said and pointed at the snowman.

"You built him?"

"Yah! But uncle Mac helped."

"He looks awesome, sweetie. Did you give him a name?"

"Uh uh." Lucy shook her head.

"Do you know Frosty the snowman, Lucy?" Mac asked and Lucy shook her head again. "It's a winter song."

"Uncle Mac teach me?"

"What? You want me to sing the song for you?"

"Yaaaah!"

Stella looked at Lucy and then at Mac and much to her surprise he really began to sing the song of Frosty the snowman. And it didn't take long till she joined him, putting his mind and heart a bit at ease.

"Frosty!" Lucy exclaims after they finished the song. "He's Frosty."

"Okay." Stella said, putting her down to the ground before she crouched before the snowman and wrote Frosty into his big belly. It was only a matter of seconds when she was hit by a snowball and she turned around, both Mac and Lucy laughing. She finished the name and then grabbed some snow to get revenge and threw her snowball at Mac as she got up. And only a few seconds later Mac, Stella and Lucy were involved in a small snowball fight, which didn't last too long, because it was time for Lucy to go inside again and warm up and also have lunch and then her nap. Willingly, because she was really tired, she let Mac picking her up into his arms and carrying her to his apartment, Stella accompanying them.

"Want to join us for lunch?" Mac asked as they stood before his apartment building.

"Actually… I'd love to." She answered with a smile.

xXxXxXxXx

After they shared lunch, Mac put Lucy to bed so she could take her nap and due to their adventure outside she didn't even struggle to stay awake. The moment Mac pulled back after planting a soft kiss on her forehead she was already asleep. Mac sneaked out of the room and pulled the door close, leaving only a small gap open. Stella had volunteered to do the clean up while he put Lucy to bed and when he came back to the kitchen he grabbed a towel and joined her. She gave him a small smile and suddenly a feeling of warmth and love occupied his mind and heart. Not that they've been dating or anything, but spending time with her here, doing the most common thing together and having Lucy here, he somehow felt like he had his own little family and even though this thought made his heart warm it also scared him a little, as he never thought that way when he was with her.

"Didn't know you were such a great chef." She commented, causing him to give her a shy smile.

"I'm a man with many secrets."

"I see."

"I… uh… thanks for joining us for lunch."

"You're welcome, Mac. Besides it was great, so thanks for asking me." She said and both of them exchanged another smile and then finished their task at hand.

About one and a half hours later little Lucy came walking into the living room, rubbing her eyes and then yawning. Stella and Mac had been talking about the latest news on their cases and about other stuff they felt like talking about. Mac was the first to notice Lucy.

"Hey sweetie. Slept well?" he asked as she came walking toward him, she nodded her head and snuggled close to him as he let her sit on his lap.

"Aww. Someone's still tired, huh?" he asked softly, not noticing the loving smile that had appeared on Stella's face.

"Not tired, uncle Mac!" Lucy protested and looked at him with a small frown.

"Stop frowning, squirt."

"Uncle Mac sings Frosty for me?" she asked, drawing a smile from Stella, who then looked at him in expectation, as did Lucy.

"Okay, but I gotta get something first." He said and put Lucy onto the couch next to him before he got up to get his bass guitar and play along while he would sing Frosty the snowman again. Stella gave him an appreciative nod and smile.

Mac sat down next to Lucy who was eying him curiously. And she was watching him carefully as he began to play the first few notes of the song. Both of them were surprised when Stella joined Mac singing the first verse of the song, but he didn't mind and Lucy didn't, either so they sang the song together, having Lucy joining them for the chorus.

Frosty the snowman was a jolly happy soul,
With a corncob pipe and a button nose
And two eyes made out of coal.
Frosty the snowman is a fairy tale, they say,
He was made of snow but the children
Know how he came to life one day.
There must have been some magic in that
Old silk hat they found.
For when they placed it on his head
He began to dance around.
O, Frosty the snowman
Was alive as he could be,
And the children say he could laugh
And play just the same as you and me.
Frosty the snowman knew
The sun was hot that day,
So he said, "Let's run and
We'll have some fun
Now before I melt away."
Down to the village,
With a broomstick in his hand,
Running here and there all
Around the square saying,
Catch me if you can.
He led them down the streets of town
Right to the traffic cop.
And he only paused a moment when
He heard him holler "Stop!"
For Frosty the snow man
Had to hurry on his way,
But he waved goodbye saying,
"Don't you cry,
I'll be back again some day."

And after they finished the song Lucy and Stella clapped their hands, Lucy wanting to sing more children songs and Mac granted her, playing any song he could think of, till Danny and Lindsay picked her up. Only a few minutes later Stella went home, too, kissing Mac's cheek before she left.
