A/N: I am so very sorry for the huge delay in this chapter. I recently made a huge move and I am adjusting to a new job. I have tried to write this chapter for three months. So on top of everything, I also had horrible writer's block. I am hoping to write for my other WIPs. I may write a new story but that would be a one shot. Thank you for everyone who has stuck by me and continued to read my stories. Thanks to SapphireEJ for everything, you know exactly what I mean.

They sat like that for what seemed to be days on end. All they could do was pray. Each Reagan sat with Linda. Of course Danny never left her side. They prayed for good news, they prayed for any news at all.

As two days turned into a week, the hope of both families began to dwindle. Linda's parents never left, she always had a constant stream of people visiting, each of them asking and praying for her to come back to them. To be the Linda they all knew and loved.

Jack and Sean kept ask when they were going to be able to visit their mom. However, Danny wanted them to see their mom in happy spirits, not unconscious in the hospital. So until they knew something concreate, the family was kept separated. Danny wanted so bad to see his boys and comfort them, but he knew he couldn't leave Linda. He was taken out of his thoughts by the doctor entering the room.

"Good Evening, Danny," Dr. Lincoln quietly greeted. He remembers meeting Danny for the first time many years ago, he was impressed by the confidence that the young man held. He had come to know him on a first name basis, and in the medical field that wasn't a good thing. When he heard the name Reagan on ER floor that night he prayed it wasn't Danny. But it wasn't easy telling him that Linda, his beloved Linda was hurt and he wasn't sure what her injuries were. However the fact that Danny refused to leave Linda's side, made Dr. Lincoln realize that there was something deeper between these two.

"Hi Troy," Danny greeted sleepily. The doctor wasn't a close friend but he was exactly who had wanted to oversee Linda's care, "is there any news? Should she be waking up soon or…"

"She has been showing signs of coming around. But you have to understand that it could take hours, days, maybe even more. Her body needs to heal itself. Rest is the only way to do that," Lincoln explained. "Go freshen up, I'm not asking you to go home. I'm telling you to go to your squad, get some food, and take a nap. This isn't going to happen in the next five minutes. If she starts to wake up, I'll call you as soon as anything happens. If you don't go I'll admit you to a different floor and tell the commissioner that you are unsuitable for duty. Of course he'd understand being he is your father, but you need to go. Someone will be here with her. I will make sure of it."

Danny knew he couldn't fight it. He had his family and in-laws telling him the same thing. "One hour, that's all I am going to be gone for. One hour. If anything happens you call me. I need to be here for her."

"We'll make sure of it. She is much my daughter as you are my son, Danny. One of us will call you," Frank comforted as he hugged his oldest. He knew what his son was going through; he didn't want him to suffer the pain of losing his wife, not yet. They still had many years ahead of them.
