A/N: I'm sorry I said that the last chapter wasn't review worthy because I got plenty of reviews! And thanks to all those reviews I decided to update sooner! Okay so here's the chapter you've all bee waiting for…………………………………………...

Chapter 4: Happy Birthday….Among Other Things!

The week passed quickly and Lindsay's birthday had arrived. It was July 17th and Danny and Lindsay arrived and hour and a half before game time. They met up with Stella and the guys in the front entrance. Once inside they walked around for a little while. When Stella and Lindsay stopped at a clothing vendor Flack offered to go get some drinks.

"Hey guys, you want anything?" Don gestured to the girls.

Stella nodded and looked at Lindsay before answering. "We'll each have a coke." Don nodded and headed off towards the food vendor taking Mac along with him.

As Lindsay ran through a rack of jerseys two arms wrapped around her waist. "Do you really need anything else?" Danny asked kissing her temple. She was dressed in a pair of denim shorts with a Jeter jersey on and a Yankee hat. Lindsay had even gone as far as to paint her nails navy blue and write DJ on her ring finger in white nail polish. What surprised Danny the most was that she had all the apparel in the world to choose from.

Lindsay leant her head against his chest and nodded. "As a die-hard Yankee fan you just can't have enough!" She looked up and smiled into his beautiful, stormy blue eyes. "Plus, it's my birthday."

Danny was just about to lean down and kiss that smirk right of Lindsay's face but was stopped short by a familiar voice. "Well I'll say. Don't you two just make such a cute couple?" Becky Lynn exclaimed happily. Lindsay pushed herself out of Danny's arms and rushed over to her sister and hugged her.

Danny followed leaving Stella to look around. "You do know how to ruin a moment dontcha Becky." He teased lightly and hugged her also.

Becky smiled. "That's me." She noticed Danny look around the stadium and she caught on quickly. "Brad is going to met us at our seats. He had to go see Brian for a moment." Danny nodded and Lindsay led her sister over to where the rest of the gang was huddled. There was no need for introduction because they had all met before when Becky and Brad had come to New York for a visit.

"Hey Stel." Becky greeted the curly brunette that was still looking through the racks. The first time the two had met they had all went on a girls' night out. Becky Lynn and Stella had automatically taken to each other.

Stella gave Becky a hug. "Hey. Danny told us you were coming." Then she pulled out a navy blue shirt that was marked with number two and Jeter's name. "What do you think about this?"

Danny shook his head and turned to Mac. "Don't let her get that. You'll forever regret it. Take it from me. Sometimes I think Montana loves Derek Jeter more than me. Anytime we watch a game she pays more attention to hot, as she calls him, shortstop!" Mac laughed as Danny earned a slap from Lindsay.

"Well she should. She's gotten to do what most people only dream of. She's met him four times." A voice said coming up from behind Becky. "Don't worry Danny, Becky Lynn's still in love with him and we've been married seven years." Brad kissed his wife on the cheek.

Danny smiled and took hold of Lindsay's hand. "Since everyone's here we might as well go find our seats."

3 3 3 3 We Love M&Ms 3 3 3 3

Brian and Brad had done even better than they said on the phone. All seven people were seated in the first row above the Yankee dugout. It was the top of the seventh and the Yankees were up with a score of 4 to 2.

Danny excused himself from his aisle seat just as Manny Ramirez came to the plate. "I'm going to go get another drink so I can be back by the time the Yankees get up to bat." He leaned down and gave Lindsay a kiss. All the memories they had made and shared flashed before his eyes.

Brad stood up. "Danny I'll come with. I've got to go to the bathroom anyway." Danny nodded and smiled that smile he couldn't seem to wipe off his face. Brad made his was past Becky Lynn and Lindsay to get to Danny. From there they made their way up the stairs towards the platform.

Nothing seemed different when the two came back soon after 'God Bless America' was sung. Danny now seated next to Lindsay couldn't stop fidgeting. He was nervous, excited and scared to death. As the Boston Red Sox players began to run off the field a voice came over the stadium intercom. "We have a special occasion we would like you all to witness today here at Yankee Stadium. Would you all please turn your attention to the screen out in centerfield."

Danny got down on one knee and Lindsay turned towards him. She gave him a confused and curious look. "Danny Messer, why in the world are you on the ground? We're supposed to be watching…" She stopped dead when she gestured towards the screen when she saw her and Danny's image on it. It didn't take Lindsay long to figure out what this all meant. She whipped her head around to see Danny smiling like a fool. "What…?"

Danny silenced her with a finger to her lips. All eyes were now on the couple and the screen. "Two years ago I would never had thought I'd be here in Yankee Stadium, confessing my love for you in front of 50,000 some people. Actually, two years ago I couldn't picture myself settling with anyone. But then you came into my life. This smart, dedicated, beautiful woman came into my life. One who didn't put up with my crap and could throw it right back at me. I found myself wanting to become a better person. I realized that everyday I came to work just to see that smile that I thought you saved just for me. I fell for you, Montana and I fell hard. And ya know what? I don't ever want to get back up. I love you Montana and there is no one I can imagine spending the rest of my life with."

Danny paused for a moment and his blue eyes met her teary brown ones. You could hear a pin drop as Danny slowly reached into his pocket for the ring. "So will you, Lindsay Reese Monroe, my Montana do me the honor of marry a city boy from New York like me?"

All eyes were on the screen and on Lindsay, including the members of both teams who had come out of the dugout. The guy weren't in much shock but Becky Lynn and Stella had both been brought to tears.

Lindsay's own tears were streaming down her face. She looked around and then back at Danny. When she met his blue eyes she thought she would melt. "Yes Danny I'll marry you." A large cheer and applause broke out from the whole stadium. Brad would swear to you that is was louder than when the Yankees beat Boston in the 2003 ALCS. Danny slipped the ring on Lindsay's finger and pulled her into a passionate and loving kiss.

When the need for oxygen was too great they pulled away. "How did you…?" Lindsay began to asked, her curiosity started to kick in.

Danny kissed her again. "Later. It's a very long story. Now I have one question. Do I rate over Derek Jeter?"

Lindsay laughed. "Always and forever. I love you Danny." They embraced once more.

"I love you too Montana." Danny whispered in her ear. He held her tight and swore he would never let go.

A/N: Okay so I hope you liked it and had as much fun reading it as I had writing it! I am a romantic at heart and enjoy writing proposals and stuff like that. Hey a girl can dream!

Now for all of you who do not follow baseball: ALCS stands for American League Championship Series and in 2003 they Yankees beat Boston in the seventh game to go on to face Florida in the World Series (and they unfortunately lost….yes I can admit defeat).

I should be updating soon and part of the next chapter is dedicated to my friend Sugah and she'll know why when she reads it! The next chapter also has a great connection/reference from the first story!
