"Lacey," Danny whispered. Lacey slowly opened her eyes, "Hey..." She muttered. Jackson looked at her, "You scared us Lacey..."
Lacey rolled her eyes, "It wasn't my fault..."
Jackson laughed a little, "Your off the hook, besides...I kinda felt bad about Michael beating you up."
Danny looked at him, "What?" Jackson put his hands in his pockets, "Michael got a little abusive with Lacey,"
"Lacey, your never seeing Michael again!!" Danny said. Lacey closed her eyes and opened them, "Fine..."
Danny sat down next to her, "Lacey, listen to me. Michael can do bad things to you, worse than beating you up...he could...do something I did to your mother..." Danny sighed, "He could rape you, and I don't want that to happen. Because I raped your mom when she was fifteen and I got her pregnant with you, Holly, Adam, Jeremy and Eric..."
Lacey looked like she did not understand what her father was saying, "What?" Asked Lacey
Jackson was shocked, Danny admitted his mistake to his daughter. Not to Jackson, nor to Nathan or Ian.
"Even though that was wrong, if I had not done that. I wouldn't have married your mom, and you wouldn't be here, nor would your brothers and sisters."
"You acted in sin," Lacey said. Danny looked at her, "Exactly, that's exactly what I did. I was young and stupid, now I'm old...I have eight children and I can't go around being stupid...and I don't want to."
Lacey grabbed his hand, "It's okay dad, I'm not angry!"
Danny hugged her, "That's great!"

Jeremy, Adam, and Holly walked back and forth waiting for Danny to get home. "What's taking him so long? What if Lacey died!?!" Eric complained. Holly glared at him, "She is NOT dead!"
Adam didn't know why his family was crazy, everyone at school wanted to know why his dad was so young and had eight kids and five of them were already teenagers. One of the girls said, "I was seven when my dad was thirty, why is your dad so young?"
The only people who knew why Danny was so young and had teenagers was The Jackson family (AKA, Jackson and Melissa) The Marin family, and The Mallibar family. And Daley and Nathan knew about what happened to Emily fourteen years ago.
Lacey was the only person who did not know about what her father did to her mom, Danny was scared that she'd hate him. Jeremy, Adam, Holly and Eric understood just fine and forgave him. But Lacey was and probably still is hard hearted.

Danny and Jackson were told to leave the room, so that Lacey could rest. Danny sighed, "I just told my daughter my secret, and she was not mad at me!"
"Well, I'm glad you told her..."
