Chapter 57
Danny stayed in hospital for a week after he woke up and he spent most of his time moaning, which Lindsay saw he was worse than Izzy after she had been shot, and watching re-run's of Yankee's games that Flack brought him in, or being a babysitter for the trips, which either his mother or Lindsay there with him, but it was most times his mother as Lindsay had begun to work more as Danny was off ill.
"Finally I'm home," Danny said hobbling into the living room with a grunt as his stomach hurt where the stitches were pulled with every step, and collapsing down on the sofa putting his feet up on Izzy's lap who was sitting reading a book,
"Do you mind?" Izzy said looking over her glasses at him,
"Nope," Danny said sighing with contentment at being back on his own sofa, and Izzy rolled her eyes and continued to read her book,
"aaa," Grace said crawling over to Danny and he lent down and picked her up,
"Hey baby girl," Danny said kissing her nose and tickling her sides, then putting her on his chest and she crawled down his legs towards Izzy, babbling to herself.
"Hey get off," Izzy said as Grace grabbed onto Izzy's book pulling on it, "Grace get off it now," she said pulling it away from Grace causing her bottom lip to tremble and her to burst into tears,
"Isabelle, stop teasing your sister," Lindsay said walking into the room and picking a squalling Grace up off of Danny's leg,
"I didn't do anything, she was trying to steal my book and I said not to," Izzy said rolling her eyes,
"She's 7 months old Izzy, she doesn't know what she's doing," Lindsay said bouncing her up and down and Grace calmed down after she saw her brightly coloured toys on the floor and reached out to grab them,
"I know she's 7 months old," Izzy said, then looked at her mom and then dad and saw she wasn't going to win, "Okay, fine, sorry," she mumbled and went back to reading her book,
"Izzy can you do me a favour," Lindsay said a few moments later as Izzy began to turn the page,
"What mom," Izzy said trying not to get annoyed, she had been looking forward to finishing her book for ages and now with Matt at College, and Danny finally back she thought she might be able to,
"Can you pop next door and see if Ellie still wants that cake she wanted me to bake for Jason's birthday," Lindsay said popping a drink down on the table for Danny who smiled and finally took his legs off of Izzy and turned to watch the trips playing with a hiss,
"Why can't you go?" Izzy asked still immersed in her book, it had just gotten to a good bit,
"I asked you to," Lindsay said putting 3 sippy cups down onto the floor next to the trips,
"But mom, it's the good bit," Izzy said looking up from her book and at Lindsay's stern face,
"Now," Lindsay said sternly and Izzy sighed,
"I'll find out if Edward and Bella get together after I get back then," she mumbled with a huff, putting Twilight down on the table and walking out of the door, jumped over the hedge and knocked on the door,
"Hey Izzy," Ellie said opening the door with Leah's youngest sister baby Summer on her hips,
"Mom asked me come to come ask you if you still want the cake for Jason's birthday," Izzy said and Ellie smiled,
"Oh yes please," Ellie said, adjusting Summer on her hip, "If it's not too much trouble with your dad just coming out of hospital and all,"
"No she said it was fine," Izzy said stroking Summer on the head and she smiled and squealed,
"Then that would be lovely thank you," Ellie said smiling,
"Is Leah in?" Izzy asked, remembering she hadn't seen her in a few days,
"Oh no she's gone on a school trip, didn't she tell you," Ellie said and Izzy suddenly realised,
"Oh god yes, I forgot," Izzy said laughing, "Well I best be going by Ellie, bye Summer," she said waving at the baby who squealed and smiled,
"Bye Iz," Ellie said smiling then closed the door and Izzy jumped the hedge and went back into the house and saw her book was now closed on the floor next to Grace,
"Brilliant," Izzy mumbled walking over and picking up the book, "I'm going to my room," she said and stormed up the stairs, into the room and slammed the door shut, "Finally," she said flopping down on the bed finding the page and finally began finishing the book.
