"You have no idea how much I've missed you Jack."
Jack nodded, he had forgiven his older brother for abandoning him almost twenty years ago, at a time when he needed him more than anything else. He was still shocked he had found the strength to do so, but inside it felt right, it was like his grandfather had told him when he was young, 'blood is thicker than water... don't ever forget that Jacky boy, you and Danny, you two stick together...' Jack briefly smiled to himself at the irony of it. That was the only memory he had of his grandfather, he was around ten at the time, and he passed away shortly afterwards. That left only his parents and brother as living relatives. Four years later they died, and then Danny left him. They hadn't stuck together for a long time, he thought, he had been alone for a long time. During that time, before Terri and Kim, he had often wondered what he was supposed to do when their was no blood, only water. Was that good enough? He sighed to himself, it was time to come clean.
"Danny, I .... I blamed you all those years ago.... I know part of it was your fault, the fight, the whole deal, but.... I guess I blamed you for everything that went wrong once you were gone.... it was..... it was just easier I guess... easier to deal with things, to push stuff out of my head.... and over all these years its just got worse... I should have never joined in.... I know its not all your fault... I am responsible too." He looked down, it wasn't often he spoke so deeply, but he needed to get it out, he needed Daniel to understand he had forgiven him truly, before he began to ask him about the whole ordeal he had been through, and Danny's involvement in it.
Daniel appeared to be choked up, he swallowed before replying, "Thanks Jack. I know the majority of it was down to me..." He broke off to let out a slight chuckle, " Well most of it was because of me, but.... thank you. You have no idea how much that means to me."
Jack nodded then closed his eyes, he needed to know what was going on, he just didn't want to loose his new found link with his brother, like he had for so long. He didn't want to be alone anymore. He had finally got some blood back, he thought, and he didn't want it to turn into water.
