Chapter one -o- Dad
-September 19, 2008-
"CC" Sam said walking into the hospital room housing her best friend. The little girl looked up from her father and ran over to her. Her full name was Catharine Carter Jackson but as soon as Daniel had told this to Jack he had called her CC and much to Daniel's chagrin it had stuck.
"Aunty Sam" She said flinging her self onto Sam's legs. She looked up at her with a huge smile on her face. "Have you seen Danny?" She asked looking back over at the tiny little baby in Janet's arms. "He's so cute and little, I'm a big sister now!" She said smiling at her.
"I know" Sam said nodding her head as she picked CC and moved into the room. "How are we feeling?" She asked looking first at Janet then at Daniel.
"Oh I'm good" Janet said smiling at her. "Sam I'd like you to meet Daniel Jonathan Jackson"
"Oh Janet he's beautiful" Sam said smiling at them. "Jonathan huh?" She asked looking over at Daniel.
"Well it's for Jack and Janets grandfather" Daniel said smiling.
"Well at lest Jack'll just call him Danny" Sam said bouncing CC on her hip.
"Speaking of Jack where is he?" Daniel asked smiling up at her.
"He's picking Kiara up from school, they should be here any minute" She said handing CC over to her father and walking to the side of Janet's bed. "Was it any easier this time around?" She asked smiling at little Danny.
"Yeah" Janet said nodding her head. "When are you and Jack going to have one?" She asked as Sam looked up at her. Sam smiled at her and stood.
"Can I hold him?" She asked reaching out for him.
"Yeah" She said handing him over. Janet knew, of course, Sam was avoiding the question but she let it drop for now. There was time enough to talk to her later. They all looked towards the door as they heard Jack and Kiara coming down the hall.
"Happy baby day!" Jack said as he swung the door open and walked into the room followed by a load of balloons and his daughter.
"Uncle Jack" CC said jumping down off Daniel's lap. "I'm a big sister!" She said smiling up at him. "Hi Kiara did you know I'm a big sister now?"
"I may have heard something like that" She said smiling down at the little girl. She pulled out a balloon and handed it to the toddler. "This is for you" She said smiling.
"Ohhh" CC said taking the balloon "what's it say?" She asked walking over to her father.
"It says 'I'm a big sister'" Daniel said smiling at Kiara and mouthing a 'thank you' to Kiara.
"So how's the new addition?" Jack asked walking over to Daniel and smiling at him. "A chip off the old block?" He asked handing Daniel a cigar even though nether of them smoked. Daniel just rolled his eyes and put it in his pocket. Jack had done the same thing when CC was born. "Whatcha name him?" Jack asked as the girls all fussed over the baby.
"Daniel Jonathan Jackson" Daniel said looking over at Jack. "We'll call him Danny, not DJ or some other acronym, right?" He said giving Jack a stern look.
"What ever you say Danny" Jack said smiling at him. "Well that might get a little confusing" Jack said standing and walking over to get a better look at the baby. "Hey there Little Danny" Jack said tickling the baby's tummy.
"Jack!" Daniel said shaking his head and rolling his eyes.
-o-o-o-
"Kiara do you have any home work?" Jack asked as they all piled out of different cars. She rolled her eyes and smiled. Sam walked up the stairs to get changed while Jack and Kiara headed to the living room.
"Nope, it's Friday, Miss. Stansin never gives out homework on Fridays, she's the best" She said walking into the house.
"Ok" Jack said nodding his head as he sat down. "Well you have anything planed?"
"Nope" She said as their two cats walked over to her and laid down on ether side of her. "Why what are we doing?"
"Well Sam needs to go to her lab and I thought we could go see Teal'c." Jack said smiling at the look on Kiara's. Kiara loved going to the bass with them, it was so much fun, and every one there just loved to dote on her.
"Cool" She said standing up and smiling at the cats. "Sorry Dewey, Cotton" She said petting each cat. "We're going. Should I get mom?" She asked looking up at the stairs.
"Yeah" Jack said nodding his head. It still made him smile when she called Sam that, she may not be her real mom but she was pretty close. Kiara walked over to the bottom of the stairs.
"Mom! Let's go!" She hollered up the stairs.
"Oh for crying out loud Kiara, I could've done that" Jack said shaking his head at her. "Run up and get her would ya?" he asked smiling at her.
