She's in her office reading Josh's transcript of the State of the Union address...dying laughing at the margin notes.

"He's doing a thing for quantum on the 60's, specifically the drug culture. He doesn't even know what LSD is...so if he asks, just say no."

Parker chortled, then frowned. "How can he not know? Exactly?" She had both eyebrows up now. "Or should I not ask, the way I don't ask about other things regarding Jack?"

She cocks her head to the side, "What don't you ask, Parker?"

"What that almost-American accent is. What happened to his parents, that you can adopt him so late. How the Doctor got his memory back in November. Why he knows a lot about some things, and nothing about others." Parker's face had sobered. "I *can* keep a secret. But I'd like to know if there's a secret to be kept. Or just something sad and strange, that I shouldn't ask about."

She sucks on her teeth, thinking. Here eyes narrow and she nods. "He didn't really have parents, where he came from. Not like we think of them. Other than that, there are secrets that he needs to keep...for his safety and for yours. And mine. But I tell you what. I'll tell him to tell you what he can. He's getting pretty good with the honestly thing."

Parker listened, then slowly nodded. "Okay. That's fair. I won't ask more than that." She got to her feet, stretched, winced, then smiled. "See you later, C.J. At Jack's party, if not sooner."

"Sounds great, Parker. I'll see you then, and I'll see what he's good with telling you. If I had my way? He'd tell you everything." She raises her eyebrows and smiles, clearly approving of Parker...if only Jack could be the kind to have one partner.

"Thanks," and Parker's smile back is bright and uncomplicated, because she like's Jack's mom, and it's cool that there's no weirdness there. "Have a good weekend. I'll see you later."
