I have finally updated this. I am sorry for taking so long but my creativity decided to take a long vacation, but it seems to be back now.

Thanks to everyone who have reviewed this and added it to their alerts. So here is Chapter 10.

It was half time at the game and Lindsay was really enjoying herself. She was feeling lighter and happier than she had done in a very long time. She felt a hand stroke hers and looked over at Danny.

"Having fun"

"Yeah" she smiled at him "it is so nice to be out from for the four walls at home"

"Hey don't you like the apartment" he placed his hand over his heart in mock hurt.

"Of course I do silly, I love it but I can't wait to getting back to normal, to go out and do things you know".

"I know honey" he took her hand in his and kissed it.

As they sat their attention returned to the game, but he kept a grip of her hand as he watched. At half time he asked her if wanted another drink, she agreed so he went off and get them. About 10 minutes later when he still had not arrived back at their seats she kept look around for him but couldn't see him anywhere. She was wondering where he had got to as the cheerleaders came out on court to so that they could announce this weeks winning seat number.

"This week winner of a signed jersey is seating in..." she paused as she fished out a ticket from the basket "Block E ... Row 3 ... seat number..." she paused yet again for effect "45".

Lindsay who still looking around for Danny was not really paying any attention to what was happening on court.

"Hey lady" said the man sitting above her" "thats you"

"Sorry? What Is?" she answered him a little confused.

"They called your seat number"

"What?"

"Your seat number, they just called it, you got the jersey"

"I did!" Lindsay exclaimed

"Yeah" said the man with a grin.

"Thanks" smiled Lindsay; she picked up her crutches and slowly made her way down to the court. Some of the cheerleaders came up to help her, it was fortunate that the seats that Danny had got them were not that high up so it didn't take her that long to get down there.

She took the jersey for one of the cheerleaders and thanked them. She had a big grin on her face just wished that Danny had been there to see it; she had never won anything before. As she turned to leave and go back to her seat the cheerleaders blocked her path wouldn't let her leave. One of the girls who looked to be like the head cheerleader took her arm and asked her to have a seat on the chair that had suddenly appeared in the middle of the court. Lindsay was quite surprised but she sank down into the chair. The girls all smiled at her then moved to one side out of the way, that when she saw him.

He could see the very confused look on her face and flashed her the trademark Messer grin. He walked up to her, when he was about 5ft feet from her he stopped.

"What's going on Danny?"

He just smiled at her, then winked at her as he fished something small out of his jeans pocket. Then he dropped to one knee in front of her.

"Lindsay Monroe" he began "I love you so much, you're it for me, you're the one, I knew it the moment I met you but I just didn't realize it until I almost lost you forever" he took her hand in his and started to gently stroke her palm "I messed up and I am so grateful that you have given us another shot. Going to sleep at night and waking up in the morning with you in my arms is my personal piece of heaven and I never want it to end." He opened his other hand and inside was a ring "Lindsay Monroe, let me hold you every night and every morning, Let me love you. Marry me!"

Tears were freely flowing from Lindsay's eyes, this was the last thing she had expected when she woke up this morning. She looked deep into his eyes and saw the love shining from them. With her free hand she stroked the side of his face

"Daniel Messer" she began "I love you so much to. I messed up I shouldn't have stood up on our first date, left for Montana without telling you or keep pushing you away like I did. Being you gives me joy and happiness the likes of I have never known before and I never want that to end. Yes I will marry you".

They looked at each other for a moment, then he gently placed the ring on her finger and kissed her gently on the lips.

The crowd around them were all cheering, but they coule only hear and see each other. He picked up her crutches with one hand and gave them to Lindsay then swept her off her feet. The crowd went wild "Here don't forget your jersey" one of the Cheerleaders handed it back to Lindsay.

"Thanks" she said with a brief look at the younger girl, then looked back at Danny. He smiled at her the placed a gently kiss on her lips. "Let's go Lindsay soon-to-be Messer" then proceeded to carry her back to the car and drove her back to their apartment.

So what do you think please R & R,

I should say I have never been to or watch a basketball game so
