Jack hadn't asked. He'd told. He came in after his dive, swooping appropriately this time, and he gathered up Jackson. Tosh had a basket of mysterious and wonderful things, which Jack couldn't have cared less about...except it meant that he could take the baby for a while since there were a couple bottles.

"Now that's a sight that never fails to make me smile," Daniel said softly, smiling and moving close enough to see both. "How's Jackson?"

"Sleeping," Jack answered softly. "For now, anyway. He was looking around when we walked up here."

"What was that you were singing?" he asked, keeping his voice quiet now that he knew that Jackson was sleeping. "Sounded Japanese." Which really didn't surprise him, considering Jackson's parentage.

"Oh, yeah," he nodded. "It's a traditional lullaby. From the Edo period," he said, smiling fondly against Jackson's hair. "...You speak Japanese?"

Daniel chuckled. "I'm teaching Tosh's Japanese class in her absence." He could have also pointed out that he'd responded to the Japanese woman when Jack'd had the wand, but he didn't. No need to bring up potentially unhappy memories.

"Oh, right," he nodded. "I knew that. Have you ever heard it before? The song?"

Daniel shook his head. "Not that I remember. And I've definitely never heard you sing it before."

"Mmm, I knew this woman once..." he said, but didn't go any farther into a story, starting to sing, instead.

Jack always knew a woman, but Daniel just shook his head and smiled, leaning against the bookshelf and listening to Jack sing. Now that he and Jack weren't arguing, he was in a much better mood. For once, things were pretty good.

When he finished, he paused for a minute as he continued to rub Jackson's back slowly. "Not bad, huh?"

"Not bad at all," he agreed. "He's lucky to have you looking out for him."

"He's got a lot of people," Jack pointed out. "I'm just the meanest."

Daniel snorted. "You're a pussy cat." He knew differently, of course, but most of the time, Jack didn't show just how nasty he could get.

"Only when it suits me," he replied, looking up at Daniel. He smiled softly as Jackson squrmed and whimpered, then settled against Jack's chest. "How was your hangover?"

"Then I must be lucky." He winced at the mention of a hangover. "Let's just say that I forgot to grab water and painkillers and leave it at that." He shook his head ruefully. "It was my own fault, I suppose."

"You're lucky I cut the hypervodka," he grinned. "You'd still be down if I hadn't." Okay, it was a slight exageration, but not by much.
