A/n: Here is the next chapter of this series of connected one-shots, like I said at the end of the previous chapter, this takes place a little bit after the sick kiddies part of chapter one , so the twins are four years old. This starts a little angsty but it doesn't last long before the fluff starts ,so stick with it.

After deciding to try for another baby, Danny and Mindy found it wasn't as easy getting pregnant this time around. Mindy kept up her optimism and hope that it would happen, but after a year passed by with no pregnancy, even she was beginning to doubt. She and Danny were checked out and no problems were found in terms of fertility. There was no physical reason why they hadn't gotten pregnant. They'd had one positive result at the end of that year, after a missed period, but when Mindy went in for a blood test it indicated she wasn't pregnant. She got her period two days later, and when the twins were in bed asleep, Danny found her crying in their bed.

"Min?" Danny said, walking into their room. Her only response was a deep sob. Danny felt his heart break; he hadn't felt that way since the time they'd briefly broken up.

Danny made his way to the bed, and pulled his crying wife into his arms. He knew there was nothing he could say to make her feel better, all he could do was be there for her, holding her close and not letting go, for as long as she needed it. Mindy cried for a few more minutes, before pulling away from Danny and speaking.

"I'm sorry, Danny," Mindy said, her face streaked with tears.

"For what?" Danny asked, confused.

"I know the doctors say everything is healthy, but I think they're wrong. I think it's me. It's my fault. It's gotta be me, right? We've been trying for a year. I know I should have eaten and taken better care of myself when I was younger, but I always thought I'd be okay. The fact that we can't get pregnant again has to mean I was wrong," Mindy said.

"Min, sweetheart, that's not true. Listen, sometimes these things take a while. We're gynecologists. We know that better than anyone. So what if for some reason, we don't have another baby..." Danny began, but Mindy cut him off.

"Don't say that, Danny. I know you want this as much as I do."

"I wasn't done," Danny answered, grasping her hand in his.

"Of course, I'd be happy to have another baby, but you've already given me two amazing and wonderful children. So if two is all we get, that's already more than I ever thought I would have. Whatever happens, you, Chloe and Robbie are more than enough for me. Because I love them and I love you, always, no matter what," Danny said, pulling her closer to him and kissing her forehead.

"I love you too, Danny, so much," Mindy said, kissing him. Things started to heat up between them, but with her current situation and the exhaustion and stress they'd both been under, they settled for cuddling.

"Min," Danny said as they lay in bed together, "why don't we go out to dinner on Saturday? We've both been stressed, and with everything we could use a night out."

"Can we go dancing?" Mindy asked, lifting her head from his chest .

"Yeah, why not?" Danny said, offering her a smile.

"But what about the twins?" Mindy asked. They hadn't spent a night out away from the kids since the twins had both been hospitalized a few months prior.

"Morgan's been begging us to watch them. He wants the practice for when he and Tamara decide to start trying," Danny replied.

"You already told him yes, didn't you?" Mindy said, sensing that this wasn't a spur of the moment plan.

"I might have," Danny said smugly.

"Yeah, let's do it. We both could use a fun night out. Not that I don't love spending time in with the kids and re-watching Finding Nemo for the sixth time," Mindy said with a smirk.

"Good, 'cause I've got everything planned out," Danny said.

"Really! So, we've got dancing. What else?" Mindy asked.

"Dinner."

"And?"

"You know the usual, romance stuff," Danny said nonchalantly.

"Usual romance stuff?"

"Yup, usual romance stuff."

"Hmmm, okay," Mindy said, and surprisingly didn't ask anymore questions. Instead she lay her head back down on her husband's chest and quickly drifted off to sleep.

Two and a half Months Later

Mindy was looking through a patient's file, when suddenly she was hit with a wave of nausea. She made it to the restroom just in time, emptying her stomach of the two bear claws she'd eaten, along with the French toast breakfast Danny had made. She pulled herself up off the ground, and rinsed out her mouth with the water from the sink. She glanced at herself in the mirror and she looked awful. Thank god she'd made the last minute decision to wear her hair up that day. She was sweaty and her makeup was running. She turned the faucet on to run water down her face, but was hit with another wave of nausea, this time emptying whatever was left in her stomach in the sink.

"Betsy, where's Danny?" Mindy asked. After rinsing her mouth out a second time, she went in search of her husband, but he wasn't in his office.

"Dr. Castellano got called for an emergency surgery. Mrs. Brooks went into labor early. Is everything alright Dr. L?" Betsy asked, noting Mindy's disheveled appearance.

