The next morning Dani and Randy awoke up to her doctor entering the room. "Morning Doc." Dani said stretching.

Randy quickly hopped off the bed, he didn't know if he was going to get in trouble for sleeping in the bed with her.

"Well, I'm going to guess that you didn't have any seizures over night because there's nothing in your chart." The doctor noted as he read over her overnight rounds log.

"No seizures. And the nurse was happy with how much my blood pressure had dropped, so now it's back in the normal range." Dani added.

"There was a nurse in here overnight?" Randy asked confused. He didn't remember anyone coming in the room.

"Yup, 3 times sweetie." Dani said with a smile and patted him on the shoulder.

The doctor laughed, "Well, Randy turns out you're the medicine Dani needs, her vitals have all improved and stabilized since you arrived yesterday. Dani, how would you like to go home?"

Danielle smiled, "I would love it!"

"Go ahead and get dressed and pack up your things, I'll be back in about 20 minutes to go over your discharge instructions."

"Yes sir." Dani said standing up slowly.

After the doctor left, Randy held her close. "Ok, tell me something."

"Tell you what?"

"How did you do it?" Randy asked.

"Do what?"

"Hide the ring? It doesn't look anything like the promise ring you've worn." Randy asked holding her hand with the new 2.0-carat; marquis-cut diamond engagement ring on it.

"Well, when dad came in, I turned it so that all you would see was the band. That way no one would get suspicious. But, it dug into my hand so bad when I closed it, that I just tried to keep my hand under the covers for the most part." Dani said with a smirk.

"You're a quick-thinking girl aren't ya?" Randy said tickling her a little bit.

"So, where are we going to dinner tonight? I need to tell my dad so that he'll go and buy something nice to wear." Dani asked. Her dad was never the type to dress up, he was way too blue collar for that.

"Alright fine, we're going to The Lotus. I have the back dining room reserved for us, so yes he'll need something nice to wear. If he wants, Nathan and I can pick him up and bring him up here and shop with us, then either my folks or Becky can drop him off at home." Randy offered.

"The Lotus?" Dani said excitedly. "Are you sure, it'll be expensive."

"Honey, it'll be fine. I promise." Randy said kissing her. "You call your dad, I'm going to go out to my car real quick and grab my bag."

"Ok." She grabbed the phone and called her dad to set up the arrangements.

Randy got back just as he heard Dani explaining to her dad that the Lotus was a fancy restaurant and he could go shopping with Randy and his brother Nathan. He walked in and smiled at her.

Dani hung up the phone, "Ok, he said that he'll go shopping with you as long as you guys promise not to make him wear anything flashy."

"I promise." Randy said holding up his right hand.

The doctor walked in while Randy was in the bathroom changing. He looked at Danielle, "Ok, here are your discharge instructions. You are to take it easy, which means no working for the rest of the week. You can return to work on Monday. If you have any more seizures or high blood pressure episodes, I'm going to put you on bed rest. So you will take it easy, try to stay stress-free, make sure to have fun, and no more working 60+ hours a week."

Danielle nodded, "Yes doctor, I understand. From now on I'll be a good girl."

Randy piped up from the bathroom, "I'll make sure of it."

The doctor laughed, "You might still be very sore in your chest region, so remember you can only take Tylenol due to the little one. If it becomes bright red, if you notice that it seems to seep pus, or if you develop a high fever go to the emergency room right away. Any questions?"

Danielle shook her head no.

"Good, the just sign at the bottom and you are free to go."

She signed the form. "Thanks doctor."

"I want to see you in two weeks for a follow-up." The doctor said as he took the chart back from her and handed her her copy of the discharge instructions. "Take care."

She smiled and waved as he left. Randy came out of the bathroom, "Let's hit the road. When can I pick up your dad?"

"He's getting off of work at noon, so he'll be home by 12:30pm. Are you sure you don't mind driving all the way back to St. Louis to get him?" Dani asked concerned.

"No I don't mind. I promised Nathan I'd go shopping with him anyway, so I'll already be in St Louis." Randy explained as he grabbed her bag.

"Just making sure." Dani replied.

Randy rubbed her tummy and kissed her, "I still can't believe that there's a baby in there. You're still really little."

"Baby, I'm only a little over 2 months along, I'd better not show that much." Dani said kissing him back. "But I can see that my tummy is a little more rounded and sticks out a little more than normal."

Randy laughed and took her by the hand and they left the hospital. He dropped her off at the apartment and headed off to St. Louis.

