who is the big spoon/little spoon
The speaker of the baby monitor crackled as the sound of crying roused him from his sleep, and his first half-asleep reaction was to wrinkle his nose and bat her hair away from his face.
“It’s your turn,” she mumbled.
“C’mon, Linds,” he murmured, burying his nose in the back of her neck. “Please?”
She twisted her torso back to half look at him. “Not happening,” she told him.
Three months, and he had never been able to get her to take his turn.
what is their favorite non-sexual activity
“Babe, we’re going to the park, not the white house,” Danny told her, as she strapped baby Lucy’s shoes on her small feet.
“That doesn’t mean she can’t look cute,” Lindsay said, kissing her daughter’s cheek with a smile before turning to look at her husband, who was folding out the stroller.
“And babe?” she asked. “This time, refrain from telling stories about the various dead bodies you’ve investigated there.”
who uses all the hot water in the morning
“Lindsay,” he complained. “C’mon, babe, I’m gonna be late. Mac’s gonna kill me.”
The door cracked open a short moment later and his wet, naked, very annoyed wife stood in front of him. “And I’m gonna kill you if you don’t let me finish my shower.”
Then, she closed the door in his face.
what they order from take out
“I need one order of orange chicken, an order of beef and broccoli, two orders of fried rice, and five eggrolls. Linds, you want anything?”
She simply sighed and shook her head.
what is the most trivial thing they fight over
She notices that he’s sulking over dinner. “Danny?” she asks. “What’s wrong?”
“Ah, it’s nothin’,” he says.
She raises an eyebrow. “Danny.”
“You’ll think it’s stupid.”
She leans her head to the side and gives him a look that could only say ‘are you serious?’
“Just tell me.”
It takes him a moment, but he finally grumbles. “I wanted to cuff him.”
“Really? You’re upset because you didn’t get to put handcuffs on a serial killer?”
“See? You think it’s stupid!”
“Yes, I do.”
who does most of the cleaning
He comes home from work, tired, sore, and wanting to fall into bed and sleep for a year. When he walks into the apartment, he’s shocked to find it nearly sparkling.
“What happened in here?”
Lindsay enters the room from the bedroom. “Why was the television remote behind the washing machine?” she asks, the offending remote control resting her hand.
what has a season pass in their DVR
“I’ve seen this episode!” Danny complains.
“Shhhh,” Lindsay waved him off, with tears in her eyes, as the “Extreme Makeover: Home Edition” logo flashed across the screen.
who controls the netflix queue
“How many DVDs of Say Yes To The Dress can there be?” Danny complains, as he twists the adjuster on the microscope. “It’s all that we’ve gotten in the mail for the past month.”
“What can I say, man?” Hawkes laughs. “You’re whipped.”
“Says the single man.”
who calls up the super/landlord when the heat’s not working
“He looks scared of you,” Danny jokes, as he closes the door behind the superintendent as he leaves.
“Well… I may have flashed him my badge and told him that the building basement wasn’t up to city regulations and that if he didn’t fix the heater right now, I would have him arrested.”
“I’ve been down there, it’s fi-” Then, he realizes.
“God, I love you.”
who steals the blankets
The first time they sleep together is perfect. Maybe there aren’t candles and romantic music playing in the background like the movies tell you that you need, but it’s perfect.
He wakes up in the middle of the night, and it takes his sleepy brain a moment to register why Lindsay Monroe is lying next to him, and another moment to realize why he’s freezing.
He throws his arm around her, curls up next to her and falls back asleep.
who leaves their stuff around
Lindsay has the bladder of a snail, so Danny stops being surprised when she wakes up and crawls out of bed in the middle of the night. In fact, it’s gotten to the point where he doesn’t even wake up when she gets up.
That is, until she actually shakes him awake.
“Wha?”
“If I step on your underwear in the middle of the night one more time, I will throw you out of the house.”
who remembers to buy the milk
He gets the day off for the first time in two weeks, so Lindsay takes Lucy to work with her and lets him sleep in. Except he winds up sleeping in until three in the afternoon.
When he wakes up, he rolls out of bed and goes into the kitchen. He opens up the refrigerator and grabs the full carton of milk. There’s a sticky note attached to it with two words, written in Lindsay’s handwriting.
You’re welcome.
who remembers anniversaries
He forgot her birthday once. He won’t do it again. He has a datebook full of everything important. Everything from their first date to her parents’ birthdays. Hawkes and Adam would laugh at him until the day he died if they ever found out. They’d call him whipped.
But the smile that she gets whenever he remembers something without being told makes it all worth it.
