A/N: These shorts have no order to them. I'm just writing as they come to me. This one is going to be about the rambunctious little Daniel and his older siblings. Starting from when he was a baby till he is about 5. The memories might be a little short, sorry. There will also be flashback memories with Phoebe and Teddy when they were little. All mistakes are mine!

3 weeks home with baby Daniel July 2027

There's nothing like having a newborn baby in the house to really make you feel your age. It's like you become a zombie of your former self.

I fell asleep on the couch yesterday after being up with Daniel all night. Ana needed the break and I took over. She's not able to breastfeed this time because he wouldn't latch on correctly no matter how hard we tried. Ana also couldn't keep up the supply and pumping just wasn't working. She was devastated.

So when I woke up the next morning I come to find out that my oldest son had painted my finger and toe nails green and put a bunch of bows in my hair.

What he doesn't know is I plan to get him back. I just have to wait for a night where I'm not dead in the water.

Payback's a bitch. He won't see it coming.

Today Ana and I are taking Daniel to GEH. You can say I kind of want to show him off. He's really growing into his features and you can say that he looks a lot more like me then Teddy did. Even right down to my gray eyes.

As soon as we walk into GEH a crowd of woman hover around us in hopes to see the baby. Thankfully Jason and Sawyer are on top of it and push them all away. I'm glad it's finally not my face they're fawning all over.

Well, in a way it is my face…

We make our way to the 20th floor and I notice that Andrea and Ros are waiting in the lobby.

They both rush over to the car seat and start oolging my little boy. I know just how you feel little man.

"Ana, you look amazing. It's hard to believe you just had a baby."

"Thank you Ros." She blushes.

I put the car seat down and take Daniel out so they can get a closer look at him. After I pick him up he lets out the biggest fart.

Holy crap I can't believe something that loud and forceful came out of something so tiny.

"Here you go Ros." I try my best to hand him over to Ros.

"Oh, I don't think so. Not after that noise. I can only picture what's in that diaper now." She laughs.

"Oh, you know you miss changing diapers. It's been awhile hasn't it?"

"And I'm ok with that, boss. Oh, by the way I think you look good with bows it your hair."

"He didn't." That boy is going down!

"Oh, he did." Ros pulls out her phone and shows me the picture. "I think it suits you." She smiles.

"I got the same one." Andrea tells me.

"Who else saw this picture?" I ask. I look over at Ana who just shrugs. I hand Ana our son and pull out my phone.

"Hey Dad."

"Theodore, who did you send the picture too?"

"Just Ros and Andrea…. And maybe Welch, Barney and everyone on the security team. Oh... and…"

"Enough. I get it." I sigh. "Maybe I should take the phone away."

"Dad. It's just a joke…." I hear him smiling over the phone. "Uncle Elliot said you did the same thing to him when you guys were kids."

"I would watch your back."

"I'm shakin' in my boots daddy-o." He laughs. "I got to go." And with that he hangs up.

I put my phone back in my pocket and I have already devised a plan to pay back my oldest son. I take Daniel back out of Ana's arms.

"Let's get to my office and clean up this little guy." I take Ana's hand and lead her to my office, while Andrea and Ros get back to work.

"I know that look Grey, what are you up too?" Ana asks me after we enter my office.

"Who me?" I grin. "When we're done changing Danny we're going to visit Barney and Welsh."

"Should I be worried about my son?"

I shrug. I lay a blanket down on the couch and then lay Daniel on top. "At least I don't have to worry about you for a couple of years." I tickle his little belly and he coos at me. "But you would never do anything like that to your daddy will you?"

After cleaning Danny all up, the three of us head down to IT to visit and I plot my revenge. Ana gets sidetracked with some of the lady's down here. And while they hang out with the baby. I meet with Barney.

"I need your help…."

A couple hours later we arrive home.

"I'm going to go and put him down. He's had a long day. And then I'll start dinner." Ana kisses my cheek and leaves the room.

I'm in the kitchen pouring myself a glass of wine when my oldest storms in.

"Alright dad. We're even. Can you take this off now?" He holds up his phone for me to see.

"What you don't like it. I think you look… adorable." I smile.

I had Barney post a picture on his Instagram and twitter of Teddy when he was 3 wearing a dress and his hair was all done up. He's also with one of his old friends that was wearing almost the same thing. They were playing dress up at this little girl's birthday party. I was nice enough to blur out the other kids face.

"Would you have rather me use the one of you in the bathtub?"

