Chapter 12
"A baby?" Danny questioned with his arms wrapped around Lindsay as they walked down the street to his parents' house
"A baby" Lindsay repeated for what felt like the hundredth time giving him a smile "You really are excited about this huh?"
"When you told me about Lucy I was excited but scared to death" Danny told her "But at least now I know what to expect"
"I'm glad you're happy" Lindsay said to him "It was killing me not telling you"
"How do you feel about it?" Danny questioned
"I feel great I mean the timing could have been a little better but I'm excited" Lindsay told him and he smiled
"The timing is perfect" Danny whispered "We needed something good to happen" the placed a kiss on her cheek as they approached the door "So what are we doing keeping this a secret or what?"
"Well I mean I am going to start showing soon so I don't think keeping quiet is going to work" Lindsay smirked "We're going to need a bigger place"
"Fine" Danny smiled
"And we're going to have two infant children running around like crazy" Lindsay laughed at the thought "Say good-bye to ever sleeping"
"Who needs sleep" Danny shrugged
"We're also going to need a new crib we gave Lucy's away" Lindsay informed him
"New crib" Danny nodded
"And I am going to need a lot of mint chip ice cream" Lindsay added in causing Danny to smile
"Our freezer will be full of it" Danny promised and leaned into kiss her. There kiss was getting more passionate when they noticed the porch lights flickering and turned to see Flack staring out the window
"Get a room" Flack shouted threw the window and winked at them then stepped away from the window
"Flack is going to be spending a lot of time babysitting" Danny mumbled opening the front door
"You two are back early" Flack noted
"Well we have some news" Danny announced and Flack turned to them
"You're getting divorced?" Flack questioned causing Danny to roll his eyes
"Why would you think that?" Danny asked
"You were on a date, your back early, you have news" Flack shrugged
"Lindsay and I are having another baby" Danny told him causing Flack to smile
"Get out of here" Flack said pulling Lindsay into a hug "Congratulations" he said giving Danny a hug too
"Thanks" Danny smiled, he couldn't contain the joy he was feeling. It also had been the first time since Billy had come to town that he wasn't thinking about him
"How far along are ya?" Flack asked her
"Almost three months" Lindsay told him
"So boy, girl what are we thinking?" Flack asked
"Well it's to early to tell but I have a feeling" Lindsay smirked
"Boy" Danny said at the same time Lindsay responded
"Girl"
"Another girl really?" Danny questioned
"Yea just a feeling" Lindsay shrugged
"I'm going to be completely out numbered- always" Danny sighed
"But think that's two little girls you can spoil" Lindsay pointed out and Danny nodded in agreement
"Yea and two little girls dating, dressing to fit in with there friends, going to parties, sneaking out to meet there boyfriends who have motorcycles. Boyfriends you will never approve of but the more you fight it the more drawn to them they are" Flack told him seriously
"You been watching Gossip Girl or something?" Danny asked his friend seriously
"No" Flack said with a laugh "I have a sister remember"
"Well thanks for worrying me" Danny replied sarcastically "I guess you should be going"
"Nope" Flack replied flopping on the couch "I'm here until Officer Washington arrives tomorrow morning at nine. I can fill you in on all the horror stories of my sister"
"No that's ok" Danny replied
"I'm going to check on Lucy" Lindsay told them "Thanks for everything Don"
"No problem" Flack said as Lindsay left the room and Flack started laughing
"What?" Danny asked annoyed
"Two girls" Flack said shaking his head "Karmic justice my friend"
"Laugh it up all you want" Danny said taking a seat next to him "But Linds and I were talking over dinner we would like you to be the new babies godfather"
"Seriously?" Flack questioned
"Seriously" Danny nodded
"I'd be honored" Flack said shaking his hand
"This means if the new baby is a girl and I happen to be working when she has a date it's all on you my friend" Danny teased slapping his shoulder
"Or I could luck out and the baby can be a boy and I can be fun Uncle Flack taking him to baseball games" Flack smirked
The next day Lindsay and Danny were at Stella's old apartment getting settled in
"This is a nice place" Danny commented looking around
"It really is, great view too" Lindsay noted
"I think Lucy likes it" Danny smirked watching his daughter run around the apartment with a toy
"She's been moved around so much already" Lindsay sighed "I was born and lived in one place my entire life"
"What fun is that" Danny shrugged "I moved around a couple of times and met new friends each time"
"She's only three" Lindsay told him "I am sick of being stuck in here I seriously can't wait to get back to work"
"Tomorrow right?" Danny questioned reluctantly
"What?" Lindsay questioned knowing he was holding something back
"Nothing" Danny shrugged as Lucy ran towards him and swooped her up
"I'll be fine Danny" Lindsay assured him "I worked when I was pregnant with Lucy"
"Yea but you didn't have a lunatic hunting you when you were pregnant with Lucy either" Danny pointed out "Maybe you can stick to lab work?"
