Author's Note: This chapter I consider to be a transition, it is basically an in between, it is just Danny's reaction to the news of being a father. I thought that his reaction should have it's own chapter albeit short before having a set of problems to face and people to deal with. The moment he knows that his life will be changing forever shouldn't be stained with the obstacles this amazing couple will be facing.

This chapter is pure fluff and intentional OOC.

As always thank you soooo much for reading my stories and specially this one which is literally my baby.

Sorry in advanced for the mistakes and as you know this writing noodle loves reviews.

And the song that inspired this chapter (the lyrics will be shown as you read) and the entire story is SWEETEST DEVOTION by ADELE and I strongly advice you listen to the song as you read this chapter.

Chapter Text

With your loving, there ain't nothing

That I can't adore

The way I'm running, with you, honey

Is we can break every low

I find it funny that you're the only

One I never looked for

There is something in your loving

That tears down my walls

...****...

"I'M PREGNANT!" The words charged out of her lips in a desperate shout, tears began to form at the corners of her once irritated now frightened glazed blue eyes as she looked at every nook and cranny of the spacious room except at the human paralyzed only a foot away from her. 'Pregnant' The eight letter, two syllable word had the power to do what no one could, what she didn't think would be possible; frightened her to the point of making her chest tighten, to make just two minutes ago seem a lifetime ago, make all her thoughts vanish, all except that simple yet life-altering word.

'Pregnant' As the word echoed through the cold walls of the dimly lit room created a sense of finality, of newness to spread through Margot's flesh as the words brought the bittersweet taste to her mouth, sort of like a once forgotten homemade meal; foreign yet so familiar, that word made it all real; made the baby currently snugged inside her real.

As the seconds ticked and the only sound that could be heard was of Danny's labored breathing and her own frantic heart beat danced in her ear, the blonde's irritation at the frozen still man's lack of reaction intensified, here she was with a hurricane of emotions and doubts swirling inside her, making her skin flush, her hands to start to shake and her eyes to glaze over with salty moisture and Danny just stood there his eyes on her but his gaze seemed to be focus on something only his brown hues could see and his mouth slightly parted.

I wasn't ready then, I'm ready now

I'm heading straight for you

You will only be eternally

The one that I belong to

"Are you going to say something or are you planning on staying like that for the rest of the night?" Margot asked as she placed her hands on her hips and tried her best to make herself appear the strong women she portrayed but the words sounded vulnerable and lost as they slipped out of her tongue. His silence making her nerves quake and her already sensitive stomach churn as an infinite amount of doubt found home in her body. 'Damn you, Daniel say something' The now revealed expecting mother screamed in her mind, as all the emotions washed over her.

The sweetest devotion

Hitting me like an explosion

All of my life, I've been frozen

The sweetest devotion I've known

For his part, Daniel Yoon's mind was blank, every thought nonexistent as he stood in his bedroom, the light breeze sneaking in from the open window caressing his now flushed skin as the words that slipped through Margot's lips filled the air and reached his ears. 'Pregnant' That was the first and only word that the private detective could conjure up and highlight within his mind and with that single word came a clashing of all his emotions on his being, his jumbled mind finally able to make sense of what he had heard slip with Margot Bishop's lips. 'Pregnant' She was pregnant. As in carrying a baby, as in having a tiny human being growing in her womb, a human being that was part Margot Bishop and part Daniel Yoon.

And then it hit him like a ton of bricks free falling on him, he was going to be a dad, just that word alone sent an instantaneous love and infinite adoration to fill his body for that little person currently growing stronger inside the women that held his heart in the palm of her hand. Instantly, without pause the man in the room leaped across the room, his face set with a determination and love that could only be interpreted as having something akin to an epiphany, not giving the now very confused women in the room time to react before he sealed his lips with hers in a toe curling, heart pounding kiss. His hands weaved into her blonde curls as he devoured her mouth, his hands keeping her in place and the force of his passion and love for her granted him a breathy moan as he felt her teeth pull at his lower lip.

I'll forever be whatever you want me to be

I'll go under and all over for your clarity

When you wonder if I'm gonna lose my way home

Just remember, that come whatever, I'll be yours all alone

"You're pregnant." It was said as a statement not a question as they left Danny's kiss swollen lips, the thought of that word and the life altering meaning of them had brought shock to Danny's system but to actually articulate those precious words just made the whole meaning of that word more absolute than anything he's ever heard. Made his heart beat a mile a minute as he felt the words wash over him, he could actually see his life altering, rearranging in Technicolor right before his eyes.

Margot nods her head slightly as tears streamed down her face, she could very much blame the pregnancy hormones for the tears, but at that moment as she felt Danny's warm and strong hands framing her tear soaked cheeks. Her ability to articulate a word failed her because her throat was closed up from the salty moisture settling in her eyes from the myriad of emotions threatening to spill out of her as she gazed into his also misty eyes that were shining with so much awe and love directed at her that Margot felt like weeping even more. She didn't know what to say, how to articulate all the fear, happiness and doubts swirling in her when Danny was looking at her as if she just gave him the moon in a silver platter.

I've been looking for you, baby

In every face that I've ever known

And there is something 'bout the way you love me

That finally feels like home

"Thank you." Danny whispered as he rubbed the tip of his nose with hers in a loving Eskimo kiss, and pecked her lips. He took a second just to feel her quivering lips on his before he dropped to the floor on his knees, his hands on either side of her hips and brought his face inches away from her still flat stomach. "Hi there, I'm your daddy." The elated man whispered in bewilderment as he felt Margot's soft hands curl in his hair and a soft tearful laughter escaped her lips at his words.

"Hi daddy, I can't wait to meet you. I know I love you already because I can feel my mummy love you. Oh! I have eyelids now, I know they are going to be used so I can see you when I grow and can see the world outside mummy's warmth."

"Are you planning on talking to my stomach for the next 7 months?" Margot asked the man still kneeling before her with mock annoyance. Her hand never easing up her ministrations as her hands massage his skull with her fingers and her eyes saw him glare at her playfully before feathering kisses at her stomach until she was giggling in a way she'd hadn't done since she was a small child - a lifetime ago.

"Yep." The kneeling man stated childishly between kisses, he was planning on talking to her belly, to his child every day, tell him or her how much he loved them, how excited he was to be a father. God, a Father, he was actually going to be a father; a person was going to be dependent on him for the rest of his life. That thought shot straight through him and he felt a sense of responsibility, a realization that all he's been planning on doing throughout his life, all the things he had accomplished, all he had done was completely and undoubtedly pointless, worthless and insignificant compared to what he was now; a dad. In less than 7 months he will be a dad, the greatest title he could ever be privileged to have and all because of that women in front of him, currently looking at him with those eyes that could pierce his soul and make him do absolutely everything for her, hell he's done everything for her; killed a man for her, and he would do it all again. He would take all the blows, all the heartache and headache that came with loving Margot Bishop if it means he would get the kisses, the smiles, the laughter, the lessons she always taught him about life without her even realizing that every second he was with her his world became more colorful, less black and white and he could glimpse at the layers that everyone had instead of labeling them 'good' and 'bad' as he had regretfully and ignorantly had done before the perfect tornado also known as the women carrying his child showed him what a human really was and that no one was fully good or fully bad; a good person could do bad things and a bad person could do good thing, layers, everyone had them. He would do it all, in every universe, in every form of reality if all of it could lead him to this moment, to the moment where he adds another layer to his persona, the most important and proudest layer he would ever shoulder; a dad.

You are my light, you're my darkness

You're the right kind of madness

And you're my hope, you're my despair

You're my scope of everything, everywhere