"Oh, right, sorry" She said smiling sheepishly. She ran up the stairs taking them two at a time. She knocked on the door but got no response so she opened it a little and picked in. Sam must be in the shower. She opened the door and heard the running water. 'Yep, in the shower' She thought walking over the dresser and smiling at the pictures there. They were mostly of her Jack and Sam over the last few years. But there where two pictures that she just loved, the one with her and Sam two years ago taken in Disney world. And then the one of her brother, Charlie. She had a different picture of him on her night stand, her dad had given it to her years agon. She had never known him but Jack told her about him all the time. She once over heard Sam and Janet talking about him and how Jack had never opened up to anyone about his son till she had come along. It made her proud to know her dad trusted her so much.
"Whatcha doin munchkin?" Sam asked walking into the room drying her hair.
"Dad sent me to get you, we're going to the mountain to see Teal'c and I thought I might talk him into letting me see the gate and then I thought maybe we could all have lunch in the mess hall" She paused for a second and looked up at Sam with a little confused look on her face. "Mom why do they call it a mess hall?" She asked as Sam put the towel down.
"Have you ever tried to clean on of them?" Sam asked smiling at her. "Huge messes those air force men leave behind"
"Oh right" Kiara said nodding her head. "That makes sense thanks mom" She said heading for the door. "See you down stairs"
"Right" Sam said nodding her head as Kiara left the room. It still warmed Sam to the soul that Kiara had chosen to bestow that title upon her.
-Flashback April 7 2005-
"How's CC?" Jack asked as he sat down next to his new wife. She took his hand and smiled at him. They had just gottan married and were now having the best reseption.
"She's good" Janet said smiling.
"Do you have to call her that?" Daniel asked shaking his head. "I mean if you have to shorten her name couldn't it be Cathy?"
"What's wrong with CC?" Jack asked smirking at Sam before he turned to Daniel.
"It just sounds so...so...I don't know, it's not a name" Daniel said finally looking over at Janet who was trying to hide her smile.
"Is too" Jack said holding his ground.
"It is not" Daniel said shaking his head.
"Is too" Jack said nodding his head.
"Not" Daniel said Sam and Janet shared a look as they continued to argue.
"Is" Jack said looking over at Sam. "Huh Sam, CC's a name"
"I um...I'm going to go see Kiara" Sam said standing and smiling at Jack. "Love you dear"
"Thanks" Jack said smirking at her. "I love you too" Sam smiled at Janet and then went in search of Jack's daughter. She was in a corner talking to one of the kids; Sam didn't know whose kid she was, Kiara smiled when she saw Sam walking over. She looked over at the other little girl and smiled.
"I'm going to go talk to my mom" She said pointing at Sam. The little girl looked up at Sam. Sam was shocked; Kiara had never called her this before.
"She's not your real mom" She said looking back at Kiara. "She's your stepmom" The little girl said nodding her head. "My mom is right over there, my parents are still married" Kiara looked up at Sam and then back at the little girl.
"My parent's aren't divorced" She said glaring at the other girl. "My first mom died" She said looking close to tears. "Sam is my new Mom, right Sam?" She asked looking up at Sam with tearful eyes.
"Of course I am" She said knelling down so she was eye level with Kiara. She looked over at the little girl. "I think you should go see your parents" The little girl nodded her head and walked away.
"She wasn't very nice" Kiara said as Sam opened her arm and picked Kiara up.
"No she wasn't" Sam said nodding her head.
"I can call you that right Sam? You're married to my daddy now so that makes you my mom right?" She asked in a hopeful voice.
"That's right" Sam said nodding her head. "You can call me Mom as long as you like. But I want you to remember that I will never try to take the place of your first mom; she's a very special person"
"Right I know" Kiara said nodding her head. "I can love her and you; daddy says that you never run out of room to love"
"That's right" Sam said nodding her head and hugging Kiara. "You're such a great kid"
"Hey what are my two favorite women doing?" Jack asked walking over to them and smiling. He kissed Kiara on the cheek and smiled at Sam.
"I was just tellin' mom how much I loved her" Kiara said hugging Sam around the neck.
"Oh" Jack said with a sappy smile on his face. "Well I thought the three of us might take a spin on the dance floor" He said looking back at the dancing couples.
"Both of us?" Kiara asked looking from Sam to Jack.
"Of course both of you" He said taking her from Sam. "So want to dance with your old dad?"
"You're not old" Sam and Kiara said at the same time making Jack laugh. Kiara laid her head on his shoulder as they walked over.
"So has Daniel conceded?" Sam asked as they walked onto the dance floor.
"Not yet" Jack said smiling at. "He will though, just give me time" He said kissing her nose.
"You're hopeless Jack" Sam said putting her head on his other shoulder and smiling. "But I still love you"
"Me too" Kiara said winking at Sam. "We'll always love you daddy"
-End Flashback-
"Sam what are you doing up there?" Jack called pulling her from her memories. Sam pulled a brush through her hair and smiled.
"Nothing I'm coming" She called back heading out the door.
