Disclaimer: I don't own CSI: NY or anything that you recognize, I do own Cayetano, TayeLynn, McKella, Raye, Giovanni, Matteo and of course Arabella and any other characters you don't recognize, please ask before using. I also own an autograph picture of AJ Buckley! I also don't own 'I'd Come for You by Nickelback' either! Great song though!

A knock on the door sounded through the Messer apartment at exactly 6:50 p.m. Detective Danny Messer got up from the couch in the living room and went to answer it.

Standing in the doorway was a teenager who looked to be about 16 or 17 years old. He ushered the boy inside and told him to go into the living room.

The teenager stopped short at the sight that greeted him; 4 NYPD Detectives were sitting on the couch all with their shields and guns resting on their hips. There were also two identical boys sitting on the floor.

Danny cleared his throat and spoke, "What's your full name, son?"

The teenager finally spoke, "Cayetano Antonio Ramos."

Danny nodded, "Nickname?"

"Most people just call me Ty."

Danny nodded again, "Got a job?"

"I work after school at the bodega on 12th and Brooklyn."

"Got a car?"

"No, sir."

Danny gave a small smile; at least that was one less thing he would have to worry about.

Ty looked around the room nervously, each detective had their eyes trained intently on him and the two boys on the floor had gazes that were just as intimidating.

Danny spoke again, "This is Detective Mac Taylor; head of the New York City Crime Lab. Sitting next to him is Homicide Detective Don Flack Jr., the best known detective in this city. Next to him is Dr. Sheldon Hawkes, multiple doctorates and next to him is Detective Adam Ross, leading DNA analyst in the country along with being one of the top field agents. And in case you weren't aware, I'm Danny Messer, Arabella's father. Oh and sitting on the floor are Belle's younger twin brothers, Giovanni and Matteo Messer."

Ty swallowed nervously, "Ni…nice to meet you all."

All 7 nodded in perfect unison before Mac spoke, "Where are you taking my goddaughter?"

"I'm taking her to Carmello's on 23rd and River Street."

Mac nodded, "I've been there, good choice. Do you have any other plans?"

"Going to see a movie after that, I'm going to let her decide which one she'd like to see the most."

Adam spoke up, "She's been dying to see 17 Again, and it'll probably gain you some brownie points if you suggest that."

Danny shot Adam a glare that said, this boy better not be getting any brownie points or any other points from my daughter. Adam just grinned obnoxiously at Danny.

Hawkes spoke up next, "What's your grade point average, Ty?"

"3.971."

"What's your lowest class?"

"College Calculus, I've got an 89%."

Hawkes looked impressed, "What grade are you again?"

"I'm a junior in high school."

"You're 16?"

"No, I'm 17."

Danny's face darkened to a shade of red, "17? You know Belle's only 16, right?"

"Yes, sir, I know. I turned 17 on the 22nd of October and she turns 17 on the 14th of December."

Danny looked impressed that this boy already knew his little girl's birthday, most teenage guys weren't into the details, they just wanted the benefits of the date.

Flack finally spoke, his first time since Ty had arrived, the question that everyone had been avoiding, "What are your intentions for tonight with Arabella?

Ty's eyes widened as all of the detectives leaned forward towards him, awaiting a response.

"My intentions tonight are to show Arabella a good time, have some laughs and get to know each other in a more personal, but not sexual way."

Danny grunted, not entirely satisfied with his answer, so he changed the topic, "You play sports?"

"Yea, I've been the starting pitcher on the baseball team since freshman year. I've also been playing baseball, football and basketball since I was 5."

"Favorite teams?"

"Yankees, Giants and Knicks, I'm a NYC boy."

Flack smiled, "Good man. Yankees are my boys."

Adam laughed, "Yea, your boys, Flack…keep dreaming."

All the others laughed along until Lindsay came into the room. She glared at the men, and turned her attention to Ty.

"It's nice to see you again Cayetano. Ari is almost ready; I just wanted to make sure the boys weren't giving you too hard of a time."

Ty smiled, "It's nice to see you again too, Mrs. Messer, and they've been very…welcoming."

"Please, it's Lindsay and it was nice of you to lie for them. Ari should be down in about 5 minutes or so."

Ty nodded, "Thanks."

Lindsay turned to her husband of 16 years, and leaned in to whisper in his ear, "Be nice or no getting laid for a week."

Danny groaned, "Baby, that's not fair, she's my little girl."

Lindsay giggled, "You decide cowboy, but I've got this brand new outfit I want to try on tonight, and it's not the kind of outfit I can wear out in public."

Danny started to respond, but remembered that there were other people present in the room and he ushered Lindsay back to Belle's room to help her finish getting ready.

After she was gone, everyone in the room stood up, all of them facing Ty.

Danny spoke first, "This is my little girl you are taking on a date and I swear on my life and my badge, if you do anything…and I do mean, anything, to hurt my little girl I will kill you. Do I make myself clear?"

Ty's eyes got big as saucers, but he managed to stutter out, "Y…yes…sir. I understand."

Mac was next in line to lay some sense into the teenager, "I own 12 guns, 4 different types of samurai swords, 3 bow and arrows, all steel capped and I know 7 different kinds of martial arts. I know how to use it all…if anything happens to my princess, I will be right next to Danny, making sure you never see the light of day again. Understood?"

Ty nodded, unable to speak.

Hawkes faced him next, "I'm not a violent man, but I would protect that little girl to my last dying breath. If anything happens to her…you'll be the first man to ever have a live autopsy performed on them."

Ty paled and looked like he was about to pass out.

