Fallenstar1004- Thanks. This is a short but needed chapter. Some fluff, some serious.

LizfromItaly- I am glad they amuse you. I don't mean to make Don seem jealous, a little maybe. But he's to seem more like giving Danny a hard time in a guy way.

BridgetLynn- This chappie is short but important. And its got some fluff and serious!

Emador- Kylah and Craig are getting there. It's a vital part so I have to get it right. And I knew you'd love the Italian.

Jordayna- Writing that chapter I just saw Mac as sitting there being a good sport and being amused at everyone's antics.

Meadow567- I try to add other stuff in the wrestling chapters so everyone has something to enjoy. Hope you get the tickets.

Dybdahl- He is, isn't he? Well this chappie is short, but needed. Hope you like it.

(8AM)

I walked into the station and sat at my desk and put my head down. I had been sick since last night.

"Aurora……is something wrong?" I heard Flack ask.

"I'm sick. I've puked until I can't puke no more and now have the dry heaves." I sighed and turned my head to look at him. "I even threw up plain water."

"And yet you came into work?" Flack asked.

"You might need me. Danny might need me." I said. "Besides it's just that virus that has been going around."

"Are you sure that's all it is? Is this morning sickness?" Flack smirked.

"Donald, come here so I can kill you. I am too sick to chase you." I said.

"Well you and Danny have been together almost a month now." Flack said.

"Remind me to puke on you later." I groaned.

"Go on home Rora. The NYPD can survive one day without you." Flack said.

"But I might be needed." I protested.

"And they don't give medals for puking above and beyond the call of duty." Flack said. "Go home and rest. If you still don't feel well tomorrow don't come in."

"But I hate being sick." I whined.

"Who enjoys it? Go home. Relax, rest. Watch your Miracle hockey movie with Eddie Demsey and Patrick Cahill and Nate Bah Humbug." Flack said.

"Well you almost had it." I sighed. "You'll call me if you need anything?"

"I promise, if we need you to puke on someone we'll call." Flack said. "Now go home."

"Alright, fine." I mumbled. "Just give me a few minutes to sit here and die first."

"Would you like me to take you home?" Flack asked.

"No, I'll make it. But if I should die….tell Danny I love him. And kiss him for me." I chuckled.

"Go home and get some rest." Flack rolled his eyes.

(9AM)

I managed to get home. I fell onto my couch. I had just closed my eyes when my cell phone rang.

"Denton." I answered.

"Aurora, where are you? Are you okay? Flack told me you were sick." Danny said.

"I am at home, lying on my couch. I just have one of those stomach viruses that have been going around." I said.

"Are you okay?' Danny asked.

"I'll be fine. It'll just have to run its course. Although I am so thirsty, but if I drink anything, it revisits me." I said.

"Mi dispiace te malato." Danny said.

"Now that's a start to feeling better. What did you say?" I asked.

"I am sorry you're sick." Danny said. "Do you need anything?"

"No, I'm just going to stay around my apartment, try to get something in my stomach and relax. I might watch a few movies or something." I said.

"Well if you need anything, you call me. Mac, Flack and I are working a double shooting in the Bronx." Danny said.

"Do you need me?" I asked.

"We need you to get better. Just stay home and get better." Danny said.

"Okay, you be careful and have a good day." I said.

"Migliorare." Danny said. "That means get well."

"Feeling better already." I smiled. "I love you."

"I love you too. I'll call you and check on you later." Danny said and hung up.

I smiled despite feeling so sick. I wondered how I ever managed to find someone like Danny. I stood up and went into my bedroom. Careful not to move too fast I changed into some lounge clothes.

I slowly made my way back into my living room. I decided I would watch a movie to help pass the time. I popped in a random horror flick that I grabbed and lay down on the couch to relax.

(1 PM)

My phone ringing woke me up. I looked at the clock and realized I'd slept a few hours.

"Denton."

"Ciao bella. How are you feeling?" Danny asked.

"Danny had to call his woman." I heard Flack in the background.

"Hush, she is sick." Danny muttered. "How are you?"

"I had fallen asleep watching….I think this is one of the Friday the 13th series." I said. "I haven't thrown up anymore."

"That's good. We're just now finishing up that double shooting scene. It was messy, lots of bullets. Definitely a drive-by, most likely gang activity." Danny said.

"Mi manchi." Danny said. "That means I miss you."

I giggled. "Yeah, its not often we don't see each other at work."

"Spero che presto tu stia meglio." Danny said. "I hope you feel better soon."

I could hear Flack laughing in the background. No doubt giving Danny a hard time.

"Tell Flack to hush. And your Italian is making me feel better. It's very sexy." I said.

