Ok now that I have finished responding to your reviews I'll go on to the chapter.

By the time the movie was over Janet had crawled into Daniels lap and Rachel was asleep with her head in Johns lap. Daniel gently pushed Janet off his lap and got up to rewind the tap and turn the TV off. Once he had that done he turned back to John and smiled at how cute his little sister looked asleep in his lap.

"Hey John why don't you take her to bed, she should be pretty comfortable in those sweets so just leave her in that. I'm going to wake Janny up and see if she wants to stay here tonight, since she looks pretty tired." Daniel said.

"Ok, sounds like a good idea." John said as he ran his hand through Rachel's hair.

He then gently lifted her head up and stood up, bent back over and picked her up. Once he was sure she was in a good position he walked into her room, pulled the covers back and laid her down. As she settled into the bed he covered her up and kissed her on the cheek.

back in the living room

Once John had taken Rachel to her room Daniel walked back over to Janet and set down next to her on the floor. He reached up and brushed some of her hair out of her face. She looked so peaceful and sweet he didn't want to wake her up. But he knew that if he didn't at least ask she'd probably take the jack needles out on his next post mission check up and he didn't want to have to deal with those things. So he took a deep breath and gently shook her shoulders.

"Janny wake up, for a minute sweetie." He said gently.

She groaned and opened her eyes, "What time is it?" She asked.

He looked over at the VCR that was actually set, "About 11:30." He told her.

She groaned and set up, "Crap how long has the movie been over?" She asked.

"About ten minutes." He said.

She sighed and looked at him, "I guess I need to head home before it gets to late don't I?" She asked.

"No, if you're too tired you can stay here, you look pretty tired. I don't want you driving if you tired." He said taking her small hand into his bigger one.

She smiled at him, "You don't mind?" She asked.

"No, I'd rather you stay here than worry about you getting home." He said rubbing her hand with his thumb.

"Do you have something I can sleep in?" She asked.

"I'll find something for you." He said softly.

"Ok." She said and yawned.

"Good I really didn't want to let you go." He said raising up and kissing her.

"Ok I didn't know it was possible but you're more protective of me than I am of SG1." She said laughing.

Daniel laughed, "I don't know if that is possible. Maybe just as protective as you are with SG1." He said, "That's pretty protective."

"Yea especially for someone who is 5'2." She said sarcastically.

"Ahh Janny your no fun, you need a little protection from me. Unless you have a needle." He said laughing. "I like being protective."

She grinned and hugged him, "I like you being protective to."

He smiled and hugged her back, "Come on I'm going to find you something to wear so you can go back to sleep. Then I'm going to check on John and Rach."

At the mention of Rachel, Janet went into Doctor Mode, "Maybe I should go with you. I want to make sure her leg isn't hurting."

"Why don't I ask her, or if you really want to ask her yourself, I can get you something to wear, go check on her and you can meet me in there." He suggested.

"Ok I can deal with that." She said and grinned.

"Ok then come on, lets find you something to wear." He said and pulled her towards his room.

A few minutes later he had found her some sweats to wear and had guided her to the bathroom. He then went into Rachel's room and laughed as the two were playfully fighting on the bed.

"Do you two really think that you should be doing that with Rachel's leg?" He said and laughed as the two jumped about three feet in the air.

"Daniel!!" Rachel screamed, "You scared the HELL out of me!!!"

"I'm sorry." He said.

"No your not," Rachel said.

"Why am I having a flash back to the infirmary this morning," came a voice behind Daniel.

Daniel laughed and turned to her, "Oh Janet you missed a funny. When I came in here these two were play fighting. I came in and said 'do you really think you should be doing that with Rachel's leg.' It scared the hell out of the both of them, and Rachel let me know it." He said laughing, "then we went into our 'sorry', 'no your not' thing and that's when you walked it." He finished.

Janet laughed, "That's pretty good. Although it was pretty mean to, but funny," She said.

Rachel glared, "Did you want something?" She asked sarcastically.

