CSI NY High School
Chapter7: It's a Date
Mac laid down on his couch to take a nap. The guys had all gone their separate ways. Sheldon was texting Tamara when he left. Danny was going to go check on Lindsay she was probably at home getting ready for the weekend. Adam was going to buy some chicken soup and take it to Kendall. Don was on his way to the field to practice before the game.
Mac on the other hand was daydreaming about his after game date. Stella was special hell the date was a once in a lifetime thing. Their first date it had to be absolutely perfect. Even though it was overdue and after a Friday night football game Mac was going to make it great.
Stella and Jess sat on Lindsay bed waiting for her when she came in with the stick. The girls watched her and held their breath. Lindsay looked at them her face as pale as a ghost. "I'm pregnant."
All the girls were speechless they just stared at each other. Jess was the first to break the silence. "Well know at least we know for sure."
Lindsay sat down in the desk chair she was still a little in shock.
Stella didn't know what to say she had never been in a situation like this before. Lindsay was one of her best friend and she had no words of comfort. 'Linds you know were here for you whatever you need. Two in the morning and you want chocolate or some weird craving I'm there."
Jessica and Lindsay both smiled Jessica's was full blown while Lindsay's was more shy. Jessica grabbed Lindsay's hand and said, "Absolutely."
Stella smiled they were going to be okay they had to be they could do anything as long as they were there for each other.
Mac woke up around five thirty and decided to take a shower and get dressed he would have just enough time before he needed to get Stella. Since they were going to a football game he decided to wear a pair of slim straight leg denim jeans a helix stripped shirt and a black Columbia leather jacket. After getting dressed he headed out to the car he would pick her up at Jess's house.
Danny arrived at home laying his stuff in his room he went to get ready to pick up Lindsay. Danny was wearing Jeans and a striped white and grey crewneck long sleeved tee. As he headed out he grabbed his hooded denim jacket from the table in the hall. He got on his bike and started off.
Adam had bought the soup and went to Kendall's but Kendall's mom wouldn't let him see her. Adam had dragged himself back home his dad had been gone the whole week probably at some bar or something. His dad did that occasionally when he got to drunk to walk or drive home. Adam walked up the stairs to his room grabbed his rugby striped fleece hoodie and headed to the football game he might as well support the school if he couldn't see Kendall.
Sheldon looked in the mirror at his image he was wearing a nature '80' tee with some relaxed boot cut jeans and an antiqued cotton jacket. On the way out Sheldon grabbed his keys and his cell phone that had the directions to Tamara's house on it. She had decided to go to the football game after all Sheldon had been Getting help from Don about what football was actually about. He got in to his car and turned on the GPS and put the directions in. He started the engine and went headed for his destination.
Don was in the locker getting ready for the game that would be going on soon him and the rest of the guys usually goofed off a little bit before the game to make them more relaxed let some of the pressure go. He knew Jess and Sam would be out there rooting for him. Don smiled and got ready to leave the locker room in his green uniform number 14.
Stella was at Jess's house that had been there ever since they left Mac's. She had gotten dressed for her date there she wanted to stay with Lindsay make sure she was okay but Jess and Lindsay said they would push her out the door when Mac got there if they had to. Stella was wearing. A pair on VS siren legging jeans and a black rib tank.
Jess sat in the living room on the couch her legs drawn up back against the armrest. Lindsay was just the same on the other sided biting her thumbnail. Lindsay hadn't just argued with Stella over the date but with Jess too. She needed to be there for Don he was after all her boyfriend. Jess didn't care she wasn't going to leave Lindsay by herself even if the girl wanted to be alone.
Lindsay didn't know if she should be happy or sad a baby was suppose to be a joyous thing. Lindsay though was still in high school and she didn't know how to take care of a kid she was never the babysitting type and she was the youngest in her family. She didn't know how Danny would react to the news but she did know she had to tell him.
Tamara sat in her living room waiting for Sheldon to get there. She really did like him and after considering it she figured out the football was a way for her to spend more time with him. Tamara was wearing VS hipster boot cut jeans a cap sleeve scoop neck red top and a black fleece graphic hoodie.
When Mac got to Jess's he finally started getting butterflies in his stomach. He decided to try to act casual and knocked on the door. When Jess answered the door he noticed she was dressed in a pair of sweat and didn't look like she was going out. "Jess shouldn't you be getting ready?" Mac asked.
