I own nothing. Just a little cuteness. Daddy!Danny. Cuteness! I hope. REVIEW!


"Hey Mac," Adam said into the phone, "I got the results of that test you had me run. Sorry it took so long, but I had a lot of things to do on the case the Stella and Lindsey are working and then there was…"

"Adam," I said cutting him off, "The results."

It had been a little over a week since I had first taken the DNA sample from Danny's son. Like him I was almost completely positive that the little boy was his son, but we needed to be sure.

I knew that it didn't matter anymore. Danny was attached to the boy, who he finally named Eric Julian Messer. Eric was Danny's son now whether it was by blood or not.

Since Eric came into Danny's life I've been helping him with his hours hoping to get to the point where he worked somewhat reasonable hours. When he was at work though Eric was at a babysitter that I had checked out beforehand.

It had taken a few hours, but we set up a little bedroom for Eric after buying everything. And a few days of showing him what to do Danny was able to change his diaper.

Now it was amazing to watch him with Eric. It was like he had been a father his whole life. Because of that I hoped that Adam was going to say that the sample did belong to Danny's son.

In the end if I had to tell Danny that we had to go to CPS it would break his heart. He had spent only nine days with the little boy and if the test was right he'd spend the rest of his life with him.

"He's Danny's son," Adam said in a hushed tone.

"Okay," I said nodding my head feeling relief flood me, "Adam, I don't need to tell you to keep this…"

"I know, Mac. Keep it on the DL. No one needs to know about this until Danny wants them to. Don't worry. I won't say anything. Though I am hoping to maybe get a picture of the little guy. I mean, I want to see what his kid looks like."

Shaking my head I hung up the phone and started to walk into Danny's apartment. I was already on the way to his place to give him a ride to drop Eric off and then to the lab since he didn't have a place to hold Eric on his bike.

"Hey Mac," Danny said opening the door with Eric in his arms.

"Ready to go?" I asked watching him go back into his apartment.

"Yeah. Hey, can you hold him for a second? I need to wash my hands before we go."

Opening my arms I took Eric from the younger man making the baby start screaming almost instantly. It was like this almost every single time. It was like he knew it was time for his Dad to leave.

"One day," I said bouncing him in my arms, "Hey Danny, Adam got the results of the test in."

Everything seemed to quiet when I said that. Both of us knew what was on stake if it turned out Eric wasn't Danny's son. I was just glad that it wasn't bad news that I had to tell him.

"He's your son," I said staring at him.
