AUTHORS NOTE: Written for the November 28th Jackfic drabble word 'Gobble'. Thanks to my beta, Cokie.
"What's that?" Jack asked his son, pointing to a picture in a book.
"Turkey!"
"And what does a turkey say?"
"Gobble, gobble." The two-year-old old yelled happily.
"That's right. Who's going to help Mommy cook the turkey today?"
Charlie squirmed excitedly in his father's lap. "Me, me!"
Jack laughed and set Charlie down. The toddler took off running into the kitchen. Jack laughed again as he followed. Sara was at the sink cleaning the turkey.
"You've got a young recruit looking for a mission," he said as Charlie latched himself onto his mother's leg.
Jack took a seat at the table as mother and son went about their tasks.
Neither of them was particularly religious, but every year Jack and Sara said what they were thankful for just before they ate.
This year he knew exactly what he'd say.
This year, he was home.