Jess hesitated but the answered, "I'm not going to the game I'm staying home I don't feel good and Linds offered to stay with me."
Mac noticed Lindsay was sitting in Jess's living room on the couch she seemed pre- occupied.
Stella was freaking out she knew Mac had just arrived when she heard the knock at the door but she didn't want to go down the stairs. She had went to millions of games with him before but this one seemed so different because of the date word.
Stella took in a deep breath at the top of the stairs and then let it out. She stilled herself and Calmly started down the Stairs she kept her eyes open even though she furiously wanted to close them.
Mac noticed as Stella came walking down the stair. His stomach tightened while a smile appeared on his face. She looked Beautiful like always she was the Greek goddess coming down from Olympus.
As Stella reached the bottom she was brightly smiling it had gotten bigger each step she took down. Mac looked handsome like he always did. Stella started to wonder what he would look like in a tux. "Hey", Stella said lost in the moment of her Cinderella story.
Mac smiled and answered Hey back trying not to break the serene happiness of the moment.
Jess almost laughed at the pure Kodak moment because it was just to cute. "Okay would hate to break this short but you two really need to get going if you're going to arrive on time." Jess started ushering the two out.
Danny walked from Lindsay's door back to his bike. Lindsay apparently wasn't there she was spending the night at Mac's which he knew because they all were but Lindsay wasn't at Mac's either. So Danny decided to go to the only other place he knew she could be and that was Jess's house. Danny stated up his bike and drove off.
Jess decided to call Don before the game so he wouldn't worry. She got his voicemail when there was a knock at the door. Lindsay was getting popcorn they had decided to watch Lost Boys. So Jess ended the call and went to answer the door. When Jess saw Danny she closed her eyes and whispered a curse.
Mac and Stella met up with Sheldon, Tamara, Adam, and Sam. "Where's Danny?' Stella asked sitting down next to Sam with Mac on her right. Everyone shrugged and looked towards the field. The song Started and the football players started walking out.
"Is Lindsay here?" Danny asked and Jess was stuck if she said no she would be lying and hearing about after he finally figured out what was going on. Also if she said yes she didn't know if Lindsay really wanted to talk to him yet. Seems her and Lindsay forgot that Danny was going to want to know what was going on.
Lindsay was walking out of the kitchen when she froze and walked back in. Danny was at the door she knew she had to tell him but that didn't make it any easier. She almost died telling her best friends how was she suppose to tell Danny.
"Um… could you excuse me for a minute" Jess says and is about to close the door when Danny's arm stops her.
"Jess where's my girlfriend?"
Lindsay closed her eyes took a deep breath and then walked over to the door, "right here."
They were in the second inning and Danny still hadn't shown up Stella was starting to worry.
Mac watched as Stella bit her bottom lip that usually meant something was bothering her. Mac took of his Jacket laid it on her shoulders and put his arm around her pulling her close. "Hey everything okay?" He asked.
Stella snuggled closer to Mac and could smell the cologne he used, "Fine just wondering about where Danny is."
"I'm sure he's fine probably just hanging with Jess and Lindsay."
Yeah that's what I'm worried about Stella thought.
Danny and Lindsay sat in Jess's room why Jess waited downstairs. Danny had absolutely no idea what was going on but for once he could say he was actually scared. Lindsay wasn't acting normal she seemed sort out of it like she was miles away. She was nervous that was obvious because she kept biting her thumbnail, "Linds, what's going on?"
Lindsay looked up hearing her name she kept getting lost in her thought. Lindsay had absolutely no idea what to say. How was she suppose to tell her boyfriend she was pregnant.
Lindsay looked at Danny and drew her knees up she was on Jess's bed at the top while Danny was setting in a chair close to the edge of the bed.
Lindsay noticed she was biting her nail and immediately stopped. "Danny… oh my God I think I'm going to be sick." Lindsay said and ran to the bathroom.
Danny followed after her but the door was locked, "Lindsay" He aid softly knocking on the door. "Please tell me what's wrong, I'm really worried" Danny said softly.
Lindsay sat on the floor her head leaning against the wall the palms of her hands against the cool tile. She wanted to cry but knew that would just worry Danny more.
