"How's the patient?" Stella asked as she followed Danny through to the front room.
"Amazingly annoying" he replied sarcastically as he scooted back under the warmth of the thick blanket, Lindsay moved and rested between his legs giving Stella room to sit down, her elbows 'accidentally' dug into his upper thighs. "Jeez Montana it was a joke" he told her mocking fake pain.
"How are ya Stel?" Lindsay asked once she was comfortable between his thighs her head resting on his chest, hands entwined.
"Good Kiddo, you gonna have to come for a shopping trip when your all better" Stella replied, to which Lindsay nodded with a smile, "Kendall wants to get the dresses sorted by the end of the week" she told them to which Danny groaned "Don't think you're getting out of it Messer, you need to get a suit with Adam"
"Does Adam know how hot I look in jeans?" he asked sarcastically to which both women laughed.
"It's a good job I love you right, because you and your ego can seriously overwhelm a girl" Lindsay laughed as she turned her head up to look at him.
"Yeah well good job I love country girls from Montana, especially one's named Lindsay Monroe" his lips reached down to kiss her.
Stella couldn't help but laugh at her two friends. They were a couple that were going to last a long time if not forever, they had overcome more than what any other couple had had to deal with and yet they were together and going strong.
Lindsay awoke feeling miles better than she had the day before, agreeing to meet Stella and Kendall to go dress shopping, she poured herself in to the hot bath that she had run for herself, Danny had left for work in the early hours of the morning leaving the bed cold in his wake unable to sleep since he had gone she had moved to the living room to watch TV.
Relaxing in the water, she fingered the small tattoo that she had had done on her inner wrist, her and Danny had gotten the same one, an inked reminder of their daughter, three single letters 'EAM' done in fancy writing, she missed her terribly, they both did.
Rinsing the shampoo from her hair she pulled the plug and wrapped herself in Danny's large towel, moving back into the bedroom she dressed and checked her cell phone messages. Her heart leaping as she read the short message from Danny telling her that he loved her.
Calling for Stella and Kendall to come in, she wrapped her long hair into a hair band she spritzed herself with perfume and told them she was ready to go.
Kendall had dragged them around five bridal stores before they ended back in the first store they had visited, choosing the peach colored floor length gowns, with a darker peach sash around the waist, the assistant ushered them into the back to be measured up.
Satisfied with their selection they headed to the bar across the street for something to eat and drink.
Heading back into the warmth of her apartment she stepped into Danny's embrace gratefully. "How you feeling babe?" he asked as he kissed her gently in welcome.
"Good, it was good to just hang out" she told him with a smile her lips met his once more, their kissing quickly grew deeper and more passionate, lifting her swiftly he carried her through to the bedroom and laid her on the bed, never once breaking their kiss.
Lifting her top over her head he traced kisses down her chest, teasing her nipples through her lacy bra as she moaned at his contact, her fingers brushed down his sides as she stripped his top off him, latching her lips back on to his she moaned once more.
"Your beautiful" he whispered to her as he nuzzled her neck, closing her eyes in ecstasy she fisted her hands into his hair and held him closer to her.
Lying entangled in each others sweaty bodies they breathed deeply, still out of breath and coming down from their orgasms he turned to face her as she spoke to him "I found a wedding dress today" she told him.
"I set a date with the vicar" he kissed her before he told her "for Christmas eve" she had told him once that she would love to get married on Christmas eve, it had taken a lot of persuading but he had swung it for her.
"Are you serious?' she asked eyes wide in disbelief.
Nodding at her with a sheepish smile she kissed him with love and admiration. "I told you I'd make it your dream day, you wanted to get married at Christmas and short of the day itself I figured Christmas eve would be OK" he told her once she had pulled back.
"Christmas eve is better than Christmas day" she assured him, as she rested her head back onto his chest, "so we have three months to prepare for the big day" she told him softly her voice laced thick with tiredness.
"Yeah, so you going to tell me about this dress?" he asked.
"No, that's gonna be a big secret until the day itself, no one is going to see that apart from me" she told him stubbornly.
"How will I know what suit to get? I have to match" he pouted
"The dress is white" she told him and then closed her eyes to signal the end of the conversation. Smiling at her he closed his own eyes and followed her into sleep.
