Thanks for the reviews guys!



Mark carried the last box into Trini's room and set it down. He had volunteered to bring their stuff in after all Misha had the huge task of bathing Danni and brushing that rats nest , she called hair.

Trini ran over and started pulling stuffed animals out of the box. "Thank you Mister Mark."

Mark nodded. "You're welcome."

Just then the baby started to cry and Mark sighed, he should have known. "I guess I better get her."

Trini giggled and followed him across the hall. "Yeah I think sooo.."

Mark almost smiled down at the cheerful little girl, she looked to be over her upset earlier and had been happily setting her belongings up in her new room. Mark picked up the crying little girl and she squalled louder.

Mark carried her to the changing table and Trina stood there talking to Lexi. "Ya know Mister Mark..if you would talk to her, she would get ta know you faster and would stop cryin' all the time." Trini said looking up at Mark.

Mark looked over at the smiling girl. "Umm like how..I mean what should I say..I mean she's a baby."

Trini giggled. "Yeah but even babies like being talked to, maybe just not talk so loud and kinda tell her what a pretty girl, she is and that she is a good baby and how cute she is and stuff like that."

Mark looked at her sceptically. "I don't think so." he said gruffly.

Trini just grinned bigger. "Well okay..but she is prolly just gonna keep cryin' ya know."

Mark sighed and looked around the room, like someone was gonna jump out and catch him. Trini smiled up at him. "I won't tell no one..I promise."

Mark almost growled and then he finished changing the baby, he picked her up even though she started crying harder. "There now..don't cry..you're a good girl Lexi..don't cry." He said bouncing the baby a little in his arms.

Trini grinned. "Thats good..keep talkin' to her."

Mark felt really stupid, but she had slowed down her bawling and was looking at him. "Whose a pretty little girl huh..Lexi is arentya?"

The baby shocked him by giving him a one toothed grin and reaching out and tugging on his goatee, Mark couldn't help himself, he smiled back. She was a cute little thing when she wasn't screaming. "Good girl Lexi." He said in his deep voice and the baby smiled bigger.

Trini smiled at the two of them. "See it works."

Mark smiled down at the little girl. "You and your mama both are pretty smart girls."

Trina just giggled and they both jumped when a loud scream came from down the hall. "Mommy is prolly brushing Danni's hair or tryin' to."

Mark was surprised to find himself worried about Danni, while she got on his last nerve , hell severed his last nerve, he didn't want her hurt.

Trini saw the look on his face. "Mommy wouldn't hurt her, she is real careful with tangly hair..but you could go check on her ya know..I'll set down here on the floor and play with tha baby till ya get back."

Mark nodded and set the baby in the middle of the floor , Trina grabbed some of the soft blocks off the dresser and flopped down on her tummy next to the baby holding one of the blocks out to her.

"Yeah I'll just take a peek, make sure it ain't your mama screaming."

Trini giggled. "Yeah ..we'll be fine." She already had the baby smiling and babbling and Mark took off out the door and down the hallway.

Mark saw Danni's door was open and Misha was on the bed, Danni in front of her wiggling and squirming as Misha tried to gently get the tangles out of her hair. Danni was not making it easy. "It hurts!"

"Danni I put a ton of conditioner in, its going to pull just a little, but I'm being very careful, if you sit still, it wont be so bad,okay honey?" Misha said gently combing through the little girls long curls.

"Dammit!" Danni shouted kicking her feet.

Misha sighed. "Okay you already pushed your bedtime back to six Danni, no more cursing okay."

Mark cleared his throat and both girls turned to look at him. "I heard the yelling I was just checking on you guys."

Danni looked at her father. "She's tryin' ta kill me!"

Mark just shook his head and walked in the room. "Somehow I doubt that Danni, your hair is a mess, let her get the dangles out." He looked at his daughter, she was a cute little thing with her green eyes and long read curls and freckles, is she would just smile once in a while.

Danni pouted and crossed her arms. "Danni what do you want for dinner." Misha asked as she tired to pull the tangles free as gently as she could.

"What I get to pick..anything I want?" Danni asked looking surprised.

Mark shook his head and sat down on the side of the bed. "No not anything..we'll end up having cake and ice cream for dinner."

Danni glared at her father. "Fine..I'll pick regular food..she said I could pick..so I is pickin'"

Mark gave his daughter a sharp look." She has a name, use it..its rude to call Misha ,she or her."

Danni just glared, but finally nodded. "Fine..Miss Misha said I could pick an I is pickin'"

Misha just grinned and quickly started to put the girl's tangle free hair in braids.

Danni tapped her fingers on her leg. "Let see I think I want...ummm spaghetti!"

Misha nodded. "Sounds good..you get to help cook..C'mon lets get the baby fed a little something and then we can started."

Danni looked like she had been sideswiped, she was getting what she wanted , she had no reason to pout or get mad, she looked confused, she was mad at Misha about sending her to bed early.

Mark stood . "I'll feed the baby..go ahead and get dinner started..after all Danni has to be in bed by six."

Danni frowned and grumbled under her breath.
Misha nodded at Mark. "Okay."

Misha walked out of the room with Danni following her looking none to happy. She walked down to the nursery and found Trini playing with the baby on the floor. "We're going to make dinner , you want to help?"

Trini nodded and Mark came in picking the baby up. "C'mon pretty girl, you ready to eat?"

Danni's mouth fell open and so did Misha's as the baby cooed and laughed at him.

Trini just hopped up grinning. "Lets cook dinnerrrr." She sang out and hopped out of the room. Danni rolled her eyes and followed.

Misha giggled as Mark talked to the baby, he suddenly looked up and saw her giggling. "Hush woman." He said and carried the baby out of the room.

Misha just shook her head, well at least he seemed to picking some stuff up..the baby was easy though, she had to get him to being a daddy to Danni , so he could see that's really all the girl needed.


Making dinner went fairly well. With the girls helping, there were a lot of spills and mess, but Misha didn't mind, she had the girls occupied and Danni had something to do besides frown and complain.

Danni got a little upset when she spilled a few of the ingredients, but when Misha or Trini didn't make a big deal about it , she relaxed.

Mark sat feeding the baby some green beans, while he watched the girls. Misha was good with them even though Danni was still being a little prickly with her. She ignored that fact and encouraged the girl, praising her for what she did.

When they finally had dinner cooking and well on the way, she sent both girls to wash their hands and set the table.

Mark watched as she plucked the baby from the highchair and cleaned her up. She was really beautiful, he could feel his body reacting as he watched her, the soft denim hugging her hips.

Man she was hot. Mark closed his eyes and counted to ten trying to get his libido under control.

"You okay?"

Mark opened his eyes to find her staring at him with those deep blue eyes framed by dark lashes, he felt the front of his jeans get uncomfortably tight. "Ummmm yeaaah..I'm going to go grab a shower before dinner."

Misha smiled and nodded and turned away from him playing with the baby, Mark took the opportunity to slip out of the chair and out of the kitchen.

He had a feeling with little Miss hot nanny around, cold showers were gonna be a way of life for him.
