A/N: I just watched the 'Greater Good' and I can't help but love the team's and Dantana's love for Lucy. Therefore, I decided to come up with this story. This story is originally in supposed to be in Danny's point of view only and I am keeping it that way. However, for those of you who want to read Lindsay's point of view, do read A Mother's Journal posted to my account. :D

My most special thank you to nciscsinyluver, whitelighter013 and afrozenheart412 for your awesome reviews! Thank you so much!

Timeline for this chapter: Set right after the Lucy's first day in the lab on 'Grounds for Deception'.


My beautiful Lucy,

Today was the first time your Mama and I brought you to our lab, a.k.a. our second home. As you grow up Lucy, you'll start to notice that your parents spend almost as much time in the lab as we do at home. What you need to know, Lucy, is that no matter how much time me and Mummy spends in the lab, we'll always have time for you. Because you've been our number one priority since the day we found out about you (your mother before me) and you always will be.

I got to say, baby girl, you are a riot. The lab assistants fell in love with you and I even had to buzz off a few men (cough – Blake – cough) because there will only be one man in your life, Lucy, and that man is me. No other guy will love you as much as I do, Lucy. Never forget that.

Aww man, Luce! Look what you've done to me! You've turned me into a sentimental old man! Your Mama was already half way through and now you completed her job. I'm going to have to watch out when you start to talk and your Mama and you can start devising plans to get back at me for whatever I may have done. Oh, your Uncle Don is going to love that.

Okay, Luce. So I know I may have told you that I love you the most but I can tell you two other men in your life who can come a close second. Those two people will be your Papa Mac and your Uncle Don.

Like I said in my previous entry, baby girl, your Papa Mac has never looked at anyone with such love and adoration. Your Papa Mac had the love of his life taken away from him so cruelly that sometimes you might ask yourself why such a thing would happen to such a nice person. The reality, Lucy, is that sometimes, life puts us through certain tests. I can proudly say that your godfather overcame it with such strength that I've always wanted to be like him since the day I met him. Well, minus his monotone voice and lack of emotions sometimes, of course.

Your Uncle Don has been one of my closest friends for a very long time. He, baby girl, will be the one who will let you get away with anything and sometimes, he might even plan the tricks you are going to play on a lot of people in the future. Because that's just the way your Uncle Don is, baby. He's tough on the outside and when he's doing his job but when he's with you, he gushes and coos and your Mama warmed me that she found out that he has big plans for you. I shudder to think what those big plans are, baby girl, considering he has been waiting to get back at me for constantly teasing him about his relationship with your Aunt Jess.

What can I say, baby? You're my daughter. That and the fact that you're going to have your Mama's brains, Papa Mac's wits and Auntie Stella's cunningness, I have a feeling you're going to be the cause of every grey hair your Mama and I are going to have. But I wouldn't have it any other way, Lucy.

I want to tell you more about the other members of our lab family, baby girl, but you and your Mama reach home in five minutes and I can't risk your Mama reading this since this is out special thing. Plus, I haven't got your pee stain from this morning off the carpet. You are a piece of work, Lucy Messer.

And I wouldn't have it any other way because I love you for that. Forever and always.

Always yours,
Your father

P.S. Aww Luce! Out of all places in the house, why did you have to pee on the carpet? When you're old enough to clean your room and your Mama starts nagging you to do it, we'll see who's laughing then, shall we, Missy Lucy?
