A/N: Happy New Year. My New Years Resolution is to not make up a New Years Resolution, oh man, I failed. For the record Katherine, the whole I'm late thing I did not get from a movie I made it up! Yes, I've actually said or done something original! I didn't copy Holden's speech in Chasing Amy, I didn't copy any random lines from Dogma, and I didn't use stuff from Chuckie's boring speeches in Good Will Hunting. Yes, I Sara came up with an original idea of my own... Maybe that would have been a better New Years Resolution. Oh well...Here's more!!!

Everyday that Evelyn seemed to get bigger Danny seemed to become wiser. His walk was now sturdy and his first word he said was "Dada," Evelyn could have sworn she saw Rafe tear up when they heard Danny slur it repeatedly as he reached out for Rafe from his crib. Rafe only picked the boy up cuddling him a bit as Danny softly cooed "Dada," falling back asleep. Evelyn had come to terms that Danny would always love this father the most out of anybody in the family; they had a strange connection like Rafe had once had with Danny Senior.

Danny's birthday came in late July and they had a simple little cake that Rafe helped blow the candle out on. Rafe gave Danny another model plane to continue on his collection and Evelyn made his a quilt of a plane. Evelyn was coming along well on her pregnancy and was beginning to show.

That night Rafe took Danny outside to look at the monument he had put up for Danny during his trip to Washington. Rafe sat down on the warm dry grass as Danny sat in his lap looking up at the massive stone. "See here Danny," Rafe said pointing to it, "this is where your real daddy is, not here behind you."

Danny just turned around and started laughing pulling on Rafe's nose, "Don't you see Danny," Rafe said trying not to laugh, "I want you to know who your real dad is, I don't want in fifteen years for you to hate me for lying to you 'bout being your father." Danny continued to laugh as he kissed Rafe on his nose. "You're making this very difficult little man," Rafe said finally laughing.

"I wuv you Dada," Danny said wrapping his arms around Rafe's neck.

"I love you too," Rafe responded, "so are you excited about your little brother or sister coming soon?"

Danny nodded excitedly. "Well don't worry kid, just because this is my real kid doesn't mean I'm gonna love you two any differently, cuz you're my Mr. Big Boy (Katherine begins to laugh)."

"Flowa," Danny said pointing to the black-eyed Susan's that lined the monument. He got up and walked towards them. Rafe then stood up turning to see Evelyn standing behind him. He smiled as she wrapped his arms behind him putting her head on his shoulder.

"So how much did you hear?" He snickered.

"Well," she replied, "enough to know that you're going to be the best father our kids could have." He smiled placing his hands over hers. Danny continued to inspect the flowers oblivious to what the purpose of the monument was even after Rafe had told him.

Rafe looked over at his shiny red plane. The one that he had loved for so long, his father took him up for his first flight in that plane, and he and Danny Senior had taken their own first flight in that plane as well. Rafe had not flown in over a year now and longed to do so. He looked down at Danny as he picked off the petals of a flower; he resembled his father so much with his dark bowl cut hair and his big brown eyes. "Hey Danny," he paused as Danny looked up at him, "ya wanna go up?"

Danny nodded anxiously; he had always wondered what the point of the big red plane was he pointed at it as Rafe picked him up bringing him to the cockpit of the plane. "Now wear this," Rafe said placing his old flying cap on Danny's head from when he was a kid, "it scares the German Bandits away." Rafe climbed in and helped Danny into the cockpit as well. Evelyn looked own nervously Rafe had not flown since the day he had taught her how to fly and hadn't flown that plane since he was a teen. But Rafe, being the great pilot he was took off gently as they soared through the sunset of Tennessee.

Evelyn placed her hand on her belly as she rubbed it gently, "This is home," she whispered as she turned to Danny's monument. She placed her hand on it for a moment and then looked up to the sky, "thank you," she said.