Adam stepped forward, "I don't have a fancy speech or anything, but I'm saying the same thing as all of these guys…you hurt her…you pay for it."

Flack was the last of the adults to give his piece about protecting his 'niece', "I've got the entire NYPD Police Force at my disposal, and don't ever think I'm afraid to use it. You are getting ready to date the most loved, well-protected girl in this entire city, you better think twice about everything you do to her, with her or for her. We would all lay down our lives for her and you damn well better know that we will do anything to keep her safe. So, as some of the others mentioned before, you hurt her…we hurt you…a hundred times worse."

Ty nodded and tried to speak but was interrupted by Giovanni, "We may not look like a threat to you, but family is the most important thing to us and we will do anything to protect that."

Matteo spoke up next, "We may be younger and smaller, but both of us have black belts in karate thanks to Uncle Mac and we each know how to fire and break down a Glock 18 thanks to Uncle Don and Dad. Don't make us show you either one of those skills."

Ty grinned and nodded, "Thanks gentlemen. I appreciate the forewarning, but I have no intention of ever hurting Arabella."

Danny was about to say something else, but Lindsay breezed into the room and hushed the conversation.

"She's coming you guys, she's coming."

All eyes turned to the doorway as Arabella came through the door, "Daddy! You promised you wouldn't make a big deal about this!"

Danny grinned his famous Messer grin, "Sorry, but you're my baby. You knew this was going to happen."

Arabella nodded, "I did. I love you daddy."

Danny smiled and leaned in to give her a hug, "I love you too baby girl."

Ty spoke up, "It was nice meeting all of you, Mr. Messer, I'll have her home by 10."

Danny nodded, "11 is fine. Be careful."

Arabella's eyes widened, "You're the best daddy! I love you."

"I love you too baby."

Arabella turned to face Flack and Mac, "Tell TayeLynn and McKella that I'll call them as soon as I get home."

Flack and Mac both nodded and promised Arabella that they would tell their daughters to be ready for the phone call.

Arabella turned around and blew a kiss to Danny and Lindsay before walking out the door with her hand intertwined with Ty's.

The door shut and Danny sighed with relief, "I'm so glad that's over and done with."

Lindsay rolled her eyes, "It really wasn't necessary for you to scare the crap out of him you know."

Danny smirked, "I know, but Montana, she's my baby."

Lindsay nodded, "I know, I know, but babe…you practically killed the guy with fear."

Danny popped his collar, "That's just the Messer way."

Giovanni and Matteo cracked up with laughter, "Dad don't ever do that again."

Danny just laughed, "Whatever, you guys have a pretty cool old man."

Matteo nodded, "Whatever it takes to make you sleep at night."

Giovanni nodded in agreement, "G'night Mom and Dad. Good night, Uncle Adam, Uncle Don, Uncle Mac and good night Uncle Shel. Thanks for looking out for Ari."

There was a chorus of good nights from all the men and then the twins disappeared into their bedroom, Lindsay following behind them to make sure that they actually brushed their teeth, not just wetted the toothbrush, as they were prone to do.

Danny turned to face his friends, his family and his support system. "Thanks for coming over guys. It really helped out, I was, and still am a nervous wreck, my baby girl is in the hands of a teenage male. Why the fuck did I ever agree to this?"

Mac laughed, "Hey, don't whine to me, I've got a daughter who just 6 months younger than Ari. Stella has been trying to get me ready for when Kell starts dating, but I swear that she will be 30 before a guy so much as looks at her."

They guys broke out into laughter, and Flack spoke up, "Taye's already asked me to date and I told her that if she asked me again I was locking her in a tower. She didn't like that too much."

They all turned to Adam who's daughter was still only 6 years old, "Hey, Raye still thinks that boys have cooties and I plan on keeping it that way as long as possible."

Hawkes laughed at the way the men were protecting their daughters, "Thank goodness I've only got boys."

Danny laughed as well, "Be grateful, Doc, be very grateful."

The men continued to talk for a couple more minutes until Lindsay came out to the living room. The conversation died down and she smiled at all of the guys, "Thanks for coming over guys, but I'm kicking you out, I'm tired and Danny and I have some business to attend to."

Adam grinned, "You are so getting laid, Messer."

Danny laughed, but wisely kept his mouth shut.

One, by one all of the men got up to leave and soon they were all out the door and Danny got up to deadbolt it behind them, checking to make sure that the chain was locked as well.

He turned around at the sound of Lindsay's voice, "Are you coming cowboy?"

"Be right there, babe."

Danny made a quick stop in the hallway, pausing to admire the pictures of Arabella as a baby.

"When did you grow up, baby?" he voiced his question quietly to himself.

As if receiving an answer, his phone began to vibrate in his pocket and softly play the song, 'I'd Come for You'; he pulled it out and flipped it open. On the screen there was a picture of Arabella and a new text message,

Daddy, I love you so much.
You'll always me the #1 man in my heart.
xoxo Your Baby Girl, Ari

Danny hit reply:

You'll always be my #1 girl,
but don't tell your mother.
I love you too, baby.
Love, Daddy.

Danny snapped the phone shut and slid it back into his pocket. He flipped off the light in the hallway and walked towards his bedroom. Lindsay was laying on the bed in one of his NYPD shirts and she smiled as she saw her husband appear.

"You okay, baby?"

Danny smiled and then nodded, "I am now."

So, this was just a random thought that popped into my head and the muse wouldn't let me forget it. I hope you guys liked it and I'm sorry about the ending, it kinda sucked. Please leave a review and let me know what you think! Oh and shameless self-promoting…go check out A Precious Gemstone, my other baby… Thanks y'all!
