"Danny didn't need to see Lucy to know that her eyes were pleading with him to go back to the hospital. The idea was really tempting, but he knew that he couldn't give into it. He needed a third option. "I'll let you in on a secret: I'm not feeling very brave either right now, but I always find it easier to be brave in twos. Come here, Luce."
Not needing to be asked twice, Lucy hurried to Danny's side of the bed and he leaned over to pick her up. Putting her down on Lindsay's half of the bed, he grabbed Lindsay's pillow and put it down in the middle of the bed, moving his own pillows out of the way so he could put his head on it. Once he was settled in, he moved Lucy until she was tucked into his side, her head on the pillow beside his. Lucy shifted her face so it was half-lying on Danny's shoulder and looked up at him.
"I think you're right Daddy, I feel a bit braver now."
"So do I Lucy." He leaned down to kiss her forehead and he watched as her eyes started to flutter shut again. "Go to sleep sweetie. I'm here, you're safe."
Finally giving in, Lucy was in a deep sleep in a matter of minutes. Danny truly felt better having her there with him in lieu of Lindsay and within a few minutes, with Lucy's warm weight at his side and his wife's scent filling his nose, he fell into a deep and dreamless sleep."

Those lines, even though they were filled with so much strength, made me cry. They're both hurting but it lessens when you share it. My favorite scene is where Danny deliberately switches from cop to husband/father to find one of his worst fears, his love one hurt and having to wait with Lucy, them both in fear of what happened to Lindsay and if she's alright. :) And how he slipped off her rings and placed them near his heart. The imagery made me choke up. I do have to thank you for introducing his mom in here, she's a pistol and I love how he'd ignore her but something about this time made him stop and pay attention. And how she considers Lindsay her little girl. Awesome!
