"Number four, The way you kiss my nose every morning when you think I'm still asleep!"
Flashback
Danny awoke on one of the rare days that both he and Lindsay had a day off. He sighed to himself with satisfaction as he realised, almost for the first time that he had all day to spend with his beautiful girl friend. Silently, and slowly, so as not to make too much noise and therefore wake Lindsay. He smiled as he glanced at the sleeping beauty beside him. Her perfect skin, the cute dimples on her cheeks, her perfectly kissable lips, her amazing body….
Reaching over he ran his fingers down her arm and held her hand in his as he lent over and kissed her nose, sighing with satisfaction as he was able to breath in her familiar scent.
Unnoticed by Danny, Lindsay smiled slightly, loving the affection he was currently showing unto her, even though he did think she was still asleep. She allowed her eyes to flicker open as she smiled sleepily at Danny. "Good morning…" he smiled at her.

"Number five, The fact I know you're there fore me when I've had a bad day."
Flashback
As Danny left work that evening, he stifled a yawn. He was positively shattered. He'd just worked a double shift and the only thing on his mind was getting home and going to bed. However, suddenly something came into his head. Something he just couldn't ignore, something he knew he had to sort out before he could even think of sleeping.
He knocked the door of her apartment, waiting somewhat impatiently for her to answer. As she opened to door he said nothing. Instead he took a step forward, holding his arms open as she stepped into them. His arms wrapped tightly around her as she collapsed against his chest.
"What are you doing here, you must be dead on your feet?" she asked, her voice muffled against his shirt.
"Linds hon….do you think I could have went home and slept, knowing you were here feeling the way you are…?"
"But, you need to sleep…"
"I need to be here more…." he responded, bending his head and kissing the top of hers. "Are you going to talk to me?"
"Danny…I…can't…I'm sorry…"
"Come on…" he took her hand and pulled her further into the apartment, sitting down on the couch and pulling her down beside him. "Look Linds…I get it…the two young victims, the country girl tourist…its been a tough week. Of course its going to get to you. I understand…heck we all understand. But you need to talk about it…"
"I can't…saying it out load is like living it al over again. I'm sorry."
"Well when you're ready, I'm here. I Promise!" he said, yawning as he finished.
"Danny…you're dead on your feet! Stay here tonight."
"I like that idea!" he smiled as he led her into the bedroom.
As the pair collapsed on the bed, falling asleep almost at the instant their heads hit the pillow, Danny's arms wrapped securely around Lindsay…

"Number six, The fact that you put up a front in front of other people, but inside you're battling and aren't afraid to let your true self out when you're with me"
(First flashback with Danny blaming himself)
"Number seven, You're patient with me and don't try to force me to do anything I don't want to do"
Flashback
"Linds….Linds…" Danny called as he jogged along the sidewalk after Lindsay as they both left work for the evening.
Lindsay stopped dead in her tracks and turned round, giggling as Danny jogged somewhat awkwardly down the sidewalk, his rucksack flailing behind him. "Hey…" she smiled as he came level with her.
"Hello….right….okay…I had something to ask you." Lindsay smiled, waiting patiently for him to continue. "It's my mom's birthday next weekend and I'm going home for the party, and I was wondering if you'd like to come with me.."
Lindsay looked at him, her eyes wide, her face confused. "Danny…I'd love to….but I…..I don't think I'm ready for that yet. I'm sorry…its only been a few weeks, I need to get my head around all this myself, but I promise, next time I'll be there…I'm sorry…"
"Lindsay hon….its okay, I was just asking. I don't mind honestly…as long as I know that we're okay you never ever have to meet my mom"
"It wont be never ever…I promise that!" she squeezed his hand.

"Number eight, How you give me Goosebumps every time you touch me"
Flashback
Danny busied about the kitchenette, attempting to make himself a sandwich. He was struggling to find all the necessary ingredients but was being far to stubborn to ask Lindsay where they were. Lindsay smirked to herself knowing exactly what was going on as she walked towards the sliding doors that led onto the balcony. Snow was falling in soft patches from the sky and she stepped out into the cold air to admire its beauty.
As she stood there she smiled to herself, thinking over the past three months. She smiled as she remembered all Danny's little quirky habits, all the silly yet special moments they shared, how far their relationship had come in such a short time. She sighed with content as she thought about how nice it felt to be in his arms and how she still got a goofy smile on her face every time she thought about him.
She was so deep in thought that she didn't hear the door slide behind her. She only snapped out of her daze as she felt a pair of familiarly strong arms wrap around her waist. "You're cold!" Danny smirked in her ear. She turned and smiled at him, rolling her eyes. "What were you thinking about?"
"Just…stuff!" she responded.
"What stuff, and don't say its nothing because I know it was…and it isn't stupid I promise."
She turned and buried her face in his shirt as she spoke. "I was thinking about how the magic as such hasn't left out relationship. I still get Goosebumps every time you touch me, I still cant wait until I see you again. But its probably just me…"
"Lindsay…Look at me!" he commanded. "I can make you one promise, that…is not definitely not just you…" he kissed her softly.

"Number Nine, You never gave up on me, and waited until I was ready to begin this relationship"
"And…Number ten, The fact I'm having your baby." Hawkes concluded.
Everyone sat in silence taking into account the shocked expression on Danny's face. Lindsay looked up slowly, her eyes wet with tears as they met Danny's.
"I'm sorry…" she began, "I didn't mean for you to find out like this I'm…"
"Hold on a minute…you're…I'm…we're…you're…you're…"
"Pregnant?" she finished for him. "Yes!"
"Wow!" he responded, running his fingers through his hair. "Wow!"
"Danny, I'm sorry!" Lindsay began as tears fell slowly down her face. "You don't have to…I….I'm sorry"
"Danny…" Mac began slowly.
He looked up, their eyes meeting as a small smile crossed his face. "Danny, son, give the poor girl a hug or something!" Mac continued.
Danny smiled at him, crossing the room with swift footsteps and stood in front of Lindsay, his hands resting on her shoulders before her pulled her into a tight embrace. "Sorry….Sorry…" Lindsay continued to mutter in a whisper.
"Lindsay…sssh…shhh baby…it's okay" he whispered soothingly in her ear. "You've nothing to be sorry about. I was just shocked that's all…but I mean…its amazing news…I'm going to be a dad!" she could feel the smiled on his face against her head.
She slowly turned her head to face him. "You mean it?" she asked.
"Of course!" he grinned. "I didn't put everything on that list you know. you're truly amazing….there are a few things I like about you that I'm glad I didn't put on the list because I want to keep them to myself. I love you Lindsay Monroe and you're not getting rid of me that easily!" he took her face in his hands and kissed her firmly.
They smirked to themselves as they heard their colleagues begin to clap.
"Firstly…wow!" Stella smiled. "And congratulations"
"Congrats!" Hawkes added.
"Congratulations kids!" Mac smiled like a proud parent.
"Thank you" Lindsay replied, keeping her hand entwined with Danny's.
