thanks to Ealasaid Una who suggested me adding a chapter that had Sadie meeting the new addition and came up with this so Izzy could too; did fix Wordy's kids names and that Sadie is six months old


Winnie and the baby had stayed in the hospital for only three days before going home and his mother had flown in the next day. It had been a week since the baby was brought home and Holleran called Spike back to work when half the SRU had come down with the flu. Was the morning of his first day back and he woke up to see she was asleep so he went for a short run and grabbed some donuts from her favorite bakery down the road and stepped into the shower before checking on Dominic who was making some noises in the bassinet next to their bed so he changed him and went downstairs making some coffee and put a kettle of water on making a bottle he sat down at the table feeding him.

Michelina walked downstairs to see her son making some coffee with his son curled up in his arms, "Mikey, thought heard someone moving around in here."

He put a tea bag in a mug and poured some water and handed it to her, "A bunch of the SRU came down with the flu so heading into work."

She sat down at the table, "Am sure your not so happy to be leaving him alone yet?" he nodded. "I will be here with her so no worries and not like can't call and check on him."

He kissed her cheek, "I know mom just jitters but already fed and changed him so going to put him back upstairs."

Winnie really only stirred a little when he walked back into the room and set Dominic back down and he got dressed but was happy she looked tp be getting some sleep but he was sure he was going to need loads and loads of coffee if he had any chance of getting through the day, "See you later Win."

Ed was changing in the locker room with Wordy and the new guy who was there for when Spike wasn't on the team. Wordy walked into the locker room with Sam behind him chatting about the game that they had been planning to go to the Goose to watch that night. Spike walked into the locker room whistling as Jules and Leah followed him in, "Someone anxious about first day back?" Sam asked his friend. "I know the feeling but will take a few days to get over though."

Spike clapped him on shoulder and passed around a phone with picture of baby from that morning his mother had taken, "Wow, Spike he looks really cute," Leah told him.

"So when are we going to see him?" Sam asked him.

"Maybe can get together soon," Spike told him. "Will ask Winnie about it tonight."

Sarge walked in, "good to have you back here missed around here. All have to do is serve a warrant this morning and maybe some patrolling unless get a hot call."

Sam shook his head, "At least someone has an easy first day back unlike rest of us for sure."

Jules punched him in the arm, "Shut up Sam."

Winnie woke up a while later to a cell phone ringing which caused the baby to start crying so she sat up picking Dominic up putting him in her lap once he had stopped and grabbed the annoying noise but turned out to be Spike's phone but yawned as she let him nurse. She figured he needed his phone and she had a few things needed to drop of so after he was finished she got him dressed for the day and headed downstairs to see Michelina making some food, "Something smells good."

Michelina turned around and handed her some coffee way she liked it, "When I just had Mikey use to love eating this. How are you feeling?"

"A little sore still but doing okay. He left his phone here this morning and thought would go and drop it off along with some papers concerning my leave," after she finished eating she had set him inside his car seat covering it over with a blanket and set it inside her SUV but she stopped off at the coffee shop get some coffee for everyone. Team one had almost all gone inside by the time she got there but Ed grinned as saw her pull up so walked over holding her door open when turned off the car, "Just wondering when would come see us."

She took his hand to help her out and motioned for him to grab the coffee trays as she grabbed Dominic, "Well, need to drop some papers off for my leave with Holleran and then Spike had seemed to grab my phone by mistake and actually left his back at home so bringing it to him."

He shook his head as held the door open, "Am sure that wasn't on purpose."

Sarge was standing at the desk when heard them, "Thought was a reason Eddie didn't come in with all of us."

She set him on the desk and sarge gave her a hug and then Sid did, "Good to see you Winnie."

Jules and Leah walked out of the locker room ready to head to the gym, "Wow, good to see you here so soon," Jules told her as both woman hugged her.

Ed lifted him out of the car seat as started to cry, "Go chat with Holleran while we got him."

She walked off as rest of the team walked out of the locker room, "Boss, what we going to do now?" Spike asked before noticing who was there. "Where's Winnie?"

Leah pointed to the closed office door, "Talking to Holleran about something."

Winnie came out a few minutes later and handed him his phone, "You took my phone and left yours."

They headed to the conference room but Spike hid a grin as switched phones, "Sorry was in a rush and must have grabbed yours."

