Getting Better
Takes place after The Box
Lindsay groaned when she heard a loud knock at her door. Rolling over in bed, she checked the time on her alarm clock.
Seven o'clock in the morning! Who the hell is here that early?!
She decided to close her eyes and hope that whoever was at the door would just go away. The person didn't. In fact, whoever was there just kept knocking louder.
"Alright, alright, I'm coming," Lindsay grumbled as she slowly got out of bed.
When she opened her door, she was surprised to see Danny standing there.
"What are you doing here?" she asked.
"I was on my way to work so I just decided to stop by and see how you're feeling. And I brought you breakfast," he answered, holding up a bag and a cup of something.
Lindsay smiled, suddenly not so mad at being woken up early.
"What'd you bring me?" she asked, letting him come inside and set the stuff down on her kitchen table.
"I got you those powdered doughnuts you like so much, and I got you chocolate milk. I would have gotten coffee, but I read somewhere that pregnant women shouldn't drink caffeine. I also read that you shouldn't use microwaves, so if you ever need to heat something up, just call me."
Lindsay laughed, reaching into the bag for a doughnut. "Where did you read all of these facts?"
"On some website. I looked them up last night. I just want know some stuff so I can keep you, and the baby, healthy," he said.
"That's sweet of you," Lindsay said.
Danny smiled, then checked his watch. "I should go," he said, "I'll come by after work. We can have dinner together."
He gave her a quick kiss before he turned to leave. Lindsay couldn't keep the smile off her face as she watched him leave. After everything they'd gone through those past months, she was happy to see that things between them were finally getting better.