"Absolutely not" Lindsay told him "Hawkes and Adam have been covering us they're due for some time off and I love working scenes, it's probably safest there's police protection"
"You are going to tell Mac though right?" Danny questioned
"Yea I'll tell him tomorrow" Lindsay promised "Let's just get back to normal ok?"
Before Danny could respond his phone went off and saw Mac's name. He was unsure to answer it because of there argument yesterday. He was wondering if Mac was going to chew his ear off.
"I'd answer it" Lindsay recommended
"Yea" Danny sighed flipping his phone opened "Hey Mac"
"Danny can you do me favor and stop by the lab?" Mac questioned in his typical professional tone
"Sure" Danny said "I'll be there in half an hour" then hung up
"You can go now Ryan will be here soon" Lindsay told him
"I'll wait for him to get here" Danny said still holding Lucy "Do you think Lucy is going to be excited?"
"I don't know I hope so" Lindsay smiled "I mean I'm the baby of the family so I don't know what it's like to have a new baby come along"
"We should tell her" Danny said to her
"Ok" Lindsay agreed and they all took a seat on the couch
"Hey Luce" Danny smirked at his daughter
"Hi Dadee" Lucy smiled
"Hey Luce do you know those baby doll you have?" Lindsay questioned
"Rosie?" Lucy asked trying to think and Lindsay nodded
"Well your dad and I are going to have a new baby soon" Lindsay told her
"A new one?" Lucy asked looking up at her father
"Yea you're going to be a big sister" Danny told his daughter
"I'll stay here?" Lucy asked confused
"Of course you will baby" Lindsay laughed "You're just going to have a new little brother or sister to play with and help take care of"
"Like Rosie?" Lucy asked
"Yes except this baby isn't a doll it's a real baby" Danny said trying to get her to understand
"Ok" Lucy smiled "I like babies"
"Really?" Lindsay questioned and Lucy shook her head anxiously then jumped off the couch
"She took that well" Danny noted
"Wait until the baby really gets here and they're fighting for attention" Lindsay teased "And over toys"
"Not my kids they'll get along great" Danny snorted
"You never fought with Louie?" Lindsay questioned
"All the time but were boys" Danny said to her
"So I argued with my brothers all the time" Lindsay told him
"That's because your brothers are idiots" Danny told her plainly
"Not nice" Lindsay said as there was a knock at the door
"Speak of one of the three devils" Danny smirked standing up opening the door for Ryan
"Hey Danny" Ryan smiled
"Ryan" Danny replied "I'll see you later" Danny said giving Lindsay a kiss "Luce" he yelled and she came running out "I've got to go I'll see you later"
"Bye Dad-ee" Lucy smiled giving him a hug then Danny left
"Nice place" Ryan noted looking around
"Thanks" Lindsay smiled "Stella was real nice to let us use it until we get a new place"
"A new place?" Ryan questioned "What about just going back to your old one until Billy is caught?"
"We need more space" Lindsay told him as she unpacked some clothes
"For what?" Ryan laughed "That place was big enough for the three of you"
"Will there's going to be four" Lindsay told him and Ryan stared at her
"Four?" Ryan questioned and Lindsay nodded her head "As in?"
"As in I'm pregnant" Lindsay announced
"My baby sister is having another baby?" Ryan asked with a smile giving her a hug "This is great"
"Thanks" Lindsay said to him "We're going to need a little more space we might move to Brooklyn or something we really can't afford anything bigger out here"
"How are you feeling?" Ryan asked her
"I feel much better this pregnancy then I did with Lucy, I was sick all the time in the beginning" Lindsay told him "It's a good sign this baby is just what we all needed"
"Good for you kid" Ryan smiled at her
Crime Lab
Danny walked into the lab and knocked on Mac's office door
"Come in Danny" Mac said waving him in
"Look before you say anything I'm sorry about my behavior yesterday" Danny said to him "I was out of line"
"You were" Mac said agreeing "But I understand where you're coming from. But you're not here because of your behavior yesterday"
"Ok" Danny said taking a seat
"Billy is back in New York" Mac told him bluntly and Danny nodded
"Not surprised" Danny said to him
"You can work the case Danny" Mac told him "From a distance you can look over the evidence and everything we've collected so far"
"Why the change?" Danny questioned
"Who knows Lindsay better then you? We want to make sure he's not following her routine" Mac told him "And I don't have the man power to not have you working this but I need your word that you are going to stay professional and not act the way you've been acting this last week"
"You've got it Mac" Danny assured him
"Good" Mac said seriously "How is Lindsay doing?"
