A/N : Sorry this chapter is so short. I am still working on the rest of the team being told, but thought I would send this part along.
It was 4:30 in the afternoon and Danny Messer had just put the finishing touches on the crib he and Lindsay had picked out weeks ago for the baby. When he returned from watching his family walk down the terminal to the gate at the airport, he found that the crib would be delivered today. Danny sighs as he stands up and stretches his back.
"Ok, so this is ready for the baby." Danny says to himself as he packs up the tools he used to put together the crib. As he is putting the tools back into the closet and his cell phone rings. Thinking that it could be Lindsay he hurries to pick up the phone.
"Messer" he says pushing the accept button.
"Danny, how are you doing today?" comes the voice from the other end of the phone.
"Hey Stella, what's up?" he asks
"Just calling to check on you Danny. I'm also calling to tell you to come and meet us at Sullivan's at 6." She tells him.
"Stell, I'm not sure that I would be the best company tonight." He says trying to make excuses to not go out tonight.
"Danny, no excuses. Mac says the team is going out and that you are to be there. Besides he promised Lindsay that you wouldn't be home alone tonight." She responds.
"He promised Lindsay, huh?" he asks with a chuckle.
"Yeah, that's what he told me. So I will see you at 6 right." Stella says.
"Yeah, but if I'm gonna make it on time, I gotta go and get a shower." He tells her before he hangs up. Within 20 minutes Danny had already showered and had his jeans already on and was getting his shirt on when the phone rings again.
"Messer." He answers
"Hey babe." Comes the sweet voice that he is already missing.
"Montana, how are you?" he asks with a smile
"Fine, I miss you. "she continues "But I am so happy to see my parents and brother."
"I miss you too, but I am glad that you're happy. How did they take the news of our marriage?" he asks.
"Surprised, upset that they weren't there, but said as long as I'm happy and you treat me right they are fine." She tells him
"I hope you told them I plan to be the best husband possible." He tells her
"Yes Danny, I told them that." She responds.
"How was your flight? I expected a call from you earlier." He asks her.
"We had a delay in Chicago, so I didn't get in till two hours later than I expected." She explains.
"What did you do today?" she asks.
"I put the crib together today and I am going out with the team in about 45 minutes." He tells her.
"I'm glad you're going out tonight. I hate to think of you staying home by yourself." She replies.
"Speaking of which. I understand that you made Mac promise to get me out tonight." He says with a small laugh in his voice.
"Yeah, I did, but I never thought he would tell you about that. Are you mad at me?" she asks him.
"Nah, I could never be mad at you for worrying about me Babe. And just so you know it wasn't Mac who spilled the beans, it was Stella. Mac must have asked her to call me." He explains to her.
"I was just worried about you being home and sulking." She tells him.
"Montana, I don't sulk." He says a small frown on his face.
"Of course you don't cowboy, and you're not sulking or pouting or frowning right now." She says laughingly.
"Alright now so maybe I have a small frown on my face, but that is mostly because my entire family has gone and left me for several weeks." He tells her.
"Danny, I'm sorry. But I'll be home before you know it and your family is missing you too." She tells him
"Hey Montana, I didn't mean to upset you." He tells her almost frantically.
"I'm fine Danny; my hormones are just all over the place. But I better let you go or you'll be late to meet the team." She tells him sniffing. "I love you Danny. So, does the baby."
"I love both of you too. I guess I will talk to you again soon." He says to her.
"Hey Danny, don't forget to tell the team about our marriage. And tell them I said hi." Lindsay says.
"Sure thing babe." He says "Bye"
"Bye Danny" she says and then hangs up.
Danny hangs up the phone and finishes getting his shirt, shoes and socks on. When he is done he heads out on his motorcycle turning towards the teams favorite off hours spots.
