Welcome to the third installment of the 'Of' series. Please read the first two installments before this one, or nothing will make sense. Fair warning, this story can be OOC and it is an AU so if it didn't happen in the show, that's kind of the point.

Not beta'd, so all mistakes are my own.

Chapter One

Six-year-old Grace Hannah O'Neill and her 3-year-old brother Jacob Walter quietly climbed onto their parent's bed. They both counted to three before yelling (as best they could), "Happy anniversary!"

Both of their parents woke up and their father, Jack, started to tickle them. They were both laughing uncontrollably until their mother, Sam, begged them to stop. Then, all three of them turned on her and started to tickle her.

"No, stop, please!" she gasped out between laughs. They finally stopped and were still laughing quite hard.

"Is no one in this family on my side?" Sam teased.

"Nope," Jack shot back.

Sam playfully hit him on the shoulder, before getting up out of bed.

"Is anyone hungry?"

"Yes," was the unanimous reply.

"Pancakes, please," Jacob said.

"Okay. Who wants to help me make them?"

"I do!" yelled Grace and Jacob.

"And, what about you Jack?"

"Nah, that's alright. You guys go ahead."

He rolled back over onto his side, while Sam, Jacob, and Grace headed to the kitchen.

"I want blueberries in the pancakes mommy," Grace pleaded.

"No, chocolate chips," Jacob answered.

"How about some with blueberries and some with chocolate?"

The siblings exchanged a glance before saying, "Okay."

Before long, the whole family was sitting down eating their pancakes.

"Are we going on our picnic today?" Jacob asked.

"Our picnic? I heard nothing about that," Jack said, sarcastically.

Jacob, however, didn't notice the teasing tone in his voice.

"Daddy! We always go on a picnic on your anniversary! Mommy said so!"

Grace shook her head. "He was kidding, Jake."

Jake laughed. "Oh! I get it now."

"Of course we're going on our picnic. First, your mommy and I have to go get some things from the store to pack for lunch."

"Is Cassie going to babysit us?" Grace asked.

"Yep. She'll be over in a couple of hours," Sam replied.

"Yay!" Jake and Grace yelled in unison.

Before long, Cassie arrived at the house.

"Don't worry, everything will be just fine," she yelled to Jack and Sam as they (finally!) left the house.

"Now," Cassie said to the kids, "What are we going to do until they get back?"

"Tag!" Jake yelled.

"Sounds good. Let's go."

Cassie, Jake, and Grace walked out the back door into the yard.

Jake ran after his sister. She narrowly avoided his tiny hand coming towards her. Jake then chose his next target – Cassie. He chased after her as fast as he could on his short legs. He had almost touched her arm when the wind started to blow faster. Leaves flew everywhere as the three of them looked up to the sky. Suddenly, a beam of white light shot down and Cassie fell backwards onto the ground. As she faded into unconsciousness, she heard Jake start to yell in panic. She tried to get up, but her whole world was enveloped in black before she could.

Jack walked into the house, carrying three plastic bags filled with food. Sam followed behind him, laughing at another one of his stupid jokes.

"Cassie! We're back!" Sam yelled into the quiet house.

"Why are they never this quiet when we're here?" Jack joked. Sam smiled.

Cassie walked into the room, her head bleeding from the impact earlier. She saw them and started to cry.

"Cassie!" Sam yelled. "What happened?"

Jack got some bandages out of the bathroom and started to clean up her head.

"I don't know," she said softly, between sobs, "We were playing in the back and there was this... beam of light... I - "

"Are Jake and Gracie alright?" Sam asked.

Cassie started to cry harder. "I got knocked out, somehow... I looked everywhere but I couldn't find them." She put her head in her hands and cried even more.

Jack saw Sam tense up in panic. He finished bandaging Cassie's head.

"Jack... I'm so sorry," she whispered. "It's not your fault, you did everything you could Cassie," Jack said gently.

"We'll take you to the base and have your mom check out your head, okay?"

Cassie nodded. They all walked out to the car.

"A beam of light and then they disappeared?" Jack said to Sam. "I know. We'll talk to the General when we get there," she replied

Jack walked up to General Hammond's office. He knocked three times before entering.

"Jack!" Hammond exclaimed, "What brings you here?"

"Something happened today... with my kids. Cassie was sitting for us, there was a beam of light... General, they've been kidnapped. And I'm sure it wasn't by someone here on Earth."

"I understand. I'll assign SG-1 to help you find them."

SG-1, report to the briefing room. The words echoed through the intercom.

Half an hour later, SG-1, Sam, Jack, General Hammond, and Cassie all sat around the briefing room table.

"The wind speed picked up and then there was a beam of light. I got knocked out and when I came to, they were just... gone. They... vanished," Cassie finished, desperately trying not to start crying again.

"A beam of light... sounds Asgard to me," the new leader of SG-1, Cameron Mitchell, stated.

"That's what Sam and I thought," Jack said.

Daniel smiled. They'd been married for four years, but it was still strange to hear Jack call her Sam instead of Carter.

"Well," another SG-1 member, Vala Mal-Doran, said, "Why don't we just contact the Asgard and get this all straightened out?"

"That's a good first step," General Hammond replied, "But they may not have any information about it."

"It's worth a try," Daniel said, speaking for the first time.

"Indeed."

Everyone smiled at Teal'c's familiar statement.
