Buffy really wished Daniel was in his office with her at this moment, not just because she enjoyed his company but because he really should be the one to deal with "Uncle" Jack. General Jack O'Neill had come for a briefing on the latest developments, both with the Russians and what news Vala brought. Apparently General Landry had mentioned that Buffy Summers was going to be assigned base duties for the net nine months. General O'Neill wasn't stupid so he came and found her. Now Buffy was telling the good General news that Daniel should have.

"Miss Summers, or can I call you Buffy?" Jack asked.

"Go ahead call me Buffy." She replied.

"All right, Buffy. Why exactly did Hank tell me you would be stuck on world for the next nine months?" Jack dared her to give him a straight answer.

Buffy looked at the swords on the wall. She would wish to be elsewhere but she doesn't use the W-word anymore. Besides, what ever happened it would be much, much worse if she did. So she took a deep breath, "What do you think he meant?" Buffy stared into the General's eyes until he looked away.

"I take it you're expecting." Jack finally answered.

"Yes," Buffy replied

"Does Daniel know?" Jack inquired.

"Yes, not that it is any of your business." Buffy said evenly. "Why would you even ask?"

"Just to make sure you hadn't broken his heart." Jack stated simply.

"You were protecting your friend which is why you don't have a broken arm right now." Buffy returned.

"I'm happy for you both, but have you discussed what you are going to do about it?" Jack asked.

"I'm keeping it if that is what you're asking General. Daniel also asked me to marry him and I said yes. We haven't really had a chance to figure out how or when but it will be soon." Buffy was uncomfortable telling such personal things o the man ultimately in charge of her job but then again he was Daniel's best friend so he was entitled to the same information she had told Willow last night.

"I'd better get an invite." Jack said as he picked up his hat from the counter.

"You will." Buffy smiled.

"Now I have to get back to D.C. A mountain of paperwork awaits me including some about you and Daniel." Jack said as left.

All in all Buffy was relieved that the conversation had gone well. She would be sure to warn Daniel when he got back, that Jack was going to grill him. But that was Daniel's problem and Buffy had a training session to get to.
