A/N I really appreciate Jenne and Lani betaing for me. You girls rock! But you already knew that.

After breakfast Danny paid the bill and left a generous tip before flagging down a cab. Danny gave the driver an address.

"Where are we going, Danny?"

"Be patient, Sweetheart." I tried not to grin. I love it when he calls me sweetheart.

"You'll see." He told me.

We walked into a small shop. "Hey Jim" Danny called.

"You got it ready?"

"You bet, man." Jim replied.

"I'll be right with ya'." He went into the back and came out with a box about the size of his palm, which he gave to Danny.

"Here ya' go."

"Thanks, Jim."

Danny turned and handed the box to me. I opened it and gasped. It was the most beautiful charm bracelet I've ever seen. Danny picked up the gold bracelet and fastened it around my wrist.

The first charm was a CSI badge. The nameplate said 'Montana'. Next was a life preserver: "Because I'd die without you." An exaggeration, to be sure, but it was still very sweet. Next was a button with 'cute as a button' engraved on it: "Especially when you scrunch up your cute little nose." Danny had said. After that came the state of Montana – for obvious reasons. A pool table came next. Definitely my favorite, such incredibly sweet memories! The heart that came next almost made me cry. On one side it said, 'More than yesterday, less than tomorrow', on the other 'Forever lovers'.

"I do love you, Montana." He said.

Handcuffs came after that. Next were the hopscotch squares. I love what that represents. He was listening and cared enough to remember that I loved hopscotch when I was a little girl. The final charm was a little envelope that said "My Girl" on it.

I could hardly believe it! The thought Danny must have put into this! I threw my arms around his neck.

"Danny" I whispered. I leaned up and kissed his cheek.

"If I had known I was going to get this kind of reaction, I would have done this a long time ago." Danny teased. He leaned down and kissed me properly. Oh, that man can kiss! I moaned. I could stay like this all day! However, it would appear that Danny had more up his sleeve.

I took her to the Zoo. We stopped at the tigers first. "First place I ever laid eyes on ya', Montana."

She scrunched up her nose. She is so adorable when she does that.

"I remember." She said. "Tiger dung."

"Oh, yeah," I smirked.

"You'll be pleased to know I didn't plan a repeat of that." I said. She hit me. I reached out to grab her, but she was too fast.

Next thing I know I'm chasing her through the Zoo. Good thing it's Thursday, I thought, not so many people to run into. I chased her all the way to the other end of the zoo. People all over gave us funny looks, but I didn't care. I'd chase her to the end of the Earth if that's what it would take.

"C'mon, Montana." I said, gasping for breath.

"Out of shape, Cowboy?" She teased. Cowboy. I grinned. I was forgiven.

"You know that's not true, Miss Monroe." She grinned at me and patted my stomach.

"Not bad, Cowboy, but this is only the preliminary exam." She winked at me. "You know a good CSI has to examine all the evidence."

"How ya' planning to do that?" I asked.

"I'm not quite sure yet. Maybe I'll let you carry me to lunch." She teased.

"I've worked up quite an appetite." I looked at my watch. 1 O'clock. Time does fly when you're having fun.

"Really? What a coincidence." I said as I scooped her up. She let out a shriek.

"I was just teasing, Danny." She said, still laughing.

"I know, but I wouldn't want you to start running again, now would I?" I asked. She laughed. What a beautiful sound.

"No chance of that. You're stuck with me, Messer." She rested her head against my shoulder. I could get used to this.

"Lucky me!"
