"Hey Logan, whatcha doing for lunch?" Stella asked.
"Probably go by and see Luke then come back to work," Logan answered.
"Where's he at?" Stella asked.
"At the daycare near his grams," Logan stated.
"You do know there's a daycare on the third floor for employees' kids, right?" Stella mentioned.
"Yea, I do," Logan answered.
"And?"
"He goes to his grams in the morning, so he's been going there."
"I got an idea for you," Stella said leaning against the wall.
"What?" Logan asked, looking up from the computer screen.
"Go get him. Bring him here so we can all meet the little guy. Then you can get it set up for him to stay in the daycare here. Whaddya say?"
Logan let out a smile, "Yea, I'll do it."
"Great. If you want, I'll pick up something from the diner while you pick him up."
"Thanks Stell, but I brought something from home," Logan replied.
"You sure?"
"Positive."
"Great. How much till you can get a break?"
"As soon as I can get AFIS to pop out a match," Logan replied.
"Well, I'll go talk to Mac for you, and I'll get him to let you leave early for lunch."
"Stella, you don't have to do that," Logan stated.
"If I want to actually meet him, yes I do," Stella argued.
"Why is everybody so bent on seeing him?" Logan asked.
"Because that's all you talk about. Plus, we've only seen pictures."
"Ok, ok. Hey if you pass Hawkes or Flack on your way to Mac's, send them my way," she said smiling.
"You got a hit, didn't ya?"
"Sure did," Logan yelled as Stella walked down the hall.
Pulling the paper from the printer, Logan laughed under her breath and smiled as she saw Hawkes walking her way.
"Tell me you got something," he stated.
"More than something," she started, causing him to smile, "Prints on weapon match perfectly with a Donovan Lews."
"Who'd you get a match to?" Flack asked, walking in the room.
"Donovan Lews," Hawkes answered.
"Good. I'll see bout getting him in for interrogation," Flack replied, dialing numbers on his phone.
"So, you seem happier than usual," Hawkes stated.
"Well, so happens, I am," she answered smiling.
"And that would be because of…" Flack asked.
Before Logan could answer, Lindsay was in the room beaming.
"Now what are you so happy bout?" Hawkes asked Lindsay.
"Because my little man is gonna be here as soon as this woman right here leaves to get him," Lindsay answered, grabbing Logan's shoulders.
"Are you really bringing him?" Hawkes asked.
"She sure as hell better be," Lindsay stated.
"Alright. It's about time." Hawkes stated.
"We're done for right now. Let's all go get some lunch," Flack suggested.
"Lindsay, you wanna go with me?" Logan asked.
"Leaving now," Lindsay said happily, walking down the hall, with Logan trailing behind her.
"So Luke, how's daycare going?" Lindsay asked the little boy."It's daycare, duh!" Luke said laughing.
"Lucas Chastane," Logan said looking at him in the rearview mirror.
"Sorry," he replied, ducking his head.
"Ready to meet more of Mommy's friends," Lindsay asked.
"Yeap," he answered enthusiastically.
"Just a few more minutes. Did you eat lunch yet?" Logan asked him.
"Nope. We were gonna eat lunch right before you picked me up."
"Oh ok, son."
"Where's the little guy?" Stella asked as she saw Lindsay walk back into the lab."They're coming. She's getting his stuff." Lindsay answered.
"Great, so I have some news on the case, but I wanna eat lunch first," Stella replied.
"C'mon son, you're not shy," Logan said to Lucas.
"Mommy I'm hungry," he complained.
"Alright then. If you would stop hiding behind Mommy's legs we can get to the breakroom faster. And the faster we get there…."
"The faster I get my food?" the little boy asked.
"Yes indeed, baby," Logan answered messing with his hair.
"Where's Miss Lindsay?" he asked.
"She went to go find Miss Stella sweetheart," Logan answered, watching the smile on Lucas' face fall.
"So is this who I think it is?" Hawkes asked walking up to them.
"Yes it is," Logan answered smiling.
"Mommy, I'm hungry," Lucas whined again.
"Want some help with him?" Hawkes asked.
"Well, I could use some help with these bags," Logan replied.
"Alright, hand 'em over," Hawkes stated, reaching a hand out.
Logan handed Hawkes two of the bags and smiled.
"Break Room?" Hawkes asked, knowingly.
"Yeap, this one keeps saying he's hungry so I guess I oughta feed him," Logan joked.
Logan and Lucas followed Hawkes, all while Lucas gripped Logan's hand tightly.
"Mommy, who is he?" Lucas whispered when they were in the break room.
"That's Dr. Hawkes," Logan answered picking her son up and sitting him at one of the tables.
"Hey Hawkes," Lindsay said walking into the break room.
"Lindsay," Logan squealed from the table.
