I own nothing. Just a little cuteness. Daddy!Danny. Cuteness! I hope. REVIEW!
"Danny," Mac said calmly, "I already checked. There are no bodies visible."
Nodding my head I walked into Autopsy and did a quick look around. I knew that Mac would make sure everything was fine for Eric, but it was always good to do a double check.
Once I was sure that Mac was right I felt myself relax. Eric was only a few months old there was no way I was going to let him see a dead body. No, no matter how old he was I didn't want him to see a dead body.
"So this is the littlest Messer," Sid said walking up to me with Hawkes.
This time Eric was actually half asleep in my arms. That was something I would never get used to. It was like he had a completely blind faith and love in me. It was amazing.
"Eric," I said nodding my head.
Eric's eyes opened wider when I said his name. I could still see just how sleepy he was, but he moved so he could see Sid and Hawkes. Instantly both of them smiled happily at my son.
"Hey Kiddo," Sid said waving, "I'd hold you, but I think you're too comfy on your Daddy. Huh?"
Eric blinked slowly at that and in the back of my mind I wondered if that was his way of saying yes. Was it weird that I thought my son understood what I was saying and what was going on around him?
"Already a genius," Hawkes said shaking his head, "Maybe he'll be a doctor. How does that sound, Eric? Doctor Messer?"
Eric once again blinked his eyes, but this time he was focused on Hawkes. Oh, it looked like he really did want to be a doctor. That actually sounded like a pretty nice idea in my book.
I hadn't really thought of what the future would hold for him. A doctor would be a good start, but, honestly, as long as Eric was doing something he loved, and legal, I knew I'd be proud of him.
"I think he's going to fall asleep," Hawkes said lowering his voice.
"Good thing I only have one more thing to do," I said smiling softly.
Hawkes nodded his head before saying he had to get back to work. As he left Mac, Sid, and I stood around talking for a few more minutes. Well, Sid talked to Eric while Mac and I just listened.
I really wanted to see what kind of relationship the two of them were going to have when Eric grew up. I could actually almost see it now. It was going to be an interesting one to say the least.
"Danny," Mac said calmly, "You'll have to finish the tour up yourself. I got a case."
"Time to get back to work," Sid said smiling, "We must do this again, Eric. Though next time I hope you're a little more awake."
Laughing slightly I made my way to the elevator. I just had one more person I had to introduce to Eric. I don't know why, but I started to feel more nervous than I had before.
"Come on, Eric," I said sighing, "One more person. Then bed."
