Not got much to say about this chapter, so Enjoy :)

Lindsay had taken Lucy to the dentist so Danny was at home watching Joshua who was sat on his play mat shaking his rattle and giggling at the noise it made.

"Is that a funny noise Josh?" Danny asked from where he sat next to the mat on the floor.

Joshua shook the rattle again and laughed.

Danny smiled watching him "You're funny Josh"

Joshua babbled back.

"Yeah you are, you're funny like Daddy"

"Dada" Joshua dropped the rattle and crawled over to Danny.

"Hey little man" Danny smiled picking Joshua up and placing him on his lap. "You come for cuddles?"

Joshua leant his head against Danny's chest as if he was giving him a cuddle.

"Aww that's a lovely cuddle Josh" Danny said as he wrapped his arms around the 10 month old.

"Ooo-ee" Joshua said looking up at Danny.

"Lucy is at the dentist Josh with Mummy"

"Ooo-ee" Josh said again.

"She's not here Josh" Danny stood up and held Joshua to his hip. "Let's go play in your ball pit that Mummy set up for you in the garden till Lucy gets back" Danny carried Joshua out into the garden.

Joshua pouted as Danny placed him in the small inflatable swimming pool that Danny had brought last year that Lindsay had filled up with plastic balls.

"Lucy's been teaching you how to perfect that pout hasn't she?" Danny laughed

"Ooo-ee" Joshua said again.

"Sorry I shouldn't of mentioned her" Danny picked up a blue ball and held it out to Joshua "Want this?"

Joshua hit the ball out of Danny's hand with his little fist "Humph"

"Oh Joshua, why are you being a grumpsaurus?" Danny held out a red ball this time, which again Joshua battered away. "You would normally find this game funny"

"Ooo-ee" Joshua said again, with tears pooling in his eyes and a little frown appearing on his forehead.

"Oh little man don't cry" Danny picked up Joshua from the ball pit and sat him on his lap "It's not like you to get this upset over Luce not being here"

Joshua's bottom lip quivered his face turned red and tears began to roll down his cheeks.

"I hope your not coming down with anything" Danny said placing the back of his hand to his little boys forehead "No you're not hot"

Joshua reached up and grabbed Danny's shirt in his fist "Ooo-eee" he said again through his tears.

"Joshua it's okay, she'll be home soon" Danny stood up holding Joshua close to him moving from side to side trying to soothe him.

Joshua hid his face in Danny's shirt and carried on crying.

"Hungry" Danny said aloud "Maybe that's it" he carried Joshua through to the kitchen, He tried to sit him in his high chair but Joshua wouldn't let go of Danny's shirt. So grabbing a jar of baby food from the cupboard and a spoon from the drawer, Danny went over to the table and sat Joshua on his lap "Let's eat at the big boy table" he opened the jar and went to feed Joshua a spoonful.

Joshua turned his head away from the spoon.

"Joshua it's your favourite, banana custard" Danny told his son but Joshua still refused to look at the spoon. "Come on baby, you must be hungry"

"Ooo-eee" Joshua cried again.

Danny looked at his watch, 2pm which meant Lucy should be just going in for her appointment now "She'll be home soon Josh" he stood back up "Let's go and try you for a nap" he said making his way up to the nursery.

Joshua clung to him the whole way up the stairs and refused to be put in his crib.

Danny sat in the rocking chair with him, slowly rocking and making comforting sounds trying to get Joshua off to sleep. He even began to sing 'Hush little baby' but Joshua still continued to whimper in his arms.

Twenty minutes later and Joshua still hadn't fallen asleep so Danny took him back down stairs "What are we going to do with you?" he asked, ticking Joshua stomach in the hopes it would make him giggle.

"Ooo-eee" Joshua whimpered.

"Oh Joshua, she'll be home real soon I promise" Danny said rocking him for side to side on his hip, he looked up when he heard a key in the door "See, here she is"

Lindsay came in with Lucy placing her hand bag on the couch, she noticed Joshua's red tear stained face "Oh my baby boy, what's wrong?" she asked taking him from Danny's arms.

"He's been crying for Lucy for the past forty minutes" Danny sighed rubbing his hands over his face "Nothing would settle him"

"I'm here now Joshy" Lucy smiled as Lindsay knelt down so Joshua could see his big sister.

"Ooo-ee" Joshua said

"I'm here Joshua" Lucy smiled planting a little kiss on Joshua's cheek.

"Humph" Joshua cried turning his head. "Ooo-ee"

Lindsay placed Joshua on his play mat and made her way to the front door.

"Where are you going?" Danny asked.

"Just to the car, I'll be back in a second" she replied going out the front door.

A minute later she came back with something behind her back "I think I know what's wrong" she smiled sitting down in front of her little boy and handing him a little blue teddy bear. "You left him in the car"

Joshua's face lit up and he took the stuffed bear out of Lindsay's hands"Ooo-ee"

"Bluey" Danny said realising what Joshua had been saying all afternoon "Well I feel stupid now"

"No" Lindsay replied standing up "Don't feel stupid, it does sound like he is saying Lucy"

Danny smiled watching Joshua chew on Bluey's ear "I was getting worried something was seriously wrong with him, he never cries like that"

"Least he is okay now" Lindsay smiled planting a kiss on Danny's cheek.
