Author's Notes: Okay, so this is a WIP and the muse already took me totally off track as to where I wanted to be when this thought first entered my mind. And my muse adding in things that I didn't even know would happen until the pen was on the paper writing it. Geez, talk about bossy. Anyhow, I have written a lot of parts so far so every day I will try to post at least 2. When I reach to where I run out of chapters and am still writing updates might be few and far between because it is hard to find time to write with a full time job, college full time and 2 kids (both 5). But I shall try my hardest. If my writing sucks let me know because then I will stop writing at 2 a.m. and try writing when I am more awake. I would love feedback since this is my first story. If I'm doing something wrong or you think I could improve let me know and I will surely work on it. Thanks! Enjoy!

Disclaimer: Not mine. Well… a couple characters that aren't in the show are mine, but main characters aren't. Bummer! Yada yada yada…I'm not making any money…yada yada yada.

On with the story…

PART 1

"I don't see why you have to have these parties every weekend that you're home."

Colonel Jack O'Neill looked at his wife, Sara.

"It forms a stronger bond within the team and gives us a strengthened sense of one another." Jack explained.

"You work in a damn mountain! What can be so dangerous about that?"

Before Jack could respond, Charlie, their ten year old son, came running down the stairs.

"Hey dad I hope you don't mind I invited Bryan from school over. His mom wasn't going to be home tonight and I thought it would be cool for him and Cassie to meet."

"Not a problem, buddy, but who's Bryan?" Jack asked, watching his wife walk away.

"Bryan Cater. New kid at school. I feel bad for him. He's a total geek, but I think he'll make an excellent friend."

"I hope you have a blast then."

"Thanks dad." Charlie replied, running back up the stairs.

Thirty minutes later the doorbell rang. Jack went to answer it when Charlie came running down the stairs.

"I got it! It's Bryan. I told him to get here early." Charlie yelled.

Since Jack was already at the door, he opened it and his breath caught in his throat. Charlie came running up to the door. "Come on Bryan. I want to show you that new comic book."

Bryan started walking towards Charlie when his mother spoke, "Bryan be good and mind your manners."

"Okay mom."

Jack watched the boys run upstairs.

"Thanks for letting your son invite him over."

"Not a problem." Jack responded. "I'm Jack O'Neill."

"Samantha Carter." she replied. "Oh here's my cell number in case anything happens." she said handing him a piece of paper. "I should be back by 9 at the latest, if that's okay."

"That's fine. We're having a couple other people over including another kid their age. They should have fun."

"Jack, who's at the door?"

"Sara this is Samantha Carter. Samantha Carter this is my wife Sara."

"Nice to meet you."

"You too. Are you the newbie to Jack's team?" Sara questioned.

Confusion washed over Samantha's face. ""Uh…no. I just came to drop off my son."

Sara just nodded.

"Thanks again." Sam said, to both of them.

"No problem." Jack replied, as Sara walked back into the house.

He watched as Samantha Carter walked away. He seen Dr. Janet Fraiser pull up so decided to wait for her at the door. Surprise rippled through him as excitement filled Janet's face and the two women hugged. They exchanged words, then Samantha got in her car and drove off.

"Hey Jack. How's it going?" Janet questioned him.

"Pretty good. Charlie and his friend are upstairs, Cass."

"Thanks Uncle Jack."

Jack stopped Janet from walking in. "So, you know Samantha?"

"Who? Oh, Sam? Yeah, we go way back. Went to high school together."

"Really?"

"Yeah. What is she doing here anyway?"

"Charlie and Bryan met at school. Charlie invited him over." Jack moved aside. "Come on in. The others will be here shortly and you can help me finish getting ready."

"Slave driver." Janet mumbled.

"Needle driver." Jack mumbled back with a smirk.

TBC...

I will take any kind of feedback :D
