This is the last chapter. I want to thank everybody who had read this story, and I still don't own Stargate or any of its characters.
The funeral for Juliette Burns was a small and moving one. SG-1 and Generals Landry & O'Neill all attended for Daniel and Dani, whom they had all grown to love as their own. After the funeral SG-1 and O'Neill went back to Dani's house with Daniel. Neighbors and church members provided them with enough food to feed everybody at the SGC.
Dani's grandmother had come from Tennessee for the funeral, and all of them had been staying in Dani's house. After arriving at the house from the funeral, both grandma and Dani went to their rooms while Daniel talked with his friends in the living room.
Everybody had gotten some food to eat. Jack had six different slices of pie. When Sam said something about it he said, "I like pie," and that was that. Sam began the conversation, "So Daniel, how is everything going?"
He paused for a second before answering, "I think I'm doing OK. Last night Dani, Mrs. Burns, and I met with Juliette's lawyer for the reading of the will. She left some money for her mom, the house to Dani, and she wants me to take care of Dani. We all talked it over and I'm going to move in here and try to make this all work. Mrs. Burns is leaving tomorrow, so…" Daniel trailed off.
"Wow, that's a lot to handle," was all Carter could think of to say.
"If you need help moving Teal'c can help with the big stuff and the rest of us will help with the rest." O'Neill volunteered.
"I would be happy to render my assistance Daniel Jackson," Teal'c said confirming Jack's idea.
Daniel still looked troubled and Jack who never skirted an issue came right out and said, "There's something wrong still. I can see it. What's up?"
Daniel sighed, "I don't know what to do about Dani and my job. You all know sometimes we are gone for weeks, heck I've even died several times. Who will be here for her? She does not deserve to be an orphan. I could resign from SG-1 and take desk duty, or quit all together. I just don't know what to do. I hate to admit it, but I love being on the front lines. I don't really want to quit."
They all sat there musing over the problem for a while then Teal'c spoke up, "The answer is simple Daniel Jackson." That got everybody's attention. "You simply bring Danielle with you to work." That did sound like the best solution. Daniel would be able to keep his place on SG-1 and Dani would not be worrying about where Daniel was all the time.
"Ya know Teal'c. I think that is a great idea! I am going to go and see if I can get started on getting her security clearance," O'Neill said getting up.
After looking around a few minutes Jack finally gave up and asked, "OK, where's the phone?" Everyone had to laugh at Jack's antics. Carter got up, "I'll help you find it Jack," and off they went.
Two days later Dani and Daniel were in front of Cheyenne Mountain preparing to go in. Daniel turned to Dani, "This is going to be better than your wildest dream," and with that they walked in together.
