Danny and Lindsay walked out the front doors of the crime lab hand-in-hand. Lindsay inhaled deeply and then let out a sigh of relief. She felt as if she were 30 pounds lighter since walking into Mac's office twenty minutes earlier. Danny glanced down at her, the corners of his mouth twitching. "You okay, Montana?"

Lindsay smiled up at him. "Yeah, I'm fine – much better now, actually. It's such a relief to have told Mac about me being pregnant. I wasn't sure how he would react, you know?"

His eyebrows furrowing, Danny questioned her softly. "Why? What'd you think he was gonna say?"

Lindsay's smile faltered slightly. "I don't know, really. I guess I was just worried that he would think maybe we messed things up – you know, by the two of us having a relationship. Like maybe he wouldn't want us working together anymore. Or maybe he wouldn't think I could keep doing my job."

Danny had stopped walking and so Lindsay had as well, since he was still holding her hand in his. "Linds, you know Mac's more fair than that. He hand-picked you to work for him – and for good reason, too! Besides, we make a great team! Mac sees that, and so does everybody else, I think. They'll all be happy for us."

The sweet smile that he loved so much graced her delicate face again. "You, Danny Messer, are getting really good at knowing just what to say to make me feel better. I might just decide to keep you around a while!"

Danny grinned down at her. "You said it earlier, Linds. I'm not goin' anywhere – and neither are you." He took a step closer to her, their eyes still locked. Lindsay didn't back away as he half-expected her to. Instead, her gaze flickered down to his mouth and back up to his eyes. It was all the invitation Danny needed and his mouth began to descend toward hers slowly.

His lips were soft and warm, the kiss almost hesitant. After the last few weeks, he wasn't sure what to expect from her. When she immediately opened to him, Danny's heart skipped a staccato beat within his chest. Good Lord, but he did love kissing this woman! He felt her hand come up between them to fist tightly in his shirt and he pulled her closer, flush up against him.

When the need for oxygen finally forced them apart, they stood on the sidewalk, Lindsay's forehead resting against his chest as they both gulped for air. Danny's breath clouded in front of him and he realized how cold it was, now that darkness had fallen. "It's gettin' cold out here, Montana. What say we find a warm booth somewhere and get somethin' to eat?"

Lindsay leaned her head back and looked up at him with a smile. "What say we pick up something quick and take it back to your place to eat instead?"
