Wednesday 28 March. 3.30pm. Tracy Island.

Jeff Tracy, back at his desk, heard an unusual sound floating up through the hallway leading to the villa's lounge. Soft, somewhat out-of-tune singing, light claps, and the sound of cutesy laughter all came together into a sound that brought back memories, happy memories of when his sons were all young.

"If you're happy and you know it clap your hands," clap-clap. "If you're happy and you know it clap your hands," clap-clap. "If you're happy and you know it and you really want to show it, if you're happy and you know it clap your hands," clap-clap. "Yay! Well done Josh."

Jeff chuckled a little at the sound, and looked up to see Dominic walking in with Joshua in his arm, giving his son a light kiss on the forehead. As soon as they entered, the child began to wriggle, wanting to be set down.

"Alright then," Dominic said, and settled the child onto his small feet, before giving a small wave across the room to Jeff. "Good afternoon," he said, walking after his son, keeping one eye on the exuberant toddler.

"Good afternoon, Dominic," Jeff said. He grinned as he watched the father and son explore the room. "They're a handful at that age, aren't they?" He asked.

Dominic glanced up and gave him a wry grin.

"Don't I know it! He's been a handful since the moment he was born, but I would never give him up." He caught the child in his arms from behind and began to tickle him. "Aren't you? Aren't you?"

Jeff joined in the laughter, and Dominic scooped Joshua up and carried him across to the desk.

"May I?" Jeff asked, holding his hands out for the child.

"Who could I trust more than a father of five?" Dominic said, and handed Joshua over.

He wasn't a fussy toddler, used to being handled by many different people. It seemed to Dominic that as long as he felt at ease, he was happy to be held by just about anyone.

"My, you're a big boy, aren't you?" Jeff said, as the child scrutinised this only-just-familiar man. "What age is he?" Jeff asked Dominic.

"Two years and three months," Dom said, shaking his head. "I can't believe it. He's almost been alive as long as I've been living in America." By the look on Jeff's face, he sensed the oncoming question. "I moved to Kansas in January 2065, so I've been living here, what, three years and two months?" He nodded. "Yeah, that's right."

Joshua began to wriggle once more, and attempted to slip off
Jeff's knee. He managed it, and Dominic shook his head -- internally sighing with relief that Joshua hadn't aggravated Jeff's injury.

"Oh, by the way," he said as he watched his son glance with wide eyes at the panels behind Jeff's desk, "I've decided on a codename."

"Excellent," Jeff said, reaching for the all-familiar PDA, "what is it?"

"Dak," Dom said. "It's a nickname my half-brother used for me. It's an abbreviation of all my names: Dominic Aidan Kelly."

Jeff added the codename to the list, and smiled.

"Thanks, Dominic," he said.

"No problem."
