Conquences: The Trial

"Your horns are showing Stella. You know how I like it when you talk in Greek" he said, still wearing that smirk on his face. "Does Mac like it when you talk in Greek?"

OK...Danny decided he better back off before Stella whacked him good.

Danny slowly back away and put a couple steps in between them. "Look Stella, I won't say anything about us or Mac if you don't say anything about the hooker. Nothing was gonna happen between us and I wouldn't cheat on Lindsay. I may be a lot of things, but I'm not a cheater" You gotta believe that."
 
She thought he better be glad he backed away after his earlier comment or she would've whacked him a good one.

Stella sighed, "I know your not Danny" she fiddled around with her shirt, "Do you think we should tell them about what happened?" She looked up at him, she wondered if they should tell them about what happened with them, "Would they even understand?"
 
Danny put his hands back in his pockets and shrugged his shoulders, "I dunno. They weren't even in the picture when it happened. It was a one time thing and it's not gonna happen again."

He took his hands out of his pockets and rubbed them together, fidgeting as usual. "Nobody knows but us. What's the point in telling them?" He looked around, surprised that Lindsay and Mac hadn't come looking for them and wondering when the trial was gonna start.

He looked at Stella with one last question. "Do you think we should tell them? Another thing, Mac probably knows why you dragged me out here. What am I supposed to tell Lindsay?"
 
Stella looked down and then back at him, "But what if by some weird way or they overhear us talking about it one day, what are we going to do then?"

She was just getting a relationship started with Mac, she didn't know how he would handle this secret, and she didn't know how he would handle if he found out later in the future either. She was confused.

She looked at him at his question, and shrugged her shoulders, "Umm, I wanted to know about a case?" She couldn't believe she was being nice and help covering for him, but he's Danny. If anyone bitch, moaned, yelled at him, whacked, hit him, it was going to be her damnit! Wait, did she just think moan, god, she hoped she didn't mean that in a sexual tense.
 
"Whoa, slow down Stella. We've only talked about it a couple times and nobody was around." Danny was beginning to wonder if they should keep quiet about it or come clean. "What's the chances they'd find out?"

"Nobody knows about it. I didn't tell anybody, not even Flack." He looked at Stella hoping he worded this right "Did you tell anybody?" Why is Stella's face turning red? "Um Stella, you're blushing. What are you thinking about?" he asked with a smirk on his face.
 
"Yeah, right behind you" Warrick replied, following Cath. "I hope we're not late. Guess we should have asked for directions..."he sighed.

Back in the courtroom, Mac was trying to recall if he'd ever mentioned Peyton to Stella, and how she'd react if she ever found out he'd seen Peyton. The good thing was, that was all over now, they were just friends. He looked over his shoulder at the door, wondering what was taking so long.
 
Stella didn't even feel herself blush and she looked at him, trying to act innocent, "I have no clue what your talking about Danny"

She sighed, "I haven't told anyone either" she looked at him, Should they tell anyone what happened between them, she can remember the night as plan as day, but she didn't want Danny to know that, and she didn't really think she wanted Mac to know she remembered it as plan as day.

Catherine sighed, "If we're late, I'm going to kill you!" She called Nick's cell phone, "I'm calling Nick, maybe he can help us"
 
"You know what I'm talking about Stella. I saw you blush. You were remembering something." he smiled recalling that night. It was a night he'd never forget but that was in the past now.

Danny had a somewhat worried look on his face. "What if we tell them and they can't handle it and decide we're not worth the trouble? Do you think the'd dump us?" With Lindsay pregnant, he never knew what kind of mood she'd be in. "Now Mac, I have an advantage over him since he doesn't know I know about you two."

Danny kept looking at the door. He was sure Mac and Lindsay would come looking for them if they didn't get back in there.
 
Stella followed Danny's gaze to the door, wondering if Mac was going to come out there.

She looked at him, "I did not blush and you can't prove it" she walked up close to him and sighed, and ran her hand through her hair, "Say we tell them and things go bad, but we're not to blame, Danny, what happened between us happened before you even got with Lindsay, We were both hurting and it happened, Danny, I can't forget that night, I don't know if you can or not, but I can't"
 
"I know, I know...and you know how to hide the body so it'll never be found" Warrick retorted.

"Stokes" Nick said when his phone rang. He saw it was Cath's number on the ID. "You're on the verge of being late, where're you at?"

Warrick, meanwhile, heard his phone ring too. "Brown. Oh hi Tina...yeah...oh that's great...Yeah I'm happy too...I don't know what will happen with us, but I want to find out even if it's not easy...I'm not sure when I'll be back yet, you know how these things can take. All right, I'll call you later."

He looked downcast and ecstatic at the same time if that was possible. "This is going to make things interesting. Apparently something went right the last time Tina and I were together because she's pregnant. I'm excited about being a dad but this is gonna make things different, that's for sure."

(there's your out Lynn, I got inspired by that fic on LJ lol. CatNip here we come *g*)
 
Catherine smiled when Nick answered the phone, "Stokes, save me please, by the way, what are you wearing?"

She turned around after what Warrick said, him and Tina are having a baby, what the hell?, She faced him, still on the phone with Nick, "Guess what Nicky, Rick's going to be a dad"
 
Danny looked Stella straight in the eyes, a serious expression on his face. "No Stella, I'll never forget that night either and I don't regret it." Danny took off his glasses and rubbed his eyes.

"You're right. We didn't do anything wrong and it did happen before Lindsay and I ever went out. But Stel, we work together all the time", he told her as he put his glasses back on, "what if she can't handle that? What if she thinks it will happen again or is still happening?"
 
Stella shrugged, "Who knows if Mac will even let *us* work together again" she sighed and walked around Danny, and licked her lips, "What if she tells you, you can't be friends with me?"

Stella was glad to hear he didn't regret it though, cause she didn't either, "I'm glad you don't regret it, Danny"
 
"I'll try" Nick replied. "Oooh why do you want to know?" Nick kidded, then replied like she'd asked. He gave her directions, hoping they'd be there soon. When she talked about Warrick, he replied "Tell him congrats."

Warrick, meanwhile, was agonizing over his future. He still had feelings for Cath but wasn't going to be a screw up father either, though he wasn't sure what would happen now with Tina.
 
Catherine smirked, "Come on Nicky, tell me", she looked at Warrick, a little pissed but then again, she wasn't, "Nicky said Congrats, and gave us directions, Lets go" she said as she turned around and started walking outside the building, "So Nicky, how's it going over there so far?"