-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-
It was a few days later and SG-4 had brought back a new doohickey for her to play with. Sam rubbed her neck and blinked her eyes a few times. She had been here way too long. She had told Jack she's be home by 10 a clock at the latest. She looked over at the clock and winced. It was 9:45 already. She picked up the phone and dialed their house.
"Hi Sam" Jack said before she said anything.
"How'd you know it was me?' Sam asked smiling.
"I just know" he said shaking his head. "So let me guess, you were working so hard you totally lost track of the time?"
"Sorry" She said hoping her wasn't mad. She turned off her computer.
"Its ok, I know how you are" He looked at the time. "Did you at lest eat something?"
"Um...I had lunch with you and Daniel" She said wincing again.
"Sam that was...almost ten hours ago" Jack said sounding exasperated.
"Again, sorry" Sam said smiling at the sound of his voice.
"What am I going to do with you?" He asked sighing. "Are you going to come home tonight or stay there?" He asked looking out the window. "Its starting to snow, again, you should just stay there tonight"
"Are you sure Jack?" Sam asked turning her computer back on.
"Yeah" Jack said smiling when he heard the computer boot up. "As long as you eat something and go to bed by midnight" He said. "Midnight Sam"
"Yes Sir" Sam said smiling "I love you"
"Love you too" Jack said smiling. "See you in the morning"
"Are you taking Kiara to school?" Sam asked.
"No, Mrs. Flaning in picking her up, car pool starts tomorrow" Jack said petting the cats that were weaving through his feet. "I love you too" he said before hanging up the phone. "Well looks like it's just us tonight guys" He said smiling at them.
"Meow" They said following him up the stairs.
"Yeah" Jack said nodding his head. "I miss her too"
-o-o-o-o-o-
"Sam are you in there?" Daniel asked knocking on her door. Sam blinked her eyes and looked at her watch. 4:45 in the morning. If Daniel didn't have a cup of coffee with him he was a dead man, new baby or not.
"Daniel its 4:45 in the morning what could possible be so important that you needed to wake me, I just went to bed three hours ago" Sam said staring at him. He held out a cup of coffee and she shook her head and took the coffee. "You're one lucky archeologist" She said opening the door so he could come in.
"You will never believe what SG-15 just brought back" He said smiling at her. "I mean I can't believe there are more then one, I can't get my mind around it. I mean how could that possibly work?"
"Daniel it's to early to understand what you just said" Sam said taking a drink of the coffee. "So why don't you go outside, give me five minute and then show me this new treasure."
"Ok" Daniel said nodding his head and heading for the door. "You're never going to believe it Sam" he said opening the door and smiling at her. She could tell he was mumbling something as she closed the door behind him. Sam was one of those people who could be out of bed and awake in a split second, but when she didn't have to she liked to wake up slowly. Sam pulled a brush through her hair pulled on her jacket and opened the door a little more awake.
"Why didn't you wake Jonas?" She asked looking at him. "I'm sure he'd be just as excited" She said referring to there fourth team mate. Jonas had come thought the gate about four years ago after having a falling out with his government, again. After it was decided her could stay Hammond put him back on SG-1, of course by then Sam was running it.
"I did" Daniel said smiling at her. "He's there now"
"What are you doing here anyway?" Sam asked as they walked towards his office. "Isn't there some kind of rule about coming into work so soon after having a baby?"
"Well I didn't have him" Daniel said smiling at her. "And Janet told me to come, I was...uh well I was hovering, and she hates that"
"Ah" Sam said nodding her head. "You were mother henning her to death" Sam said nodding her head. "Well you learned from the best" She said thinking about Jack.
"Yeah" Daniel said nodding his head. "I have my beeper if she needs me and Cassie is still there so she should be fine" Daniel said opening the door so Sam could walk in. She walked around his desk to where Jonas was standing and just stared.
"Morning Sam" He said smiling at her. "Daniel tells me you guys had the last one destroy."
"We did" Sam said staring at the quantum mirror sitting in Daniel office. "Why did they bring it back?" Sam asked looking over at Daniel.
"Hammond told them too" He said shrugging his shoulders.
"But why?" Sam asked looking over at Daniel.
"Don't know" Daniel said shaking his head. "Hammond just told me and I quote 'just don't touch anything on it.' I guess he thinks I'll send my self to another reality."
"Yeah cause you'd never do something like that" Sam said shaking her head. "So what are we suppose to do with it?"
"Don't know" Daniel said smiling at her.
"Not a man of many words is he?" Jonas said smirking at Daniel. "Hammond just said to leave it alone"
"Ok" Sam said nodding her head. "Well call me if it does anything." Sam said turning to leave.