"Dad, all my friends saw it…."

"Yeah... sounds familiar."

"Ok, I'm sorry dad. I won't do it again…. At least not share with everyone next time." He smiles sheeply at me.

We do have a ball pranking each other.

"Truce?" He asks.

"I guess…" I say rubbing my chin.

"Dad… please… the girls…"

"Oh, the girls should find it charming." This causes him to roll his eyes. "But, I'll have Barney take it down."

Barney hacked into his accounts and changed his passwords so he couldn't take them down.

"Thanks dad."

"Now, why don't you go clean that mess you call a room."

"Oh, now you're just asking way too much of me. If I clean it I won't be able to find anything." He smirks

"If you clean it, it won't smell like something died in there…"

"It does not!" He laughs "It's smells comme envoyé des Teddy." And with that he walks off.

Teenagers.

Daniel is 1 year old - August 2028

I have Phoebe keeping an eye on Danny while I make this phone call. He is in her room, and they're hanging out. Danny is a lot more attached to Phoebe then Teddy. He will follow that girl anywhere. It's one of the cutest things.

Ana is at work today, and I decide to work from home today. Summer vacation is almost over and I plan to take everyone on one last trip before school starts. So tomorrow we are leaving for Hawaii.

I finish my phone call and head upstairs to collect my munchkin. Daniel has a lot more energy and is a lot mischievous than the other two ever were. He started to walk at 6 months, skipped crawling all together. By 8 months he was running. We feel it was so he could keep with Teddy and Phoebe. Sitting still isn't in the boys' vocabulary. He's always go go go.

"What the-" I'm in shock. "Phoebe?" Where the heck is that girl?

Mr. Daniel Grey is standing at one of the walls, which is now covered in what appears to be Phoebe's make-up. There's blush, lipstick, nail polish everywhere. Including Danny who painted himself in it. He looks pretty proud of himself too.

"Daniel!" I shout and he just smiles bigger.

"Purtey" I shake my head.

"It might be pretty, but bad." I take the stuff out of his hands and puts out his lip. Phoebe comes out of her en-suite and also finds herself in shock at her new 'pretty' walls.

"I was only in the bathroom for a couple of minutes I swear. I thought…" I can tell she's about to cry. "I'm sorry daddy."

"It's ok. Just help clean it up while I take this stinker to get a bath." I scoop him up in my arms.

"Fefe… fefe…" He calls out to her trying to reach out to her.

"She's not going to save you bogger. Just wait till mommy gets home and sees it."

"Mama. Yay." He cheers as I carry him to the bathtub.

I start the water and put him on the ground. I pull out my phone and snap a picture of him and send it to Ana.

I wonder if I should just put him in the tub, clothes and all.

"You know what you did was bad, right?"

"Ba?" He questions.

"You go are going to drive your daddy into an early grave little man." I tickle him and he falls into a fit of giggles.

I undress him and turn off the water in the tub which is filled with bubbles.

"Alright Danny, time to play in the water and get clean." I place him in the tub and start cleaning him up when my phone rings with Ana's ringtone.

"Hey baby."

"What in the world did he get into now?" She asks me while laughing. Good thing she can see the funny side.

"That would be Phoebe's make up. You should see the lovely painting he put on her wall."

She sighs deeply, "Rugrat. I should be home shortly."

"Say hi to mommy Danny."

"MAMA!" He yells.

"So what do you think of changing his middle name to trouble?" I ask her and she laughs.

"It is fitting. I'm packing up. Now remember honey, you're in charge. I love you."

Woman, I don't remember the last time I was in charge.

"Love you too."

I look at the water Daniel is sitting in and it's filled with so many different colors it's almost brown now.

"I'm going to have to tell your uncle Jason to hire more guys for the trip just to keep an eye on your butt."

"Dadda" He reaches up to me telling me he is done.

And I also have to remember to hire someone to clean up Phoebe's room.

Daniel is now 2 years old… March 2030

We are at the park. Yes, the park. Were every other little kid is and spreading germs all over my children. Not to mention all the moms are staring at me and the fathers are staring at my wife. Sure, we're good looking people, but I'm pretty sure they know who we are. Almost everyone in Seattle does. These are the reasons we don't come to the park.

However, Ana talked me into going. She told me Danny needs to run around and burn off some of that energy with other kids, so he'll take a nap today. This is something Ana has been doing for a while in attempt to have the batteries die in our little energizer bunny.

"What is Teddy doing?" Ana asks me, raises her eyebrow and pointing over to our oldest son.

