The next morning the two boys slept late. Jack ran to grab the phone as it started to ring, he didn't want it to waken the boys. "Hi Roddy," he said. "Yes, we'll come as soon as the boys have breakfast." He put the phone down.

"Roddy wants us to go to the house so that the boys can try on the kilts to see which ones fit. I said we'd go as soon as the boys have breakfast." Just as he finished speaking he heard the sound of feet behind him.

"Jack, what time is it? I think my watch must have stopped. It says 10 o'clock."

"Nothing wrong with your watch Squirt, you were tired so we let you have a long sleep. Remember we're going to the ceilidh tonight?"

"Oh yes, I member.." he said as he yawned.

Jack looked over and said," Still tired?"

"No. I'm fine. Who was phoning?"

"Roddy, he wants us to go over to his house so you can try on the kilts. Got to get you all kitted out." Jack's cell phone rang. "Excuse me," he said as he left the room.

"What do you want for breakfast, Danny?" Rose asked.

"I'd like pancakes with syrup," he said licking his lips.

"Well that's what you shall have," Mrs. Murray said coming out of the kitchen."

"Is Johnny awake?" John asked.

"Think so, think I heard him go into the toilet as I was coming down the stairs."

"I'd better go check," Rose said.

Jack came back into the room," Dad can I have a word?"

"Something wrong Jack?" Danny asked.

"No. Nothing for you to worry about." And he went outside with his dad. Mrs. Murray came through with Danny's pancakes.

"Wow! These look good," Danny said.

"I've put some syrup, strawberry jam and ice cream in the dish for you as a treat."

"Thank you," Danny said tucking in to the food.

Jack and John came back in. "Slow down Danny or you'll make yourself sick," John said.

"But they're good. Try some Jack. But only a little bit. You'll have to ask Mrs. Murray for her recipe, these are great." Jack grabbed a pancake off his dish. "Hey, I said a little bit."

Mrs. Murray came back into the room, "Do you want some?" she asked Jack.

"Yes he does, he pinched one of mine," Danny said with a mouthful of pancake.

"Don't talk with your mouth full," Rose said coming down the stairs with Johnny. Johnny looked at the pancakes.

"I've made some for you as well," Mrs. Murray said.

"You're spoiling them," Rose said.

"They're only wee bairns," Mrs. Murray said.

"I meant the big bairns as well," she said pointing at Jack and John.

When they arrived at Roddy's he showed them up to one of the bedrooms. There were 6 kilts lying out on the bed. "You'd best try them on," said Helen. The boys tried to unravel the kilts but were having no luck. "Here, I'll show you how they go on." Both boys looked very smart.

"We'll have to take a picture," Rose said.

As they were getting dressed again Robbie came into the room. Danny looked nervously at him and then said," I'm sorry Robbie, I just had to tell."

"It's okay, Grandfather has been great about it. He's going to get the gun and keep it here. He also wants to put a picture of him up in the hall with the rest of the family. So you really did me a good turn." He held out his hand to shake Danny's. "Hope you didn't get into too much trouble."

"He got a spanking from Jack," Johnny piped up from behind him. Danny went red.

"Sorry about that," Robbie said.

"It's okay, it didn't hurt," Danny said. "Are you all going to be at the ceilidh?"

"Yes but there's no way I'm dancing."

"Me either," Danny said.

"We could play some tricks," Robbie suggested.

"There will be no tricks played on anyone," a voice said from behind them," or we'll know who to come to."

"You shouldn't sneak up on people, Jack, it's not polite."

Jack laughed.

They spent most of the day playing round the house. The boys went out in one of the rowing boats with John.

Jack went up to Danny's room and started to pack up his clothes. Rose came up to help him," I'm sorry you can't come to Ireland with us Jack. Could you not leave Danny with us?"

"Sorry Mum but after Cairo I can't take any chances." How could he explain to his mum that the tablet that had been found by SG-4 could only be translated by Danny. He was worried about how he was going to break the news to Danny. "If we're lucky we might get to come back for the last day. Jacob can fly us over in his private plane. If you could keep Johnny down stairs while I tell Danny."

"Of course dear, here they come now." She went down stairs and told Danny Jack wanted to speak to him in his bedroom.

Danny was nearly in tears when he came into the room. "What's wrong?" Jack asked rushing over to his side and gathering him up into a cuddle.

"Are you going to spank me?" he asked a tear dripping down his face. "I know I shouldn't have taken the money."

"No Danny. It's not about that. Come on dry your eyes." He pulled out a handkerchief and wiped his face. "The phone call I got was from General Hammond, he needs us back ASAP."

"What?"

"I know, he didn't want to recall us but he had no choice. SG-4 brought back a tablet and you're the only one that can translate it."

"But Jack?" he started to whine.

"Sorry, we have to go. I know you've been enjoying yourself, but after we come back from the ceilidh we have to leave." Danny had cheered up that he was getting to go to the ceilidh. "And as for being punished for taking the money, I think you punished yourself enough. Unless you want a sp.."

"No!"

That night they had a great time. Although they didn't know any of the dances they joined in every one. No one seemed to mind that they went the wrong way or stood on someone's foot. It was great fun.

After eating Roddy stood up, " I just want to say thank you to Jack O'Neill and his family for looking after my young cousin. I'm so glad they brought him here so I could meet him. I'd like to show him an entry in the family bible."

It said : Daniel Jackson O'Neill, son of Daniel Jackson and Sha're born 1994 in Egypt.

"Thank you, Roddy," Danny said giving him a big hug.

"And you'll always be welcome here, you and your family."

Danny felt so happy. Now he had two families who really wanted him

It was very late by the time they got back to the house. The boys were still wearing the kilts. Jacob and Sam were waiting for them. Rose put Johnny into bed as John took Jack and Danny's bags down.

Rose gave Jack and Danny a big kiss each. "We'll hopefully see you in Ireland later."

"If we can," Jack said. John shook his hand and kissed Danny.

"Stay out of trouble, " he said to Danny.

"I always do. It's Jack that gets me into trouble." Everyone laughed.

"I left the car at the top of the road," Jacob said.

They walked up the road and Jacob hit a button on a remote control. His ship appeared and they all got in. "We'll be at the SGC in 10 minutes," he said.
