Chapter Fifteen

Lindsay was sitting in up in her bed when Danny opened the door slowly and peered his head round the door, he smiled nervously and walked into the room, to Lindsay's side.

He sat on the edge of the bed and lent in and kissed Lindsay. She had obviously been crying, her eyes were red and puffy, her cheeks still stained. She looked up and began to cry again.

"Danny I am so sorry, I put myself and the baby at risk, we were so close to losing it."

Danny pulled Danny into an embrace and rocked her gently back and forth.

"Shh, Lindsay, we are all still here, everything is going to be perfect, you, us and the baby."

Lindsay held Danny tight.

"I thought I had lost the baby Danny, and all I could think was how much you were going to hate me."

Danny kissed the top of Lindsay's head, and rubbed his hand up and down her back.

"I could never hate you Linds, never, I wouldn't be able to bring myself to. So don't you ever think that I could ever hate you, 'cause I wouldn't, I couldn't."

Lindsay sniffed and looked up at Danny and smiled through her tears.

"I love you so much Danny."

"I love you to Linds, don't ever scare me like that again do you hear me, I couldn't cope if I was to lose you."

Lindsay smiled playfully.

"You've got it bad."

Danny just laughed and kissed Lindsay again.

"What can I say, I fell hard when I fell for you."

Lindsay looked at Danny who was now sitting in the chair next to Lindsay's bed, her face said it all.

"Do you realise how incredibly corny that sounded?"

"Yes, yes I do."

Lindsay shook her head as she laughed at Danny who seemed to be unfazed by it, he was to busy looking at the woman who was carrying his child, as well as being the woman he was going to marry.

"Danny, I know I look a mess right now but there is no need to stare."

Danny smirked. Lindsay cringed.

"I feel another corny line coming on, is there anything I can do to save myself from it?"

Danny nodded.

Lindsay was sitting back in her bed she was smiling widely.

"Well are you going to let me in on it?"

"I suppose. I will stop coming out with the corny one liners you seem to hate on one condition."

Lindsay stared.

"That is?"

"You have to stop working."

Lindsay burst out laughing, she was cracking up, but she stopped when her stomach started hurting, and also when she saw that Danny's face was the most serious she had probably ever seen it.

"Your not kidding, are you?"

"No, I am deadly serious."

Danny, you cannot expect me to just drop work and sit in the apartment all day, you know that's not going to happen, I think I will just cope with the corny one liners."

Danny sighed and took off his glasses and rubbed the rim of his nose.

"Its not about the one liners Linds, its more than that. You need to take care of yourself and the baby. You cant do that at the lab, not with all the different chemicals and shit that's around."

Lindsay was getting annoyed.

"Danny, I am not just going to stop work, fair enough I will nearer to my due date, that's understandable, but I am good, not just good, I am fucking good at my job and just because I am pregnant I am not going to let that hinder me."

"Linds this isn't about you anymore, you have a child inside of you, think of the dangers, what if you were attacked at a crime scene, not only could I lose you, we could lose the baby as well."

Lindsay was really not in the mood to be told what to do at this point in time. She was angry and hurt that just because she was pregnant her life had to change. Why was being pregnant becoming to be a chore in Lindsay's eyes.

"Danny, do you know what I know that I have a child inside of me, and you take pleasure in reminding me of that everyday, sometimes I wish I wasn't pregnant, sometimes I wish it never happened!"

Lindsay gasped and put her hands over her mouth, she looked on as Danny looked at her with shock and hurt. He stood up and walked over to the door, he looked back at Lindsay.

"I didn't think I would ever hear you say that Lindsay, never. If that's how you feel, you have to ask yourself if maybe, just maybe I am really the man you want to spend the rest of your life with."

Danny opened the door and as he was walking out he heard Lindsay call his name. He stopped.

"Danny…Danny I didn't mean what I said, you know I love you and this baby."

Danny didn't turn around.

"Lindsay, you wouldn't have said it, unless there was a part of you that meant it."

With that Danny left Lindsay alone in her room, the tears falling fast in both their eyes, something that should have been one of the many happy days in their life, had turned into the makings of a day neither would want to revisit.

Stella was walking towards Lindsay's room when she saw Danny walking towards her, eyes to the floor, making no attempt to make eye contact with anyone.

"Danny?"

He ignored her and carried on straight past him, she managed to see that he was upset, it didn't take rocket science to figure out what the source of the upset was. She walked at a quicker pace towards Lindsay's room once there she saw Lindsay, slowly climbing out of bed. Stella rushed in.

"Lindsay! Where do you think your going?"

Lindsay was still crying.

"I have to…find Danny…I need to…apologise, I need to make things right."

"Ok sweetie, how about, you tell me what happened and we give Danny time to cool off?"

Lindsay nodded and sat back in her bed, she wiped away her tears with her gown and looked at Stella, she was sitting exactly where Danny had been sitting.

"You would have thought after everything, we would be ok now, well you think wrong."

Stella said nothing and continued to look at Lindsay.

"I said the most awful things Stella, I don't think he is ever going to forgive me."

"Of course he will, he has to let off some steam, you know what he is like Linds, he cant hate you, he loves you far to much for that."

"I know he does, but what I said, it was such a low blow."

Stella was confused.

"What did you say to him?"

Lindsay breathed in deep.

"I told him that sometimes I wished I wasn't pregnant, I told him I sometimes wished it never happened. How could I have said that?"

Stella was taken aback.

"Something must have triggered it Linds."

"It was Danny, he made me so mad, he was telling me that I had to stop working, but I told him that just because I was pregnant didn't mean I couldn't still do my job. Then Danny tried the guilt trip, and I don't know something just snapped, and before I knew it, I had said it. Now he said I need to think about whether he is the man I want to spend the rest of my life with. Like I need to think about that."

"Linds, give Danny some time, he will come around he cant expect you to stop work completely. Let me speak to him and get him to come back, its obvious you love him, the world can see that."

"Thanks Stella, but I think I want to tell him myself, as soon as I can get out of here and find him the better, could you help me change?"

Stella laughed.

"You don't have to change darling, he wouldn't have left the hospital, he wouldn't dream of it, just chuck a dressing gown on and I will help you find him."

Lindsay slowly slid out of bed and made her way into a dressing gown and smiled at Stella, who took her by the hand and helped her with her IV trolley.

"When I passed him in the corridor, he was headed this way."

Stella and Lindsay turned towards the direction Stella was pointing. The search began.
