The 7 Course Breakfast

I. Arrival

"So... did your mom really mean a seven course breakfast?" Danny asked as he and Don walked up the stairs to the Flacks' front door.

Don looked at him and smirked, "Yeah." He opened the door and stepped in before Danny could respond.

"Great," Danny chuckled nervously and followed Don in all the way into the living room, where he was greeted by the whole family.

"Donnie! Why don't you introduce this nice young fellow to us?" Mrs. Flack suggested, a little over-enthusiastically.

Danny wanted to faint right there. He looked around the room to take in all the people, 2 women and 2 men on the couch, another woman sitting on the reclining chair, and anoth.. whoa, Flack's twin-sister? Flack had a twin?

II. Introductions

"All right, everyone, this is Danny. Danny, this is everyone," Don smiled. "Don't mind'im lookin' so pale, he's sorta nervous."

Danny turned red at that.

"Aw, he's a cutie, Donnie!" Don's twin-seeming sister said.

"Mine, Molly, go steal Laurie's husband."

"Hey!" Laurie, one of the 2 girls on the couch, stood. "She can't have Mike."

Mike, the guy next to Laurie stood up, "Okay, okay, I know I'm good-looking, you don't have to fight over me though."

"I got someone who beats ya anyway," Flack grinned. "Just let'im get used to everything."

Danny was slowing inching backward during this whole little discussion but he bumped in something---someone. Flack, Sr. Great.

"I see Don and Danny are here," He smiled warmly, a hand on Danny's shoulder. "Are you all scaring Danny?"

"No, Daddy," The other girl on the couch replied, "Molly was just saying that he was a cutie."

"Shut up Janie!" Molly squealed, turning red.

"Well you did say it," The girl on the reclining chair piped in.

"Now, now, Cindy, Janie, stop teasing Molly," Mrs. Flack interrupted, "Danny is quite attractive indeed."

Don sniggered at that while Danny turned even redder.

"All right, lemme properly introduce ya," Don said with a smile.

"Danny, Laurie's the brunette sittin' next to Mike, the guy with the black hair, they're married."

"Hey Danny," Laurie greeted, grinning warmly.

"Danny," Mike nodded in acknowledgement.

"Then Janie, the other brunette, and her husband, Rob, Cindy's on the chair thing, and Molly, my almost twin," Don grinned and put his arm around his older almost twin sister.

"Hey," Danny smiled nervously. Okay, Molly twin, Cindy blonde, Janie shorter brunette with Rob, Laurie taller brunette with Mike, got it, He reminded himself.

"Aw, he talks cute too!" Molly squealed.

"See, we shoulda been twins," Don smiled, "We think alike and look alike."

Danny nodded, he wasn't sure what to say, so he just stayed glued to Don's side for now.

"Well, come on everyone, breakfast is ready," Don, Sr. announced and led everyone to the dining room.

III. Breakfast

Mrs. Flack seriously wasn't kidding, Danny realized after breakfast was done.

There had been 7 courses, literally.

Toast and waffles.

Pancakes and any possible topping for them.

Eggs -- scrambled, sunny-side up, benedict -- everything.

Ham and bacon and sausage.

Cereal and granola bars.
Yogurt (every flavor out) and every color of the rainbow fruits.

Finally, the drinks themselves were their own course: orange juice, milk, chocolate milk, strawberry milk, pineapple juice, water, coffee, and apple juice.

Everything was on the table, all at one time... their dining was huge. Danny was stuck sitting between Don and Molly for over almost an hour and a half, with no escape.

He noticed, though, that this family was a very TV-like family. They talked about everything, laughed, argued -- he thought was he was on the Brady Bunch for a minute.

Of course, everyone was interested in him; he was asked question after question after question. Danny only hoped that he was making a good first impression.

Breakfast was ending now, almost all the food was gone and everyone was stuffed.

Don reached under the table and squeezed Danny's hand. "Yer doin' good," He said softly and smiled. Danny let out a small sigh of relief and smiled back.

"So Danny," Molly said, loud enough for everyone to hear, "How long have you and Donnie been screwin'?"