He has Daniel in his arms and a crowd of teenage girls around him. He's using his baby brother to pick up girls. Or Daniel, is picking up the girls, he is a flirt at only the age of two.

I see Teddy is handed a piece of paper from one of the girls. And I can only guess it's a phone number.

"Is he?" Ana shakes her head.

"Looks that way." I laugh.

"I'm glad you think it's funny." She smacks me on the chest.

"What do you expect from him?"

"Not to use my son as bait. We should just buy him a puppy. Works just as well." She tells me.

"Oh, it does huh?"

"I mean that's what i hear." She shrugs. "Should I embarrass him or let this go till later?"

"Oh, it looks like our daughter will do that for you."

I can't hear what their talking about, but Danny leaps into Phoebe's arms. I see two of the girls walk away, but the one that handed her number to him stays.

Phoebe comes walking back over with Danny.

"I saved your son." She tells us.

"What did you say to him?"

"Nothing." She shrugs her shoulders. "I figured my little bro needed to get away from being used to pick up chicks."

"Mommy!." He reaches out for Ana and she takes him into her arms.

I notice the girl that was talking to Teddy leave and he walks over to us.

"Thanks Phoebe."

"You're welcome."

Wait, what?

"Are you thanking your sister?" I ask very curiously.

"Yeah. I really just wanted to talk to Julie-Ann. But the other two came over and started to hit on me while I was trying to you know hit on Julie-Ann. But for some reason Danny is like a magnet with the chicks." He tussles Danny's hair. "Phoebe scared off the other two girls. They're way to pretentious for me."

"And total bitches." Phoebe adds.

"Phoebe Grace!" Ana tells her sternly.

"Sorry. But just saying the truth. Do you think we can go now?"

We get back to the house and I toss Danny in the tub. He's covered head to toe in dirt. I think sometimes the child thinks he's a pig.

After cleaning he up, all shiny and new I take him out of the tub and dry him down with a towel. I reach over to grab his clothes and he charges out of the room.

"Daniel Grey!" I get up and take off after him. He's butt naked and running around the hallway.

"Mommy!" He screams. "Mommy!"

Ana comes out of our room to see what's going on.

"What's wrong old man? Can't keep up with him?" She says to me laughing.

"You know I haven't gotten my hip replacement yet." I roll my eyes.

Danny attaches himself to Ana's leg. "You're all wet little buddy. Why don't you let Daddy dry you off?

"No." He says shaking his head.

"Why not? You wouldn't want to make daddy cry now would you?"

He looks over at me and I give him my best pouting face.

Danny just giggles at me, letting go of Ana's leg and running towards Phoebe's room.

I've raised a streaker.

Daniel is now 5 years old… First day of School August 2033

Danny is standing in the living room with his little blue backpack and lunchbox, giddy about his first day of school. Teddy and Phoebe have already left for college. Teddy is in his final year at Harvard. When he gets back I will be training him to take over GEH. Phoebe is at Stanford, starting her second year.

As I look over at Danny, as Ana takes a million pictures of him, I look back on Teddy and Phoebe's first day.

Teddy's first day… 2017

"Daddy, I don't want to go to school. Can't I just go to work with you." Teddy moans.

"No, according to your mother school is important." A hand comes a slaps me on the chest. I look over at Ana and grin. She's throwing daggers at me for throwing the blame on her.

"And it's the law!"

"The law? So if I don't go I'll be arrested?" His eyes grow big.

"You could say that."

"Christian! Cut it out!"

"No Teddy you won't go to jail. But, school is important. Plus, you'll get to meet a whole bunch of other kids your age and make new friends." Ana tells him. "It'll be fun."

"You promise?" He looks at his mom with worried eyes.

"I promise."

"Can I have cookies and milk when I come home?" He bats his eyes at us.

"Sure." Ana kisses his forehead.

"Hey, why don't I ever get cookies and milk after work?" I ask after Teddy is out the door. O'Ryan will be taking Teddy to school and standing watch.

I was nervous about the idea of Teddy starting school. Considering who we are, it's hard to find people you can trust. And since Ana wouldn't let me homeschool them, well, after extensive search and background checks. Teddy attends McDavis Prep.

Ana puts her arm around me. "I think I give you cookies and milk… Just a different kind…" She smirks at me.

"Can I get some of that now?" I wiggle my eyebrows at her, putting my arms around her waist.

"Mommy!" Phoebe comes toddling into the room.

