A/N: I'm stuck on all my other stories, if anyone has any ideas let me know, lol.
Chapter One
"Flack, that you?" Danny questioned, his voice dry and scratchy as he opened his eyes to a blurry world.
"Danny?" Flack shrieked in surprise as he looked up from his magazine. "Thank God you're alright man."
"What happened?" Danny asked, squinting in an effort to find his glasses.
"Hold on, I gotta get the doc and call Lindsay, she's be worried sick, she's-." Flack said but was cut off by Danny.
"Who's Lindsay?" Danny questioned, moving his eyes to Flack.
"What?" Flack asked shocked as he stood from his chair.
"Lindsay, who's that?" Danny repeated, growing frustrated with his friend.
"Your-." Flack said but was cut off again when Stella walked into the room and shrieked.
"O My God Danny." She cried as she wrapped her arms around him. "How are you? Do you need anything?"
"Water would be good, thanks Stel." Danny said as his eyes went back to where Flack was, but found that he had left. "Where'd he go?"
"Probably to get the doctor and call everyone." Stella explained as she watched Danny gulp the water down.
"Mr. Messer?" the doctor questioned as he walked into Danny's room, looking over his chart. "I glad to see you're awake."
"Awake?" Danny questioned confused looking back and forth between his friends.
"You've been in a coma for a good two months." The doctor explained as he stood by Danny's bed. "What's the last thing you remember?"
"Aiden just got fired." Danny said and Stella gasped and her hand went to her mouth in disbelief as she looked over at Flack, who was equally as shocked. "What is that not right?"
"Do you know what year is it?" the doctor questioned, remaining calm as he shot looks to both Stella and Flack.
"2005." Danny answered as a nurse came in and checked his vitals.
"Oh God." Stella whispered.
"What? What's wrong?" Danny questioned anxiously.
"Mr. Messer it's 2012." The doctor explained as he looked over Danny's chart one more time.
"No, that can't be right." Danny said, shaking his head in the negative.
"I'm sorry." The doctor said. "I'll order a CAT scan, check things out, for now, rest." The doctor said and motioned for Stella and Flack to follow him out in the hallway.
"Is it permanent?" Flack questioned as soon as the door shut.
"I don't know, it could be." He said gently.
"He has a wife and kid, and they weren't around in '05." Flack said aggravated. "What about them?"
"I don't know, we'll run tests, see what we can do to help, if we can do anything. I'm sorry." The doctor said as his pager went off. "Excuse me."
"Flack?" Lindsay questioned as she turned the corner.
"Lindsay, hey." Flack said sadly as he looked over at Stella.
"What's wrong? I thought you said Danny was awake." She said as she stood in front of him and Stella.
"He is, he's awake." Flack said as he continued to just look at her.
"Than what?" Lindsay asked becoming impatient with Flack.
"He thinks it's 2005." Stella answered softly. "He thinks Aiden just got fired."
"He doesn't remember me." Lindsay said as she looked back towards Danny's hospital room, and saw him watching them curiously. "He doesn't remember?"
"No, not yet. He still could." Stella said trying to reassure Lindsay. "It might not be permanent."
"What do I do?" Lindsay asked as her voice cracked and she idly played with her wedding ring.
"Maybe if he saw you, it'd spark something?" Flack offered and Stella nodded in agreement.
"He needs his glasses, they took his contacts out after the accident." Lindsay said as she glanced back at Danny's room. "I'll bring them back later."
"Good." Flack said as they fell into silence just looking at each other.
"I have to pick Avery up." Lindsay said as she looked at the time on her phone.
"Okay," Stella said as she watched Lindsay turn to walk away, but turned back to them.
"What do I tell him? That his daddy doesn't know who he is anymore?" Lindsay questioned as a tear rolled down her cheek. "He worships Danny."
"Tell him daddy's still sleeping." Flack said as he pulled her into a hug. "Until we figure things out."
"Okay." Lindsay said and disappeared around the corner.
"Hey." Flack said as he and Stella entered Danny's room.
"Who was that?" Danny questioned, nodding his head towards the door.
"It was-." Flack was cut off again.
"Hey." Danny said as he licked his lips at the petite blonde nurse that entered the room to take his vitals again.
"Mr. Messer." She said with a smile as she wrote down his information.
"Danny." Danny said with a smirk.
"Lucy." She said and left them room, winking at him.
"Any way, what did the doctor say?" Danny asked, his previous question forgotten.
"I can't do this." Flack said as he shook his head and walked out of the room, leaving Danny confused.
"What's his problem?" Danny asked Stella, who took a seat next to his bed.
"Danny, you're missing seven years of your life." Stella explained as she wiped away a tear.
"No, that was a joke. Come'on Stel." Danny laughed.
"Danny, it's March 21, 2012." Stella said as she took a deep breath. "You were hit by a drunk driver January 1, 2012, on your way home."
"No, I wasn't. Aiden just got fired, we were gonna grab a beer or something." Danny said aggravated.
"Danny, don't get mad at me. We don't know if it's permanent or anything. You'll remember." Stella said as she watched him turn his head away from her and look out the window.
"Where are my glasses?" Danny asked curiously.
"They took your contacts out, so Lindsay's gonna bring them by." Stella said and winced as his head quickly turned to look at her.
"Who's Lindsay?" Danny asked curiously. "I don't wear contacts."
"You did, you've worn them for at least four years." Stella said avoiding the subject of Lindsay.
"Why?" Danny asked curiously.
"I don't know you came in one day with them, and that was that." Stella laughed as the door opened and Mac, Hawkes, Sid, and Adam walked in.
"Who are you?" Danny questioned as he looked at Adam curiously.
"Adam." He said confused, looking at Stella curiously.
"And?" Danny questioned meanly.
"What's going on?" Hawkes asked.
"Everyone's trying to tell me it's 2012." Danny grunted.
"But it's not?" Sid questioned.
"NO! it's not, it's fuckin' 2005." Danny yelled as he slammed his hands against the bed.
"Danny, calm down." Mac said.
Lindsay got out of the car and leaned against it, and took a deep breath. She had to remain composed, other wise Avery would know something was wrong, and would not let up, until he found out what it was.
"Hey baby." Lindsay said as she entered the preschool and saw Avery putting his jacket on.
"Hi Mommy." He smiled as he stood next to Lindsay and watched her sign him out. "Look what I made for Daddy." He beamed as he helped up the colored piece of paper for Lindsay to see.
"That's great, sweetie." Lindsay said as she smiled at one of the teachers and took her son's hand as she led him out of the school.
"You think he'll like it?" Avery questioned as his blue eyes looked up at his mother.
"I think he'll love it." Lindsay said as she scooped Avery into her arms and kissed his cheek.
"Can we go see Daddy today?" Avery questioned as his mother opened the door and put him into his booster seat.
"Not today." Lindsay said softly as she brushed her son's blonde hair back and kissed his forehead.
"Tomorrow?" he asked once his mother sat down in the driver's seat.
"You have your field trip tomorrow to the zoo." Lindsay smiled.
"Oh yeah!" Avery said excitedly. "We're gonna see the tigers, Miss Jackie pwomised."
"Wow." Lindsay said as she smiled at her son through the rear-view mirror.
"What's Daddy's favorite animal?" Avery questioned already knowing the answer.
"Tigers." Lindsay said, knowing her Avery's real favorite animal was a giraffe, but said tigers to be like Danny.
"I think I'll draw him a picture of a tiger." Avery said as Lindsay parked the car and got out.
"I think he'll like that." Lindsay said as she took him out of his booster seat and placed him on the ground.
