I really hope you guys enjoy this chapter :)

Please review!

Danny looked down at the woman gently resting on his chest. He thought about everything that happened last night and smiled slightly. He couldn't help but think back to when he was standing outside her door and all he wanted to do was watch one of her stupid movies with her. Turns out those movies aren't so bad after all, he thought, smiling to himself. She looks so peaceful when she's sleeping, it would be such a shame to wake her up. He checked his watch; they would have to be at work soon. He slowly moved himself out from under her making sure not to wake her up. I should let her sleep in, poor girl's obviously exhausted, he smiled. I was on my A-game yesterday…and this morning. He lightly kissed her on the head, grabbed his stuff and left.

As she heard the front door close, Mindy carefully opened an eye. She had to make sure he was gone; when he didn't come back for three minutes she got up and got dressed. Her stomach growled but she ignored it, she'd get something on the way to work. Oh god, work, she thought. He'd be there. Mindy wasn't even sure what she was so worried about. I mean I like Danny, she thought as images of last night flashed through her mind. I really like Danny. But since when? Last night? Before then he was just the handsome jerk that was constantly getting under my skin, I had never thought of anything like this happening. Well, that's a lie. But who wouldn't? He is just so good looking, I mean even Shauna had a crush on him at one point. But there's a difference having a crush and what she and Danny had done – multiple times…stop it Mindy, now think, what does this all mean? Are Danny and I in a relationship? Mindy realized that the thought didn't creep her out as much as it used to when people in the office suggested that there was a lot of sexual tension between the two of them. Well obviously they weren't in a relationship or he wouldn't have been in such a hurry to leave this morning? And the longer she thought about it, the more she assured herself that it had just been friends comforting friends. As she headed out the door, she realized that she was running late. Well I guess I'm skipping breakfast today…

"Good morning Dr. Lahiri," smiled Betsy.

"Hey," she mumbled back.

"Are you okay?" she questioned. "Did I do something wrong? I'm sorry, I really need this job!'

"It's fine, Besty," she tried to calm the hysteric secretary down. "I'm just a little tired today."

"Oh ok, you should take a nap in your office. I won't tell anyone. However, Dr. Castellano did say that he wanted to see you when you got here.

"What does he want?" she asked.

"I don't know, he doesn't talk much." Mindy walked over to Danny's office and knocked on his door.

"Morgan I am not going to be on your stupid go-cart team, so stop asking!" yelled Danny. She opened his door slightly and peeked in.

"Morgan I said – oh, it's you. Come in, close the door." She shut the door behind her and sat in one of his visitor's chairs. Danny looked through his desk, took out a granola bar and handed it to her. "Here."

"What's this for?"

"Well, I missed breakfast this morning, so I assumed you did to and it's good to keep your fiber intake up after, well you know."

"Sex?"

"Yes."

"So, what are we going to do about this?"

"About what?"

"Us having sex!"

"Well hopefully we'll do it again."

"That's not what I meant! So what are we doing now?" She asked gesturing between the two of them.

"We're talking." She rolled her eyes.

"I meant about the SEX!"

"Woah, lower your voice."

"Why? You liked it when I was loud last night."

"Yes, but we are at work."

"Stop avoiding the question Daniel. Are we in a relationship?"

"Well, that depends on what exactly that means." She stared at him.

"Wow, now I know why you haven't been with a lot of women, sex makes you dumb."

"I'll have you know, I have been with tons of women! I am a sex magnet!"

"Oh, really? How many? Have you been sleeping with the whole town and I was just next on your list? Who says "sex magnet" anymore anyway? Get clue, old man."

"This old man rocked your world last night."

"Oh god Danny, that sounded creepy."

"Ok, maybe a little. But I don't get why you are being so weird about this."

"I am being weird because if we aren't in a relationship that just means we had cheap, meaningless sex last night."

"That's not true. It wasn't meaningless."

"Then why are you pretending like it didn't happen." Danny sighed.

"It did happen ok. I just don't feel the need to share that with all of New York."

"Why? Are you ashamed of me?"

"Well you are kind of obnoxious…"

"Danny!"

"That was a joke! I am sorry, no I am not ashamed. I just think we should keep this to ourselves for now."

"You sound ashamed. You didn't try to hide your last girlfriend from the office – the supermodel."

"Yes, and look how well that turned out."

"What? She got tired of bending over to talk to you. It's not her fault you are very short man."

"I'm taller than you."

"Barely, and I'm a woman. It's different. Guys are supposed to be tall."

