A/N: This has been sitting in my computer for a couple months. Thought I'd pull it out and post it. Hope that you enjoy. There aren't really any spoilers. I take a few things from episodes that I like. Leave on the episodes that I don't. Like LOVE RUNS COLD. Who in their right minds stands Danny up? He is just...ugh GORGEOUS. Ok now I'm getting completly off topic. Please read and review and tell me what you think. So now Once Upon a Time...
Surprise: LINDSAY: Lindsay Monroe-Messer sighed as she headed down the New York street. Her phone rang and Your Man by Josh Turner blared through the speakers. She smiled and hit accept. "Hey honey."
"Lindsay. Where are you?"
"On the corner of 86th. Why?"
"We got a DB on 62nd."
"I'm on my way."
"Just wait at the Starbucks a few blocks over. I'll pick you up there."
"I'll pick you up some coffee."
"You're a doll. Love you baby girl."
"Love you too." Lindsay headed into the Starbucks.
"Hello, how can I help you?"
"Hi, I need a grande black coffee with only sugar in it. Also a grande hot chocolate."
"Coming right up. That's 10.44." Lindsay paid and by the time the drinks were ready Danny had pulled up out front.
"Hey baby." Danny kissed her head.
"Hey. Here you go." Lindsay passed Danny his drink.
"Thanks Montana." They drove to the location and Flack was waiting outside.
"What? No coffee for me?" Flack teased.
"My husband picked me up, he gets the coffee."
"What's with the sour face when we pulled up? Hate us that much." Danny teased
"You maybe, Lindsay never. My wife just informed me that I have to go furniture shopping with her after shift. Like I won't be tired enough." Don muttered. Danny laughed.
"Ha, ha, ha. You are so whipped."
"Say's the man who's been married for a year and a half and jumps when his wife says ouch."
"Watch it newlywed." Danny said. Don and Jess were had only gotten married a little over eight months ago. "Besides that's concern not being whipped."
"What are they fighting over now?" Stella Boneasera-Taylor asked arriving at the scene.
"I don't know. I'm the only one actually working while the girls over there bicker." Lindsay snapped another picture. Stella was the newest newlywed of the group. It has only been four months since the wedding between the Greek goddess, Stella Boneasera and the ex-marine turned crime fighter, Mac Taylor. After a long shift, and with still more to go, Lindsay rested her head on her arms.
"Tired baby?"
"Mmmhmm. First, it was the wife, then the daughter, then back to the wife and finally the driver. All because he was sick of working for him."
"Go home and get some sleep. You look exhausted."
"But I still have two hours left."
"I got you covered."
"No Danny. You've been here longer."
"And you're my wife. It is my privilege and duty to take care of you. Now go and enjoy your half a snow day."
"Don't say that. The last time you said that your were taken hostage and beaten."
"Sorry. Go home and enjoy the rest of the day." He kissed her head.
"Ok." Danny watched Lindsay until she was out of sight. He shook his head and sat down at his desk to get started on some paperwork.
"Babe I'm home." Danny yelled two hours later as he entered their apartment. He got a full blast of a sweet smell. "Mmm smells good in here."
"Thank you. On the way home, I decided to stop by the grocery store. I wanted to bake." She kissed his cheek in greeting. "You showered before coming home?"
"Yeah. Some lab tech dropped Hawkes victim's stomach contents on me. I figured you would yell if I came home smelling."
"Your right I would." Lindsay pushed him against the pool table. "You know I was thinking. This pool table has gotten neglected the past few weeks." Danny lifted her up onto it.
"Let's change that." Danny kissed her neck. "Mrs. Messer you know I love you in my clothes. But right now they would look even better on the floor." Lindsay leaned back, resting her hands behind on the pool table. Opening herself up to him. He unbuttoned the shirt, kissing each bit of skin that was reveled to him. When he peeled, the shirt off it left her in only her panties. "How did I not notice this before?'
"You were preoccupied thinking with your stomach." Danny climbed on the table and Lindsay flipped them over were she was on top. "You're in for one wild ride baby." The couple was awoke from their sleep an hour later when the timer yelled. "Danny, go grab those buns."
"Let 'em burn." Danny pulled her closed.
"Please…for me?" She gave him the boo-boo lip and puppy dog eyes.
"Fine, I'm going by only because I love you and I can't resist that look you're giving me." Danny got off the pool table and went into the kitchen. He turned off the timer and went to turn off the oven. "Montana!"
"Yeah?"
"You forgot to turn on the oven."
"Oh, my bad. Just take out the buns and stick them in the freezer."
"Alright." Danny opened the oven. In the center was an unbaked bun with a card sticking out of it. Danny pulled it out and read the card.
