A/N: Okay, your review made me feel guilty so I'm going to ahead and write the next chapter and I promise this one will be longer.
After what seemed like forever Dr. Armstrong came through the double doors. Sara saw him first and was on her feet in seconds. Danny looked up and with his whole body tensed he walked up to the doctor.
"Well…." Danny couldn't finish the sentence.
"Why don't we sit down?" Dr Armstrong then lead the group to a conference room and closed the door it was a tight fit, but no one wanted to miss what was about to be said. "Well, the good news is Lindsey is still alive" big sigh of relief "but, we put her back coma." Dr. Armstrong put his hand up to stop all the questions he knew were coming. "Danny, Lindsey's body has been to hell and back we needed to put her in a coma to get her body to rest other wise she never would. The reason for her heart drop was because I'm not sure you're ready for this, but after we took out the baby her body reacted to the fact that the other baby was still in there."
Danny just looked at Dr. Armstrong like he had just grown a second no make that third head.
"What do you mean the other baby? There was only one. On all the ultrasound pictures we have there was one? We never heard a second heart beat."
Dr. Armstrong held up his hand to stop Danny a second time. "The only thing I can think of was due to the position of Baby B we couldn't see it due to Baby A. Also it was so high up and we only thought there was one baby we never went up that high to check. So in a sense Baby B was doing a very good job of hiding, a damn good job."
Danny was so shocked he couldn't think of anything to say. Stella took over "Dr. Armstrong, how long are you going to keep her in a coma?"
"At least till tomorrow and two days at the most. If we keep her in the coma for two days the babies will be able to go home before she does. So Danny you really need to go see your babies."
Danny just looked at everyone. "If you don't wake her up tomorrow I will, but I want to wait to see them with Lindsey."
"I understand. I'll give you a couple minutes to give everything I've told you to sink in by then Lindsey will be in a room you can go see her." Dr. Armstrong got up to leave before he was out the door Danny's voice brought a huge smile to his face.
"Wait TWINS!!!!"
Danny walked slowly into the room that Lindsey was in. Danny had flashback to only five months ago when she was just like this. Danny felt a tear go down his cheek. He sat in the chair that would be his home for the next twenty-four hours. He was so deep in thought that he didn't hear the door open.
"Danny?"
Danny jumped at the voice "Oh, hey Mac"
"Sorry I wasn't here, I tried to get out of it but you know crime doesn't stop even for family." Mac Said as he sat down in chair on the other side of Lindsey.
"It's okay Mac, Stella told me all you said to get out of it." Danny said with a smile.
Mac did blush a little at that comment. "Yeah, but it didn't work so…I hear we have two new addition instead of the one we thought huh?"
"Yeah, I don't know if I can handle two. One was scary enough but now there are two and we aren't prepared for two. We only bought one of everything. I mean come on Mac look at me what kind of father can I really be to two little people that will look up to me and come to me for answers. I've made so many bad decisions that they may not take my word for it."
Danny looked at Mac for the help he knew his own father wouldn't give him. Mac took a deep breath.
"Danny, you are a damn good man. Everyone has made decisions they are not proud of. And your right they may not listen to you, but when they don't you can't say you didn't try and that is all the matters. You will love those kids with all your heart. I never had the chance to have kids, but I can tell you this. With as much love as you and Lindsey have for each other those kids couldn't ask for better parents."
Danny had tears in his eyes by the time Mac was done. "Thanks Mac, I guess I just need to hear that."
"Your more than welcome Danny, and as far as only having one of everything I can guess there are a couple ladies out there that are taking care of that as we speak." Mac said with a grin.
"Oh God" Danny said with a roll of his eyes.
"Why don't you go home and get a change of clothes and a shower. I'll stay here with Lindsey." Mac said.
"You sure I really don't want to leave her." Danny said looking at the love of his life.
"Go Danny, I'll watch over her till you get back."
"Okay, I won't be gone more than a couple hours."
"No rush" Mac said as Danny walked out the door.
Danny walked into his apartment and got a surprise. Stella, Don, Hawkes, Nick, and Sara were all in the living room putting together another crib, jumper, swing, and anything else that need to be put together.
"Hey Danny" Nick said as he walked over and gave him a hug.
"Hey guys, ya'll didn't have to do this." Danny said.
"There you go again with the ya'lls." Sara said with a smile from her place on the couch.
"Can't help it blame it on Nick." Danny said with first hint of a smile they had seen all day.
"Well, you should have seen Stella and Sara at the baby store this afternoon. It was like kids in a candy store. I'm never going to a baby store with them again." Don said while trying to figure out the crib.
"Amen to that." Hawkes said from his position on the floor trying to figure out a swing.
"Men" huffed Stella; she was on the couch next to Sara folding baby clothes.
"I'm just going to take a shower then head back to the hospital." Danny said.
"Yeah, and eat a piece of that pizza in there too." Nick said.
Danny just nodded; he didn't realize how hungry he was till they mentioned pizza. After the quickest shower he thinks he has ever had he walks into the kitchen to find two pieces waiting for him.
He sat ate the pizza and watched his friends, no, family in the living room. He walked back into the living room then just walked around the room giving everyone a hug. Then without a word he left.
Back at the hospital Danny walked back into the room and finds Mac reading to Lindsey. "Hey" Danny said.
"Hey, I was about to call you, they just stopped the medicine that keeps her in the coma. So all we do now is wait for her to wake up."
"Okay Mac and Stella wanted me to tell you that your help is needed at my place because and I quote "Your children are not listening to her." Danny said with a grin. The first real grin all day.
"Okay Danny, I guess I don't have to tell you to call us when she wake up"
"Nope you'll be the first call."
Mac then hugged Danny and left. Danny went back to what was his chair and sat down. He remembered the last time she was in a coma she woke up to his voice. He had plan to surprise her with the fact that he had learned the words to her favorite song and now seemed like the perfect time to do so. So in a voice ever so soft Danny began to sing.
Looking
back on the memory of
The dance we shared 'neath the stars alone
For a moment all the world was right
How could I have known
that you'd ever say goodbye
And now I'm glad I didn't know
The way it all would end the way it all would go
Our lives
are better left to chance I could have missed the pain
But I'd of
had to miss the dance
Holding you I held everything
For a
moment wasn't I a king
But if I'd only known how the king would
fall
Hey who's to say you know I might have chanced it all
And
now I'm glad I didn't know
The way it all would end the way it
all would go
Our lives are better left to chance I could have
missed the pain
But I'd of had to miss the dance
Yes my
life is better left to chance
I could have missed the pain but
I'd of had to miss the dance
And just as he finished the last line Lindsey began to open her eyes.
A/N: Okay I don't' own The Dance by Garth Brook I just love that song and had to put it in I hope it works with the story so. As always please REVIEW. And dddynamite don't crash your computer to do so LOL.
