I don't own anything, only Danny in my dreams!!

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

He rested in his couch for more than 20 minutes just thinking in a way to convince Lindsay that he was ready for more activity than lying on a sofa until he realised that if he felt better, Lindsay would leave his apartment. Then he spend the next 20 minutes trying to choose between sex and Lindsay living with him as many time as possible. When he saw her get in his apartment, carrying the big black bag and some plastic bags full of groceries the decision was made. He wanted that. He wanted Lindsay with him.

"Do you need any help there, Montana?" Danny said getting up.

"I told you to rest!" She said disappointed "I can manage this. Sit down. I'll bring you something to eat"

"Montana, I can't be here watching you do everything. Let me help you!"

"Danny, you can't barely breath. Let me do this, please. I owe it to you"

Danny walked concerned to the kitchen and make her look at him.

"You don't owe me nothing. What happened today wasn't your fault, Montana."

"Yes it was. I was supposed to be there, not you. And because of me you are now hurt!" The tears were beginning to overwhelm her eyes.

"Lindsay, I chose to take your shift, you could even say anything. I'm proud of having done that. If it was been you the one in the warehouse I don't know how I have reacted..." He made a pause "and I'm fine! I have some bruises and 2 broken fingers. That's not big deal! That Irish mob guys are guilty of what happened. It's not your fault. Are you listening to me?" He cupped her hand with her right hand and looked at her directly at her eyes. "It's not your fault, ok?"

"I know but I can't stop feeling guilty."

" I want you to be here to take care of me. I really want it. But I don't want you to do this just because you feel guilty or because you think you owe me something. I want you to do this because you care about me"

"I care about you and I want to do this. I'll try to not think about it, ok?"

"Ok" He hugged her and added "So, what have you bought? I'm starving!"

They had the dinner Lindsay cooked and they spend the evening talking. In one moment Danny asked Lindsay:

"There's something it's been bugging me since the vodka queen case. The night before we had a date and you didn't appear. You told me that something came up. What was that? I know you needed time but after the Holly's case I thought you wanted to be with me..."

"Danny, that afternoon before our date I received an e-mail from my mother telling me that they have arrested the guy that killed my friends and that the accusation lawyer needed me to declare in the trial. All the memmories from that day came to my mind and I couldn't even move from my couch. I guess I was in some kind of shock. Mac's call wake me up some hours later and told me to join you and him in that bar. I didn't even remember the date until I saw you. Then I realised that I couldn't make you pass through all I was going to live. It wouldn't been fair to you, Danny."

Danny was listening her. He grab her hand and when she finished he kissed her.

"Waw Montana. I'm sorry. I didn't want you to make you relive that"

"It's over Danny. It's my past. I'm learning to live with that"

"And you are doing it really good" He kissed her again.

"Hey cowboy, why don't we go to the bed?"

"I thought you said no pool table in a week at least..." Danny said grinning

"Yes. It's been a hard day and we both need to rest. I'm talking about sleeping, Messer"

"Oh, well..." He said quite disappointed " Actually, what do you have to do tomorrow"

"The lab is closed and all our team have 2 days off. So I guess that tomorrow I'll be here with you all day" Lindsay said smiling

"That sounds great"

She helped him stand up and guided him to bedroom. There she began to undress him very slowly. When he was wearing only the wife beater and his boxers. She began to undress herself. When she was only in his underwear she searched in her bag and put his Giants shirt on.

"If you don't mind I'm gonna sleep with that" She said.

"God Montana. If every night you do that I would have to take lots of cold showers before going to sleep."

She just grinned and help him lie on the bed. She then lied at his side. Resting on her side looking at him.

"Good night Danny" She kissed him and said "If you need anything wake me up"

"I just need to have you here with me." He moved in her direction and hugged her.

They both felt asleep a few minutes later. Although the pain he was happy.
