A/N: Thanks to all of you who've read and reviewed.

I hope you enjoy the chapter.

Danny and Lindsay laughed as they stepped into the cinema hand in hand. The tension of the past few days had finally eased up and Danny's guilt slowly draining away. Cueing in front of the concession stand, Danny smiled as Lindsay wrapped herself around him. Cupping her chin gently with one hand, he tipped her head up and placed a gentle kiss on her lips.

"Next please," the attendant called out, pulling Danny and Lindsay out from their own little world.

"2 cokes and a large popcorn please," said Lindsay as Danny fished out his wallet from his back pocket.

"Thanks man," said Danny as the attendant handed them their popcorn and drinks. Handing over some cash, he waited for the change.

Lindsay placed a hand on Danny's arm, smiling as he turned, "Hey Dan, I'm just going to the bathroom, wait for me?"

"Sure," replied Danny, moving their things to the side as the next customer stepped forward. He watched her disappear into the crowd as the attendant tapped him gently on the shoulder.

"Here's your change sir," said the man.

Danny nodded as he took the change, "Thanks."

Leaning against the side of the counter, Danny checked the time before someone else spoke up.

"Taking your girl out man?" asked a scrawny man from beside him. He was wearing a purple sweater and jeans, carrying an armful of junk food. "Trick is to watch action flicks, you just sit back when the chicks freak out and cling to you," said the man with a laugh.

Danny gave him a weary smile as he watched a woman drag him off by the arms. Thinking back to what the man had said, Danny grinned; there was no way his Montana would 'freak out' in a thriller, she'd probably enjoy it more than he would.

Separating herself from the crowd, Lindsay walked up to Danny and gave him a peck on lips, "What are you smiling at?"

Shaking his head, Danny laughed and handed the drinks to her. "Nothing, just met someone that's all," he said, fishing the tickets out of his wallet. "Come on, let's go."

Silently they sat, his arm around her shoulder, her head resting comfortably against his shoulder. Even though Danny had just finished a long shift, he couldn't deny Lindsay of anything. As the movie continued to play, Danny found his thoughts drifting, his mind no longer concentrating on the movie. Instead, he thought about the beautiful woman he had in his arms, admitting that he was in fact the luckiest guy in New York City.

Die Hard 4. That was what Lindsay had wanted to watch, not a chick flick, nothing sappy, nothing stupid. She wanted to watch an action-packed movie, eliciting a chuckle from Danny as he remembered his earlier conversation with that man. No, his Montana wasn't like any of the other 'chicks'. She was more than that; she was the one rose in a bed of weeds. Lindsay didn't cling to him out of fear, no. She rolled her eyes at the corny lines, sending him looks every so often, she didn't flinch with a shot of a gun, and she even questioned the physics behind the shots. No, Lindsay Monroe was not ordinary, she was special, and she was his.

With a smile on his face, Danny tightened his arms around Lindsay, pulling her closer. Sending him a content smile, Lindsay settled once again in his embrace, lulled by the lazy circles he was drawing on her arms. Her eyes closed momentarily, her mind blocking out the sounds, leaving only the gentle beating of his heart; strong and consistent, just like him. Lindsay snuggled closer, content to be in his arms, the movie half forgotten.

As the credits rolled in, they stood up, stretching slightly before Danny took Lindsay's hand in his and led them out of the theatre. Walking out onto the New York Streets, Lindsay noticed Danny yawn slightly as she entwined their hands together.

"Come on cowboy, let's go home," said Lindsay with gentle smile.

Danny nodded as he flagged down a cab, letting Lindsay enter as he stood by the door.

"Ever the gentleman," teased Lindsay once Danny got in.

"Always Montana," Danny winked, leaving Lindsay in a bout of chuckles as she scooted closer to lean her head against his shoulder.

"Thanks for the movie Dan," said Lindsay softly, her fingers stroking his palm gently, her eyes locked on their entwined hands.

"Anything for you Linds," replied Danny as he gave her a kiss.

