Another one set after the mess that was the season 4 episode "Right Next Door". I love me some angst and drama, so enjoy!

I love portraying a strong Lindsay and an incredibly guilty Danny. : )

A DL Story

The Start of a New Beginning

Chapter 1-Learning the Truth & Making Decisions Lindsay's POV

Prologue

I stood outside the building that would change my life forever, a single tear slid down my cheek, as I rested my trembling hands on my now slightly pronounced, small two month and four week, baby bump. Not quite believing it had come to this I made my way into the abortion clinic.

"I slept with Rikki" Danny said refusing to meet my hurt gaze.

I saw it coming, I knew deep down he'd been with another woman that's why he distanced himself from me, forgot my birthday, refused to spend any time with me outside work and hadn't reacted or said anything when I vented my feeling to him, telling him I loved him but I have to learn let it go; all I got was a sorry, we need to talk.

"So, what do you what me to do, congratulate you" I replied casually whilst making my way to sit down.

"No…I was kinda expectin` you to yell at me, slap me or at least throw things at me" Danny said as he came to sit next to me on my couch.

"What would be the point, I'd just damage my apartment and your face…at the end of the day whatever I say or do, isn't going to change the fact that you're a jerk, a complete asshole, that I hate you and that I hope you and Rikki burn in hell" I explained simply, giving him a satisfied smile before standing up and walking to the door and opening it.

"Now if you wouldn't mind leaving, before I change my mind…snap and you'll lose a vital part of your anatomy".

Danny stood up and walked to the door; he stopped and raised one hand to caress my face, tears forming in his eyes. He walked out and turned around, he opened his mouth to say something but I slammed the door shut.

I returned to the couch, contemplating my plan of action; you see I had just found out I was one month and three weeks pregnant with Danny's baby. I knew something was up when I called him, he was strangely short with me….she must have been there. "I slept with Rikki" those four words were replaying in my mind, that lying jackass implying he only slept with her once, like I believe that crap; they've probably been at it since Rikki stole his gun. I couldn't have his baby now, being a thirty-two year old, single, working mother wasn't exactly the situation I wanted to be in when I raised a child. I stood up and walked to the cupboard beside the television…I pulled out the yellow pages.

I found what I was looking for and began reading, trying to find the most suitable one, while stroking my non-existent baby bump. I suddenly stopped when I realised what I was doing and I pulled my hand away, don't get to attached Lindsay, it will just make getting rid of it harder. I thought to my self as I clambered up towards the phone, taking the yellow pages with me, I dialled the number and the ringing began.

"Hello, Elm Tree Family Planning and Abortion Clinic, Vivian, speaking how may I help you" a kind, warm woman's voice said over the phone.

"Hi, my names Lindsay Monroe" I said shakily. "I need an appointment, to have a, a…abortion" God it killed me to say that.

"Ok, Miss Monroe, can I have your address and any contact numbers?" asked Vivian, kindly. I gave her my details and she gave me an appointment.

To be continued.......

(I`m not an expert....I`m only 15 so I have no idea how you go about getting a abortion, I kinda know what happens but I`m not 100% sure or accurate....this is strictly fiction and I hope I do not upset anybody with the issue of abortion)
