AN: Thank you to the three lovely ladies who took the time to review it totally made my day. Beginning is a flashback.
Chapter 2
Danny really couldn't concentrate on the piece of evidence in front of him; he couldn't concentrate on anything besides what Alyse had told him.
"What?" Danny asked shocked, this had to be come kind of joke.
"I think Michael might be yours." She repeated, Danny just sat there.
"How old is he?"
"He is about to turn 10." Danny did the math in his head, and realized that it was possible.
"Why are you telling me this now?"
"He has been asking about his dad a lot lately, and I want to be able to tell him something."
"Did you tell him I was his dad?"
"No, just that you were a friend." They sat in silence watching Michael play. "I am really sorry to just spring back into your life and tell you that you might have a kid, but Hallmark doesn't have a card for this type of thing." Danny nodded and they sat in silence again. "I got to take him to a friend's house; can we talk about this later?"
"Sure, you have my number so just call me."
"Danny, you okay?" Lindsay asked sitting on the table in front of him.
"Yeah I am just tired." Danny said, this was when he needed to tell her she wouldn't get mad.
"You sure?" Danny nodded, "Well Stella and Don wanted us to go to Sullivan's with them, you want to go."
"Sure, sounds like fun." Danny said not fully putting his heart in it, and Lindsay got up to leave.
"You sure you're okay, if your not we can stay at home and talk."
"I promise I'm fine."
"Okay." Lindsay said skeptically before walking out and Danny kicked himself for not telling her.
The four friends were sitting around talking, but Stella noticed that Lindsay was unusually quiet and that Danny kept drifting off into his own world. Stella convinced Lindsay to go to the bathroom with her.
"Everything okay Linds?"
"I don't know, I thought it was but then Danny started acting funny today."
"Did you get in a fight?"
"No, we were baking cookies and I got called in so I had to take a shower the next thing I know he is acting all weird."
"Who was on the phone?"
"He says it was a wrong number, but I think whoever was on the phone said something to make him act like this."
"Did you ask Danny what was bothering him?"
"Yes, he says he is just tired and I want to believe him-"
"Then believe him, until he tells you something different you just have to believe him." Stella said cutting her off.
"I guess your right."
"I know I am right, so go out there and enjoy your night off."
"Okay."
"Now let's go before some girl decides to hit on our boyfriends." Stella said laughing and they went and sat back down.
"Everything okay?" Danny whispered in her ear when she sat down.
"Yeah, we just needed to have a little girl talk." Lindsay said smiling and grabbing his hand. They stayed at the bar for a while just talking until Lindsay got tired and the four friends split up.
"Why do girls go to the bathroom together?" Danny asked as they we getting ready for bed, and Lindsay mumbled something incoherent. "Spit."
"So we can talk about boys and they can wonder why we go together."
"It works."
"Good to know." They got in bed and Lindsay snuggled up close to Danny. "I love you Montana."
"Love you too."
