It was late at night, and Dan'ac was starting to get cold. But he knew that he wouldn't move until he saw her until he saw the one he loved more than life it's self. Once more he looked at her bedroom window hopping that she would be home and in her room he didn't care if he could only see the shape of her he just had to see her one last time. All of a sudden as if she had heard him, he saw the light in her room go on and he saw her framed by her long brown hair smile as she looked out at the stars that where shining that night. He heard her sigh long and deep through the open window and all he could do to stop him self from running up to the house and telling her how he felt was to remind himself of who her father was. Lieutenant General jack O'Neill was not a man to trifle with. The general could break you in so many places before you had even noticed he had moved. And that was only if he didn't like what you had to say.
Dan'ac could not imagine how the general would react if he found out that his best friends grandson was not only in love with his daughter but was his daughters 2nd in command. It was well known in the SGC that jack O'Neill had once been his wife Samantha carter's CO, but that didn't matter to anyone now as every one knew that jack O'Neill would kill himself a million times over before he let anyone other than himself touch his Samantha carter. Dan'ac watched and the love of his life, the reason he lived reached out and pulled her window shut. He watched as he saw her father come in and give her a goodnight hug and kiss. Dan'ac had always wanted to be the one who gave her the goodnight hug and kiss ever since he had seen Grace Catherine Janet O'Neill he knew that she was the one girl for him THE ONLY ONE FOR HIM. But there was a catch she was his CO and as much as he wanted to kiss her to hold her and to tell her how he felt he knew she would never give up her job for him or any one but her parents plus there was the small problem of the frat regs.
Dan'ac continued to watch his one and only soul mate as she bade goodnight to her father and her mother, the later one looking so much like his grace but with blond hair. Dan'ac knew that had graces mum been his age then the general would have some serious competition from him. But as it was Samantha O'Neill was not his age and besides Sam's daughter was so beautiful that every moment that Dan'ac wasn't with her or looking at her felt like a life time wasted as far as he was concern. As Grace turned around Dan'ac felt him self get hard. He rolled over on the grassy bank at the back of the O'Neill house until he was laying flat on his back and forced himself to think of other thing until he felt his hard on lay back down. When he rolled back over and looked at graces window he saw her pull her top off and bra off and quickly pull her night dress over her head. At lest it was quick in the real world but Dan'ac wasn't in the real world any more as soon as he had seen just a little bit of graces naked skin it had sent him in to over drive. And he knew that even his father the great and mighty jaffa Ry'ac would not be able to drag him away not now not now he had seen her breast and her stomach. He also knew that he didn't care if the rest of her was a complete and utter wreck he knew than that he would love her no matter what in sickness and in health, for richer or poorer and forsaking all others remane true to her until death did they part.
Dan'ac was so rapped up in watching grace that he didn't hear one of her youngest brothers' approach him from behind. But he did hear him when Daniel Lou O'Neill shouted right down his ear hole.
"What the hell do you think your doing watching my sister like that" Dan'ac rolled over on to his back and got him self on to his feet faster than you could have said Damit. Dan'ac stood there and looked at his friend for 5 years and knew that he was so busted.
"Daniel let me explain please" Dan'ac asked in a pleading voice if he could just get Daniel on his side about this then he knew he would not only be saving his ass from the hell flame that was general O'Neill but also graces'. Daniel looked his friend up and down and noticed from the grass stains on his best friend's uniform that his friend had been out here was quite a while. Daniel also noticed the small wet patch that had formed on his friends trousers just over the groin. That's was what he always secretly call the grace effect. Daniel knew the hold that his older sister had over all his friend's hearts and he also knew that the only reason that Dan'ac would be out here in his back garden on a cold and freezing night was to look at the one thing he knew his friend longed for.
"Dan'ac you don't have to explain your self to me, I've known about the hold grace has on your heart for some time now don't you think I haven't noticed that as soon as she walks in the room you act like a 5 year old kid. Don't you think that I haven't noticed that every time you come round to stay at the cabin you always ask either one of my brothers or my sister's Janet and Charlie, if grace is going to be there, I mean come on Dan'ac you are so transparent it's not even funny any more"
Dan'ac just stared he couldn't believe it. Was his love for grace that clear then he saw Daniel was trying not to laugh and that got Dan'ac started. And before they knew it they where both laying on the grassy bank laughing so hard that they thought their lungs would burst. Slowly they got them self under control. Daniel turned to his friend and said "do you want to go inside and meet the off duty grace O'Neill or would you just prefer to stay out here and fantasise about her" Daniel was being at bit mean with the teasing but he knew some thing that Dan'ac didn't and that was that grace had wanted to meet the off duty Michael jaff for so long that she had started to give up hope.
