"Dasha, you're a little too young for that." Kozik shook his head as he looked down at the four year covered in her mother's makeup. "Plus, you didn't even do it right." He chuckled as he picked her up from the bed and started towards the bathroom. "We're going to get you cleaned up and then we'll get you down for your nap, just like your sister. She's sleeping and you should be too." He set her down on the counter and turned on the faucet.

"I wanna look like mommy." Dasha looked at her dad and smiled before turning her back to him to look at her reflection in the mirror. "I got pretty lipstick on just like her! It's red, mommy loves wearing red lipstick."

He laughed and nodded. "You already look like her, you have her hair, her eyes, her nose, lips, smile. You're just a shrunken version of your mom." He turned her around and began to lightly wipe away the makeup with a warm rag. "You look prettier without make up Dasha, I think you should remember that when you're older. You don't need makeup on to look prettier, I mean you could use it to bring out features. If you want bigger eyes, your mom says to use white eyeliner on the bottom line. I have no freaking idea what that shit means but I guess when you're a teenager you'll figure all of that shit out huh?"

The four year old shrugged and blinked at her dad. "I have to grow up to wear it? That's shit."

Kozik bit back a smiled as he dried off the little girl. "You can't say that word, only I can say it because I'm a grown up."

"Alright." She nodded. "Cuddle with me daddy!" She stood up on the counter and hopped into his arms. "Nap and cuddles with my daddy!"

Kozik opened his eyes slowly, feeling a body at his side, from first glance he thought it was Delilah but his second glance let him know it was Dasha. She was cuddled up against him, her eyes closed and her breathing soft and steady. He smiled at her, now knowing why she was in all of his dreams for the last couple of hours. "You should be at home with Gunnar." He whispered to her, believing she was fast asleep.

"Hap is watching him." She replied slowly and lazily, her words sounding muddy from sleep. "You are really warm too. I swear you and Happy are like human space heaters. All that leather and it probably made your natural temperature rise."

He shook his head. "Impossible, you've always just ran a little cooler than normal though. Ever since you were four. You always wanted to cuddle with me when I was around. You remember that? Or do you remember when you used to get into your mom's makeup? I just had a dream about that day. It was weird, I usually don't have memories as dreams."

"You got mad at me for playing in it. You washed my face off and then we took a long ass nap." She laughed and nodded. "You're the reason why I say shit so much on certain days."

"Your mom got so mad because when I left you were saying shit for a week." He shook his head and smiled. "You don't have to be here with me, you should be with your family."

"I know I don't have to but I want to be here. You're my dad." She smiled as she slowly sat up and turned to face him completely. "So, when do we get to break you out of here? It's been almost three weeks."

Kozik shrugged. "Tomorrow I'll be out of here and free to watch sports and have a beer or thirteen."

"You're not gonna drink thirteen beers by yourself dad." Dasha rolled her eyes as she stared down at her buzzing phone. "Look, Happy sent me a picture of Gunnar." She passed the phone to her dad and watched him smile widely. "He's a happy baby."

"Looks more and more like Happy." He shook his head and passed the phone back. "I can't wait to hold him and talk shit to the kid."

"Why do you wanna talk shit to my kid?" She shook her head. "He's too little at least wait until he's Xavier's age and can talk shit back to you! Gunnar is my perfect little tan skinned, dark haired baby. I love him and if I could have another on in the future, I would do it but unfortunately I cannot."

"You don't need another baby, you should devote all your time and energy into Gunnar. Plus, you have a niece and nephew. Ellie is giving you a nephew too. You're going to have enough babies to love on." Kozik smiled at her. "But if you really want another baby… Go get a surrogate or something to carry the child for you."

"I've watched way too many Lifetime movies to even consider a surrogate mom… Those bitches are crazy. Killing off the real moms to be able to be with the husband… I watched one where the surrogate pretended to be pregnant! Like well she was going to let the couple adopt the baby but she wasn't even pregnant." Dasha shook her head adamantly. "I'm sticking to just Gunnar. Can you imagine Hap's face if I tell him I want another baby?"

"He'd have a heart attack right then and there." He laughed and shook his head. "Man, make sure I'm around if you ever tell him that shit."

She nodded and stood up. "I'm actually gonna head out dad… I'm missing my boys." She kissed his cheek and smiled. "I'll be back tomorrow, I'll try to sneak a beer in here for you."

Kozik smirked. "It better not be that shitty light beer either… Swipe one from Hap's stash."

Dasha chuckled. "I will remember that. Love you dad." She smiled as he smiled back at her. "Don't give the nurses too much hell."

Happy grabbed Dasha's hips as they walked out of the shower and towards their bedroom. "Well, we haven't done the whole shower sex thing in a while." He let go of her to admire her figure for a moment, the way the water rolled off her body before he shook his head and tried to focus on her ink. "You're going to need to finish up the color on your back one of these days Dasha."

