July 15th 1.48

Lindsay smiled at the memory of that night. It had been one of the best in her life so far because it was full of promise for their future and their family.

Stella had noticed her friend's smile so she was not worried about her silence. She sat opposite her friend and gave her hands a squeeze. "Hey there, how're you doing?"

"Never better. I'm just so excited. I'm marrying Danny in less than an hour!"

"I know you are Linds. I'm so happy for you two."

"Thanks. It means the world to me."

Stella pulled Lindsay into a tight hug. Another knock at the door caused both women to turn round to see who it was. Lindsay's mum, Diane, stepped into the room.

"Hey are you girls ready to go? Your Daddy is starting to worry about how we're going to get through all this traffic. I knew it was bad but I never knew New York traffic was this bad."

Both women smiled at the elder woman's reaction to the city. Like most people who visited the city for the first time, she immediately noticed the amount of cars on the New York City streets.

"Just give me one more minute, please. I just want to go over all the preparations in my head once more, I want today to be perfect."

"Don't worry, sweetie. Before I came in here I was on the phone to Don and he says that Danny is really nervous but he can't wait for the ceremony to begin. I also spoke to Mac earlier and he says everything at the church and the hotel is exactly how you and Danny wanted it to be." Stella reassured the young detective.

By this time Lindsay's father, Bill, and her sister had joined the three women in the room and were listening to their conversation and almost everyone had tears in their eyes. Stella stood up and walked over to the dresser on the other side of the room, picked up the box of tissues and handed them round. "Stella's right, Linds. Everything will be perfect." Megan offered.

"I know. Thank you all for being so supportive and for putting up with me for the past few months."

Everyone smiled and they started to gather the things they needed for the wedding. Stella picked up the new box of tissues. Lindsay sighed and took a deep breath. She took one last look round the bridal suite they were spending their wedding night. The next time she would be here, she would be a married woman.
