Author's Note: I was thinking of writing a story about this since last week we had some crazy scare the crap out ones and roasting heat.

Danny and Lindsay slept together in their nice and cozy thank God to the Air conditioner apartment. The city of New York was in it's 3rd day of a heatwave.
Lindsay turned and snuggled closer to her husband as their alarm went off. "Honey could you throw that thing across the room." Lindsay mumbled to a chuckling Danny. "What's so funny cowboy?" Lindsay questioned Danny who laid there stroking her shoulder as one hand laid on her round stomach. "Nothing it's just funny how the heat can make you cranky as…." Danny trailed off as Lindsay glared at him with a look that would turn fire to ice. "As…as my beautiful pregnant wife." Danny said as he got up and turned on the morning news as they got dressed and grabbed toast for breakfast.
"MONTANA WHERE IS THE BUTTER." Danny yelled very loudly from the kitchen over the motor of the air conditioner.
"DANNY IT'S IN THE REFRIGERATOR AND STOP YELLING THE WEATHER IS ON." Lindsay yelled back as Danny came out and stuck a piece of toast in her mouth.
"Today we are going to have the 3 h's…hazy…hot…and humid. Temps will reach well into the high 90's with high humidity…it's going to feel like Jamaica. Please make sure if you have to be out in the sun today to wear light clothes, a hat, sunscreen and drink plenty of fluids." The weather forecaster reported.
"Montana why is the butter in the refrig…it's all hard as a rock now…I can throw a slice of it at Flack and it would knock him out." Danny whined and Lindsay giggled before speaking. "It's in the refrigerator cause unless you want to pour the butter on the bread it will melt. You know our air conditioner hardly cools off the kitchen with all the times you have to use the oven…toaster." Lindsay said back. "Ok true Montana but come on it's hard…too hard." Danny said.
Danny and Lindsay finally got breakfast and made it out the door.
"Ok can we go back in…too hot." Lindsay said. "Don't complain Montana…your 7 months pregnant…and don't even have to leave the lab where it's nice and cool in there." Danny replied and Lindsay agreed.
They made it into the lab.
"Someone get Lindsay ice cold water." Stella said as she watched Lindsay stager into the breakroom with a parched throat and go for the ice water.
"Much better…I swear to God this heat is going to drive me insane." Lindsay said taking a long sip of her ice water.
"No kidding…Flack has been walking around in shorts." Stella said and Lindsay's eyes went wide. "Shorts…as in I'm Irish look at me chicken legs." Lindsay said and Stella laughed as Flack came waltzing in.
"Hey chicken legs." Lindsay said as she giggled. "Hey preggo." Flack replied and Lindsay glared at him. "Oh how I curse you chicken legs that you get a sunburn from hell." Lindsay said back. "Eeeesh pregnancy hormones have a lasso around you today I see." Flack said just as Lindsay replied with a shut up.
Mac came in the breakroom with orders.
"Stella…your with Flack…DB in Central Park. Lindsay you relax and drink loads of water." Mac said and Lindsay nodded.
Lindsay decided to flip on the TV as their little girl who they will be naming Anna Rose Messer decided to do flips of her own. "Woah in there cowgirl…no flips today….mommy is relaxing." Lindsay said as she patted her stomach gently.
A few hours later Flack same in walking kind of funny.
Lindsay took one look at Flack who was red like a lobster and chuckled. "Flack I see you and the sun don't get along afterall." Lindsay said and Flack glared at her.
Sheldon came in the room and burst out laughing as did everyone else.
"Flack the bright red lobster." Danny said as Sheldon left the room and came back with a bottle of Aloe and cold cream.
"Uh no way guys I'm not wearing that." Flack said and tried to hide behind Stella.
"Flack get your ass over here…it will cool down the burn." Sheldon said as Sid came up.
"Woah Flack your skin reminds me of a salmon dish I used to make." Sid began and everyone laughed.
Sheldon rubbed the aloe and cold cream over Flacks burned skin, which made him look very white.
"Awwwwwww Flack the bright red lobster has been upgraded to Flack Casper the ghost." Stella said and everyone laughed.
"Well everyone I think my wife and I are going to call it a day and go home and cook dinner." Danny said and Lindsay rejected. "No we are ordering food out so we don't heat up the kitchen where the butter has to go into the refrig cause it becomes soup." Lindsay said and Danny agreed and left the lab to order their takeout food.
Danny and Lindsay arrived home and ate their Chinese food they ordered and picked up.
A few hours later.
"Lindsay wake up…it's 1 am….you fell asleep on the couch." Danny said but Lindsay grunted so he lifted her up and carried her into their bedroom where they both fell asleep.
