Danny entered Lindsay's hospital room once he'd been released. He'd been in surgery the previous night to repair the damaged to his shoulder. After he'd woke from the surgery, Flack was in his room and told Danny that Lindsay was still in surgery.

Lindsay was slightly elevated in her bed. The blankets were pulled up to the middle of her stomach. She still looked pale, but she was definitely looking better. Her eyes shot up at the sound of the door opening.

Danny pulled the chair as close to her bed as he could get and sat down. "Hey babe."

Lindsay smiled. "Hey. Where's Lucy?"

"Mac and Stella are bringin' her over. They called and said they're on their way now." Danny explained.

"How's your shoulder?" Lindsay asked.

Danny looked down at his wrapped shoulder. His arm hung in a sling to keep him from moving. "It's bad, it's not great. What bout you? Can you feel anything?"

"Not yet." Lindsay sighed. "But the doctor should be able to let us know tomorrow."

Danny took Lindsay hand into his. "It'll be fine, babe. No matter what."

The door opened behind them Stella entered first, holding Lucy in her arms. Mac was holding the door open for them. Stella looked over at Lindsay and smiled. She pointed over to her while talking with Lucy.

"Look, there's mommy." Stella said. "And daddy."

Danny turned and smiled. "Hey there Luce."

Lucy smiled and held her arms out for Danny to pick her up.

Stella smiled. "You think you can take her?"

"Yeah, I can take her." Danny took Lucy into his good arm and lifted her from Stella. He set her on his lap.

"How you two feeling?" Mac asked. He closed the door behind him.

"Docs already given me the all clear." Danny said.

"Lindsay, how are you?" Stella asked.

Lindsay looked up from Lucy, who'd began crawling toward her. "I have an appointment with my neurologist tomorrow."

"Any feeling at all?" Stella asked.

"From the bullet wound, there's a little feeling, but lower down there's nothing." Lindsay explained. She held out her hands fro Lucy. "But after everything that's happened, I'm counting myself very lucky."

Mac nodded. "I think everyone would agree with you Lindsay. And I can guarantee, that those officers you saved won't likely forget it either."

Lindsay shook her head. "I was just doing my job."

"Well Linds, job or not, the NYPD doesn't forget those who make a difference. And they won't." Stella explained.

"I know I won't." Danny said. He looked up form Lucy. "You certainly saved my ass yesterday."

Someone's phone started ringing. Stella searched through her purse and fished out her pager. She read the screen and nudged Mac. "DB in the park."

Mac nodded. "Catch you two later."

"Thanks for dropping Lucy off." Lindsay said.

"Take it easy." Stella winked. They walked out of the room.

For a moment, the room was silent, except for Lucy making slight noises as she crawled long Lindsay's legs.

Danny watched Lindsay during those few moments before he broke the silence. "I meant what I said, Lindsay. I won't forget you savin' my ass."

Lindsay didn't look up. "It's not the first time I've done it Danny."

"You're right, 'cept, we weren't married back then. And it was never in a gun fight." Danny replied. He lifted Lindsay chin to meet her eyes. "What happened to letting' me save you once in a while?"

"Don't worry, you'll get your chance again. And when you do, we'll be even." Lindsay said.

Danny leaned down and kissed Lindsay deeply. "Not likely, but it's a start babe."
