Title: Be careful what you wish for
Summary: It's one of those future fanfics (set seven years into the future) about the long awaited return to Earth. Only the conditions under which John returns aren't really ideal. In fact he spends all of his time home trying to find a way to get back, not just for his sake, but for that of his daughter.

Be Careful What You Wish For
Teething troubles
Breiyden stared at the ancient with a mixture of confusion and disgust. She hadn't understood what the old lady had meant by 'transported', but she could understand that it meant this being had caused the pain she had felt.
" Transported them?" Deacon demanded coming forward. " To where exactly?" The ancient turned her attention on him.
" Who are you child?" was all she said.
" Deacon Dregon," Deacon barked back. " You were saying?"
" Yes I transported them to the planet Earth," the ancient said simply. Breiyden felt her jaw drop open.
" Earth?" she gasped. " Why did you do that?"
" My dear child, you have to understand that I grow bored of my eternal slumber, so on occasion I will grant the wish of a passer-by," the ancient said. " In this occasion, the wish to be returned to this planet was so strong that it wakened me from my slumber. I granted it immediately.
Breiyden and Deacon stared at each other in amazement.

The rest of the trip to Jack's house went by quickly. Jamie didn't wake again and Rachel and Alison kept John amused with stories of their children, their husbands and their lives. In some ways it made John very sad to think that he missed out on a lifetime of memories, but he was just happy to be able to experience them now.
John had learnt that Rachel had married a high school maths teacher and that Alison had married a police officer. Rachel and her husband Jake had three little girls aged seven, four and two. Alison and her husband Rob had three kids also, eight-year-old twin boys and a six year old daughter. John couldn't wait to meet them, though he was apprehensive about how Jamie would react to them.
Back on Moya Jamie would risk her life willingly to save her companions, but she didn't mix well with other children they had discovered when during a temporary truce the family had taken a break to the entertainment world of Axor. Jamie had got in a bad fight with the children there because she wasn't willing to share anything with these foreign children.
Soon enough the car drove up the long drive to Jack's house. Rachel and Alison had called ahead to make sure that their families would be waiting. As the car pulled up outside the house the front door opened and a whole swarm of children burst out into the front garden. John couldn't help but smile when he saw them all.
" They look. hyperactive," he told his sisters, who smiled warmly at him and nodded in a 'you-don't-know-the-half-of-it' kind of way. John then opened the door and let Jamie climb out. The children instantly ran over to her and started jumping around her. John was impressed by how calm she remained. Her usual attitude would have been hostile, but he had told her in 'alien' as they pulled up that he would let her play with D'Argo's Qualta blade the second they got back if she'd only be nice to her cousins.
John greeted his brothers-in-law and thought to himself that they seemed like respectable men.
The arrival nearly went off without a hitch, when all of a sudden a great big barking Dalmation came out of nowhere and leapt up at John. John ignored it and it went next for Jamie. Now the closest thing to a dog that Jamie had ever seen had tried to eat her, so she didn't greet this one so lightly.
" Get away!" she shouted in a mixture of Luxan and Delvian, John instantly realised she was terrified and was about to attack the dog if it did got any closer.
" Call it off!" he ordered the terrified onlookers and he rushed forward and picked Jamie up. She was shaking out of fear. " Jamie it's not one of those hound things we last saw okay? It's just a harmless dog!"
" Then why did it try and attack me?" she demanded in Delvian (a language she reserved for when she was either feeling totally relaxed and at ease, or when she was terrified).
" It's just being friendly kid, it's not attacking you!" he said softly and he pressed his forehead against hers.
" I don't like it," she whimpered refusing to calm down, it seemed all of her emotions that she'd kept pent up these last two days were coming out now and she was tired, because it was past midnight.
" Jamie look at me," John ordered and she looked him in the eye, their identical blue eyes locking gaze. " I promise you that this dog is not going to try and eat you! Trust me," he said in the most soothing tone he could muster up. Jamie trembled a little more, but then she swallowed hard and nodded. " Good girl," John said and he kissed her forehead before putting her back down on her feet. Jamie still didn't trust the dog, but she trusted John, so she grabbed his hand and stared determinedly at something other than the dog, trying to ignore it and her fear.
John then turned on the assembly of terrified looking family members.
" The last time she saw something that resembled a dog, it tried to eat her," he told them and the adults nodded wearily. The kids however, were pretty shaken up and their parents took them to bed straight away.
