Thanks to Wendy, the bestest beta in the world. Yeah, I said bestest:-P
Daniel walked cautiously past the kitchen, where Sam was working hard in front of the stove, toward Jack in the living room.
"Jack?" Daniel asked, worried.
"Daniel." Jack said in acknowledgment, but never taking his eyes off the Hockey game on the TV.
"What's Sam doing in the kitchen?" he asked.
"Cooking."
"What?"
"Baby food for Emma." Jack supplemented.
"Ummm, Jack?"
"Yes, Daniel."
"Um, Sam can't cook."
"I know that."
"You know that, yet you are letting her make baby food for your child?" Jack finally looked at Daniel and said, "It makes her happy." Seeing that wasn't enough for Daniel, he continued, "Look, she still feels bad about not being able to breast feed and then being gone all the time. It just makes her happy to make the food." He finished as he shrugged his shoulders and looked back at the game.
Daniel seemed to accept this answer for a while, looking at the game with Jack. He then turned his attention back to Jack, "Aren't you worried about Emma?"
"Nope." Jack answered simply.
"Jack, she gave you food poisoning during your honeymoon."
"Fer cryin' out loud, Daniel, I switch out the baby food." Jack whispered, taking a quick glance at the kitchen door.
"You what?"
"Look, I find out what she is making, I buy the groceries while she's at work, and I make a batch of everything. After she goes to bed tonight I will switch out what she made with what I made. Everyone is happy… and safe." Jack looked back at the game, figuring the conversation done.
"Ah..." Daniel answered before looking back at the game as well. But like all things with Daniel, another question nagged at him. "You don't burn it, do you?"
Jack turned to Daniel again, "It's just, well, you usually burn things."
"Daniel." Jack said, showing his patience on this had finally reached its end. "Watch the game and shut up."
Daniel meekly turned back to the game and watched. He didn't really care who was winning, though he was pretty sure Jack wanted the blue jerseys to win.
"Emma really liked the food. I actually kind of like doing it." Jack added a few minutes later.
Daniel looked at Jack in shock. Jack merely shrugged his shoulders again without even looking at Daniel, and continued to watch the game.
