Nursery Room Time

MESSER APARTMENT:

Danny was standing in the kitchen making breakfast for himself and Lindsay while she was sitting on a stool near the island in their kitchen filling out some paperwork.

"You know, we really should start painting a nursery soon," she said to Danny, looking up from her papers. "I mean, we've only got one month left before the baby gets here and this really should have been done ages ago." Danny turned and looked at her nodding his head.

"Yeah I know. Well, the lab is closed for the next couple of days, you know, with the reconstruction and everything being done. So how about we start tomorrow?"

"Sure, what colour are we going to paint it? As we don't know if the baby is a boy or girl I don't really want to paint it pink or blue as they're the typical colours. Also, I refuse to paint it red. I can't stand that colour." Danny laughed and nodded his head.

"Alright, so pink, blue, and red are out, and I really don't want to do it yellow. It seems like everyone paints their kids room yellow is they don't know if it's a boy or girl." Lindsay laughed and then thought for a moment.

"I'm not crazy about purple either," Lindsay said, "But what about green?" Danny considered for a minute as he got out plates and put two pancakes on a plate for Lindsay and then two for himself.

"Yeah, yeah green is a good colour."

"Alright, then we'll go out today and get the paint and everything else we're gonna need. Then tomorrow we can start painting." She took a bite of her pancake and looked at Danny who agreed to this idea. When they were done eating and had put their dishes in the dishwasher they went and got dressed. After this, they headed down to their car and left for the store. When they stopped at the light, Danny leaned over and took a CD out of the glove compartment, he put it in a turned it up slightly.

"AC/DC, really Danny?"

"Hey come on, what's wrong with a little AC/CD?" Lindsay put her hand on her stomach and laughed.

"Apparently nothing, the baby seems to like it." The rest of the ride was relatively quiet, Lindsay was slowly rubbing her stomach and staring out the window when the pulled up to the paint store. They went inside and looked around for a minute before going toward one of the isles.

"I don't want something too dark, but it shouldn't be too light either," Lindsay told Danny who nodded his head in agreement. They eventually found a green that they both agreed was perfect. Danny carried the two cans up to the counter and paid for it. They headed home and were just walking in the door when the phone rang.

"Danny I'm sorry, but could you get it?" Lindsay asked him.

"Yeah sure," Danny said smiling as Lindsay walked down the hall. He walked over to the phone and picked it up.

"Hello?"

"Hey Danno," Flack said, "How'd you like to join Mac, Adam, Hawkes, and myself at Sullivan's Bar for a few drinks? Jess and Stella want to get together with Lindsay. So, what do you say?"

"Yeah sure, but I'm not drinking alcohol. Lindsay can't drink it so I've given it up until after the baby's born."

"Yeah no problem, I'm doing the same thing. Mac and Adam have got big news. So…See you in about half an hour?"

"Yeah, see you then." Danny hung up the phone and turned to see Lindsay standing there watching him.

"What's going on?" she asked, walking forward and wrapping her arms around him. He rested his chin on her head and wrapped his arms around her too.

"Stella and Angell are going to come by soon and then I'm heading out to meet Mac, Don, Adam, and Hawkes. Apparently Mac and Adam have both got news to tell us." She nodded her head and inhaled his scent before tilting her head up and kissing his jaw. She took her hands and pulled his face down to hers, pressing her lips against his. Danny pulled away.

"Whoa, Montana, what's up with you?"

"We've got about twenty minutes, I hurt everywhere, and I just want to sit on the couch and kiss you," she said. Danny wasn't sure what to say. Lindsay was being totally truthful when she said this and he was not about to say no to kissing his girlfriend. Danny looked at her for another moment before leading her over to the couch and continued the kiss. They sat there with each other like that for twenty minutes until Danny finally looked at the clock.

"Linds, I gotta go. 'Sides, Stella and Angell will be here soon." Lindsay groaned, but nodded her head all the same. She sat up straight and looked at Danny.

"I wish Flack hadn't called, I just want to stay here with you."

"I know, but we'll continue tonight okay? I won't be out late." He got up and kissed the top of his head before heading to their bedroom to get his coat. He had just picked it up when Lindsay called his name.

"Danny!"

"Yeah? What is it Montana?" he asked looking for his keys.

"You may want to call Flack and cancel those plans."

"Why's that?"

"Because I'm having the baby." It took Danny a second to process what she had just said before he hurried out of the room to see her standing next to the couch leaning on it for support, one hand on her stomach. He hurried over to her and helped her sit on the couch.

"Are you sure this is real?" he asked her. She nodded her head looking at him.

"Alright, you just hang on one minute okay? I'll call Stella and tell her what's happening and she can call Mac to tell him where I am alright?" Lindsay nodded her head as she leaned back into the couch. Danny went over to the phone, picked it up, and dialed Stella's cell.

"Hello?"

"Hey, Stel, it's me. Listen Lindsay's having the baby so I'm taking her to the hospital. Can you call Mac and tell him what's happening?"

"Yeah sure Danny, I'll call him and then we'll head over to the hospital." He hung up the phone and went back over to Lindsay.

