Danny walked back into the bedroom and handed the large glass of homemade orange juice to Lindsay. She took it and smiled, sipping at it.
"This is really nice." She said, kind of shocked that the homemade orange juice didn't taste of the bits etc. Danny raised his eyebrows and a grin formed on his face.
"Why so shocked Montana?" he literally sing songed.
She rolled her eyes and drank some more of the orange juice, ignoring him. When the glass was empty, she set it on the table and grabbed the test boxes.
"You didn't like that then." Danny laughed, moving in closer to her and wrapping his hands around her waist. She smiled and leaned in against him. They both looked down at the boxes in Lindsay's hands. Lindsay could almost hear the rapid heart beat from Danny's chest, and her heart decided to mimic its rhythm. For the first time in years, Lindsay Monroe was nervous. The only time she had been nervous, was that time when she stood infront of the murderer that haunts her dreams. But no, Lindsay Monroe was never nervous. Not even on her first day as a CSI in NY, even though Danny didn't make her day easy. She giggled and Danny looked at her curiously.
"What?" he whispered.
She shook her head and giggled some more. "nothing." she sweetly smiled at him and rested her head against his chest.
Danny Messer would deny the fact that he was nervous. Of course, if he told Flack that he was nervous he wouldn't hear the end of it. But he was. And he didn't even have to tell Lindsay that he was, because she knew him, could read him like a book…a book that she helped to write. Danny always had that brave hero thing about him, whenever there was danger he would jump straight in, to save anyone close to him. Whenever there was a suspect running on the rooftops of New York, Danny wouldn't hesitate and stop to think about the consequences of him falling. But sitting on the bed with his future fiancé…future wife…future mother maybe, he was nervous. Maybe because this was a brand new experience for him. He never believed in love before Lindsay Monroe stepped inside the tiger cage, before she told him that they should take it slow, did that stop him? No, it made him more determined to chase her, to win her. And Danny Messer was a winner. He was anxious about being a father. He didn't exactly have anybody to learn from. His father was either drunk and passed out in some bar, or abusive to his ma. So most of the time, Danny's childhood was spent at baseball games, friends houses, or in makeshift tree houses. Lindsay looked up at him and saw in his eyes that he was thinking about something. She bit her lip and kept staring, trying to read something in his eyes.
"You're going to make a brilliant father." she snapped him out of his reverie and he looked down at her, denial in his eyes. Before he could object to Lindsay's statement, she pressed her soft finger to his lip.
"You're not going to be like your father, Danny. This child is going to love you as much as I do." She grabbed his hand and placed it on her stomach. He smiled and rubbed her stomach with his hand, Lindsay's on top of his. They spent two minutes sitting in silence, enjoying each other's company, snuggled together against the headboard. Lindsay felt that it was time that she verified that Danny was going to be a fantastic father. She pulled away from his grasp and grabbed the boxes. Taking a deep breath, she walked towards the bedroom.
Turning around she flashed Danny a huge smile, which he returned with his own. He crossed his fingers to her and she closed the door behind her. Danny sighed and tried to control his nerves, which were over powering him as the minutes passed. It seemed like Lindsay was taking hours. Danny patted his legs making up a rhythm trying to distract his mind to make the time go quicker. Before he knew it, the handle to the bathroom door turned and Lindsay walked in, holding three sticks. She bit her lip as she looked down at them, the results not yet showing. Danny immediately rushed to her side and took the sticks from her.
"I have a little idea." Danny said, as Lindsay nodded and sat down on the bed. Danny walked up to the chest of drawers, which stood opposite the bed. He placed on stick on the top. Then he walked to another smaller chest table, which had lilies on, and daisies, which sat near the left side of the bed near the window. He placed one stick on there too. Then he walked to the other side, the right side of the bed, and placed the stick on top of a smaller table, which housed bits and bobs like spare batteries and spare change. He placed the final stick on there before returning to Lindsay's side on the bed. He wrapped his arm around her and she moved so she was sitting on his knees. The three things that would determine their future circled them, creating a barrier that separated Danny and Lindsay from the present and the future. Now they had to wait. It seemed like they were waiting a lifetime for three results. Lindsay grabbed the empty box that lay on the bed and read it.
"It says the result gives it in words. That's ok then, because sometimes the lines are weird." She said. Danny nodded at stared at her. She was the most beautiful thing that he had ever seen. Her chocolate hair framed her face angelically and her deep brown eyes were pools that he just wanted to get lost in and drown into them. She looked back at him and she felt the same way. Danny's eyes were beautiful, the first thing that anyone saw, and the first thing that drew them in, the blue was a deep sea that Lindsay just wanted to swim in, and his hair just asked for hands to roam in. she smiled at him and leaned in, and he took her chin into his hand. He tipped her head up high enough so he could have more access, and they kissed the time away. When they pulled apart, it was time. Lindsay didn't want to look at the results.
"Why?" Danny questioned, worried about her.
She smiled. "I just…I just want you to find it out first." She said, caressing his cheek. He smiled and kissed her nose. Getting up he made his way to little table full of bits and bobs. Lindsay's eyes didn't part from him, even though she couldn't see any facial expressions, and he wasn't saying anything. He made his way to the chest of drawers and peered down at the results. He was giving away no evidence of the answer. He only spent 1 second at the final table before Lindsay couldn't take it anymore. She practically leaped off the bed and followed Danny's footsteps. She looked at the first stick and her breathing stopped. She caught it again, ran to the second, then to Danny's side, and glanced at the final test. Her world started to spin in the other direction. Her eyes were wide and her breathing was heavy, and a large smile formed on her lips. Danny's eyes were filling up with tears and he wiped them from his face. He caught Lindsay as she leaped into his arms, and he spun her around.
"WE'RE PREGNANT!" she screamed with joy and Danny laughed and nodded.
"Yes!" he shouted. Lindsay threw her arms up into the air and then wrapped them around Danny's neck, leaning down and kissing him hard. It was a different kiss. A kiss, which would start a whole new level. Their relationship just doubled in its size. Danny dropped Lindsay down onto the edge of the bed and clambered on top of her, sending her backwards. She smiled a teasing smile.
"We're going to have to celebrated Mr Messer." She said, with a tone that almost made Danny lose control. His temper ended up being lost, as two tones started echoing in the living room. Danny and Lindsay both shared a disappointed smile and Danny got off of Lindsay, officering his hand out to pull her to her feet.
"Looks like we're going to have to celebrate tonight." Danny offered, squeezing Lindsay's hand as they made their way to the two devils, which had ruined their party.
"It's a date." She giggled, before parting from his grip and they both answered their cells.
Work called. Danny knew that Lindsay wanted to keep this a secret, and he wanted to keep it a secret too, obeying her wishes. It was too early for people to know. It may jinx them. But it was going to be a hard job keeping something this big a secret. Lindsay knew this especially, seeing as her best friend, Stella, was one of the greatest investigators ever.
