A/N: I didn't realize my last chapter was so freakin' short so I'm going to go ahead and continue. Please review and let me know how I'm doing. I had to re-read my story twice to get back in the groove of it. LOL

Danny sat outside the door for a couple more minutes after the doctor left. He took a deep breath and walked into Lindsay's room. She was lying in the bed asleep so Danny just walked up to her bed and watched her. God how he had missed her, he had gotten so lonely that he had moved in with Nick a couple weeks after having been in Vegas. The looks between Nick and Sara while home were almost too much for Danny. He had already decided to go back to New York before he talked to Don. Now he wished he had made is choice earlier and maybe Lindsay won't be where she is right now.

"It's not your fault." Came a soft raspy voice from the bed.

"What you can read minds now?" Danny said with a smirk.

"Just yours." Lindsay said with a smirk of her own.

"Damn it Lindsay, I should have never left you. I should have stayed you wouldn't have been at that scene all by yourself." Danny said as tears came to his eyes.

"Your right," Lindsay said after the shocked looked Danny gave her and before he could speak she continued. "You would have tried to play hero and would have either been killed or you would be where I am. All I could think about after I realized I got shot was you and the baby. And remember Danny I told you to leave."

"Yeah, but I never listened to you before why should I have started then?" Danny said trying to lighten the mood.

Lindsay would have none of that. "Danny, I do not regret telling you to leave. You needed to find out for yourself how much I love you. You have no idea how hard it was when I found out I was pregnant not to call you right then."

"Why didn't you? I would have been on the first flight home." Danny said a little anger coming through in his voice.

"Then what huh, you would have been no closure in finding yourself. Danny I fell in love with you. Not what you thought I wanted or needed. You had to go out and find the man I fell in love with the old Danny. I will never regret that I now have that man back and in front of me." Lindsay said with tears in her eyes.

Danny couldn't take it anymore after not seeing, hearing, or being able to touch Lindsay for about a month he took in a tight hug, but careful on the wound to her chest.

For the next two hours Danny filled Lindsay in on what had happen to him in Vegas and about Nick and Sara. Lindsay wanted to meet them and tell them thank you for looking out for Danny and was over joyed to hear that they had flown up to New York with him and had been working with Mac in their places.

That is how the gang found them a couple minutes later.

"Should we leave them?" Sara asked looking at the women that she had heard so much about and the happy smile on Danny's face that she had never seen before.

"Let me think a minute" Don put his finger to his chin. "NO" and walked into the room.

"Okay you two, our turn." Lindsay just laughed and Danny gave him a go-to-hell look.

Sara and Nick came into the room. "You must be Sara and Nick." Lindsay said to the two faces she didn't know.

"Yeah, I'm Sara Sidle. It is nice to put a face with all the stories we've heard." Sara said and surprised Nick when she gave Lindsay a hug.

"I'm Nick Stokes, and I don't see how you lived with his guy. He drove me nuts." Nick said also giving Lindsay a hug.

"Tell me about it" Lindsay said with a laugh only to laugh harder with Danny's "HEY" in the background.

The group talked for a few minutes until the nurse came in and told them they had to leave so Lindsay could get some rest.

"When do you leave?" Lindsay asked, because the issue of if Danny was going back to Vegas had not been touch.

"I have to leave now or I'll get in trouble." Danny said not following what Lindsay was asking.

"Not the room cowboy, when do you go back to Vegas?"

"I'm not. I talked to Grissom and he is going to give the position to Greg Sander in DNA. I'm going to have to find something here in New York. Now what can an out of work CSI do?" Danny asked with a sad smile.

"I know, take the next week off but be in my office a week from Monday to get your assignment." Said Mac from the door he was going to talk to Danny about coming back to work when he over heard the conversation.

"But Mac, I quit." Danny said

"No, you thought the papers you were signing were resignation, they were actually a leave of absent request from for three months. You still have a job Danny. I knew you would be back." Mac said with a smile and left.

Danny just looked after Mac in shock. "Well, I guess that takes care of that. So when can I get out of here?" Lindsay said with a smile.

It wasn't for another two weeks before Lindsay was able to go home. In that time period she had become quick friends with Sara and Nick and she really didn't want them to leave. Little did she know….

"Montana!" Danny yelled from the entryway.

"WHAT?" Lindsay yelled back from the couch.

"Ya'll do know the apartment is not that big that ya'll have to yell right?" Nick asked with a knowing smile. Since getting out of the hospital Lindsay had moved in with Danny and someone was always with her. They did this every time he came home.

"We know, but we also know it drives you crazy." Lindsay said with a smile.

Sara came in from the bedroom her and Nick were using while there. "What is with all the yelling?"

"Lindsay and Danny being well, Lindsay and Danny." Nick said with a smirk.

"Oh" Sara said with a roll of her eyes.

They all were sitting in the living room eating pizza when Lindsay finally asked the question she really didn't want to know the answer to.

"So when do you guys go back to Vegas?" Lindsay asked.

Nick looked at Sara and Sara looked at Nick. At the same time they said "You didn't tell them?"

Both shook their heads no.

"Tell us what?" Danny said as he took a bite of his pizza.

"Well, Sara and I have decided not to go back." Nick said looking at them for their reactions.

"Really?" Lindsay asked with a huge grin on her face.

"We talked to Mac and Grissom and we really like it here. Of course we will miss the guys, but this way we can have a fresh start. Everyone was looking at us weird." Sara said.

"Why were they looking at ya weird?" Danny asked.

"I use to have a thing for Grissom a long time ago and some people can't seem to figure that there was nothing there and that Nick is just a rebound guy to make Grissom jealous." Sara said.

"So, after talking to Mac and letting Grissom know we are now the newbies to New York's Finest." Nick said with a grin.

Danny couldn't have been happier. He wasn't to happy thinking that they were going to leave and that he would never see them again.

"Well, you don't have to look for a place to live for another what?" Danny said looking at Lindsay.

"Six months, then we are going to have to kick you out." Lindsay said with a laugh.

"Sounds like a plan, but it may only be about one, because we found an apartment right here in the building." Sara said looking at Lindsay.

"Alright, someone will always be close to Lindsay during her pregnancy." Danny said. Before leaving the hospital Dr. Armstrong had told Lindsay to always have someone close due to the wound and her pregnancy.

"Yeap, and this way it will be easier to spoil them rotten." Nick said.

"I'll remember that when Sara becomes pregnant." Danny said with a laugh till he saw the look on Sara's face. "No way!"

"What?" Nick said looking from Danny to Lindsay finally to Sara.

"This isn't how I pictured this but hey that is our life." Sara said with a shy smile. "Danny's not going to be the only new dad in this apartment."

And at that Nick fainted.
