Mac had driven the car to an old premises

Mac had driven the car to an old premise. Danny took place on the driver's seat and started the car although Mac was outside it.

He drove a few rounds over the place and parked the car without any mistake between two empty containers. When he walked back to his dad his face showed haughtiness.

"Danny what the hell….?" Mac asked.

Danny looked surprised "I wanted to show you how I can drive a car. What's wrong?"

"You shouldn't be able to drive a car. Do you know how I felt, when the car started to move?"

"I'm sorry dad! But my brother Lui showed me how to drive when we were playing mailbox….. when we were younger."

Mac raised his eyebrow "You wanted to say when you were playing mailbox baseball?"

Danny looked down to his shoes "Yes sir! But I didn't know you this time and ………."

"Shh! Calm down. I don't want to punish you for something you have done a long time ago. But if I ever catch you playing this game or if I ever have to pick you up from a police station because you played this game you will end over my knee."

"Kay Dad. But can I ask you a question?"

"Sure baby"

"How old is too old for a spanking?"

Mac couldn't help but laughed "I think as long as my spankings will work on you or show an effect on you, you will not be too old. As long as you will fit over my knee you will end there for stunts or so on."

"I hope I will be able to remember" Danny murmured.

"Just try Danny. I know sometimes it's hard to be a teenager but I can affirm it's even hard to be a teenager's dad. And now we should start to practice some things for your test. I think you will get your driving license as fast as possible."

The next two hours Mac and Danny practised driving. Mac showed Danny how to reverse into a parking space and to park the car parallel to the street.

"That's very good Danny. I think after a week of parking training you will be able to pass the test. Now we need to go home because your mum is waiting for us. She told me we will have pizza this evening."

The evening went quick with pizza and birthday cake for dinner.

Danny asked "I want to meet some friends to celebrate my birthday. Will you allow me to go out with them?"

"You can meet them but I want you to stay out of the park and I want you to be home at…."

"at ten. I know Dad."

Mac smirked "Well, actually I wanted to say I want you to be home at eleven but if you want to be home at ten……"

"C'mon Dad. Please I will never interrupt you. I swear."

Claire laughed "Mac don't be so strict it's his birthday."

"Okay Danny. But today will be an exception" Mac told his son.

"Thank you Dad!" Danny gave his mother a kiss on her cheek and left the flat.

Claire leaned her head on Mac's shoulder "Our first birthday as a family."

"Yeah it was wonderful" Mac answered "I mean Danny is a marvelous boy. He's happy most of the time and even when he's grounded or spanked, he never loses his cheeky attitude."

TWO HOURS LATER

Two hours later the phone rang.

"Mr. Taylor? This is angel of mercy hospital. Do you know Daniel Messer?"

"Sure I know him. He's my son. Why do you call me?"

"Your son is in our ER. But I can becalm you. He isn't hurt badly."

"What happen?" Mac wanted to know. His face has turned into white.

"I don't know. Some boys brought your son to us. He has a deep cut on his hand and some excoriations on his arm. But he will be able to go home. Will you come and pick him up?"

"Sure we will." Mac answered.

Fife minutes later Mac and Claire were sitting in their car on the way to the hospital.

"The nurse didn't tell me what happened" Mac told his wife "but she told me Danny's bruises are not that bad."

"I can't lose him" Claire answered "I mean I love him. He has changed our life in only one evening. I swear when I first saw him sitting in the kitchen drinking hot chocolate I had known he would be our child."

"I know baby. I would do everything to protect him."

When they arrived in the ER a nurse guided them to the room where Danny was waiting for them. A doctor put a bandage on his hand. He turned around to Mac and Claire "My name is Dr. Meyers. Danny needed five stitches on his hand. His arm is a little bit excoriated but I will give you an ointment. It's nearly impossible to believe Danny is nearly uninjured after he his fall."

Danny looked to the floor when he heard the doc telling his parents about his accident.

"What fall?" Mac answered.

"Falling out of a driving car is something I would call a heavy fall" the doctor said.

Claire looked shocked "How could you fall out of a driving car?" she asked.

"Uhm Mum. It's…….." Danny didn't want to explain.

Mac's face turned from white to a very angry red "I will only ask you one time. Did you play mailbox baseball?"

"Not exactly. You told me not to play mailbox baseball. So we changed the game in some kind of basketball. We took old cans and other garbage and tried to put it into the dust bins on our way. When I tried Marc lost the car control for a second and so I felt out of the car. I'm sorry Dad. I will never………"

"You will never be allowed to leave the flat till your 18th birthday." Mac started to yell "I will make sure you will never forget this night. I told you, you would end over my knee if you ever ……."

