Lindsay sat at her desk wishing that the stack of paperwork she was doing would disappear. She had been called out to a scene early in the morning only for it to turn out to be a suicide. Hence why she was stuck doing paperwork. There wasn't even any trace that she could analyze instead. She looked down the hall to see her daughter coming towards her. It was not rare for one of the Messer children to show up at the crime lab unannounced. They had been coming to the lab since they were born, and everyone was always happy to see them.

"Hey mom." Anna said setting her book bag down on the floor and setting on the couch.

"Hey cutie pie."

"Is daddy around?"

"Nope, he's out at a scene. Do you need him?"

"No. I have something to tell you, but I don't want daddy to find out."

"Should I be worried?"

"No, I'm not in trouble or anything, I just need to tell you something."

"Okay." Lindsay got up and shut her office door before setting down on the couch next to her daughter. "Shoot."

"Andrew kissed me!!!" Anna said barely containing her happiness.

"He did?"

"Yeah it was perfect, nothing like the stories you hear about first kisses."


"Hey Anna-banana" Andrew said as Anna walked out of her class.

"Hey. Why aren't you at practice?" She asked taking Andrews hand.

"It was cancelled today, so I get to spend the afternoon with you."

"I like practice getting cancelled."

"I figured you would. I was thinking we could go get some ice cream, and then since it's so nice outside we could go to the park."

"Sounds good. But I won't be able to stay for very long I have a ton of homework to do."

"I thought you would say that, hence why I brought a blanket. I was thinking we could do our homework together. Maybe you could even help me with biology."

"I think that will work." The couple stopped at the ice cream store, before continuing to the park. Andrew spread out the blanket and Anna sat down.

"I don't see how you are so disciplined, and actually do your homework at home."

"I don't know, I just like to do it. It makes me feel good when I get everything done."

"You want to do mine for me?"

"No, I do enough. Just because I get mine done early doesn't mean I like doing it." Anna said laughing.

"Fine I guess I will do my own." The couple worked for a little while longer.

"Done." Anna said shutting her math book.

"You suck."

"Do you want some help?"

"No, I want to be done for the afternoon. I'll do the rest after dinner." Andrew said shutting his own math book.

"I want to run." Anna said getting up and putting her hair in ponytail.

"I'll race you to that tree over there." Andrew said pointing.

"On your mark get, set, go." Anna said taking off. Andrew took off after her, and beat Anna to the tree.

"We're trying that again." Anna said when she reached the tree.

"Why can't you just accept the fact that I am a faster runner than you?"

"Because." This time Andrew counted down and the two took off running. Anna was ninety-nine percent sure that Andrew let her win, but she didn't care.

"Beat you." Anna said setting down on the blanket.

"Lucky break."

"Whatever helps you sleep at night." Anna said turning so she was facing Andrew. Anna wasn't sure who moved forward first, all she knew was that she was kissing Andrew. It was a short kiss, and when they pulled apart Anna rested her forehead against Andrew's.


"That is adorable." Lindsay said when her daughter finished.

"I know. It was so sweet, and he was so sweet. And god mom it was perfect."

"First kisses should be perfect. They are a sign that good things are still to come."

"I sure hope so, cause I really like him." Anna said.

"If you want to stick around for half an hour, I'm off, and I'll walk home with you."

"Sounds like a plan."


"Montana you care to explain why you and my daughter were smiling like lunatics all afternoon?" Danny asked sitting down next to his wife on the couch.

"Nope, it's our little secret."

"Does it have something to do with her and Andrew?"

"Maybe." Lindsay said leaning into Danny's chest.

"You really aren't going to tell me?"

"No I'm not. When it's the right time to tell you, I will, but for now it's our little secret." Lindsay said turning around and giving Danny a kiss. "Just leave it alone."