After two minutes that seemed like forever Lindsay came out of the bathroom. She had a hand on her belly and looked at Danny.
Danny had stood up when she came out he had been sitting on the bed now he stood a few inches away from her.
Lindsay took a deep breath closing her eyes then she opened them, "I'm pregnant."
Tamara smiled and watched as Sheldon tried explaining everything to hear it was like he was reading it from a book.
Adam sat between Sheldon who was talking to Tamara and Sam who was cheering like crazy for their team. She wore a green t- shirt with the school football team on it and she had green and silver paint on her face. She had long brown hair and brown eyes she was a lot like her older brother. She loved sports and her and Jess got along great. Sam cheered again as their team made another point.
Stella had Mac's jacket fully on it getting colder the longer they were outside. Mac had his arm around her keeping her close to him. Mac was watching the game but was also starting to worry about Danny usually he would show up just to make appearance or call someone to say he wasn't coming.
Stella sat there in Mac's embrace it comforted and calmed her. She still wondered how Lindsay was. Danny had to be with her and Jess it was the only plausible explanation.
Danny didn't know what to do or say he was overcome with different emotions he couldn't sort them all out. "A-are you sure?"
Lindsay was feeling sick again except this time she didn't think it was because of the pregnancy. Lindsay shook her head, " I took a test but I still need to see a doctor to be sure."
Danny ran a hand through his fair making it spike up a little bit more than usual. Danny walked over to Lindsay and laid his hands on her shoulders. "I'm here Linds for you and our baby."
Lindsay circled her hands around Danny's waist and cried laying her head on his chest. Danny put his arms around her and hugged her close. He told her everything would be okay.
When the game ended Tamara and Sheldon left Sheldon needed to drive Tamara home. Adam went on his way calling Kendall to see if she was up and how she was doing. Don and Sam promised to stop by Jess's to see how she was doing and to see if Danny was there would call if something was wrong.
They would probably all end back up at Mac's before the night was over that's were everyone was going to spend the weekend at.
Mac and Stella his arm around her headed for his car the butterflies had come back with a vengeance.
Mac had to let Stella go so they could get in the car and he immediately missed her. Getting into the car he started the engine and started off a few minutes into the ride and Mac took Stella's hand in his hand missing the contact.
Stella felt Mac's warm hand take her and she held on it was helping calm her butterflies she still didn't know why she was worried. Correct that she knew it was Mac the one guy she actually had always wanted to ask her out and now here she was on a date with him.
Emily Monroe walked in to her house after her MAPP class. It had taken about an few hours everyday this week and she was done. Now al she had to do was make sure Stella wanted this. They would sign some papers and Stella would become part of the Monroe family.
Mac and Stella start in the heart of Manhattan between 6th and 7th Avenue. Mac had made reservations at a place called Trattoria Dopo Teatro it was an Italian restaurant. They walked in the place was crowded because it was in the heart of Manhattan but they were seated immediately. The place had a romantic atmosphere. The décor was beautiful and the indoor garden was magnificent.
The had an Italian waiter named Roberto who was great. Since neither were legal wine was out of the question but the food was great. Mac had Gnocchi with Gorgonzola sauce, Stella had perfectly cooked pappardelle. Then for dessert they shared a piece a tiramisu It is made of savoiardi dipped strong coffee , layered with a whipped mixture of egg yolks, mascarpone, and sugar, and topped with cocoa. It was great and then they decided to take a walk around the block before heading home.
They kept their hands clasped together as they walked. "So are you going to tell me what's really going on tonight?'
Stella looked up at Mac, "What do you mean?"
Mac smiled, "Jess is a horrible liar I know she not sick so why didn't they come to the game?"
Stella sighs, "It's not my place to tell you Mac."
Mac nods his head, "at least tell me everything's sorted out."
"I wish I could", Stella says, "But I don't know if it is right know it's to early to tell."
Mac rubs his thumb on the back of Stella's hand to help soothe her worry, "Don't worry gorgeous everything will works it way out it did for us."
Stella smiles up at him, "you're the perfect boyfriend do you know that?"
Mac just smiled at her and pulled hr closer next to him putting his arm around her shoulders. Stella put her arms around his waist and they walked on.
Don stopped at Jess's to pick her up he noticed Danny's bike in the driveway and knew he must be there because of Lindsay. Don knocked and Jess answered the door smiling happy to see her boyfriend. "Hey babe how was the game?"
