Lindsay was awake and talking by the time Stella had arrived at her room. When Lindsay saw her friend her eyes lit up.
"Hey Stel"
"Heya Linds, how are ya feeling?"
"I'm good, considering what's happened" Stella walked over to Lindsay's bed and sat on the chair next to it.
"How long you been awake then? When Danny left he said you were still sedated"
"Only about 20 minutes, and to think they thought I wasn't going to pull through"
"Yeh I heard about that, great news about Danny though"
"Great? It's awesome. If I pulled through this I would have told him how I felt, I am so glad he admitted it"
"So, you two gonna 'go out'"
"I dunno, depends how he reacts to Morgan"
"Morgan?" Stella looked slightly confused, she had never heard of anyone called Morgan before.
"Oh sorry. Morgan is my son, only you, Mac and Flack know about him. I can't see Danny the fatherly type"
"I'm sure he will be fine with it…so tell me more about Morgan"
"Ok, he is 3 years old, looks like me mostly and he is quite a troublemaker"
"He sounds like a kid I would like. Who is his dad? Do I know him?"
"I think you knew him, you have to promise not to tell anyone though"
"Secret's safe with me"
"Its Flacks brother, Patrick"
Stella put her hand to her mouth to stop her from squealing in shock
"How long have you been with Patrick?"
"I was with him for about 2 years then we broke up when I was pregnant" Lindsay paused "and last year he died in a car accident"
"You're raising a kid on your own?"
"No no, Flack is helping out and his parents are great with him"
"So does he live with you or..?"
"He lives with me and don"
Stella jaw dropped
"You live with Don?"
"Yes, I have lived with him for about a year and a half now"
"Are you and flack together?"
"No, we just live together, and sorta share a kid. Anyway he has a girlfriend – I wouldn't ruin their relationship"
Flack walked into the room carrying Lindsay's hospital bag, in one hand, and he held onto the hand of a small child with the other. He glanced at Stella then to Lindsay.
"It's ok Don, she knows"
"Good, I wasn't sure how I would explain this if not"
He placed her bag at the end of her bed and let Morgan climb up on the bed to his mum.
"Linds, I'm off now"
"ok, I'll see ya later"
"Ok, lemme know if you need anything"
"Will do"
"Bye"
Flack left the room, leaving the two women with Morgan.
"So, this is Morgan" Stella commented.
"Yep, Morgan: this is your auntie Stella" She turned Morgan so he could face Stella.
Lindsay was having some trouble trying to adjust Morgan's position. Stella reached over and took Morgan from Lindsay's and placed him on her lap.
"Thanks" Lindsay smiled.
"Anytime"
At the lab Danny was finishing up what he was doing and he was ready to leave.
"Danny" Mac called from the doorway.
Danny turned to face his boss.
"I would appreciate it if you didn't go back to visit Lindsay, Stella is there right now and I don't want to over crowd Lindsay"
"Ok" Danny said with some disappointment in his voice.
"You have tomorrow off, now, so you can spend time with Lindsay then"
"Jeez, thanks Mac"
Stella had been at the hospital for just over an hour, she and Lindsay had been discussing Lindsay's past.
"Oh my God, we have been talking for an hour," Stella said, looking at her watch.
"Oh, do you have to go or something?"
"Er yeh, I am really sorry"
"It's ok…I guess I'll see you later"
"Hang on, how about you stay at my place tonight then I can take you home in the morning"
"That'd be great, what about Morgan though – would he be able to stay too?"
"Sure, do you need anything or are ya good to go now?"
"I'm good to go, the sooner the better"
"Ok, I'll sign you out and gather your things, I'll wait for you in reception" Lindsay nodded "do you want me to take him with me?"
"Yeh thanks"
Stella got Morgan off her lap and walked out of Lindsay room, holding his hand.
