A/N ok, ok you win Danny and Lindsay will get back together now if we are going to review can they be happy…… but they wont get together for a while because I have some very evil plans
Danny and Rikki walked into the lab together she had a worried look on her face but Danny quietly reassured her it was fine. They walked toward Mac's office
"Hey Mac" Danny said
"Hey sit down" Mac Smiled
"We were wondering weather you and the others wanted to come to Marie's funeral"
"That would be really lovely thank you, I will ask the others" ricki who had stayed quiet looked up at Mac and smiled "Come here, everything will be ok"
"Thank you" she cried into his shoulder
Later that day Mac called a team meeting so as usual they all piled into Mac's office
"Now Danny and Rikki have invited us to their daughter's funeral and I would appreciate if we could all go and be civil it is a very sad time for the two of them"
"And Lindsay?" Adam asked turning to look at Lindsay
"What about me?" she replied
"well we have and go and be civil because he has lost his child but you cant possibly go and pretend you care when you know you have his daughter waiting at home for you"
"What ever happened between me and Danny is between me and Danny and I will go and say I'm sorry because what if it was my daughter? it would kill me" Lindsay walked toward the door "I will see you tomorrow in the lab for nine"
"Yes" Mac said "You may all go back to work" so the lab techs filed out of the office but Stella hung back
"Are you sure Lindsay's ready for this" she asked sounding very worried
"No not at all but if she thinks she is then all we can do is support her" he replied
"Yeah" she headed toward the door
"And stell…. Just watch her ok"
"Sure thing Mac"
The graveyard was filled with the New York crime lab standing in black talking in hushed tones when the funeral car pulled up and the coffin bearers carried the tiny coffin down the aisle they were followed by a very emotional Rikki and Danny. Stella edged closer to Mac
"Where the hell is Lindsay?" she whispered
"I thought she was coming with you" he hissed
"No she said she was dropping Crissy off and then-" she stopped as a very tired looking Lindsay crept through the door holding her daughter into her chest. She walked straight over to Mac and Stella her eyes streaming with tears
"What's up" Stella asked cuddling Lindsay into her
"My uncle was hit by a bus back home, he died early this morning"
"Are you ok? Do you want to go home?"
"No its fine, but I couldn't find anybody to look after Crissy, do you think they will mind her being here"
"No I'm sure it will be fine" Crissy rested her small head on Lindsay's shoulder as she rocked her back and forward the service ended and they all walked out of the church and headed for their cars. Danny and Rikki thanked everybody for coming
"Mac" Danny called
"Yeah" he replied
"Have you seen Linds?"
"Um she's in the toilet I think"
"Oh ok thanks" Danny headed over toward the bathroom waiting for Lindsay to come out when she did he was shocked to see her eyes were read and puffy and she had a sleeping toddler in her arms
"Oh, hey Danny" she smiled weakly
"Are you ok"
"Yeah my uncle died this morning so…um…yeah…but …I think…I'm fine"
"And who's this?" he asked ushering toward Crissy
"Oh
her name is Emily she is my niece" she lied (A/n
I'm sorry but he can't know who she is)
"If you need anybody to talk to, you know I'm here right"
Lindsay called Stella over and asked her to look after the little girl
"Would you like to go for a walk?" Lindsay asked
"Yeah, I'd like that" Danny smiled and the two of the walked away from the crowd
"So how have you been? It's been so long"
"Oh I'm ok just getting on with life. What about you things must be difficult at the moment"
"We're going to get through it, I think we are going to adopt a toddler so we can bring a child up but not one of Ricki's because she thinks they are cursed or something" Danny was beginning to cry
"Danny, I'm so sorry if there is anything I can do just tell me" Lindsay hugged Danny, he held her in so close. Why he thought why does this feel so right, how does she have this power that every time I see her I wish I could go straight over to her and kiss her and tell her how much I love her?
If he had just stayed with me, he would have a beautiful little girl and wouldn't have to be here hurting as much as he is I just wish I could tell him about her but I can't he just lost a daughter and I cant go and ruin his and Ricki's lives by telling him Lindsay thought.
So they just stood there they didn't know how long just holding each other wishing the past two years had been different.
