The doors were about to close when Lindsay Monroe heard Danny Messer call out to hold the elevator. She put her hand in between the closing doors and smiled as Danny came though.
"Hey Montana" Danny said smiling.
"Hey Danny finished processing?" Lindsay asked.
Danny nodded his head. "Listen, I have been wanting to talk to you about something, I know that you said that you couldn't be with me, but "
The elevator stopped and the light flickered out.
"Danny what's happening?" Lindsay asked nervously.
"Darn, power outage, the generator should come on in a minute. Anyway back to what I was saying. Since you told me we couldn't be together I just haven't been feeling… good. I just so want you, us to happen. I know you don't want it to, but I do. Please just tell me what your feeling right now." Danny finished his speech.
" I feel… scared that I will never be with you" Lindsay admitted.
Danny pushed her against the wall of the elevator and kissed her. All of the stress from the past year drained out of her at that second. She felt warm and safe being so close to Danny. The elevator phone rang. Danny pulled away and picked up the phone. "Detectives Messer and Monroe are stuck in the elevator when is it going to get moving."
Lindsay slid to the floor to think about what had just happened between her and Danny. She watched he nodded at whatever the person on the other line was saying.
" Ok thank you, I'll deal I have been stuck in a panic room with a dead body before I think I can handle and elevator with a colleague for a few hours. All right. Thanks anyway. " Danny sighed as he got off the phone.
"We might be stuck down her for a few hours, but anyway where were we?" Danny asked walking towards Lindsay with a mischievous smile on his face.
"Wait Danny we need to talk about this first. I need to know if this would just a fling or do you actually want this?" Lindsay asked with a befuddled look on her face.
"I want to have a relationship with you, not just a fling. Look I haven't liked a girl like I like you in a long time. I want to be able to take you on a date with out people asking us a ton of questions. I want you to be my girlfriend. Does that answer your question?"
Lindsay pulled him down to the floor and kissed him. She climbed on top of his lap and than Danny kissed her forehead than her nose and then lingered in front of her lips and Lindsay said 'Yes, that answers my question quite nicely actually"
Lindsay started to unbutton his shirt, but Danny pulled back.
"Montana, do you really want our first time to be in an elevator."
"No, but what else are we going to do?"
"How about we just talk for a while?"
They exchanged stories about their families, outstanding cases they have worked on, and much more. After a while they got tired and fell asleep with their heads propped up against each other. Meanwhile the rest of the team and the maintenance crew was trying to get the elevator to move.
"I got it" Said Detective Flack.
The elevator opened to Danny and Lindsay asleep on the floor.
"You guys must be tired" said Mac feeling sorry for them.
"Don't worry about it I just need a long sleep in my bed." Said Danny rubbing his eyes as he tried to stand up. Once he was up he offered his hand to Lindsay to help her stand up.
They walked down to their cars in silence, but then Danny grabbed Lindsay and kissed her.
"Do you want a go on a date with me tomorrow night?" Danny asked in between kisses.
Lindsay giggled and then said "Of course I would like to see you tomorrow, but I just…"
Danny cut her off by kissing her. "No buts. I want to go on a date with you tomorrow night." He kissed her on the head and walked to his car.
Lindsay put on her favorite shirt and a cute skirt. She was so nervous and she didn't know why. She heard a knock on her door so she grabbed her jacket and her purse and ran to the door in a fluster.
"Wow. Montana you look … amazing." Danny said looking her up and down. He moved forward and kissed her on her forehead and then her nose and then her lips and started to push her back into the apartment.
"Easy cowboy, I thought we were going to take it slow" Lindsay said as she started to push him back out the door.
"Okay, okay let's go" Danny replied.
Lindsay and Danny came through the door kissing each other. Lindsay removed Danny's jacket and then kicked off her shoes. Lindsay slipped out of her jacket and then helped Danny out of his shirt.
"So much for taking this slow" Lindsay said laughing as Danny pushed her into her bedroom.
Danny opened his eyes to a mop of chestnut brown curls in front of his face. Lindsay woke up and felt warm and safe in his strong arms.
Danny sensed that she was awake. "Morning Montana" he whispered in her ear.
She rolled over and Danny kissed her nose and Lindsay burrowed into him.
"Hey Danny, I thought you said you didn't cuddle" Lindsay said sweetly.
"Only for you Montana" he said kissing her hair. " Don't tell anyone though"
Danny walked in to the lab more cheerful than usual.
"What do we got" Danny asked Stella while he rubbed his hands together.
"Nothing, death has taken a break for today so it is mostly paper work… you look awfully happy today" Stella said
"Let's just say I had a good night sleep' he said recalling last night.
Lindsay walked in with a goofy smile on her face.
"I hear death's on vacation" Lindsay said.
Stella could not help but smile.
"So you are both very, very happy today" Stella inquired
"Well why not?" Danny said turning around and walking away.
"It's a great day" Lindsay said as she tried to catch up with Danny.
"Danny" called Lindsay
"Hey Montana, just the girl I was looking for" He said leaning for a kiss but Lindsay pushed him away.
"Back off cowboy before that can happen again you have to answer my question" Lindsay said
"What's your question" Danny said turning back to his locker to get a clean shirt.
"Should we tell them?" Lindsay asked
"I was planning on it" Danny answered smiling
"Ok" Lindsay said then sat down holding her stomach
"You alright?"
"Yeah I'm fine just a little nausea, let's got tell 'em"
2 weeks later Lindsay sat on Danny's toilet with a pregnancy test in her hand. Oh my god. She thought. Positive.