"Only as long as your dad doesn't kill me for looking at your sister that way" Dan'ac stated, he could hear the worry in his own voice. Daniel just gave a quick laugh and stated that his dad had never bit the head off of another air force officer before and that he could guarantee that his father wouldn't bite the head off Dan'ac just yet.
"He's saving that for the person or should that be people who break his three beloved daughters' hearts, and besides shouldn't you be more worried about weather me sis thinks of you the same way you think of her" Daniel added with a slight grin on his face. Dan'ac had no answer to that he just nodded his head and followed his friend in to the house. When they where inside Dan'ac noticed that the rest of Daniel's family (apart from grace and their parents) where all sitting at the breakfast bar in the kitchen and where watching Daniel and Dan'ac come in the back door. At first Dan'ac was in awe that he was in the same house as the famous SG-rebels the first, last and some times only line of defence that the world had from the ori, but that awe soon turned to fear when the oldest of the team got up and walked over to them.
"so Daniel what sad excuses have you dragged in with you today, you know mum and dad are going out of their heads with worry, I mean the lest you could do is phone one of us and tell us you are going to be late but no the great and mighty Daniel is to mighty to pick up the phone and call his common born family" Dan'ac just looked at Daniel he could see that Daniel was trying hard not to laugh, but Dan'ac couldn't under stand what was so funny. Then he turned and looked at the rest of them and saw that they where all trying to not laugh. Then he heard Daniel say "oh and it's not like you care or any thing is it JJ you just want to know if I'm game or not" and with this comment the laughter slipped out of the O'Neill family that was congregated in the kitchen.
"Oh come on Daniel we had to try I mean even you have to admit it was a crazy enough plan to work and it looks like it has" Jake told his younger brother after they had all stopped laughing. Daniel nodded and looked at Dan'ac he was just standing there as if he had just stepped in to a *crazy house* as his dad so colourfully put it.
"Hey guy's I don't think the people in the next galaxy heard you do you think you could make some more noise" came a voice from the kitchen door. Dan'ac froze on the spot for standing there in her night dress with her heavenly brown curls framing her face and no ugly boots to hide her perfect ankles was the woman that Dan'ac had watched from afar for the last 3 years. There in the door way looking as beautiful as the sun to a man who had lived his life in a window less hole stood Grace O'Neill. As soon as Grace saw who her brothers and sisters where hiding she let out a squeak and dashed from the room and back to her bedroom never stopping once to notice that her mother and father where watching the events unfold from the living room unseen.
"Ok that part of the plan did not go well" lieutenant General jack O'Neill stated as he walked in to the kitchen where his children with the exception of grace where gathered. Jack heard his kids all laugh. It was well known to him that all the boys had his hearty laugh and that his only three daughters had their mother Samantha's laugh. But the group effect of them all laughing tougher was better than any thing.
" um jack I think that's kind of an under statement I mean did you see the look on graces face when she saw who the visitor was, it's almost the same stare you gave me when you and I where…."
"Ok ok Sam that's enough I know they are old enough but I don't want them knowing the intermit parts of our life just yet" jack told Sam with a shocked but amused look on his face.
"mum, dad we don't ever what to hear about what you got up to before we came along ok" Harry and George told their parents tougher like JJ and Jake Harry, George and grace always did every thing tougher. Dan'ac had just stared at the legendary jack O'Neill and Samantha cater. Just in complete and utter awe that he was sharing the same breathing space as two of the most famous people in the whole base. He knew that his grand father Teal'c had always said that jack O'Neill hated to be looked at like a hero but Dan'ac couldn't help it even after all this time of working under the command of his heroes he knew he was staring at them as if they where a dream to good to be true. Dan'ac only snapped out of his dream world when he felt Daniel dig him in the ribs.
"hey Dan you know if your jaw dropped any lower then you would be able to fit the whole galaxy in your mouth, my dad asked if by any chance you had any idea why we've brought you here" Dan'ac quickly closed his mouth and shook his head he had no clue what in the world the famous jack and Sam and the rest of the SG-rebels would want with a low ranked captain like him. But if the glint in their eyes was anything to go by he could tell that they where having too much fun right now to stop long enough to tell him what's going on.