"What's up with her?" Danny asked and Lindsay sighed sitting on the sofa next to Danny watching the trips play with some giant Lego blocks,
"Matt left for college this morning," Lindsay said and Danny nodded, "That and you know that's probably the only alone time she's had in nearly 2 weeks, she's been brilliant with the trips and helping round the house,"
"Doesn't surprise me, she's a brilliant kid," Danny said and Lindsay smiled,
"It's been hard on her," Lindsay said, "You being hurt and she hasn't really talked to anyone about it either, just shut up and became super sister,"
"Sounds like a typical Izzy response," Danny said and Lindsay nodded her head sighing,
"She won't talk to anyone either so I suppose we just let her let it out in her own way and feel glad we have a normal teenage girl," Lindsay said and Danny said smiling,
"I just realised in 13 years time we'll have three of them at the same time," Danny said and Lindsay looked at him nervously,
"Oh joy," Lindsay said and they burst out laughing, "But at least they'll have a 27 year old big sister to run to when the parents get too much. Oh my god she'll be 27, Danny my baby will be able to have children and get married in 4 years time," she said shocked and semi distraught and Danny pulled her into a hug,
"Hey, she'll be fine, she's a cleaver girl," Danny said and Lindsay smiled and nodded,
"Sorry but by the time these three are at school she could get married and everything," Lindsay said sighing and looking at the trips, chuckling as Sam tried to eat his foot,
"Bet that tastes nice," Danny said chuckling as well and pulling Lindsay to his chest, "We'll be okay Montana and if Matt even thinks of marrying her or having his wicked way with her, me, Flack and Mac will be there to kill him,"
"I know you will," Lindsay said sighing and snuggling into him, glad he was home.
Izzy came down a little later, to see Danny and Lindsay still curled up on the sofa, she smiled and walked into the kitchen and grabbed some ice cream out of the freezer,
"What's the matter?" Lindsay asked looking up from the sofa as Izzy sat in the armchair and munched on some ice cream,
"Nothing," Izzy said,
"You're eating ice cream what's the matter?" Lindsay asked,
"I miss Matt already," Izzy said pouting, "And Leah is away with school and Sarah is still at home and I have been stuck in the house for the past nearly 2 weeks with 3 7 months old and to be honest you can't really have a conversation with them can you. Oh and I'm feeling hormonal,"
"Okay I think I'm gonna go get myself something to eat," Danny said feeling a little uncomfortable as he knew this was going to get into girl talk,
"Dad for god's sake you have 3 daughters your gonna have to talk about it sometime," Izzy said chuckling and Danny blushed and rubbed his hand round the back of his neck,
"I'm thinking more later," he said and walked off slowly into the kitchen picking Sam up on the way, "You don't need to hear this right now little man, I don't think I'm ready for it," he said and Lindsay and Izzy burst out laughing,
"He is such a typical bloke," Izzy said laughing and Lindsay smiled seeing Izzy laugh again warmed her heart,
"So basically you're having a time of the month mood then baby girl," Lindsay said and Izzy shrugged then nodded,
"Timing sucks, I was depressed enough already," Izzy said sighing, "But chocolate makes it all better," she said smiling,
"That it does," Lindsay said smiling back, "So how about me and you do something tomorrow, Flack is coming over and him and Danny are gonna watch the game and things, so how about we go out and have some girly time, go catch a movie or something,"
"Sounds good," Izzy said smiling, "We can go see Harry Potter,"
"Do we have to?" Lindsay said grumbling,
"Yes," Izzy said laughing, "I'm English hence going and seeing Harry Potter is a must, I read the new book in 6 hours mom," she said, she had brought the book on the flight to Montana the day it was released and no one was allowed to talk to her during the flight because of it,
"Don't we know it Iz," Lindsay said rolling her eyes, "Okay I'll go see Harry Potter with you,"
"Yey, you're the best mom ever did I mention that," Izzy said smiling,
"You may have once or twice," Lindsay said laughing and leaning down to pick Lily up as she sat at her feet with her hands in the air, "Okay missy you need changing," she said laughing, checking Grace who was clean and then walked up stairs,
"Are we safe?" Danny asked walking back into the room with a sandwich in one hand and Sam in the other who was wiggling too much so he put him down to wiggle crawl back to his sister,
"Yeah dad your safe," Izzy said chuckling, "Although seriously your gonna have to get used to all this,"
"I never did growing up so I don't intend to now," Danny said going a little pale and Izzy chuckled and got up to go put the ice cream back in the freezer,
"We're going out tomorrow," she said walking back into the living room,
"Good, you and your mom need some girly time hu?" he asked and Izzy nodded,
"We're gonna go see Harry Potter," Izzy said and Danny laughed rolling his eyes, "Hey it's not my fault I'm English now is it,"
"Next you'll be wanting us to watch cricket and drink tea," Danny said chuckling,
"You're a very funny dad you know that," Izzy said scowling and rolling her eyes, forcing a laugh, "Real comic genius,"
