Lil' Montana

Chapter 2

Lindsay sat in Mac's office in one of the chairs in front of the desk. She watched nervously as Mac paced around in front of her before he sat down on the desk, just missing the paper work that was starting to pile up.

"What's her name?" he asked after a few minutes of pondering.

Lindsay let out a breath she didn't realize she was holding. He didn't seem too mad, but he was Mac, he had the poker face of an angel. (A/N: something my mum always says to me! I don't really get it sometimes! lol)

"Rosie, Rosie Monroe."

"How old is she?"

"Just turned four, two months ago."

"She's very cute."

"Thank you. She's perfect in my eyes."

Mac smiled at that. Lindsay didn't look like the type of person to be a mother at first glance, but when he heard the pride in her voice when she spoke about her daughter, he realized that he was greatly mistaken.

"Um... how come you didn't mention her before? I really should have known when I first hired you"

"She's ...ah... she hasn't been living with me since I moved here. She's been staying with my Dad back in Montana. I didn't want her to grow up here. It seems such a violent place for a little girl." She said honestly then "no offense" quickly afterwards. She really didn't want to upset her boss right now.

"None taken." he said with a ghost of a smile. "Is she visiting you then?"

"Um... no. My Dad... he can't take care of her anymore. He's getting too old and he doesn't have the time and money to run around, looking after her."

Noticing she didn't mention her mother, but just letting it slide, he said:

"So she's going to be living with you then. I thought you didn't want her to grow up here?"

"I have no other choice Mac. My brother's have their own families and I don't have anyone else she can live with. Anyway, I... I miss her," she said looking into Mac's eyes. It was the first time she had lifted her head since she had entered the room and Mac saw all he needed to confirm the fact that she was a good mother. He decided from that moment on that he and the rest of the team were going to help her out in any way. Night or Day. Rain or Shine, they would be there.

"Well then, it looks like I'm going to have to re -arrange your schedule. I'll try and look into finding a good babysitter for you but for now you can bring her into the lab if you need to."

Lindsay just stared at him for a moment before jumping up and giving him a hug. Immediately after she realized what she had done she backed away, looking down sheepishly with a blush tinting her cheeks, but the smile still set firmly in place.

"Sorry! It's just... I thought you were going to fire me! Thank you Mac." She said, her embarrassment fading away.

He chuckled before saying: "No problem. Look it's nearly lunch time and you've finished your case, so why don't we all go out for lunch and then you and Rosie go and spend the day together."

"I'd like that. I think Rosie would too, but she does wanna go to a place where they serve strawberry milkshakes, otherwise she won't go!"

"Oh I think we can find something."

And with that they walked out the door to the break room.

"My Mommy's name is Lindsay, not Montana. That's where we used to live." Rosie stated to Danny.

"Yup, just like her mother. Thinks she knows it all! Well Baby you have a lot to learn!" Danny said laughing while Stella and Flack just rolled their eyes.

"Wow, you must be really stupid, cause you can't even remember my name." Rosie said.

That shut Danny up but made Stella and Flack burst out laughing.

"Hey you're right Messer; she is just like her mother. Always whipping you in the ass with her comebacks!" Flack said while at the same time trying to breathe.

"FLACK! Don't say words like that in front of her! She's only 4!" Lindsay scolded as she walked through the door, Mac at her heels.

"MOMMY!!!!!" For the second time that day, Rosie rushed into her mother's arms. "I know all your friends now! Stella's really pretty and nice and Flack is really funny! But Messer is just stupid. He still doesn't know your name and he's already forgotten mine," she told her mom with a frown on her face.

That just made Stella and Flack burst out laughing again. Even Mac chuckled at the little girl's innocence. Lindsay just smiled at her daughter.

"Well I agree with you there Pumpkin, Danny can be quite stupid. Can't you Messer?!" she said while looking at Danny with a smirk on her face. Danny just muttered something which sounded like 'whatever', before sitting down next to Flack on the couch.

"Pumpkin this is Mac." Lindsay told Rosie once all the laughter had died down.

"Hello," she said quietly, her shyness coming back to her.

"Hello Rosie." He said softly with a smile. This seemed to make part of her nervousness go away. "Are you hungry? Because I heard from a little birdie that you like strawberry milkshakes and I know just the place. Shall we go and get one?"

"Oh yes, please!!" Rosie said, bouncing up and down in her mom's arms. "I LOVE strawberry milkshakes! How did you know?!"

"Ahh, well that's my secret," Mac said, tapping a finger on her nose. "Come on guys, let's go get some lunch. Flack go and find Hawkes, see if he wants to come."

With that Mac walked out the room with Stella and Flack in tow, while Lindsay picked up Rosie's bag before she followed. Danny then went after her, making faces at Rosie which made her laugh.

'Messer doesn't seem to be too bad after all,' Rosie thought. 'Even if he is stupid.'