"She's handling it better then I am" Danny admitted "I just hate all this moving around"
"He would never suspect Stella's old apartment" Mac told him "It was a good idea"
"Well it was Stella's" Danny smirked
"Go into trace with Adam and see if you can help out there he's still sorting threw the stuff from Bozeman" Mac told him
"Ok and uh thanks Mac I wont let you down" Danny assured his boss then left
"I'm sure you wont" Mac said to the empty office
Stella's Old apartment
"I ordered some pizza" Lindsay said to Ryan who was playing with Lucy
"I don't know all this imaginary tea and bread is really filling me up" Ryan teased to his sister then there was a knock at the door
"Pizza" the man yelled from the other side. Lindsay quickly opened the door
"How much?" Lindsay asked taking out her wallet
"Don't say a word" Billy said holding a gun on Lindsay forcing her closing the door behind him quickly. Billy was wearing a dark jacket with the pizza place she ordered from symbol and a hat to match
"Linds" Ryan said walking over to her
"Just get Lucy" Lindsay said to him
"Billy what the hell are you doing?" Ryan questioned as Billy threw the pizza box on the floor
"This is all your fault" Billy said pointing the gun at Ryan who raised his arms
"Why don't you put that thing down before someone gets hurt" Ryan instructed him coolly then Lucy started to cry. Lindsay automatically thought back to that night with Shane Casey
"Ryan please" Lindsay said to him not taking her eyes off of Billy. Ryan slowly walked over to Lucy and scooped her up "How did you find me here?"
"I had been following Ryan" Bill informed her "I've missed you so much Lindsay"
"What do you want?" Lindsay questioned
"Let's get out of here together" Billy said to her desperately "We can have a life together"
"I have a life" Lindsay told him "I have a husband and daughter-"
"You're not happy!" Billy yelled startling her "I saw those pictures of you getting your medal, let me make you happy and you can forget that you ever lived here"
"I like it here" Lindsay reasoned
"No!" Billy yelled again pointing the gun angrily at her
"Billy stop" Ryan said stepping closer with a crying Lucy in his arms and he pointed the gun at them
"Don't!" Lindsay yelled "Will go"
"Lindsay" Ryan said stunned
"Just leave them alone and will go together"
"Really?" Billy asked her with a smile
"Yea just leave them alone and stop pointing the gun at them and will go" Lindsay promised, fear evident in her eyes
"Lindsay" Ryan said to her again
"Shut up!" Billy yelled again at him
"Just let me say good-bye to Lucy ok?" Lindsay said taking Lucy from Ryan "I love you baby"
"No go mommy" Lucy said crying "Stay wif me"
"I have to baby" Lindsay said hugging her "I'll be back soon" she whispered low enough so Billy wouldn't hear
"You wont get away with this" Ryan said to him and Billy stalked over to Ryan
"If you would have just butted out all those years ago none of this would have happened!" he yelled and then hit Ryan over the head with a gun causing Lucy to cry more
"Ryan" Lindsay cried out
"We need to go Lindsay before he wakes up he'll try to stop us again" Billy told her and Lindsay nodded
"Ok just a minute" Lindsay said turning her attention back to Lucy "Baby when I put you down I want you to call your daddy ok?"
"I dos know how" Lucy sniffled
"Sure you do, you know how to use mommy's phone better then me" Lindsay whispered
"Now Lindsay" Billy said anxiously
"Ok" Lindsay said giving her a kiss and placing her on the floor by Ryan "I love you baby"
"Loves you too" Lucy sniffled again then Lindsay walked out the door with Billy "Rye Rye?" Lucy questioned but he didn't wake up. Lucy then did as she was told and found her mother's phone she held it in her hands and started touching buttons "Where's daddee?" she questioned to herself. She instead just hit the green button and heard it dial and placed the phone to her ear
"Bonesera" Stella said into the phone
"Dad-ee?" Lucy questioned confused she knew that wasn't her dad's voice
"Lucy?" Stella asked into the phone
"Yes" Lucy responded still confused
"Luce do you have your mom's phone?" Stella asked
"She said to" Lucy told the strange the voice
"Where's your mom?" Stella asked her
"She left wif the man" Lucy told her "I need dad-ee"
"Are you by yourself?" Stella asked starting to get really worried
"No Rye-Rye is sleeping" Lucy told her
"Lucy stay on the phone ok? Do not hang up and I'm going to call your dad ok?"
