Chapter 53

... "That was Stella," she sobbed again, "He's been shot,"

"Oh my god," Izzy said sinking to the floor next to Lindsay, "Daddy," she sobbed and Lindsay pulled her into a hug, "Is he okay?"

"Stella said he's in surgery, we need to go to Mercy," Lindsay said wiping her eyes and stood up off the floor, "We have to go," she said and Izzy stood up grabbing the trips and strapping then into the car as Lindsay drove, slightly like a mad woman, to the hospital.

"Mom, can we get there in one piece please," Izzy said looking slightly scared as Lindsay dodged the traffic, but she got no reply, Lindsay stopped in front of Mercy and got out after seeing one of the department SUV's in the lot as well,

"Lindsay," Stella said standing by the entrance waiting for her,

"Where is he?" Lindsay asked adjusting Sam and Lily on her hips so Stella took Sam into her arms,

"Surgery," Stella said and Lindsay nodded trying to keep it together but failing more by the second,

"How is he?" Lindsay asked quietly and looked at the floor not wanting to look into Stella's eyes for the answer,

"He's not good kiddo," Stella said putting her hand under Lindsay's chin and making her look into her eyes,

"He has to be okay Stel," Lindsay sobbed and Stella pulled her into a hug as best she could,

"Linds," Mac said walking into the entrance way with Izzy by his side with Grace in her arms,

"Mac," Lindsay sobbed, walking towards him, he took Lily who sensed her mother was upset and was starting to cry, out of her arms and into his, enabling him to pull Lindsay into a hug as he grabbed onto him,

"Hey, Danny's strong Linds," Mac said rubbing her back while trying to calm Lily down, "And he knows if he doesn't get out of that bed I will kick his ass from here to Montana," which caused Lindsay to laugh a little but she tears still fell,

"Come on I'll take you to his floor," Stella said directing Lindsay and Mac to the elevator, leaving Izzy staring,

"I'll take the stairs," Izzy said to them as they held the door for her,

"Floor 6," Stella said smiling at Izzy who smiled weakly back and nodded walking towards the stairs, with Grace still in her arms, who was wiggling and babbling because she wanted to go to Lindsay,

"Not yet bug, we need to go see if Daddy is okay first," Izzy said trying to fake a smile for Grace's sake, she took the words and began playing with Izzy's hair babbling to herself again, "I wish I was you, you know bug, cause right now I think I need not to be able to process this," Izzy sighed and walking up the stairs adjusting Grace on her hip, "God your getting big," she said and continued to walk.

***

Lindsay sat in the waiting room with Mac and Stella, flack who had been there at the time was getting stitched up because of the blow to the head he had received,

"Kiddo," Mac said to Lindsay as she sat staring at the floor her head in her hands, "The doctors here," this caused Lindsay to look up and look at the doctor with tearstained eyes,

"Your Mr Messer's next of kin," the middle aged male doctor asked as he walked into the room with slightly bloody scrubs on and Lindsay knew it was Danny's blood over them and it took everything for her not to throw up. The doctor saw her pale and closed his white lab coat over the top of his scrubs hiding the blood from view.

"Yes," Lindsay nearly whispered, "His my fiancé,"

"Okay," the doctor said smiling and sitting down on the chair next to her, "Well Danny is now out of surgery, and he is stable for now," he said and smiled at Lindsay which made her smile back, "But I need to tell you, he sustained a lot of internal injury during the shooting, and he will remain in an educed coma for a while to let his body heal before trying to wake him up.

