Chapter 6-2.5

Back at the Hebert household.

Danny was wallowing in his depression, after all he wasn't the kind of parent that wondered why his kids didn't want to talk to them any more. He knew why. One doesn't keep a secret like that and not expect it to backfire. Although yesterday was probably the greatest in a while. He saw his daughter again for the first time in nearly two weeks. The only good thing to come out of this trial.

The news crews outside was rather annoying to deal with though.

Outside suddenly got louder and Danny could've sworn he heard some cheering.

"What in the hell is going on out there?" Danny mutters

A second later there is a strong and resounding knock on the front door.

"The news crew should know not to come up and bother me…" Danny says walking over to the door.

Danny makes his way across the house and swings open the front door ready to yell at the one disturbing him while he was trying to think.

"Hi Dad… Long time no see?" Taylor asks uncomfortably standing by the door.

"You are shorter than you used to be." Danny says

"Yeah, before I woke up as a ship and got my memories of the wars... I was mostly human after all." Taylor admits

Danny decides to ignore Taylor's trauma and hugs his daughter.

"Welcome home Taylor." Danny says

"Danny... Dad, I'm older than you." Taylor says

"You will always be my daughter. You may have 15 battle stars however you will always be my daughter." Danny says

"23 Dad.... Vietnam and Korea." Taylor says

"So are you moving back in?" Danny asks

"Dad, I'm nearly 70. On top of that according to Georgia. Old age won't be the thing to get me. Unfortunately there will be no grandkids either. " Taylor says

Danny feels the world falling down around him.

"You know, we should've expected this. Your mother always said you were special. However even I don't think she knew just how special you were." Danny says

"I have a girlfriend. I think, our actual status hasn't been worked out yet." Taylor says

"Taylor, I've known you were gay for awhile." Danny admits.

"What? I didn't even really know." Taylor asks dumbfounded.

"Really Taylor, how many times did you get married to Emma while playing house. You even tried to wear my Tux." Danny says

Taylor flinches before blushing remembering the old days.

"That doesn't mean anything." Taylor says

"Of course however there are the other signs too." Danny says

"What other signs?" Taylor asks

"I honestly don't know however Annette saw them." Danny says with a smirk.

Taylor is silent trying to think.

"So when can I meet Amy?" Danny asks

"Stop by the dorms at the Docks, she's there whenever she has a fight with her foster mother." Taylor admits.

"That often?" Danny asks a little concerned

"Too often in my opinion..." Taylor whispers.
