Thought I would make up for the long wait and give you two in one day :) ENJOY!
Remembering:
Stella, Jess, and Lindsay all climbed into Stella's SUV. They had taken a last minute shopping spree to the mall to get dresses for the night. "I can't wait to see their faces when they get the credit card bill."
"Serves them right for springing this on us." Lindsay laughed.
"Don's never going to let me near a credit card again." They arrived at the lab at eight o'clock on the nose.
"Wow." Lindsay turned to see Danny in the lobby.
"Wow yourself. Mr. Messer you clean up very nicely." Danny stood there in a pressed suit.
"Ladies. I'm here to escort you up to the top. Please follow me." Danny said. He led them by Hawkes, who was still waiting.
"You look very nice." The three girls commented.
"You look lovely yourself." Hawkes grinned. Danny led them up.
"Umm Dan you pasted our floor." Stella said watching the 35th floor go by.
"We're not going to the lab." Danny said. The elevator doors opened on the top floor. "We're going to have to walk from here."
"Walk where?" Jess asked. She turned to Lindsay. "Is your husband trying to kill us?"
"I don't know." Danny opened the doors to the roof. There was lights stung and music playing softly in the background. In the middle was a large table that was set.
"Wow." They said. Stella went to Mac.
"This is beautiful."
"I'm surprised. Who helped you?" Jess asked her husband.
"That hurts honey. To think that you don't think that five of NYPD's finest men couldn't pull this off by ourselves."
"Your men."
"And you tell us we're sexist." Don pulled her closer. The door opened again and Adam stepped off with Kendall. Behind them was Hawkes with a dark haired woman with caramel skin and deep brown eyes. Her curly hair rivaled Stella's. "Wow." Jess hit him in the stomach.
"Everybody, I want you to meet my girlfriend Kerry Palmer. Kerry these are my friends and colleagues. Mac and his wife Stella, Danny and his wife Lindsay, Don and his wife Jess, and finally Adam and his girlfriend Kendall."
"It's so nice to finally put a name to a face." Kerry said taking turned shaking hands with everyone. "Sheldon tells me a lot about you."
"Really?" Danny smiled. He looked at Hawkes. "Can't shut up about us can you?" Lindsay smacked Danny.
"Be nice or you'll be sleeping on the couch."
"Alright." Danny held up his hands. "The abuse I take." Danny muttered. Lindsay just gave him the eyes.
"So Kerry. What do you do?"
"I'm a third grade teacher at the elementary school down the street."
"Oh that's cool. Maybe you'll see our children." Jess said
"You have more?"
"Oh no. Not at the moment. I'm only six months along with my first."
"And I'm seven with my first." Lindsay said
"My son is two months old." Stella said. She handed Kerry a picture.
"Oh he's so adorable."
"Thank you."
"Shall we eat?" Mac asked. They all took their places at the table.
"So how exactly did you and Hawkes meet?" Lindsay asked
"Oh." Kerry blushed. "Umm…"
FLASHBACK:
"Hey Mac. I have a small family emergency. Can I take the afternoon?"
"Sure. Everything ok?"
"Yeah."
"You and Lindsay close the case?"
"He confessed in interrogation."
"You didn't let her go in did you? Danny will have your head."
"I told her no but she said she was three months pregnant and barley showing. I locked the door after I went in."
"I'd hurry up and leave if I were you." Mac pointed out to a mad Lindsay ranting and raving to an unsuspecting Danny in their office. "I'll go do damage control."
"Thanks." Hawkes looked at the strip of paper and headed off in the right direction. He arrived at the elementary school and walked into the office.
"Hello sir. May I help you?"
"Hi, I'm here to pick up my nephew. Damien Hawkes."
"ID please." The woman checked. "I'll call him down. Will he be returning?"
"No. His mom is having his sister and wants him to be there." The woman called the classroom.
"He'll be about ten minutes. He's finishing up a project."
"Ok." Hawkes was sitting in a chair when he saw a stack of paper trying to open the door. "Here let me get that for you." Hawkes opened the door and took most of the paper.
"Thanks." The woman blew a curl from her face. "Kerry Palmer."
"Sheldon Hawkes." They shook hands.
"Can I have my hand back?"
"Oh!" He dropped it.
"And the paper?" Hawkes blushed and put it in her arms. "Thanks."
"Your welcome."
END OF FLASH BACK:
"Ahh." The girls said.
"That was so cute."
"Dude did you really blush?" Don asked Hawkes
"What? Like you don't blush." He asked back
"I don't."
"Oh really Donald?" His wife raised an eyebrow at him.
FLASHBACK:
"Four older brothers and a detective sergeant for a father. Your old man dust you for prints when you got home from a date?"
