"Hey." Lindsay stood in the doorway to the break room as she watched Flack push the stroller back and forth.
"Hey Lindsay."
"Has she been okay?"
"She fell asleep about ten minutes ago, but we're going to have to finish our conversation about why the Yankees and the Mets are superior to all other baseball teams." Flack stated matter of factly.
"I'm sure she'll enjoy that. When she's old enough you and Danny can take her to her first ball game. And when she's old enough you can volunteer to coach her peewee team."
"When did I volunteer to coach a pee wee baseball team?"
"About the same time you decided a two month old would be interested in the difference between the Yankees and Red Sox."
"So how was court?" Flack changed the subject.
"Apparently being pregnant rendered me unable to do my job efficiently."
"What?" Danny said from behind her.
"Hey." Lindsay spun around.
"Who is this ass..."
"Danny!" Lindsay warned.
"Jerk and where can I find him?"
Lindsay kissed him.
"What was that for?" Danny was slightly confused.
"For wanting to go a beat up the big bad defence attorney." She kissed him again.
"And what was that for?"
"Being smart enough to not do it." She replied.
Danny looked at Flack and shrugged.
"Who can argue with that?"
"I should get Olivia home, Don thank you for stepping in at the last minute."
"Not a problem, although let's leave it until she's out of diapers next time." Flack requested.
"If you want to wait about an hour I should be able to leave." Danny told her. "The morgue is backed up with the victims of a three car pileup, so my autopsy won't get done until tonight; everything else seems to be bottom of the queue too."
"Don, it seems I have an hour free. Can I buy you lunch as a thank you?" Lindsay suggested.
"Never say no to free food." Flack stood up.
"Give me a call when you're done." Lindsay told Danny.
"I like this I have to work and you get to have lunch with my wife and daughter." Danny said.
Flack shrugged.
"Shall we?" Flack suggested.

"So how are you enjoying maternity leave?" Flack inquired as they wait for their food to be served.
"You miss sleep and adult conversation. But other than that I love it." Lindsay glanced on Olivia to make sure she was still asleep.
"When are you going back to work?"
"January 2nd." She replied. "I'm going to stick to days."
"What are you going to do with Liv?"
"One of the guys at the precinct's wife runs a day care. I've check her out, she's going to watch Liv for us. She watches quite a few of the kids for the detectives."
"One of the guys at the precinct?"
"Ollie Rundale. His wife Cheryl runs a day care." Lindsay explained.
"How did I not know that?" Flack asked.
"You have to actually talk to your co-workers." Lindsay suggested. "I know the names of the partners and kids of everyone at the lab and in the homicide division."
"What about the patrol?"
"The ones we deal with on a regular basis. There's more to life than the latest sports scores."
"Your brother would call that sacrilege." Flack stated.
"Clay would agree with me. Family and friends are more important. They're the ones that will stick by you through everything."
"But he'd prefer it if the Colts win."
"I'm still going to convince Olivia of the benefits of the 49ers." Lindsay stated.
"Don't let Danny hear you say that." He smiled. "So how's your sister doing?"
"She has really bad mood swings which are driving Matt crazy. I wouldn't be surprised if it's twins."
"How would she cope with that?"
"Becky's a Monroe she can cope with anything. Matt would probably go to pieces."
"I guess Stella's in for more trips to Build-A-Bear."
"No he'll be fine. I hope."
