Rainy night
Summary: Danny is called back to serve in Iraq , leaving his family wondering where he is
AN: Jack McCoy is Danny and Delinda's first child, he was my own creation. But I don't own Vegas!
Chapter 5: the call
Jack sat at his usual place between his two best friends at the Montecito day care. Today was Saturday, so he didn't have to go to preschool.
It had been 3 weeks since Danny had left and his family had started to resent it.
Delinda had been drowning herself at work. Both Mike and Piper had been going to the McCoy's during the last few weeks but not even this made Dee feel better
Jack had also started to feel like something was missing; not even playing with Hooch and Haley made him feel better
Even Jen missed Danny; she was cranky all day and didn't sleep. Not even a little
That night while his mother was tucking him into bed, she seemed more off than lately
Jack looked at her curiously "mummy?"
"mhhh" Dee still didn't seem to be there
"When is daddy coming back?"
"I don't know hun, soon I hope" she kissed his forehead
"I hope so too" Jack breathed out
"Goodnight" Delinda kissed him on the cheek one last time and closed the door behind her.
Once in her room, she walked up to the baby's crib "you miss dad too don't you baby?"
Jen looked at her in owe. Delinda assumed that was a yes
"Come here" she picked the baby up "let's try talk to him"
She dialed something on the phone while she walked across the room with Jen
"Hello?" a voice asked on the other end
"Cooper?" Delinda breathed hardly
"Is everything okay?" he asked worriedly
"Sure, everything is fine…" Dee said weakly "well no, I guess not everything is fine since Danny isn't here to tuck his kids to bed"
"Oh" Cooper breathed. He knew it hurt. It did
"I was wondering…" Delinda started "you know, since you are a con decorated marine an all…"
"Yes?"
"If you could get someone to help me talk to him" there was an awkward silence
"I'll see what I can do, but it will have to wait until morning"
"Okay, thanks cooper, night"
"Night"
