I do not own CSI. I do not own the CSI characters.

RATED K

I actually got another chapter out for you today even without getting a single review.

BUT... I see quite a bit of traffic so I know you are out there and following.

So, here ya go...

This Chapter is about Nick spending time just the way he wanted to... with his little girl.

I have had requests for Daddy/ Daughter time and I aim to please.

I hope you like this one.

If you don't then you need to tell me so I can improve.

If you do, then I need to know so I can continue to write more. Okay?

Now, without any further interruptions...READ ON:

The two of them laughed softly as they watched their daughter straighten up in Brett's arms leaving behind two, tiny, sticky, hand prints on the window. They smiled wider as she clapped those sticky hands together with pure excitement to see her father.

"Um, I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say she is pretty happy to see you," Jules said sarcastically as she laughed.

Nick didn't respond, he just opened his door and hopped out to see her. He was just as excited.

"Hi, Brett, listen, thank you so much, man, I really appreciate it," Nick said looking at him before quickly looking at his daughter smiling.

Brett nodded at Nick and told him it was absolutely his pleasure.

As Nick held out his arms to his daughter, Emma literally flew into them. He held her in front of him and raised her up into the air.

"Hey! Here is my Munchkin! Hi, Honey, Hiiiii there!" he spoke in a higher pitched tone than usual.

Jules smiled lovingly as she got out of the car and looked over at the two of them. Nick was such a mush when it came to Emma. Dead bodies couldn't break him, autopsies didn't even make him flinch, but Jules' tough, strong, CSI didn't have a chance when it came to his little girl. His daughter's smile could make him literally melt.

"Hi, Daddy! You is taken me now?" she asked thinking Nick was there for a visit.

"No, Princess, Daddy is home now…Daddy is right here where he belongs," he said as he pulled her tightly to his chest and kissed her face.

Jules looked over at Brett and Kurt. The two of them looked as if they wanted to cry. Jules couldn't help it but her smile turned into a grin at how funny they looked. Brett looked over at her, pressed his lips together, waved his hand sideways in front of his face before mouthing…"It's so touching…a true love story!"

Jules smiled wider and walked over to him.

"Don't you start crying now!" she laughed.

"Oh, Jules, look at him with her," Brett said as Nick threw Emma up in the air over and over again as he walked up to the house. "That man…he is so in love with his family…I knew it…I knew you two would find your way back to each other! Right, Kurt! What did I say!" he exclaimed proudly.

"He did, he said it. He always said that you and Nick met in the Heavens and found each other on earth…a romantic, he is!" Kurt smiled at Brett.

"Truth! Truth!" Brett yelled, "Hand to God, Truth!"

Jules laughed and kissed Brett on the cheek and hugged him tightly.

"I love you, you know that?" she told him, "You really are a great friend. A true friend, Brett," she smiled.

Brett smiled back.

"I feel the same, Sweet Cheeks, you know I do!" he said happily.

"Thank you again, guys, really," she said to both men, "Kurt, I am sorry Nick didn't greet you properly. Please don't take offense…he is just so…" Jules said but Kurt cut her off.

"Oh, Honey, I know! I know, that man can't see anything around him right now but that little girl in his arms. Please, Honey!" he laughed at her and waved his hand dismissing her concern.

"Thank you, thank you for everything. Would you guys like to stay for dinner? I can order out," she offered.

"Oh, Sweetie, you get your ass into that house and enjoy that family. You are too kind…you know you need to be with just them…you know it. Go make up for lost time! And as for me and my man...we are leaving…peace out!" he said jokingly.

Jules felt a little dizzy when she walked into the kitchen so she made sure to get herself some water. She read somewhere that dehydration can make you dizzy, especially when pregnant so she went to right to the refrigerator and grabbed a bottle of water. Walking toward the T.V. Room she stopped and leaned against the wall when she saw Nick and Emma on the floor. She stood still, just drinking her water and watching them playing together. Her heart melted. There on the floor, just as he had wished for, was Nick and Emma. Nick was leaning back against the bottom of the couch and Emma knelt in front of him between his legs pretending to feed him a mini cup of tea.

Jules continued to stay silent and just watched.

"Mmmm, now this has to be the best tea I have ever had, Miss Stokes," he told her.

"I is Emma Jilwian Stokes," she said as if he didn't know her name.

"Well, Miss Emma, you sure do know how to make a great cup of tea!" he said pretending to take another sip.

"You wanna cookie wit dat, Daddy?" she tilted her head and asked him sweetly .

"Hmmm, well did YOU bake it?" he turned his head slightly and squinted.

"Me made it. Me did!" she said holding an invisible cookie that Nick took from her hands and bit making a crunching sound.

"Oh, Miss Emma! You sure do know how to bake too!" he chuckled.

Nick looked up and saw Jules watching him from the kitchen. It was exactly what he had dreamed of and they both knew it.

"I is a gooded baykaw, right?: she asked with her "accent" in full swing.

Nick pretended to finish his cookie.

"Yes, you are a good baker, but... I am not really your daddy! I am a big bad wolf dressed to look like your daddy!" he yelled, grabbed Emma around her waist, and scooped her into his arms and onto his lap.

Jules laughed when he made his daughter screech with laughter as he growled like a dog and ate her up. He tickled her as he buried his face in her neck and she laughed and laughed. Nick was laughing hard too and as his head came up from Emma's neck, his eyes caught Jules' again. He smiled softly at her. They didn't need any words to know what the other was thinking. The laughter in the Stokes' house was the most beautiful sound for both of them. The feeling they had just by being together, just the three of them, was pure happiness.

"Daddy?" Emma asked as she sat on her father's lap.

"What, Honey?" he looked back at her and brushed some hair out of her face with his finger.

"Yaw stayin' now? You is not leavin' no moe?" she asked tilting her head and squinting.

Nick wrapped his arms around her and squeezed her tightly, he put his hand on the back of her head to rest the side of her face against his shoulder.

"I'm not going anywhere, Emma…Daddy is home now. Daddy's trip is over, okay?" he said as his throat tightened.

Emma pulled her face back from his shoulder to look at him.

"Dat's good," she whispered, "Cus I misted you."

"I missed you too, Sweet Pea, I missed you too," Nick said and grabbed her into his chest hugging her tightly.

Jules was thinking the very same thing and under her breath she whispered….

"I missed you, too, Cowboy…I missed you, too."
