Lindsay felt strong arm slip around her waist and a set of lips press against her neck.

"Hey." She smiled at Danny over her shoulder. "Ready to go?"

"Yeah." Danny had had to answer a few questions for the press and change.

"I have to pee." Becky said.

"I don't miss that." Lindsay smiled.

"Nor do I." Danny agreed.

"We'll meet you in the parking lot." Matt told them.

Once they were gone, Lindsay turned around and kissed Danny.

"Have I told you how proud I am of you?" She asked.

"You may have mentioned it. But you can show me when we get home."

"That depends on whether our daughter wants to cooperate." Lindsay kissed him again.

"Where did Stella get to?"

"She was flirting with the short stop last time I saw her." Lindsay replied.

"Best find her if she wants a ride to Mom's. How'd Becky and Matt get here?"

"Cab. They'll need a ride too."

CSI NY CSI NY

"Mom?" Danny called as he opened the door to his parents' house.

"In here." Carrie called.

"We brought some people for dinner."

"Lindsay called. Don is already here." Carried got up.

"How did you beat us here?" Danny asked.

"I didn't get mobbed for autographs." Don shrugged.

"It was only two." Danny countered.

Stella held up a hand indicating five.

"Carrie you remember Stella and my sister Becky and her husband Matt." Lindsay said.

"Hi Mrs Messer." Stella said.

"I've told you before Stella it's Carrie." Carrie corrected her.

"Thank you for having us to dinner." Becky added before stealing the pencil Matt was using to scribble in his notebook.

"Hey." He protested.

"You can finish that later."

"Has Liv been okay?" Lindsay inquired.

"She's been an angel as always. She's asleep."

"I think she's started teething so I doubt it. I'm going to go and check on her." Lindsay stated.

"I'll come with you." Becky added.

"Can I get anyone a drink?" Carrie suggested.

"Let me help." Stella offered.

"So Matt explain to me more about this sabermetrics," Flack requested.

"Sorry about Matt." Becky apologised as they crept into the room where Olivia was sleeping.

"He's a genius, besides we're used to him by now."

"I keep having a reoccurring dream that I leave Matt alone with the twins and he's going to get caught up in some math problem and forget about them."

"He won't do that." Lindsay assured her.

"He missed my last doctor's appointment because had a startling revelation about an unsolvable math problem."

"Babies always have a way of making their presence know. You'll be fine."

"Will I?"

"It's your hormones talking." Lindsay rubbed her arm. "I had some really strange dreams whilst I was pregnant."

"I don't know." Becky sighed.

"Call any woman you know that has kids they'll tell you the same. Hormones have you all over the place; just wait until the nesting instinct kicks in. Matt's office won't know what has hit it."

"She looks so much like you." Becky commented.

"Trust me she's definitely Danny's daughter."
