Chapter six

Maria bought the baby home it was early evening and she settled her in bathed her and dresses her in one of her new onesies. Sofia was a good baby, she cried only a couple of minutes but quickly settled down and went to sleep. Maria thought it was so sweet when Danny sent a text checking up on them.

After the next day at work and Maria finding a sitter, Danny started to notice Maria looked exhausted

"Hey..Look I have plenty of space now Jack is away at college, a spare room and guest room with bathroom...you could stay with me for a little while to help lighten the load with the little one".

"Danny...I couldn't ask you to do that"

"You're not I'm offering" Danny said softly.

"That would actually help a lot Danny thank you" Maria thanked him and after work they headed home together

Inside Danny was the happiest he had felt in a long time.

Maria and Danny entered Danny's house with Sofia. Maria was overwhelmed with the kindness that Danny had given her, he already had the guestroom set up and the other spare room for the baby

"Danny, thanks again for letting us stay here again"

"It's no problem...it will be nice to have the company" Danny told her

It was getting pretty late and Danny excused himself as they all got ready for bed.

Baby Sofia still needed a proper crib. They already placed the order and the next day was delivered and Danny placed it in the baby's room and was going to surprise Maria later after work and they could assemble it together.

Frank's office

Baker knocked on the door and entered Frank's office

"Morning Abigail, how can I help you?"

"A video has gone viral of an officer saving twins from being abducted as they walked home from school"

Baker showed the video of a car slowly following the children a boy and girl twin siblings and a man coming out the car to approach them looks like he was just trying to speak with them first and then trying to get them in the car when two male officers luckily across the street noticed something suss and started to head over when all of a sudden the man as quick as he could got back in and sped off.

"They were returned to their parents" Frank asked?

"Yes safe and sound" Baker assured him

They did good Frank smiled.

Maria took the baby to her place just to get a few more things the next afternoon before heading back to help Danny with dinner she put the baby back in her Carseat in her car and drove back to Danny's house.

Maria opened the door and called out to Danny

"Hey up here" he called from the baby's room

"Oh the crib came," Maria said, setting the baby down.

"Yeah.. I thought we could put it up together and I ordered a take out as well for us tonight my treat"

Maria thanked him and they started together assembling the crib whilst Sofia giggled from her baby chair.