"Okay," Lindsay nodded smiling and whipping his eyes, "He's okay though right,"

"For now yes," the doctor said smiling, "But the next 24 hours will be critical,"

"Thank you," Lindsay said giving the doctor a genuine smile,

"No problem," the doctor said, "I'm Dr Lewis, if you need to ask anything at all get one of the nurses to page me,"

"Thank you Dr Lewis," Lindsay said smiling, "Can I go see him?" she asked and he nodded,

"Leave it a few minutes and I will get a nurse to come take you to his room," Dr Lewis said smiling at her, before getting up and walking out of the room,

"Thank you," Lindsay said, looking at Izzy and the trips who were on the floor trying to entertain themselves,

"He's okay," Mac said and Lindsay smiled,

"He better bloody be or I'll kick his ass," Flack said as he limped into the room,

"What the hell Flack! You should be at home," Lindsay said getting up and forcing him to sit on a chair,

"I ain't leaving till I know what's happening with Danny," Flack said sitting on the chair with a huff and rubbing his head,

"He's out of surgery and doing okay," Lindsay said smiling before hitting Flack on the arm, "Now go lie the heck down,"

"Okay," Flack mumbled, "Call me if anything changes,"

"It won't but I will," Lindsay said smiling at him as Flack walked back out of the room again,

"Miss Monroe?" a nurse asked walking into the room,

"Yes," Lindsay said looking up at her,

"I'll show you to your fiancés room now," she said and Lindsay smiled nodding,

"I'll be back in a while okay," Lindsay said to Izzy, who nodded,

"Go see dad, give him a kiss for me," Izzy said smiling while tickling Sam's sides making him squeal with laughter,

"Okay," Lindsay said smiling, walking out of the room following the nurse down the hall onto the ICU,

"I need to warn you he is attached to a lot of wires and machines," the nurse said, "But he's doing well,"

"Okay," Lindsay said preparing herself for the site she was about to see but nothing could prepare her for it and when she looked at Danny in the bed, with so many wires and tubes coming from his body, breathing for him, monitoring his heart, she burst into sobs and put a hand to her mouth,

"You okay?" the nurse asked and Lindsay nodded staring at Danny wide eyed, he looked nothing like he should do, so fragile as if, if she touched him he would break,

"Danny," Lindsay sobbed walking up to the bed, sitting on the chair next to it, putting out her hand tentatively and stroking a gentle finger over his hand, "Oh Danny," she sobbing again, putting her hand onto his and putting her head down onto the bed, "What the hell happened to you, you promised you wouldn't get yourself killed, you promised you wouldn't..." she couldn't finish her sentence as sobs racked her body and she cried her heart out into Danny's hospital bed.

***

That was how Mac and Stella found Lindsay an hour later, she had run out of tears and was just sat stroking his hand staring at him and keeping an eye on the monitors,

"Hey Kiddo," Mac said putting a hand on her shoulder causing her to jump in her seat,

"Hey," she almost whispered looking away from Danny and to Mac, her cheeks tear stained and her eyes blood shot and red,

"How's he doing?" Mac asked rubbing Lindsay's shoulder,

"Doctor came and checked on him a few minutes ago, no chance which is good apparently," Lindsay said smiling and turning her attention back to Danny,

"Matt came about 10 minutes ago, him and Izzy have taken the trips home, Jenny gave them a lift," Mac said and Lindsay nodded,

"You want something to eat or drink kiddo?" Stella asked and Lindsay shook her head,

"Has anyone told Lucia and Gio?" Lindsay asked turning to them and they both nodded,

"They are coming as soon as they can," Stella said smiling and Lindsay nodded again looking back at Danny,

"Why did they shoot him Mac?" Lindsay asked looking up at him with pleading eyes moments later,

"I don't know kiddo," Mac said honestly, his heart breaking at the hurt in Lindsay's eyes,

"But we're gonna find them and they will pay," Mac said sincerely and Lindsay smiled and nodded,

"I know you will," she said putting her hand on top of his on her shoulder and he rubbed it,

"Miss Monroe," a nurse said walking into the room causing everyone to look at the door, "Danny's parents are here shall we let them in?" she asked and Lindsay nodded, standing up and waiting for Gio and Lucia to walk into the room,

"Oh my baby," Lucia said as soon as she walked in her hand going to her mouth and sobs escaping her lips,

