I decided to add a second part to this. I wish we could've seen the conversation between Danny and Kara when they decided she should rejoin the Nathan James. Hope you enjoy!

Danny walked up to the door that was labeled Commander Green. He smiled despite the long challenging night he'd just had. He loved being married to Kara and was so proud to have to salute her now. He gave a soft knock and then tried the door; It was locked.

"Of course," he muttered taking out the key she'd given him earlier that day. He slid the key into the lock and quietly walked into the double room. The first room was a living area with a couch and small tv and kitchenette, the second room off to the left had a full sized bed. He had to admit he was happy with the living arrangements for his family on this base. He noticed Debbie asleep on the couch, something he was sure happened more often than he realized. He covered her with the blanket from the back of the couch and then moved into the bedroom. Frankie's pack-n-play that was set up in the corner, was empty and Kara was propped up on her side running a finger along the little one's chubby cheek as he slept in the middle of the bed.

"Hey," he said softly as he shut the door.

"Hey, get everyone re-established?" she wondered not taking her eyes off Frankie. Danny nodded taking off his thigh holster.

"Yeah, we posted a few extra gaurds at the entrances, but most of the locals ran once the shooting started," Danny answered as he set his two side arms on top of the dresser, out of Frankie's reach, but still within reach of him, if he needed them in a hurry.

"That's good," Kara nodded. Danny slipped his boots off and walked over to the other side of the bed. He laid on his side, facing Kara and Frankie.

"Did you want to shower?" she wondered taking in his uniform. Danny sighed and shook his head.

"I just want to stay with you guys. I'll shower in the morning," he answered. Kara nodded and then let out a sigh. She wouldn't meet his eyes and Danny knew something was up. He reached over and cupped her cheek.

"What's on your mind, sweetheart?" he asked. Kara closed her eyes at his touch and took a deep breath.

"I... I'm... I'm going to ask Capitan Slattery if I can rejoin the James," she said seriously. Danny drew back his hand and looked at Frankie.

"Kar, we've talked about this. Since Frankie," he began. Kara nodded and sat up, careful not to disturb the sleeping babe between them.

"I know, but that was before the food shortage and tonight... Cameron is... He's not going to be back on the James anytime soon and you guys need a TAO. With all the shit that's going down here," she began. Danny stood up and paced the small room a few times.

"I'm sorry, I know it seems like I'm abandoning Frankie, but I talked it over with my mom and she... They are flying back to Norfolk first thing in the morning. They'll be safer there. I just," Kara trailed off and Danny looked at her, his look softening.

"I understand, believe me. I just... You are the one person, who I trust Frankie's life with completely, but I know we need you on the James," Danny agreed. Kara sighed and shook her head.

"It's killing me to send him back without me, but I know it's safer for him," she answered. Danny gave her a sharp nod and put his hands on his hips.

"I know," Danny agreed.

"Then why do you look so pissed? Please, tell me if you have a better answer to this situation?" she asked hesitantly.

"It's not that. I'm not mad at you. I just... This world is going to hell, again," Danny began rubbing a hand over his face. Kara moved towards him and put her hands on his chest.

"We are going to fix this. We've done it before," she said seriously. Danny nodded.

"I feel like it was easier before. He was younger and I... He's more aware that we are leaving him," Danny sighed. Kara shook her head.

"We don't have a choice," she said and she motioned to the sleeping boy on the bed.

"We have to do this, for him," she whispered. Danny nodded and pulled her into a kiss.

"You think Slattery will go for this?" he wondered. Kara sighed and shook her head.

"I don't really think he has a choice. I'm the only TAO option right now with the backround on the James," she said. Danny nodded.

"Frankie will be ok," Danny said as she stared at their son. Kara nodded and a tear fell down her cheek.

"It's too dangerous for him here. He needs to be sheltered away from us, even though it kills me to say that," she whispered.

"You are a terrific mom, Kara. You've done the job of two parents for the last eight months," Danny told her. Kara sighed and he pulled her to him. They stood like that for a few minutes, taking in each other's comfort and silence.

"I don't think I can say good bye to him again," she admitted. Her mind flashing back to his infancy when she sent him away with her mom and Jed to keep him safe from Alison Shaw.

"It'll be ok. We can facetime him as long as we aren't at EMCON and we'll be back before he knows it," Danny assured her.

"How is it that now you are talking me into this when five minutes ago it was me trying to convince you to let me do this?" Kara wondered with a smirk. Danny chuckled.

"Because I know that you need me to reassure you," he told her. Kara nodded and kissed him softly. She made a face as his beard tickled her chin and she tugged at his beard.

"It's going to be hard to get use to seeing this thing everday," she smirked. Danny smiled and shook his head.

"Burke and Miller had a bet going on how quick you would make me shave," he admitted. Kara rolled her eyes and chuckled.

"I'm not a fan of how long it is, but I still think you are pretty attractive," she told him. Danny smiled and pulled her into a kiss.

"Danny," she whispered as his and began to wonder to her backside.

"Yeah," he said.

"There's a sleeping kiddo in our bed," she reminded him. He chuckled and nodded.

"I'm aware. I guess I have to get use to seeing you every day and treating you like just another superior officer," he said with a look. Kara laughed lightly and shook her head.

"No fraternization on this cruise, Lieutenant Green. I want to give Frankie a silbing, but let's wait until all is right with the world again," she said with a smile. Danny nodded.

"I couldn't agree more. Come on. Let's try to get some sleep," he said. Kara nodded and moved back to her side of the bed. Danny stripped down and got in on the other side.

"I don't usually let him sleep with me, but tonight, it's more for my piece of mind. Sorry," she whispered rubbing her hand on the baby's shark pj covered belly. Danny smirked and nodded.

"I understand," Danny answered.

"God. He's so perfect," he commented running a hand along Frankie's sleeping face. Kara nodded.

"He sure is," Kara agreed letting her hand rest on Frankie's rising and falling chest.

"Everything is going to be ok, Kara," Danny told her. She nodded as she relaxed into her pillow.

"I hope so," she sighed. Danny laid his hand on her hip and took in the amazing feeling of his family being safe at the moment.

Thank you for reading! Hope you enjoyed this addition.
