Lacy here. This idea has been bouncing around my head for a while. What would SG-1 be like if Sam and Jack had a child when the show started? Erase Jack's history with Sara and get rid of Sam's with Jonas and think about it. I'm gonna do this a little backwards. I'm gonna start the the end of seven when Jack gets frozen in Antarctica. After backtracking all the way to how their daughter came to be, I'll continue through the last three seasons of the show and both movies. Now it won't be from SG-1's POV it'll be from Sam and Jack's daughter's. Have fun.
Disclaimer: If I owned it I wouldn't have to write this now would I?

Grace Carter-O'Neill ran down the stairs to the control room. At ten years old she had basically grown up at the SGC with her parents Major Samantha Carter-O'Neill and Colonel Jack O'Neill, her uncles Dr. Daniel Jackson and Teal'c, and her grandfather Major General George Hammond. Her parents, uncles and grandfather were currently fighting in Antarctica against Anubis and her other grandfather, Jacob Carter was just arriving to wait for them with Grace. Grace stood next to Siler as he read off the IDC.
"It's Grampa, Grace." Siler said.
Grace smiled and made her way to the gate room. She stood at the end of the ramp with Dr. Elizabeth Weir at her side. Elizabeth was taking over for George and Grace wasn't at all happy about it. Jacob stepped through the gate and Grace ran up to him with a big smile on her face. Jacob mirrored the smile and hugged Grace tightly.
"Mom and Dad are going to be okay, right Grampa?" Grace asked as she buried her face in Jacob's shoulder.
Jacob tighten his grip on Grace. "I can't say for certain sweetheart but I know they'll fight their hardest to come home to you. Just like they always do."
Grace accepted this answer and released Jacob. They walked down the ramp and Grace introduced Jacob to Elizabeth.
"Grampa this is Dr. Elizabeth Weir. She's taking over for Bumpa. Dr. Weir, this is former Major General Jacob Carter and Selmac of the Tokra." Grace said.
Jacob shook Elizabeth's hand. "You'll explain why George isn't here right?"
Elizabeth nodded. "Why don't we head up to the briefing room?"
Jacob held out his hand for Grace and once she took it, the three left.

Grace sat on Jacob's lap in Elizabeth's office as they listened to the battle going on. Suddenly someone was talking about thousands of lights coming from the surface. Grace looked at Jacob.
"That's SG-1 isn't it?" Grace asked.
Jacob nodded. "That's them baby."
The phone rang and Elizabeth answered it. She spoke quietly and Jacob watched with a frown as she paled.
"Grace do me a favor and go sit in the briefing room." Jacob said.
Grace also frowned but did as Jacob asked. She walked out of Elizabeth's office and sat in one of the chairs around the table as she had done hundreds of times before. She watched Jacob and Elizabeth talk through the window of the office and knew something was wrong. Jacob sat down heavily and ran a hand over his face then turned to look at Grace. Grace felt her stomach sink. She knew that look. Something had gone wrong with her parents.

Grace sat in Daniel's office staring at the book in front of her but taking none of it in. She had run there after Jacob had told her what had happened. Her father was frozen and they didn't know how to save him. That was ridiculous. SG-1 always had the answer. She was sure both her parents would show up any time now with big smiles.
"Grace."
Grace looked up from the book and saw Daniel coming in. She could see the defeated look on his face and her eyes filled with tears.
"No." she said her voice barely a whisper.
Daniel nodded as he walked in all the way and closed the door. "I'm afraid so sweetie."
Daniel just barely reached Grace before she slid of her chair and onto the floor. Daniel caught her in his arms and rocked her as she started crying.
"He promised he'd always come home." Grace sobbed. "He's never broken a promise before."
Daniel sighed as he ran a hand over Grace's hair. "He didn't have a choice this time Grace. But I promise you that your mom, Uncle Teal'c and I won't rest until we have him back for you."
Grace pulled back to look at Daniel. "Please don't say promise."
Daniel thought for a second. "Ok how about I give you my word?"
"That works." Grace said. "Can I help bring Dad home too?"
"Of course you can." Daniel said. "We wouldn't dream of leaving you out of it."
Grace nodded. "Where's Mom?"
"With Grampa. Wanna go see her?" Daniel said.
Grace nodded and Daniel stood up, still holding Grace in his arms. They made their way through the base to the infirmary where Jacob had taken Sam because of how upset she was. Teal'c was standing outside for once emotion showing on his face.
"Uncle Teal'c." Grace said as Daniel put her down. "Is Mom hurt?"
Teal'c shook his head. "Not physically Grace but she is feeling the loss of your father."
Grace took a deep breath. "He's not lost yet."
Teal'c bowed his head, agreeing with Grace. "Dr. Frasier has had to sedate her but you may go in."
Grace hesitated. She didn't like seeing her parents, or any member of her family in the infirmary. It scared her. Daniel noticed this.
"How about I take you home for the night and we'll come see your mom when she's up and around?" he recommended.
Grace nodded, a small smile showing Daniel how thankful she was for his idea. Grace quickly gave Teal'c a hug before making her way to the elevators. Daniel paused.
"Let Jacob know for me." Daniel said. "I'll have Grace back around nine."
Teal'c once again bowed his head and Daniel left.

