Lil' Montana
Chapter 7
Lindsay rushed into the break room to find Rosie curled up in Danny's arms, sound asleep. Seeing that her daughter look alright, she let out the breath that she had been holding. Danny noticed that she had arrived and put his finger up to his mouth, telling her to be quite. Lindsay quietly came and sat down next to him on the couch, stroking Rosie's caramel curls.
" She's alright. Must have tired herself out from her crying" Danny said seeing the concern lingering in her eyes.
Lindsay nodded, trying to convince herself what Danny had said was true.
" What happened?"
" She came looking for me. Wanted to give me this" he said picking up the drawing of brightly coloured scribbles. A pinkish coloured stick person with short spiky yellow hair was holding hands with a smaller pink person with brown wavy hair and what looked to be like a tiger in the background. "I think she thought she was lost, cause she was looking in all of the labs and couldn't find me. I went to and meet her in the hallway but by the time I had gotten there, her breathing was weird and then she just collapsed to the floor." Danny said shaking his head, remembering what had happened. " Does it happen often?"
" Depends really. She gets smaller attacks quite often and ones like this at least twice a month. That's if she's lucky" Lindsay sighed.
" Have there been worse?"
" Yeah, a few times. She's had to be admitted into hospital quite a bit in her life already. She hates it there. Not that I blame her."
" Poor kid. There's nothing you can do?"
" You can decrease the severity and number of them if you give her, her puffer every night, but apart from that no. She's stuck with it for life unless she grows out of it, but I don't think that will happen. She's got it to severe"
They sat in comfortable silence, watching the little girl sleep. She looked so peaceful, so innocent, as if all the troubles of the world had just disappeared. She looked like an angel. An angel sent from Montana.
" How's Rosie doing?" Hawkes asked as he met up with Lindsay after lunch. Danny and herself had taken the little girl out to get something to eat once she had woken up.
" She's fine, nothing a strawberry milkshake couldn't cure" Lindsay said with a smile while Hawkes chuckled. It was now a well known fact that if you gave the little Montanan girl a strawberry milkshake, her troubles would fly out the window. " She's in the break room with Danny. She convinced Mac to let Danny watch Dora the Explorer with her."
"Wow, how'd she do that? I thought it was only Stella that could persuade Mac?!" Hawkes said in astonishment.
" The puppy dog eyes and pout trick always works, even on people such as Mac"
" Ahh. Maybe I should try that when I want a day off."
" I don't think you could pull that of Shel." Lindsay said chuckling at the ME's idea.
" Well it never hurts to try!"
" Ok, I do you a deal. If you can convince Mac to let you have a day off when you want one, I'll buy you breakfast for the next month." Lindsay said seeing his eye's shine once he heard her offer. " BUT, if he says no, you have to buy Rosie strawberry milkshakes for the next week."
" How come you have to buy for a month but I only have to for a week?"
" She drinks A LOT of milkshake. Unless you want to pay for a month. I'm sure she'd be very happy"
" Oh no, no, a weeks fine"
Lindsay laughed "I thought so"
" What did Dora do today then?" Stella asked with a smile Danny when she met him in the lab, going over some evidence.
" Shut up "
" No seriously, what did you go and explore?" Stella said laughing, not able to keep it in anymore. " Was it the mysterious jungle monsters? Or was it the sea cave with bats?"
" I said shut up, Stel!" Danny said trying to hide his smirk
" Come on, let it out. You know I'm funny!"
"Yes Stella, your funny, smart and beautiful so will you drop it now?"
" Maybe seeing as you paid me such a nice compliment"
" Is there any other reason for you being here except for making me blush?"
" Nope"
" Well, will you leave me alone then?!"
" Nope"
" Do you say anything other than nope?"
" Nope"
It was the end of the day and Lindsay was in her and Danny's office, tiding up the last few bits of her case, when Danny walked in.
" What you still doin' here Montana? Go be with ya daughta"
" I just have to finish this up then , I'm going"
" Let me do it, I'm sure Rosie's been bored stuck here all day"
" You sure?"
" Yep, go ahead. Have a nice night Montana"
" Thanks Danny. For everything."
" Your welcome Lindsay. Now go"
Lindsay smiled and turned around and walked out the door when Danny called her back.
" Montana!"
" Yeah?"
" Your working tomorrow right?"
" Yeah why?"
"I was wondering if ya wanted me to take Rosie for the day. I'm not on shift and I ain't got nothin' better to do"
" Danny, I couldn't ask you to do that on your day off. It's fine I'll just bring her here again."
" Nah, its fine. I would like to do it. Really"
Lindsay considered it for a moment " Well.. if your sure… I'm suppose you could. Just don't take her any place where she'll get hurt."
" No worries Montana. I wouldn't do that."
" Ok, she'll like that a lot. Thanks Danny"
" Great! I'll pick her up at your place at what… 9?"
" Yeah that'd be good. Thanks Danny"
" No problem. See ya tomorrow"
" Bye"
Lindsay turned to walk down the hall for the second time before she heard Danny call out
" And make sure she's wearing something she can run in!"
Sorry that chapter wasn't very interesting! I just needed a concetion to take place! The next one will be good! I promise!!!