Danielle took a shower as soon as she got inside. She had to get the smell of hospital off of her. When she came out of the shower the house phone was ringing. She looked at the caller id and it was her friend Alyssa. They had been friends since they were toddlers, they both lived by Randy growing up. Unfortunately they didn't get to talk as often as they liked anymore.

She smiled and grabbed the phone, "Hello!"

"Hi!" Alyssa squealed. "How are you?"

"Long story, how are you?"

"I'm doing good. I have a HUGE favor to ask of you." Alyssa said in a pleading tone.

"What's that?"

"Well, I have a business trip that is required, so I'm going to be gone for the next two months. But the band has major gigs lined up every weekend through out the tri-state area through the next 6 months, and I could really use you to take over lead vocals." Alyssa explained.

Danielle's mouth dropped, "You want me to take over lead vocals? Hon, I haven't been singing, I haven't been in a band since I moved to Louisville."

"But I know that you've still got it. I know damn well that you still sing in your car, and probably whenever Randy's not around. Girl if he knew how great of a voice you have, he'd be shocked." Alyssa said trying to convince her. She could never figure out why she wouldn't sing in front of Randy.

"Ok, I have sang in that sense, but there's something you need to know about me."

"What's that?" Alyssa asked.

"Well, I'm 2 months pregnant." Danielle said with a smile.

"OH MY GOD! That's wonderful! You can still sing while being pregnant you know."

"I have to take it easy though because I just got out of the hospital." Danielle explained.

Alyssa's total demeanor changed, "Why, are you ok?"

"Well, long story short, when I went in for my physical, not only did I find out about the pregnancy, but I also was told that I had a lump in my breast." She explained.

Alyssa swallowed hard, she remembered when Dani's mom had breast cancer.

"They did a biopsy, it wasn't cancerous, but they were pre-cancerous cells meaning that they were abnormal but not malignant. So I went in for a lumpectomy, but Randy and I were having a tough time again, and I had been working 60-80 hours a week, and my blood pressure was high and I had a seizure on the operating table and then I had a couple more. But they have me on meds, so I have to take it easy." Dani explained.

"Oh sweetie I had no idea. I just knew how much you loved to sing, and now that Randy's on the road you could keep it on the down low like you did before." Alyssa said apologetically. For some reason, Danielle felt the need to keep her passion for music from Randy.

"But, since it's only singing and you don't do a whole lot of dancing, I bet I could pull it off. Randy is always on the road on Friday and Saturday nights." Dani said thinking out loud.

"And all we do is country music with a little bit of 80's mixed in. Sometimes if there's a special request and the band knows it we'll try to fill it. Like I've done a lot of Janet Jackson and whatnot but it's very tame." Alyssa added.

"Alright, count me in. But not a word." Dani said making Alyssa promise.

"I know, not a word. Are you going to be around tomorrow? I can bring you all of the necessary things."

"Make it tomorrow night. Randy flys out in the early afternoon tomorrow.

"Sounds good, I'll call you." Alyssa said excitedly.

"Alright see you tomorrow." Danielle said smiling. And she hung up the phone. She was so excited, she was taking over Alyssa's band for two months. Her and Alyssa were in a band when she was in college, and they toured all over Louisville and St. Louis, but she never told Randy about it. He liked music, but wasn't as passionate about it as she was. She had been in choir and band from elementary school through college, but that was all he knew about. He would give her crap about singing along with almost every song on the radio all the time. So she got uncomfortable about it. But in college she quit singing with the band because Randy had the OVW shows and she wanted to support him with his dreams, so she set hers on the backburner. She would love to sing, whether it be a backup singer, a demo singer or a lead vocalist it didn't matter, but that had always been her dream. But she knew that Randy had enough talent to take it to the top (not to mention some great connections) so she decided to focus on a career she could succeed at. Country radio was so competitive she felt she just didn't have a chance. So Alyssa took the band to a whole new circuit while Danielle focused on becoming an account manager. Now Alyssa's band "Jewel Chest" had a pretty damn good reputation in the tri-state area, and Danielle made head account manager at her company.

She be-bopped out to the radio and turned it on. She might as well start practicing now. She smiled and sang her heart out with every song as she got ready for their special dinner.

She was having a baby, she was getting married, she was taking Alyssa's spot in her band for the next two months, what else could she ask for?

Well, how will dinner go? What about this singing thing? Will she be able to keep it from Randy? Please read and review!
