Ok I got Daniel's birthday from an SG ep (Holiday I think) if it's not right then I'm sorry.

When they were inside they sat down in the den to talk. "I don't know where to begin, there's so much I want to know about you, your life everything." Jack began

"I know what you mean, I hardly know anything about you."

"You probably know more than I do, at least you knew where I lived, I don't even know your full name of your birthday."

"Well that's easy I'm 13, my birthday's July 8th." Jack broke into a broad grin "what?"

"I just found out why she called you Daniel. It's Daniel's birthday on July 8th too."

"Well that clears that up, and my full name is Daniel Jonathan Charlie Carter." Dan saw Jack's face cloud over. "What have I said wrong?"

"She didn't feel the need to tell me about you but she named you after me and your brother. My name's Jonathan, nobody calls me Jonathan its always Jack but that's my name and Charlie's my other son. I can't believe she did that I lost one son and now she takes another away from me. How could she?" Jack shouted angrily.

"Look I don't know why, but it can't be changed now. I'm here now and you're not the only one that's gone without, I haven't had a father, but you seem to have a sense of humour unlike the substitute so I'm gunna see if you'll make a good dad."

"You know you sound just like her, she could always calm me down and make me see sense. She did a good job with you, that's for sure." Jack's eyes betrayed the sentiment behind his words.

"I'll get a big head now. And anyway it's my turn now, favourite sport"

"Hockey"

"Now that's cool. Mom can't stand it and Pete's not really into sports, I'd call him a bit of a geek, you know the kid that'd stay in reading instead of playing basketball with his mates."

"Yeah I know the type. Danny was one of those. He used to be a real geek, I always had to watch him on missions, he had a knack of finding trouble. What with him and trying to watch your mom with her doo-hickys I have no idea how we survived so long. Luckily Daniel actually listened to me and grew up and now he's like my brother."

"I never knew mom went on missions that were dangerous, she never really talked about it much and I never really saw any reason to pry. I suppose you still work there."

"Yep, we were the flag ship team, the first ones sent into danger but we always got out ok but it's all classified so I can't tell you much, but I'm now the commander of the base which means no more missions."

"So long hours then"

"Unfortunately, well not as long as they used to be but I'm on call pretty much 24 hours a day but I only live about 10 minutes away so it's not too bad and the people I work with are amazing so I do get quite a bit of free time which is usually taken up with doing things with Cal, looking after Jonas's kids and decorating upstairs for their bedrooms of course."

"Sounds like fun if you ever need any help then just ask."

"You really shouldn't have said that I'm gunna expect you to keep your word now."

"Fine by me just tell me when and I'll be there and if I have to miss school then..."

"No son of mine'll be missing school cuz of some paint, nope we'll do it on the weekends or after school. We can make it a regular thing if you want. Anyway when do you start school?"

"I start the new one next week and it doesn't seem to be too bad I already met a few people that go there and they seem ok and luckily Pete couldn't get a job there so that's good."

"You really don't like him do you?"

"No. I dunno what it is but I always had a bad feeling bout him and it still hasn't gone away."

"In experience I've found it's best to listen to your gut instincts they have a habit of being right. So keep an eye on him, your mom's too special to be mucked around and don't tell her about meeting me from the sound of it she just wants to forget and I respect her for it."

Once the swabs had been taken from the inside their mouths Jack gave Dan a lift back to Mark's. "So I'll see you tomorrow and you can take me up on that work offer and meet you brother."

"You bet ya Jack." The tests came back positive Dan was Jack's son.

Another chapter done, yay!!!!
