Daniel loves Peggy, Peggy loves Daniel. They pretend that they don't but we are sure they do.

I came by this idea because of the spoilers and pictures from the upcoming episode 2x05. I want something like this to happen in the next episode!

Whitney stood above her, looking down on her from the other side of the railing.

"I'm sorry Agent Carter." Her voice without any remorse or sympathy as she removed Peggy's hand from the railing.

Peggy fell down onto the wooden box, hard. She fell on her back, her head hit the wooden box after her back did. The box positioned under the upper level where she hung a moment earlier with her right hand holding her from falling.

Whitney did let her fall and caused her injury.

She lay there her eyes closed. Her head was hurting really bad, it was an excruciating pain. She lied still on the now broken wooden box as she heard footsteps coming her way.

She couldn't open her eyes, but she heard the people, her friends, coming around her one by one.
"Peggy hey, open your eyes." It was Daniel. "Call an ambulance!" He screamed the order at no one in particular. "There is no phone here." It was Rose.

Peggy whimpered. She wanted to tell them she was fine and didn't need an ambulance, she opened her eyes and said one word before she was sucked in darkness.

Thirteen hours had passed and Daniel was home. He was worried about Peggy. When he heard her scream and heard a big bump like something had fallen hard on the solid ground ran towards the sound of cracked wood.

He was overly worried about Peggy and when he saw her lying there moving less he got to her as fast as he could. He tried to get her to open her eyes, but she didn't. That broke him. At that moment he knew he still loved her like he had in New York City.

Now he sat on the beige couch in his living room worrying about Peggy's well being. She would stay one night at the hospital until she could go home the next day.

"Miss Carter will be alright Agent Sousa." Jarvis stood by the window as he spoke. "I worked with miss Carter and she is well in recovering." Daniel looked over at Howard Stark's butler.

"I should have been there. I could have saved her from falling." Was all Daniel said.
"No you could not. We all had our own battles, our own troubles that we dealed with at the same moment it happened to miss Carter." He gave Sousa some wine and took place on a chair on the opposite of the couch. "Don't blame yourself Agent Sousa." Jarvis comforted the troubled Agent he admired.

He remembered what Rose had said when Peggy was missing and Agent Sousa lost his composure.
"She will be alright Agent Sousa." Daniel looked over at mister Jarvis and smiled a little smile. "I know she will. She has to be."

"Daniel." Violet stood in the door opening from the living room. Daniel and Jarvis heads turned to the direction of her voice. "I leave you two alone." Jarvis stood up and walked past Violet before he turned around. "I'll be in the kitchen if you need anything, a strong drink perhaps, I will gladly asist." And with that Jarvis was out of sight.

"Daniel are you alright? You look really tired." Violet took place next to him on the couch. She smiled at him and he smiled a small smile back. "I'm just tired." Was all he said. He would sleep on the couch for the night to be at guard. His whole team had to be cautious, because Whitney Frost had escaped after she injured Agent Carter.

"Are you coming upstairs?" Violet asked as she held Daniel's hand. "No, I can't I need to stay by the phone. Agent Gilmartin will call me if Peggy's health changes." He said it without realizing. "You always talk about her." Violet said, hurt present in her voice but also a tiny bit of frustration. "No… no I don't. She is… Peggy is just my colleague and she is a part of my team." Violet stood up from the couch and walked towards the entrance of the living room.

"I see how you act around her Daniel. I noticed when I saw you in the hospital waiting for any news. Your expression said it all." Violet turned around to face him. She was angry.
"Of course I am worried about her. She was a part of my team and I have to report what happened to New York!" Daniel started to get frustrated just like Violet.

"You said you loved me. You asked me to become your wife." She waited for a replay from him but she got none. Daniel didn't know what to say. He liked Violet, even loved her, but he loved Peggy too. He loved Peggy more and he felt bad to hurt Violet.

"You love her don't you?" was all she said. She already knew the answer. When Daniel looked away she took her ring off her ring finger and placed it on the table. "I hope you feel happy about this." She said. Daniel looked at the ring that lied before him now. "Violet." Was all he said. "I go pack my things." And with that Violet left.

Daniel did hit the pillow from the coach. Why do I screw things up? He thought frustrated to himself.
That's when he heard the ticking of Violet's heels on the stairs and the door slammed shut. She was gone. He fucked that up. He knew Violet deserved better.

"Can I assist you with anything Agent Sousa?" Jarvis came in. "No thank you." He mumbled to himself. "This is crazy."

"Sorry I speak about this matter but I think you feel better with some vodka." Daniel looked at Jarvis. "Give me the whole bottle." And Jarvis got it for him.

The next day Peggy was released from the hospital. She still had sore muscles and concussion, but for the rest she was doing okay. She was now at home and was reading a book on the couch inside the reading room. That's when she got interrupted.

"Miss Carter you got a visitor." Jarvis came in. "And who could that possibly be?" Peggy said sarcastically. "Me." And Daniel stepped past Jarvis into few.

"Daniel. I didn't know you would come or I would have made myself useful." She looked down at herself. She was still in her flower patterned peignoir. "And got dressed in daily clothes." She said as she putted the book aside, on the side table.

"Don't need to change for me. How are you feeling?" Daniel asked seriously. He was worried about her. "I'm… I'm fine, thank you Daniel." It was a bit awkward for the both of them.

"Can I…?" Daniel gestured with a nod to the couch. Peggy got the hint and made room on the red chic couch for him. "Of course." She said and took a sip of her tea.

"Peggy…" "What is it Daniel? You are not going to ask me for a dance right now will you, I have to stay low for a day or two." Daniel chuckles. "I could have asked you for a dance, but I'm not good of a dancer these days." And he patted his fake leg as he looked deadly serious yet smiled his goofy smile.
A huge happy smile appeared on Peggy's face. He always could make her smile.

There was a silence for a moment and Jarvis came in with ice cold water before he leaved the room again. Anna waited for him in the doorway and looked over at Peggy and gave her a wink. Peggy started to blush and raised her eyebrows before getting her composure back.

"Peg… I care about you." Daniel said and he wanted to continue. "Daniel it is not…" "I love you." "Necessary." Peggy looked at him, her eyes wide for a moment as she finished her sentence at the same moment Daniel said he loved her. Peggy didn't know what to say and Daniel felt awkward and stood up, ready to leave.

"Never mind Peggy." And took a step, ready to walk away, but he was held back by Peggy's hand on his arm.

"I care about you too, Daniel." She said confidently while looking into his dark brown eyes that looked almost as black as the dark night that lurked over LA at night.

And at that moment she gave him a lovely kiss on the cheek.