"Little man, how's it going?" Lindsay said smiling, giving the boy a hug.
"I'm hungry," Lucas answered.
"Are you ever gonna feed this kid, Log," Lindsay asked jokingly.
"Yes, in fact, I'm getting his food out right now," Logan answered sending a look to Lindsay.
"You eating in here too, or are you going to lunch with Danny and Flack?" Hawkes asked Lindsay.
"I figured I would eat in here today. Stella's on her way too, she just had to stop by Mac's office," Lindsay answered.
"Ah ok," Logan replied, setting a sandwich and some carrots in front of Lucas.
"Thank you Mommy," the little boy stated.
Lindsay sat next to Lucas and smiled as the little boy closed his eyes for a few seconds before eating.
"I'm amazed," Hawkes stated towards Logan.
"About what?" Logan asked.
"You have a kid who actually eats pretty healthy, and he says grace too," Hawkes replied.
"Yea well I'm good like that," Logan answered laughing.
"Well what are you eating?" Lindsay asked her.
"Same as him. I just want to make sure he eats first," Logan explained.
"Lindsay, who's he?" Lucas asked again.
"Hawkes, c'mere," Lindsay motioned.
Hawkes walked over and sat by Lucas.
"Luke, buddy, this is Dr. Hawkes. He works with me and your mommy."
"Cool," Lucas said smiling.
"Where's Stella? She's the one who wanted to see him," Logan asked, looking out the windows.
"She's coming, I see her," Hawkes answered.
"Great. Did you bring something to eat Linds?" Logan asked.
"Yea, I have something marked in the frig," Lindsay answered, as she saw Logan set out her lunch.
Logan smiled and watched her son. He was just too shy when it came to people who he wasn't used to being around, but it was oh so cute. She winced at the sight of him cowering when someone else walked into the room.
"Honey, it's ok. It's just Stella," Logan said softly, rubbing the his back.
Stella smiled and walked over to Logan.
"Hey there little guy, I'm Stella," Stella said pulling another chair beside him.
Lucas looked to Logan, who was smiling to say everything was ok.
"I'm Luke," he said quietly.
"He's just too cute Logan. You've got to get him set up for daycare here," Stella stated.
"Daycare? What bout Grams?" the little boy asked.
Lindsay looked between Logan and Lucas, noticing the look of confusion on his face.
"You can still see Grams, but you'd be coming to work with Mommy every day and getting to see all of us," Lindsay said smiling.
"Really?" Lucas said, excitement in his voice.
"Yes, really, baby. Hopefully, you can stay here for the rest of the day while Mommy's working," Logan answered.
"Cool," Lucas replied popping a carrot into his mouth.
"What are you feeding him?" Stella asked, looking at him.
"Carrots," Lucas answered before Logan could.
"He eats vegetables?" Stella asked shocked.
"He even says grace," Hawkes interjected.
"You must be an amazing mother," Stella replied.
"She's the best mommy in the world," Lucas said happily.
"Thank you son," Logan said brushing the hair out of his face.
"I thought you guys were gonna eat," Logan said to Hawkes and Stella, who were just watching the interaction between the mother and son.
"You're spose to be eating too Mommy. You haven't even touched your sammich," Lucas pointed out.
"You're son has a point," Lindsay agreed.
"Ok, fine, just gang up on me today, why don't you? As for you mister, Mommy has too," Logan said tickling her son.
"You know Logan, I think I understand you now," Stella stated.
"Bout?" Logan asked putting down her sandwich.
"Hey Luke, wanna go walk around with me while Mommy and Stella have their grownup talk?" Lindsay asked.
"Can I Mommy? Can I?" Lucas asked excitedly.
"Go ahead dear. Be careful and listen to Lindsay," Logan stated cleaning up her son's mess.
"So what are you talking bout Stell?" Logan asked as soon as the two were out of earshot.
"I see it too, Logan," Hawkes said.
"What are the two of you talking bout?" Logan asked.
"You and Flack," Hawkes stated bluntly.
"I have no idea what you're talking about," Logan countered.
"Logan, this whole lab sees it. Including Mac," Stella said, putting her hand on Logan's arm.
"It's nothing against him," Logan started.
"Cept, you're son looks like him, meaning there's something else that hurts," Hawkes said.
"Yea, Lucas looks like he could be his, but that's not it. Michael and Flack could've been brothers with their looks," Logan replied.
"I knew it had to be something like that, especially with the difference in the way you acted towards him compared to that of Danny or Hawkes," Stella said.
"Yea, I figure I'll get over it eventually. Hate to say it, but it's a good thing Lucas never got to see Michael," Logan stated.
"Why's that?" Hawkes asked.
"That's the last thing I would need. Lucas ever seeing Flack and thinking that it's Michael," Logan replied lowly.
