This is the sequel of MENAGE A TROIS wrote by Amy and myself, we hope you'll enjoy it. please review.

A few months had passed since Lindsay's ordeal and she felt life was going great. During the 3 week leave she had from work, Danny asked her to move in with him. She was gob smacked when he asked.

Lindsay was sat at home yet again. Danny was pulling a double so she wouldn't see him until the morning, unless he came to her apartment in his lunch break, which she highly doubted; after all her apartment is half an hour away from the lab – as soon as he would have arrived he would have had to go back to work. She switched on the TV, the same old crap was showing, some boring reality show, a few talk shows and a show on cooking. Like that was gonna grab her attention. She was contemplating calling Danny or Stella or maybe even Flack, she needed to talk to someone; staying here was driving her crazy. Her logical side was telling her they would be busy at the lab but the other side was telling her to call someone. After a short internal debate the logical side won. She reached for the remote to the radio and switched on one of the stations that played country music. The duvet was lying at the bottom of her sofa. She pulled it up around her and closed her eyes, she could easily fall asleep. The song Leanne Rimes was singing gently faded to a silence, Lindsay had fallen asleep.

An hour later, Lindsay started to stir. She was having the same nightmare she had every night, she was replaying the time she got shot. Just before the bullet penetrated her skin she heard a knocking. There was never a knock in her dream before, it grew louder and the dream started to fade away. Within seconds she was awake and realised the knocking was coming from her door.

"Who is it?" She said in a husky voice.

'God her voice is so sexy like that' Danny thought. "It's me" His voice was also husky, he sounded as though he had ran up the stairs to her apartment. Lindsay's eyes brightened when she heard the thick New York accent. She hurried over to her door and opened it in an enthusiastic manner. The door blocking them was open, when she saw the look in his eyes her cheeks reddened. She had forgotten she was still in her pyjamas, she was wearing a pair of black spandex shorts and a wife beater that put Danny's to shame.

"Woah Montana, you even look hot when you have just woken up"

A half hearted smile crossed her lips

"Thanks"

She moved out the way so Danny could come in, he kissed her gently as he brushed past her.

"I thought Mac had you on a double"

"Yeah he did, but I told him I was taking my lunch and he said I could have as long as I need. Stella was fine on our case so I thought I'd take an extended lunch"

Lindsay went to speak but Danny interrupted her

"-Before you say anything I have an important question for you" He paused and thought about the best way to ask her.

"Yes..."

"Will you move in with me?"

He smiled at her, one of those smiles she knew he couldn't resist

"You serious?" Lindsay's jaw had dropped

"Yeah, deadly serious"

"Yes, of course I will" She hugged him and he kissed her forehead, then moved to her lips.

The rest of the day was a bit of a blur, Danny left after a couple of hours. Leaving Lindsay in her own mini paradise.

Lindsay was on her first case without Danny, in some way it felt strange, she had been used to working with him for 3 months solid then all of a sudden she found herself on a case with Stella. The pair were the only people in the lab, which was very surprising. Over the past few months everything has been really calm at work, there were hardly any murders.

"Stel" Lindsay called from the microscope, Causing Stella to turn away from the machine she was working on.

"hmm"

"Do you believe in karma?"

"Er, yeah. Why?"

"It's just... Oh don't worry, it was a stupid question"

"You must have asked it for a reason"

"Well yeah, but it doesn't matter anymore"

"Linds, sweetheart, just tell me"

"Ok ... everything is perfect in my life right now. I have a boyfriend who loves me, two best friends who would do anything for me, the stuff I needed to sort in Montana is sorted and I haven't done anything to deserve it"

"Hun, you deserve every ounce of happiness you get. You have been through loads and now its getting good for you. Just take each day as it comes, and embrace your happiness"

"Ok, thanks Stel"

"No problem. Look, I've got this covered, why don't you take your lunch now?"

"Alright, I'll be back in about an hour"

Lindsay collected the evidence she had just processed and placed it back in the box. She tidied up the area she was working in before hanging up her lab coat. She picked up a report and was reading it while walking towards the door. Since her head was down she didn't see anybody coming, as she tuned the corner she bumped into someone. Looking up to see who she had bumped into and she found herself staring at Danny's cool blue eyes.

"What are you doing here? I thought you had today off"

"I did, I missed you though"

he wrapped his arm around Lindsay's waist and pulled her closer to him, he kissed her softly.

