Title: Scenes from a Detox
Author: Lady Taevyn
Rating: PG
Summary: Basically what the title says. Jack and Daniel talk while they are Detoxing from the light. Oh and Janet writes a sappy note.
Disclaimer: Not mine, if they were Daniel and Janet would be together and have several babies by now.
Daniel had been mumbling incoherently the whole time Jack drove to the mountain. Jack had only been able to pick out a few words around the tears. It was something to do with Janet, and Daniel being unsure where they were going. Only after the pointed looks Janet shot his way did Jack truly understand. They were in a relationship. His slight nod when he came back from the planet with the samples was meant to reassure her that he understood and it was ok. They had been 'detoxing' for almost two weeks when Jack finally brought it up.
"So what does Cassie think about it?" Jack asked vaguely. When Daniel only stared unknowingly Jack further explained what he meant. "You know you and the doc being a couple. I was just wondering if you had told Cassie yet."
"Not that it's really any of your business, but yes we told Cassie, and she's fine with it. She's growing up so fast you know she was 10 when we brought her here from Hanka. I seriously thought she was eight. She's going to be driving next year Jack, I'm almost certain Janet's going to want me to teach her. I'm going to be as gray as you." Daniel turned the tables back on his friend, wanting the spotlight off of himself.
"Ha ha, you're just a laugh riot aren't you? I think I liked it better when you weren't talking. Do you think Janet's going to want to take Loren in too, I'm only asking because I was thinking of petitioning for custody of him." Jack tacked on the last bit quietly, not sure how Daniel would take the news.
"I think Janet has her hands full enough with one alien child, you'll do great by him Jack." Daniel said wanting to reassure Jack. He knew all the hoops that Janet had to jump through to keep Cassie and they would all do everything they could to make the process easier for Jack. As Jack walked away Daniel was composing a letter in his mind to send through for Janet. Her reply at the next check in was just the news Daniel hoped it would be.
Daniel,
Let Jack know that I talked to General Hammond and he's going to push the paperwork through as soon as possible. Hopefully it'll go well and Loren won't have to wait long to have a family. Cassie baked some chocolate chip walnut cookies for you guys they are in the tin packed in the blue knap sack. Share, especially with Sam, I have a feeling she'll be needing the sugar and chocolate. Only one more week and you'll be home. We miss you.
Love,
Janet and Cassie.
End Please let me know what you think. This didn't actually go where I expected it, and it might (I stress Might) turn into a series. Anyway I hope you enjoy it.
