"I'm gonna be in trouble if she looks anything like you, Montana," he said as he wrapped his arm around her, guiding her down the sidewalk.
"I'll be in trouble if she has your cocky ass grin," she replied.
"My grin ain't cocky," he couldn't help but grin.
"Sure it's not," she smiled at him.
"Lindsay?" a voice came from behind them.
"Ted?" Lindsay said when she turned around and saw him standing there with a worried look on his face. "What are you doing here?"
"Where have you been? I've gone to your place; I've tried calling you, hell I even went to your doctor's office." He said frantically, and then finally he noticed Danny, like he was hard to miss. "Who are you?"
Danny looked the guy over, he was everything Danny wasn't. He had no facial hair, his hair was combed neat, and he wore tailored looking slacks, with a long sleeved polo shirt. He sounded proper, like he didn't know a vulgar term if it bite him. If he hadn't already felt like he wasn't good enough for her or their child, looking at this guy would have done him in.
"Ted, calm down. I'm fine. This is Danny, my fiancé, the father of my baby." Lindsay hooked her arm around Danny's, like she was showing him off.
Danny held his hand out to Ted, reluctantly Ted accepted shaking his hand, "it's nice ta meet ya, Ted."
"So you're the jerk that got her pregnant and walked out on her, huh?" Ted asked, giving Danny a good once over. Yeah he looks like the type. The Harley riding leather jacket wearing bad boy; out to only get his, not caring about the carnage they leave behind
Danny shuttered at the brutal honesty, but replied in kind, like he hadn't thought that about himself anyway. "You country folks don't pull any punches, do ya?" he couldn't help but laugh.
"Not when Lin-Lin is in trouble without any back up," Ted said dead serious.
"Good ta know," Danny said, "And yes I would be that jerk." Danny actually kind of liked the guy, now all he had to do was win him over to, before he called back to Montana for HIS backup.
"So what did the doctor say?" Ted turned his attention back to Lindsay; he would deal with the jerk later.
"She is doing just fine," Lindsay smiled happily, rubbing her belly.
"It's a girl then?"
"Yep," Danny said and proudly pulled out his copy of the sonogram, handing it to Ted, "Isn't she beautiful?"
Ted cocked his eyebrow at him, and then saw the goofy grin on his face. Okay maybe the guy wasn't so bad, but he was still gonna give him a hard time, for what he did.