"Yeah, I just, I'm not feeling well, so I'm gonna go home. If you could reschedule my patients and have maintenance clean the women's restroom?" Mindy asaked. She knew Danny might be in surgery for hours, so she would leave him a short message so he wouldn't worry when he got back to the office to find her gone.

"Sure. Are you sure everything's alright, should I call someone to pick you up?" Betsy said. Mindy looked like Danny did when he had bacterial meningitis a few years back.

"Yeah, no, I'll be alright. It's probably just the stomach flu," Mindy said, then left. She walked toward the subway, thinking through what she could have eaten to make her sick. She'd stolen a bite of Peter's lunch yesterday, when she'd popped into his office to share the twins' new school pictures. It looked good, but she was not prepared for the spiciness of it. That had to be it, right?

"That's why I shouldn't eat spicy food... Oh my god, I'm probably pregnant!" Mindy said, stopping in her tracks. She thought back to her last period. She hadn't had one since right after their false positive, and she'd only been a week late then. She made her way to a corner store, buying four different pregnancy tests before catching the train home. The kids would be in school for another two hours. She took a deep breath then took the first pregnancy test, then the second, third and finally the fourth. With each test the result was the same, and after seeing the fourth test tears started to pour down her face. She took another deep breath, then called Danny's mom to see if she'd watch the twins after school.

After explaining why and what she had planned, Mama Castellano happily agreed to pick up the twins from school and keep them for a couple of hours. Mindy then went to go see a friend. She arrived back home an hour later, and got to work. Danny had texted her that he'd be home within the next hour, so she didn't have much time.

"Min? Robbie, Chlo?" Danny said, walking into their home and not seeing his wife or their children. Usually when he got home, it was bustling with noise. The four and a half year olds were pretty active.

"In the kitchen…" Mindy finally called out.

Danny found that strange because he could smell cooking food. Mindy never cooked. Well unless you count the one time a year on Danny's birthday. She always made him breakfast, or that one year when she'd cooked on their anniversary. He spotted a covered silver tray on the counter.

"What's going on?" Danny asked.

"I made dinner," Mindy said with a smile.

"But, it's not my birthday," Danny said.

"Nope."

"Or our anniversary. I didn't miss our anniversary, did I?" Danny said, panicking.

"No, you idiot, it was four months ago," Mindy replied.

"Right, yeah, I knew that," Danny said.

"You want to see what I made?" Mindy asked, motioning to the covered silver tray.

"Sure. Okay," Danny said, a little scared. Mindy was acting more weird than usual. He lifted the cover off the tray to reveal four pregnancy test sticks all with positive results and a printed medical document.

"So what do you think?" Mindy said, barely able to contain her excitement.

"Are those… is that… are we?" Danny said, barely able to form the words. Mindy just nodded with a big smile.

"You're pregnant? We're pregnant?" Danny said, not believing it.

"Yeah, I went into the hospital after taking the tests and got it confirmed. We're having a baby!" Mindy said, beaming with joy.

"We're pregnant!" Danny said and happily scooped his wife up in his arms, spinning her around, before putting her down on the ground and kissing her.

"And you were all worried we'd only have two. I told you it would happen," Mindy said.

"I, what? That was you..." Danny began to defend himself till he saw the smirk on her face.

"You're messing with me."

"Thank you," Mindy said, wrapping her arms around his neck and looking deep into his eyes.

"For what?"

"For loving me and always being there and supportive when I doubt myself…oh, god, are the hormones starting already?" Mindy said, as tears started to fall down her face.

"No, all I see are tears of joy," Danny said rubbing the tears away from her face . He then kissed her, pouring all his joy and love for her into the kiss.

Seven Months later Danny and Mindy welcomed their third child into the world, a daughter, Piper Marie Castellano. Danny called her his little miracle. Mindy called her, her angel. Robbie adored her, and Chloe finally had a sister to play princess.

A/n: I've never been pregnant and don't plan on being for awhile , but I know some people who've had difficulties etc. Although this series is supposed to be fluffy, my idea of living happily ever after is that it should come with realistic obstacles that are apart of everyday life, which I had in mind as I wrote this. I hope y'all enjoyed this and I promise this is as heavy as the story will get. Special thanks as always to my lovely beta Robin, follower her on tumblr at redrobin2175, and me at mindiangrowl, I'm also on twitter Jenny Brown mindiangrowl, I just joined and would love to connect with my fellow mindians.
