a/n: yeah, second chapter already :) Hope you all like it.
To say Henry Jones jr. – or Indiana Jones, as he preferred to be called – was shocked, would miss the point entirely. Whe he had seen the girl standing at the door, he thought her to be a new student, trying to get to know him more 'intimatly'. When she told him, she was his daughter, he could not deicide whether to throw her out or to suffer from a laughing fit. But she looked so damn serious – and he was far too paralyzed to do any of it.
Her voice shook him out of his thoughts. "Dr. Jones?" she asked. "Are you alright?"
Indiana took a deep breath and mumbled: "Yeah, sure. Why not? Why don't you start telling me everything from the beginning?"
She nodded and said: All right. My name is Kayla Algren and I'm 19 years old. When my twin brother and I ..."
The name Algren touched something in his memory which he could not grasp right now. But when she said 'twin brother', he interrupted her: "Wait, wait: your twin brother?"
She nodded with a sly smile and answered: "Yeah, my twin brother Kevin."
Indiana was at a loss for words for a moment and just stared at her: she was tall, had long blond hair and hazel eyes. She was slender and had some freckles on her nose. She was not smiling anymore but looked at him with bright eyes. Suddenly it hit him.
"Your mother is Jessica!" he said, shock and emotion vivid in his voice.
"Was Jessica", Kayla corrected, hiding the sorrow in her voice pretty good. "She died a year ago."
Indiana did not know why these news still touched him so much after twenty years. He and Jessica had been a couple in late 1936 but it did not quite work out between the two of them. Both of them were too stubborn and dominant in their relationship. But that she hid a pregnancy from him?
"When were you born?" he asked Kayla.
"September 19th 1937", she answered, "six months after you split up with my mother."
That was true, Indy remembered. It had been a cold winter's day just like today when Indy had told Jessica that their relationship did not work anymore. As far as he knew, she moved away from Boston almost immediately.
"And your brother, Kevin?" he asked, almost afraid of the answer.
"He could not make it here by today", Kayla answered. "But his plan is scheduled to land on Monday morning."

guess as to the sword was pretty good :)
