Queensfolk: Worth a Shot (Jack Daniels/Agent Whiskey)

"Mommy!"

"Hey Baby!" She leaned down and scooped him up in a big hug as he ran into her arms. 

"I missed you!"

"Oh Jackie, I missed you too-" She hugged him tighter.  Then she turned to Jack, who was standing back a little ways, and then looked back at her son - at their son. "Jackie, there's someone very special I'd like you to meet: this is my good friend, Jack."

A huge smile lit up the little boy's face. "Hey! That's my name too!"

Jack chuckled.  "So I've heard. Very nice to meet you young man." He held out his hand, and little Jackie looked extremely excited and proud to shake it, just like grownups did. 

"How do you know my Mommy? Do you work together? She works with a lot of people."

"Well, about that, let's talk." Of course, they were going to break the news to him gently, as gently as was possible with such a big-ass reveal such as this.  She took her son's hand and led him over to a bench. 

"What is it, Mommy?" he asked as they sat down. 

"Well-" How best to start this off? 

"I want to talk to other Jack!"

"Oh, you will, don't worry, I just want to talk to you first." She sighed and then dove right in.  "You know all those stories I told you about your dad?"

 He nodded. "His name's Jack too! Just like me! Lots of Jacks!"

She chuckled at his excitement. "Yes, yes it is." She didn't correct him that it was actually him named after his father. "Well I've made an amazing discovery: your dad is actually - alive..."  The boy's eyes widened as she breathed out the words.  Even she still couldn't quite believe it, but it was true, it really was.  "We thought he was dead, for so long, and he thought we were dead too, you and I. But we're not, and I saw him again on my last mission, and I couldn't believe it."

"Mommy, you're crying." He noticed right away. 

"Yeah, I guess I am, aren't I?"

"Are you sad?"

"A little, sad that we went so long without knowing, but also because I'm happy, so happy."

"Does he want to meet me?"

"Yes, oh yes he can't wait to!"  She wiped away her tears. "But I know  this is a lot of information, so he completely understands if you're not ready to-"

"Mommy wait, your friend's name is Jack, and my Daddy's name is Jack-"

"Yes, that's right."

The little boy gasped as the realization hit him. "DADDY!" The next thing she knew he was leaping off the bench and racing back to where Jack - his father - still stood. The cowboy was nearly knocked off balance when the young boy ran right into him in an embrace.  The sweet sight only made her cry more, and by the looks of it, made Jack cry too. 

"I love you, Daddy, I love you!"

"Oh, kiddo, I love you too." Upon hearing those words from the son he had never met until now, and until now, thought he never would meet, Jack broke down into full tears himself. 

Jules joined them, embracing her boys, her Jacks. Here they were, together at last: their family.

"Mommy, Daddy says I can have his truck when I'm eighteen!"

"Eighteen huh? Well then, I guess you'd better learn to drive."

"He's also going to get me a cowboy hat too so we can match!"

Eggsy was marrying his girlfriend, Tilde, Crown Princess of Sweden. Despite the rough history between Jack and the Kingsmen, the Daniels family had been invited to the ceremony.

"I've never been to a wedding before!" Jackie cried excitedly.

"Look, look, up there-" Jules gestured to the mezzanine above them, where Elton himself sat at the piano, there to provide the music.  

"Mommy, you're crying again," Jack Jr. noticed. 

"Yeah, I am."

He took her hand so that he was holding his father's hand on one side and his mother's on the other.  "Are you happy crying again?"

She chuckled through the tears.  "You bet I am, Buddy. I'm so happy. So, so happy."
