Re-posted chapter, not a new one sorry guys I was trying to edit it and accidently deleted it so here is chapter two again, a few changes but nothing to the story line but still worth reading the edit.
A/N: Hey guys! Thanks for the response to Chapter One, here's the next little piece, again not a lot going on but building the relationship and feeling for following chapters. Enjoy and I look forward to hearing your responses. Please note in know way am I trying to make Lindsay appear weak, it's simply a means of describing the relationship between herself and Danny.
Disclaimer: I do not own the characters of the lyrics they belong to CBS and Peter Gabrielle; I do however enjoy borrowing them.

You Make It Real//Chapter Two:: "Ah please talk to me, Wont you please talk to me, We can unlock this misery. Come on, come talk to me."
Stretching out as her mind and body woke up from a much needed sleep it didn't take Lindsay long to realize that she was no longer cuddled up against her husband on their warn brown couch but now cuddled up against his side in their soft comfortable queen sized bed. She knew she much have fallen asleep on the couch and Danny must have carried her into their bedroom. Eyes still closed tight she smirked as realized Danny had managed to change her out of her work clothes and into one of his t-shirt, that she had long ago claimed her own, without waking her something he had both tried and failed at back when she was still pregnant.
Without opening her eyes Lindsay could tell her husband was awake, she could feel his gaze staring down at her and knew he could tell she was awake. Not wanting to open her eyes, not wanting to face the reality that would strike her when she did Lindsay cuddled even closer to Danny's body so that half of her body was on top of his. Tightly squeezing him she whispered against his bare chest.
"Tell me it was a dream, tell me yesterday didn't happen."
It took Danny a few seconds to work out what his wife had whispered but the minute he did he felt the tears stinging his own eyes. Pulling Lindsay completely on top of him he squeezed her tightly staring at her with such intensity she felt forced to open her eyes and look back at him. Cupping her face with both of his hands he pulled her in so that their noses touched, he bit his lip in hesitation before feeling a tear drop from her eye to his cheek. Sucking in a deep breath, he stroked her face.
"I wish I could baby" he paused, his voice lowering revealing his own pain, "I wish I could."
Lindsay sniffled as Danny brushed his thumbs over her cheeks and continued to stare directly into her eyes. Unable to take Danny's intense gaze Lindsay dropped her head and buried it into the crook of his neck her tears hitting his bare skin. Feeling helpless Danny attempted to run his hands over Lindsay's back as a method of soothing her yet her soft whimper continued.
After lying in silence for a period of time neither Danny or Lindsay could comprehend, Lindsay suddenly moved off of Danny's body and move into an upright position where she looked at Danny her face full of concern. Danny slid his body up against the headboard and looked questioningly at his wife.
'Linds."
Lindsay completely ignored Danny and she jumped up from the bed and moved towards the door muttering something under her breath, realizing what it was that had his wife so startled Danny jumped up and moved quickly over to his wife blocking her from exiting their bedroom. Lindsay released a frustrated sigh.
"Danny what are you doing, I haven't checked on Lucy since we got home last night, I didn't hear her at all last night, it's already morning she must be starving…Danny let me through."
Danny smiled and Lindsay scowled upon seeing her husband's expression. Suddenly realization dawned upon Lindsay and her cheeks flushed red.
"You've been up with her already, haven't you?" Danny smiled wider and nodded at his wife, "You've been up with her every time she woke up and got to her before she would wake me up?" Danny continued to nod, "You spent the night looking after her and making sure I got a good sleep?" Danny remained silent but again nodded and wrapped his arms around his wife's waist.
Letting her body collapse against Danny's body she sighed.
"I'm sorry, I should have known you would have taken care of Lucy", she paused "I'm hopeless, I didn't even think…I'm sorry you had to do all the feeds last night too, how many times did she get up, did we have enough milk stored, you didn't have to give her formula did you?"
Watching his wife ramble Danny let out a chuckle.
"Linds breath baby. Firstly there was plenty of milk stored in the fridge so no I didn't have to give Luce formula, secondly she woke up a little after you dozed off and then again a few hours ago…actually she should be up again soon and ready for some quality time with her Ma." Lindsay smiled. "Oh and Linds you're not hopeless, yesterday was tough…on all of us. You were exhausted, you're allowed to be exhausted, you don't need to feel guilty."
Lindsay leaned into her husband and placed a chaste kiss on his lips.
"I love you."
Danny smiled.
'I love you too babe," and finally Danny allowed himself to say the words that had been running through his head since he received the call about Angell, "I don't know what I would have done Linds…if it was you, I don't know what I would have done." Lindsay silenced her husband with another chaste kiss and was about to speak when a soft whimper came across the baby monitor.