Don looked at Jess skeptically, "Mac said you were sick but you seem unusually happy. Do you mind telling me what's going on?"
Jess smiles, "It will all be revealed later on at Mac's So let's getting going she says getting her coat."
Don frowns, "What about Danny and Linds?"
"They'll get there on their own let's go" Jess says and pulls Don with her to his car.
When Mac and Stella got to Mac's that night everyone was in the living room talking and playing around.
Adam and Sheldon were sitting on opposite sides of the coffee table playing chess. Don and Jess sat on the left side of the sectional his arm around her. Lindsay and Danny sat on the right. Danny was trying to keep Lindsay calm and kept a hold of her hand reassuring her he was there.
Mac took Stella's hand and they sat down in the middle. Mac and Don, Adam, and Sheldon had no idea what was going on but the girls were just waiting. When Danny and Lindsay got up in front of everyone the girls held their breath while the guys waited to know what was going on.
Lindsay kept a hand on her stomach she didn't know why but it helped her nerves. Everybody was looking at her and Danny waiting for an explanation for tonight's events.
Lindsay closed her eyes for a second then opened them Danny still held her hand. She looked at everyone and said, "Were pregnant."
No one knew what to say they all just fell silent it was slowly killing her. "Come on guys say something" Lindsay pleaded.
"I guess congratulations is in order", Mac said still trying to wrap his mind around what she just said.
Don just sat there in shock he didn't know what to say in any other setting he'd be happy for them but they were in their Junior year of high school and Danny could hardly take care of himself. "Are you keeping it?' Don asked.
Everyone looked at him, "of course there keeping it", Jess said. "Why wouldn't they?"
"Are you serious, you two can't possibly take care of a baby."
Jess got up from where she was sitting, "that's why were here there are friends and we will help support them."
Don got up, "A baby isn't what girls think it isn't like a doll it's real."
"You don't think I know that Don", Lindsay says.
Don closed his eyes for a minute, "Just listen for once you two a baby isn't like babysitting you can just have it for a while then go home it takes a lot of patience and responsibility to take care of a baby. You will be responsible for not just yourself but another human being."
Danny's anger finally flared Don was his best if any one should be supporting him and Lindsay it should be him. "I know I might not be the picture perfect person to raise a child but Lindsay was born to be a mom and this is our child and there's no way we would give it up."
Mac noticed Stella had been quiet through the whole conversation and he looked at her to notice she was deep in thought. "Stel you okay?"
Stella got pushed out of her thought by the beautiful guy beside her and smiled, "Yeah fine just… hope that what happened with me won't happen to this kid going into foster care isn't really fun."
Mac took Stella's hand, "don't worry none of us would let that happen, ever."
"That's it I'm going to bed", Don said and went up the stairs to find a place to sleep where he didn't have to be around everyone else. Don knew everyone probably hated him right now but he just couldn't get his head around Two of his best friends having a child in high school none the less his mom would have disowned him if he every got a girl pregnant.
Jess huffed crossed arms and sat down she was so pissed at him. Danny was his best friend he was support him but instead made him feel like a failure like his and Lindsay's baby was a mistake. Jess didn't know what to do but she knew to Don apologized to Lindsay and Danny she was not talking to him.
Lindsay was on the verge of tears so Stella thought of the only thing to do make sure Linds didn't break out in front of the guys she made leave. "Okay we probably should get ready for bed so all you guys go away."
All the guys smiled but left, The girls made a pallet on the floor in front of the TV they had decided to sleep in there while the guys shared Mac's room and guest room. Don had taken the guest room while other the other guys when to Mac's room.
Danny was fuming he was trying to do what was right and getting beat up for it. Mac. Adam was surprised by the events of the night and just trying to keep out of everyone's way. Sheldon was wondering about how Lindsay and Danny must be handling this he thought Don was way out of line with just blowing up at them. Mac was Sitting down why everyone got situated on where they were going to sleep they were going to sleep Mac's room was spacious so they had enough room for sleeping bags and everything. Mac didn't really know what to think about the news just given to him but he was sure to be supportive Danny and Lindsay were going to need it. Usually all the girls and guys would stay up all night and talk till they fell asleep but this night they all just wanted rest most hoped things would actually look better in the morning.