"Well if it was up to them I wouldn't have known boys existed until I was 21."
"I'm sure the boys knew you existed."
"Is that a line, Flack? Did you just bust out your game on me? It was, wasn't it? Look at you. You're blushing." Jess laughed
"My game. Game. I have no game. But if I did, that's probably as good as it gets."
"I think it's pretty good."
END OF FLASH BACK:
"Don buddy. You need some work."
"Hey, I caught her just fine with that line. Look at yourself."
"I didn't need to bust a line with Montana."
"Montana?" Kerry was confused.
"That would be me. It's like baby or sweetie in Danny's mind. It's where I'm from."
"So Kendall, Adam. Please tell us how it was that you two happened." Stella asked
"We were running DNA and fingerprints." Kendall started.
FLASHBACK:
"Adam where are those results?" Danny asked. Stella was out and so was Mac. Which left Danny in charge. Lindsay and Jess were both five and four months pregnant respectfully so they were on limited duty. Leaving Danny, Don, Adam, and Hawkes.
"I'm getting there. You aren't the only person who needs something."
"Here. Let me finish and you can run down to Finger Prints and get Hawkes prints." Lindsay said. She pressed a kiss to Danny's cheek as she passed.
"You sure?" Adam was slightly scared that Danny would yell for putting more work on his wife.
"Positive. Now go before you get really behind." Lindsay pushed him out the door. He headed to the other part of the lab.
"Hey Kendall."
"Adam." Kendall held up a folder. "There are the prints you sent down. I got a hit in AFIS for the prints on the window. Came back to a Mick Andrews." Kendall pasted it to him.
"Thanks." Adam when to head back out but stopped. He turned back around. "Kendall?"
"Yeah?"
"You umm…you want to go out…with me. Like…on a date…maybe. If you don't want to you don't have to. I mean…" Kendall pressed a kiss to his lips.
"I would love to go out with you." She wrote her address on his arm. "Pick me up there around eight."
END OF FLASH BACK:
"Adam." Danny and Don laughed at the pink blush. They ate dinner and swapped stories. Mac had arranged a comfortable lounge area.
"I can't believe you got married in Vegas." Lindsay and Danny laughed. "Now that was after she went undercover?"
"Yeah. That's when I realized I loved her." Danny said answering Kerry's question
"So when we went to Vegas for a seminar. We got pretty trashed. The next morning we woke up naked, in bed, with new rings on." Lindsay said.
"I can't wait till their kids ask them how they got married and why their wedding picture is with Elvis." Don laughed.
"Of course the true fairytale wedding was Stella and Mac's." Jess grinned
FLASHBACK:
Mac stood up at the alter. The music started and the door was opened to reveal Jess. She took two steps before she was met by Don. Together they went up the aisle. When the doors reopened Lindsay was there and repeated what Jess did with Danny. Danny took the best man's spot while Lindsay was the maid of honor. There was silence. Danny leaned up to Mac. "Take a deep breath and relax. She can smell when your nervous."
"Danny." Danny stood straight. The wedding march began and he leaned into Mac again.
"Oh and remember to call her ma'am." Mac shot him a murderous look. The doors opened and Stella entered. (For all three girls dresses and Stella's wedding dress. Look on my profile).
"Wow."
END OF FLASHBACK:
"I thought he was going to pass out right there on the alter." Danny said.
"Your lucky I didn't throw you off the alter with your god damn squabbling in my ear." Mac muttered as every one laughed. Lindsay kissed Danny's pout.
"Don't pout baby."
"I don't pout." Danny said. Lindsay shook her head on him.
"Whatever you say baby."
"You love being mean to me." Danny kissed her head.
"You two are so cute together." Kerry said
"You should have seen them before this. You could cut the sexual tension with a knife. Thank god they finally decided to have sex."
"Shut it Adam."
"Baby ears." Jess and Lindsay scolded putting their hands over their bellies.
"They can't hear us."
"My baby book says they can. So when you talk to them for nine months when they come out, they know your voice." Lindsay said, "Plus with Dan here the baby's first words are either going to be Yankees, baseball, Montana, or a curse word."
"Hey. I have toned down my language."
"I know baby."
We have some team fluff. Getting to know Kerry and Kendall. They will be seen again in the story. I hope you enjoyed chapter seven. I started the story kind of in the middle. So with this chapter I wanted to show before the were all pregnant. Don't forget to review. Review = me happy and chapters :)
Preview:
Lindsay's cell rang. "Oh my god. This man is going to drive me crazy." Lindsay hit accept. "Yes baby?"
"Are you ok? No labor pains?"
"The only pain I have is one in the ass and that's just you."
"Now I'm worried and your teasing me."
"Oh don't pout."