"Maybe nap time…" She kisses my cheek and goes to pick up Phoebe.

3pm Teddy comes home and throws his backpack on the ground, running his hands through his hair like I do after a hard day.

"I'm never going back." He declares.

"What happened?"

"Sarah Miller kissed my cheek" His face is one of disgust. "Then she went around and told everyone I had cooties. She's the one with the cooties."

"She just likes you little man."

He crosses his arms and gives me a stern look. "I don't care. I'm not going back. You can hire me." He stomps his little foot.

"But you need a degree to come and work for me."

"I'm your son! You have to hire me."

"Not without your degree."

"Grandpa says you didn't get yours." He raises his eyebrow at me.

"I got my high school degree."

"So after high school you'll hire me?"

"Yes, so 12 more years."

"12? I did NOT sign up for this…."

"How about some milk and cookies?" I ask to distract him.

It's safe to say that he went back to school the next day, even if we did have to drag him out of his bed to do so. Who would've thought a 5 year old could have such strength?

His second day went well, I think in first grade Sarah Miller was his 'girlfriend' at least for a week. And now this year he'll be graduating from Harvard.

Then there was Phoebe's first day. Unlike Teddy she was excited about the first day. Ava was in her class, so that helped with the excitement. Those two are tied at the hip.

It's a good thing the school makes the kids where uniforms because she would've gone in her pink tu-tu. And trust me she tried.

"Can't I wear it over my uniform?"

"No, Phe you can't." I tell her.

"Why not? It makes me look beautiful." She tells me as she twirls around with her bright pink tutu over her navy blue skirt.

"It does, but you have to follow the uniform policy and well pink tutus aren't on it." I tell her.

"But, you can make them change their minds can't you daddy? Isn't that what you do? Maybe you could buy the school."

"I can't buy the school Phoebe." I mean I could, I think, but I'm not going to.

"Why not, Tommy McDorman said you bought his daddy's company and made it all better again. You can do that will the school and make it super awesome. We can put in a petting zoo, or moon bounces…."

"Phe, that's not going to happen. Sorry."

And here comes the pout.

"Phoebe Grace!" Ana comes into the room, leaning on the door frame. "We've talked about this."

"You in trouble…." Teddy peeks his head in on Ana's side.

"Theodore… Go…" Ana tells him sternly.

He huffs and leaves the room.

"Sorry mommy. I just really want to wear my tutu. I'm going to be a ballerina when I grow up."

"I thought you were coming to work with me."

"Uh-uh. Ballerina…you're always yelling at people. I don't want to do that. I wanna make people happy. So I'm going to dance." She starts dancing around the room.

"She has you there, Grey." Ana pipes in, smirking at me. "Phe, you can wear it when you get home. If you take it to school, it will get dirty. You don't want that do you?"

"No, mommy." She shakes her head and finally slips the tutu off.

Really? That's all I had to say to her?

Now that little girl who wanted to be a ballerina, now wants to be a lawyer. The girl does know how to put of a good argument. My dad was happy as punch when she told him what she wanted to be.

Now here stands Danny, all ready for school.

"I'm ready Daddy." He tells me grabbing my hand and pulling me out the door. Ana follows outside, clicking away.

"Are you going to be on your best behavior?" I ask him.

"Yes, daddy. I promise I won't get into any trouble." He grins.

I worry about this one going to school. He's smart as a whip. But he's still our little troublemaker.

When he was at preschool, he glued his hands together, tried to die the school bunny pink, and put a worm done of his classmates pants. So hopefully he can make it through the day without the school calling.

Fingers crossed.

We make it out to the driveway where Randy will be taking him to school and watching over.

"If I'm good, I get milk and cookies right? Teddy and Phoebe said they did on their first days."

"Yes, buddy. Just listen to your teacher and have fun."

"I will. I like school. You think they'll have reading time?" He asks. Danny loves to read and can already read at a 3rd grade level. I have a feeling he will be following in his mom's footsteps.

"I'm sure they do."

"YAY." He cheers. "Bye daddy, Bye mommy." He gives us both hugs and I make sure he buckled up in his seat.

"Bye buddy. See you soon."

I close the door and we wave to him while he goes down the driveway.

When he's out of sight I grab my wife around her hips, picking her up.

"I'm ready for my milk and cookies…" I wink at her, causing her to giggle.

Might as well take advantage of an empty house.

"Anything you want, sir."

And with that we run back into the house and enjoy the peace and quiet.
