Author's Note: Heads up Danny's still being a jerk. Ugh...Actually more of one than I anticipated in this chapter. But since I don't think he'd be totally on board with Jason just yet, I can't quite get him out of that. However, Cameron is not happy about Danny's attitude around Jake and confronts Danny. Please note the turn of events at the end of this chapter will end up bringing forward progress to the Danny/Jason relationship. It's a little two steps forward, three steps back.

At the park, Danny sat with his bag under the tree. He pulled out his phone and ignored Jake and Jason.

"Put the phone away," Jason said.

"Come on, Danny," Jake said, "Let's play ball."

Danny shrugged, "I don't want to."

"Catch," Jake said, throwing the ball at Danny. Danny wasn't fast enough and the ball knocked his phone out of his hands.

"You did that on purpose," Danny said.

"It was an accident," Jake said, "You were supposed to catch the ball."

Jason picked up Danny's phone off the ground, "It's fine, it still works."

Danny went to grab it and Jason put the phone in his pocket.

"That's my phone," Danny said.

"Grab your mitt," Jason said, "You can play games or text your friends later."

Danny glared at Jason and sat back by the tree.

Jason walked over to Danny, "Drew mentioned you were hoping to work on your pitching. We could do that."

"i may have to be here, but it doesn't mean I have to participate," Danny said, "I'll work on my pitching at practice."

"Just give Danny his stupid phone back," Jake said, "So he at least has something to do while he sulks."

"I am not sulking," Danny muttered.

"Whatever," Jake said, rolling his eyes.

Jason pulled Danny's phone out of his pocket and hesitated, "Could you at least play catch for a few minutes for Jake?"

"Hey Jake," Danny said, "Want to see my new game?"

Jake looked torn between Jason and Danny.

"Go ahead," Jason said, nodding towards Danny.

Jake sat next to Danny. Jason watched the two of them until Cameron and Trina showed up.

"My friends are here," Danny said and took off after Cam and Trina, "I want to see if they know how Oscar is."

"Hold on…"Jason started to say as Danny dodged him. Danny's actions did not go unnoticed by Cam and Trina.

"What about the game?" Jake asked.

"We can still play catch," Jason said, nodding at one of the guards to follow Danny. He planned to take up Danny's actions with him later.

"Why is Danny such a butthead?" Jake asked.

"First off, let's not call your brother a butthead," Jason said, trying not to laugh, "No matter how mad he makes you.

"Well, he is," Jake said, "I thought he was done being mad at you after he finally spent a night at your house."

"He's still mad," Jason said.

"Why?" Jake asked.

"I'm still trying to figure that out," Jason said.

"Next time Danny's with us," Jake said, "Maybe we should do something inside, so he can't run away."

"I'll keep that in mind," Jason said.

Meanwhile, Danny approached Cameron & Trina.

"Aren't you supposed to be with Jake and your dad today?" Cam asked.

"I am. They're right over there," Danny said.

"I know you have some sort of beef with your dad," Trina said, "But your little brother looks upset that you left. "

"Can you seriously not suck it up for Jake's sake for a few hours?" Cam said, seeing Jake half heartedly play catch with Jason.

"That's rich coming from you," Danny said, "You're not exactly warm and fuzzy with Franco."

"He's my stepdad, not my dad," Cam said, "There's a big difference. We're not asking you to make nice with your stepmom."

"In fact no one is," Trina said.

"Even I suck it up enough for Jake and Aidan," Cam said, "But from what I can tell everyone is bending over backwards to try keep you happy in all of this, but you don't seem to even care."

Danny lunged and shoved Cameron, "You don't know anything about me."

"I don't personally care what you do," Cam said, shoving Danny back "Except when it hurts my little brother."

"Is everything okay over here?" Jason asked, having seen Danny and Cam shoving.

"It's fine," Cam said, "Right, Danny?"

Danny nodded.

Jason didn't buy it, "Look, I don't want this anymore messed up for Jake than it already it. We'll pretend I buy that for now and discuss your behavior later, Danny."

"My behavior," Danny snorted.

