So. Here it is. The very last one. I just want to say thank you - a HUGE thank you - to everyone who reviewed, put this story on story alert and to all those of you who read this. I had such fun writing it and imagining the conversations playing out in my head - personally I think the ones where I had to picture Danny and his tattoo were the most fun...

Ahem...yes, anyway, thanks for reading, and you will be delighted to know that Ch9 finally came through and a new series of CSI:NY started here last night - YAY!!

Thanks for reading.

Eighteen months later………

No" Lindsay said firmly, glaring at Danny. "No way"

"Aww, come on, it'd be perfect. Monty for short" Danny tried, reaching over and kissing her.

"Kiss me all you want, it's still not happening. I'm not changing my mind. You can kiss me again, if you want, to keep trying and all that, but it's not going to happen." Lindsay told him, looking down at the small bundle wrapped in her arms, snuffling quietly as he slept.

Danny grinned at her, not needing an excuse to kiss her again, but going with the flow anyway. "So, what's wrong with Montana? What's wrong with calling Bump here, Montana?"

"Danny, are you serious? Can you imagine growing up with a name like Montana? A boy called Montana? Monty?" Lindsay's eyebrows almost went into orbit. "Besides" she decided to try a different tactic, "I thought I was Montana. I thought I was your Montana."

Danny grinned again. He loved teasing her, it was so much fun seeing her get all riled up – and even more fun dealing with it. Leaning over, Danny looked deep in her eyes before kissing her. Breaking away for air, he leant down and gave her and Eskimo Kiss, his nose gently rubbing against hers.

"You are my Montana. The only Montana I'll ever want, and the only Montana I'll ever need. You are the one who completes me, who makes my heart smile and my soul sigh with happiness. And yes, before you hit me, I was reading Stella's magazines in the break room the other day, but that's got nothing to do with it. I love you Montana."

Lindsay melted into a puddle of mush, just like she did every time she heard him say that. "I love you too Danny. I love you so much," she smiled, her smile mirrored by his, their kiss deep and loving,

"We do have to think about it though. A name for Bump, I mean. We can't let him go through life called Bump." Lindsay said, surfacing for air and mentally running through her list of names.

"I know, I know. Might make life a little tricky for him," Danny grinned, pulling her closer against him as the smooth skin of her neck just screamed out for a kiss.

"So what've you got then?" Lindsay shivered, reaching up and smoothing her hair out of the way to give him easier access, sighing with happiness as his lips trailed their way from her neck to her lips.

A knock at the door caused them to break apart breathlessly, but Nick knew all to well what they'd been up to when he stepped into the hospital room.

"Good grief, don't you two ever stop doing that?" he smirked," Honestly, you'll put poor Bump off his food – and I really don't need to think like that," Nick said, suddenly stopping in his tracks, causing the small stampede behind him to almost crash.

"Nick, you idiot," Don groaned as Stella accidentally stood on his foot. "What did you stop like that for?"

"You don't want to know" Nick told him, and wisely, Don accepted that. Stella stepped around him, her eyes seeking out the small bundle that now lay snoring in Lindsay's arms, Meg following her and standing on the other side of the bed.

"Sweetheart, he's – " Meg bit back a proud sob," he's gorgeous. He's perfect, he's just – he's – "

Nick sighed dramatically, reaching over and wrapping an arm around his Mum. "Honestly Mum, you've got to stop this tears thing. You wept buckets at their wedding and now you're at it again. Poor Bump here, he'll think it's all you do!"

"Shut up Nick," Meg said with a tearful smile, pulling her son in a little closer, "I can't help it, he's just so gorgeous. "

A thought occurred to Nick. "Mum, you're not going to weep and wail like this at my wedding are you? I'll have to warn people if you are, you know, put life jackets and rafts and the like at the end of each aisle. "

"Pushing your luck now Nicholas," Meg said trying to hide her smile, as she reached into her bag, pulling out a tissue to dry her eyes. "I think I may have to have a talk with Ellie, may have to warn her about your sense of humour"

"Oh, she knows all about it, Mother dearest, and she's had the shots to save her from it." Nick grinned as Meg shook her head in despair. "You know you love me really" Nick bent down and kissed his Mum on the cheek. "So, anyway, you two thought of a name for Bump?"

Trying not to get whiplash from Nick's sudden change of topic, Danny grinned. Lindsay sighed, seeing the look that washed across Danny's face.

"Danny wants to call him Montana – "

"What's wrong with that? " Danny tried again, his smile almost perfectly hidden, except to those who knew him well. Unfortunately for him, everyone in the room knew him well. "We could call him Monty for short, and – "

"I thought there was only one Montana" Stella rescued Lindsay.

"Well, yes, there is, and I love you Montana, you know how much I love you, but still our son, he could be – "

"How about Finn?" Lindsay suddenly said.

"Finn?" Danny's blue eyes were confused for a moment, and then they cleared, and his face broke out into a beautiful smile. "Finn. Like the bar where I first told you I love you? That Finn?"

"That Finn," Lindsay said, her eyes locked on his, her smile bright. Danny grinned back at her, their eyes wide with understanding and happiness. It was perfect, it fit, it absolutely, wonderfully, perfectly fit.

"Finn Messer" Danny said, looking down at his newborn son. "Welcome to the world" Drawing a deep, slightly shuddery breath, he looked up at Lindsay. "I love you Montana. I love you so much, and I'm so proud of you." And he kissed her, long and gentle, breaking away only to place an infinitely careful kiss on his son's forehead.

Coming back to the real world, Danny was only slightly surprised to see other people were in the room with them. Smiling over at his friends and family, Danny gently took Finn from Lindsay's arms, turning to face them.

"Guys, let me present to you Finn – " Danny suddenly stopped, staring at them, before turning back to Lindsay, looking down at Finn and whispering something to his wife. With a smile, Lindsay nodded, her smile growing as she absorbed what Danny had proposed.

"Guys, let me present Finn Donald Nicholas Messer"

The End.
