Daniel knew he was in for a grilling without Buffy having to say a word when he saw Jack with the others who greeted the Odyssey. Daniel could tell from the side long glances that Jack was giving Buffy that Jack knew about the baby. He had successfully put the conversation off until after the official briefing but now he was alone in his office. He knew that Jack wouldn't be long in finding him. He had no sooner finished the thought than Jack entered the office.

"So I guess congratulations are in order," Jack started as he settled in for a long chat.

"Thanks," Daniel accepted with resignation. "Go ahead and say it."

"You got Buffy knocked up and now you're marrying her. Isn't that backwards?" Jack asked.

"According to the prevailing social mores and norms yes, but we didn't plan it. It just sort of happened." Daniel answered. He noticed that Jack was about to say something but he forestalled him. "I know I'm getting married because an accident again. But I want to marry Buffy."

"But last we spoke, you weren't sure of your feelings for her." Jack mentioned. "Has that changed, not that I really want to talk feelings and things. But I just want you to find some happiness."

"I know, Jack. I appreciate it. My feelings," Daniel smiled amused at Jack's feigned twitching at those words. "My feelings have grown since we last spoke. It is no where near what I felt for Sha're but Buffy makes me happy."

"Is it Buffy or the coming child that makes you happy?" Jack asked. "Because if it is just the child . . ."

"It isn't just the baby. Buffy had me smiling and laughing more than I had in all the time since Abydos. Rest assured that I have feelings for her." Daniel said evenly.

"Good. Now how about that wedding?" Jack asked.

"We were thinking Vegas sometime between missions, really soon. We'll let you know." Daniel answered. "We still have to get her friends there too so we'll need at least a week free."

"Sounds like a plan." Jack concluded. "How about some cake before I leave?"

"Sure." Daniel replied as he followed Jack out of the office.
