A/N: I did do research, but I still don't know what it's like to have a c-section, or any labor procedure, so forgive me if I am off on the details.

"Dan, we need to go to the hospital." Flack said as he ran into the break room and grabbed Danny's arm yanking him towards the elevator.

"What the fuck Flack? Why do we need to go to the hospital?" Danny barked as he and Flack stepped onto the elevator.

"Lindsay was stabbed." Flack said as the elevator reached the garage level.

"No." Danny said shaking his head, not believing Flack. "Lindsay, went grocery shopping."

"And someone held the store up, he got scared and Lindsay got the worst of it." Flack explained calmly, knowing when it came to Lindsay, he was a hair trigger.

"Come'on Flack you're not funny." Danny said shaking his head and turning back to the elevator.

"I'm not fuckin' messin' with you Messer." Flack yelled at him. "The baby's in distress, they're gonna do a c-section."

"For real?" Danny said, his voice empty and his wide as he looked at Flack, and walked closer to him. "You're not joking are you?"

"No, you're gonna be a daddy today." Flack said as he enveloped Danny in a "manly" hug.

"We need to go." Danny said as he and Flack jogged to his car. "What about Linds, is she okay?" he asked as he fidgeted in his seat.

"She's fine, it's just the baby's in distress, she's good." Flack explained as he turned his lights and sirens on.

"Why did you know before me?" Danny asked as he pulled out his phone to check to see if he had any messages.

"I was called to the scene, none of the other officers recognized her, I guess." Flack said. "She was rushed to the hospital right away, they left her purse, that's how I knew who she was."

"Oh." Danny said as he twisted the still new ring on his left ring finger. "She's only 34 weeks, Flack." Danny said his voice breaking.

"Danny, you're son is gonna be fine." Flack said sternly. "Don't think like that, think about what you haven't bought yet."

"Did you get him?" Danny asked as they pulled into the hospital.

"Yeah." Flack said.

"Good." Danny said as he jumped out of the car and ran to the nurses' station, startling the young nurse. "I'm looking for my wife."

"Okay." She said and continued to just look at him waiting for a name. "Her name?"

"Lindsay Messer." Danny said as he continued to scan the area around him, practically bouncing, ready to run.

"3rd floor, in the maternity ward." She said and Danny was gone.

"Lindsay Messer." He said as he ran off the elevator on the 3rd floor to the nurses' station.

"And you are?" the lady asked rudely.

"The fuckin' husband and father." Danny barked, startling the nurse.

"I'm sorry sir-." She started but what cut off by the shattered look on Danny's face. "No, nothing bad happened, she's just already in delivery, I'm afraid you're gonna have to wait."

"What?" Danny asked, like a lost child, completely devastated. "I'm gonna miss it?"

"Mr. Messer?" another nurse asked standing next to Danny.

"Yeah." Danny said as he saw Flack step off the elevator and give him a weak smile.

"Come with me, you're wife is in recovery right now." She said with a gentle smile, as Danny nodded and visually tried to swallow back his tears.

"What about my baby?" Danny asked as he peaked in each one of the rooms he passed.

"He's fine, he's in the NICU." She said as she stood by a door and opened it for Danny. "She's been asking for you."

"Thanks." Danny said as he walked into the room and saw Lindsay, he smiled as he watched her badger the nurses for information on their son.

"Ma'am, he's fine, they're running test on him in the NICU, when I know something, you will know." She said with a sweet smile, as she took Lindsay's vitals.

"Where's my husband?" she asked, her eyes focused on the nurse, not noticing Danny standing there smirking at her.

"Right here." Danny said causing both of them to jump.

"What is the matter with you?" the nurse laughed at him. "You shouldn't scare people in the hospital."

"Sorry, but she scared me first." Danny laughed as he sat on the edge of Lindsay's bed. "Hey." He said his voice barely above a whisper.

"We're ready to move you back to your room, Mrs. Messer." A nurse said interrupting them.

"Okay." Lindsay said as she reached for Danny's hand and squeezed. "I'm fine, go find the baby."

"Okay." Danny said and followed her bed out of the room.

"Can I help you sir?" a nurse asked as Danny stood in the doorway of the NICU.

"I'm looking for my son." Danny said as he looked at the nurse.

"What's his name?" she asked softly, sensing the man's fear.

"Messer." Danny said. "Just Messer, right now."

"Right this way, we just finished all the tests." She said with a gentle smile as she made Danny sterilize before leading Danny over to an open crib, with a small baby inside, covered by wires.

"He just seems to be a typical feeder and grower." She explained as she watched the man gaze at his son. "But he doesn't need a feeding tube, we had your wife pump some milk in recovery, he feeds well."

"He's not yellow." Danny noted as he visually counted the 10 finger and toes.

"No, no jaundice. We also have him on an apnea monitor, it's very common in preemies." She said as Danny pulled an empty seat and sat down next to the crib. "You can touch him."

"Yeah?" Danny said as he gently ran a finger down the baby's cheek, carefully. "How big is he?"

"4.9lbs, 17 inches." She smiled as she watched Danny place his finger in his son's hand, and how he smiled when his son gripped his finger.

"He's pretty cute." Danny said more to himself than the nurse. "Has his mother's nose." Danny noted and gently kissed the baby's forehead. The nurse turned and walked away.

Danny smiled as he studied the baby, the small blue cap, still too big for his son's head. All he had was a diaper on, his umbilical cord still visible. Danny sat there for a while and carefully watched his son's chest, remember how the nurse said apnea was common in preemies. His breathing was shallow and soon alarms went off all around Danny.

"Sir, you need to leave." The nurse said as she escorted a fighting Danny out of the NICU.

"No, I'm not going any where." Danny said as he was pushed out into the hallway. "That's my kid." He yelled as the door closed.

"Mr. Messer, we'll come to your wife's room, when he's stable." The nurse said opening and closing the door again.

"Danny?" Flack asked as he walked down the hallway. "What happened?"

"I don't know." He said. "I don't know, his breathing was shallow, then all these alarms were going off, and the pushed me out." Danny said as he turned and looked back through the window, where nurses and a doctor were crowded around his son.

"Hey." Flack said getting Danny's attention. "He's gonna be fine."

"Yeah." Danny said not paying attention to Flack. "I need to see Lindsay."

"Yeah, you do. She won't let me back into the room until I found you or had info." Flack said as he clapped his hand on Danny's shoulder as they walked reluctantly away from the NICU. "He'll be fine."

"Hey." Danny said as he walked into his wife's room.

"Danny, what's wrong?" she asked immediately knowing something happened by the look on Danny's face.

"I don't know." He swallowed as he laid down beside and gently took her into his arms, careful not to hurt her. "He was fine, he was sleeping, then alarms just went off." Danny cried into hair. "He's so small."

"Oh, Dan." She said as she took his hands from around her waist and brought them under her neck, holding him closer as they both cried.

"They said apnea is common in preemies." Danny noted as his tears slowed.

"Maybe that's all, maybe he just forgot to breathe." She said. "And the monitors caught it."

"I hope." Danny said nuzzling her neck. "I'm sorry."

"Why are you sorry?" Lindsay asked kissing his hand.

"I wasn't there, I missed it, I missed our baby's birth, his first cry." Danny whimpered. "I wasn't there to hold your hand, tell you how I proud I was on you."

"It's okay Danny, I know you wanted to be there." She said as she played with his ring. "I love you."

"Love you too, Montana." He said as he laid his head on her shoulder. "He needs a name."
