Chapter 1 - surprise visit
Lindsay stood in the elevator looking down at the small baby in the pram. Nathan Messer, he was playing with the plastic mobile of stars and spaceships hanging from the top of the pram. She hadn't been at the lab since Nathan born five months ago and was feeling nervous.
Danny had been taking in pictures of the small infant and giving all the info to his co-worker, who would all say 'awww' when Danny tells them how Lindsay sits on the rocking chair until he fell asleep. Or how he still reads comics to him every day when he gets home. Some of their co-worker came to visit in the hospital and the rest came to visit their home to meet the new born.
As the elevator pinged on to the third floor, Lindsay took a deep breath in and out as the doors opened. She walked out pushing the pram in front of her, she saw all the lab techs smiling and taking a peek at the baby as they walked by.
She turned the corner to group of her co-workers consisting of Danny, Mac, Stella and Flack. They looked as if they were having a serious conversation, probably about the case they were currently working on. She also saw a knew face to the group, she guessed it was the new girl Danny was talking about, Lindsay's temporary replacement.
Lindsay slowed her walking pace, hoping that by the time she got to them they would have finished their talk. Danny turned his head and saw his beautiful wife and his son in his black 'cutie-pie' pram he smiled and turned back to the group. Mac frowned he saw that Danny was distracted and stopped speaking, he turned around to see Lindsay slowly walking towards them all. He smiled at the young woman and looked back at Danny as he silently dismissed him.
Danny walked over to Lindsay and kissed her forehead and looked into the pram at the gurgling baby. He grinned and took the pram and pushed it up to the group. Lindsay received a kiss on the cheek from Mac and a hug from Stella, they had been the ones who were visiting the most.
"sorry to stop the conversation guys, I got bored walking around the park so I came to visit." Lindsay said rocking the pram back and forth.
"what are you to be sorry for, we haven't seen you here in almost five months." Mac said laughing "Lindsay this is Morgan Kepple, and Morgan this is Lindsay Monroe, sorry I mean Messer." he introduced both woman who shook hands and say hi to one another.
"I've heard so much about you…and Nathan, it's good to finally meet you." Morgan said smiling
"yeah you to, well I'm going to go get some things from my office, can one of you guys look after Nathan?" she asked seeing Danny frown. "Danny I need you to help me with something." Danny nodded and looked at his son.
"I'll do it Linds." Stella said grinning, she loved little Nathan. She even offered to baby sit if they ever needed it.
"ok, I thought you might offer." Lindsay said laughing "ok so we'll be in our office if you need anything." Stella nodded and walked away with the pram.
Lindsay and Danny headed for their office, they opened the door and Lindsay realized that Morgan currently had her desk, she frowned all her stuff had be moved around. She looked around and found different bits and bobs that had been kept previously on her desk. Danny laughed as he watched his wife rush around the room and pick up her items.
"I made sure all your stuff never went missing. Morgan asked if she could move your stuff first." he said handing her one of her pictures from the top of a unit.
"I suppose I can't be too annoyed, she has been working here for five months." she said smiling at the picture of him and Lindsay on their wedding day at the clerks office.
Lindsay turned to face Danny putting all the things she had picked up on his desk. She hugged him "I missed you today, I saw all the families with young children walking in the park together and I was really jealous. I want us to have a nice day in park together, where you can read comic books to Nathan and I can sit and listen." she said closing her eyes and imagining the perfect scene.
Danny kissed her hair. "if a day in park with me and Nathan is what you want then that's what will happen. I'll take the day of tomorrow and we can go to the park. I'll even buy you an ice-cream from Luigi's." he said knowing she loved the Italian ice-cream. She looked up at him and grinned. He always knew how to make her smile.
They looked at each other and then Danny kissed her lips softly but the softness turned into passion. They hadn't kissed like this in almost two days and was long over due. Morgan walked in and stopped when she saw the couple passionately kiss, they hadn't even heard her. She tried to turn and walk out when Lindsay saw her in the corner of her eye. She pulled away quickly and Danny groaned at the sudden loss of contact.
"sorry guys I didn't mean to disturb, I never saw you there." Morgan said as her cheeks went red from embarrassment.
"no, it's fine I have to get going anyway. I've distracted everyone from their work too much already." Lindsay said picking her things up again. Morgan smiled and left the office, Danny kissed Lindsay on her forehead before entertaining their fingers and walking out.
They both heard Nathan laugh as they entered the break room. Mac and Stella sat pulling funny faces ant their baby. Lindsay laughed grabbing their attention, "he started to cry and we tried to cheer him up by making him laugh." Stella said explaining herself. Danny walked over to the pram and lifted the little boy out.
"what's wrong squirt huh? Do you need to be fed?" he asked the baby glancing over at Lindsay "did you fill up a bottle?" Lindsay shook her head
"no, I think he drained me this morning." she laughed as Danny handed her Nathan. "I hope you guys don't mind me breast feeding?" she asked suddenly felling her cheeks go red.
"of coarse not, it's the most natural thing in the world." Mac said offering Lindsay his seat which she gladly took.
Stella smiled at Lindsay. "you look like the perfect mother Linds." she stated, Lindsay looked at her and smiled not sure what she meant by the statement.
"thanks, I think." she replied laughing as she lifted her blue and white top and let Nathan latch on to her left nipple. Danny smiled, he loved watching Lindsay breastfeed. He would even watch her breastfeed when the baseball was on which was one of his favorite things to do.
Morgan walked in the room and sat at the table with her coffee. She looked up at Danny and he looked away. Lindsay noticed this and frowned. "ok well I'm gonna head home." Lindsay said when Nathan stopped feeding. "I'll see you tonight and the rest of you next month when I return to work." she gave hugs and shook hands as Danny put Nathan back in the pram. Lindsay kissed Danny lightly and headed for the elevator again.
As the doors were about to close Morgan ran in and stood beside Lindsay. "I tell you, you are lucky to have a guy like Danny." she said making Lindsay smile.
"yeah I know he's great. I don't know what I would do without him." she said looking down at Nathan who was the spitting image of his father.
"I always remember him being a great guy…sometimes I wish me and Danny had never broke up a few years back." she said. Lindsay looked at her and raised her eyebrows…
How do you think Lindsay's going to react to this news.
