Nine Months – By tiva_mcabby5

A little story about Linda and Danny and if they had another baby (which they should; that would be adorable) that was to be a one shot but got a lot of positive feedback …The perspectives will change from chapter to chapter…sometimes being a Blue Bloods character, sometimes Maeve, and sometimes the narrator (me).

PLEASE NOTE: I am NOT a mother and I am not pregnant. Therefore, I don't know that much about pregnancy and/or ultrasounds, etc. I'm a 15 (almost 16) year old writer, so please don't criticize me on any inaccuracies regarding pregnancy, etc. Also, apologies for any spelling/grammar mistakes…I'm not perfect and I'm tired.

Perspective: Linda

Six Weeks

Danny had already left for work when it happened. I had already dropped the boys off at school. I was just getting ready to go to work myself when I smelled it. Barbeque. Why in the world my neighbor was grilling something at nine in the morning, I may never know, but I do know that as soon as I smelled it, I was sprinting towards the bathroom, arriving seconds before I emptied the contents of my stomach into the toilet.

I grabbed a washcloth, wet it, and wiped my face off, still trying to figure out what the hell had just happened. I brushed my teeth, three times to get the taste out of my mouth, and then it hit me. The last time that had happened…no, it couldn't be…the last time that had happened, the last time I'd been so sick so quickly like that…was when I was pregnant with Sean.

I paused to actually think this through. When could this…oh. OH. That was when it could have happened.

Grabbing a package of saltines and my keys, I locked the door behind me and headed out to the nearest drug store.

Waiting for each of the three pregnancy tests I had taken to show up took what seemed like hours. Sure, I had been through this before, twice, but not in over eight years. It was like a whole new experience. One by one, a little message saying "PREGNANT" showed up on each of the tests. I looked down in amazement at my stomach. It was the weirdest feeling. I felt like a first-time mom again.

I had called Danny and told him I had made a chicken parm sandwich – his favorite – with last night's leftovers, and I said I'd bring it into the station for his lunch break. It was a slow day for him at the station, and he was free.
The officer at the front desk knew who I was, so they let me right in and I climbed the stairs up to Danny's floor. He smelled the warm sandwich as soon as I walked in, and he jumped up and gave me a kiss. I smiled and said hi to Jackie, and followed Danny into an empty conference room.

Leaning against the table, he smiled and said, "Is there a special occasion for this?"
"Why can't a woman make her husband his favorite sandwich?" I said, laughing.

"I'm getting the feeling there's something else, Linda." When I didn't immediately respond, he said, "Babe…Is something wrong?"

"Wrong?" I asked. "Danny, God no, there's nothing wrong!" I smiled a genuine smile, and he looked confused. "Just…open the bag." I handed him the brown paper bag that had his sandwich in it.

He made a mischievous face and opened up the bag. Inside, on top of his sandwich, was another brown paper bag, but a smaller one. Setting the sandwich on the table next to him, he slowly unrolled the paper and pulled out a small Ziploc bag…and one of the positive pregnancy tests was in it.

He immediately gasped and tears came to his eyes. He looked up at me, a look of pure joy on his face. I started to cry happy tears and I couldn't stop smiling.

"A baby?" he choked out. I nodded and he set the test on the table and kissed me, then pulled back and said, "That's positive, right?"

"Danny, why on earth would I give you a negative pregnancy test?" I laughed again.

"I was just making sure, babe," he said, and he kissed me again. "When did you find out?"

"About an hour ago. I haven't scheduled a doctor's appointment yet, but I was going to as soon as I got back home. When are you off duty?"

"Tomorrow afternoon."

"Well I'll call Dr. Kroemer and make an appointment."

"It's a date," Danny said, smiling from ear to ear. He kissed me again on the cheek. Looking up at the clock, I realized what time it was.

"I have to pick up Jack from school for his orthodontist's appointment in twenty minutes," I sighed. I was perfectly content with staying with Danny the rest of the day, but my son – and his teeth – needed me to get him to his appointment.

Danny kissed me one more time before I left. As I left the station, I heard Jackie ask him, "What's up, Reagan?"

Danny just told her he'd tell her soon, and I could tell he was still smiling.
