Summary: Can you repeat that please? I must not have heard correctly.
Disclaimer/Author's Note:muahahaha: This is set at Lindsay's OB-GYN's office.
Lindsay swung her feet under the examination chair childishly as she waited for her doctor to come in. She'd paged Danny a few minutes ago after the nurse told her it might be awhile. She hadn't wanted him to come in and wait with her and have the experience be just awkward.
Lindsay looked up as the door swung open and Danny walked in. Her eyebrows shot up in surprise, she honestly hadn't expected him to get to her that quickly.
"Hey-" began Lindsay, her voice fading as she registered the look on Danny's face. He looked angry and upset and walked up to her quickly, standing in front of her, crossing his arms across his chest and falling back against the wall opposite where Lindsay was sitting. He just looked at her, made her feel self-conscious as Lindsay sat there in a paper dress and her socks.
"Danny, stop looking at me like that," said Lindsay, tearing her eyes away from his face and looking at the door.
"You know, it would have been nice to have a little warning before you started telling everybody in the lab that you're pregnant," Lindsay's head turned back to Danny slowly in annoyance.
"I didn't say anything."
"I just talked to Flack and he says you talked to Hammerback," Lindsay hopped off the chair and stood in front of Danny defensively.
"Whatever Flack heard was a lie." spat Lindsay, her blood boiling just a bit.
"So you didn't talk to Hammerback?" Lindsay flushed, placing her hands on her hips and glaring at the man in front of her.
"I didn't tell him anything."
"You're lying to me, Lindsay," said Danny, reaching out and grabbing Lindsay's upper arm, forcing her to look at him. Tears sprung into her eyes and she tried to pull away from him.
"Let go of me, Danny. That hurts."
"And you talked to Stella?"
"I did not talk to Stella!" said Lindsay loudly, wrenching her arm out of Danny's grip and shoving him away from her.
"You talked to someone," Danny shot back at her just as loudly. "And it bothers me that you wouldn't tell me you were going to."
"I don't have to consult everything I do with you!" Lindsay cried as the examination door opened again and Lindsay's doctor walked in, her eyebrows raised as she spotted Danny and Lindsay's posture, both their faces red..
"I'm Doctor Brenda Spence... is everything alright in here?"
"Fine, he was just leaving," said Lindsay, crossing her arms over her chest and looked at Danny with an 'I-told-you-so' expression, even if the situation didn't call for it. Danny looked at her, all anger eliminated from his face, replaced with very hurt look instead.
Brenda looked from one to the other before shutting the door behind her quietly and looking at the file in her hands.
"Lindsay Monroe?" she asked hesitantly, breaking the spell that had warped the two together in a staring contest. Danny looked at the doctor, his eyes shining a bit before he started heading for the door.
Brenda stopped him before he could go very far, however and told him to stay. Lindsay opened her mouth to protest but was cut off as Brenda told her to lie flat on her back. Lindsay obliged, shooting a venomous look at Danny as Brenda began fiddling with things.
Danny wasn't listening to anything Brenda was saying, opting to tune her out as he stared at Lindsay. She looked so angry at him, even though he didn't do anything wrong, and he was too hurt by her to want to stay in the same room with her, contemplated leaving if he wasn't afraid that Brenda wouldn't yell at him again.
He was brought back to earth after hearing Lindsay gasp lightly. His vision focused on her, watching tears spring into her eyes as her hand hovered over her open mouth.
"Are you dad?" asked Brenda, looking at Danny with the hint of a smile gracing around her face, Danny shrugged and Brenda motioned him to come forward. "Would you like to see your baby?" Danny moved forward slightly, looking at Lindsay for confirmation or anything that would allow him something to go on, to move closer to her without being yelled at.
Lindsay felt his eyes on her and turned to look at him, her hand still touching her lips slightly. She extended her arm out to him, willing him to come closer. Danny did so, feeling Lindsay take hold of his shirt and pulling him closer to her.
"Change of heart?" quipped Danny quietly, Lindsay let the hand covering her mouth fall to her side, her head lolling back to the monitor humming next to her. Danny followed her gaze, a pressure forming in his heart as his eyes focused. Lindsay looked back at him to gage his reaction.
"You could say that," she said softly. Brenda told them she'd let them alone and backed out of the room.
"We're going to have a baby," Lindsay breathed, knotting her fingers with Danny's. "That's our baby."