Grace walked into her house and made a beeline for her parents bedroom. Daniel watched her go but instead of following her he went to the kitchen to make them some dinner and to call Cassie and let her know what had happened. As he started the water to boil for pasta, he picked up the phone.
"Frasier residence."
"Cassie it's Daniel."
"Hey Daniel what's up?"
Daniel sat in one of the kitchen chairs. "I've got some bad news Cass."
Daniel heard Cassie sit down. "Is Mom ok?"
"Your mom is fine. It's Jack."
"What happened Daniel?"
Daniel explained everything that had happened to Cassie. She stayed silent until Daniel had finished.
"How's Sam?"
"Your mom had to sedate her."
"What about Grace?"
Daniel looked down the hall towards Sam and Jack's room. "I don't know."
"You want me to come over?"
Daniel poured a half a box of elbows into the boiling water. "That would be great Cass. I was hoping to head back to the base tonight and get started on how to get Jack home but I don't want to leave Grace alone."
Daniel could hear things moving around on the other end of the line. "I'll be there in fifteen minutes."
"Ok see you then."
Daniel hung up the phone and after stirring the pasta for a second he made his way down the hall. He walked into the master bedroom and the sight broke his heart. Grace was curled up in the middle of Sam and Jack's bed with Jack's pillow hugged tightly to her chest.
"Grace, Cassie is coming over." Daniel said quietly.
Grace sniffed. "When?"
Daniel sat on the foot of the bed. "She'll be here in fifteen minutes."
Grace sat up but didn't release Jack's pillow. She wiped away her tears. "Ok, I'll be ready when she gets here."
"Grace no one expects you to keep up a brave face during all this." Daniel said.
"I have to stay strong for Mom." Grace said. "She's gonna need me to be strong."
"You can't be strong all the time Grace." Daniel said. "You'll end up breaking and it probably won't be at a good time."
Grace sighed and played with the corner of Jack's pillow before looking back at Daniel. "But I can be strong for now right?"
Daniel nodded. "Yeah you can. And when you're ready to not be strong anymore, you'll have plenty of people to go to."

Daniel watched as Grace once again curled up in the middle of Sam and Jack's bed, Jack's pillow under her head this time with Sam's sweater wrapped around her.
"She's gonna be okay."
Daniel turned to smile at Cassie. "As soon as we get Jack home yeah she will be. So will Sam."
Cassie hugged Daniel and stayed tucked under his arm. "You gonna head back to the base now?"
"Yeah I just wanted to check on her one more time." Daniel looked down at Cassie. "I'll have your mom call you when I get there."
Cassie smiled. "Good cause she missed her check in by two hours."
Daniel gave Cassie one more hug before making his way out of the house. Cassie locked up after him then checked the house over before walking back to the master bedroom. She wasn't at all surprised to see Grace sitting up.
"You'd think after all the times Daniel has babysat the two of us he'd be able to tell when we fake sleep." Cassie said.
Grace smiled. "You'd think. But in his defense he's better with old dead things not living breathing things."
Cassie smirked. "I don't know, he's pretty good with my mom."
Grace giggled. "Ew Cassie, I don't want to hear that."
Cassie inwardly gave herself a thumbs up at getting Grace to laugh. She may just get through this after all.

Grace walked onto the base the next morning with Cassie and George. George had shown up earlier in the morning wanting to see Grace and to let her know about his new job in Washington. She had actually handled it better then George thought she would but given what was happening he wasn't really surprised. George followed Cassie and Grace to the infirmary where they knew the rest of SG-1 and Jacob would be. Once again Teal'c was standing outside. He bowed his head to the three then focused on Grace.
"Your mother is awake and has been asking for you." he asked.
Grace smiled. "Thank you Teal'c."
She looked back at Cassie and George.
"Go ahead in Grace, we'll wait out here." George said.
Grace took a deep breath and nodded before heading through the doors that would lead to her mother. She saw Daniel and Janet standing next to one of the beds and Jacob sitting in a chair.
"Mom?" Grace said.
Sam sat up and looked at Grace. Neither said a word, Sam just held her arms out and Grace ran for her. Clinging tightly to her mother, Grace whispered;
"We're gonna get Dad back."
Sam tightened her grip of Grace and nodded. "That's right baby we are."

So there's the first chapter. The next episode I do will be Death Knell. I'm not going to do every episode because well I'm doing that with CSI:NY and it takes a lot of time. So I'm just going to do a few episodes from every season eventually leading back to how Sam and Jack met. Let me know what you think, flame policy stands and for those who don't know what the policy is, head to my profile it's at the end and thanks for reading.