Reaching their apartment block, Danny and Lindsay got out as he paid the driver. Taking her hand in his once again, they made their way up, both sporting loving smiles. Entering the elevator, Danny wrapped his arms around her waist from the back, pressing a gentle kiss to her forehead. As they reached their floor, the parted slightly, but hands still entwined, leaving the other occupants of the elevator with knowing smiles.

Entering their apartment, Lindsay settled onto the couch as Danny locked the door. Joining her on the couch and wrapped his arms around his love, smiling as Lindsay leaned back into his embrace.

"Danny," Lindsay whispered.

"Hmm?"

"What changed?" Lindsay asked, her fingers playing with his.

Danny shifted slightly, allowing him to see her eyes. "What d'ya mean Montana?" he asked, signs of worry starting to appear.

Lindsay smiled lovingly, "You used to be so brash and hot-headed, now you're cuddling? I thought you didn't cuddle."

Placing a kiss to her temple, Danny returned her smile. "You changed me Montana, I grew up."

Lindsay chuckled and leaned further into his chest.

"Do you…" Danny trailed off.

"No, I don't love you any less Danny. If not the same, I love you more," Lindsay whispered, placing a kiss against his lips.

He bit back a yawn. At her knowing look, Danny managed a sheepish grin before he was dragged back onto his feat.

"Montana, I was comfortable right there," he whined.

"You're such a big baby you know that. Wait till the entire lab finds out," Lindsay replied, dragging him by the hand to the bedroom.

"You wouldn't dare," stated Danny.

"Oh?" Lindsay turned back to him. "And why wouldn't I dare?"

Leaning in, Danny whispered conspiratorially in her ear, "'Cause you're sleeping on the couch otherwise."

"You're too big a teddy bear to let me sleep on the couch all alone," Lindsay retorted.

"That's what you think," replied Danny with a yawn.

Lindsay grinned, pushing him into the bathroom, "That's what I know."

Walking back into the room, Danny shed his clothes, leaving him only in his boxers. Climbing under the sheets, he looked up to Lindsay, who was walking out of the room. "Where ya goin' Montana?" he asked.

"I'm just gonna get a glass of water cowboy," Lindsay replied before leaving the room.

Returning not 5 minutes later, Lindsay smiled at the sight of Danny already asleep. He was exhausted and she was surprised that he'd agreed to go out for the movie. The warm tingle was back as she slipped in beside him. Snuggling closer as his chest pressed against her back, Lindsay drifted to sleep as she felt his arms entwine around her waist.

Slipping into his own bed, Flack groaned in pleasure as his back hit the soft mattress. He was on call and hoped to god that he wouldn't be called in. As his mind sifted through the day's events, a smile crept onto his face at the memory of their first kiss. He knew Rebecca wasn't like other women; she could hold herself in an argument, she wasn't completely reserved but not completely overbearing either. Inside, he knew he couldn't blow it this time round. As his fingers brushed his lips, a soft sigh escaped as his eyes slowly drooped to a close with thoughts of a certain brunette dancing through his mind.

"So you guys are together now?" asked Adam, sitting comfortably on Rebecca's bed clutching his own mug of hot chocolate.

Rebecca nodded and took a sip from her mug, "Yeah, I guess we are."

Adam returned the nod and grinned, "Maybe now would be a good time to have the talk about safe sex, and keeping it down."

Tossing a pillow to his face, they both laughed. "Just for that, I'll make sure we make it as loud humanly possible," said Rebecca. "And if that spills, you're washing my sheets."

"So you have thought about sleeping with him," Adam said, his eyebrows raised.

Rebecca blushed slightly, "I think you need to go away now. I'm tired."

"I'm sure you are," Adam replied with a smirk as he got off the bed.

"Shut up Adam, this is the last time I'm giving you a blow by blow account of my dates you moron," said Rebecca, turning over as she snuggled into her sheets.

Adam chuckled as he walked out, "Night Becky." He switched off the lights, making his way to his own room, switching off the apartment lights and making sure the door was locked on the way.

Rebecca smiled into her pillow, thoughts of Flack flashing through her mind, lulling her to sleep with every grin and smirk.
