Emilia's POV

As shocking as it was, Danny was indeed awake .A nurse was checking his vitals as we entered the room. He looked pale and tired, but very much alive. It was strange to see him like this and think that no less than two hours he was fighting for his life.

I guess my prayers were finally answered.

"Hey, look who's awake!" Don jokes. Danny smiles weakly.

"Danny boy! How are you feeling?" I ask. I know it's a dumb question, but I ask him anyway.

"I've been better." His voice sounded darker than usual and non Danny-like, but the look in his eyes remained the same.

"You look great, though," I say, trying to lighten the mood a little bit.

"I know you're lying, but thank you." He smiles.

"Excuse me." We turn our heads toward a nurse next to us. "There's only one person allowed to stay in this room."

We look at each other, each trying to decide who stays and who leaves. We wanted to all stay together as a group, but the nurse was right. Danny needed time to rest and the last thing he needed was a crowded room with a bunch of people asking him questions.

"I can stay, if you guys don't mind," I say. They nod in unison and walk toward the door. Once we were alone, I sit on the bed next to Danny and look at the wall. I really don't know what to say.

"So, how are you doin?" he finally asks.

"Me? I'm doing pretty good." I was lying obviously, since I actually felt like crap. "You know, considering I almost got shot."

"Lucky it was almost, right?"

"Danny, I don't think saying thank you would be enough. You saved my life."

He smiles and grabs my hand. "I did what every man would do. Save the damsel in distress."

"You got took a bullet for me-"

"And I would do it again," he says. Now I understand why Lindsay loves him so much. He's a true gentleman. "Besides, I made a promise."

"A promise to whom?" I ask confused.

--Flashback--

He put all the required items in his suitcase. Careful not to break anything, of course. Mac would kill him if he did. He received instructions as usual to go and take some samples at a crime scene. The body was already at the morgue, so they'd have the crime scene for them there.

Oh and he forgot Emilia was working with him this time.

A soft knock distracted him from his duties. Don was standing at the door and smiles at his friend.

"What's up, Flack?" Danny asks. Don walks towards him, slowly. He noticed there was something unusual about his friend. "Are you okay?"

"I wanted to ask you for a favor," Don speaks softly, almost ashamed to ask him.

"Sure." Danny pushes his suitcase aside and pays full attention to his friend.

"Would you take care of her?"

Danny frowns for a second. He didn't know who "she" was, but he had a small idea.

"Take care of her?" Danny asks him. He nods, slowly.

"It was a drug dealing issue, you know? The crime scene. I understand she's a detective and she knows how to take care of herself but..." He sighs heavily and looks at his hands, embarrassed. That's when Danny realized who "she" was. "It's still dangerous out there and maybe those guys are still outside watching us."

"Don't worry, she's in good hands."

"Thank you."

--End flashback--

He smiles and shakes his head, slowly. "I'm sorry, but I can't tell you."

"What kind of promise did you make?" I ask, curious.

"A promise that kept you alive."

I seriously don't understand what it means. Since he refused to tell me who and what that promise meant, I stopped asking. We could keep this conversation going forever.

"Hey, I wanted to ask you something." He scratches his head. "You were here the whole time, right?"

"Yeah, I haven't left the hospital since you arrived. Why?"

"I could swear I heard Lindsay's voice."

I froze for a moment. This is what I was afraid of. Danny asking me about Lindsay and not having the heart to tell him everything. He will find out anyway, but I was hoping it wouldn't be the one to tell him.

"You did?" The best way is to pretend nothing happened. That would give me plenty of time to call Stella and ask for help.

"Yeah, she was here. She asked me to wake up." I see his eyes shining. I can tell he's happy just thinking Lindsay could be here. "It was so real, Emilia."

I sigh heavily and smile sweetly at him.

"It was real, Danny." I don't have the heart, I can't lie to him. He at least needs to know Lindsay is here. He needs to know she came back for him.

"What do you mean?"

"Danny, Lindsay is back. She's here in New York."

He blinks.

And blinks some more.

I'm scared I might have spoken too much. He's shocked. I can't even imagine how he's going to react after hearing about the baby.

I'm gonna leave that job to Stella.
