A/N: Here's chapter two. Enjoy and please review.
RebaForever15 - I have read a lot of your stories and it means the world to me that you read, review and actually like the story. As far as M goes, I would never ditch her! She's the best and I love her. Just because she died in Skyfall doesn't mean she's dead for us. Besides Mallory sucks and I would never want to right anything about him... Hope you like the new chapter :)

Chapter Two – Put Your Weapons Down
"Ugh" James woke up in the middle of the night to an unfamiliar sound. In only seconds he was up with a Walther in his hands. Someone was definitely in the house. James stepped inside the hallway to see a small whimpering form on the floor.
"Daddy?" A quiet voice echoed.
He flipped the light switch over to see his daughter crying on the floor.
"Louella." He quickly deposited his gun in his bedroom before rushing to the girl's side.
"I lost, I-I pee. Sowwy Daddy." Louella did in fact have a small pool of liquid on the floor between her feet. She hadn't stepped in it so James lifted her away from it walking her to the bathroom.
"Don't worry. It's okay." He slipped the nightie over her head and took off her panties. He showered her in the bathtub and then lifted her onto the floor, drying her with a towel. He dressed her in clean clothes before tucking her back in again. Louella clung to him tighlty.
"Daddy no go!"
"I have to clean up."
"No go." Her voice was weak and desperate.
He sighed taking her out of bed and proceeded in cleaning up her pee in the hall. Then he rinsed her dirty clothes and hung them up to dry. Louella stood faithfully by his side and still refused to go to bed.
"Louella, you have to sleep." He was getting desperate.
"No, you no go."
"Okay, you can sleep with me." He sighed deeply, "But only tonight. Tomorrow you sleep here."
"Kay."
They both climbed into bed and she fell asleep almost immediatly still holding onto him, moving closer to him until she was completly snuggled up against his side.
This is weird he thought before drifting of to sleep.

The next morning James woke up when he felt the cool air hit his side, due to the lack of heat from his small toddler.
"Daddy you wake?" She spoke softly, poking him in the cheek.
"Yeah."
"I potty." James got up and took her to the bathroom. They finished quickly and moved down stairs for breakfast. Louella munched happily on a bowl of cheerios, James eating toast and coffee. She managed to spill a minimal amount of milk on her night gown.
"Okay Louella, let's see what we have to do today." He had gotten a list of things that were to be included in her daily routine.
-Meals (breakfast, lunch, dinner, two snacks)
-A nap (only occasioanally)
-Bedtime routine (include bath, brushing teeth, change of clothes and a bedtime story)
-Exercise outdoors
-Playing with parent(s) and/or friend(s)
-A moderate dose of television can be used for learning purposes
-Trip to place with peoples (groceriestores, busses) to learn social interaction
What on earth is a 'moderate dose of television' he tought looking at the note.

Thirty minutes later the two entered the park which was a few blocks from the house. It had a small garden like area with benches, a big green grass space with a few large oak trees and a large playground.
Louella had gotten anxious immediately upon enterring the park. She had an absolute death grip on her fathers hand. There were just too many people for her liking. But the playground seemed like heaven to her. She enjoyed parks really, but she had always gone with her mother and her mother was gone. She was terrified her father would do the same.
James noticed her becoming increasingly nervous. There were a lot of children on the playground, most of them in the giant sand box with there mothers chatting at the sidelines.
"Do you want to go there?" He pointed to the crouded sand box, only to earn a declining head shake from her. Next he pointed to the slide, which earned him exactly the same reaction.
Louella really didn't want to go on that giant monstrosity of a slide. She eyed all the instalations finally deciding on the swing. She rose her small hand to point toward it.
Once they reached the swings James lifted her in it, giving her a little boost and maintaining the rather low movement of the swing.
A woman soon came to the spot next to them, placing her own daughter into the swing next to them.
"You're daughter is very cute!" She had a too cheery voice for his liking, "How old is she?"
"Two and a half."
"My mary 28 months now. She is picking up on a lot of words right now. It really helps the children to interact. Does your daughter speak a lot?"
"She speaks when she has something to say." He was hoping the woman would shut up, but instead she started talking about all kinds of development stages, using 'my mary has/is' in every other sentence. James was really starting to be annoyed.
"Daddy out!" Louella wasn't happy with the woman either and wanted to get away, saving her father in the process. James picked heru p and they went to try out the slide. The park had a lot of obnoxious mothers who loved to bother the two of them and after a short while both were ready to go.
He would really have to find a way to avoid these people while managing to go outdoors with his daughter, he wasn't sure how long he would be ble to restrain himself from insulting any of them.

A/N 2: As you may have noticed Louella has a little social anxiety mixed with abandonment issues, but part of it is just the same personality she shares with her father. Please leave a review the mean everything to me! Thanks for reading.