Jack then showed John to the room he could share with Jamie. It was a lovely big room, which had a massive king sized bed, a single bed, a sofa, a rocking chair and a TV in it, and it had its own balcony and an en-suite bathroom.
" Here you go son, just make yourself at home in here," Jack said fondly. John turned on his father and smiled.
" When did you get this place, it's huge!" John finally said, grinning from ear to ear.
" About three years ago, so I could settle down and have all the grandkids come to stay at Thanksgiving and Christmas!" Jack chuckled and then he turned slightly more serious. " It is so good to see you again son!" John felt tears stinging his eyes, he hadn't realised how much he'd missed his old man.
John was about to say something he had been meaning to tell Jack the whole time he had been away, when all of a sudden the TV turned on blaring out at full volume. Jamie had evidently figured out how the TV worked, but she still had to master volume control. John rushed over to her and quickly turned it down.
" What is it?" Jamie asked in delight when she saw that a cartoon was playing.
" It's a TV," John said smiling at her and then he walked back to Jack, who was looking as though Christmas had come early, but their emotional moment was gone.
" You get yourselves settled in, I'll see you in the morning!" Jack said smiling and then he closed the door. John smiled to himself sadly before turning on Jamie.
" Come here munchkin," he said collapsing into the rocking chair. Jamie rushed to his open arms and snuggled down into his lap. John then started rocking and humming a tune that Aeryn used to get the children to go to sleep. Both of them were asleep before he had finished it.
* * *
" So you grant wishes?" Breiyden finally managed to stutter.
" No I do not," came the aloof reply.
" Then why did you grant John's?" Breiyden asked angrily. " Do you have nay idea what you've done? You've ruined everything!"
The ancient sensed great emotion and grief in the girl that stood in front of her. They were such powerful feelings that even she was affected by them. She was beginning to feel guilty.
" Is there no way that we can go over there and get them?" Deacon asked, seeing that his young friend was getting upset.
The ancient frowned and pondered the two Sebations for a while.
" Yes there is a way," she said eventually. " But you will only have one chance to get it right!"
* * *
Jamie stared at the large building in front of her uneasily. It hadn't been the best of mornings. Firstly she had a sore back from falling asleep in a weird position. Then she'd been forced to have a bath because she was dirty. Then she got ambushed in the corridor by her cousins and she'd nearly attacked them in surprise, luckily John came along just in time to stop her. Breakfast had been disgusting (and Jamie thought nothing could get worse than food cubes!) and now they were standing outside this. what had they called it, a mall.
Getting Jamie new clothes and shoes was a priority (all of John's stuff was stored in the attic at Jack's house, so he had clothes and shoes aplenty). John could recognise this, but Jamie was reluctant to say the least. She insisted on going back to the IASA base to get her bag from the module, but that was out of the question.
She had shouted all morning that she wasn't going out where there were too many people and in the end John had picked her up and forced her into the car, where she continued to shout profanities in Luxan and occasionally in Hynerian.
She calmed down after a while, but was refusing to talk to anyone as they stood outside the mall waiting for Jack to put money in the parking meter.
" I'm sorry Jay, but this is for your own good," John told her for the tenth time in five minutes. Jamie completely ignored him and crossed her arms. Rachel had come along to help out with her seven-year-old Chloe, and she gave John a sympathetic look.
" She'll come round," she said softly. John raised his eyebrows and didn't think that was likely to be any time soon, but he didn't say anything.
Finally Jack was doen with the parking meter and they all made their way into the shopping mall.
" Right I have to go and do a few things, so how about we meet back here in about an hour and a half?" Jack suggested. The others nodded and they went their separate ways.
Rachel and Chloe led John and Jamie to Gap kids. Chloe loved clothes shopping and she instantly strayed from the others and started walking through the aisles fingering all the clothes.
" Don't go too far sweetie," Rachel called after her daughter. Then she turned on her brother and niece. " Right, she's going to need some jeans or something."
And so the morning progressed. Jamie nearly threw another fit right there in the middle of the shop when she was told she had to try some jeans on, but John coaxed her out of it and even managed to get her to try them on. She liked the jeans and so they bought her three pairs of assorted jeans.
They left gap with enough T-shirts, underwear, trousers and socks to keep her going and after a quick visit to a shoe shop and another clothes shop they had two pairs of shoes and some pyjamas for her (though they weren't technically pyjamas - Jamie had objected violently to the pink and purple pyjamas with cartoon characters on them, so they bought her some grey baggy sporty trousers and some vests - similar to what she slept in on Moya).