Danny almost choked on air at that, "What?" He looked at Don to see that he was bright red and looking at his sister in shock.

"Molly!" Don Sr. said in surprise.

"What? You know they have been," She smirked.

"Hey, I wanna know!" Janie said with a grin.

"Me too!" Cindy and Laurie chimed in.

Danny took a sip of his OJ to try to kill time before even thinking of answering.

"And is Donnie a top or a bottom?"

Danny spit out his juice when she said that. Luckily, it was all stopped by his napkin.

"Uh, I'm, uh, I don't think... I don't think that's, uh, something to talk about," He stuttered out and cleared his throat.

Don ran his hand through his hair and looked down at the table, his cheeks were burning bright red.

Mike and Rob were snickering behind their hands at his embarrassment, but couldn't help but feel bad for him as well.

"Okay, lemme rephrase that," Laurie said sweetly, "How long have you two been going out?"

"Year n' a half, next month," Danny answered, gripping onto Don's hand under the table.

Cindy stood up in shock, "And we're only meeting you now?!"

"This is an outrage!" Molly joined and stood up.

"Yeah!" Janie and Laurie stood up.

"Girls, girls, sit down," Mrs. Flack interrupted, "Why doesn't someone check on Bradley and Winnie?"

"I will," Molly smiled and left the table.

Danny looked around in confusion. Who was Bradley.. and who was Winnie?

"Uh, may I be excused?" Don asked politely, standing up.

"Of course, honey," Mrs. Flack smiled.

Don jetted off to the bathroom as soon as she answered, leaving Danny all alone.

IV. Mom

After everything was put away, everyone went into the living room to hang out. Mrs. Flack pulled Danny aside, into the den.

"Have a seat, Danny," She said warmly, sitting on the small sofa in the room.

Danny obeyed and sat on the other end.

"So, tell me Danny, how did you and Don meet?"

"Well, uh, Mrs. Flack--"

"Please, call me Mandy," She smiled.

"Oh, okay, well, uh, we work together. I'm a CSI," He explained.

Mandy nodded in approval, "And what's your full name?"

"Uh, Danny Messer."

"Daniel Messer, I'm presuming?"

"Oh, yea, Daniel. Sorry, no one ever calls me that," He shrugged, "I guess I forgot."

Mandy laughed lightly at that, "That's quite all right, I'm sure Donnie forgot his name was Donald."

Danny smiled and nodded, "I'll remind him, if ya want me, too."

"Please," She smirked slightly. "So, what nationality are you, Danny?"

"Italian," He said proudly.

"Oh really? As am I."

Yeah, he had won her over all ready.

V. The Sisters

After Danny's little talk with Mrs. Flack, he was dragged to the living room by Cindy, while the other guys got to go downstairs and watch a hockey game.

He wasn't really into hockey, anyway.

When he came in, Molly was holding a baby boy and Janie was holding a baby girl.

"Danny, this is Bradley," Molly said, standing up and gently putting Bradley in his arms. He held him tenderly and smiled.

"Hey Bradley."

Bradley just gurgled in response, eliciting a small chuckle from Danny.

"And this is Winnie," Janie smiled. Molly took Bradley back and Janie put Winnie in Danny's hands.

"They're my little babies, 6 months old," Laurie said happily, smiling down at Winnie.

"They're gorgeous," Danny said truthfully, smiling down at Winnie as well.

"Aren't they?" Cindy asked, sitting down on the couch.

Laurie took Winnie from Danny's arms and put her in the playpen, as did Molly with Bradley.

"Now, Danny," Laurie said with a sly smile and pulled him to sit down.

"Yeah?" He asked, sitting down. He noticed that he was sandwiched between the girls, Molly and Cindy were on one side, and Janie and Laurie were on the other. Great.

"Tell us about yourself," Janie said with an innocent smile, "What you do, what you like, how long you can go without sex."

"Uh, I'm a CSI... and I play baseball... and... I don't wanna answer that question," He smiled sweetly.

"Oh come on, we are all ready got Donnie to answer, whaddaya think we were doing when you were talking with Mom?" Cindy rolled her eyes.