"Well I wanted to check up on you, make sure you didn't need anything before I went to bed. Janet here wanted to make sure your leg wasn't hurting you." Daniel said.

"I'm fine, I don't need anything and no my leg doesn't hurt. I'm just tired." Rachel said.

"And Grumpy," Daniel muttered.

"I heard that Daniel." Rachel growled crawling gingerly on the bed so she didn't hit her knee.

Janet saw what she was about to do and reacted. "WOW ok you two cut it out. Daniel, go get ready for bed, I'll be there in a minute."

"Yes ma'm." Daniel said sarcastically, "See you in the morning squirt." He said and then ran out when she tried to pounce on him again.

"Ass hole," Rachel said when he left, and Janet and John laughed.

Janet then walked over and set down next to her, "Hey Rach why don't you set down before you fall off the bed."

Rachel smiled and did what Janet suggested. John smiled and realizing that they needed some time started for the door. When he got there he turned around and looked at them.

"Hey girls I'm going to go get a drink, do you want one?" He asked.

"I wouldn't mind some water." Rachel said.

"Ok one water. What about you Janet" He asked.

"Yea water would be nice. Thanks John." She said.

He smiled at them, "No problem," and with that he was out the door.

Janet then turned back to Rachel and smiled, "So is your brother always like that to you?"

"Most of the time yea, he was just being a butt head today, all day, well off and on. The rest of the time he is really sweet. I think he wanted to see how mad he could get me, and see how far on my bad leg he could get me to go.¨ she said laughing.

"Well don't let him get to you right now. But as soon as your leg is better, beat him up all you want." Janet said.

Rachel grinned, "Ok."

"Good, now I'm going to send John back in here and you get some sleep. Ok?" Janet said partly as a doctor and partly as a friend.

"Ok." She said smiling.

Janet smiled back and left the room, telling John to get in there. John smiled handed her, her water and went into the room

Rachel had scooted back to her spot on the bed was almost asleep. John smiled and turned the light out, shut the door and went over to the bed and lay down next to her.

When she felt him get in she rolled over and curled up next to him, he laughed and pulled her gently closer to him wrapping his arms around her. He looked down at her to ask her something and saw that she was already sound asleep. He bent his head and kissed her on the cheek and with one hand brushing some of her hair off her face.

"Night angel, see you in the morning." He whispered and closed his eyes.

the next morning

About 9:00 the next morning Daniel woke up to the phone ringing. He pulled away from Janet and picked the phone off his stand up and answered it.

"Hello?" he said," Oh hey Generalâ€yea she's doing fine she's still asleepâ€yea he isâ€ok, ok, give me some time to change and get Rach and John to John's house so they have a car and I'll be thereâ€yea when he left the last time, Rach and I took it to his houseâ€Yea see you soon sir..Bye."

He set up and grumbled to himself, "Crap."

"What is it?" Janet asked half awake.

He turned to her, "I got to get back to the base, for a briefing and mission. They need you to."

She groaned, "Crap." She said echoing his thoughts.

He laughed, "My thoughts exactly."

Janet laughed, "What about John and Rachel?"

"Hammond is going to give me enough time to get changed and them to John's house. His car is there." Daniel said.

"Ok." Janet said, "Do you want me to wait for you?"

"No unless you want to. I got to get Rachel upâ€that could take a little bitâ€unless I tickle her." He said grinning evilly.

"NOO!" Janet said

"Ahh but Janet, I wont hurt her." He wined.

"Ok but gently, and if you make her kick something you can have Jacks needles for the post mission." She said and his eyes went huge.

"I swear I won't hurt her, on purpose. I'll try coxing her out of it first." He said and she laughed.

"Good, now I'm going to go change." She said reaching up and kissing him.

He grinned, "Need help?"

"Down boy, you're needed at the SGC soon remember, go get your sister." She said laughing.

"Yea ok," He said kissing her again and leaving the room.

He walked to Rachel's room and knocked on the door, not expecting a response. When he didn't get one he went in and smiled at what he saw. Rachel was wrapped up in John's arms fast asleep. He decided to wake John up and tell him what was going on and then maybe seeing if they could wake her up together.