After that they bought John some new things and then they were done.
" We're fifteen minutes early, how about we go get some ice cream down at the café," Rachel suggested and Chloe started bouncing around happily. John smiled and nodded. It had been a while since he'd had ice cream!
So they made their way tot he café and sat down whilst Rachel ordered the ice cream. While she was away Chloe sat staring at Jamie.
" What is it?" Jamie asked eventually, managing to keep the anger she felt out of her voice.
" You don't look like an alien," Chloe said after a while. Jamie flashed a warning look at John.
" That's because I'm not an alien!" Jamie said firmly.
" Yeah you are!" Chloe retorted loudly.
" No, I'm not!"
The argument continued until John noticed that people were beginning to stare, so he interrupted by asking Chloe to tell Jamie about the hottest new toys. Jamie glared at her father in a 'like-I-care-about-human-toys' was, but she didn't object.
Soon Rachel was back and she handed everyone a cone with three balls of ice cream on them. Chloe dug into hers quickly, Rachel ate hers delicately, Jamie waited eagerly for her father to start, but John was staring at the ice cream. Everything had happened in a blur so far, and he hadn't stopped to think about it. He was back on Earth, doing human things, but it all felt so awkward and false. or at least totally different to how he had imagined it would be returning. Even simple tasks seemed totally alien to him and it scared him. maybe he would never fit in here!
" John it's melting all over your hand," Rachel told her brother. John jumped and noticed she was indeed right. It had run all the way down his wrist and looking down at Jamie he noticed she'd let hers do the same. She was looking at him with worried expression. she had no idea how to behave here, so he had to pull himself together and show her the right example.
After wiping the melted ice cream off his hands and arms he quickly wiped Jamie's and then he gave the ice cream a tentative lick. It tasted so good! Jamie was still watching him apprehensively.
" Go on try it," he laughed and she looked at it worriedly. John had never seen her so nervous, but eventually she stuck out her tongue slowly and licked it.
She instantly dropped it and jumped out of the chair putting as much distance between her and the ice cream as possible.
" It's cold!" she cried in Delvian. " Its freezing, dad you made me eat something cold!" John winced and he knew instantly what was wrong. He put his own ice cream in the stand and got up to calm her down.
" Jamie please I'm sorry, I wasn't thinking!" he said quickly and grabbed her flailing arms. She was glaring up at him maliciously.
" You made me eat something cold!" she hissed at him and he could see tears welling up in her eyes.
Jamie never went near anything cold. When she was four cycles old she had been captured and held prisoner on a freezing cold asteroid laboratory, where she starved for days on end until she was finally force-fed disgusting freezing cold meals. Ever since she had hated being cold, but more so, she hated eating anything cold.
" I'm so sorry Jamie, I really wasn't thinking," he repeated and Jamie slowly began to calm down and she became aware of everyone staring at her. She knew she had to say something. anything.
" I'm allergic to that flavour," she told them. They didn't look convinced, but at least they weren't looking terrified. John gave Rachel an urgent look and she quickly picked up the shopping bags and led Chloe out of the café following John and Jamie.
What a day this was turning out to be!

Breiyden led Deacon to the rendezvous point with a beaming smile on her face. She had found the way they were going to rescue John and Jamie, when Aeryn hadn't wanted her to come along.
When they reached the pod they found they were the first ones to reach it and they sat down on the steps to wait.
" Kid can I suggest that you don't give Aeryn the 'I told you so' speech, I can't be responsible for you if Aeryn decides to take your head off," he said grimly. Breiyden smiled and nodded.
" Deal," she said happily and they sat in silence until the other finally arrived, none of them were looking very happy. Deacon nudged Breiyden in the ribs with his elbow and she quickly jumped to her feet and faced Aeryn.
" I know what happened to the module," she said firmly. Everyone stopped what they were doing and stared at her.
" What?" Aeryn asked sounding deadly.
" An ancient. well Goddess really, of these remains transported them to Earth, because she felt John's underlying desire to return home," Breiyden replied. Everyone stared at her blankly. " Wait there's more, she's granted us the power to go over there and get them!" Now everyone was looking incredulous.
" She's telling the truth, we can show you to the cavern where the ancient resides if you want?" Deacon said standing up.
" How are we going to travel to Earth?" Aeryn demanded.
" With this," Breiyden answered pulling the necklace the ancient had given her out from underneath her shirt.
