All Lindsay could do is just watch Danny. She believed him that he had no idea that he could be a father. She had known him long enough to know when he was lying to her and judging from the range of emotions apparent on his face he was telling the truth.
"Linds, what am I going to do here? I can't be a father, I just can't."
"Why can't you be a father?" Lindsay said, puzzled.
Danny sighed. "How can I take care of another human being when I have this crazy work schedule? We work sometimes 15 hours a day and that doesn't even count the times when we have to be called in."
Lindsay reached over and took his hands in hers. His pulse slowed when she held his hand and that is all that it took for him to trust her completely in what she was going to say to him.
"Danny, I love you and you don't have to worry about a thing. We'll handle this together. I have your back and you have mine. But first we have to find out if the child is yours. The Department of Family and Children did leave you a message on your phone. They probably want to have a chat with you. We can have your DNA ran with Macy's to see the paternity results."
Danny stood up and helped Lindsay to her feet. He held her hand and headed back towards the lab. They had almost made it to the lab when Danny's cell rang. Mac's name popped up on the display screen.
They both stopped and looked at each other. Both of them thinking but not admitting that there would be rough water ahead.
