a/n: Over the past three days, I've written more fan fiction than was probably healthy. And with this drabble, I put this binge to rest. (Aka, I have school tomorrow.) This was fun while it lasted :) Don't be suprised if it's a few days before you hear from me again. Don't be suprised if I update tomorrow. Just don't expect the mass of Densi I've been producing.

Also the Max thing has gotten huge! But hey, prompts are prompts, and they're so fun. Max is a doll.

Maxwell Deeks is one very happy four year old.

His life is dogs. He loves Monty. He loves when Monty licks him, especially on his cheek. His Mom however doesn't enjoy it so much. In fact, when she catches it, she sends his favorite pup to the backyard. But he loves dogs. Dogs on TV, dogs in the neighborhood, stuffed animal dogs, dogs that his Daddy showed him at his work.

Besides dogs, he loves superheros. Cartoons are his favorites on an early Saturday morning. After cartoons, he tries to help Daddy make breakfast, but he's too little. Usually he gets to drop the chocolate chips in his pancakes, but he can't get his hand too close to the skillet, because his Daddy warned him that it's very hot.

He loves to run around outside and play. He's got a little red wagon and tricycle. The little boy next door has a Nerf gun, but Daddy was hesitant about letting him play with it. Mommy said that when he turns five, she'll teach him how to shoot one. Until then, he blows bubbles and chases them around the yard with Monty. He can't wait to be five.

He learned that there's a baby growing in his Mommy's tummy. It makes him happy, because he loves his little friend Sammy, his Aunt Nell and Uncle Eric's daughter. He's sad though, because his little brother or sister will be too little to play with her for a few years. He's glad that Sammy is three. He can still play with her while his little sibling is growing.

Maxwell was standing in line to be picked up from pre-k on this special day at noon. He loved school, but he loved being at home more. He was excited to see his Grandma Julia's car, but his Daddy promised him that he'd pick him up today.

His teacher walked him to the car. Grandma Julia hopped out to help him with his seat.

"Grandma, why didn't Daddy pick me up today?"

She smiled, "Daddy had to go to the hospital with Mommy."

Hospital? Oh no! He knew what the hospital was. His Daddy had been taken there when he was three. He was really sick, his Mommy had said. He had a big bandaid and the doctors had to make him fall asleep for a while so they could try to help fix him. Max didn't understand it all, but he remembered that it was scary. He was worried about his Daddy a lot that day.

"Hospital!" Max declared, fear evident in his little voice.

"Didn't Mommy and Daddy talk to you about how when Mommy had the baby, she'd have to go to the hospital?"

Oh, yes! He remembered that talk! That meant the baby was coming!

"The baby is coming today!?" he said happily. His grandma smiled. And confirmed. Today was the day he would become a big brother!

It was a long day at the hospital. He didn't get to see his Mommy or Daddy too much; Daddy said that Mommy needed his hugs and love before he left. He gave his Mom a big kiss on the lips before he left the room with his Grandma.

He was so excited, he couldn't stand it! Aunt Nell and Uncle Eric brought Sammy to play with him. It made the wait less unbearable!

His Daddy kept coming out to tell him that Mommy was okay and that the baby would be here soon. He and Sammy got tired of playing, and Aunt Nell read them a book. He didn't notice his Grandma Julia slip away with his Daddy.

Finally, after a very long time of waiting, his Daddy came out with a really big smile on his face.

"Maxwell, ready?"

He ran over to his Daddy, wrapping his little hand around his father's. He could feel his excitement bubble up inside of him.

His Dad picked him up as they got to the door. "You remember everything we talked about?"

"Yep. Mommy is really tired, and the baby is really small. I have to be gentle and kind of quiet."

"Good. That's my little man, high five," he said. They high fived, and he pushed open the door.

He looked at the little baby in his Mommy's arms.

"Hi, Max," his Mommy said. "Come, sit by me." His father put him down and he ran over to his Mommy's side and climbed up easily.

"This is your sister, Callie." He giggled and smiled.

"What do you think, Max?" his Dad asked.

He stared at his baby sister. "I love her. She's cute! "

Both his Mom and Dad giggled.

"Can I touch her?" he asked, looking up at his Mommy.

"Of course," she agreed.

He pressed finger softly to the top of her nose and then giggled.

He turned his head up to give his Mommy a kiss. He then gave on to little Callie and grinned.

"Hey, what about me?" his father demanded.

He reached up for his Dad, who stood behind him. He gave him a long hug.

Maxwell Deeks loved his family.
