"Danny is having dinner with my family. I hope he's okay with that. The last thing I want t do is scare him off." She thought. Danny ran back.
"Danny you realize that almost everyone is going to be there?
"So?" He asked puzzled
"I don't want scare you off."
"It takes more than your family to scare me away from you. Come on lets go get changed." He said as he started to tickle her.
"Danny stop!" she screamed "You're tickling me!"
"Duh Montana, that's why they call it tickling." He continued to tickle her all the way up the stairs. Lindsay tried to face him but she tripped and fell on her bed, bringing Danny down with her. Danny fell on top of her but he stuck his arms out so he would not hurt her. He looked at her. She looked anxious but a little scared. He leaned down and kissed her. She kissed him back and wrapped her arms around his neck.
"Lindsay as much as I would love to continue this we have to go." He smiled and so did Lindsay.
"Okay come on." They both got up and got changed. They were walking out the front door.
"So how are we getting there?" Danny asked.
"Well we can drive, ride, or walk. It's up to you." Lindsay replied.
"Well I can't ride to save my life. It's a beautiful day so let's walk." He held Lindsay hand.
"Okay." She said and they started to walk.
"So we're goin' to Jezzy' house, who is married to your brother David, who is in the army right, now?"
"Right. What are their kids' names?"
"Abree and Carmelo. Annie is engaged to Jezzy's brother Toby and Cassie is goin' to school for forensics and ya Aunt's name is Sarah.
"Very impressive Messer." All of a sudden, Danny picked her up and sat her on his shoulders. "Danny! Put. Me. Down! If I fall I will kill you and they will never find your body!" Lindsay screamed. By now, they were already near the ranch. Everybody had come out to the porch. Lindsay and Danny did not know that they were being watched.
"Will you stop moving? Ya gonna make me drop you." Danny said. Lindsay quickly slid her left leg off his shoulder and back flipped off Danny. "Where the hell didya learn to do that?"
"Gymnastics. Silver medal." She smiled. Danny did a triple round off and a double flip. Lindsay was completely shocked.
"Gymnastics. Gold medal."
"Good looking, science geek, Italian, & gold medal in gymnastics, I am impressed."
"You forgot charming." He smiled.
"No I didn't." She said, not missing a beat.
"I'm hurt." He laughed. He kissed her. The people on the porch quickly went back inside. Lindsay and Danny stopped at the front porch.
"Are you sure about this Danny?" Lindsay asked
"I can handle your family Montana."
"Ok. Can't say I didn't warn you, Cowboy." Lindsay rang the doorbell.
"Lindsay!" Yelled a brown haired, semi-built man.
"Hey Toby." She hugged him. "This is Danny Messer."
"Hi man. How are you?" Danny said.
"I'm good. So you're Danny Messer? Rookie's been talking about you since got here & in her phone calls." Danny turned to Lindsay. She was blushing.
"Rookie?" He asked.
"Shut it Messer!" Toby laughed and let them in. Jezzy came running towards them.
"So?" She asked.
"Guilty." Lindsay said relieved. Jezzy hugged her
"Jezzy this is…" Jezzy interrupted her.
"You must be Danny?"
"Yes. You're Mon- Lindsay's sister-in-law, right?"
"Mon?"
"He annoyingly calls me that everyday." Jezzy smiled and rolled her eyes.
"Well come inside and we'll introduce you to everybody." Lindsay and Danny walked through the hallway. Danny noticed that some of the little knick-knacks were similar to the ones Lindsay had in their office. They walked into the kitchen. Lindsay took a deep breath. It was time to introduce Danny to her Aunt Sarah.