"Lucia, Gio," Lindsay said giving them a weak smile and Lucia opened her arms to Lindsay who walked into them and the two women cried together, Gio standing behind them staring at the bed very quiet,

"You will get them?" Gio asked Mac and Stella who looked at him, "The people that did this to my son, you will get them?" he asked and Mac and Stella nodded,

"Yes sir we will," Mac said and Gio nodded staring back at Danny as Mac's phone went off,

"Lindsay we need to get back to the lab," Mac said and Lindsay stepped out of Lucia's embrace and looked at him, "We'll be back in a while okay," he said and Lindsay nodded wiping her eyes, walking over and hugging him,

"Take care okay kiddo," Stella said hugging Lindsay and kissing her forehead, and Lindsay nodded, they both left leaving Lucia, Gio and Lindsay in Danny's room,

"He's strong Lindsay," Gio said looking at Lindsay who had sat back down next to Danny's bed, not before pulling up two more seats for Gio and Lucia, "He'll get through this," he said and Lindsay smiled and nodded,

"How are the kids?" Lucia asked trying to lighten the mood, seeing as Lindsay needed a change of topic,

"There good," Lindsay said smiling and wiping her eyes, "We were going to come see you this weekend, show you how much they have grown, Grace is crawling and Sam is trying to, and Lily is just too plan lazy," she said laughing and Lucia and Gio laughed too,

"Where are they now?" Gio asked,

"At home with Izzy and Matt," Lindsay said smiling,

"Izzy's a good girl isn't she," Lucia said and Lindsay smiled,

"Yeah I don't know what I'd do without her," Lindsay said smiling.

"Iz," Matt said walking into the living room with a cup of hot chocolate, and placing it on the table in front of the sofa where Izzy had sat herself,

"Not got anything stronger," Izzy said solemnly picking up the mug and taking a sip,

"Sorry you are fresh out of vodka shots," Matt said sitting on the sofa next to Izzy and pulling her to him, so her head resting on his chest,

"Pity," Izzy said leaning onto Matt's chest and sighing,

"You okay baby?" Matt asked, and Izzy shook her head,

"This sucks," Izzy mumbled and matt nodded, "Why did he have to get shot, everything was going brilliantly and oh look he gets shot, why is the world so fucked up that it needs to shoot people that are happy,"

"I don't know hun," Matt said, and a cry came from upstairs,

"I'll go," Izzy said getting up and walking upstairs grabbing a crying Lily and picking up a semi awake Sam as well, leaving Grace for the next trip, she brought them downstairs and put Sam into the playpen, shushing Lily by rocking her on her hip before going back upstairs and grabbing Grace out of the pen and taking her downstairs to the pen with Sam,

"You think they know what's going on?" Izzy asked giving Lily a teething ring to chew on as her teeth were coming through, a little later than Sam and Grace who had most of their teeth out already but so they didn't feel left out she gave them there's as well,

"I don't know," Matt said pulling funny faces making Lily giggle,

"I think they do," Izzy said looking at Lily putting kisses all over her face, "They were sad at the hospital and they know Mom and dad aren't here. Otherwise they would still be napping and not playing us up," she said laughing and poking Lily on the nose causing her to squeal,

"You think they're hungry?" Matt asked knowing none of them had eaten since early that day,

"I think so," Izzy said laughing as Lily's tummy rumbled,

"What we going to eat then?" Matt asked,

"Order us some pizza and we can try these on it, they've had it before, if not I think we have some baby food in the fridge," Izzy said stand up with Lily still on her hip,

"Okay then," Matt said smiling and walking towards the phone, seeing Izzy sigh looking at a photo of all six on them on the mantel piece, stroking Lily's hair as she smiled and grabbed for her hair, "Listen," Matt said to the sky, "I know I don't do this often but please let Danny be okay, cause I don't think any of them could handle it if he wasn't." He said before dialling the number of the local pizza shop.