"Listen kid" jack started as he steered Dan'ac in to the living room and sat him down, the kids and Sam followed him as far as the stairs then parted company to go to bed. "Dan'ac the thing is I asked Daniel to bring you in here to night cos I think it's time you told my daughter how you really feel when you're around her. Dan'ac I have been watching over the past 3 years the easy laughter and sense of clam you bring my daughter and the unchained love that you enlight in her every time you brush by her or say her name. I know that she's your CO and I know that you would never do anything to make her leave the air force and the SG-rebels. but I can't stand coming home to see my little girl in such obvious pain any more and I know that your grandfather Teal'c can't stand to see you go through life with the what ifs' and maybes of a life you could have had. Dan'ac what I'm trying to say is that you have not only my permission to date my daughter but I am ordering you to date her and tell her how you feel cos one day you may just lose her to someone else and then you will wonder why you made such a big deal out of it and you will slowly drive your self mad with the visions of what might have been. Believe me I know I've been through it before and I'm sure as hell not going to let the apple of one of my best friends eye fall by the wayside when I can offer him help. Now get your butt up those stairs to the room I know you've been spying on for the last 2 years and tell the girl in there everything and don't come out till you have heard how she feels about you as well ok"
Dan'ac just stared he couldn't believe this the general had noticed. And what's more grace liked him that in it's self was enough to start him up those stairs to the room as jack put it he had spied on for the last 2 years, but as he reached the door that he wanted to open he lost all of his new found confidence. But then out of no where he mind showed him an image of what could happen in the future as long as he opened the door to what he had come to know as the forbidden fruit room. Slowly with this vision playing in his head he opened the door to his hearts desire.
She was sitting up in bed typing away on her laptop she didn't even look at who had entered her room with out knocking. She didn't watch as he got closer and closer to her bed side and her heart. She didn't look in to his eyes as he watched her work. But she did notice when he took her hand in his and held it to his heart witch she could feel was beating 10 times a second and some how she knew that it wasn't from running or any kind of physical activity. How she knew that she would never know but one thing was for sure she had waited for this moment for so long that it almost felt like a dream. She waited as he placed his hand on her chest just over her heart and she knew what he could feel. For her own heart was beating so fast that she was sure that it was trying to jump out of her chest and in to his hands.
Grace knew that even if she looked calm and composed on the outside it was only to try and put him off the scent. The fact of the matter as her father had so gracefully put earlier that night was that she was more than In love with her second in command, she was ready to give her life for him in a second with out even a moments thought. As she typed she felt him drag his hand down her other arm and stop at the other hand that was still typing, slowly he picked up her other hand and brought it to his lips where he kissed it and said the three words that she thought she would never hear come from his mouth.
"I love you" that was all he needed to say for the next thing he knew the laptop was on the bed side cabinet and she had her arms round his neck and her mouth over his. He could feel her whole body tensing waiting for the moment when he would slip that ever elusive hand up her night dress to touch her bear skin. He could also feel her knee rubbing his hard on till he thought that it would forever be as stiff as a board. He gently ran his tongue over the edge of her lips and her mouth opened wide to invite him in. he knew that no matter what they heard from grace's room tonight the O'Neill's wouldn't disturb them.
Slowly Dan'ac reached down until he felt grace's leg under his hand and even more slowly he moved his hand up her leg moving the night dress she wore up as far as it needed to go before he could do what he planed to do. But before he could do anything more than touch the top of her leg, Dan'ac felt grace's hands pull at his shirt and he could feel her hands slide around his chest as they won the fight with his shirt. Dan'ac pulled back out of the kiss for a second wanting to go further with grace than he had ever gone before but he didn't want her to push her self in to doing something she wasn't ready for but before this thought even became aware to his brain he heard the two little words he needed to hear.
"Me too" and that was it the clothes came off; And after 3 years of dreaming of what it would be like when they where finally tougher Dan'ac and grace finally found out how much they loved each other. The next morning grace woke early to find her self in the arms of the one man she thought she would never be with. Grace watched Dan'ac sleep; she watched his chest rise and fall and his hand rise and fall wile holding her arm to his chest. Grace knew that she never wanted to be apart from him again, she knew now that she didn't care what everyone said and she didn't care if she had to leave the air force all she knew was that the days she had to choose between her job and the man she loved where over cos now the only thing in the world she needed more than her family was lying right next to her holding her close, and with that thought grace once again feel asleep in captain Dan'ac jaff's arms.
SG-1 peered through the small crack in the door to see the daughter of two of the team in bed with the grandson of one of the team. But they didn't care as long as the kids where happy and not about to repeat their own mistakes. They didn't care who they where in bed with as long as they each followed their hearts.
"well space monkey I believe you owe my $90, cos I remember you saying that I couldn't get my daughter and Dan'ac tougher by the end of the month" jack said with a big grin on his face from seeing his oldest daughter happier then he had seen her in a long time. Dr Daniel Jackson just handed over the money with out a word, it didn't matter about the money to him all he cared about was the fact that his niece/goddaughter was finally in the arms of her soul mate.
