Legal Stuff: While I did use a few words and some piece's of the story of CSI:NY I don't own nor make any profits from the show or writing this fanfic.

Before you read let me just tell you I don't like Rikki Sandoval. If she really didn't want to sleep with Danny she would have stop before it began instead of putting up a token protest. And I think she really was just using his guilt a against him like she said. And for a moment I hated Danny for letting her while leaving Lindsay so alone. But hey I am so over it now while trying to be anyway. . .

R/R

Danny jerked awake to his name being called sitting straight up. His heart was pounding in his chest so loud he swore it would jump out. It took him a few moments to realize he was staring into the brown worried eyes of his Montana.

"Danny are okay?" he swallowed a few times 'it was just a dream' he thought flipping Lindsay onto her back he check her from head to toe for injuries 'just in case' he sighed dropping his face to her neck.

"What's wrong with you?"

"Nothin," he mumbled into her hair sitting up and pulling her up into his arms. "Everythin is perfect"

"Danny," she pulled back and studied his face.

"Just a dream nothin to worry bout. Um . . . ya still going to look at dat sublet dis morning?"

"Yea, I just about to go get ready when you started sobbing my name. Are you sure you are alright?"

"Yea let meh hold ya for a moment kay" Lindsay nodded and wrapped her arms around him. She still wasn't convinced that everything was alright but she wouldn't push him. "Montana you know I love you right? I do I love ya so much even at times when I can't find da words ta express how I feel remember I love you okay"

"Danny," he kissed her than shook his head.

"No (kiss) no (kiss) listen okay!" he kissed her again. The dream still fresh in his mind tormenting him. They woke up together and smiled at one another, they kissed but neither said a word to each until they were leaving his apartment. So many things were left unsaid, so many things he wanted to say to her. Nothing sexual happened in the dream just like last night. He wanted her to spend the night so he could once again hold her in his arms. "I don't know how ya did it Lindsay. All da times I didn't talk to ya. Yet ya called me all the time: asked how I was, or tried to get meh out my apartment." he licked his lips. "When ya told me ya love me than stopped calling and talking to meh except for work it almost killed meh. All those quiet lonely nights made me realize that I wanted no needed ya in my life. Ya da only good thing I got Lindsay. I can't lose ya not ever. I love ya to much for that." he kissed her again.

"Oh Danny I love you too," she couldn't help but be touched even though she was still worried about him. Her eyes strayed to the bedside clock. 'Holy crap' she thought scrambling out of Danny's hold and off the bed. She only had a little under an hour to get to the clinic. Okay so she lied about going to look at a sublet but she didn't want Danny to worry. And if it turned out to be nothing but stress she didn't want to get her hopes up.

He sighed and fell back on the bed when Lindsay left the room. "Urgh dis dream is killin meh," he could recalled everything that happened in the dream as he looked at the clock. 8:59 at 9:00 his phone rang in the dream and it was Rikki. His thoughts were cut short when his phone rang his eyes wide he took in the number and the time.

"Yea Rikki wha"

"Danny oh gawd," He listen to her sob for a minute praying silently. 'please don't say it please' "I'm pregnant" 'shit' he screamed inwardly and made a solemn vow he would not lose 'his Montana' He frowned and stopped himself from saying the first thing that came to mind.

"Ya sure?"

"I am"

"Ya know Ima back wit my girl-friend Rikki and Ima need proof before I tell her anything," he frowned again thinking about the dream.

"Why does she have to know, it could our secret like before."

"No I swore ta her no more secrets."

"Fine I got an appointment today wanna come wit me?"

"Sure wha time is it?"

"11:30 you can come by my new place at about 10 kay?"

"Fine," he hung up with a sigh. His mind went to work mode picking apart how Rikki sounded on the phone. He compared everything she said to what he remembered from the dream. In the dream he was in such a shock that he just said 'okay wha ever ya need let meh know' hung up and went about his day before he told Lindsay about the call.

They both rush around to get ready and traded a few kisses Danny walked her to the subway before going the opposite way to Rikki's.

"Hey Mac I have a favor to ask?" Danny thought if he changed things up than everything would be alright.

"What kind of favor Danny"

"Well I have ta run dis errand and it at eleven when I start my shift. I was wandering if I could come in at noon instead. If ya say yea I'll bring ya and Stella. .lunc" he chuckled.

"Um"

"I'll even pay. Come on Mac," finding out the truth wasn't below a little begging and Mac wouldn't hold it against him.

"Wait your paying for lunch for me and Stella are you bring it when you can in?"

"Of course"

"You got a deal Danny"

"Boom" he closed his phone and jogged up to Rikki's building. He wasn't trying to go in but she insisted he come up. So he did thinking nothing of it until he came to her apartment door. He knocked impatient to get going. Rikki open the door after a few moments wearing nothing but a button down white shirt with only three of the buttons closed.

"Wha da hell is dis Rikki? Wha game is ya playin?" he moved into her apartment. She pressed against him playing with the buttons on his shirt.

"I want you Danny it was a mistake ending things between us."

"Dats too bad Rikki ya and meh is not happpenin. There is only one woman for meh and ya ain't her"

"You weren't saying that a few weeks ago. In fact you thought nothing of that woman," she traced the muscles of his chest with a lazy smile. Rikki pouted as Danny pushed her away crossing his arms across his chest and level her with a questioning stare.

"Ya ain't pregnant are ya?"

"Did you tell her Danny? Did you tell your precious girl-friend that I was pregnant with your child?" He noticed for the first time how her voice seem to ooze with sadistic pleasure at the though of him telling 'his Montana' something unfounded.

"Hate to bust ya bubble there Rikki but I ain't in the business of spreadin lies. I sure ain't going to tell that shit to da woman I love."

"Da woman ya love," she mocked undoing the three buttons she sat on the arm of her sofa and smiled at Danny. "You weren't thinking of loving her when you were in me Danny. Why think of her now? You know you want this you don't have to pertain with me Danny. Sure I'm not pregnant now but I can be much later," she smiled.

Danny laughed and walked away closing the door behind him. Rikki snatched the door open screaming at him to stop which he did and turned back to her.

"Don't you walk away from me Danny Messer you owe me"

"N wha do ya think I owe ya Rikki?"

"You are the reason I lost my son. You're the reason my son died-"

"So ya think I should get ya pregnant so some form of what . . . debt?" he asked her wide eyed.

"Of course I expect you to take care of us but yea. Don't you think that would be great? We'll name him Danny after you," she smiled happily.

"I don't think so Rikki that is so not happpenin."

"You owe me Danny Messer you owe me this." she snapped.

"Ya right I do owe ya something," he walked close to her and saw her smile. Danny greeted her with a smirk as he bent and kissed her on the forehead. "I'm sorry Rikki"

He turned and walked away from the shocked woman. Sure it still sort of hurt to think of Ruben but it didn't eat at him like before. Than again since figuring out that he loved Lindsay nothing seemed the same any more. Danny sighed, still he had to figure out a way to tell her about Rikki and himself before the woman did something crazy. He looked at his watch it was 11:30 now about in the dream he remembered it was 12:30 when Lindsay and he talked at 12:40 his whole life was in a tailspin. He remembered what his mother use to say about dreams like the one he had. Nothing good could come of it.

'Maybe I shouldn't tell Montana at all?' he thought walking into the café two blocks up from the lab. 'Maybe that's what the dream is telling me'