Danny sighed and shook his head. "A week, maybe." He couldn't believe that he just said that.

"Well, you got longer than Donnie, he said 2 days," Laurie smirked.

"Do you have any brothers?" Molly asked slyly, looping her arm through Danny's.

Janie and Laurie rolled their eyes.

"Uh, yea, one, Louie..."

"Does he look anything like you?" Cindy asked quickly, leaning on Molly's lap.

"Back off!" Molly stuck her tongue out at her.

Danny chuckled nervously and relaxed, "I don't think he's up for a relationship right now. He's sorta... keepin' it cool for now."

"Damn," Molly pouted and Cindy sighed.

"Grow up," Laurie rolled her eyes. "Back to Danny, how old are you?"

"34," He smirked, "Older than Donnie,' He said proudly.

"That's my age," Janie smiled, "We're all older than Don. Molly's 30, Cindy's 32, and Laurie's 35."

"So he's the baby?" Danny smirked. "How cute."

"That's right, so don't get angry if he acts a little spoiled," Molly rolled her eyes, "Daddy always loved his only son a little too much."

Danny chuckled and relaxed completely. He could so get all the way through this.

VI. The Guys

After his chat with the girls, Danny went downstairs to the guys.

Don, Mike, and Rob were sitting on a large, slightly old couch, leaning in to watch the last minute of the first quarter of the Ranger - Sabres game.

Danny was about to go back upstairs, since he didn't really like hockey, but one of the stairs creaked and caught Don's attention.

"Danny! C'mon, game's not even half-way done," Don smiled and patted the seat next to him.

Groaning inwardly, Danny went over and sat down.

"Here ya go," Mike passed him a beer from the small fridge next to the couch.

"Thanks," He opened the beer and drank some.

"So what are ya a fan of, Danny?" Rob asked, looking towards him,.

"Yankees," Danny answered absently.

The other guys chuckled at the answer.

"I meant hockey," Rob clarified.

"Oh, uh, the New York team."

"Islanders, Sabres, Rangers?"

"Uh... the blue ones?"

Mike laughed and patted Danny's back. "Good guess. Rangers. You're officially welcomed."

Danny forced out a laugh and nodded, taking a swig of his beer.

Sometime later (Danny really wasn't sure how long it actually was), Rob, Mike, and Don were standing up, pulling their hair and screaming... at something. Danny wasn't sure of that either.

Over all the excitement, Danny heard Don's phone ring. It was vibrating on the table, so he picked it up.

"Danny," He greeted, plugging his free ear with his finger. "All right, got it Mac, okay." He hung up and stood up.

"Donnie, hey," He nudged him with his arm, "Mac called, he needs us at a scene."

"Fuck," Don cursed, "They just went into overtime!"

He sighed and calmed down slightly.

"We gotta go guys, nice seeing ya," He smiled.

He, Danny, Rob, and Mike did that little boy hug-handshake thing before Don and Danny left upstairs.

VII. Departure

After hugs and kisses good-bye from all the women and a firm handshake from Don Sr., Don and Danny left with promises to keep in touch.

In the car, Don looked at Danny and smiled. "How was it?"

"It was good," Danny smiled, turning to face Don, "I think they liked me."

"They do, sorry bout that hockey thing. I know ya don't like it much."

"Ah, it's okay," Danny shrugged, "I woulda rather stayed with the girls though."

Don rolled his eyes at that, "Great. Don't go all metro on me, Danny."

Danny laughed and took one of Don's hand into his. "I promise I won't."

"Oh and thanks," Don said softly, squeezing Danny's hand.

"For what?"

"For comin' with me," He smiled.

"I'd go with ya to the stars, Donnie," Danny grinned.

Don laughed and ruffled Danny's hair. "Ya damn sap. Don't worry, that's our next trip."

"I can't wait," Danny said softly and kissed Don's knuckle. "I love you."

"I love you too, Danny. More than anything."

Danny smiled and relaxed into the seat, the Flacks liked him, Don loved him, his life was good.

"Oh, by the way, my dad said he wants ta meet yer family now."

Crap.
