A/N: It's been such a long time since I posted. I am sorry for that but, I have had a busy summer and fall semester. I hope that y'all enjoy this chapter, as we discover what happens to Lindsay and the babies.

I do not own CSI:NY

Chapter 7

It had been three hours since they brought Lindsay into Mt. Sinai hospital. Lindsay's contractions had finally stopped and she was resting in a hospital room, with Flack by her side. Officer Rodriguez was still taking his orders very seriously and standing directly outside the open door, pretending not to hear a thing they said, or weren't saying at this point. Lindsay had fallen asleep, so the only sound coming from the room was the beeping of the various monitors.

Stella stuck her head in the door, and gave a small smile to see Lindsay laying there sleeping peacefully with Flack holding her hand lightly and sitting in the chair next to the bed, just watching her breath, looking worried but better than he had earlier. Flack looked over at the door, when he heard footsteps nearing, and held a finger to his lips. As gently as possible, he laid Lindsay's pale hand back down on the soft hospital blanket and walked quietly towards Stella.

"Hey, how is she doing?" asked Stella, as soon as Flack reached the doorway.

Flack smiled wearily, "She's going to be okay. The contractions stop. They're keeping her overnight for observation."

"That's great. I just wanted to check in on her. Mac said that he'd give her the rest of the week off. So I don't want to see her until Monday morning." said Stella, with mock sternness.

"Won't be a problem. If Mac hadn't said that, I would have. As it is, her arm's probably going to be limiting her for a little while." said Flack.

"Yeah, she's not going to like that much. If you need anything, just give me a call. I'll do whatever needs to be done." said Stella.

"I sure will Stella, thanks." replied Flack.

"Well, I'm going to go then. Tell Lindsay to call me when she gets home, okay?" said Stella.

Flack nodded, "Will do."

Stella gave him a quick hug before walking back down the hallway. Flack went back into the hospital room to continue his vigil over Lindsay, before laying his weary head on the edge of the bed and falling asleep himself.

~~Monday Morning~~

Lindsay walked back into the Crime Lab excited to be back and feeling better than she had in awhile. The extra few days off had given her extra rest that she desperately needed. As she passed by Mac's office, he waved at her through the glass window to tell her to come in.

"Morning Mac. How are you?" asked Lindsay, after opening the door and stepping into the office.

"I'm well, but how are you?" asked Mac, looking at her with an investigating eye to make sure there was nothing wrong.

"Well, I feel pretty good. My arm is a little sore and I don't really care to do much with it but, other than that I feel fine." replied Lindsay with a smile.

"Good. Have you thought about when you want to go on maternity leave yet?" asked Mac, gesturing for Lindsay to have a seat on the red leather couch.

"Don and I are still discussing it. Twins usually arrive early and the doctor is extra concerned because of the stress levels this job causes. I would like to work as long as possible. I know the limited duty I am on is an inconvenience and I like to keep doing as much as I can." Said Lindsay.

"Just let me know when you plan on going on maternity leave. Take as much time as you need, you still have a fair amount saved up. Here's the forms you'll need for that. I've got you in the A/V lab today. I think you'll be busy today but, take as many breaks as you need. Take care of yourself first, case second. Alright?" said Mac a little sternly.

Lindsay gave him a wry grin, "Sure thing Mac. Don's already given me one talking-to today. I'll take what time I need, but the A/V lab is fairly low-stress."

"I know that's why I put you there.", Replied Mac just before his cell phone rang.

"Well, I'll go get to work then.", said Lindsay, standing up and heading to the A/V lab. Mac acknowledged her statement with a wave as he answered the phone.

Lunchtime~~

Around noon, Lindsay wondered down to the break room to eat lunch. She'd eaten a snack around ten, but eating for three made her hungry more often. The cravings she was having today were also a little strange. Flack had teased her a little that morning about packing jalepenos, mayonnaise, chocolate sauce and barbecue fritos. Lindsay knew if she wasn't pregnant, eating those foods together would be completely disgusting but right now, they sounded just heavenly. After pulling her food out of the refrigerator, Lindsay sat down at one of the tables and watched the twelve o'clock news. It wasn't very interesting, just the usual depressing stories flitting across the screen, but the babies seemed to like listening to the male anchor. Every time he spoke, they kicked.

"Could you little ones calm down long enough for me to finish eating?", asked Lindsay, looking down at her stomach.

"Are the babies being really active today Lindsay?", asked Stella, walking into the break room with a cup of coffee in one hand and a case file in the other.

"Yeah, they love male voices for some reason. Every time they hear a deep male voice they start kicking up a storm. I may have two future soccer stars in here.", replied Lindsay.

"If Flack has any say in it, I'm sure they'll be on the Rangers.", said Stella with a laugh.

"Yeah, he loves hockey and there is no team but the Rangers. I'm sure Danny will get them Islanders gear just to tick him off.", said Lindsay.

Stella gave another laugh, "Probably will. Well, I just wanted to see how you were holding up today. I couldn't catch you this morning because I was at a scene."

"I'm feeling really good today. A little tired, but I think I'll feel better after I finish eating. I'm about half way through those tapes. I should have something for you soon." said Lindsay, before eating another frito covered in chocolate sauce.

"Okay, well, I hope you keep feeling good. Let me know when you get something, I've got to get back to work on this case." said Stella, giving Lindsay a light hug.

"I will." said Lindsay, going back to eating her lunch.

Later that night~

"How was your first day back, doll?", asked Flack, giving Lindsay a kiss as he walked in the door.

"Good. But tiring, I may have to ask Mac to cut the number of hours I'm working. Can we afford it?" asked Lindsay.

Flack looked Lindsay in the eye while tugging off his tie, "We can afford whatever it takes to keep you and the babies safe and healthy. Okay, Linny. Do what you need to do."

Lindsay smiled, "Well right now, I need to take a handsome homicide detective to bed."

Flack grinned, "Lead the way."

A/N: Just wanted to end the chapter with a bit of fluff. I hope everyone enjoyed this installment. I will try to update soon.
