Lindsay stood a hand on her stomach and her husbands arm around her shoulder.
'You alright.' He asked her quietly. He didn't know about her but he was as scared as he had been that time almost two years ago. He'd thought that he'd never get to see her again. Smell her perfume. Or buy that shampoo that cost five dollars when the one next to it almost half the price was just as good.
'As nervous as hell but I think I'll live.' She laughed, she felt like she was awaiting execution. On the other side of the door a group of people closer to her than her family awaited them.
'Ready.' He breathed not wanting to keep them locked up, much longer he'd be peeling Flack of the wall. He had a tendency to get bored real easy.
'It's now or never. And I ain't gonna keep a flat stomach for much longer.' He nodded already able to feel the bump underneath her shirt. He pushed open the door and prepared himself to face the fire.
'Messer and Messer. What the hell is so important you've kept me in here for so long.' Flack wandered up to them. Hugging Lindsay and punching Danny playfully on the arm.
'Just sit Don, you'll find out with everyone else.' Mac shouted from the couch. Stella was seated next to him holding his hand. Danny hadn't been the only one who found love out of a tragedy.
'Well…' Hawkes egged them on from the window. His glasses sat on the bridge of his nose as he settled his book down. Always prepared.
'You know the doctors said we could never have kids?' Lindsay started but was interrupted by a scream. Mac placed a hand on Stella's knee to calm her. The pride was pouring out of her.
'Yea well. We've done the impossible. A new baby Messer is coming into the world this fall.' Danny finished her sentence as Lindsay was gushing. Her emotions were already on the fritz.
'Boy or girl?' Hawkes said in between Stella's squeals.
'Girl.' Lindsay answered her hand resting on her stomach. Danny kissed her neck. His hands rested on hers. He could feel the scar beneath her fingers. It honestly seemed like a medical miracle. It had taken her days to wake. But when she finally did it seemed nothing would stop her. Even Danny had been amazed. He'd expected the worst when she'd come from that building and now here they were. Having kids something that seemed impossible.
'And you. Are too be there god parents and surrogate aunties and uncles.' Lindsay was overwhelmed with hugs and congratulations. Whilst Danny got backslaps from the men and a hug from Stella.
'This is better than you're wedding day.' Don grinned. It'd had been a day much like today when they'd announced they're engagement. Danny of course had three best men. Himself, Hawkes and a not so eager Mac. It had taken much persuasion on Stella's behalf to get him to agree. Finally it had come down to him getting to dance with the maid of honour. Stella had gone into overdrive when Lindsay had appointed her Maid of Honour. She'd taken her out dress shopping and everything. Too be honest without her there probably wouldn't have been a wedding at all. And without a wedding there would've been no dance. Thus leading to no Mac and Stella.
'Any idea on names?' It of course had to be Stella who asked this question. Lindsay looked at Danny who smirked and motioned for her too go ahead.
'Daniella Reese Messer.' She smiled patting her stomach. The reason for Reese was still unknown to her. But she'd find out sooner or later.
'Now if you don't mind, today's our day of and Mac you know we don't get those very often. So we shall be giving our farewell.' Danny said giving everyone a last hug or handshake.
'Bye everyone.' Lindsay gave Flack a hug and waved to everyone else. After one last bout of congratulations they left. Once outside Danny locked Lindsay into a kiss. She returned it smiling as she did so.
'That wasn't so bad.' She laughed.
'Yeah. No idea why we were so scared.' He grasped her hand as they walked down the corridor.
'Didn't it have something to do with Mac?' Lindsay suggested only to be greeted with a furious head shake from Danny, so too her it meant yes. Flack watched the couple mingle in with crowd. There voices drifting away as the did so.
'Who'd have thought of the day.' Stella walked up behind him.
'What day,' Confused she turned to face him.
' Danny Messer. New York's very own Casanova settling down.' He shook his head, he was happy for them no-one deserved happiness more than them.
'If I remember rightly you said that at the wedding.' Mac said joining them kissing Stella lightly on the cheek.
'I did?' He scratched his head.
'Yup. And Stella said…' Mac held out a hand to cue Stella.
'He found his Angel.'
Lindsay was going mad. She'd been sitting in this same spot for the last hour running fingerprints through AFIS. This was too be her last case in the field and she hadn't done much at all. Danny was getting overprotective and it was annoying her. The computer emitted a loud beep.
