Rating: PG for safety's sake.
Genre: Slight crossover with STARGATE SG-1, but my own version of the show. Alternate universe and, though there are pairings, is mostly a friendship piece.
Pairings: Jax/Carly. Sonny/Kate. Faint Jerry/Alexis (mostly on his end). Robin/Patrick (though I doubt they will be here much). Max/Diane.
Author's Notes: You don't really need to know anything specific about STARGATE (the show (which has added SG-1 to its title) or the movie) to understand this story. (Well, other than it has to do with alien/human relations. And that Jack O'Neill is played by Richard Dean Anderson and not Kurt Russell, while Daniel Jackson is portrayed by Michael Shanks and not James Spader, from Boston Legal.) I just figured that a show dealing with aliens works with a show that actually had an alien on it. Plus, I like the idea of the smart, witty Alexis working with the silver fox Jack O'Neill, the brilliant, totally sexy Daniel Jackson, and the superman that is Teal'c.
I also wanted to avoid all of that crap with her split personality disorder and the affair with Ned (never could wrap my head around Nexis). So, Kristina is alive and well, living with Ned and Brooke Lynne. Therefore, their daughter's been named after her mother and Sonny's-Kristen Adela Davis.
Sonny does know about his daughter but Alexis was able to come up with a legal way to keep him from taking or gaining joint custody of Kristen, though he has visitation rights. Albeit, they are supervised. I just didn't like what they did to her after they slept together. It made absolutely no sense to me, none whatsoever. They took her character and twisted her about, then destroyed her very successful career and that still hasn't stopped. Ever notice that after she had Kristina, she hasn't won a major case (other than the one with Manny Ruiz) and they turned her into a lunatic?
Molly exists and may or may not be explained, it all depends on whether or not I think the information is pertinent to the story. All one needs to know is that she isn't Ric's child. I don't know, I could never get past the fact that he got together with her in the first place to have a hold over his brother. I mean, he even went behind her back to get to the truth about Kristina's paternity. And how honorable is that? Yes, I can see how he could fall in love with her, they have so much in common and she is both beautiful and cute. Still, there's also something about them together that bothers me. Especially since I got the feeling that Ric desired Sonny (and, yes, I do mean that the way its read) and the only way he could get close to him was through the women that Sonny had bedded. (Really, I think the only woman he had sex with that Sonny didn't was Elizabeth, though you can correct me if I'm wrong.)
At least with Jerry, he doesn't see Alexis and her child as a way of sticking it to his brother. He doesn't even want her because his brother had her. I'm of the opinion that he genuinely likes her, though he doesn't really understand or get why he likes her so much.
Consequently, because of this move, she does not know that Sam is her oldest daughter. She has met her though and has formed no real opinion about her. In other words, major Retconning. Jason and Sam did break up, but not over the whole Ric/Sam thing-never happened.
Basic Summary: After she finds out that she's pregnant with Kristen, Alexis quit as Sonny's lawyer and left, getting some room to breathe, going to see an old friend from Yale, Janet Fraiser. While staying with her, she got a job offer from General Hammond about being a legal consultant for the civilians who work at the SGC, a secret government organization hidden beneath Cheyenne Mountain. She also serves as a consultant on treaties with their allies, even visiting some planets to make sure she understands the legalities of the people there so as to make the treaties fair and equal for all the parties involved.
Warnings: Vaguely suggestive about the true relationship between Sonny and Jason. (It's rather cannon if you think about how freakin' loyal they are to each other. Really, not even a woman can separate them for long. And no matter what the show is showing now, I doubt Sonny and Jason will ever break up permanently. They really are the strongest pairing on GH, whether they are a couple in the truest sense of the word or not.)
Author's Musings: How very bizarre, some of what I wrote days ago is on the show.

Scene: Cheyenne Mountain, Colorado Springs, Colorado
The Office of Alexis Davis
Date: April 7, 2008

"The main problem you have with this treaty, General O'Neill is that," the phone's sudden ringing cut her off mid sentence and she looked at it, more than slightly irritated. This could not be happening to her. After two weeks of trying to catch General Jack O'Neill between his meetings and her own to pin him down to this meeting so that they could go over the logistics of the treaty with the Denarii, she could ill afford an interruption at this time.

Knowing him as well as she did, she knew he'd take this opportunity to get out of this meeting. She knew it was his way of saying that he trusted her instincts. That he trusted the decisions she made about this but he needed to know what was in this deal. It was his name that would ultimately be upon the contract, not hers. Jack would be the one they called upon to honor the agreement.

