Readers/Reviewers: I enjoy your reviews and hits, I do! Over the next couple weeks, if I'm a little lax with the updates, know that it's because my sister came to town and I went up north for a while. So review, review, review!

Prompt: Phoenix, AZ
Month: February
Summary: Danny meets Adam's mom for the first time.

Phoenix, AZ

Danny looked around the airport, feeling somewhat lost in the Phoenix Sky Harbor Airport. Adam went over to Danny, grabbed his hand, and pulled the CSI over to the baggage claim. "My mom's gonna be here any second." The flight had been anything but Danny's fear, due to Adam's constant pull of attention that distracted the CSI. Adam got his suitcase from the turnstile, and Danny spotted his luggage and the NYPD duffel bag he'd packed extra things in. Grabbing the luggage, he and Adam made their way over to where Adam had said his mom would be waiting.

"Adam! Adam, sweetheart!" Adam led Danny over to his mom, and she pulled Adam into a hug.

"Hi, Mom." Adam returned the hug, and then his mom looked over at Danny.

"You must be Danny. I'm Adam's mom, Patricia, but you can call me mom if you'd like." She pulled Danny into a hug, and he wondered briefly if Adam was more like her than like his father. "So Adam's told me a lot about you, Danny. Did you two get married yet?" Danny looked over at Adam, and smiled.

"Yeah. August of last year."

"Harry did tell me something about that…oh, he also mentioned that the two of you want to adopt a baby, and I think that's just wonderful!" Patricia watched as Adam and Danny were pushed closer due to the sudden rush of people getting off their flights. "Adam, you're right, he is very attractive." Danny blushed slightly upon hearing her comment, and then she smiled at them. "And you two make a very handsome couple."

Danny looked down at his luggage to make sure no one had made off with the NYPD duffel bag, and he sighed when it was still there. "Why don't we escape from the crowds? Let's go and get your dad, Adam, and then we'll go out to eat." Danny couldn't help but take in the scenery of Phoenix as it flew by. Finally, they arrived at Adam's parents' house, and Danny got his luggage out of the trunk of the car. "Adam, you and Danny go head up to the guest room. I'll go get your dad." Adam led Danny into the house and up the stairs to the bedroom on the left side of the hallway.

"Your mom's…nice." Adam set his bags down by the dresser, and Danny followed suit, but then set his NYPD duffel bag down on the bed. "So…"

"Ready?"

"Yeah…I think." Danny rubbed his eyes, and groaned.

"What's wrong?"

"I forgot my contact stuff."

"Did you bring your glasses?" Danny hurriedly went through his suitcase and pulled out his glasses, nestled safely in their case. Danny quickly removed his contacts, and put his glasses on. Late that night, Danny woke from a restless sleep, got up to go to the bathroom, and as he was walking back to the guest room, he could hear hushed voices coming from what appeared to be a study.

"Look, all I'm saying is that I'm trying, Patty."

"I know you are. Try harder."

"There's only so much Adam can do before I lose it. Patty, I went to New York to apologize. I am trying; it's just hard when my only son doesn't have any children."

"They want to adopt a baby, Harry, can you please just let them love each other? That's all your son wants from you, Harry. Love. Please try to give it to him." Danny silently crept back down the hallway to the guest bedroom, slipped into bed next to Adam, and the scientist instantly curled around him. The door opened not even five minutes later, and dim light spilled into the room. There was a creak as someone pulled a chair over to the bed, and sat down in it.

"Adam, I don't know if you're awake, but…I want you to know that I love you because you're my son." All was quiet for a moment, then the chair creaked again, Adam's father put the chair back by the desk in the room, and then left, shutting the door behind him. Danny opened his eyes, looked around in the room, and then sat up.

He wouldn't know what to tell Adam in the morning.

Reviews are love!