"O'Neill I do believe that it is time to have a celebration as an impossible fete is achieved" Teal'c said with a small smile on his face. Sam looked over at the alien that she had come to call her brother.
"you know Teal'c I think you're right this calls for a small party, and yes there will be cake jack " Sam mentioned laughing a the look that her husband for 16 years gave her at the word party, she was sure that everyone at the SGC knew that you just had to bring a cake in to the picture and hard assed SGC commander lieutenant general Jonathan `jack` O'Neill would give you anything you needed, and Sam knew it worked as she had used it a couple of times when the kids had come to the base with her cos the nanny had not tuned up.
SG-1 bust out laughing at that thought and only stopped when they heard noises from grace's room, they all lent as close to the door as they could with out opening it to hear what grace and Dan'ac would say to each other now.
`You know grace I have a feeling that the famous SG-1 has set us up`
`You know Dan'ac I think your right but you know what`
`What`
`at the moment I really don't care, and I will continue to not care as long as I can wake up in your arms every day on-world or off-world, I don't just love you Dan'ac I'm ready to die for you right here right now`
`Grace I …. `
`listen Dan'ac I don't give a dam what anyone else thinks about me and you being tougher and I really don't care if it means I have to leave the air force as I was only staying these days so I could see you, you and my family are the most important things in my life Dan'ac and I don't care If I have to go and kidnap the president of the USA just so we can be tougher cos I would do that and more for you`
Teal'c and Jack gave each other a quick glance they had known that grace and Dan'ac where in love but kidnapping the president just so they could be tougher well they just hadn't realised how much grace was willing to give up for Dan'ac.
`grace I couldn't ask you to do that, I love you more than anything in this world and the next, I would sell my soul to protect you and your family, but I would never ask you to do a thing like that`
`You know what Dan'ac`
`What grace`
`I'm starting to get lonely here so do us both a favour and kiss me`
At that SG-1 heard Dan'ac laugh and then heard the groan of bed springs. They all pulled away from graces door and went down stairs. When they where in the kitchen jack turned to the rest of his children who where waiting to hear how last nights plan had worked out and said simply " If Ry'ac was here right how I'm sure he would be jumping for joy like a little kid" everyone just looked at jack then bust out laughing.
While Teal'c gave a small laugh, Ever since SG-1 had stepped down Teal'c had taken lesson for Daniel Jackson on how to mingle with people on earth. Which had been a good thing for 4 years after jack and Sam had had grace, Harry and George, Teal'c own son and daughter in law had had a baby boy. Dan'ac had been named after Daniel Jackson who had helped the mother through the birth .unfortunately Dan'ac had never really gotten to know his mum or dad as 2 years after he had been born the ori launched a surprise attack on the free jaff outpost in which he and his parents and dray'ac were. His parents had managed to send him through the stargate with another Jaffa and a quick message to Teal'c, before the ori had destroyed the outpost and Ry'ac, his young wife and Dray'ac with it.
Upon hearing what had happened Teal'c had wanted to hunt down all the ori and kill them with his bare hands. But luckily jack had managed to clam Teal'c down and reminded Teal'c that he had more important things to think about, most importantly was what he going to do with his grandson. This had stopped Teal'c in his tracks and made him think. After a while Teal'c had made everyone at the SGC promise that if they found out where the ori who had killed his wife, son and daughter in law where, then they would tell him so he could kill them. Teal'c had then got permission to live off base with his grandson. Teal'c had changed his name to Teal'c jaff and had been given the job of training new recruits.
But that was all in the past and now Dan'ac was a member of one of the best teams at the SGC. So when the rest of SG-1 and the rest of the SGC-rebels started organising a small party Teal'c helped out.
Upstairs in graces room things had just quieten down after Dan'ac and grace's heated moment. Dan'ac watched the beauty that lay in his arms. He couldn't believe that after all these years she was his, but not only that but she was willing to give up everything for him with out a second thought. That in it's self told him he had found something special. That small thought made him wish his father was here. Dan'ac missed him so much, both his father and his mother. They had died when he was young and he couldn't remember much about them but what he did know was he was sure that his father would have approved of grace and maybe told him to make his move sooner.
Easing him self out from Graces arms Dan'ac got up and got dressed. He didn't think it was strange that he was getting out of his 19 year old girlfriends bed naked after a night of heated sex, while he was only 16 he might be 17 in a few weeks but still, to Dan'ac it wasn't strange. What was strange was the fact that his boxers had some how found their way over to graces onsite, and where currently hanging from the edge of the toilet.
