Messer's Montana


"Hey Lucy! Com'on let's get you change to see MOM-MEEE" Danny carried his daughter to her room to change her. The little 11 month old baby chuckled and babble with glee as Danny pretended to drop her.

"A'right," he put her in her crib and she pulled the sides to stand as he took two dresses from her little wardrobe. Holding the two up to show his daughter, "You want to wear the pink like MOM-MEEE did when she came to the zoo from Montana or the green like her dress?"

"Mmmmm" Lucy pursed her little lips smiled.

"Yes Lucy, say Mmmmommm-meeeeee" Danny coaxed the little girl.

"Mmmmm.ooooomm" the little one followed.

"Yeah! That's my girl!' he put the green dress back into the wardrobe and carried the pink to put it on Lucy, Lucy started pulling the dress that has a small cow on the pocket. "MMmmmm".

"Yes Munchkin, that's a cow like the one in MOM-Meee's home in Montana. You comfy? A'right.. Daddy's pwetty little girl....hey...hang on there...." his cell phone rang and he answered after checking the IDcaller.

"Hey Montana!....Yeah...we gonna be out soon.... Breakroom?... ok....You finish?...About that time...yeah....I've been teaching her to say MOM-MEEE all day.....I know, I know none of that "B" word.......I love you too MOntana....Right Babe, see ya soon.....say bye MOM-MEEE" and Lucy giggled her "Mmmmmt"

He was carrying her out to the door to collected his keys and Lucy's bag when she reached out to grab a picture frame off the wall. Danny's quick reflex saved the glass frame from crashing to the floor.

"Whoa! Careful there Lucy," he hang it back before taking her little hand to place a kiss on her little fingers. Lucy again tried to reached out for the frame, emiting "Mmmmmmtt" from her lips.

"That's right sweetie. That's MOM-Meee in Montana. See her horse? Big horsie. Daddy scared of that horsie. But Shhhh. Our little secret ok?" and he gentle knocked a knuckled finger against her small knuckles. She giggled and said "MMmmtttn"

"Right Kiddo, lets go meet MOM-MEE". Lucy rested her head on his shoulder and mumbled "Mmmmmmttnn".

"You miss her too, sweetheart? Yeah Daddy miss his Montana too"

***************

"LUCY!!!!" Stella squeeled the minute Danny exited the lift into the crime lab and took Lucy off his hands "How's my little girl?"

In response Lucy giggled and grab a handful of Stella's hair and tried to push it into her mouth. Mac came from behind her and stopped the little girl's action. She only gripped harder and frown, emitting an "Ouch" from Stella. Mac tickled her and she finally let go of Stella's hair.

"Thank you Lucy" Mac placed a kiss on her forehead. With Stella holding Lucy with both her hands, Mac gently pushed the lock of hair that was in front of her face, behind her ear. Stella blushed and to hide it, she buried her face into Lucy's neck and blew raspberries that coz the little one to chuckle and squirm.

Mac would have stayed but his phone rang and he gave Lucy's hair a ruffle before excusing himself.

"Sorry Stella. Now you know why Lindsay keeps her hair short" Danny offered. He then made to reach for Lucy but Stella refuse to give the little girl up to her Daddy. She pretend to squeeze the baby and earned another burst of giggles. "MMMmmmmmtttnn"

"Mmmmmttnn? What's that Lucy?" she looked into the baby's blue eyes.

"I've been teaching her to say Mommy all day. I think she's getting there." He tapped his daughter's diapered bottom, "Right Kiddo?"

"Mmmmmmttnn!"

"Well at least its not "Bo.."

"Shhh. Don't say that. Lindsay don't wanna that be Lucy's first word or she'll make me go hunting with her Dad in Montana"

Stella laugh, "So you've been getting her to say Mommy. Awww, that's so sweet of Daddy, isn't it Lucy?"

"Mmmmttnn"

"Sweet? Yeah, yeah, Just don't spread it down at the precinct or Flack will never leave me alone."

Lindsay came round the corner and saw the little group. She pulled Danny's shirt from behind to get his attention. He immediately wrapped his arm around her waist for a quick half hug.

"Danny" she pressed a kiss to his shoulder.

"You ready to go Montana?" placing a quick kiss on her temple.

"Yeah" she smiled and turn to Stella who was still making Lucy giggle and laugh, her chubby legs kicking. Stella then turned to let Lucy see had joined them. The baby's eyes lighted up and she raised and reached her arms for Lindsay. "Who is that Lucy?" Stella prompt the baby.

"MMmmmttnnnaaaa!"

The three adults froze. Blinking, Lindsay reached for her baby, "Lucy?"

"MMmmmmmtttnnnaaaaaaa!!!"

"Did she just called me Montana?" turning towards Danny. Stella started laughing.

"MOM-MEEE" Danny coaxed his baby girl.

"Mmmmmmmmtttnnaaaaaaah!"

"Danny?!?!!"

"Come sweetie, don't get Daddy in trouble" he pleaded his daughter.

"Mmmmmmttttnnaaaaahh" she squealed louder and bounce on Stella arms.

At that Danny peeked at his wife and offered, "Well at least her first word ain't "Boom"!"

"Oooommmm!!"

"Lucy!!! Give your old man a break will ya?!?!?"

"Ooommmmm!!!"

"Oh you are so in trouble Danny Messer!"


THE END

I was trying to lay low from DaLinds, so I watched Flack & Angell videos. Then I clicked wrongly and it showed Angell dying. To get over that I switched back to DaLinds...hence the ff above.

Now I'm thinking if the show will ever show Lindsay giving Danny a backrub to soothe his back pain. OOh-la-la!!!
