A/N: I would like to thank y'all for the interest you've taken in my story. I was surprised at how many reviews and hits this story has gotten since I posted it. I hope y'all enjoy this chapter too.
Don Flack was sure that his girlfriend was going to drive him crazy. She was going for her first doctors appointment today. When she'd first told him about it, she hadn't wanted him to have to take off work to go with her. She contended that she was pregnant not incapacitated and didn't need an escort to the doctors office. Then yesterday she announced that she wanted him to go. He asked her why the sudden change in heart and she'd yelled, "Just because!" and locked him out of the bedroom. It was the first night he'd slept on the couch in their whole relationship. The mood swings have arrived in full force and at their best guess, she was only 2 months along!
Continue to brood, Flack nursed his black coffee at their kitchen table waiting for Lindsay to come out of the bedroom. He was pretty sure that she was going to find something wrong again this morning. It was a fifty-fifty chance that Lindsay would be mad. He'd find out soon, her appointment was in an hour and they had to leave in fifteen minutes.
The door to their bedroom opened then and Flack heard Lindsay walk down the hallway. "Morning Linny.", said Flack, not even looking up from his coffee. Lindsay stopped behind his chair and threw her arms around his broad shoulders. Taking in the scent of his hair, she replied, "Morning Donnie. I'm sorry."
Flack let out a sigh, she had him wrapped her littlest finger, there was nothing he wouldn't do for it and well she knew it. " It's alright babe. I understand." No I don't but like hell'll freeze before I tell ya that.
"You're too wonderful." said Lindsay, kissing the top of his head, "Let me just grab something to eat and we can go. Do you have to go to work after this?"
"Yeah, I'm on the late shift for the rest of the week, sorry Linny. I don't get a day off until next Thursday." said Flack, as he turned around to watch Lindsay gather her breakfast out of the refrigerator.
"That's alright Donnie, now that Mac knows about the baby, I'm pretty sure he's going to make sure we're on the same shifts. I just hope he lets me stay in the field.", replied Lindsay
Flack froze as he heard those words come out of her mouth. How could she stay in the field? It was dangerous and she was pregnant! "Donnie, please don't tell me I can't go out in the field. I'll go crazy if I stay in the lab. I'll always stay with someone and I'll be extra careful, just let me stay in the field."
Flack wanted to protest and he opened his mouth to start but realized she was right, she wouldn't be able to handle not being in the field. "Alright, Linny, on the condition that someone is always with you and you don't over do it. Don't take risks. I'm going to worry enough about you as it is."
Lindsay kissed him. "Thanks honey, you wanna drive? We gotta go or we're gonna be late."
Flack held Lindsay's hand while they waited in the doctor's office. She never ceased to amaze him. It didn't phase her to stare down the barrel of a gun or to chase after suspects but here a doctors appointment was making her act like a rookie on their first day walking the beat. She was such a contradiction at times and he wouldn't have it any other way.
"Lindsay Monroe?", called a nurse from the hallway. They stood up and followed her into the exam room, excited and nervous.
A/N: I know it's a short chapter but I wanted to get something up before I went on spring break. When I get back next week, I'll post a new longer chapter.
