Thanks for all the reviews! Sorry for the delay in posting this chapter. I had a weird schedule at work this weekend and wasn't able to post it earlier. This is the final chapter of the series, so I hope you all enjoy!

Title: No Denying
Summary: They walked down the hall together, but this time different then any before.
A/N: Takes place 6 months into their relationship.


"Drowning." Lindsay stated. "Are you sure?"

"One hundred percent." Sid said.

"He was found on dry land, in the middle of Central Park." Lindsay thought for a second. "So someone drowned him, then brought him there."

"It appears so." Sid replied. He moved over to the chart, noting his findings. "So…how are things between you and Danny?"

Lindsay looked up from the spot she had been staring at on the table. "Uh…pardon?"

"You and Danny. How's that going?" Sid repeated, still looking at his chart. When he didn't get a response, he looked up to meet Lindsay's confused and shocked expression.

"I don't know what you're talking about." Lindsay said, her voice rather unsure.

"Well aren't you two…I mean, it's obvious to anyone within 20 feet of you…" he said, laughing slightly.

"We aren't…I mean, we're just friends…"

Sid slowly nodded. "Oh, I see. My mistake, I guess."

Lindsay herself nodded, very uncomfortable with the situation she was presently in. Both turned their attention back to the victim in front of them.

"Umm, I found a black fibre in his teeth, sent it up to Adam."

"Ok. I'll go check on that now." Lindsay said, quickly leaving the morgue. Sid watched her leave and smiled to himself.

"Just friends…sure…" he said, laughing to himself.


On her way to the trace lab, Lindsay saw Danny entering the locker room. She quickly made her way in to meet him.

"Danny," she said, entering the room. She quickly scanned the room to make sure they were alone. "We need to talk."

Danny hated that sentence. It never meant anything good.

"What's up?" he asked slowly.

"Hammerback knows."

"What? How?" Danny said, slightly surprised. "Nah, how could he?"

"I don't know…he just does. He asked me how things were between us." She said, motioning between herself and Danny.

"We barely spend any time around him together, he couldn't."

"He's perceptive. He knew you had a crush on me." She pointed out.

Danny laughed. "Hey, I wasn't the only one who had a-"

Lindsay cut him off. "I know, I know, but it's just…maybe we haven't been hiding this as well as we thought. I mean, Hawkes must know and now Sid. The others have probably picked up on it by now."

Danny thought for a moment, and nodded. "We have been a bit clumsier lately, haven't we?" he said, referring to the supply closet incident.

"Do you think that it's time we just come out with it?" Lindsay said.

"Well," Danny said, moving closer to her, putting his arms around her waist. "It sucks not being able to let the world know what a beautiful girl I'm with."

"Such a charmer, Messer." Lindsay replied.

"I try my best." Danny laughed. "So, no more hiding?"

"No more hiding."

"Good." He said, kissing her. He pulled back, pushing a ringlet of hair out of her face. "Now, how do we tell them exactly?"

Lindsay thought for a second. "Well, since they all seem to have their suspicions, why don't we let them figure it out. We just stop pretending that nothing is going on."

Danny nodded. "I like the sounds of that plan."

Lindsay gave him another quick kiss. "I have to go check with Adam. I'll see ya in a bit."


At the end of his shift, Danny was in the locker room, sitting on a bench, waiting for Lindsay. They had plans to watch a movie and have dinner at his place that night. Lindsay came in a few minutes later, looking exhausted. She headed straight for her locker.

"This case is so frustrating!" she said. "All the evidence is leading to nowhere." She let out a long sigh in frustration. Danny moved over behind her, rubbing her shoulders. This was something he would always do when a case got to her. Lindsay leaned back into him.

"You have no idea how much I'm looking forward to tonight. I just need to relax."

Danny kissed the nape of her neck. "Let's head out."

Lindsay nodded, grabbed her things from her locker. Once in the hallway, Danny put his arm around the small of her back. Lindsay leaned in a bit closer to him, enjoying the warmth of his body. They walked down the hall together, but this time different then any before.

They passed Mac's office, where he and Stella we discussing a case. Both looked up as they saw them pass, exchanged smiles, and went back to their file. They passed Hawkes, Flack and Adam, who were talking about the latest baseball game. The men stopped when they saw their friends coming towards them.

"See you guys tomorrow." Danny said, nodding.

"Bye." Lindsay said, giving them a small wave. The couple smiled to themselves as they made their way to the elevator.

"I knew it." Flack said as the doors closed. Hawkes laughed beside him.

"We all did, man."


The end.

The ending was rather low key, I guess, but I hope you all liked it!