He reached and gently shook John's shoulders, "John, wake up." He said.

John jumped a little bit and turned a little bit, "What is it?" He asked.

"Hammond just called, they need me at the SGC, a mission came up. Hammond told me that I had plenty of time to get you and Rach to you house." He said.

John nodded and looked at Rachel, "So I guess we need to wake her up don't we?"

"Yep, and get her some cloths to." Daniel said.

"Yea that would be good to." John said smirking.

"Want to help me wake her up?" Daniel said ignoring the smirk on John's face.

"Sure." John said.

Daniel walked to the other side of the bed and set down, "Rachy wake up." He said gently patting her shoulder.

"No." She whimpered.

"Baby, he's going to take us to my house cause he needs to get to the SGC. A mission came up and he needs to go. You can go back to sleep when we get there, ok?" John said brushing her hair out of her face.

"Err." She growled, "Ok."

"Good girl," Daniel said. "I'm going to pack you some cloths."

"Ok." She said knowing he would pack the other things, like brush and tooth bush too.

Daniel smiled and went to back a bag for her while she woke up a little better.

Rachel set up a little and looked down at what she had on, "Damn I have to put some real clothes on don't I?"

John laughed, "It might be a good idea." He said.

She sighed, "Ok."

Just then Janet came in and sighed, "Was he nice?"

"Huh?" Rachel asked confused.

"Daniel, when he woke you up, was he nice?" Janet said.

"Yeaâ€Why?" Rachel asked.

"He wanted to tickle you awake and I told him if he made you hurt your leg I was going to take out the needles, that are usually are for Jack, for his post mission check up." Janet said laughing.

Rachel laughed, "Nice, but yea he was good."

"Damnâ€I mean good." Janet said and Rachel laughed.

Janet laughed also and looked at what Rachel was wearing, "Hmm do you need help putting something other then a jersey on?"

"I don't want to but yea†I probably should." Rachel said agreeing to Janet's question.

"I'll go help Danny." John said and left so that Janet could help Rachel.

Hour Later

An hour later, Rachel was dressed and ready to go, and Janet had already left for the SGC. John was helping her down the hall to the elevator and Daniel was holding the elevator.

"You ok Rach?" John asked when she stopped a little ways from the elevator.

"Yea just needed to stop for a sec. I'm ok now." She said and started up again.

"Ok good." He said and followed her.

A few minutes later they were down stairs and in Daniels car. When Daniel was sure she was comfortable he started the car and drove the short distance to John's apartments. When they got there John helped Rachel out while Daniel got her bag and they made there way to the apartment.

When they got there John opened the door and led them into his apartment.

"Where do you want to put this?" Daniel asked holding up her bag.

"Huhâ€oh my room is in there." John said and Daniel glared. "Do you want me to leave her alone? We were told not to leave her alone incase she needed something."

"Yea alright," Daniel said and went to put the bag in John's room and then came back. "Well I got to go, Hammond expecting me now."

Rachel hobbled over to Daniel and hugged him, "Be careful Danny." She said.

"I will Rach I promise." He told her.

"Ok." She said still clinging to him.

"Hey I'll come back. I'll be back in a couple days." He told her.

"You don't know that." She said.

Daniel took a deep breath and guided her over to the couch and set her down. He kneeled down in front of her and gave her an encouraging smile.

"Your right I don't know that, but I do know that I will do my best to get back here. I'm not going to leave without a fight. Rachel I just got you back into my life a little more than a month ago, I'm not going to loose a chance to spend time with my little sister by not doing all I can to get back to you. So I'll do my best to get back." He told her, "You hear me?" He asked.

She smiled, "Ok I hear you."

"Good now I need a hug and then I really need to go." He said pulling her into a gently hug.

She hugged him back and then he pulled back, "John get your lanky but back in here!" Daniel hollered and Rachel laughed.

John came in, "Yes." He said sarcastically.

"I got to go; you take care of her you hear?" Daniel said putting on a big brother front.