"Ok" Lucy sighed keeping her eyes on Ryan. On her desk phone Stella dialed Mac's number
"Taylor" Mac answered
"Mac Lucy just called me from Lindsay's phone something's wrong" Stella spat out
"Stella?" Mac questioned
"Yes you need to get to that apartment" Stella demanded
"Alright" Mac said "Keep Lucy on the line with you"
"She is" Stella told him then hung up with Mac
"Hey Luce" Stella said back to Lucy
"Hi" Lucy replied shyly
"Do you remember me? It's Stella" Stella questioned the little girl
"Stellaaa!" Lucy squealed realizing who was talking to
"Yea kiddo it's me. Are you hurt honey?" Stella asked her
"Nopes" Lucy told her
"What about Ryan?" Stella asked her
"Uh-huh, he falleded" Lucy told her
"Ok honey well I called for help they should be there soon" Stella told her
"Okays thanks" Lucy said then all of the sudden the door opened slowly
"Someone their kiddo?" Stella questioned hearing the nose in the background
"Lucy?" Flack asked with his gun out slowly opening the door
"It's Flacke!" Lucy yelled
"Ok I'm going to hang up now, go to Flack ok" Stella instructed
"Ok" Lucy said hitting the big red button "Over heres!" Lucy yelled and Flack ran over to her with two other officers behind him
"Hey kid" Flack yelled putting his gun back in his holster and picking her up "You ok?"
"Uh-huh" Lucy nodded then pointed to Ryan "Hurts"
"Ok kid" Flack said holding Lucy in one arm and kneeling down to feel a pulse on Ryan "He'll be ok Luce"
"Dad-ee?" Lucy sniffled remembering she wanted to see him
"He'll be here in any minute kid" Flack promised "Get me a bus for him" Flack said to the officers "Where's your mom Luce?" he asked her and she shrugged
"She lefted" Lucy told him
"Where? Did she say where?" Flack asked then Danny and Mac ran in
"Luce" Danny said and Lucy hopped out of Flack's arms and ran to her dad "You alright princess?"
"Yes" She sniffled "Momee's gones"
"Where?" Danny asked her softly "Can you tell Daddy what happened?"
"A man" Lucy sniffled then buried her head in Danny's shoulder
"Lucy?" Ryan asked waking up
"Hey where's Lindsay?" Danny asked Ryan
"Billy came in dressed like a pizza guy" Ryan said holding his head in pain "He had a gun"
"Did he say where he was taking her?" Mac asked him
"No he wanted to run away with her" Ryan said "Then he knocked me out"
"I want every cop in the city on the street" Mac said to Flack
"Already on it" Flack said pulling out his phone
"No baby now?" Lucy asked Danny teary eyed and Mac looked over to her
"Danny" Mac said to him
"Lindsay's pregnant" Danny told him "She was going to tell you tomorrow"
"We're going to have every available cop in the city searching" Mac said to him "She'll be fine"
"Yea" Danny mumbled holding Lucy tightly
"We found the pizza delivery guy stripped of his clothes down stairs" an officer told them "He gave a description of the guy it matches Billy Myers"
"How did he find her here?" Danny asked Mac while still trying to calm Lucy down
"He was following me he said" Ryan told them shaking head
"He probably took the pizza's guy car so we have an APB out on that as well" Flack informed them that's when Jo walked into the apartment
"Hey" Jo said walking over "Any word on Lindsay?"
"No" Mac informed her
"Lucy would you like something to drink?" Jo asked Lucy who was still in Danny's arm
"Okays" She said fisting her hands and furiously wiping away the tears
"Thanks" Danny mumbled handing Lucy to Jo who took her into the kitchen
"Now I know you're going to beat yourself up over this but-" Mac started
"I'm not going to waste my time beating myself up" Danny informed his boss "I'm going to devote all my energy into finding my wife and Billy then if I have energy left over I'll use it beating him up" he said to Mac
