Daniel sat in the infirmary as a nurse bandaged up his hand for him. It wasn't broken thank goodness, but he wouldn't be able to write properly for a few days.

"There you go Doctor Jackson." The nurse told him. "Good as new."

"Thank you." He replied examining the bandaging, his hand obviously swollen underneath as the nurse left to monitor another patient.

"That'll teach you not to use the wall as a punch bag won't it Daniel." Came a soft voice from the doorway.

"Jack told me you were here." She added, noticing the confused look on his face as she walked over to him and sat next to him on the bed.

"He told you about our chat huh."

"All he told me was where to find you, and that we should talk." Janet replied looking at him with her soft brown eyes.

Daniel turned to face her. She was still in civvies, a pair of jeans, a vest top and a denim jacket. She looked beautiful.

"Look I'm sorry I walked out of that briefing, you must think I'm a real jerk or something." Daniel told her.

"No, I don't." Janet told him sincerely.

"I just...we've only really just started to spend time together Janet and then to find out we have kids and we're married..."

"It's a lot to deal with, I know." She replied fiddling with her rings.

"Just a little." He told her with a small nod, then starting to fiddle himself.

"Daniel can I ask you something?" she asked, turning to face him and looking right into his eyes.

"Sure."

"When he told us...about us and Kelly. What did it make you feel?"

"Apart from shocked...Janet I don't know. I mean it didn't scare me. It didn't even surprise me that much. It just felt weird you know, but not wrong if that makes any sense."

Janet looked down at her hands again.

"What about you?" Daniel asked her curiously.

She looked straight up at him.

"Weird...but no it didn't feel wrong. It felt...knowing that, Daniel it felt...it felt kinda nice." She told him shyly.

Daniel smiled.

For a minute they sat there quietly not knowing what to say.

"I'm going to do this Daniel." She suddenly told him.

"You're what?" he asked quickly turning around.

"I'm going to go through with the surgery." She told him again.

"Janet..."

"Daniel, Kelly's our daughter whether you like it or not. Now when Cass was sick I couldn't help and I felt awful, I felt really bad. I can help Kelly, my counterpart can't and there is no way I'm going to let her lose her child through this."

"Janet I understand that. I understand why you feel you have to do this, because of Cass and because of us being her parents. I just...Janet I don't think you should."

"What? Daniel how can you say that?" she asked him shocked.

"I don't want her to die Janet, no more than you, or our counterparts. It's just this is major surgery and I don't think you should put yourself through this."

"I can't believe this is coming out of your mouth. An innocent child is dying, our child, and you're sitting here and telling me not to help her. You're telling me to let her die."

"That's not what I'm saying Janet. What I'm saying is that after everything lately I don't think you should..."

"I don't care what you think Daniel." Janet snapped. "You have absolutely no say in my life and you can't change my mind about this. If I have to go through this on my own I will because I will not let that child die. I never thought you could be so cruel." She added loudly before quickly getting off the bed and storming towards the door.

"I'm only saying it..."

She stormed out.

"Because I love you damn it. I don't want to lose you." He said even more quietly to the empty room then hitting the bed with his other fist.

"Ooooowwww." He shouted as that one became just as bruised as the other.