"Love you too," Danny said chuckling as Lindsay came back downstairs with a clean Lily,
"So what time is Flack coming round tomorrow?" Lindsay asked putting Lily back on the floor,
"Around 5 I think," Danny said,
"Sounds good," Lindsay said and Izzy smiled and nodded,
"I'm gonna go practice my violin for a bit," Izzy said, Danny and Lindsay smiled and nodded,

The next day Izzy was sitting in the living room getting ready to go out, she decided to straighten her hair and Lindsay was finishing it off in the living room as it was too long to do herself,
"Anyone in?" Flack said knocking on the open door and walking into the house,
"Hey Uncle Don," Izzy said smiling and waving at him from the floor Lindsay sat on a chair behind her,
"Hey Izzy, Linds," Flack said smiling and walking into the room placing the beer and chips on the table in front of them,
"Hey Don, where's Jenny?" Lindsay asked taking the comb out of her mouth before grabbing some more hair and straightening that,
"I'm here," Jenny said smiling walking into the room, all dressed up and ready to go,
"Wow Auntie Jenny you look fab," Izzy said smiling,
"I see your straightening you hair missy," Jenny said and Izzy smiled and then tried to nod but Lindsay slapped her head,
"No moving," she said concentrating on not trying to burn her daughter,
"Sorry mom," Izzy said chuckling,
"When are Mac and Stella coming?" Jenny asked,
The night before Lindsay and Izzy decided it was going to be a proper girls night out, the trips were carted off to Lucia and Gio for the night to be spoiled as they missed having them around and were off to Italy for 3 weeks the day after, and wouldn't be able to see them for nearly a month. Lindsay protested the idea as they had looked after them a lot the 2 weeks before but they argued strongly and ended up winning, so that meant that Danny, Flack, Mac and Hawkes were having a boy's night in watching the game and Jenny, Izzy, Lindsay, Stella and Leah we're going out on the town.
"Hello?" Stella asked knocking at the door,
"Living room," everyone shouted back, and in walked Stella, Mac and Hawkes,
"Hey Bella nice hair," Mac said smiling and sitting on the sofa next to Flack, while Stella handed Danny the beer and food,
"Thanks Uncle Mac," Izzy said smiling,
"Yeah it looks good kiddo," Hawkes said,
"Thanks Uncle Sheldon it took me ages," Izzy said and Lindsay glared at her,
"Took who ages missy," Lindsay said putting down the straighteners as she had finished smiling at a job well done before frowning at Izzy,
"Okay, so it took mom ages," Izzy said getting up from the floor with a jump, "And it rocks thanks mom," she said kissing Lindsay on the cheek before running towards the door, "Gonna go get Leah be back in a bit," she said and closed the door behind her,
"She's really excited," Lindsay said chuckling,
"Yeah, well Leah did come back earlier and she's going out with her favourite auntie's and mom," Danny said smiling and Lindsay smiled,
"I think it may have something to do with Harry Potter as well," Lindsay said,
"She's British it's in their genes I think," Hawkes said laughing,
"True," Stella said and no one would argue with him,
"Back," Izzy said storming into the house with Leah,
"Hey Leah," Lindsay said smiling,
"Hey Lindsay, hey Danny," Leah said back,
"Oh yeah you don't know anyone I forgot," Izzy said chuckling, "Right the goofy one is Uncle Don, then next to him is Uncle Sheldon he's really cool and good for maths homework, then the extra cool one is Uncle Mac," she said as Flack went to swipe her with a pillow and made puppy dog eyes at Jenny,
"I'm not goofy am I?" he asked and everyone laughed as Jenny rolled her eyes,
"Course not dear," she said patting him on the head and he glared at her and crossed his arms,
"Anyway," Izzy said chuckling, "This is Auntie Stella she's the coolest, and then that's Auntie Jenny, who is unfortunately going out with the goofy one," she said chuckling and Leah chuckled as well,
"For my sins," Jenny muttered under her breath but Lindsay who was sitting on the arm of the chair next to her heard and burst out laughing,
"Hi," she said waving a little shyly,
"Nice to meet ya Leah," Mac said, smiled and everyone else did the same,
"Right that's introductions done, can we go now?" Izzy asked impatiently and Lindsay rolled her eyes,
"Yes go get your bag and we can go," Lindsay said and Izzy beamed, and ran upstairs Leah following her,
"How much coke has she drunk today?" Mac asked and Lindsay shrugged,
"A few glasses," Lindsay said laughing and Mac rolled his eyes, "Don't look at me Danny fed your niece with it,"
"No I did not Montana, you lie," Danny said looking a bit hesitant under Mac's gaze,
"Yeah you did dad," Izzy said returning in record time, Leah puffing slightly behind her,
"She's hyper enough already you know," Leah said in between breaths, and Izzy pouted, "But we love you," she said and pulled her into a hug,
"Thank you," Izzy said smiling, "Can we go now?" she asked and Lindsay nodded,
"Yes come on then," Lindsay said smiling,
"You taking the subway?" Danny asked,
"Yes, and don't worry, me, Stella and Jenny have our pieces with us," Lindsay said and the men relaxed a little, "Right guys don't have too much fun," she said kissing Danny on the lips and walking off to find her purse,
"Bye Dad," Izzy said hugging Danny and then her and Leah walked out after Lindsay, Stella and Jenny.
