Author's Note: I don't own anything or make money from any of this. Please read and review. I like Danny & Jordan so this story is about them and a medical procedure.

"Matt, I need you to talk to Danny," Jordan said just after the door shut leaving them alone. Danny had been called away by a PA about a lighting issue.
"We talk all the time," Matt said, looking at the board and wondering what would work for the cold open.
"It's about a rather sensitive subject," Jordan admitted.
That got Matt's attention and he looked at her worried.
"Everything okay?" Matt asked.
"No," Jordan said as she leaned against his desk.
Matt just looked at her and waited for her to continue.
"He wants to have a vasectomy," Jordan said.
"Jordan, I really don't feel like talking about Danny's…"
"And I need you to talk him out of it," Jordan continued, undaunted.
"I'm sorry?"
"He won't listen to me," Jordan said.
"I think I missed part of this argument," Matt pointed out.
"He wants to get one because my last pregnancy was so risky that we have decided to not have more children," Jordan said. "But, what if one day he wants them, maybe even with someone else? I don't want to be the one who…"
She stopped talking when Matt burst out laughing.
"It's not funny," Jordan said, annoyed.
"But it is," Matt snickered. "You are worried he's going to want a biological child of his own and what you don't realize is that he doesn't give a shit about that."
"Excuse me?"
"He loves you and he loves Becky," Matt said reassuringly. "That's all he wants is a family. Danny hasn't ever cared about biology. His own father walked out just after his sister was born, his mom re-married and his step-father, not his biological father, was his true father."
"I know all of that, Matt but…"
"But nothing," Matt said as he stepped toward her. "Danny knows he will always be more of a father to Rebecca than that insurance dude you slept with. And he'd never want to put you at risk again. The vasectomy is his way of protecting his family."
"But…"
"He's never going to be with anyone else besides you, and if you and he can't have kids, and it's dangerous to try, then he totally wants a vasectomy."
"I do," Danny said behind her.
"Jesus, when did you come in?" Jordan asked as she turned to look at him.
"Jordan, can you just stop?" Danny asked as he walked toward her. "No one, least of all Matt,…"
"Thank you," Matt nodded.
"…is going to convince me to ever put you at risk. And if we keep relying on less reliable birth control, then something is going to happen."
"Danny, you will lose any chance you have to…"
"Becky is my daughter," Danny said. "I don't need DNA. Hell, I don't want DNA offspring because of my past. I want to know that Becky is not going to have some sort of pre-determined addiction gene that could…"
"Honey…" Jordan started.
"I love you," Danny said as he stepped toward her and rested his forehead against hers. "And Becky completes our family. That's all I need besides keeping you both safe. Which is why I'm getting that vasectomy tomorrow, okay?"
Jordan nodded. "Okay."
Danny gave her a small smile.
"Well, as much as I was pleased to be included in the discussion of Danny's balls…"
"Matt…" Danny warned.
"I do have a cold open to write," Matt continued.
