Cravings

"You know that's not what I had in mind when you said we should take baby steps." Danny said securing his arm against Lindsay's naked waist, holding her close.

"I also told you my OB said to pay attention to my cravings no matter how inconvenient they are." Lindsay smirked. She had come over well into the night, unable to fall asleep at her place. She was going restless and needed Danny to take care of her. After all, he was partially responsible for the state she was in.

"I'm at your beck and call, babe, 25 hours a day, 8 days a week." He promised her dropping a kiss on her forehead while she giggled.

"I'll keep that in mind." She answered sleepily, her eyes beginning to close of their own accord.

Before allowing sleep to also take over him, Danny made sure the alarm was set and turned to the picture that was now sitting on his bedside table. The image was just a blur really, you'd have to know what it represented to notice anything.

There was still a lot they needed to talk about and settle but as long as she was letting him be by her side, he was willing to forget his slightly wounded pride. He had been raised right and his mother had taught him that you marry the girl you get pregnant, period. He didn't care if it was the 21st century, that what's he believed was the right thing to do. She had valid reasons to say no, of course and he actually knew that a baby didn't solely make a successful marriage. Still her walking away from his impromptu proposal had hurt him, leaving him to wonder. His mind had raced all day, coming up with unbelievably ridiculous ideas as to why she wouldn't marry him. Their talk before going into Mac's office had settled most of his fears, yet he hadn't expecting her to show up at his place in the middle of the night. But she was there, now, in his arms, in his bed, in his life and this baby they had created together was bringing them their forever. It might not be easy, they might not make it but he wouldn't give up without a fight.

Danny trained his eyes one last time from the picture of their baby to Lindsay before he fell asleep, still clutching the picture.
