A/N: sorry about the last few shorts chapters but working on trying to figure out where going with this

After school was over Bryan was surprised to see that Danny was standing by the football field waiting for him as jogged over, "Is something wrong?"

He hands him a duffel bag, "No, Catherine asked me to drop this by since left it at the house this morning."

"Thanks Danny," he said tossing his backpack on the seat. "Something else on your mind?"

"Seems that someone had a sleepover last night..."

He rolled his eyes at his friend, "Come on, nothing happened and she was just upstairs what were we going to do?"

"No sure but your starting to sound like him everyday you know that? When get to meet her?"

He rubbed the back of his neck, "Steve and Catherine already her dad from work and maybe sometime soon."

Danny could tell something was there, "Well, need someone to talk to about woman other than him you know where to find me."

A girl with dirty blonde hair and blue eyes stopped next to them, "Hi, Bry thought might get a few laps in."

He couldn't hide his grin, "Jess this is my brother partner detective Danny Williams. This is Jessica Larson we have a few classes together."

They shake hands, "He has told me a few stories and met your beautiful daughter a time or two."

"Well, just had to drop that off but see you later."

They watch him drive off, "Grace looks a lot like her dad that's for sure."

He smiled as started to do laps, "She loves him to death and he moved 3,000 miles to be able to see her a few nights a month."

"Well, shows her that he really cares. Every little girl should have the chance to be around her dad even if a few night."

"So you coming over again to study?"

She blushed, "Already asked my dad and he said was fine as long as don't stay the night again."

Catherine stopped at the hospital a few days later in the morning and smiled as saw both father and son curled up in the small bed asleep and she kissed the latter on temple and other one on the lips and watched as he started to wake up slowly smiling at her, "Morning there sailor."

He pulled her down for a passionate kiss, "Um hmm," the small body reminded them he was there. "Sleeping here."

She planted another kiss on his temple as fell back asleep, "Danny has the baby for the morning while work on springing him."

They were both glad he was getting out of there, "Am sure he will be more than happy to get out of here."

She rolled her eyes at him, "And sure he's not the only one. You remember his friend Jess that has always had a crush on?"

He nodded and took the offered coffee, "Yeah, a few classes together, why?"

"His crush has seemed to grow for her because they have been at the house studying everyone for past few days."

He raised an eyebrow, "Hm, and sure someone has been spying on them?"

She smacked the arm not wrapped around the sleeping form, "Unlike someone...he can get things done without losing focus."

He grinned mischievously, "Have no idea what you're talking about lieutenant."

She sighed as rolled her eyes at him, "That's why find it hard to get any paperwork done when were alone at the house anymore."

"Yeah, because someone can't keep her hands to herself."

A knock at the door pulled them away, "Dr Thyme what do you say?"

He checked him over once more handing her some papers, "Once you two get things ready in here he can head home just check in with his regular doctor."

She packed his things that got from kids from school, nurses/doctor and the team as he signed the discharge papers neither surprised that he has slept through the whole thing as loaded everything into back of her SUV and he drove home and set him in his room. He joined her on the couch with two coffee's, "Good to be home?"

She turned her head pulling him in for a kiss, "More than glad."

Danny cleared his throat, "Don't need you two making another one already."

Steve stood and took the baby from his partner, "Thanks for everything Danno was great help."

"No need that's what partner's and friends are there for," he said smirking. "And think she's right about their crush."

"Going to his football game tonight?" she asked the two of them.

"Could use something to get out and do more than sit around," Danny told his partner.

Steve tossed a pillow at his head just missing him, "Sounds good and planned on going anyways if got the chance."

"Yeah, right," the two said at the same time.
