Chapter Eleven
Danny was looking intently at Lindsay. She was trying to avoid his gaze, she felt uncomfortable.
"Lindsay, what's going on, why wont you look at me?"
Lindsay had a tearstained face, she breathed in deep and looked at Danny. She cried softly and spoke.
"We had never really spoken about this…"
"Lindsay, don't keep me guessing please, just tell me!"
"Danny, I knew this morning, but I really didn't want to say anything, I needed to be positive, when I came here the Dr's confirmed it."
Danny was getting nervous, was Lindsay ill?
"Confirmed what?"
"Danny, I'm pregnant."
Danny looked at Lindsay, he didn't know what to say.
"Danny say something."
"Your pregnant?…Lindsay that's…"
Lindsay jumped in before Danny could finish.
"I knew you wouldn't like this, were not even married yet and I am already pregnant, and we had never even spoken about kids, and then what are people going to think, they will probably think I have trapped you…"
"Whoa slow down there Linds, let me finish."
"Sorry."
Lindsay calmed herself down and looked back at Danny, he was so battered and bruised, but according to Stella he looked much better than he did when he first arrived in the hospital. Within the space of a couple of months Lindsay had been sat by Danny's hospital bed, something she hoped she would never have to do again.
"Lindsay, its true we never talked about kids, but its something I assumed we would have…together, yeah ok maybe the timing isn't perfect, but I don't care, it's a baby, our baby, and that's something I want more than the world.
Lindsay smiled and looked even more in love with Danny, if that was possible.
"Its what I want as well, Danny I am so glad you think its good as well."
"Yeah I do, but the fact of it is, I am gunna be worrying like mad if it is a girl, she is gunna have her mothers good looks, the boys wont be able to stay away."
Lindsay laughed.
"Danny, the baby isn't even 3 months old yet, in fact its hasn't been born yet, I think it's a bit early to start worrying about that."
"Yeah sorry, what a day eh Linds."
Danny leaned over to Lindsay and kissed her on the forehead.
"I propose in the morning, you get attacked at a crime scene and well I cant really remember what happened to me…I don't think I want to remember."
Danny looked solemn and sad. Lindsay put her hand to his face and cupped it and brought it towards her face.
"And you don't have to remember, we are going to start afresh, we are going to act as though today never happened…well apart from the proposal and the pregnancy."
Danny smiled the biggest smile, looked into Lindsay's eyes and kissed her.
He reached his arms around her back and brought her into a embrace, they stayed there for a while, Lindsay eventually fell asleep with Danny holding her, she knew that things were back.
