Name: Waking Dream

Chapter One

A/N: Yes I posted this story before, but I stopped because of school. And during school I've been tweaking and what not and writing more. And I'm reposting it brand new. :] Feel free to review again. AP Comp it pretty boring so that's when I do most of my writing.

"You ready for this Jack?" Daniel, dressed in his best tuxedo and aged about 20 years, asked his best friend also older than the last time we saw him. They stood in a make shift dressing room for the men.

"Daniel, I don't think anyone could've prepared either of us for this. I mean I got the son I once lost and now I'm losing him to you!" Jack tugged at his tie as if it had been pulled too tight. Daniel just rolled his eyes at his friend's childish antics.

"Well, I'm losing my only daughter to you. At least I can depend on Nathaniel to carry on my name. Still you stole it!" Daniel a midst the petty arguing made a break for the door, but was quickly followed by Jack. They both were needed out there before the wives got antsy and sent a search and rescue team for the two.

"If I remember correctly at dinner the other night she mentioned something about hyphening her name"

"Really?"

"Really. I'm more partial to Jackson-O'Neill, is just flows better." Jack smirked and continued on his way as Daniel slowed, seething slightly. Before he had time to react an arm linked through Daniel's and he instantly know it was Vala.

"It's time Daniel. She's waiting. I want the both of you to make me proud!" She kissed him on the cheek, and then disengaged their arms to hover over towards Sam outside. Daniel made a sharp right turn down the hall Vala had come from. At the end was a door marked, 'Bride's Dressing Room!' and below that. 'No Groom Allowed,' typical of his daughter. He hesitated before knocking. A Soft come in passed through the door. Jack had been right, no one could prepare him for this.

With a deep breath he opened the door to find his daughter looking at him, at herself, in the reflection of the mirror. His breath caught in his throat, she looked so much like her mother it was hard not to think that he was looking at Vala when they had gotten married many years ago. Her long black hair was curled and pinned back slightly with some of her mother's little hair clips, diamond ones. Her dress was a long pure white with beads embroidered all the way down the train, and starting at the top of her corset.

"Hi daddy." She spoke up breaking the silence. He could already see the tears welling up in her eyes. Those same pesky emotions caught up to him as well. He couldn't really speak she looked so beautiful in her white ball gown.

"Hey baby girl." Wrong choice of words. He watched as she tried to hold back the tears that fought so hard against the same will power her mother had, but her will power was no match for the tears today. Daniel quickly brought her into a hug. "Shh, it's okay. You're fine." He cooed into her ear. "Everything's okay." He rubbed his hand over her back comfortingly.

"I'm scared, Daddy." She choked out between gasps for air. Daniel pulled out of the hug and held her at arms length.

"I was so scared when I married your mother. All I could think about was our future. How long would we be married? How many children would we have? What about grand children? I better be getting' grand children." Of course that made them both laugh. And it made Daniel's day the best that it could ever be. He brushed away her stray tears with his thumb.

"Thank God for water proof make up. And Thank you daddy, you always know what to say." She smiled at him and he took her arm in his and walked her out to the big double doors leading to the outside ceremony. He opened the doors and the wedding march started to play. Daniel watched Jack's son carefully, he could tell by the way he was looking at his daughter that he'd take care of her that big, goofy, in love grin.

Daniel pulled back his daughter's veil and handed her off to her husband to be. He caught a glimpse of more tears welling up in her eyes as he made his way to sit next to Vala.

"Dearly beloved we are gathered here today to witness the joining of these two young ones, in holy matrimony. If anyone has any objections please speak now or forever hold your peace." Jack and Daniel exchanged looks.

"The couple has decided to write their own vows. Please read them now. Johnathan you go first." The minister directed.

"Ahem. Avery, we've grown up together, I'm pretty sure when we were toddlers, not even able to walk, we used to bath together." This got a chuckle from the guests. "But I've feel in my heart that we were made for each other. The way you just fit into the crook of my arms when we sleep, and how even when I've made you extremely mad you always find a way to forgive me. My dear Avery bird I Love You." He finishes his vows and gave a soft smile to her.

"Avery…." The minister urged.

"Oh! Haha, right! Johnathan, you pretty much wrote what I did. But I know that you are my soul mate. Most people scoff at those words. But I know not because of the things you just said, but because when I rest my head on your chest, and listen to your heartbeat it's the same beat that is also with in my chest. As you said, we were made for each other. With all my heart I Love You Johnathan Jacob O'Neill." A single tear rolled down her cheek, and John wiped it away with the same gentleness her father had earlier.

"With the wedding bands in place I am proud to pronounce you Mr. And Mrs. O'Neill. You may kiss the bride." And with his father's flare he grabbed Avery and dipped her into their first kiss as a married couple. And of course their friends hooted and hollered…because Jack lead them to do so.