"But Dad!" Danny started to complain "we didn't play mailbox baseball. You told me I would end over your knee if you would catch….."

"Danny. Stop it right now. You know exactly what I had meant. And stop this attitude right now Mister."

"Sorry Dad!" Danny sniffled "Mummy?" he gave Claire a look.

"Oh no baby. You did a dangerous and stupid stunt today. You earned yourself a lot of troubles and I will not hesitate to give you a spanking by myself if you don't stop your attitude. You could have been killed."

"I'm very sorry Mummy! It will never happen again."

Dr. Meyers gave Mac and Claire an understanding look. "I have a sixteen year old son at home" he told them "I don't know why but after their 13th birthday these little rascals start changing their attitude."

Mac moaned "Can you tell me when they'll start to act more let's say adult?"

The doc laughed "No I can't. My other son is twenty years old and only one moth ago I had to spank him because he thought it would be fun to use my car without my permission to go to a college party. I caught him drunk behind the steering wheel."

He turned to Danny who looked like he had already gotten a spanking "I want you to bend over" he told the boy.

"You can't spank me" Danny told him "Dad please tell him he….."

The doc laughed "I don't want to spank you Danny. I'm pretty sure your Dad will do this job very well tonight. I want you to bend over so that I can give you, a tetanus shot."

Danny's eyes went wide "Oh. No! No way. You can't be sure"

"You need to get the tetanus shot" Dr. Meyers told him" tetanus is very dangerous."

"But I don't want to get a shot" Danny started to argue "I don't want the whole ER to seem my butt. Why can't you just give me the shot into my arm?"

"Danny please…." Claire started but she was stopped by Mac.

"Daniel Messer stop it right now! You will get your shot. Your arm is injured which is your own fault, so you will get a butt shot. You have two options. The whole ER can see you getting a shot or the whole ER can see you getting a shot into your spanked butt."

"It will not hurt" the doc tried to calm Danny.

"All doctors say it will not hurt but it does." Danny answered.

Mac looked at his son and saw a scared little boy. He gently tousled Danny's hair "I will hold your hand baby. You must try to relax and it will not hurt. Okay?"

"Kay!" Danny sniffled "Mum" he gave Claire a look "Can you turn around please?"

Claire smiled "I will turn around and I swear I will not look on your little butt."

"C'mon mum. I'm not a baby. You can't say I have a little butt."

Doc. Meyers smirked "If you don't have a little butt it will be the best to use a longer needle." He teased the boy.

"No no. Will not be necessary" Danny answered.

Claire turned around and Danny put his jeans down to his knees. He started to bend over the lounger. Mac wanted to put the boxers down but Danny turned around and asked.

"Doc. Can you put some painkillers in the injection? I mean I will need some butt-pain-killers today to cure the pain my dad will cause."

The doc laughed "I see your smart mouth attitude is on the way back. But I think you deserve every swat you will get."

"Not funny" Danny complained when he bent over again.

Mac put the boxers down and laid his hand on Danny's head. He whispered "Just relax baby"

The doc disinfected Danny's butt and gave him the shot.

"Ow!" Danny complained "it hurts"

"It's over baby." Mac said when he put the boy's boxers back in place.

"That's for you!" the doctor told Danny and gave him a lollypop "all brave little boys get a lollypop after their shot."

Danny smiled and took the lollypop.

"It want to see Danny in ten days to take the stitches out" Dr. Meyers told Clair and Mac.

Mac and Claire took their little boy and guided him to the car. Danny was rubbing his right butt cheek where he had gotten the shot.

The drive home went quickly. When Mac had parked the car Claire turned around and smiled. Danny had fallen asleep.

"He looks like a little boy." she told Mac.

"He's our little boy" Mac smiled back "I can't believe he played this stupid game. Tomorrow I will have a long talk with our little toddler. And I can tell you my hand will to the biggest part of the talking."

Mac gently tousled Danny's hair. "C'mon sleeping sleepyhead it's time to bring you into your bed."

Danny yawned "I'm not tired."

"I can see you are not tired" Mac smirked and guided the boy out of the car. In Danny's room Danny laid down on the bed in his clothes. Mac helped him out of his shoes and trousers and put the blankets over Danny's shoulders. He gave the boy a gentle kiss on his head.

