Before the SGC

AU-Before Sam and Jack met at the SGC, what if they met when Charlie was a baby?

I don't know when Charlie was born or when Sam and Jack received their various promotions, so I'm making some of this up as I go.

I don't own any of the SG-1 characters, even if I wish I did!

Samantha Carter stood outside Colonel Carter's office.  She knew she had to talk to her father sooner or later and knocked on the door.

"Enter," Jacob Carter called from inside.  Samantha walked into his office.

"Hi Dad, when are you going to give me that tour of the base you promised me?" Samantha asked as she walked over and sat in the chair across from her father's desk.

"Oh Sammy, I can't today, I have to deal with all kinds of paperwork because of the new General taking over.  There's no way I can get out of it, I'm sorry," Jacob said sadly. 

"It's okay Dad.  I can always get the tour net time I'm here.  I only have tomorrow left before I have to go back to school," Samantha reminded her father.

"I know, if you wanted, I could have one of the officers on desk duty show you around the base," Jacob offered.

"It wouldn't be the same, but yeah, I'd like that.  Just don't send me with one of those old crusty colonels who complain all the time," Samantha teased.

"Gee thanks, let's see, who is the grumpiest person I can think of to send you around the base with?  I know, O'Neill," Jacob reached for the phone.

"Whoa, wait a minute Dad, just who is this guy?" Sam asked.  "He isn't one of those gung-ho, might sprain something he stands at attention so stiffly guys right out of boot camp or the academy, is he?"

"No, he's a major.  He and his wife just had a baby, and she took their son to see her parents but wouldn't let O'Neill come for some reason.  He's been moping around since she left.  If you could cheer him up, the entire base would probably kiss your feet," Jacob assured his worried daughter. 

"Okay, I guess that's better than some grumpy old colonel," Samantha consented. 

"Right, I'll have him meet you outside the building.  We still on for dinner tonight?" Jacob asked as he wrote a quick note of explanation to O'Neill, leaving out his relationship to Samantha like always.  He handed the finished note to her.

"Thanks, of course we are.  Although, I just might invite Major O'Neill to join us," Samantha smiled at her father as she turned to leave. 

"See you tonight Sam," Jacob called after her as he picked up the phone to page Major Jack O'Neill.