"How many times do I have to say this, I am average height. In 2012, there was a study proving, you know what nevermind!"

"Thank you, that sentence was getting extremely boring. You know why? Because it didn't have anything to do with us."

"Ok, Mindy, what we have is-"

"Sex."

"I was going to say special."

"Sex is special."

"True and I don't want to ruin it by having the office constantly monitoring every move we make."

"I guess that's true, the people here can be so nosy."

"Yes they can," he agreed staring at her.

"Ok, you're right I guess. We can keep our forbidden love a secret for now."

"Well, it's not really forbidden-" he began.

"We'll be just like Romeo and Juliet."

"Not really."

"If Juliet was Indian woman in her late twenties/early thirties and both she and Romeo where OB/GYNs living in present day New York."

"So nothing like Romeo and Juliet."

"This is so romantic Danny! I totally have to tell-" He looked at her.

"No one, tell no one. Wait, does no one include Gwen?" He nodded.

"Especially Gwen."

"Oh come on, how can I not tell her? She's my best friend."

"Last time I checked you had a tier filled with people who have earned that title."

"What? It takes hard work to get to that level."

"You once claimed the Starbucks cashier was your best friend because she dotted the "i" with a heart when she wrote your name on your cup."

"It was very thoughtful and cute."

"Mindy, I just don't think we should be telling people." He walked up toward her and placed his hands on her shoulders. "Is it too much to ask that I can have you to myself for a couple of weeks?"

"I guess not, I am pretty awesome." He smiled and kissed her lightly.

"Now take your granola and go. There is worked to be done," he claimed as he slapped her lightly on the behind and headed back to his chair.

"Woah, if we are going to be keeping us a secret at work, that also means hands off at work." He looked at her from his desk.

"I don't know if I like your amendments to my rules."

"Well, thems the brakes." She left his office and made sure to shift her legs on time so Danny could get a good look at what he was missing out on. He noticed.

"Wow, you were in there for quite a while. Are you okay?" asked Betsy. She, Morgan and Shauna had definitely not been standing outside the door trying to figure out what was going on between the two doctors behind the nearly sound proof door. She always had a feeling about them but she wasn't sure if they would ever figure it out.

"Yea, I'm fine."

"In that case, would you like to be on my go-carting team?" asked Morgan hopefully.

"She doesn't want to play your video game Morgan! So, Dr. L how was your "date" last night?" asked Shauna.

"It's not a video game. Come on guys, go-carting was a time honored tradition at my last home," claimed Morgan.

"Don't you mean prison?" she snapped. Mindy laughed and answered Shauna's question about last night.

"It didn't work out."

"Aw, I'm sorry to hear that," Shauna claimed with a smile on her face.

"Yea, sure."

"Oh come on, that Josh guy is bad news. You'll meet the right guy soon." Mindy smiled. "Or already met him? That smile looks like it has a story behind it."

"It's nothing. It's just my night wasn't as bad as I thought."

"Uh huh…why's that?"

"Well, I watched The Notebook."

"That's it?" Shauna sounded disappointed.

"Yea, it was just a lot better than I remembered. On that note, I should go get some work done."

"Oh wait, Dr. Lahiri. The midwives called. They want to see you, something about patient files."

"Are we losing patients to them again?"

"That's just it, no, we aren't. Not a single patient has asked for a transfer."

"They're just trying to mess with us Betsy. Just ignore them."

"Ignore who? Not me I hope, I simply adore attention," entered Jeremy.

"Not you Dr. Reed, no one could possibly ignore you," gushed Betsy.

"Why, thank you." He winked at her and flashed a perfect smile.

"Aren't you supposed to be working?" asked Mindy. "Not flirting with the staff. No offense, Betsy."

"Well, that kind of hurt a little," whispered Betsy.

"This coming from the woman who hasn't set foot in her office all day," noticed Jeremy.

"It's only 9AM!"

"So why are you harassing me about work?"

"Hey guys stop fighting!" shouted Danny. "I have a woman whose having some birthing complications, Dr. Reed can you come help me?"

"Of course."

"Wait, you want Dr. Reed?" asked Mindy.

"Yes."

"Why him and not me?"

"Because my patient's from Liverpool and talking to him might be a good distraction and he's met her before."

"I can be a distraction too."

"Of course you can, but we have to go now. Shauna, hold our calls." The male doctors rushed out of the lobby to the elevators. Mindy stared after them.

"Betsy, please hold my calls."

"Are you going out Dr. Lahiri?"

"Yea, I have to run down to the hospital real quick."
