Daredevil: Water's Rough by ShowMeAHero
Water's Rough (Foggy/Matt | PG13 | 2,769 words | sequel to The Same Old Story, sequel is There's A Way): Foggy and Matt and their first child, in the beginning. Matt is struggling and Foggy's struggling and it's all very angsty in a way that's so personal to these characters in this situation.
Excerpt:
"You never hold him," Foggy points out. Matt flinches. He scratches at the back of his head. "Why don't you ever hold him? What're you afraid of?"
Matt doesn't answer for a little while. Then, he says, "I don't want to hurt him."
Foggy turns fully, folding his legs up under himself. He holds Jack tight against his chest and studies Matt's face for a second.
"You think you're going to hurt him?" Foggy asks. Matt half-shrugs, turning his face down towards the bed. "You’re not going to."
