Lindsay smiled as she saw a sign in the crowds that read 'MONTANA'.

"Hey Olivia. Mommy missed you." Lindsay lifted her from Danny's arms. "I love you so much."

Danny unsubtly cleared his throat.

"I love you too." Lindsay kissed him.

"Sounds about right." He smiled. "I'm glad you're back."

"Me too." She felt safe wrapped his arms.

"What do you say we get out of here?" He suggested.

"She needs her diaper changed. Why don't you take my bag and pull the car up outside? We'll meet you there."

"Sounds like a plan." Danny kissed her.

Danny was stood watching as Lindsay rocked gently back and forth in rocking chair. Olivia was long since asleep in her arms.

"Hey." Lindsay whispered when she finally noticed him.

"Do you want me to put her in the crib?"

"I don't think I'm ready to let go just yet."

Danny smiled before walking over and sitting on the floor nearby, his back against the wall.

"I've ordered pizza." Danny told her.

"Thank you."

"Did you see any of the parents?" Danny inquired.

"No. I hid on the ranch."

"They'll be at the trial."

"I know, but what do you say to them?"

"What do you say to anyone?" Danny countered.

"Remind me to ask Mac for the receipt tomorrow."

"Receipt for what?"

"He paid for my plane ticket, the county is going to cover it as they need me there on short notice." Lindsay explained.

"You know Mac would probably let you have another day off." Danny suggested.

"I need to get back to work." Lindsay stated. "Hopefully it will take my mind off it for a few weeks."

The doorbell rang.

"That will be the pizza." Danny got up. He gave Lindsay a kiss on the forehead. "I'm glad you're back."

"Lindsay can I talk to you in my office when you get a minute?" Mac requested the following afternoon.

"Sure Mac, I'll be there as soon as I get these results."

Ten minutes later Lindsay knocked on his office door. Mac was on the phone but he beckoned her inside.

"I can come back later." She offered.

"I'll be one minute, take a seat." Mac told her.

Lindsay sat down and waited patiently whilst he finished his call.

"Sorry about that." He apologised. "I just wanted to see how you were."

"I'm fine Mac honestly. I just need to keep busy."

"Good. Have they told you when the trial will be?"

"Six weeks, but I have to be there the week before it starts for trial prep."

"Did the District Attorney's office have any idea how long it will last?"

"He thinks about three weeks." Lindsay replied.

"That shouldn't be a problem. But I'm not going to be able to spare Danny whilst you're gone."

"I know we've already talked about this. I'm taking Olivia with me so he doesn't have to worry about picking her from day care and being home in time to put her to bed. Mom or my sister in law are going to watch her whilst I'm at court."

"That was all I need you for." Mac told her.

"Did Adam give you the copy of the receipt for my airline ticket?" Lindsay asked.

"Yes why?"

"If you forward a copy to the Bozeman's DA office they will reimburse you." Lindsay explained.
