Lisa pulls into the driveway after being on a two week op to find the outside of the house decorated for Christmas. 'Wow.' She thinks as she walks into the house. "Sonny." She calls out.
Sonny sneaks up behind her and wraps arms around waist. "God I've missed ya."
Lisa drops her briefcase on the floor and turns in his arms, encircling her arms around his neck. "I missed you too." Sonny dips head and kisses her. "The house looks really good."
"Thank ya. I know we had talked bout waitin to decorate until ya got home, but the way Mac's face lights up when she sees Christmas lights, I, I really wanted her to see them. We waited to get the tree, if that any consolation."
"I see that." Lisa says looking around the house and noticing there are no decorations on the inside. "Thank you for waiting. You know I hate missing these moments."
"Yeah, I really wanted ya to be able to see her reaction. It's so much more fun this year." Sonny says. He never thought he would be the guy that would do anything to make an 19 month old smile and laugh, but here he was.
"How is this already her second Christmas?" Lisa drops her arms from Sonny's neck. "Where is our little bit?"
"In her playroom." Sonny responds, letting go of her waist so she can walk that way.
"Hi Mackenzie." Lisa says as she reaches over the baby gate to pick her up.
"Mommy." Mac squeals as Lisa picks her up.
"Hi sweet girl." Lisa says kissing her head. "I missed you so much."
Sonny comes up and warps his arms around Lisa and Mac. "Both my girls, right where they belong."
Lisa leans her head on Sonny's shoulder. "Should we do something about this tree."
"I think that sounds like a fantastic idea." Sonny says.
"Can you take her while I get out of this uniform?" Lisa asks shifting so Sonny can take Mac.
"Yes Ma'am. C'mere little princess." Sonny says taking her from Lisa.
"You know I hate you calling her princess." Lisa calls over her shoulder as she walks towards the stairs.
"I can't help it that she is my princess." Sonny calls back. "Okay Mac let's get your shoes and jacket on. We're gonna go get a Christmas Tree."
"We're here Mac." Lisa turns around to a smiling Mackenzie when they arrive at the Christmas lot.
"I'll tell ya what Lisa, this feels like cheatin. We should be cuttin this tree down, not just pickin it."
"Oh, I'm so sorry to insult your masculinity by not letting you chop a tree out of the ground with your bare hands." Lisa laughs as she gets out of the SUV and opens Mac's door to get her out.
"Listen here Davis. Now that I don't get to swack terrorist on the regular I gotta do somethin."
"You still get to shoot people... Sometimes" Lisa counters as she lifts Mac out of her car seat.
"Yeah, but, I don't know... It just ain't the same." Sonny grumbles. Lisa squints her eyes at him, questioning him. "Don't worry bout it, I'm just missin the team a little more than normal."
"If you say so." Lisa says, telling herself they would talk about it later.
"Treeeess." Mackenzie points as they walk into the tree lot.
"I know, so many trees." Lisa laughs. "Which on should we get sweetie."
"I told ya, look at that face." Sonny chuckles watching Mac take in the tree lot.
"We made a pretty cute kid." Lisa says looking down at Mackenzie. "Okay Sonny, you're weirder about the tree than I am."
"I resent that." Sonny says trying his best to not look amused.
"I'm sorry, I don't hear you disagreeing." Lisa laughs before leaning over and kissing Sonny on the cheek.
After a few minutes of walking through the tree lot Sonny and Davis decide on a tree. "I think this is the one Davis."
"I like it." Lisa looks down at Mac. "Do you like it Mackenzie." Her question receives a giggle and a clap from Mac.
"Well, if she approves then we are good to go." Sonny chuckles.
Sonny steps back after he gets the tree in the stand. "That look even Lisa?"
Lisa sits on the sofa rocking Mackenzie to sleep as Sonny puts the tree in the corner of the family room. "It looks great Sonny."
"Is she asleep?" Sonny asks looking at Mac resting comfortably in Lisa's arms.
"Almost." Davis whispers. "I think I'm going to put her to bed."
"Sounds like a plan. I'll work on the lights." Sonny walks over to the two and kisses Mac on the head. "Good night sweet girl."
Lisa returns to the family to find Sonny putting the finishing touches on the lights. She creeps up behind him and wraps her arms around his waist. "It looks good. I kinda feel like I need to buy you and Santa suit with how hard you work to make Christmas magical for us."
"Well thank ya Lisa."
"You're very welcome." Lisa giggles.
"I do have one question." He says turning in her arms. "Like a real Santa suit or like the tight short shorts version?"
"Sonny." Lisa manages through her laughter. "I hadn't thought about the second options, but I would enjoy that much, much more."
"Ya better." He laughs.
Lisa runs her hands down the front of his torso and thinks how hot he is. "Where are the ornaments?" She asks as she steps away from him.
"Hey,I was enjoyin that." Sonny chuckles. "In the kitchen."
"I know, but I figured I should let you finish the lights." Lisa makes her way to the boxes of ornaments stacked in the kitchen. "Sonny, what's going on?"
"Um, Davis... uh, I'm puttin these little white lights on the Christmas tree, then were gonna put the ornaments on it and decorate the inside of the house."
Lisa shakes her head. "Sonny, I have known you long enough to know when something is bothering you."
"Ain't nothin wrong Lisa." Sonny feels her wrap her arm around his and pull her toward the sofa. "I thought we were decoratin, but ya know I am always down for a little grown up play time."
"Yes Sonny, I am fully aware." Lisa says pushing him down on the sofa and straddling him. "Hate to spoil what you thought was going to happen, but we're talking."
"Now that sounds way less fun than what I had in mind." Sonny says, his hands coming to rest on her hips.
Davis wraps her arms around his neck. "Don't lie to me, I know something is up."
"I, I, there..." Sonny stammers. "I, um just missin the team."
"I know you miss the team, but why am I noticing it today?"
Sonny nods and thinks just how well they know each other. "That last target package, uh, that was a big one. It's just hard to sit on the sidelines while my hot ass girl and my brothers are out there kickin ass and, and I'm at home on diaper duty."
"Oh Sonny." Lisa kisses him on the forehead. "Do you wish we had made a different choice?"
Sonny shakes his head no. "No Lisa, I don't. Hell, I could be dead right now and Mac wouldn't have a Dad and ya would be doin this alone. I love gettin to watch her grow up, I wouldn't trade that for the world. It's just some days I miss operatin more than others."
"I can totally see that. I was climbing the walls that first year. I'm so grateful for you and how great of a Dad you are. Sonny, I really couldn't do this without you."
"Thanks babe." Sonny mumbles.
"We're good right?" Lisa pushes.
"Yeah Lisa, we're good."
"You don't sound so sure of that Quinn."
Sonny runs his hands across her lower back. "I'm good, I promise. Just let me have my I miss my operatin days moment."
"That's really all it is? You're just missing the action?" Lisa asks running her fingers through his hair.
Sonny forces a smile. "Yeah, that's it. Just missin be shot at and takin out the bad guy."
Lisa watches him for a minute and sees that he is still sulking. "Fine." She huffs before pulling her sweater over her head, reveling her lace covered breasts to him.
A smile spreads across Sonny's face. "Now see, that's all it took to make me happy."
"Oh, you're completely happy and not missing bullets flying at you anymore?" Lisa giggles.
"Okay, okay. Ya got me." Sonny chuckles. "I still miss that stuff, but this is defiantly helpin me forget about it."
"Mm-hhm." Lisa mumbles. "Well, I'm glad I serve as a good distraction."
"Mm. So good Davis." Sonny smiles as his gently runs his hands up her sides. All he could think was how perfect they were for each other.
