Disclaimer: I love the NY writers at this moment. Even if the finale has to happen.

Author's Note: The next in the series! Yay! It's short, but I felt that it was important. I have the next chapter written, but after that I don't have anymore. I will try and get some more written, but school is fixing to get crazy. Thanks for all yall's support and love!


"Anna are you almost ready?" Lindsay yelled up the stairs to her daughter. "They're going to be here any moment."

"Does she really have to go Montana?" Danny asked wrapping his arms around his wife.

"Yes, and you aren't going to do anything to embarrass her when he gets here."

"Like what? Show him her baby pictures? He's already seen them all. Hell for most of them he was there."

"Don't be a wise-ass, you know what I meant."

"I do, and I promise I won't embarrass her."

"That's all I ask."

"How do I look?" Anna asked as she reached the end of the stairs.

"Gorgeous baby girl." Lindsay said kissing her forehead.

"Daddy?"

"You don't look like my baby girl anymore. You look like a beautiful young lady bug."

"Thank you." Anna said wrapping her arms around her father. She broke away from him when the doorbell rang.

"You want to get it or do you want me too?" Lindsay asked.

"I'll get it." Anna said. Lindsay couldn't help but to laugh at how nervous her daughter was.

"Hi." Anna said opening the door.

"Hi. You look beautiful."

"Thank you." Both just stood on each side of the door.

"Hi Andrew." Lindsay said giving him a hug.

"Hi Aunt Lindsay, Uncle Danny."

"Don't hurt my lady bug."

"I won't." Andrew said and Lindsay slapped Danny in the chest.

"You two go and have fun. Be home by ten thirty." Lindsay said giving each child a kiss on the cheek.

"I can't believe you." Lindsay said after Anna and Andrew had departed.

"What?"

"'Don't hurt my ladybug.' Really?"

"I had to." Lindsay just rolled her eyes at her husband.


"Hi mom, hi daddy."

"Hey ladybug. Did you have a good time?"

"I did."

"Good. Okay I am going to bed, you two have fun with your girl talk." Danny said getting up and giving each of his girls a kiss on the forehead.

"So" Lindsay said as her daughter set down next to her on the couch.

"I had so much fun mom. I mean it was just like we were hanging out even though we were on a date."

"That's what happens when you date your best friend."

"Was it like that for you and daddy?"

"Yeah it was. Now tell me more."

"Okay so Uncle Flack drove us to the movies and we were a little early, so we just talked. And we laughed a lot, I may or may not have snorted coke up nose." Lindsay started laughing and so did Anna. "It was just really relaxed and a lot of fun."

"I'm glad. You guys going to go on another one?"

"Definitely. And mom guess what?"

"What baby girl?"

"Andrew held my hand." Lindsay smiled at how excited her daughter was.


"Okay next time I get to pick the movie." Andrew said as they walked out of the theater.

"It wasn't that bad."

"Are you kidding me it was a romantic movie."

"No it wasn't, there were funny parts." Anna said slapping Andrew in his chest.

"Okay so it was a romantic comedy. Still not enough action for me." Andrew said setting down on a bench to wait for his dad.

"Thanks for asking me out." Anna said sitting next to him and laying her head on his shoulder.

"You don't have to thank me. I'm just glad that you said yes. I didn't think you would want to go out with me."

"I've wanted to go out with you for quite awhile actually."

"Really?"

"Yeah, but I thought we were only friends."

"Well if I was to be honest I've wanted to go out with you for a long time too."

"I'm glad that we finally decided to do it." Anna said.

"Me too." Andrew said taking Anna's hand in his. The two sat in comfortable silence before Flack pulled up in front of the theatre. Andrew got up, and keeping Anna's hand in his, led her to the car.

"Hey Uncle Flack." Anna said as she and Andrew slid in the backseat. She couldn't help but notice Flack looking at their intertwined hands.

"Hey cutie pie. Did you all have fun?"

"We did, even if the movie sucked." Andrew said laughing.

"You'll get used to them. All four years I dated your mom we only saw chick flicks." Flack said laughing.

"Gross." Andrew said and Anna slapped him in the chest again.

"It was really exciting, even if most people wouldn't think it was a big deal." Anna said smiling.

"I think it's a pretty big deal. Hand holding is a vital part of a relationship. The first time your dad held my hand I almost passed out." Lindsay said remembering the day in front of the school.

"I'm glad you felt like that. I swear my heart stopped beating when he took it."

"So anything else happen? Maybe when he dropped you off?"

"No, he just walked me to the door and we hugged. It was a perfect first date."

"I'm glad."

"Okay I am now going to go upstairs and tell Jessie all about my date." Jessie was Hawkes and Angells daughter. "Good night, I love you."

"Love you too." Lindsay said getting up and turning off all the lights, before heading upstairs herself.

"I take it the date went well from the smile on your face." Danny said as Lindsay walked in the room.

"Perfect. She will definitely be talking about it for a few days. Are you okay with that?"

"Yeah. She has to grow up sometime, and she's a smart girl."

"You are taking this better than I thought you would."

"What's that supposed to mean?" Danny asked as Lindsay sat down next to him.

"It means that Anna is your little girl and it hits you hard that she is growing up."

"She's just doing it so fast. None of her brothers grew up this fast."

"Yes they did." Lindsay said giving Danny a kiss. "You just didn't notice it."