Yet, ignoring it was not an option for it could be from her doctor relating to her tests. Although, she wasn't really worried that this call was from her doctor. And if it was about Kristen or Molly, Janet would have come straight to her office with word. With a resigned sigh, she picked it up, "Call me back in five," she tersely ordered.

"Alexis, please," the voice pleaded with her to listen, sending shivers of memories through her, not all of them unpleasant. But, for the most part, they shattered her peace of mind and sense of well being. Ripples and repercussions of decisions she had made echoed painfully in her mind and her eyes went to the series of pictures on her wall, staring at it over Jack's shoulder with blank eyes. Her daughter's cheerful eyes beamed at her as she swung on the small porch swing Jack had built their second year here. "I need to talk to you."

Snapping back to herself, she firmed her resolve. That was part of her past, one she had not intention of revisiting. Ever, she had thought that she had made that quite clear the last time they called her, trying to convince her to relent. That Sonny's life wasn't as bad as she made it seem. She knew better and would not be swayed by him or anyone else. It wasn't her life at stake-it was her daughter's life and that was the difference. If she was labeled an over-protective, paranoid, hysterical woman, so be it.

At least Kristen was alive and well, far away from her father' many enemies. Enemies who seemed to be multiplying daily. "We have nothing to discuss any longer, Mr. Morgan. I would appreciate it if you did not call me again."

The phone moved away from her ear and she barely heard his hoarse, nearly shouted, "Alexis, please, Michael's been shot."

"When?" she asked, almost unwillingly pulling the phone back to her ear as she heard and reheard his words in her mind. It was a nightmare come true. Something she had warned and warned and warned them all about being a possibility when they raised a child around guns until she felt stupid for trying to save the life of a small child, one she had helped put into such a dangerous and hellish existence. That knowledge was the only thing that had kept her trying for so long to get Sonny to change his lifestyle, for the sake of that precious child.

"Early this evening," he exhaled heavily. "Please, Alexis, come home."

"Jason, I have a new life now - one that does not include the terrors that stalk your chosen world and the lifestyle you have chosen to live. I made that choice." It was an almost physical ache to refuse his request but she needed to. Over six years ago, she had made a choice-a choice to remove herself and Kristen from Port Charles and the blood that flowed in the streets like rivers.

Of course, her job as a litigator and negotiator for Cheyenne Mountain 's…various extra-curricular activities had the same kind of danger built into it but it was different from what went on in Port Charles. Back there, the violence was deliberate. It came about because the mobs took over and brought their wars with them. Most of the situations she found herself in now were merely happenstance. The military worked very hard to ensure that such situations did not occur. If they did, they tried to improve their reaction time. They went through every action and reaction to see what had caused the situation so that they could avoid it in the future.

These fights were not provoked attacks against a specific person. A person who only increased security and did nothing to take care of the source of the attacks. He never addressed the truth behind the attacks, that it was himself and the life he choose to live that brought them about.

"Sonny needs you." Those were words he never thought would come from his lips again about this woman. For the life of him, he couldn't understand just why he was calling her now or how he knew it was the only choice he had because Sonny wouldn't listen to him - and he listened to Alexis to the point that he put her before his reputation with his men.

And he was tired, so very tired. Tired of being the peacekeeper and the one who had to be constantly level headed, emotionless so that those around him could emote freely. So that those around him could vent and take it out on him, expecting him to just take it and be strong for them all.

Why did no one get that he couldn't be that strong all the time? Well, Spinelli got it - but he wanted his friends to see he was only human. While he knew that he could be stoic, he was still a human being with thoughts and feelings-feelings that needed an outlet too.

And he couldn't dump this on Elizabeth, she had to protect her sons from this – now more than ever. If his enemies found out about Jake being his son, there was no telling what they might do, even though he had willingly cut himself off from them. That might not be enough in their eyes to save him. Why would Sonny want to do this to himself?

"And what Sonny wants, Sonny gets, right?" she tiredly asked him, a cynical smile crossing her face. Rubbing her throat, she caught Jack's eyes and shrugged. For a moment she wondered why he hadn't taken the opportunity to escape. Her heart tightened as she realized that he had to have heard the words about Michael being shot, seeing the dreadful pain in them. Memories of his own son's death by a bullet must have surfaced, holding him there, a prisoner of the past, waiting to hear if that dreadful history had repeated itself.

"I can't make you come back but I really think you need to come home."

"You would do anything to make him happy, wouldn't you?" she repeated words thrown at her long ago, noting the irony in it. At one time, those words would have been true of her-and she was ashamed of it. "I wonder if you realize what that says about you, Jason. Look, I've got to go."

"Promise me you'll think about it," he pleaded.

Exhaling heavily, "I'll think it over," she finally agreed before slowly hanging up.