She rolled her eyes knowing what his plan would have been, "Yeah, whatever you tell yourself."

Jules took him from their team leader, "Was talking to Spike about when you would be up to having everyone over."

Winnie sat down in one of the chairs yawning, "Michelina is going out for the night and would be a good time to have everyone over if have the time."

Winnie sighed as she finished cooking some pasta as she was getting ready for the team who were all coming over for dinner with their families so could meet the new baby. Spike smiled as he walked into the house and smelled something really good and wrapped an arm around her waist, "Want some help?"

She turned around in his arms kissing him, "Thought would make some of that lasagna your mom showed me how to make when we took that trip to Italy."

He laughed and looked around, "My mom already leave? Where's he?"

"She left a while ago and he's asleep in the nursery for a nap."

He could see she was exhausted, "I will finish cooking why don't you go take a nap with him?"

"Don't you think that didn't know you had left your phone here this morning so could bring it to you and rest of the team seeing Dominic."

"I have no idea what you're talking about took yours my mistake," he tells her as she was glaring at her and kissed her once again. "Go take a nap before they get here." She headed to upstairs to see he was still asleep in the bassinet so she slipped under the covers and didn't take long before falling asleep. He looked at the paper she had on the counter that had a few things that had started making and started to get things together that could be made easily and quick.

A while later he had been cooking for a while as there was a knock on the door and was Sam, Jules and Sadie. He let them inside, "You're a little early."

Jules set the car seat down with Sadie asleep so she set up a play yard and set her inside, "Thought would be a good idea so can help."

He could hear Dominic making noises over the baby monitor so he ran upstairs before could wake Winnie up and came back, "Thanks have a few things she had started that can help with."

Sam opened the door to Ed, Sophie, Clark, Dean, Izzy, Greg and Marina who walked inside, "Come on in he just brought him downstairs but Sadie is asleep."

There was another knock and this time was Wordy, Shelley, Claire, Lily, Addy, Leah and Raf who walked in, "Something smells good in here."

He grinned as everyone sat around somewhere that could find, "Should be done in a little while."

Jules had set Sadie down on the ground and she decided would show everyone her new found moves so started to crawl over to where Dominic was in her dad's arms but she was mad he was getting all of the attention and started to cry so sarge lifted her into his lap, "When did she learn to crawl?"

Jules ran a hand through her blonde curls, "She just started a few days ago when Sam and me had the day off."

Dominic woke up to her crying and started to cry as Leah lifted him out, "Sh, buddy it's okay."

Spike sighed as he wasn't letting up so took him from her, "I think that someone is jealous," Addy told them.

Wordy rolled his eyes, "Lily was the same way when we brought home Addy for the first few months."

"Am sure once they get a little older," Ed said. "They will become best of friends."

Izzy dropped into her father's lap smiling, "Daddy can I hold him, please?"

"Okay but you have to be really careful with him," he told her and Sam placed him in her arms but Ed was there to support her arms. "Just like you did with Sadie."

Sophie and Spike were in the kitchen, "Go see if she wants to eat," Sophie told him. "I will finish up in here."

He walked upstairs and found her asleep under the covers in middle of the bed so he sat on edge of the bed running a hand down her arm but she didn't stir and he kissed her lips smirking as she responded by trying to deepen the kiss without moving but opened her eyes open a little, "Hm, go away."

He laughed softly, "Everyone is downstairs waiting for dinner that's about done and kids are happy to see you."

She yawned before sitting up slowly and saw the grin on his face, "We have guests downstairs and we just had a baby so not ready for that."

He rolled his eyes, "Come on everyone wants to see you."

Ed was holding him when they came down, "Look whose finally awake," Raf said. "Good to see you."

She received hugs from almost everyone and Tyson ran over to the couple barking once, "How's he handling the new baby?" Jules asked.

Winnie sat down on the couch, "Actually really good no aggression or barking at him but when he wakes up crying he comes over barking until we go to him."

Addy ran over hugging her, "But Sadie is jealous he's getting all of the attention."

Sadie crawled over to the couch and Spike lifted her into his lap, "Hey there princess you having fun?" She made a sound making a face that told him she was mad at him that made her look just like Jules when she was mad and he kissed top of her head and tickled her. "I am starving lets eat."
