Jack proceeds to sit by Daniel, only staring out at the lake with him. The silence between the two are doable. They both make an added effort not to look or speak to each other.

Jack turned, trying not to be angry with his friend. "Awww Daniel; Sam is going to eat me alive if I don't fix this, and just so you know, Vala is crying."

That made Daniel turn. "You had to go there. So I made Vala cry. Is that your point?"

"No, just I know you Daniel and making Vala cry is not something you would take lightly. So tell me what did I do wrong to piss you off?"

"Nothing."

"Nothing my ass. You directed your anger at me specifically. I mean I'm usually the one being an ass, but you…..you are Mr. Nice guy, Mr. Communication, Mr…..

"I'm…I'm scared Jack….scared. There I said it, happy now?"

"No." Smirked Jack.

"God you can be such a …

"We've already been thru the Jack is an ass, so what else is bothering you?"

Daniel spoke angrily. "Can't you see what's happening? Everyone is happy, everyone is getting married and soon you and Sam are going to have a baby."

Jack sat back confused. "So being happy is a bad thing, huh Daniel?"

Daniel turned back to looking towards the lake. "Yes….happiness is not something I'm…..comfortable with."

"Sometimes Daniel, I just want to hit you and just…..well, hit you. What could possibly be so wrong with all of us being happy for once?"

"Everything." Daniel shot back.

"Daniel, I'm not good at guessing what you're thinking. But this is making me a little crazy. Just spit out what's going on in that little space monkey brain of yours."

Daniel looked up at the sky, as if looking for some sign from the universe.

Jack placed a hand on Daniel's shoulder. "Come on buddy, what's really wrong?"

Daniel hung his head almost in defeat. "This can't be…I mean my….mom and dad were happy and our life was happy and then…..It's just a disaster waiting to happen Jack. I mean I'm an educated man and I shouldn't …..I…..it's too good to be true."

Jack now understood. "So you're scared that something is going to happen to Vala and you and you put us all in the same category for disaster."

Daniel sat quite, not wanting to answer.

"Alright, this is for your own good Daniel." Jack swung and punched Daniel to the ground.

"Owww, what the hell was that for?" Rubbing his jaw.

"Of all the asinine things to say Daniel. You have beautiful women in there that completely loves you, baggage and all. I have beautiful women in there that's going to have my baby and giving me a second chance at a family. Teal'c is just ecstatic to be with Ishta, and I actually like her. Cam and Dr. Lam are just….well just good together and you sit out here sulking over something that may or may not happen. Could you once not think about being doomed and pull us all down with you? I can't even begin to understand why you even asked Vala to marry you if you thought it would turn out bad."

"I….I…..

"That's all you have to say…...well?"

"Sometimes Daniel you're just… just, a Daniel."

Jack walked away angry, not even looking back. Once inside he saw Sam and Vala at the door.

"Ugggghh…that…..ugggh….your man." Pointing at Daniel.

Both women watched Jack walk away, perplexed at what happened and why Jack had punched Daniel. It took Sam every ounce of strength to restrain Vala from going after Jack for punching Daniel.

"Please Sam, let me go. I need to see what's wrong with Daniel."

"Alright,I'll go see what Jack said. Those two; I'm going to kill them both myself. And Vala, things will be alright,ok."

Vala nodded while running to Daniel.
