A/N: Here's the long awaited (well not that long) sequel to 'Finding Hope'. Thanks again to all of you who read the first one and I hope you all enjoy this story which is a continuation of 'Finding Hope'. The first chapter isn't anything special and it's going to be short so bare with me. It's just an over view of the year that has past and some of the small things about their relationship.

Disclaimer: I don't own CSI: NY or any of the characters. They all belong to the show. The only things I own are the story line and Lindsay's family (characters I have made up), excluding Yankee GM Brian Cashman.


Chapter 1: A Year in Review

When Danny and Lindsay got back to New York everything went back to normal. Well okay, as normal as they could possibly get. The day after they got back they arrived back at the lab for work. They had decided against keeping their relationship a secret from their co-workers and friends. Mac already obviously knew something was up when Danny accompanied Lindsay to Montana so there wasn't much to hide. If you were to ask Flack he would tell you it was about time. They only thing asked of them was that they keep their personal lives separate from their professional lives as much as possible. Danny and Lindsay willingly agreed.

Danny and Lindsay dated for about two months. They went to dinner, movies and hung out after work. After those two months they decided to move in together. It wasn't something they had to think long and hard about since Lindsay was spending most nights at Danny's anyway. So with the help of Flack they moved all her stuff into Danny's apartment and gave Mac all the information needed for the changes.

In the time since they had been to Montana, Danny and Lindsay had visited once again closer to Christmas and Becky Lynn, Brad and the twins had made frequent visits to New York. Danny had also taken her to meet his family. The first time they had met wasn't under the best circumstances. Lindsay had accompanied Danny to his brother, Louie's, funeral and had given his a shoulder to cry on. That had been the only other time they had met. Lindsay was a hit with the Messer family, especially with Danny's great-grandmother, Isabel Maria Messer. Isabel had nine grandchildren and 25 great-grandchildren, but secretly Danny and his sister Renee were her favorites. They both were polite and had been the only ones to obtain respectable jobs. None of Danny's girlfriends had ever been good enough for her Danny and never would be. That was until Isabel met Lindsay. It surprised Danny how his great-grandmother took to Lindsay but he was glad.

After about a year since their trip to Montana and they exchanged 'I love you', Danny decided he wanted more.


A/N: I told you it was short but chapter two is much, much longer and it gets to the good stuff. So don't give up on it yet! I have lots of stuff in mind for later on and you guys get to help with some of it. Reviews are always welcome and appreciated.
