Chapter 4
Summary: Danny has some fun daughter bonding over his partner's relationship.
"Hey, monkey, come on, you're almost late." Danny said to his daughter Grace as she desperately tried searching for her missing doll. She was nearly late for school and Rachel had asked kindly for Danny to take her since she was going to be busy this morning.
"Danno, I can't find Macey!" Grace panicked a little, looking at her father with what seemed like despairing eyes.
He held his index finger up at her. "Hold on." Danny said. He quickly rummaged through some things, which included clothes and other stuff. He then went on his knees to search under the bed and that's when he saw 'Macey' the Barbie doll facing down like it was some sort of murder victim. He smiled and grabbed the doll, turning around very abruptly and holding it up towards her. "Detective Danno has solved the mystery."
She lit up. "Thank you, Danno!" She grabbed the doll but gave her dad a tight hug. He smiled to himself, hugging her tighter.
"Don't tell your mom you were almost late, okay?" Danny looked over at her with a mischievous smile.
She nodded eagerly. "Sure thing."
"Alright, monkey, let's go." He swept her off her feet as he took his daughter in his arms, making Grace smile happily.
He walked over to the car and put her down so she could open the door. They sat in Danny's Camaro and Grace looked like something was bothering her by the look on her face. She began to fiddle with Macey's hair and then looked up at her dad. "Who was that girl that was with Steve?" She questioned.
A little taken aback, he stopped doing what he was doing and looked over at his daughter. "You mean Catherine? Brown hair, cute face Catherine?"
She nodded, her pig tails dancing as she did so. "Is she nice?"
He wondered what was so intriguing about Catherine for her to be making these questions up. "Yeah, Steve's a lucky man." He admitted.
"When I grow up, I don't want a man to touch my butt. That's what Steve was doing to Catherine." She didn't even smile or laugh. She was being purely serious.
Danny looked a little horrified but was actually finding the situation quite humurous. Where on Earth did she see Steve grab Catherine's butt? And most of all, what the hell?! "And I won't let any dude touch you, okay?" He said to his daughter. The thought of a boy touching his daughter... frightened him a bit. But he knew it was going to be inevitable one day.
She nodded, smiling. "Oh, and I think I heard Steve say something about you, Danno."
Danny immediately felt intrigued, looking over at his daughter. For some reason, he got a little excited. Had she heard Steve say how wonderful of a partner he was? Or how his hair was totally better than his? Or maybe how he's the best detective around? "What'd he say, huh, monkey?" He grinned, awaiting an answer.
"Hmm, well, I don't really remember... I think he said something about you giving a Laundromat business card to a lady in a bar? I don't know, Danno." She looked a little disappointed.
Oh, wait. The bar last night... Laundromat business card? Oh shit. Slowly, the realization began to sink in. Chin wasn't joking when he said he was wasted last night. Grace just laughed.
Next time... The couch is always better than the bed.
