I own nothing. Just a little cuteness. Daddy!Danny. Cuteness! I hope. REVIEW!
"Danny," Mac said shaking his head.
Smirking slightly at the man in the drivers' seat I finished strapping Eric into his seat. It had been a little over two months since my son came into my life and I had to admit I was happy. Exhausted, but happy.
Eric was a great kid. He didn't cry all that much. When he did it was usually after I came home from a bad day or I was leaving him at the daycare. Though I wasn't sure if the first one was for me or him.
Still everyday for those two months Mac has been stopping by my apartment and helping me with Eric. It was nice having someone helping me with my son, but he kept telling me that I had to introduce everyone to Eric.
That was what today was. Mac had said that it was fine to bring Eric over for awhile since I was off and wasn't going to leave him there. Saying I was nervous was an understatement. Not that I would say it aloud either way.
As we made our way to the lab I couldn't help but think of what everyone was going to react. If I thought I wasn't ready to have kids I could only think of what everyone else thought.
"Hey Danny," Don said walking up to Mac and I, "Mac. Who's the kid?"
"Eric Messer," I said not able to keep the pride out of my voice, "My son."
I could see that Don wanted to laugh, but it died on his lips when he saw my face. Alright, stunned silence. That was one of the many things I had got myself ready to expect.
"Son?" Don asked looking down at Eric, "Hey Eric. I'm your Uncle Don."
Eric stared at Don for a moment before literally throwing himself at the man. I couldn't help but laugh at that as Don took him into his arms. Almost instantly Eric was cuddled into Don's chest banging his hand against his tie.
Soft happy gargles fell from Eric's lips as he wrapped his arms around Don's neck and held on. Mac and Don's laughter joined mine as Eric continued to hold onto Don like his life depended on it.
I had been so worried about what everyone else would think about Eric that I hadn't even begun to wonder what Eric would think of them. Though if his reaction to everyone else was the same as with Don I had nothing to worry about.
"Alright, Kiddo," I said taking Eric into my arms, "Let's let Uncle Don get back to work."
"Just ruin all the fun," Don said grinning, "Keep the old man on his toes. See you guys later."
As Don walked away I watched Eric's face fall. Slowly bouncing the baby so he wouldn't start to cry I walked to the elevator with Mac. Eric really didn't like that Don left.
Sighing I fixed my grip on my son and turned him so he was facing me. He had tears already streaming down his face as he latched onto me like he had just done with Don.
"Is this going to be a thing?" I asked softly, "Hate watching whenever anyone leaves? Don't worry, Kid. Big eyes like that no one that leaves is going to stay gone for long."
