Chapter 60

A month later and it was December, New York was covered in a layer of lovely white snow and Izzy decided to take a walk through Central Park on the way home. Danny had had to work late and Lindsay was cooking and looking after the trips so she decided to walk home and also catch the subway.

She walked towards the Rockefeller centre and saw the big tree, covered in white snow, taking a photo of it, with her phone she kept on walking with her bags and walked towards the subway to catch her train home.

30 minutes later Izzy was stepping off the train and walked out of the station for the short walk to the bus and then a 15 minute bus ride home. Once she had done that she walked to the driveway of the house and saw an unfamiliar motor parked behind the mini-van which Lindsay had purchased much to Danny's annoyance as they needed a bigger car to move the trips around in and Danny's department issue black SUV. She smiled and walked past the car up to the door with her rucksack and small bag, and took out her keys, placing them in the lock, turning the key and walking into the house.

It was decorated in Christmas decorations, and she saw in the front window a Christmas tree with lights shimmering,

"Hello, anyone home?" Izzy asked walking through the door and placing her bags down next to the table in the hall way with her keys,

"Izzy," Lindsay said walking through the door from the kitchen at the end, running up to her eldest daughter and pulling her into a huge hug,

"Hey mom," Izzy said beaming a smile and hugging Lindsay back,

"Missed you baby girl," Lindsay said smiling and kissing her on the forehead,

"Missed you too mom," Izzy said smiling, "Where are dad and the trips?"

"Living room with Louis," Lindsay said smiling and walking towards the entrance to the living room, leaving Izzy to stand there and kept on walking into the kitchen,

"Hey Bells," Danny said smiling sitting up from the sofa and walking towards Izzy pulling her into a hug, while a man and brunette woman turned round and stared at them the man's jaw slightly hitting the floor,

"Daddy," Izzy said beaming a smile and ran to him hugging him, she didn't know why but she felt like calling him daddy, and it made Danny's smile grow more.

"How are you baby girl?" he asked as Izzy walked round and saw Lily, Grace and Sam sitting on the floor playing,

"Iz, Iz, Iz," Sam said looking up at Izzy walking towards them and Izzy's jaw dropped,

"Did we fail to mention he was talking now," Danny said chuckling and Izzy turned and scowled at him,

"Yes you did," Izzy said, glaring at him and then turned to Sam who was sitting giggling, trying to reach the pacifier he has spat out when Izzy had walked in, "You talking now mister?" she asked sitting down and holding her arms out and he crawled to her,

"Iz, Iz, Iz," Sam said smiling and clapping his hands,

"How about bella?" Izzy said to him and Sam scrunched his face up,

"El, El," Sam said instead and Izzy smiled and giggled, as Sam squirmed and moved away,

"Close enough," Izzy said smiling and chuckled, kissing his head, "Anything else you failed to tell me?"

"Well, Grace can walk, a little," Danny said and Izzy beamed a smiled and picked Grace up,

"You walking now Miss Grace Rosa?" Izzy asked and Grace just giggled and stood up pushing on Izzy's shoulder's eager to show her big sister her latest trick, she turned around carefully and took a few shaky steps before falling onto her bottom and giggling, turned round on her bottom and facing Izzy who was smiling and clapping, "Wow, I missed loads," Izzy said sighing before turning round and realised she was being watched by a man and a woman, "Oh hey," she said smiling at them, "I'm guessing your Louis?" she said,

"Yes, and you would be?" Louis asked, causing Izzy to turn and stare at Danny, who was laughing,

"Louis this is my other daughter Isabelle," Danny said and Louis looked shocked again,

"You said she was your baby girl, she doesn't look 7 or 8," Louis said,

"She is," Danny said, "She just happens to be a 14 year old baby girl," he said chuckling, "Sorry I thought you were listening as I explained,"

"Well I was a little shocked that my baby brother was a dad of 4, I kinda zoned out then," Louis said and smiled at Izzy, "So, shall we start again. I would be your Uncle Louis,"

"And I would be your not so little 14 year old niece Isabelle," Izzy said, "As dad put it, but call me Izzy,"

"Nice to meet you," Louis said smiling at her,

"Same," Izzy said smiling back, and then looked at the brunette,

"Oh this is my girlfriend Sasha," Louis said and the woman smiled,

"It's nice to meet you Izzy," she said and Izzy just smiled back,

"You too," Izzy said, and turned away from Louis who continued to stare at her, "I'll go help mom in the kitchen," she said getting off the floor and walking into the kitchen, watching Lindsay move around the various pots and pans, before grabbing a drink out the fridge and sitting on the sideboard.

"Sideboards are for food not asses," Lindsay said putting two hands on her hips and giving Izzy a mock glare who just stuck her tongue out.

