A/N: Sequel to Montana. I don't know how long this will be, I'll try to update when I can.

Danny's pager beeped. He took a quick glance at it, before putting it back on his belt and continuing what he was doing.

"Everything okay?" Hawkes who was processing the scene with him asked.

"Lindsay thinks she's in labour again." Danny replied. "It's probably a false alarm like last time, and the time before that."

"Are you sure?" Hawkes inquired.

"She'll page me again if she's really in labour." Danny said. "I'm not getting stuck in traffic again for no reason."

"Okay." Hawkes agreed. A second later his cell phone buzzed letting him know he had a message. "I wouldn't be so certain it was a false alarm this time." Hawkes said when he read the message.

"Why do you say that?"

"I just got a text from Stella; Lindsay's water just broke in the middle of the lab."

"What's she doing at the lab?" Danny asked.

"Danny your wife is having a baby right now and your biggest concern is why she is at the lab?" Hawkes rolled his eyes. "Samuels."

"Yes Doctor Hawkes?" The officer came over.

"Can you make sure Detective Messer here gets back to the Crime Lab safely? His wife just went into labour and she's there."

"Is it for real this time?" Samuels asked.

"Her water broke." Hawkes confirmed.

"Have you seen Lindsay?" Danny asked when he rushed into the lab.

"AV room with Stella." Came a response.

Danny didn't wait to say thank you. He just headed for the AV room.

"I think we could probably get something more out of this area with a little work." Lindsay pointed to the screen.

"Hey Danny." Stella said when he rushed in.

"Please tell me it wasn't another false alarm." He said trying to catch his breath.

"No, if you don't believe me just ask Adam. I think we owe him some new shoes." Lindsay replied.

"Then why are you sitting here?"

"Because it takes hours and my contractions aren't close enough together to go to the hospital. So I thought since I was here I'd help out." Lindsay explained.

"What are you doing here anyway?"

"I got feed up of sitting home alone, so I thought I'd come and see if anyone wanted to get lunch."

"Lunch was hours ago." Danny stated.

"I'm going to see if my test results are back." Stella excused herself.

"I know. I wasn't planning on calling you for a while but Stella didn't want you to get too involved in your scene. My Mom can't get a flight out until tomorrow, your mother said to call her as soon as we know anything, I called my doctor who told me not to come in until my contractions are only a few minutes apart, so I thought I'd help out with this video as there is no chance of me contaminating it as it is a digital copy."

"Maybe we should go home?" Danny suggested.

"I'm closer to the hospital here, and if necessary there are doctors in the building."

"Do you really want to give birth in the morgue?" Danny asked.

"No, but we have plenty of time. Ow." A contraction hit.

Danny rubbed her back and whispered calming words in her ear.

"Are you okay?"

"You try getting ready to push 7lbs out of you and you see if it hurts, but they're only twenty minutes apart."

"Let's go home." He tried again.

"I'm staying here until it's time to go to the hospital. You can go and get my bag?" Lindsay suggested.

Hawkes was just exiting the elevator when Mac was waiting to enter it.

"Any news on Lindsay?" Hawkes inquired.

"Why don't you ask her yourself?" Mac suggested. "She's in AV."

"It was another false alarm?" Hawkes guessed.

"No, her contractions aren't close enough together for her to go to the hospital so she's insisting on staying here because it's closer to the hospital."

"I'll go and check on her." Mac caught the elevator before the doors shut and Hawkes headed to AV. "Hey."

Lindsay was working on the video in front of her.

"Hi."

"How's it going?"

"Still seventeen minutes apart." She replied.

"It's going to be a while. Where's Danny?"

"He was driving me crazy so I sent him for a walk." Lindsay explained.

"A walk would probably do you some good maybe help speed things up."

"I'm willing to try anything right now." Lindsay told him.

"And don't give Danny too hard a time. He's allowed to get a little freaked out."

"He got freaked out when I told him I was pregnant, at the first scan, when the baby first moved, the second scan which is why I wouldn't let him find out the sex. It's my turn."

"Do you know?" Hawkes thought he noticed something in her tone.

"Of course."
