Two months after the wedding Lindsay was laying in bed thinking about how lucky she was. A little over two years ago her world was turned upside down when Danny died. She never thought that she would love again nor did she want too. She was content raising their daughter and being alone. Then Flack did the unthinkable. He made her feel again. He was there was when she needed someone to talk too and when all she wanted was someone to hold her. He did the unthinkable because he made her love again and for that she would forever be grateful. She looked over at the man sleeping next to her and smiled. She indeed was a very lucky woman.
A couple days later Stella walked into the locker room and heard the distinct sound of someone throwing up. She turned the corner and saw Lindsay clinging for dear life to one of the toilets.
"You okay kiddo?" Stella asked.
"Do I look okay Stella?" Lindsay snapped back. Stella just stared at her. "Sorry, I did not mean to snap at you. I feel like crap." Stella leaned over and put her hand on Lindsay's head.
"Well you don't have a fever. Maybe it was something you ate?" Stella felt bad for her friend, she looked miserable.
"No I know exactly what it is." Lindsay leaned against the wall and closed her eyes. "I have only felt like this one other time."
"Are you saying what I think you are saying?" Stella asked, barely able to contain her excitement.
"I think I might be pregnant."
"Oh my god that is great." Stella just about screamed, but then she noted the not so thrilled looked Lindsay's face. "This is good news right?"
"Don and I have never really talked about having kids of our own before." Lindsay pulled herself up and Stella helped her over to the bench. "And what about Bella? She has been an only child for eight years now."
"First of all Flack is going to be thrilled when he finds out." Stella smiled. "And second of all Bella might rebel at first but she will love being a big sister. Trust me."
"You are probably right."
"Of course I am." Stella put her arm around Lindsay's shoulders. "Now why don't I go down to the drug store and pick up a pregnancy test and you can find out for sure?" Lindsay nodded. "Okay, I will be right back. Are you going to be okay?" Lindsay nodded again and Stella got up to leave. Lindsay laid down on the bench and was trying to focus on not getting sick.
A little while later Stella returned with two tests. Lindsay came out of the bathroom and sat the two tests on the counter and set the timer.
"And now we wait." Lindsay said as she sat down next to Stella.
Flack had been looking for his wife for over an hour now and wasn't having much luck. He knew that Lindsay had not felt well that morning and he wanted to make sure she was okay.
"Hey Adam, have you seen Lindsay?"
"She was here earlier but then she said that she did not feel well." Adam shrugged his shoulders. "The last time I saw her she was headed for the locker room."
"Okay, thanks Adam." Flack turned around and made a beeline for the locker room. Flack pushed the door open and saw Lindsay sitting there with Stella, looking like death warmed over.
"Lindsay, baby, are you okay?" Flack said as he walked into the room. "Adam said that you were not feeling good."
"I am okay. Just a little upset stomach." Flack walked over to where Lindsay was sitting on the bench. He picked up the bag that was sitting next to her so that he could sit down, but an empty box fell out. He bent over to pick up the box and his heart stopped. In his hand he was holding a pregnancy test box. All he could do was stare at the box. He knew Lindsay was watching him but all he could do was stare at the box.
"Don, say something?"
"I…" Flack was at a complete lose of words. He slowly sat down on the bench next to Lindsay, still staring at the box. About that time the timer went off, causing the three of them to jump.
"Would like me to go Linds?" Stella asked, thinking that maybe Lindsay would want to be alone with Flack.
"No you can stay." Lindsay turned to Flack and took the box from his hand. "Don, look at me." Slowly Flack turned to look at Lindsay. "I am going to go other there," Lindsay pointed to the counter, "and look at the tests, but before I do I need to know what you are thinking."
"I am not sure what I am thinking right now. I mean one hand I am happy but on the other hand I am scared shitless." Lindsay smiled at the fact that Flack had said that he was happy. "I mean I know that we have Bella and I love her like she is my own, but this is different."
"Do you want to look at the test with me?"
"No you look. I am not sure I can get my legs to move right now." Flack joked.
"Okay." Lindsay got up and walked over to the counter. She picked up both tests and read the results. Slowly she sat them back down and turned around to face Stella and Flack.
"Well?" Stella asked barely able to stand it.
"Well it looks like your going to be a father Don." Lindsay smiled. Suddenly Flack leapt to his feet and ran over to Lindsay. He picked her up and began swinging her around. "Easy there cowboy." Lindsay teased as Flack sat her back down. "Remember the part about the upset stomach?"
"Oh I am sorry. I am just so excited. I cannot believe we are going to have a baby."
"Congratulations guys, I am so happy for you." Stella said she hugged Lindsay.
"What is going on in here?" Mac asked as he stuck his head into the locker room. "Everything okay?"
"Everything is great Mac." Flack said proudly. "Better than great actually, I am going to be a father."
"Are you serious?" Mac asked looking at Lindsay. Lindsay nodded and could not help but smile as she saw how happy Mac looked. "Lindsay that is great." Mac pulled Lindsay into a hug.
"Thanks Mac. Are you sure you are ready for another nine months my crazy mood swings?" Lindsay joked as she thought back to when she was pregnant with Bella and how Mac had threatened to send her home on more than one occasion.
"If that is what it takes to have another god daughter or son then it is a sacrifice that I am willing to make." Mac laughed but then he began to think that maybe they would ask someone else. Flack might want his brother or maybe even Hawkes.
"Don't worry Mac." Flack said as he noticed the worried look on Mac's face. "We would not have it any other way." Mac breathed a sigh of relief and smiled. Standing behind Lindsay, Stella cleared her throat.
"Oh, come on Stella. Who else would I ask?"