"Not moving mom," Izzy said smiling and Lindsay smiled back,

"I've missed you so much," Lindsay said smiling and Izzy smiled back, "but why are you in my kitchen?"

"Louis keeps on staring at me," Izzy said looking at Lindsay with a worried look and Lindsay chuckled,

"I think he was expecting a little girl not you," Lindsay said and Izzy huffed,

"So sorry for being 14 and not 6," Izzy said,

"It's not your fault hun, I think it's a little bit of a shock, he left and his little brother was a single player and he returns to a family man who's engaged, has 3 under 1's and a 14 year old children." Lindsay said stirring the pasta.

"Yeah well he shouldn't be staring at me I don't like it," Izzy said grumpily crossing her arms and pouting,

"Okay now you're acting 6," Lindsay said chuckling, "Hun, he's your uncle and as much as I am a bit weary of him, he's a good guy and he loves your dad so go in there and be nice please."

"Okay," Izzy said sighing, kissing Lindsay on the cheek before walking back into the living room.

"...so I proposed at a meal in Montana," Danny said as Izzy walked into the room,

"It was very romantic," she said walking over to the piano and sitting on the seat as everywhere else in the room was full,

"It was partially your idea," Danny said looking at Izzy smiling,

"Well only the music the rest was all you dad," Izzy said, lifting up the case on the piano keys looking at the white ivory keys.

"You gonna play?" Danny asked,

"I think I might," Izzy said standing up and walking towards the cabinet by the fireplace opening it and bringing out a piano book.

"If you're gonna play; play it properly!" Lindsay shouted from the kitchen,

"Yes mom!" Izzy shouted back rolling her eyes, and walking back to the piano placing the book on the stand and turning it to a page which she had started to learn before she went back to school.

"You play piano?" Louis asked,

"Yeah and violin," Izzy said turning round to face him before turning back and beginning to play to soft melody, and the room went silent, even the trips who loves any music went silent but continued to play with their toys. There was near silence for a few minutes and then Louis and Danny began their idle chat and waited for dinner to be finished and Lindsay came into the room shouting it was ready. The trips sat in their high chairs eating some baby mush which looked disgusting in Izzy's opinion and everyone else sat by them round the table.

"So Danny tells us you're a ballet dancer?" Louis asked Izzy, eating the pasta bake Lindsay had made.

"Yeah, I've been dancing since I can remember," Izzy said smiling, "Now I'm here in New York dancing and I love it,"

"So you're from Montana like your mom?" Louis asked and Izzy chuckled and looked at Lindsay who was smiling, "Am I missing something?"

"Lindsay isn't my biological mom," Izzy said and Louis looked shocked at them both as did Sasha,

"But she looks so like you," Sasha said,

"Really?" Izzy and Lindsay said together, looking at each other smiling,

"Yeah?" Louis said, "You couldn't tell she wasn't your biological daughter," he said to Lindsay,

"Thanks," Izzy said smiling widely, "But yeah I'm adopted, and I'm from England," she said going back to her native accent, since she had been in New York for well over a year she had started to get an American accent and you could hardly tell she was English unless she remembered to change her accent back.

"You're English?" Sasha said as she and Louis stared at the girl once more,

"Yeah, I've only been in New York a little over a year," she said smiling,

"Wow," they both said still staring and Izzy was getting a little self conscious about it all.

"Yeah its great can we change the topic please the staring is getting a little annoying," she mumbled under her breathe but Lindsay heard her and decided to change the topic,

"So we were thinking you could come out to Montana for our wedding in March," Lindsay said and Louis and Sasha smiled,

"I wouldn't miss my baby brothers wedding for anything," Louis said smiling,

"You chose a date?" Izzy asked after giving Lindsay a silent thank you,

"Yeah we booked it for March 18th," Danny said,

"That's in less than 3 months," Izzy stated,

"I know, we still have loads to do," Lindsay said stressing slightly,

"Don't worry mom we'll be fine, and even better me and Stella can help and Jess,"

"True," Lindsay said smiling and they started to talk about weddings and their jobs and everything related to the wedding and also about Christmas the next day, about 10pm they all decided it was time to call it a night, the trips had been put to bed about 2 hours earlier and Izzy had made her way up not long after that, which left the adults talking till it was time for everyone to leave.

***

The next day it was Christmas Day, the second Izzy had had in New York with Lindsay and Danny but it was the trip's first so she decided to wake her parents up how they will be for the many years to follow. She walked into the trips room at 6am and Grace was wide awake standing up in the crib on the railings around it,

"Hey Gracey, how are you doing?" Izzy asked picking her up out of her cot and she murmured some baby talk back,

"That good hu?" she said and walked over to Lily who was also wide awake and had sat up with her arms in the air, so Izzy picked her up as well and placed her on her other hip.