"Aspetta i madrelingua per altre spiegazioni?" Danny asked.

"If you were asking for something sexual, it'll have to wait until I feel better." I giggled.

Danny laughed. "Actually I was asking if you wanted me to bring you anything."

"Oh no. I'm fine. You just finish your case and have a good day. You can call me when you leave work." I said.

"I will and if you need anything, you call me or Flack." Danny said.

"Okay, but I think I'll be okay." I said.

"I'll call you later. Love you." Danny said.

"Love you too." I said and hung up.

I started the movie over since I had missed most of it.

(4:30PM)

I was in the middle of watching another Horror movie when the buzzer to my apartment started ringing. I walked over and answered it.

"Hello?"

"Baby it's me, buzz me in." Danny said.

"Shouldn't you be at work? What are you doing here? I'm sick." I said.

"Just buzz me in." Danny said.

I buzzed him in and a few minutes later Danny was knocking on my door. He walked in carrying bags and sat them on my kitchen counter.

"Danny what is all this?' I asked.

Danny turned around and kissed my forehead. "My tesoro is sick; of course I am going to take care of her."

"But you should be at work?" I protested.

"I left early. Mac had everything under control." Danny smiled.

"But you don't have to take care of me. I don't want to ruin your evening by having you sit here waiting for me to vomit." I said.

"Rory, I love being with you. And I didn't want you to be alone while sick." Danny said.

"Have I ever told you you're the sweetest man alive?" I smiled.

"You have no idea how much I love you." Danny said. "Now go lie down on the couch. I brought you some light food to try to eat and I stopped and picked up some medicine that is supposed to help with nausea."

"You're spoiling me." I giggled as I walked towards the couch.

"You spoil me too." Danny smiled.

I lay down on the couch and watched as Danny puttered around in my kitchen.

"What did you find on the double-shooting?" I asked.

"Mac is running the ballistics. We're pretty sure there was more than one gun involved." Danny said.

"What was the gang that was attacked?" I asked.

"The Black Cobras. They're an African-American gang, dabbles in rap." Danny said.

"They got issues with any particular rival?" I asked.

"We're still trying to find out. You know how well gangs want to cooperate with police." Danny said.

"That's true. I'm sure Mac will figure out something." I said.

Danny brought over a glass of something and plate of crackers.

"its clear soda and some crackers. If you can keep this down, we'll try some soup." Danny said.

"I'm sorry. I feel like I am turning you into a nursemaid." I said.

"Don't apologize. I WANT to be here." Danny said as I sat up to eat. "Ti voglio far sentire meglio."

"What?" I smiled.

"I want to make you feel better." Danny said.

"That Italian is so sexy…if I wasn't sick right now I'd probably jump on you." I giggled.

"Then let's hurry up and get you better." Danny smirked.

"Do you know how much I love you?" I asked.

"Not as much as I love you." Danny smiled and kissed my forehead. "I brought you something else."

"What?" I asked.

Danny went back into the kitchen and looked through the bags before pulling out a DVD and tossing it to me.

"Just released today and you've been wanting it." Danny said.

I looked down and saw the Rock's latest movie. "Danny you didn't…"

"I thought it'd cheer you up. And you were going to make me watch it sooner or later." Danny said and sat down next to me.

"thank you it does cheer me up. Can we watch it?" I asked.

"Sure, I'm here with you all evening." Danny said.

(10:30PM)

"You sure you don't want me to stay the night?" Danny asked.

"Sweetie, I kept down the crackers and soup. I'd say my stomach is settling and I'll be okay." I said as I climbed into bed.

"Okay, but if you get sick in the middle of the night call me, I'll come back." Danny said.

"You don't have to do that, but I appreciate the thought." I giggled. "Would you hold me until I fall asleep?"

"You know I will." Danny crawled on the bed beside me. I curled up on his chest and relaxed.

"Thank you for coming over tonight. It was better than being alone." I said.

"It was no trouble." Danny said.

"Danny…I know we've only formally been together a few weeks, but it feels like so much longer….and I am already in so deep." I said.

"Mi sono innamorato di te." Danny said. "I fell in love with you. I am in love with you. I have been for a long time. Long before I told you."

"Me too…..and I just wanted to tell you how happy you make me. I know I'm getting sappy and all, but…..you mean so much to me." I said.

"Ti amo e tu sei la mia vita." Danny said.

"Talk to me in Italian. You don't have to tell me what you're saying; just say pretty things in Italian." I said and closed my eyes.

"Mi fai impazzire. Ti amo più di ogni altra cosa, tesoro. Ti amo moltissimo, per me sei tutto……"
