"Hey." Becky gave Lindsay a hug.

"Do they know?" She whispered.

"Yes."

"I told Marcie and Lucy."

"Thank you."

They pulled back.

"Hey Matt." Lindsay smiled at her future brother-in-law. "Merry Christmas."

"Same to you."

"Where are the kids?" Becky inquired.

"Watching the Santa Clause with Danny." Lindsay replied. "He helped them build the snowmen earlier."

"I noticed a distinctly your size snow angel on the way in."

"Danny didn't appreciate me dropping snow down his neck." She shrugged. "You should go and see they all look cute."

Becky didn't want to interrupt the scene, so she went and introduced Matt to the rest of the family bar her father and Adam who were still out on the ranch taking care of things.

CSI NY CSI NY

It was a while before Danny walked into the kitchen where all the Monroe women were sat around. Beck and Lindsay were holding their nephews.

"Hey Becky, I didn't know you were here yet." Danny said.

"You look busy I didn't want to interrupt."

"Where are all the kids?" Marcie asked.

"Asleep." Danny replied.

"Clay took Matt for a walk." Lindsay told him before he could ask.

"The kids table needs setting up in the dinning room." Lynne told him. "Second door on the left."

"Okay."

Lindsay handed Sam back to his mother and followed him.

"Are you okay?" She inquired.

"I'm fine." Danny replied.

"Are you sure?"

"Honest." He paused. "I thought you were coming to watch the movie."

"I was but you all looked so cute curled up there I didn't want to interrupt."

"Right." He sighed.

"Danny the kids don't usually take to people like that. My whole family like you, that's a good thing." She assured him.

"I know."

"I just haven't seen them in a while; it's nice to be able to catch up with my family."

"It's okay honestly." Danny assured her.

"Come here." Lindsay closed the door.

"What are you up to Montana?" Danny asked.

"Just put your back to the door."

"Why?"

"So no-one walks in."

She pushed him against the door and kissed.

"What was that for?" Danny asked catching his breath.

"Being so great with the kids."

She kissed him again.

"What was that for?"

"I love you." Lindsay replied. "And I'm really glad here."

Danny took that as his cue to kiss her.

"What was that for?" Lindsay inquired.

"I love you too and I'm glad I'm here. But I have to set up a table for your mom."

"It can wait a few minutes." Lindsay assured him.