"Come to lunch with me"

Lindsay nodded and Danny kissed her once more. Mac was standing behind Danny, hidden from Lindsay. He coughed, when Danny turned to face him he gave him an 'I don't want that in my lab' look.

"Sorry Mac"

Danny's cheeks reddened slightly and Lindsay was trying not to giggle. Before Mac could say anything Danny put his arm around Lindsay's waist and led her out the building.

"Give 'em a break Mac" Stella said from the doorway.

Danny and Lindsay approached a small Italian diner. From outside the diner looked like any ordinary take away pizza place. There was a small window allowing peeking eyes to see the front desk and a beautiful painting. A dark wooden door led you into a different world. In this new room the tables are spaced out so much that the occupants have the privacy they deserve, however there is only usually one or two couples there. The furnishings were also dark wood, but the rest of the décor was subtly colorful and bright. Chasing away the shadows that would have otherwise made the diner overly sombre. Each table had their own candle placed in the centre and the chandeliers cast a warm yellow glow over everything. Sconces along the wall held candles, they ran along the wall . The place had a homey feel which was only enhanced by the grand piano near the end of the room.

His arm was still around her waist, although their hands were clasped at her hip now. He led her into to the non descript door and opened it for her, allowing her to enter the reception area.

"Table for two" He asked the waiter, who led them through to the room then to a table which seemed detached from the other tables. They sat down and Danny ordered them a pizza to share.

They had finished their pizza and they were sat in a silence. Lindsay's hand was resting on the table with Danny's hand lying on top. Lindsay was in her own little world, looking at their hands.

"Lindsay"

She looked up, "yeah"

"marry me"

"what" She was pleasantly shocked at Danny's outburst, she was hoping she was still in her own little day dream. She realised that he was serious when he got off his chair and down on one knee to the side of hers. She turned to face him, he took her hand once again.

"Lindsay Monroe, will you marry me?"

Lindsay was still shocked, she tried to speak but nothing came out. After a few moments she realised she hadn't said anything.

"Danny" she looked into his eyes with the most sincerity "don't do this"

"What ?"

"I know you Danny, this isn't what you want"

"what i want, it's spend the rest of my life with the woman I love, and this woman is you and i want to marry you"

She smiled more because she knew this was insane than she was happy. She knew him too well, even if he prooved her that his commetment issues weren't here anymore, marriage was not his thing. It's scared him to death. And she was sure that if she didn't stop his momentary madness, one day he will regret this. And divorce was not an option for her. Until death do them part was a wow she will not break.

"We don't need to get married to spend the rest of our life together"

"So you say no ?"

"Don't make me say something i don't mean, I love you Danny, you know that, and i leave with you, i've never been more happier..."

"even with Flack ?"

"What the hell flack is doing in this ?"

"You didn't answer my question."

"Because it was a stupid one, look, Let Don out of this, what's going on Danny ?" she asked him a little worried.

"The women i love don't want to marry me, that's what's going on"

He get up and began to leave but Lindsay quickly got up and stopped him, hopefully there'nt too much poeple is the restaurant.

"Danny, wait"

"what Montana ?"

"I will marry you"

He looked at her, and began to smile, but lindsay wasn't finish

"I will marry you, when you will be ready to get married, and right now, you're not"

"That's bullshit, what's that suppose to mean ?" he asked obviously mad

"one day, i hope, you will wake up, and think that i'm the girl you always wanted, you will be sure, at 100, that you will want to spend you life with me, and this day, you will ask me to marry you, and my ring is going to have a diamond so big that i will have to insure my hand, and this day, i will cry and say a hundred time yes to you. But if you ask me now, when you sill think that i was more happy with Flack, witch is false by the way, one day you will wake up and realise that you have done a mistake, and you would get a divorce, and i will be devastated, because i married you because i was ready and not you. So please, please, Danny, i'm begging you, to wait, to wait until you're deeply sure.

all this time, Danny's eyes didn't leave Lindsay's, he could see tears in her eyes, but he could also see that she was deadly serious and that she was right.

"I... ok, i'm sorry" he finally said.

"don't be, I love you Daniel Messer"

He hugged her tightly.

"I love you too, do you want to go home ?"

"I have to go back to the lab, what did you have in mind?" she asked breathlessly, leaning toward him.

"I'll show you tonight," he answered, then he pulled her close and kissed her. They finally separated, Danny paid the bill, and Lindsay head back to the lab thinking that she had done the right thing

Little did she knows that things were about to change