"Seriously, Danny," Jason replied, "You're still grounded. If you want to keep this up, we'll talk with your mom about extending how long that's for."

"There won't be anymore attitude," Trina said, "Right, Danny. Right Cam?"

"Danny, this is the only warning you're getting," Jason said and headed back over to Jake.

"Or what you'll take me home," Danny yelled after Jason.

"Like that's going to happen," Trina said, "When your Dad knows that's exactly what you want. If I talked to my dad the way you talk to your's…."

Trina shook her head.

"Let's get out of here," Danny said.

Cameron blocked his path, "What the hell is your problem?"

"You're in my way," Danny said.

"No, We're settling this," Cam said, "I don't want to see or hear about you taking attitude when Jake's around again. We're figuring this out here and now."

"Not to mention Bruno over there will probably stop you," Trina said, "If your Dad doesn't first."

"Are you really so angry at Jason the you can't figure out how to coexist with Jake or at least tolerate your step siblings?" Cam asked, "What are you going to do when your new brother or sister's born? Pretend he or she doesn't exist because of whatever?"

"Of course not," Danny yelled.

"Cam's right," Trina said, "Because like it or not you're about share another sibling not just with Jake but with your step siblings too. That new sibling won't know anything about the past and your parents. All they're going to know is they have an older brother that's jerk to his brothers and sisters. By the way, thanks to Alyssa's play by play she gave Joss about the night you found her, I know you're capable of being decent human being. Your cousin has a serious case of hero worship."

"I wasn't going to leave her without a guard or with Aunt Kristina and that creep," Danny said, rolling his eyes.

"i heard you made her and brothers breakfast when their mom was sick," Trina said.

"He did what?" Cam said, "Dude, you can't just do that now? Throw the ball with Jake and your Dad and go home. If you have to be a jerk do it when it's just you and your Dad. Jake was really excited about spending time with both of you today."

"You wouldn't understand," Danny said, before running off.

While Jason ran after Cameron, Cam and Trina stayed with Jake.

"Come on," Cameron said, "I'll play."

"That's okay," Jake said, "Do you think Mom would let me spend the night at Dad's tonight?"

"We can always ask," Cam said, "Is there any particular reason?"

"Dad said that Jared and Jamie were having a campout in their back yard," Jake said, "and a campfire. That sounds like fun, more fun than watching Danny sulk."

Jake made sure Danny heard that last part as Jason brought him back.

"Dad, since Danny's not any fun," Jake said, "Can I spend the night with you and go to the campfire?"

"Danny, get in the car," Jason said, "I'll take you home after I drop Jake off either at his house or at mine."

Danny picked up his bag and ran to the car. Cam and Trina followed after him.

"Let me call your mom and see if you can stay the night," Jason said. Jason called Liz and explained the situation. Liz agreed to let Jake spend the night.

"Alright, buddy, one campfire and marshmallows coming up," Jason said, "How do you feel about being dropped off first? After I drop Danny off, I'll go pick up anything you need for the night."

"Awesome," Jake said, grabbing his stuff and running for the car, "I don't need anything, I left a bag of spare stuff at your place."

By the time, Jason got to the car, Jake had climbed in. The guard was standing outside the car.

"We have a situation," the guard said, "There's not enough room for everyone in the car. This vehicle only fits five. We have six."

"What do you mean six?" Jason asked, opening the car door to find Danny seated between Cam and Jake in the back seat. Trina was sitting in the front seat.

"What are you all doing in here?" Jason asked.

"Going to your campfire," Trina said.

"Danny said it sounded like a lot of fun," Cam said, "If that's okay."

"I made Danny promise to behave," Jake said.

Jason looked at Danny who just slumped in his seat.

"If you want to go home, Danny," Jason said, "I won't make you come over."

Danny shrugged.

"Oh, he's going," Cam said, "If you could stop by mine and Jake's house, we can pick up a few things for the campout. Danny can borrow some of my stuff if he needs to."

"Oh and can Josslyn come?" Trina asked, "if I can pry her away from Oscar's bedside long enough to make a smore."
