A/n: Just saw crystal Skull and thought I heard that Daniel was 8 when his parents died. Oh well. Now he was 5 because I can wright for 6 year olds better (thanks to my little brother. How do you think Roarer came about?)
After that first night the nightmares appeared to taper off- at least, the screaming did. The days settled into a sort of routine. School went surprisingly well for him and after school, Jack would normally take Danny down to the base. THere had been a slight problem with gettin ghim past the guards, but not a big one since everybody liked him. He had finally gotten over his awe at the size of Teal'c and managed to pester him into playing hide and seek around the base. Teal'c had surprised everybody by agreeing. The bigger surprise came when General Hammond had hid the boy under his desk and then told of Teal'c for even _suggesting_ that he would hide a six year when he had _Ver Important Work_ to do.
Danny looked at Jack as a father and Sam as a mother. This had been a source of amusement for Janet Teal'c and Hammond because that would mean that they were married. JAck and Sam just ignored them the best they could.
The days went by and one night Jack suddenly realized with shock that it was 1 day till the next full moon. He stopped drying the dished from dinner and stood in the doorway, watching Danny draw in the other room. He froze and quickly went to kneel behind Danny.
"What are you drawing?" he asked, deceptively calm.
"Just some pictures I thought of." Danny said, showing him the piece of paper. Jack's stomach dropped out from under him. Danny had drawn the gate adresses for Abydos and Earth.
"Look, Danny, Daniel," Danny looked up at that. THe use of his full name always ment that he was in trouble or that something was wrong.
"HOw many of these glyphs do you know?"
"Glyphs?" Jack sighed.
"THese pictures. Let's just pretend for a moment that they're called Glyphs, okay? How many can you think of? Can you draw them for me?" He could and he did. He knew most of them, including some adresses, Abydos, Earth, Chulak, the other Earth gate and some others that JAck recognized form their missions.
"Danny?" Jack said, "These are very good, but You can't show them or draw them for anyone but me or Sam or Teal'c or Mr. HAmmond or Janet, okay?"
"Okay," he said slowly. Jack could tell thet he didn't understand why.
"Daniel," he said firmly, "I need you to do this for me, okay?"
"Sure." he said. Of course he'd do it if Jack needed him to.
"Thanks." Jack said with relief and went to finish the dishes.
Right after Danny went to school, Jack drove to the SGC to report to Hammond. During breakfast, he had asked some cryptic questions and found that Danny knew more than the six year old should about the planets they ahd been to and the Stargate.
"He knows most of the glyphs." Jack said to Hammond. "He knows quite a few adresses, he knows about Shau'ri- nothing specific, just that he's lost someone besides his parents- it's nothing that would conflict with his life as a six year old, but it's there."
"Tomorrow is the next full moon." Janet said. "That might explain it. He might change back tonight."
"Do you know for sure?" HAmmond asked. Janet was silent, but Sam spoke up.
"From what Danok told the colonel, it's sounds possible."
"I could keep him in the infirmary tonight, just to be sure." Hammond nodded his acceptance.
"All right then."
Later that night, DAnny ran down the corridors of the SGC to where Teal'c was.
"Can we play hide and seek?" he asked. Sam intervened.
"I think that Janet wants to see you know." she said. She took him by the hand to make sure he didn't run off to anywhere he wasn't supposed to be and led him to the infirmary. He scowled up at her.
"I know where it is." he said.
"So? If I let you go I might never find you again. It's a big base and you could probably hide anywhere." Danny didn't deny it and they arrived at the infirmary.
"I just want you to sleep here for tonight, to make sure you're healthy. WHy don't you change into this for now." Janet said and handed him one of those hospital robes that trailed behind him when he had it on.
"Come on." Sam said, liftin ghim to the bed. "It's bed time."
"What about Roarer?" Danny asked. A soft, stuffed missile came from the door and landed besides Danny.
"He wouldn't hear of you sleeping alone." Jack said from the door. "Don't worry, Janet will be here and so will I, so go to sleep."
Danny settled down, secure in the knowledge that the lion would be besides him as would the one person he had grown to trust in his young mind more than anyone. Sam tiptoed out and silence descended.
JAck woke up in the stiff chair he had unwisely fallen asleep in, looked down at the bed beside him and yelped. Danny wasn't in it, like he had expected. Instead, a full grown Daniel Jackson was there, looking surprisingly pale.
"Sir?" Sam queried from the door. Janet was right behind her. Jack just sat speechless and gestured to the bed. THey both came over and Teal'c appeared from no where.
Daniel stirred and his eyes opened slowly.
"Danny?"
"Jaaack!" Daniel groaned, complainig about the use of his name.
"Sorry, Daniel?" Daniel groaned again and put a hand to his head.
"Where am I?" he asked. Nobody answered him because he already knew. Janet took over.
"What's the last thing you remember?" she asked.
"Stepping out on Px322, Danok the natives..." He trailed off and put a hand to his head. "Headache. Big headache." he groaned again. "What happened?"
"That," Jack said "Is a very long story."
