Our time
Jess and Danny are together since two months ago. They didn't say a Word to anyone. Even to Claire.
Danny goes to pick up Claire at her school. She saw his dad and runs to him.
"Daddy" – she jumps into Danny's arms.
"Hello my pretty… how is your day?" Danny asks her.
"Fine… I like the school a lot."
They climb into the car. Claire looks his dad and asks him: "Dad, do you feel well?"
"Yes I do baby. Why are you asking that?"
But the girl looks serious. "Can we call Jess please? Put her on the speaker please."
Danny looks worried, but does that call.
"Hello Danny"
"No, it's me… Daddy is at my side"
"Princess! What a surprise! Hello Danny"
"Well… I want to ask you a favor"
"What do you need princess"
"Please, can you check up my dad?"
"What happen to your dad?" Jess was worried.
"The new teacher's assistance says that he was hot."
Danny and jess can´t avoid laugh.
"what?" Claire looks piss off.
"Let's do something… I have to stop at the lab… would you check my temperature there"
"Please Jess… say yes" – Claire begs.
"I'll be waiting."
Later at the crime lab.
Jess check Danny's temperature
"See… your father is a young and healthy man" – she shows the digital thermometer to Claire.
"Well… why the teacher says that"
"Could it be because the day was warm" – answered jess.
"Young lady… we should go" – Danny looks seriously.
"Ok daddy… just because you don't have fever. Bye Jess… have a good shift." – Claire gives a kiss in the cheek to the woman.
"Bye sweetie… take care, and take care of your father."
"Bye Jess… thanks for your time." – Danny winks.
"Bye Danny"
Claire and Danny go to the central park. They are walking, and eating ice cream.
"Daddy?"
"Tell me hun?"
"I want a baby brother or a baby sister"
Danny almost choke – "What?"
"Amber have a baby sister… she says that is fun."
"Claire, dear… have a baby is something so serious" – they was sitting in the grass – "the baby is not a toy… also its need a dad and a mommy for having a baby."
"I know that dad"
"So… without a mom… there's no baby."
"Ok" – Claire looks disappointed. After a few minutes in silence she screams: "I got it!"
"What hun?"
"Asks to Jess if she wants to be the mommy… she was a mom before…."
"Claire… this I so serious… for becoming in parents, in the first time, the people have to date. After that they have to married… and after that they can have a baby… like uncle Mac and auntie Stella."
"Or… uncle Donnie and auntie Lindsay."
"Yes"
Claire licks her ice cream: "So dad… why you don't asks to Jess that she wants a date with you?"
"Do you like that?"
"Well… she is beauty and nice person… like a princess."
"Yes she does" – Danny can't avoid smile and think in her.
"So dad?"
"So what?"
"Ask to Jess"
"What?"
"A date daddy!"
"Claire!"
"ok, ok… Dad, can I ask you other thing?"
"All that you want honey"
"How the baby gets in to the mommy's belly?"
Danny swallows: "Well… when the mommy and the daddy get married, they gives a big, big hug, and the baby gets in. after nine months, the baby born."
"Ahhh… thanks daddy… you always knew everything." – she gives him a kiss.
"Mmmm, I love this, come on. Let's go home and makes some dinner."
"Call Jess… may she wants to dinner with us?"
"She didn't… she is on call tonight… but if we wake up early… we can invite her to breakfast at the way to your school."
"Yay"
That night, after Claire falls asleep, Danny calls Jess.
"Hi you… how's your duty?"
"Quiet… thanks… how about you?
"Well… I have an invitation for you."
"Where?"
"You, I and Claire… after your shift will go for breakfast."
"Sounds good."
"Jess… I think that we should tell Claire that you and I are together."
"Are you sure?"
"Yeah… she told me that I have to ask for a date to you"
"Really? Wow this is a surprise"
"I know. So… can we pick you tomorrow?"
"Sounds good… I will wait for you both."
"I miss you… you know that Jess?"
"I miss you too Danny."
At the morning, Claire wake up early, and jumps to her dad's bed.
"Daddy, wake up… we have to pick up Jess"
"All right hun… all right."
At the coffee place
They looks like a family sharing a breakfast outside of home.
"OK, a vanilla latte for Jess, one hot chocolate for Claire, and mocha for me" – Danny puts the cups over the table.
After the breakfast, they walks to the Jess's school. Claire walks between them, holding jess's right hand, and Danny's left hand. When they arrives to the school, she puts Danny's hand over Jess's hand.
"Bye dad, bye Jess." She runs in to her school, but she looks back and smiles when she watch that Danny and Jess are holding their hands.
The teacher asks her: "Who is she?"
"She… is the woman that I want for my daddy." – she runs into her classroom.