John laughed, "Yes Daniel, I'll take care of her. I promise, now go before Hammond sends a team looking for you, or worse a pissed off Jack."

Daniel cringed, "Yea I will." He said kissing Rachel's check and heading for the door.

"Hey Daniel, make sure you keep the promise to Rachel, I hate seeing her cry." John said seriously.

Daniel smiled as he opened the door, "I will."

He then went out the door closing it behind him. John turned back to Rachel and walked over to her and set down next to her, wrapping an arm around her shoulders.

"You ok?" He asked her.

"Yea just having some memories that aren't very good," She said laying her head on his chest.

"When he descended?" He asked.

"Yea," She said, "He was going to come see me after that mission, but then he didn't, I knew something was wrong and asked my CO. He told me that Daniel had been exposed to Radiation and hadn't survived. My heart broke into about a billion pieces and I locked my self into my quarters. A few days later, Danny appeared to me and told me he was ok and that he had told me he was going to come see me and he wasn't breaking that promise. He told me the whole story and said that he would be watching over me. He then told me he had to go and that if he could he'd come see me again, well appear to me. I nodded and he left. I set on my bed for a little while and then got up and cleaned up and left my room and went to my CO. He smiled and asked if I was ready to come back on duty and I said yes. I felt better knowing that Danny was watching over me. Then about eight months later he came back only in real life. I was in shock and he laughed and explained what happened. We went back to a normal life and then it wasn't long after that I met you." She told him.

"Wow I never heard that from you, just from Daniel." He said rubbing her arm gently. "Sounds pretty rough."

"Yea it was for a while." She said, "But it's all good now. As long as he doesn't do that again."

"I don't think he well, he missed you to much while you were at the pentagon." He told her.

"Yea, I know." She said and cuddled up to him. "John?"

"Yea Princess?" He asked her.

"Can we be lazy today? Lay here and watch TV." She asked.

"Sounds good to me," He said pulling her onto his lap and sprawling out onto the couch. He reached over and grabbed the remote to his TV and turned it on.

"Cool." She said getting into a comfortable position, laying her head on his chest and looking at the TV as he searched for something to watch.

He found something that he knew they both liked and put the remote down and placed his other hand around her waist.

Several hours later

Several hours later and many movies, junk food and cokes, and a couple make out sessions, John and Rachel were both fast asleep with the TV still on. John woke up and smiled at the sprawled out position Rachel was in. He looked over at the clock and saw that it was past midnight. He gently shock Rachel trying to get her to wake up.

"Rachy, wake up sweetie." He said gently into her ear.

"No" She said.

"Rachel lets go to bed, you'll be more comfortable that way." He said rubbing her back.

"Yeaâ€ok." She said, and set up and tried to stand up, but fell back.

"Wow none of that little one don't want to wake up the Doc," He said, standing up and picking her up.

She giggled and laid her head on his shoulder, while he walked them into his room. He gently laid her down on his bed and went to dig something out of his closet. A few minutes later he emerged and handed her a jersey.

"Thought you might like to wear a jersey, know you usually do." He told her and she grinned at him.

"Thanks John," She said.

"No prob, need help getting into it?" He asked honestly.

"I don't think so." She said grinning at him.

"Ok then I'm going to go change, I'll be right back." He said.

"Ok." She said.

He left to the bathroom to change and she started herself. A few minutes later he came back in the room and saw that she was into the jersey and was lying down.

He walked over to the bed and laid down next to her, he reached out and rubbed her stomach, "Hey, I have a question for you." He said.

She looked over at him, "What?"

"Do you want to go out for a little bit tomorrow?" He asked continuing to rub her stomach.

"Yea that sounds good." She said liking the idea.

"Good than it's a date." He said leaning forward and giving her a kiss. "Now come here and let's go back to sleep."

She scooted over to him and laid her head on his chest as he wrapped her up in his protective arms. "Sounds good to me," She said closing her eyes and drifting off.

He smiled, "Night princess." He said and drifted off himself.