Claire was standing in the doorframe. "You are a wonderful Dad" she told her husband.

"You are a wonderful Mum" Mac answered "I never dreamed about having such a perfect family. I can't tell how grateful I am."

THE NEXT MORNING

Mac had the day off. Claire had to start to work in the morning when Danny still was asleep. At nine o'clock Mac entered the boy's room.

"It's time to stand up" he told his son.

Danny opened one eye "I don't want to stand up. I think my bed will be a safe place for me."

Mac couldn't help but smirked. He gave the boy a light smack on his butt. "I want you stand up now. You can take a shower but you must protect your stitches. You will eat your breakfast and then we will have an extensive conversation."

Danny stood up and gave his dad a mischievous smile "Don't you know the proverb Talk is silver, silence is golden.?" he asked.

"Little smart mouth" Mac gave Danny his best I'm a very strict Dad look "You can be sure there will not be too much words in our conversation."

"C'mon Dad" Danny started to plead "It was my birthday and it wasn't mailbox baseball. So …………."

"Daniel Messer I want you to go into the bathroom right now. We will have a long talk And this is your own fault. So start right now."

Danny did like he was told and twenty minutes later he was sitting in the kitchen eating his breakfast. Mac was sitting in front of him.

"How is your arm doing?" he asked.

"The stitches are stinging a little and my elbow hurts but it's not that bad." Danny answered.

Mac changed the boy's bandages and gently put some ointment on his arm.

"Why did you play this stupid game?" he asked.

Danny didn't answer and looked down.

"Danny I want an answer. Why did you play this game although I told you, you were definitely not allowed to do it?"

"Because I didn't think. When Marc asked if I would play I told him I was not allowed to. Then we decided to change the game. We were only talking about. I mean we had fun and teased each other. When we were driving threw the street I started the game without thinking about. I'm very sorry dad. And it will never happen again."

"I will make sure it'll never happen again." Mac told his son. "Drop your jeans down!" he ordered

Danny gave his dad a big puppy dog look but he knew he had lost. He pulled his jeans down to his knees. Mac guided the boy over his lap and pulled his boxers down.

"DAD! PLEASE NOT ON MY B…." Danny complained.

Mac raised his hand and started to warm the boys butt. He didn't lecture until the put was colored in a deep pink.

SWAT SWAT "You were told not to lay this stupid game" SWAT SWAT "You could have been killed" SWAT SWAT "You better start to think before you do such a stupid stunt again." SWAT SWAT "I will not tolerate dangerous stunts" SWAT SWAT "you can play pranks or have fun" SWAT SWAT "but if you ever do such a dangerous stunt you'll end in the same position" SWAT SWAT "is that clear?" SWAT

Danny sobbed "It's clear Dad. I swear. Ow! But please stop!"

"We are almost done baby. This is for disobeying again!" Mac took the flyswatter from the table and landed two stinging swats on every cheek in front of him.

"OW! Daddy OW Please stop Ouch!" Danny sobbed. Tears were running over his face.

"Shh. It's over and forgiven" Mac told his son, while he put the boxers back in place. He helped Danny to stand up and hugged him. Danny leaned his head against Mac's chest and sobbed. Mac tousled his hair.

"You are rounded for the next ten days." he told his son.

"But Daddy" Danny sniffled.

"No buts Danny. You have earned yourself a lot of troubles. And you have stitches in your hand. I don't want you to get an infection so it will be the best if you stay here. I will ask Flack if he will come when Mum and I are not here."

"Kay Dad."

Mac took Danny's chin in his hand. "I love you baby. And I want you to grow up save. I can't loose you. Please never do such a dangerous stunt. Okay?"

"Okay Dad. But please never use the flyswatter on my butt again. I'm not a fly you know. If I was a fly I had not fallen out of the car yesterday." Danny told his Dad rubbing his butt.

"No problem son. I think I will remember and buy a paddle for your little butt." Mac teased.

"You know that's not funny?" Danny asked.

"C'mon smart mouth I think you will survive. Now I want you to go to your room and take a rest."

"Can I watch some movies in the living room?" Danny asked.

"You can watch some movies if you'll promise to lay down on the couch." Mac landed a light smack on Danny's butt.

"C'mon Dad. I'm injured. There's no need to do more damage on my butt." Danny complained when he walked to the living room.

"I think your injuries can not be that bad." Mac told him "otherwise you wouldn't be such a smart mouth." Mac laughed.
