WHAT HOT CHOCOLATE CAN BRING
Lindsay "Montana" Monroe was spending Christmas in a way she did not expect in the least. Sitting on the fire escape, drinking some hot chocolate from the coffee shop on the first floor of the apartment building, thinking about her life.
Her first couple of months at the NYC Crime Lab were much different from that of Bozeman. She had known everyone in Montana, so work was basically like going to school. Everyone there was her friend, but nothing more.
Here in New York however, everyone was family. She had figured all the roles out after a month of working there. Mac fit the father figure just right, with his protective yet encouraging way. Stella was just like a sister/best friend/mother all rolled into one, and Lindsay could turn to her if she needed help, a pep talk, or just to laugh. Flack Adam and Hawkes were her brothers, never afraid to tell her if she looked like crap, but were always there if she needed to get brought back down to Earth. And Danny…Lindsay took a sip of her hot chocolate. Danny was unable to be labeled. Sometimes he could be an annoying older brother, sometimes he would remind her of her best guy friend, and sometimes he would just be a flirt.
There was a bond that held them together. Maybe it was the fact that they were all thrown together into the melting pot of the city but whatever it was it worked. Mac and Flack going through the bomb, Stella being attacked by Frankie, Danny almost losing Louie, and Hawkes being framed, nothing seemed to tear them apart.
But somehow the last year had been taking a toll. Angel had gotten added to the team, the dirty cop had put the whole lab through hell trying to reprove their integrity, and some of the weirdest cases seemed to really slightly push them farther than ever.
And to top the whole thing off, there was her two years with Danny. Lindsay smiled a small smile. Her trip with Danny had certainly been a long and hard one. Between the first day at the zoo when she had met the insufferable jackass to telling him she actually knew something about football. From the bug "date" to Sid explaining Danny had a crush on her, they had spent the past two years, teasing, taunting and flirting with each other.
Then she went undercover, and that sure as hell screwed everything up. He had tried to convince her not too, but she would have none of it. She went in, had a gun thrust in her face, and the next thing she knew she was in Danny's arms.
The next day he had asked her out. Lindsay had, of course, said yes. It was Danny Messer, for Christ's sake. That night just as she was about to walk out the door the phone had rung. She had just picked up to hear her lawyer friend Dylan say "Linds we got him," and she knew that she couldn't go on the date that night.
After the ice princess case, Danny had confronted her about how he felt about her. She wanted to tell him all of it, everything, but she just couldn't do it. It was too raw, too real. So she used the old, "It's not you, it's me," and continued on. The rest of the time up until she left was very awkward around Danny. They avoided each other's eyes, speaking to their shoes when they talked.
The day she left, he was out in the field. She knew she couldn't call him. She didn't want to have to explain, so she left him a card and went on her way.
She never in a million years expected him to be at the courtroom, but there he was, looking like complete crap from lack of sleep, flying halfway across the country to see and be with her.
Right after the case was done, she offered him a ride to her family's ranch, where he met her parents and her two older brothers. Late that night she had walked into the kitchen to find him sitting there, looking out the big picture window at a field of wheat.
"Do you see what I mean?" she had asked him.
"I still say its just wheat." He had replied in his typical accent. She had just smiled and shook her head.
"Do you want some hot chocolate?" she asked as she made herself a mug.
"Anything from Montana's gotta be good." He turned away from the window to offer her his patented Messer grin. They spent 5 hours drinking the hot chocolate and talking, about the cases, the team, and most of all them. For her and him it seemed to fly by, seeing as they hadn't had a civil conversation in months.
Returning back to the city seemed to fit like a glove. They began to flirt again, and everyone in the lab seemed to take notice of the changes that were happening. Mac and Stella exchanged glances anytime they were in a room together, and Flack pasted a grin on his mouth that went on forever.
One night Danny had invited her to play pool. He had asked, no, begged her not to stand him up. She kept to her word, and through tequila, a bet, and an excellent shot her brothers' taught her, Lindsay got way more than she had bargained for. That's why she felt so guilty after what happened with the coke dealer, but he kept reassuring her, telling her that if she would have been the one to go in, he would have practically killed himself getting in to save her.
After they had been dating a 2 weeks, they broke it to the team, who each handed over ten dollars to Adam.
After 3 months of dating, he introduced her to his family, all of which were glad to see that "Daniel was finally developing a soft side."
A month after that, he asked her to move in with him and his dog Joe. She had agreed, saying only if she could keep her dog Jeter. He couldn't help but laugh as the two dogs got along.
One month later, he had proposed to her after going to her home in Montana the night before to get her dad's permission. She couldn't help but say yes.
They were married within the end of the year. Stella, Angel, Peyton, were her bridesmaids; Flack, Hawkes, Adam and Mac were his groomsmen. She became Lindsay "Montana" Messer on September 27, 2007.
Now she was living in his apartment, with their two dogs. Her hot chocolate had gone cold beside her.
"Penny for your thoughts?" he said, surprising her.
She smiled. "Just thinking."
"Dangerous stuff." He replied, handing her a homemade cup of coffee. She received it gratefully and took a sip. Her eyes widened.
"This is my recipe from Montana." She grinned.
"Yep, because when you first gave some to me, I made an important decision in my life."
"And what was that?"
"That I was going to marry you."
