Hopelessly Devoted To You

Season Two

Critical Condition- 2x3

Linda can't tell if her tears are angry tears or happy tears or sad. She's furious at him for doing something so stupid, so thankful that he's alive, and upset that he'd even think about doing something that stupid.

Danny's voice and words of love and devotion are calming in her ear. Even if she wants to be mad at him for longer, she can't. Not with that low, soothing voice in her ear.

"Don't you dare do anything like that ever again," she warns, her thumbs still rubbing his arm.

He shakes his head, and kisses her cheek. "Never."

A Night On The Town- 2x5

Danny turns back to the bed where his lovely wife is waiting.

She's now propped on her elbows, "who was it?"

"Something for my case."

"Oh. I suppose you have to run off and solve it now, huh?" She tries to hide the disappointment in her voice.

"Not run, but I do gotta go before the perp leaves," he slips into some pants.

"Typical," Linda mumbles.

"Hey," Danny climbs onto the bed, crawling over to her. "I'll be back quick as I can." He kisses her lips quickly and dresses.

"Danny?" She pulls him by the tie, giving him a searing kiss. "Hurry back."

The Job- 2x12

Linda stares at the ceiling that night, unable to go to sleep. She wants to scream and cry all at once. She lets out a staggering breath, trying to get her heart rate back to normal. She never wants to see the amount of fear in her babies eyes ever again. She wonders if they'll be able to sleep, or if they'll suffer the same fate she's suffering.

Linda rolls to her side, facing her husband. He's seemingly sleeping soundly, which is typical. "How can it not bug you?" She whispers.

"It is," Danny pulls her into a hug. "It is."

The Life We Chose- 2x15

"You need to take it easy."

Danny rolls his eyes, "I'm fine, Linda."

"I know. You're fine, which is why you're not sleeping at night, drinking almost like a fish, and spending all your free time at the precinct. We hardly ever see you anymore."

"A guy shot a cop," Danny nearly snapped. "I don't need to tell you it's important."

Linda sighs, not wanting to yell. "You're doing mental and emotional damage, Danny! People think those things aren't big deals, but they are big deals! You're going to run yourself to the ground!"

"I told you I'm fine. I gotta go." He hangs up the phone.