She shrugged and looked back at him, a small smile tugging on her lips. "Are you trying to get out of going for round two?" She watched him closely as he pulled on boxers and then a pair of gray sweats that hung low on his hips. "Wearing pants is pointless if you're going to wear them that low." She shook her head. "Are you trying to get me on the table so you can do some work on my body?"

He nodded slowly. "You did want Gunnar's name on you…"

She smiled. "Yeah, I'll let you work on me… You need the therapeutic release huh? Something's on your mind. I can see your wheels turning, they haven't stopped since my dad was shot. What's wrong babe?"

Happy shrugged as he watched her slip into shorts and nothing else. "I don't know. Just the impact of it all was intense. I've lost brothers before but it all felt different with almost losing Kozik."

"Because he's more than just a brother, he's family. You know that he not only means a lot to you but a lot to me too." Dasha grabbed his hands and started tugging him out of their bedroom. "Let's get inked, I'll let you add to what I have and even create a new tattoo if you want to and find the perfect spot for it."

He allowed himself to be tugged into his studio, the spare bedroom that had more windows and lighting than the others. The one he claimed for himself the moment he had found the house. It was his own personal creative space. "On the table." He tapped it and smiled at she obliged his simple order and laid on the table. "I'd say take your top off but you're already topless." He smirked at her as he tugged on his signature black latex gloves.

"Well, I'm an eager canvas." She smiled back at him as she laid comfortable on the table. "Front or back?"

"Front for now." He looked her over once more before grabbing her wrist and running his thumb over the psycho tattoo she still displayed proudly. "One day I'm gonna cover that up."

"Fit my baby's name somewhere." She watched him as he started setting up his inks and tattoo machine. "You're not even gonna draw a design out babe?"

"I know every inch of your body, I know what will fit where and how it'll look." He smirked at her. "Plus, you do love surprises."

"True, true." Dasha closed her eyes as she heard the buzz of the tattoo machine start. "I love the sound of that. It's relaxing."

"Let's go with a red ink… I think you need a pop of color." Happy turned her head so she was looking at him as he started working on the tattoo. "If it hurts let me know." He chuckled, knowing that she wasn't going to whine about it and that the pain of getting the tattoo was something that she loved.

"You're all set." Happy admired his handiwork before helping the blonde sit up. "It looks good babe. I did a good job."

Dasha smiled and looked in the mirror at her newest additions. "I love 'em… Look at Gunnar's name, it's perfect baby." She moved back to the man and hugged him. "Love the addition of the color to my Lowman tattoo."

"I'm glad that you love them." He smiled down at her. "You want anything else before I clean up and put everything away?"

She nodded and pointed towards her ring finger. "I want your initials, just like you have mine."

"Alright." Happy sat back down and pulled her onto his lap before sliding the engagement ring off her slender finger and setting it on the metal table next to him. "You sure you want my initials babe?"

"Yeah, I'm sure I want it." She smiled at him as he took her hand and rested it on the table. "We're pretty much married… So, I want your initials. So if I ever forget to wear my ring, I'll have it."

"We're terrible with this whole getting married shit… We should just go down to city hall and get a license. Then you'll be Dasha Lowman." He glanced up at her before continuing on the small but intricate tattoo. "Or do you want the whole ceremony?"

"I don't mind doing it that way." Dasha smiled. "I don't really care too much for the whole huge ceremony. We can always have one in the future when Gunnar is old enough to be the ring bearer. That'd be cute. Him in a little suit!"

"That went in the direction I expected it to… We can have the ceremony." He smirked up at her. "Your new ring is all finished… Keep the actual one off until this one heals."

"It looks good, I love it." She looked at the intricate details and smiled widely. "This is dope as fuck… You did a lot of detail and didn't even take that long."

Happy shrugged. "I'm glad you love it. I always have fun tattooing you, although I shouldn't be adding any more to what you already have."

"You're an enabler." She kissed him and smiled. "We should really get some sleep. I just want to cuddle with you until our son wakes us up in a few hours." She slid off of his lap and grabbed his hands as soon as they were free from cleaning. "I need cuddles."

He lifted her up, wrapping her legs around his waist as he made his way out of the room, turning off the lights and closing the door behind them as they moved a little way down the hall and straight into their bedroom. "Cuddle time." He kissed her before turning around and falling backwards onto the bed, Dasha still wrapped around him. "Goodnight, I love you."

"I love you too babe." Dasha rested her head on his chest and yawned as she felt his arms wrap tightly around her. "Goodnight my love."


this was just short and fluffy because I really wanted a cute Kozik/Dasha moment and a cute Dasha/Happy moment.
