This is my first fanfic and I've had this idea for a while. Hope you enjoy! :)

I don't own CSI: NY but I can dream...

Hope you enjoy and please please tell me what you think. Constructive critcism and nice comments are welcome! There is no such thing as a comment that is too nice but please don't be too mean if you don't like it.

This is set before Danny and Lindsay sleep together but there's still DL so obviously Lucy isn't born yet. But she will make an appearance later in the story. :)

Flashbacks are in italics.

Chapter One

His legs ached from running but he couldn't stop now. He couldn't give up. The sun was rising slowly over Staten Island but this was ignored by the young man, as were the stains of blood soaking his originally white shirt and dripping from his long fingers. He only had one thing on his mind: her.


He ran up the familiar path, rang the familiar doorbell, listened for a familiar shout: "I'll get it!" The man panted heavily, trying to let a breath in while trying to keep his emotions from rushing out.

The door flung open and a familiar voice screamed:

" MEESSER! Do you know what time it is? Where have you been? Where's my sister?"

The woman looked down at his shirt and his red hand

"OH MY GOD!!! What happ... WHERE'S MY SISTER? "

"Tessa, I..." He started but his throat felt like it was closing. He was unable to stop the tears from falling. He looked straight into Tessa's bright blue eyes as they became filled with tears. She shook her head in despair and they embraced where they stood.

This was the first time Tessa Minelli and Danny Messer would ever cry in front of each other. But it wouldn't be the last...


I hope you enjoyed it. I know it was short but Part 2 will be up soon and will be longer. :) PLEASE R&R and give me any advice! x