"Now we have to go put you two on to mommy and daddy's bed while I pick up Sam," she said sneaking into her parents room and putting Grace and Lily in the middle of the bed on both their legs, running out of the room picking Sam up and running back jumping onto a sitting position on the end of the bed with Sam still in her arms squealing at the adventure, which caused Lindsay to wake up and Danny to grumble something and roll over.

"Mommy, daddy it's Christmas wake up," Izzy said in a very childish voice,

"Is'bell you're 14 years old, not 14 months go back to bed," Lindsay said very sleepily rolling over as Grace crawled up to the top of the bed Lily following her and they attacked their parents.

"But moooom, it's Christmas!" Izzy said jumping up and down again letting Sam go to join his other sisters in attacking Lindsay and Danny.

"Bella, it's 6, come back in a few hours," Danny grumbled sitting up and pulling Lily and Sam into his lap to stop them poking his face.

"I agree," Lindsay grumbled pulling Grace into her lap to stop her doing the same, "You're teaching them bad habits already; we didn't want them up before 9am on Christmas,"

"Oh you are joking right, you are in for another 16 years of 6am Christmas days mom," Izzy said laughing, "And it's my job as big sister to make sure it happens to you and not me,"

"Great," Danny grumbled wiping the sleep out of his eyes, and looking at Izzy who was beaming at him, and then at the trips that were all smiling up at their parents.

"I suppose we better go downstairs and see what Santa brought hey?" Danny mumbled and Lindsay sighed nodding, picking up Grace and moving to get out of bed, luckily she had some warm clothes on for bed, and grabbed a jumped before walking out of the room. Izzy beamed and picked Lily out of Danny's lap and followed leaving Danny and Sam sitting on the bed,

"You know, I think I need to teach you about sleeping in little man," Danny grumbled reaching for a jumper and standing up and following everyone down the stairs.

He found Lindsay in the kitchen making some hot chocolate and coffee for her and Danny, while Izzy sat on the sofa shivering in her small PJ top and bottoms, which had ballet shoes all over them, and "dancing queen" written on the top.

"Here baby girl have this," he said handing over his NYPD jumper to her, coming to the conclusion he should freeze and not his eldest as they waited for the heating to warm the house up.

"Thanks daddy," Izzy said smiling and putting the jumper on taking in a breath and smelling her father on them and smiled at him. She looked like a little girl sitting on the sofa with Grace and Lily in a jumper which was way too big for her smiling and looking at the tree with presents under them which a look of glee on her face. And suddenly Danny felt at home, with Grace and Lily looking slightly confused but happy with their pink pacifiers in there mouths, and Sam staring at the twinkling lights smiling, with his hand around his binkie. He put him down next to the rest of them and walked into the kitchen putting his arms around Lindsay waist and kissing her neck,

"You know I don't care that its 6am, I don't think I have ever been happier," Danny said smiling and Lindsay turned her head kissed his nose and lay back in his embrace.

"I don't think I have either, Bell looks like a little kid," Lindsay said chuckling looking at their eldest explaining to the trips about Santa who were more interested in the shiny paper than anything.

"Louis was right you know, she looks so much like you it's scary," Danny said as Izzy turned round and smiled at them both before returning back to her story.

"Yeah I know, and sometimes I remember she isn't really mine and it hurts me," Lindsay said sadly,

"But she is yours, she's our little, well not so little girl, and even if you didn't give birth to her she's our daughter Lindsay, our beautiful, intelligent daughter, who soon will be too old to do all this with, so let's make the most of it," he said turning her round in his arms and they shared a kiss,

"Something tells me she will never be too old for Christmas," Lindsay said chuckling kissing Danny one last time before picking up 2 of the mugs and walked out of the kitchen and put the mugs on the table and moved one of the trips out the way so she sat next to Izzy.

"Happy Christmas baby girl," Lindsay said pulling Izzy into a hug and kissing her temple,

"Happy Christmas mom," Izzy said leaning into the hug and smiling as Grace wiggled towards the end of the sofa and tried to get off but Danny caught her before she fell.

"Can we open presents now?" Izzy asked giving them both puppy dog eyes.

"Okay," Lindsay said chuckling as Izzy beamed a smile and picked up three presents and handed them to the trips, and with a little help they opened them. And that's how it went for the next hour, everyone opening presents, with Izzy getting some new dancing stuff and her favourite present an I-pod touch, which she almost squealed when she opened it. After presents they had a family dinner after phone calls from everyone saying Merry Christmas, and just enjoyed the spirit of the day and each others company.