"Sam" Daniel said as she reached for the door. "It's doing something" She turned and walked over.
"What?" She asked watching as there was a shimmer over the surface and the there was a man standing there with his back to them. He turned around and Sam took a sharp intake of breath.
"Sam?" He asked blinking his eyes. He was obviously severely wounded. His eyes traveled over to Daniel and he smiled. "Daniel, it's so good to see you two" He looked over at Jonas and looked a little confused. "Jonas? What are you doing here?" He asked before his eyes fluttered closed and he crumpled to the floor like a rag doll. Sam just stood there in shock as Jonas called for a medical team.
"Daniel is that who I think it is?" Sam asked looking over at Daniel. He nodded and she bent down and turned him over. "Well this is going to be an interesting day" She said as the medical team came running in.
"Yeah" Daniel said nodding his head. "I don't think interesting even begins to describe it" Daniel said as they all followed the medical team out.
-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-
"Well Sir we don't have any blood to compare it to but I'd bet anything that's who he is" Sam said looking over at the young man unconscious in the hospital bed.
"Well he's going to be fine" Dr. Rosthin said looking at Hammond. "He has a mild concussion and a staff wound to the leg but I think he'll be ok"
"Ok" Hammond said nodding his head. He turned to Sam and looking over at the young man. "How do we tell Jack?"
"I haven't the slightest" Sam said shaking his head. "Teal'c is going to go get him right now. I just talked to him about five minutes ago and told him that he needed to come down here"
"What's he going to do with Kiara?" Hammond asked looking back at Sam.
"He's leaving her with Miss. Drew. She lives across the street and just loves Kiara. Kiara should be up by now anyway, she had school today"
"Ok" Hammond said nodding his head. "Do you want me to have him brought here?"
"Yeah, could you call when he gets here though? I'd like to meet him, outside the sickbay" Sam said looking again at the man in the bed. Man things just never settled around here, she's been here for 12 years, you'd think she'd be use to it by now.
"Of course" he said nodding his head. "Are you going to stay here?"
"Yes" She said nodding her head and smiling at him. "Daniel's here too," She looked back over to the bed and smiled. "And Jonas"
"Alright" Hammond said nodding his head. "I'll call when he arrives"
"Thank you Sir" Sam said walking back over to the bed. "How's he doing?"
"Good" Daniel said nodding his head. "He opened his eyes for a second but then fell back to sleep."
"Hey" He said as his eyes blinked a few times. "It's not nice to talk...about some one when they're sleeping" He said clearing his throat a little.
"Hi" Sam said smiling at him. "How you feelin?"
"Ok" He said looking over at Daniel. "It's good...to see you"
"Yeah" Daniel said nodding his head. He looked back at Sam and took a deep breath.
"Am I here?" He asked looking from Sam to Daniel.
"No" Sam said knowing that he meant here as in was he in this dimensions.
"Oh" he said nodding his head slowly. "Ok" He closed his eyes again and Sam and Daniel looked at each other. They all sat there for almost an hour before the phone rang. Sam jumped up and answered in.
"Yes Sir thanks" She said looking over at Daniel. "He's on his way down, not to be rude or anything but could you...
"Yeah" Daniel said nodding his head. "Come on Jonas lets make ourselves scarce" Daniel said pulling Jonas out of his seat.
"Right" Jonas said nodding his head. Sam walked out with them then waited at the doors for Jack. She was there for about ten minutes before Jack came walking down the hall. He smiled when he saw her.
"Hey there" He said taking in her stance and the look on her face. "Bad news?"
"Jack" She said reaching out and taking his head. "SG-15 brought back anther quantum mirror" Sam said keeping a hold on his hand.
"So? I was brought down here for a quantum mirror?" Jack asked knowing it wasn't that.
"Some one came thought the mirror this morning" She said closing her eyes then looking up at him.
"Who?" Jack asked looking though the frosted glass in the doors.
"Come on" She said pulling him into the sickbay. They walked slowly over to the bed. Jack just stared down at the young man in the bed for a few seconds. Then he looked up at Sam and she could see all the pain in his eyes.
"Charlie" he whispered barely loud enough for Sam to hear. Charlie opened his eyes and smiled.
"Hey dad" He said blinking a few times. "I'm sorry" He said before his eyes closed again. Jack looked up at Sam and she could see he was trying to take this all in. Sam sat him down in a chair and took his hand again.
"Are you ok?" She asked as he stared at Charlie.
"Peachy" Jack said shaking his head a little. "He looks so much like me, I always thought he would" He said as a tear slipped out.
"Yeah he does" Sam said nodding her head and holding Jack as he sat there watching his lost son sleep.