Once they got a while down the road in near silence Lindsay decided to speak,
"You girls looking forward to this?" Lindsay asked linking arms with Jenny who was smiled and put her head on Lindsay's shoulder,
"Yeah, it's gonna be well good," Izzy said smiling and Leah smiled as well,
"My friends at school went and watched the movie the other day and loved it," Leah said smiling and Izzy smiled back,
"How was camp?" Izzy asked and the two girls started their own convocation leaving the adults to talk amongst themselves,
"When's the wedding then Linny?" Jenny asked and Lindsay shrugged,
"Oh come on kiddo you have to have some idea," Stella said and Lindsay just shrugged again,
"I don't know, we haven't really discussed it since he was in hospital and all we had bigger things to worry about," Lindsay said,
"True, but anyway you need to set a date," Jenny said and Stella agreed,
"Me?" Lindsay asked, as they walking into the subway and each went through the turnstiles,
"Yes you," Jenny said, "Then Danny'll just agree to anything," she said laughing and Lindsay had to nod and laughed too,
"True I suppose," Lindsay said "Izzy, Leah wrong train!" she shouted stopping the girls from getting on the train,
"But we're going into the main city aren't we?" Izzy asked confused,
"Yes, but that's not the one to the city," Lindsay said pointing at the number on the side of the cart,
"Oh yeah," Izzy said smiling, "Thanks mom," she said and her and Leah continued their conversation,
"So when do you think it should be?" Lindsay asked, checking her mobile while they waited on the platform for the train,
"No idea," Jenny said laughing, "Christmas time ish, so its all snowy and nice,"
"You having it in Montana?" Stella asked and Lindsay nodded,
"That we have agreed on," Lindsay said smiling, "We think that it should be there well, Danny thinks I want it there,"
"And you don't?" Jenny asked and Lindsay shrugged,
"It would be easier to have it in New York," Lindsay said and Stella and Jenny smiled and nodded,
"But where does your heart say you should have it?" Stella asked and Lindsay thought about it,
"Here at home in New York," Lindsay said smiling,
"Then here is where we will have it," Stella said smiling,
"Right we have the where all we need now is the when," Jenny said,
"Progress at least, you know if we left it up to them 2 they wouldn't have it till 2 years time," Jenny said chuckling, and Lindsay swiped at her head, as they all got onto the Subway and took a seat,
"Auntie Jenny has a point mom," Izzy said chuckling at the conversation, "Look at how long it took for you to get together," she said laughing and Lindsay rolled her eyes,
"We're not that bad, and thanks for backing me up Iz," Lindsay said rolling her eyes,
"Anytime," Izzy said smiling.
The rest of the night continued the same except for when they were in the movie; everyone was quiet then and enjoyed the new Harry Potter flick. After a nice meal together they got home about 9pm, to find the boys still watching the game, pizza boxes on the table in front of them and a few cans of empty beers, the girls, minus Leah who had school the next day, sat down, each of them on their respected man and Izzy made Hawkes move over so she sat in between him and Flack and Jenny and watched the end of the game, one big, slightly dysfunctional family.
Review me happy :D!!!! xx
