Chapter 10

After their passionate night, they would have needed a very late morning, unfortunately for them, they had an appointment they couldn't nor wouldn't miss. Danny was the first to wake up and decided he had a nicer way to wake up Lindsay than the alarm. She was snuggled up on his chest so he had a limited range of movements. Thus, he started to draw patterns on her back knowing that would send shivers down to her spine. With his other hand, he traced the contours of her face, grazed her eyelids, down to her nose then to her lips. He rather would have liked his lips to follow that path but his mouth was too far to reach her face. He could tell she was starting to awake because he could see that a smile was forming on her lips. So he bent his head to drop a kiss on her hair, after that, he began tickling her -softly at first, to make sure she was fully awake. But once he heard her giggle and felt her squirming, his tickles were a bit more pressing and faster and had her squealing.

"Danny, stop," she laughed and tried to get out of his hold.

She was squirming a bit too much so he stopped -he didn't want to accidentally hurt her in any way . He pulled her on top of him so he could finally kiss her on the lips. He drew her mouth to his lips and he grinned as she sighed in satisfaction.

"Morning," he told her breaking the kiss.

"Morning," she said back. "What happened to the good old alarm clock?"

"Isn't this a better way to wake up?" he asked feigning hurt.

"Much…much…much…better," Lindsay answered in between kisses. She glanced at the clock and realized they had to get up if they didn't want to be late. Danny followed her gaze and came to the same conclusions as she had. As much as he loved the current position they were in, he also couldn't wait to see their baby for the very first time and he knew Lindsay felt the same.

"Come on cowboy, we need to get ready," she announced getting off of him and out of bed.

"I know," he said also getting out of bed.

"I'll make us something…" he was interrupted.

"No I'll make breakfast and you go take a shower," she declared not leaving him the possibility to say anything else before she exited the room.

He entered the bathroom, took off his pajamas and started the shower. The hot water streamed on his face and made its way down his body. Thoughts of Lindsay filled his mind as it often did, at any time of the day really. Today, they would get a peek of their baby for the first time and he was excited but he couldn't wait to hold their son or daughter in his arms.

After his shower, he dressed and let Lindsay in the bathroom. Then they had breakfast together, Danny had wanted to wait for her to eat. Afterwards they set forward to the doctor's to meet their baby -sorta.

Like the week before they were sitting in Dr Walker's waiting room, but the nervousness had been replaced by eagerness and excitement. The receptionist ushered them in the office and soon Lindsay was propped up on the exam table.

"Alright, Danny, Lindsay, you ready?" the doctor asked.

The couple nodded. Lindsay's head was already watching the small screen and she squeezed Danny's hand as a lump formed in his throat.

Dr Walker applied the cold gel on Lindsay's abdomen which made Lindsay hissed a bit. She saw images on the screen but couldn't make out what they were.

"Let's find this baby," the doctor said.

She moved the wand around and stopped all of a sudden. Danny couldn't see anything but Dr Walker pointed a spot on the screen and announced : "Here's your baby."

Lindsay let out a 'sob-chuckle' and squeezed the hand she was holding even tighter. Danny didn't say anything, all he could do was look at the screen until the doctor pressed a button on the machine and released the most wonderful sound he had ever heard. He instinctively and instantly knew what it was. It beat so fast he couldn't believe it. Their baby's heartbeat. Fast and steady. Fast and steady. It was his turn to squeeze Lindsay's hand. Lindsay turned her head to look at her boyfriend and saw how speechless and amazed he was.

"I'm gonna leave you two a minute," Dr Walker announced walking out of the room.

"This is our baby," Lindsay declared proudly.

Danny still couldn't say anything, he had barely heard her words. His eyes were focused on their peanut-like baby. He or she was so tiny, it wasn't looking like a baby, yet, but he knew it was their baby.

"Danny?" Lindsay tried to bring him back to reality. When it didn't work, she decided she'd need something stronger to get his attention, so she pinched him.

"Ouch, what d'you that for?" he complained.

"So that your attention'd be back to me," she said innocently.

"Sorry, baby, I guess I tuned out, right?"

"Yes, you did, but you were really cute," she told him.

Danny chuckled and kissed her hand.

"It's real," Lindsay whispered smiling.

"You didn't think it was before?" Danny wondered.

"It's kinda hard to imagine someone growing inside of you," she explained. "Especially since I can't feel it moving yet."

"And now that you can see it…" he began.

"…it's real," she finished grinning.

"Now that it is, can we tell everybody?" he asked obviously very excited.

"Yes we can, Danny, but we have to do it together," she made him promise.

"Deal," he swore.