'Thank the lord!' She threw her hands into the air paper in hand.
'Adios lab!' She walked briskly out of the lab her lab coat abandoned on the chair. The lab techs she'd left behind were silently thankful. There prayers had been answered. The usually timid Mrs Messer had turned into a full blown hormonal machine. She had her ups and her downs and they avoided her as much as possible whilst she was in the downs. That was if they wanted to keep there heads. Danny had been walking the corridor when Lindsay walked into him.
'Hey Messer. Your results.' She shoved them in his face. Danny took them from her hands. He flicked over the page and swept Lindsay into a bear hug.
'Oh I love you Montana.' He kissed her leaving her blushing as an after thought.
'I have a feeling your daughter doesn't. I've peed like twenty times today.' Danny snorted. He would never know how women did it. He bent down 'til he was level with Lindsay's rapidly expanding stomach.
'Sweetie. If you wouldn't mind could you possibly be nice too mommy. She's getting cranky.' Lindsay smacked on the upside of the head smiling as he started laughing.
'You being mean to my nieces mother Messer.' Flack walked up behind and hit Danny on the upside of the head as well.
'You're not pregnant you have no excuse.' Danny reciprocated Flack.
'Boys, Boys.' Lindsay stepped in the middle of the two. These two were going to be worse than the baby when it came.
'Calm or there'll be no desert.' She joked standing on her tiptoes to pat the both on the head.
'Yes mom.' They grinned. Danny walked back to Lindsay.
'Thanks again hon you're a star.' He kissed her again before running off after Flack down the corridor. Lindsay stood one hand on belly the other sweeping the hair out of her eyes.
'Now you heard your Daddy. Be nice or I won't have pizza tonight.' The incessant moving ceased. She is so Danny's child. She thought to herself walking off too the toilet for the twenty-first time that day.
Danny stepped into the hospital scrubs his stomach doing somersaults. He was about to have a new daughter. Oh god he was going to have a daughter. Lindsay lay on the other side of the door. The surgeons prepping her for a c-section. It was too dangerous for a natural birth after the explosion. His spine tingled tingled. He'd never get over that fear. Of loosing her again.
'Mr Messer. We're ready for you now.' A tall midwife pushed open the door for him to come through. He was shaking with nerves. How his legs were keeping him standing was amazing. He was directed to where Lindsay lay. A blue hairnet rested over her caramel hair.
'You alright.' She asked him. She was just as nervous as him. Yet she was the one reassuring him. And she was the one on the table.
'I'm fine. In three minutes we're going to have a daughter.' He mumbled stoking Lindsay's hand. Danny dared take a peak over the divider blocking Lindsay's view of her stomach.
'Oh.' He breathed. He could see the scar covering the majority of her stomach then the small incision they'd just made on top of the bulge that the baby was growing inside of.
'Can't you fell that.' Danny looked back Lindsay who was just staring at the ceiling casually.
'Danny I'm so drugged up you could run me over with a tractor and I wouldn't feel anything.' Danny laughed he looked again and saw them squeezing a small, slimy pink head out of the small cut.
'Wooah! The miracle of life Linds.' She smiled and squeezed his hand. Danny saw the stomach followed by the feet. A doctor tapped him on the shoulder.
'Sir. Do you want to do the honours.' Danny accepted the forceps grinning widely through the mask. The nurse took her over to the scales. They cleaned out her lungs. Danny felt a tear roll down his cheek as her cry pierced the room.
'You have a healthy baby daughter.' Danny took baby Daniella into his arms. She already had a beautiful matt of hair. They wheeled Lindsay out after that. Leading Danny in the opposite direction taking Daniella was taken away from him leaving him bursting with pride. He stripped back down to his jeans and tee and walked out into the waiting room where a bunch of crazy arsed aunties and uncles awaited him.
'How are they?'
'What's she like?'
'It is a girl right?' Thousands of questions hit him a once.
'It is a girl Don and they're both fine. She weighed in at 5 pound 6 ounces.' Danny explained to them all. He led them toward Lindsay's room. She lay exhausted and sore now the painkillers were wearing off. But nothing could stem the flow of pride seeping through her every pore. Everyone hung back as Danny went in. He picked up his daughter and sat beside Lindsay. The card on Daniella's bed read.
