Who: Danny and Mary
Where: Mary's Office at the casino
What: Talking, after Sam left
When: Shortly after they arrived
Warnings: Might be some cussing. Nothing major, or I'll revise.


The door clicked shut, Sam was gone, leaving Danny and Mary alone in the oversized office. The fact it was roomier, more modern, and definitely more plush than any office at the Montecito did not escape Danny's notice. Neither did the ring on Mary's left hand, or the matching band on his own. He hadn't noticed it there, before, but he'd been so wrapped up in trying to figure out what had happened, he hadn't taken the time to notice.

He wasn't sure what to make of it, and tried to keep his eyes averted from either hand. "So. That was easy," he muttered, looking to the door, referring to hiring Sam. He knew Mary had concerns about Sam's recklessness, her go-get-'em attitude, that often got her in trouble. She was, technically, their responsibility now. It was kind of scary, Danny mentally agreed, but would never say as much, out loud.

Mary leaned back, letting out a breath as her stomach shifted again. She glanced over at Danny and nodded. "Yes, hiring her was the easy part. Making sure we keep her corraled when necessary isn't going to be so easy," she said.

She swiveled her chair to face him more. "We should see who else is on our staff so we can figure out a good strategy to make sure the operation runs smoothly."

"Good idea." Danny wondered if he could slide the ring off his finger into a pocket without Mary noticing. Probably not. He perched on the edge of her desk, feigning complete interest in the paperwork.

"I have them from time to time," she murmured, her eyes avoiding him. A much snarkier comment surfaced in her mind but she was able to squelch it before it came out. Despite working past some of the hurt she'd felt after finding out he had taken up with Delinda again... and finding out Delinda was pregnant... she still felt a lot of the residual hurt and it took a lot for her to not lash out.

She sighed a moment. "We should probably find Del--." She stopped mid-sentence when she finally noticed the engagement ring and wedding band on her left hand. Her mouth gaped as she lifted her hand. If anyone saw her, they would have thought she expected her hand to take on a life of its own and attack her.

Danny shook his head. "It doesn't make sense," he murmured. The rings matched, even he could see that. He first fisted his hand, trying to hide the ring, then flexed his fingers, and held his hand up next to hers.

With his luck, she'd think he set the whole thing up, slipped the rings on her finger when she was sleeping. He tilted his head at her, thinking she might have done just that...but why? She knew he was expecting a child with Delinda, and even if it should have been her, things hadn't worked out between them, after he'd come back from the war.

"That is an understatement," she said, panic tinging her tone. This was too much. What kind of joke was he playing. She rose sharply to her feet, livid.

"WHY would you do something like this?! Is this your idea of a sick joke, Danny McCoy?" She wavered, suddenly lightheaded as she grabbed the edge of her desk. How could Danny, her best friend since childhood, do this to her? Why such a cruel joke when she was trying everyday to ignore her breaking heart when she saw him with Delinda? To know that he was having a baby with Delinda and not with her.

"Me?" Danny glared back at her. "Why would I..." whoa. he didn't like that look, and he surged forward, to catch her if she fell. "Hey, whoa. Are you all right? What just happened?"

"Well *I* certainly didn't do this," she said weakly, her head spinning some. "It's been hard enough knowing that..."

She let out a breath and moved to her seat, sitting down to rest her head in her hands.

"What? What's wrong, Mary?" His concern for her dated back to childhood, it wasn't something he could turn off and on, and it preceded everything else.

"I feel nauseous," she said. "And lightheaded. Don't know why." She reached up and rubbed at her her forehead. She could feel a headache forming from feeling lightheaded.

"Maybe you need food. I'm sure we have a restaurant. Room service, something." Danny lurched for the phone. "I'll call in an order."

"Yeah... yeah," Mary said, rubbing at her forehead still. "Food... yeah." She wasn't sure if she'd be able to keep anything down. This was all too much.

He ordered a sandwich and orange juice, and hung up with a sigh. "It'll be ten minutes. Maybe you have something stashed in the desk? Chocolate or something?"

She paled at the thought of chocolate. Actually paled! Chocolate was one of her favorite things and the thought of it made her queasy.

"No chocolate," she got out.

"Chocolate is good for low sugar, Mary," Danny replied, opening a desk drawer to browse the contents for something, anything.

"I don't think it's low blood sugar. I don't get nauseous, normally, at the thought of chocolate," she said. She looked over. "You should know that."

"Stranger things have happened, Mary." Danny crouched in front of her, looking up to her face, worry etched in his expression. "Something isn't right, and I don't know what else to do."

She looked at him, offering a wan smile. "You'd think I was pregnant instead of Delinda or something," she said, laughing sadly. She frowned before looking at her hand where the ring lay before her eyes widened and she looked at Danny.

"But that's..." he shook his head. ""That's crazy, Mary. We're wearing matching wedding bands, and...it's just crazy."

"This is insane," she said softly. "I'm not Delinda. I'm not..." She shook her head, lowering it as tears formed. Damn him for still being able to break her heart.

"No, you're not Delinda. You're the one I was always meant to be with, Mary. So if that's what this is," he gestured at his ring, then her general belly region, "then I'll take it. Cause I screwed up, bad, and I lost you and I never should have let you go. We knew we were meant to be together when we were ten years old, and I let it slip away."

Mary's jaw dropped in disbelief. "Wh-- what?"

Danny gave her a look. "Running away like I did, joining the Marines. I should have trusted you to get me through. And when they called me back and everything that happened over there and I pushed too hard, because I was so afraid of losing you, and that's exactly what I did."

"Despite breaking up, I was always there, Danny," Mary said, tears forming. "I was supposed to be just the best friend. Hell not even that! You couldn't even bring yourself to tell me yourself that you shacked up with Delinda again!"

"I know." Danny nodded. "I can't explain it. I just...I wasn't fair, to you. And I'm sorry."