"Alright, come on. We're gonna head to the hospital now okay?" She nodded head and he helped her stand up. They walked out of the apartment, down to the car, and left for the hospital.

THE HOSPITAL:

About 45 minutes later they pulled into the parking lot. Lindsay's contractions had become a lot worse and were much closer together.

"I wish traffic hadn't been so bad, we would've been here sooner." She laughed slightly and they went inside. Lindsay was put into a wheelchair and placed in a room.

"You'll need to change into this," the nurse said holding out a blue hospital gown, "You might want your husband to help you." Then she turned and left the room, pulling the curtain around Lindsay's bed as she went. Danny helped Lindsay change and get into the bed. She had just gotten settled when another contraction hit.

"Ah, Danny," she said squeezing her eyes shut.

"Shhh, it'll pass Montana. It'll pass," he said quietly running his thumb over her hand. Lindsay was in labor for seven hours. Stella and Mac had both gone in to see them and find out how Lindsay was, but they hadn't stayed long because the doctor had gone in to check on her. Then, finally, Danny and Lindsay welcomed their little boy into the world.

"Hi, hi there little man," Lindsay said after the nurse handed him to her.

"So, are we going with the name we agreed for a boy?" Danny asked. Lindsay nodded her head and suggested he go and get the team. Danny left the room and went to the waiting area.

"It's a boy," he told them and they got up and hugged him.

"How's Lindsay?" Hawkes asked.

"She's good; she wants to see you guys." They all followed Danny down the hall and into Lindsay's room. This was the second time they were visiting her in the hospital. But this time it was much happier, for all of them. Lindsay was in there holding the baby and Danny went over and sat next to her.

"Hey, congratulations," Angell said.

"Thanks," Lindsay said smiling.

"Does he have a name?" Flack asked them. Danny and Lindsay nodded.

"This is Joshua Louie Messer," Lindsay told them.

"We're really happy for you guys," Stella told them, "But it's late and you're probably tired so we should go." The others agree with her but before they left Lindsay remembered something.

"Wait, Danny said that Mac and Adam had something to tell everyone," Lindsay said.

"Yeah what is this news?" Flack asked. Stella and Mac glanced at each other first and Mac nodded.

"I'm pregnant," Stella told them all. Her words were met with more congratulations and hugs.

"Alright, everyone knows our news now, Adam?" Everyone turned to look at him as Mac said this.

"What, are you pregnant too?" Flack quipped.

"Ha ha, very funny," Adam said sarcastically. He took a deep breathe and then took a picture of a small boy out of his wallet and showed them all.

"This is Jackson. His mom was a vic in a case a while back and his dad died shortly before he was born." They were all looking at him expectantly, waiting for more explanation.

"Jackson's uncle won't take him and he has no other family, so, I've decided to adopt him." Adam finished saying this and looked at the others who were all staring at him.

"Really?" Lindsay asked from her bed.

"Yeah, really," he said. He looked at them all waiting to hear what they thought.

"Adam that's amazing," Mac told him. Everyone agreed and they all hugged and congratulated him.

"Alright, now we really should go," Stella said noticing Lindsay yawning. They all said goodbye and left Danny and Lindsay on their own with their new baby boy.

"I'll be right back okay?" Danny said taking Josh from her arms and placing him in the bassinet next to her bed. She nodded her head and closed her eyes, exhausted. Danny left the room and went down the hall.

"Flack!" he called running down the all to catch up with them. Flack turned around and Danny ran up to him.

"Listen, I need a favor. Lindsay and I were going to do the room for the baby tomorrow and I was wondering if-"

"If me, Mac, Adam, Hawkes, and Sid could help and get it ready as a surprise for Lindsay?" Flack said. Danny nodded his head and Flack laughed.

"Sure Messer, no problem, and congratulations again by the way." Flack walked away and Danny went back to Lindsay room. She was still awake and Danny knew what he had to do now. He walked over to the bag in the corner of the room and heard Lindsay sit up in bed behind him. He turned and walked back over to the bad, she was watching him with a puzzled look on her face.

"I couldn't sleep, I wanted to wait until you were back in the room," she told him and he sat down on the edge of her bed. He just nodded his head and looked at her.

"It's Valentines Day," he said.

"Now we have more than love to celebrate on this day huh?" she said smiling. He nodded and then got down on one knee next to her bed. He took and deep breath and looked at her.

"Lindsay, ever since the day I saw you, I've loved you. I know I can be a total pain in the ass sometimes, but I'm trying. I hear the lab techs saying things about us all the time at work. Saying that we can't be a proper family because of what happened eight months ago. I want you to know that we will be a proper family. You, me, and Josh. So, Lindsay Monroe, Montana. Will you marry me?" He finished talked and opened a box with a small ring in it. She was speechless, but then after she realized it wasn't a dream she only had one thing to say…

There's the next chapter! Hope you guys liked it!

Thank you so much to everyone who has reviewed this story so far, it means so much to me!

Did you guys see Friday's episode, how adorable was Lucy? I wrote this story before Lindsay was ever pregnant on the show, hence why they have a boy named Josh and not Lucy. But trust me, I know where I'm going with this and I have big plans for this fanfic.

Thanks for reading and let me know what you think!
