I Will Always Love You

(A D/L Fan Fiction)

A/N: I based this from season 5 episode 17 "Green Piece" It's a "What If…" type of Fan Fiction. What if Lindsay did say no to Danny when they talked in front of the clerk's office?

Chapter 1

After Lindsay kissed Danny, she pulled back, glancing up at him.

"Danny… I'm really sorry, but no."

Danny looked down, crushed; feeling like his whole world has collapsed. Lindsay noticed this so she just walked away, out the door and took a cab going to her apartment leaving a heartbroken Danny standing there.

Mac and Stella were inside the office anxiously waiting for the couple to come in and join them. Since their shadows were seen from inside they noticed one of the two shadows disappear and the other one disappear as well. Mac, who was confused by the sudden turn of events, opened the door in rage with Stella behind him. Mac stood there looking to his left then to his right until he noticed Danny, sitting; his back laid on the wall and his eyes closed. Mac then realized that Lindsay once again had said "no" and stood in front of him. Stella, still holding the white flowers, joined them

Danny felt like he was going to cry but he did his best not to. All he could think about was the word no; that two letter word kept circling in Danny's head until he felt like he was being surrounded. He opened his eyes to see a slightly angry Mac and an emotional Stella staring at him.

"Oh, umm hi guys… sorry for dragging you guys down here, you should just go home," he said, and then stood up.

Mac patted his shoulder and said, "Everything's going to be fine".

Danny nodded and walked away. I hope…, he thought.

Meanwhile almost halfway across the city, Lindsay Monroe sat on her couch. Her head was spinning.

'Why did he have to look so down and sad! Why'd I have to say no? He loves you and you love him! All he wanted to do was make you happy…I'm such a jerk!', she thought, shaking her head at herself. 'Danny please don't be mad at me…'

With that she rose from her couch, grabbed her scarf and walked out the door.

Danny's been walking around Central Park for a while now. With no specific destination in mind he just kept walking, deep in thought.

'Damn it! She's gone…of course not forever but what would her father think of me now? He knows Lindsay's pregnant and we're not married,' Danny thought. 'Wait, what am I thinking? Is that the reason why I want Montana to marry me? Of course not! I love her! Why can't she see that?'

Danny sighed. Everything never seems to go the way he wants them to. But he wouldn't give up. No. That two letter word seems even significant for him. Would he give up? No. That was right, Danny Messer was no quitter, and he would do anything in his power for Montana to be his wife. With that he started to walk faster, he knew where he should go now.

Lindsay finally arrived at her destination. The New York Crime Lab, her second home, apart from her apartment and Montana of course. She wanted to say goodbye to everyone before she left, but she knew by gut instinct that Danny wasn't going to be in there. She walked over to the lift and started to ascend upward, going to the 35th floor. When she got off she was instantly greeted by her ecstatic best friend Stella Bonasera. They both walked to the break room where everyone was already waiting for her.

"Hey Linds. Where's Danny?" Flack asked after taking a short glance at everyone around the room.

Lindsay didn't know what to answer. Should she tell them what had happened or should she just keep it to herself for a while? She was about to answer when Mac suddenly interrupted.

"Danny went out to do something important and said that he couldn't make it here," Mac said with a very suspicious smile on his face.

'He knows something I don't,' Lindsay thought to herself.

The day went on; Lindsay went home to pack her things with Stella in tow, Mac, Flack, Hawkes and Adam all went home to catch on with some sleep. They needed their sleep if they didn't want to miss a special event the next day. Everyone knew what Danny was planning but of course except for Lindsay.

The next day, Lindsay was standing outside her apartment building, suitcase in hand, her purse around her shoulder and the cab door already open but before she got on she wanted to take one last glance at the apartment building. Having a short flashback of everything that happened in that little apartment of hers, how much she'd be going to miss everyone at the lab and Danny of course. The cab driver took her suitcase and put it in the back of the cab while she got in. She and Danny hadn't spoken to each other since the day before, the day he had asked her to marry him, again. And she had said no. Again.

Lindsay sighed. After all the wonderful things Danny has done for her she still wouldn't agree to marry him. Something was pulling her back, but she couldn't quite put her finger on it. As ridiculous and stupid as that sounded, she didn't know why she said no in the first place. It was as if some kind of force was telling her to just sit back and wait. And her guts were telling her that doing just that would definitely lead to something wonderful. She just didn't know what that was yet.

And little did she know that a certain someone already had something planned.