Daddy,
I won't be ready for another seven months. So please wait patiently while I bake in mommy's belly
Love, Your future son or daughter

STELLA: Stella Boneasera-Taylor looked up from her desk as her husband headed down the hallway. She began making a list of things that she would need tonight. "Stel?"
"Yeah Mac?"
"Danny and Lindsay are heading to DB on 62nd street. Think you can give them a hand?"
"Sure." Stella collected her things.
"Hey." Mac caught her arm as she went by. "Be careful."
"Same goes for you." Stella said wrapping her arms around his neck. She gave him a quick kiss before heading down the hallway. Much later Lindsay and Stella was looking over evidence. "So did you tell him yet?"
"No. I'm too scared too. You?"
"Same."
"Get anything?" Danny asked
"Not yet. What about Sid?"
"Just confirmed the fact that he's been dead for about three hours and the official COD is a gun shot wound to the back of the head." Danny said, "I'm going to head back to his guys apartment see if I can kind anything else. Call me when you get something." Danny left the trace lab, leaving the two girls to themselves.
"I think I'm going to tell him tonight." Both girls said at the same time then busted out laughing. After the case was solved, Stella retired to her office to catch up on some paper work.
"Hey Stel."
"Hey Lindsay."
"I'm going to head off."
"Don't you have two hours left?"
"Yeah but Danny's gonna cover for me. Said something about it being a privilege and a duty of being the husband. Which is a good thing because now I have time to get ready for tonight?"
"Good luck."
"Thanks. You too." Lindsay said. As she turned to leave, she bumped into Mac. "Oh hey Mac. Bye Stella." Lindsay headed off towards the elevators.
"What did you two need good luck for?'
"Nothing, it was just girl talk."
"Where was Linds going?"
"Danny sent her home. She was tired. And specking of tired I think I'm going to head home now too. Are you playing tonight?"
"For a little bit."
"Okay. Then I'll see you at home later." Mac watched Stella until she was safely in the elevator. After his shift he headed to Cozy's.
"Hey Mac."
"Hey Dean. I'm going to be leaving a little early tonight."
"Problems with the Mrs."
"Something like that." Mac played and left earlier then normal. He unlocked and walked into the apartment he shared with his wife. "Stella?"
"Bedroom." He came to rest on the doorframe that led into their bedroom. "Your home early."
"I was worried about you."
"Why?"
"You just seem different. Your more hormonal. You cried when you burnt dinner."
Stella's face flushed. "I did not cried. I had something in my eye."
"You've always been bad at lying. What are you hiding."
"Nothing."
"Stella…"
"Close your eyes."
"What?"
"Just do it." Mac closed eyes. Stella grabbed the card and plastic stick. Thrusting both into his hands.
"Stell…" Mac looked at the card. It had a baby wrapped in a blanket. On the inside was:
Congratulations Daddy

JESSICA: Jessica Angell-Flack smiled as she sat her phone down. She had just informed her husband that they were going shopping. "Donnie open up!" Jess heard accompanied by a pounding on the door.
Jess made her way to the door. "What are you doing here Sam?"
Samantha Flack stood outside the apartment. "I need to talk to Don."
"He's at work."
"Did he tell you to say that? You're his wife. You would lie for him."
"Sam, he's not here."
"I can wait."
"I was on my way out."
"I'll just wait out here."
"Why don't you go home and sleep off the alcohol."
"I'm not drunk."
"I'll tell you stopped by."
"Let him know I'm looking for him."
"Will do." Jess watched Sam leave before closing the door. She snatched her phone up again.
"Miss me already?"
"Umm…your sister stopped by."
"What? Did she say what she wanted?"
"No. Only that she wanted to talk to you."
"I'll fish her out of a bar later." Don sighed. "I bet she needs money. My father cut her off."
"Maybe she's ready to get cleaned up."
"Not likely but thank you."
"What time are you getting done?"
"I get off in a couple hours. Why?"
"I was thinking that we could just meet up at the store and then go get dinner."
"Sounds good." Don said. The married couple hung up. Don texted Jess later when he was getting ready to leave. Jess was waiting outside the store when Don approached. "Jess!" When he was close enough Jess kissed him.
"Hey baby. How was your day?"
"Tiring." Don said. He put his arm around her shoulder, directing her into the store.
"So I was thinking all wood, maybe, in the living room. Since the floors are chestnut."
"Whatever you like." Flack stopped to look at something and when he turned around, Jess wasn't there anymore. "Where in the hell did that woman go?"
"Your wife?" Flack turned to see a older woman. "Dark hair, dark eyes."
"Yeah that would be her."
"She headed in that direction." The woman pointed.
"Thank you."
"Congratulations."
"Thanks." Don shook his head. He started to think the old woman pointed him in the wrong direction when he saw the baby items. He saw Jess at the end of the aisle. "Hey baby, I think we're in the wrong section."
"No. We're going to be needing one of these in a few months."
