Here is Chapter 4. hope you like it
Lindsay came slowly awake; she could tell it was morning. They had given her pain medication last night that had put her right out. She hadn't wanted to take it, she had wanted to see Danny, and she hadn't seen his since the EMT's arrived at the scene.
She opened her eyes and looked around her hospital room for the first time. It was a pretty standard plain room nothing special about it except they were a few bunches of flowers dotted around. There were all kinds, roses, lilies, carnations they were all very beautiful but the ones that held her attention were the ones on her bedside table. It was a small bunch flowers, like big daisies and flowering grasses. She smile and slowly put her hand out to touch them.
"So do you like them" she turned her head and saw Danny leaning against the door frame and smiled.
"They are beautiful" He looked beautiful she thought. He had on a clean shirt and jeans and he had recently shaved.
He walked in to the room and towards her bed. "Morning Montana" and gave her a little kiss on the lips. He pulled over the chair that was in the corner of the room and sat down and took hold of her hand.
"So how do you feel today?" his thumb gently stroking her hand has he spoke.
"Not bad, what about you?"
"Nothing much, just a few scratches"
"That's good"
"Yeah, even better, Mac gave me a few days off, so I can be with my girl"
"Don't be silly you don't want to be stuck in hospital"
"You said anything about being stuck? I'm collecting on our postponement"
"What do you mean?"
"You hungry?"
"What? Yeah, I guess why?"
He just grinned at her then went back over to the door, bent down and picked something out for the floor. It was a picnic basket. "I thought you would enjoy something other than hospital food" looking a bit sheepish as he came back into the room.
She smiled at him "thanks"
"Spoke to the doctors and they said you could sit up a bit" he put the basket down by the bed and then fiddled with some of the switches on the bed remote control, slowly the bed began to rise and Lindsay was sitting up. "Let me sort those pillows for you Hon, just put your arms around my neck."
He sorted her pillows for her and gently laid her back against the bed after kissing her forehead. He opened up the basket and started to take things out. The first thing was a tablecloth that he left half folded and spread it across her bed.
"I know I said yesterday, you, me and some Italian food but I thought this would be better for breakfast, anyway I can make you some Italian when you move into my place, and "
"What did you just say?"
"I said that I know I promised you ….
"No not that, after that"
"Oh that"
"Yeah that! What do you mean?"
"Well, I was thinking that when they let you leave here you should move in with me."
"Whoa there cowboy! It's a bit fast isn't it!"
"No, this is us Lindsay, you are going need someone around when you come out of hospital, I love you and want to take care of you." Taking her hand in his "Your place is a bit small for the pair of us together plus its 4 flights up and has no lift or anything. My place has a lift but I have a lot of memories there, things like Ruben and that and want a fresh start where it will be our place and so I have been looking at checking into the places available while you been asleep and think I have found us a really nice place, I'm taking al look at it later. Its close to the lab, looks bigger than mine too, has good security, lifts and its not that much more that what I'm paying now so we can afford it. What do you think."
She looked at him for a moment "What's with all the talk of lifts Danny? You know something I don't?"
"What do you mean?" Looking confused, then it dawned on him. "Don't be silly Montana!" He fished out at Danish for her, held it up to her mouth "Here eat your breakfast Hon".
She took the Danish and slowly began to munch on it waiting for Danny to continue.
"The doctors say we have to wait for the swelling on the spinal cord to go down before you even think about worrying about your legs, they say it's like your bodies defense mechanism. What ever happens it will be fine coz we are together. It is one of the reasons I'm looking for a place with a lift, but I am also thinking" grinning like a Cheshire cat "that I don't fancy bringing the bike up by the stairs" he paused " or the pram"
"Pram"
"Yeah, I'd love a bunch of little Montana's running around the place."
"You're a big softy really aren't you" he smiled, she looked at him and said "give me a kiss"
"With pleasure, just don't tell Flack" As his lips met hers the kiss became quite heated very quickly. His hands gently began stroking stomach then moving up towards her breasts, Lindsay hands rubbing his back.
"Hey, this is a hospital room, not a peep show guys" Flack grinned from the doorway "Put the girl down, and step away from the bed" he said in a cop tone.
Lindsay went bright red.
"So can I take it that you guys are together now"
"Yeah, you can" answered Lindsay "In fact, we maybe moving in together"
"No maybe about it babe" responded Danny
"Well thank god for that, we were all being to think you would never sort things out. Hey is that Danish and coffee I smell?" He went to the door way and shouted down the corridor "Hurry up guys – there non hospital food and drink in here"
"What the …." started Danny, then he saw the rest of the team pile into Lindsay room. "I don't think there is going to be enough coffee everyone!!"
"Don't worry Danny, I stopped at the coffee shop on the way here" stated Stella, smiling at him. "So how are things Lindsay"
"Everything great except I am going to stuck in here"
"Don't worry about it kiddo, just enjoy the rest"
They all stayed in Lindsay room for an hour or so and one by one they left until Danny was the only one still left. He was sitting on the bed beside her with his arm over her shoulders, he looked at his watch and saw the time.
"Dam is it that late? I got that appointment for that apartment in half an hour, I had better make tracks" he gave a quick kiss " I have my phone so will take pictures of each room to show you when I get back, back soon babe"
With a wave from the door he was gone.
'That man is on a mission' she thought with a smile after he left, looking at her legs, she still couldn't feel anything, she tried to move her toes but nothing happened.
A feeling of deep disappointment filled her.
