Chapter 7

Stella was dumbfounded. Did she hear Lindsay correctly? Maybe she didn't. "Linds, what did you say?" she questioned, praying that what she had heard was wrong.

"I'm pregnant Stel," Lindsay clarified before bursting into tears.

Stella stared at Lindsay, wide eyed. She didn't know what to say. She regained her composure enough to ask Lindsay one of the pressing questions going through her mind.

"D-d-does Danny know? Is it Danny's?" Stella managed to choke out.

Hearing Stella's second question, shock took over Lindsay's person. "Of course it's Danny's Stel. Who else would it be? And no, he doesn't know. I don't plan on telling him anyway. Not like he'd wanna know," Lindsay answered her before a fresh set of tears fell from her eyes.

"Oh honey..." Stella mumbled. She pulled the younger woman into her arms and stroked her hair, trying to calm her down.

The only thing that was going through Stella's mind at that point in time was how she was going to kill the man that caused her best friend so much hurt, friend or not.

A knock on the door broke the both of them out of their respective reveries.

Danny knew it. He shouldn't have let her into his apartment. He just knew it. He felt it in his gut the minute he saw her through the peephole of his door.

He should have just listened to it. He should have known that she'd make a move on him. And now, just because he didn't listen to himself, he might just lose the one person that meant everything to him.

He had tried though. He tried everything that he could to let her know that he wasn't even in the least bit interested. She, however, was completely oblivious to everything.

When she kissed him, he was taken aback. He knew that he should have expected it but for some reason he was still surprised when her lips collided with his.

He grabbed her shoulders to push her away. He needed to get her out of the apartment before Lindsay arrived.

Obviously, though, the Gods had other plans for him. His heart shattered when he saw her. She looked so broken. He felt his heart sink.

It hurt him, more than anything, to know that he had put that expression on her face. He just wanted to put his arms around her and let her know that everything was ok. He needed to explain what happened to her.

She left though. Before he could explain. Of course, he couldn't blame her. It was all his fault. He needed her to know the truth and hope that she'd forgive him.

He could hear her sobbing as she left the apartment. When he came back, he saw her. The girl that had ruined something so precious to him.

All he saw was red. He all but threw her out of his apartment.

He knew Lindsay all too well. He knew that if something bad happened, the first person she'd go to - apart from him - was Stella.

He grabbed is keys and left, hoping that it wasn't too late. He didn't want to lose her. He couldn't lose her.

So there he stood, outside of Stella's apartment. He knew that when Stella heard what had happened, she would be ready to kill him.

Feeling that explaining everything to Lindsay would be more important to him than his own demise, he raised his hand to knock on the door.

Stella opened the door to her apartment to see the last person she wanted to see at that very moment. In front of her stood Danny with his arms poised in front of him to protect himself from any bodily harm Stella would inflict upon him.

Before she said anything to him though she folded her arms, fearing that she might strangle him if he gave her the wrong answers.

"What in the world are you doing here Daniel? Haven't you already done enough damage?" Stella questioned, not saying too much for fear that she might accidentally blurt out Lindsay's secret.

"I need to see Lindsay Stell, please. She has to know what actually happened. Please Stell, I can't lose her. I just can't," he said, a few tears rolling down his cheeks.

"Danny you really hurt her. You can't just waltz in here and expect her to talk to you and for everything to be alright." Stella said. She sympathized with him. She really did. But what he did was hard to forget.

"I screwed up Stell. I know. Just give me a chance to fix it. Please," he pleaded. He knew that if he wanted to talk to Lindsay,he needed to get past Stella first.

Lindsay knew it was him. She could hear that ever-so-distinct Staten Island accent that was uniquely Danny. She knew that she should say something. She eavesdropped on the conversation happening not too far away from her.

"She has to know what actually happened," she heard him say. She couldn't take it. She could not, would not, just sit there and listen to his lies.

She saw him. She saw him with her own two eyes with that girl. There was nothing - absolutely nothing - that he could say that would make her forgive him. She had had enough. Pushing herself off the couch, she went to give him a piece of her mind.

Danny saw Lindsay walking towards them over Stella's shoulder. He hoped that she would want to talk to him as much as he wanted to talk to her.

"Montana..." he started but was cut off by Lindsay yelling at him.

"No you don't get to talk. You listen to me Danny. There is nothing. Absolutely nothing that you can say to me that I want to hear. Did you ever think about how I'd feel? How hurt and heartbroken i'd be? I trusted you. I gave you my heart. And you, you threw that all away. I should have listened to everyone. I shouldn't have started dating you in the first place. I thought you had changed. But i was wrong. You're a jerk Danny and we are done. I can't stay here and see you everyday. I'm going to get a transfer. Don't call me, text me or try to contact me in any way. I'm not going back to Montana and I am NOT going to tell you where I'm going. Goodbye Danny," Lindsay said.

And with that she stomped out of Stella's apartment, pushing past Danny. He turned to follow her but was stopped by a small yet firm hand on his bicep. He didn't know what to do. He had lost the one person that mattered the most to there was no way he was getting her back. All because of one silly mistake.

Lindsay went straight to the lab and put in the transfer request with Mac. She tried to stay strong but with Mac's caring composure, she found herself breaking down on him and telling him everything. She then went home to try and get some sleep.

Within a week, Lindsay was on a plane to Boston to start anew. No Danny, no worries. Just her and the baby growing in her belly
