CHAPTER TEN

As Linda enters Danny's room she smiles as she hears Danny say, "Hey Babe," but the smile doesn't last long as she saw how much pain her husband was in to say the two words, but it was still music to her ears hearing him speak.

"Hey yourself" Linda smiled as she kissed Danny on the forehead, still unable to kiss him on the lips. "Doc says I can come home once he has seen me on his rounds today, so should be back home in time for the boys getting home from school."

Linda couldn't wait to have Danny back home. She had missed him so much and so had the boys. But she still couldn't get rid of the guilt she felt as to why Danny was in hospital. Danny knew Linda was giving herself a hard time just by looking at her.

"Hey babe, before we go home lets get one thing cleared up. None of this is your fault ok? I don't want you giving yourself a hard time over this anymore!" Linda nodded but her watery smile told a different story. Danny sighed. "I mean it Linda, its gone ok, when we get out of here I don't want to have to think about this again, ok? I screwed up not you ok? I have learnt my lesson, trying to be the hero nearly cost me my life, so when we leave here, we just move on and leave the last few weeks behind us, when we get out of this place ok?" Linda gave a more assured nod this time as Danny pulled her towards him, holding onto her and just enjoying her embrace. He longed to be able to kiss her again but for now just holding her was what he needed more than anything.

Doctor Shannon came to see Danny just before lunch and gave him the news he had been longing for. "Well Danny, you can go home as soon as I sort out your medication. You need to take the pain relief as and when you need it, the pain will ease as the days pass." Danny stood up and shook the Doctors hand. "Thanks Doc and thanks for taking so much care of my family while I was out of it, that was much appreciated." Doctor Shannon smiles. "Only doing what I would hope a Doctor would have done if it was my Ma that had been waiting for news on my old man…"

Danny couldn't wait to get out of the hospital and had his bag ready before Doctor Shannon had made the lift. Linda linking arms with him and leading him to her car.

As they made their way through the busy afternoon traffic Danny told Linda he needed to make a stop and she pulled into a side street. "I won't be long, just need to pick something up, I will be back in five minutes," Danny told a puzzled Linda, but before she could ask where Danny was going, he was out of the car and down the street.

Danny was sitting on the sofa when the boys came home from school. Sean running through the door first, so excited to have his Daddy back home at last. Jack came into the house after Sean and gave his Dad a hug but Danny couldn't help notice how quiet Jack was. After about ten minutes of enjoying his father's company Jack asked if he could go to his room as he needed to do his homework, Linda was taken aback at Jack wanting to leave his dad so soon but Danny winked at her to let him go.

While Sean was busy helping Linda set the table for the first family dinner in over a week, Danny headed upstairs to Jacks room. "Hey buddy," Danny smiled as he walked into Jacks room. "What's up pal?" Danny enquired as he sits on the end of Jacks bed. Jack was lying on his bed staring at the ceiling, no books or homework in sight. As Danny rubbed Jacks arm he noticed Jacks eyes were red. "Hey Jack, have you been crying?" "No…" Jack says trying to shake his head to avoid making eye contact with Danny. Sensing what was bothering Jack, Danny took hold of his son's hand. "You know if something is on your mind you can always talk to me about it Jack. You know that don't you?" Danny asked in a soft whisper. Not able to keep his emotions in cheek any longer, Jack's shoulders started to shake. "This is all my fault Daddy, you getting hurt. I know you weren't on a secret mission. I heard Uncle Jamie talking to Grandpa on the phone. If I hadn't pretended to be late from school that day you would never have meet that Hudson man and you wouldn't have got hurt. I'm so sorry Daddy."

Danny holds Jack to him and hugs him tight. He knew Jack had overheard Jamie, his father had told him on his last visit. "Son it was a silly thing you did about the phone but this has nothing to do with you. I got hurt because that man was bad and sometimes in my job I have to deal with bad men. He hurt his wife, that wasn't your fault son, none of this is your fault ok?"

Jack nodded his head as Danny wiped his son's eyes before he stepped out of the room and returning with a box. "Here I thought you might like this Champ.." Danny smiled as he handed Jack the box. Jacks face was a picture as he opened the box and found inside his very own cell phone.

Danny laughed as Jack hugged him. "Oh Dad you are the best!" "All our numbers are programmed in so if you are out with your friends and you need anything, you can just give us a call ok?" Danny tells Jack. "Ring your mom and ask her what time dinner will be ready," Danny tells him as they both start laughing.

They sneak downstairs as they hear Linda's cell ringing "Hello?" she answered to the unknown number. "Hi Mom, what time is dinner ready?" Linda tuned to see Jack and Danny standing behind her. "So that's what you needed to pick up today," Linda said linking Danny's arm.

He nodded to the sad look on Sean's face as he looked at his big brother with his new cell phone and he winked at Linda. "Hey Seano, catch…" he said tossing a bag to Sean who ripped it open with haste to find the latest video game inside. "Wow Daddy, thanks" Sean said, hugging his Daddy tight. As Linda went to finish dinner Danny pulled a box from his jacket pocket and left it on the worktop in the kitchen. As Linda reached over for a dish she sees it and smiles. "What's this, presents for everyone hey?" As she opens it she laughs at the brand new cell phone inside. Danny pulled her to him "Thought it was about time you had a phone that didn't die after one call!" Linda laughed as they both look into the lounge and see Sean already using his computer game and Jack trying to work out how to send Nicky a text message.

"Welcome home babe," Linda said as she hugged Danny to her, just glad that her husband was back safe with his loving family.

As Danny looks up he sees a date marked on the calendar that hung behind the kitchen door, it was circled for the following Saturday. Linda's mother was coming for dinner. "Oh you are kidding me?" Danny grins. "Do you think Doctor Shannon might readmit me for the day?" Linda frowned at Danny, but she knew he was only teasing her. She offered him a pre dinner glass of wine and toasts, "To new beginning!" Danny looked at the floor for a few moments, the events of the last few days flashing before him, before softly saying "Yeah babe, to new beginning."
