Lindsay laid with her head under their Christmas tree. The three of them had put it up last week as per Bella's request. Things were still tense between Danny and Lindsay but never in front of Bella. It was Christmas Eve, Danny and Bella were out doing last minute shopping. Lindsay just lied there thinking. When she was a kid this was what her and her friends would do when the tree was up they would lie under it and talk for hours. This was her first Christmas with Bella and Danny god knows she didn't want it to be like this but that's how it's going to be. While she was lying there thinking the baby starting moving like crazy. She started rubbing her stomach and singing the song that Danny's mom taught her, she use to sing it to Danny when he was a baby and now Lindsay had started to sing it to hers.
"Nana bobò,
nana bobò,
tutti i bambini dormen
e Guido no.
E dormi, dormi, dormi per un anno,
La sanità a to padre poi il guadagno
E dormi, dormi, dormi, bambin de cuna.
To mama no la gh'è la a-sé andà via
Nana bobò,
nana bobò,
tutti i bambini dormen
e Guido no" Lindsay was quite surprised at how well her Italian was. She always learned stuff fast but she was quite proud of herself. When she was singing she didn't hear Danny and Bella come home. Danny had remembered the song from his childhood but never heard Lindsay singing it. Standing in the door way he couldn't help but smile at hearing her singing to their baby in Italian. The moment Bella seen Lindsay lying there she ran to be beside her mother.
"Hi baby did you have fun" She turned on her side to face Bella.
"Yes I got you and the baby presents." She was obviously excited.
"Wow did you use your own money?" Lindsay couldn't help but joke with the little girl.
"No silly it was Daddy's money I just picked them out" Bella had a huge smile on her face that Lindsay loved.
"That's the way to do it baby girl" Lindsay was tickling Bella's stomach. Danny was just standing there watching them amazed at how Lindsay is with Bella. Lindsay and Bella got out from under the tree and Lindsay gave Danny a kiss. When Bella was around they were happy no hitting no swearing a few back handed comments but they were happy. Since the incident as they now refer to it Lindsay has been still angry and when they were alone she wouldn't talk to him and if she did it wasn't always nice.
"How was shopping Danny?" She tried to look in the bags that the two had brought back.
"It was good lots of gifts as you can see." He waved the bags in front of her face.
"Can I see please?" Lindsay started to pout wanting to see what they bought.
"Come on Montana if Bella can wait one more day I'm pretty sure you can" Danny took the bags and went into the room to wrap them.
"You ready for your bath baby?" Lindsay put her hands out to reach for Bella.
"Yeah mommy then put cookies for Santa then bed" Lindsay was shocked that her daughter wanted to go to bed without fighting. The two headed for the bathroom while Danny finished the gifts. Lindsay finished all her stuff up with Bella and put her to bed.
"Mommy" Bella looked at her while she pulled her blankets up over her.
"Yes baby"
"Can you sing that song to me" Bella asked scared of getting a no.
"You heard mommy baby." Lindsay started to blush.
"Yes can you sing it to me?"
"Of course baby girl" Lindsay rubbed her hair and started to sing the song again. Lindsay didn't even finish it and Bella was already asleep. Lindsay kissed the top of Bella head and tip toed out the door. She loved Bella and no matter how unhappy she was right now she will never abandon that little girl. Lindsay went into her room and lied on the bed Danny had still been in the room since he got home.
"Hey Montana what's up?"
"Nothing tired" Lindsay snapped out her answer. After she said it she realized how hurtful they were she also seen it in Danny's eyes.
"I'm sorry Danny I'm just tired tomorrow is going to be crazy."
"Lindsay where did you learn that song?" He wanted so bad to be ok again to be where they were 2 months ago.
"Your mom she taught me it when she found out I was pregnant she wanted me to be able to sing it to our baby." Lindsay rested her hand over her growing stomach and let a few tears fall. Danny lied down beside her and put his hand on top of hers. Lindsay cuddled into the crook of this neck and moved his hand to where their baby was kicking. Danny was shocked at the closeness of Lindsay right now but he wouldn't change it for anything. He thought that this time was as good as time as any to tell her the doctor called.
"Lindsay" When she heard her name she pulled back and looked him in the eyes.
"Yeah"
"The doctor called today." Lindsay could feel her breath catch in her throat and her heart skiped a beat.
He bent down to whisper into her ear" I'm clear and healthy" He rested his head back down on his pillow. Lindsay sat up and looked him in the eyes she couldn't be happier those results was the last tie to this horrible thing in their life. There was no way in hell that she completely forgave him but it was a start and she was sick of being alone.
"That's good Messer" She told him with a smile. She didn't wait for him to say anything more when she kissed him. It had been a while since she kissed him like this. It wasn't the kiss she would give him in front of Bella so she wouldn't ask questions it was a kissed that told him she still loved him.
"God I missed you Montana"
"I missed you to Danny now stop talking and kiss me" She placed her hands and his chest and started kissing him again. Lindsay grabbed for Danny's shirt and pulled it off. Lindsay missed the way his body looked and felt she wanted him so bad in the past few days but she couldn't until she knew he was safe and couldn't hurt her and her baby. She kissed down his chest and started to undo his jeans she couldn't get his clothes off fast enough.
"Lindsay you sure you want this" He wanted her he never stopped but he didn't want to push her.
"Danny I'm sure now please make love to me." She had that look in her eyes again the look that told him there was hope and she wanted him. Without further hesitation Lindsays clothes were off and they were having sex like nothing happened. The sex was amazing and the two laid there just smiling at each other.
"Danny I love you and I'll try but best to let it go" She rested her head against his chin.
"I love you too Montana" Danny looked at the clock and seen it was now midnight.
"Merry Christmas Montana" he reached over to his nightstand and picked up a box he left out.
"Merry Christmas to you too Danny" She kissed his nose.
"Why don't you pull on my sweats and meet me on the fire escape." Lindsay was slightly confused but did as was told. When she got out there Danny was waiting already with a blanket. He opened his arms and wrapped them around her.
"Why are we out here?"
"Because it's snowing and its Christmas and I wanted to give you this." Danny handed her the box. Lindsay eyes lit up when she opened it.
"Danny it's beautiful" It was a ring. An eternity band that had pink and white diamonds in it. She slipped it onto her ring finger on her right hand.
"The moment I seen the ring it reminded me of you beautiful. I made sure it was an eternity band because I want to be with you for the rest of my life." Hearing this made Lindsay cry. She loved him god how she loved him this had been hard but for the first time in a while she could see hope that she would make it through this.
"I love you Danny"
"I love you too Montana." He kissed her lightly just brushing her lips then he whispered in her ear.
"Forever and a day."
