"Are you having fun?" Sam asked.

Sam, Jack, Charlie, and Hammond were all gathered around a video feed in the command room. The signal was coming through an open wormhole. On the other side, Daniel, Teal'c, Ry'ac, The Trips, and Sarah sat in front of a MALP.

"Yeah!" The Trips and Sarah called out as one.

"We are," Ry'ac added.

"Indeed," Teal'c agreed.

"Yeah Sam we are," Daniel replied grinning. "What about you guys?"

No one missed the smile Jack and Sam shared but it was Charlie who responded, "Yeah, they're having fun alright. I had to move into the guest house just to get some peace and quiet."

Sam's mouth dropped; finally she managed to say, "Keep it up young man and you'll be staying in the tree house."

"Could we stay in th' tree house too?" Car pleaded, that would be way cool.

"I don't think so Car, no one's gunna live in the tree house," Jack quickly replied.

"So what have you guys been doing?" Charlie asked the kids.

"We're making something," Replied Car.

"Are you letting Sarah help?" Jack asked the boys.

"Me, big help," Sarah spoke up a big grin on her face.

"What are you making?" Sam asked the boys. She didn't see Jack and Charlie shake their heads no at the boys.

"It's a surprise," Car replied

"It's classified," JD added.

"It's for ye," Torq spoke up.

"Am I gunna like it?" Sam asked her curiosity rising.

"I'm sure you'll love it," Daniel replied well aware that Jack didn't want Sam to know what the kids were making.

Sam's scream was loud enough to wake the dead or in Charlie's case the very tired living. As soon as the scream filtered through his brain Charlie was wide awake. He moved on auto pilot quickly unlocking his safe and pulling out his gun as well as his sword and sheath. He knew all to well that it was better to be over armed than under. Then he was moving his bare feet making not a whisper of sound as he quickly made his way down the darkened hallway of his home. He was worried, what could have made his mom scream like that with his dad in the same room?

Of all the scenarios that Charlie had played out in his head as he made his way to his parent's room the sight that greeted him was so surprising that he hadn't even taken the time to think it. Sam had her back to him and in her hand she held what was left of a bedside lamp that she had obviously used as a weapon. Charlie moved into the room, making sure to get Sam out of his line of fire. Groaning on the floor a few feet in front of Sam was a teenage boy holding his bloodied head.

"Damn it Carter! What did you do that for?" The teen demanded from the floor.

"Shut up," Charlie growled his gun firmly trained on the stranger even as he turned his head in Sam's direction. "Are you alright, mom? Where's dad?"

"I'm fine," Sam replied as she set the lamp down. "I don't know where Jack is. When I fell asleep he was next to me, when I woke up I was in bed with him."

"What is with you two? It's me!" The teen exclaimed as he got to his feet, making a quick grab to keep his boxers from falling down. It was only then that both Charlie and Sam realized that this stranger was dressed in Jack's clothes.

"Who are you?" Sam demanded taking a threatening step towards the teen.

"What are you talking about?" The teen snapped back. "I'm Jack, you know Colonel Jack O'Neill."

"Not from where I'm standing your not," Charlie replied his mind whirling as he tried to figure out what was going on.

Dog tags clinked together as they cleared shirt and the teen replied, "According to these I am."

"They're lying," Charlie replied.

"Do you even understand how much trouble you're in? Impersonating a military officer is a federal offense," Replied Sam.

"Not to mention breaking and entering," Charlie added.

"I am not impersonating anyone! I am Jack O'Neill!" The teen replied whipping the blood out of his eyes.

"Have you looked in a mirror lately?" Charlie asked.

"Why?" The teen demanded.

"I'll call the General and let him know we're coming in. Why don't you take who ever this is into the bathroom and get him cleaned up," Sam spoke as she moved to the phone. She turned back to Charlie, "You might want to get him some clothes that actually fit too."

Hammond didn't waste anytime letting Daniel and Teal'c know what was going on. It didn't take them long to gate back with all of the kids in tow. Even Ry'ac came with. It was a good thing that he did, SG2 was off world and they needed a babysitter.

By the time Sam, Charlie and the teen arrived at the SGC about an hour later Daniel and Teal'c had already been briefed and were waiting in the briefing room.

Once they got to the SGC Sam led the way while Charlie followed pushing the teen along in front of him. Thankfully Charlie had let him borrow some clothes that actually fit.

"Charlie, take him to the infirmary then have him placed under guard. I'll get the General, meet us in the briefing room," Sam took charge.

"Alright mom," Charlie replied before he turned his attention to the teen. "Alright, you heard her. Move it."

The teen shrugged off Charlie's hand, "You are so grounded young man."
