Twenty Five Years ago
Lieutenant Jack O'Neill was stationed at Peterson air force base when he got a phone call from Dun Laoghaire Ireland at 1500 hour.
"O'Neill, phone call long distance."
"Thanks sir," Jack said and walked over to the nearest phone
"O'Neill,"
"Jonny, it's Uncle Brain!"
"Hi, what's up, you know that I'm at work unless it's important?"
"Jonny it's your nanna, she had a stroke, and it's not good, she asking for you." Jack was shocked with the news.
"Ok I'll see what I can do, you tell her to hang in there till I get there!"
"Will do; let me know what time you're flight will be."
"Sure, bye." Then he hung up.
Jack's nanna is Grace Josephine O'Neill, Jack's great grandmother who turned one hundred four months ago. He was able to take some leave to go over and surprise her in his dress blues. She was so happy when he walked in the door wearing them. Jack knew it was the happiest day for her and she was so proud of him that day. When they had a chance to talk in private, she told him.
"Jon you made me so happy today, you are the best birthday surprise walking in wearing your uniform, I'm so proud of you for what you had done with you self!" she said smiling. Jack was sitting on the edge of the bed facing her, holding her hand.
"Thanks nanna just to see your face light up when I walked into the room, I knew you were happy,"
"I suppose all those young girls today are swarming around you in your uniform?" She questioned, at which Jack laughed.
"Yes they think any guy in uniform is hot!" Grace giggle and Jack rolled his eyes.
"Jon there is some thing you should know, I've change my will few years ago"
"Nanna" Jack was getting concerned.
"Jon, I'm leaving every thing to you, which isn't much just some money in the bank and my engagement ring, when I die I'm going to be wearing my wedding ring."
"Nanna what about the rest of the family?"
"Jon when you come to visit me, you never ever asked for any thing but hugs and kisses. Since you were a little whippersnapper, you always smile and give me a hug hello and the same when you say good bye and whisper 'I love you nanna' to me and give me a kiss on the check. None of the other children do that, they only come to ask for money and no thanks, no nothing!"
"Why do I get the feeling that there is a catch?" She smiled at him.
"You are so much like you grandfather he always asked the same thing and yes there is,"
"Ah-ha I knew it, ok what's the catch?" He said smiling waving his finger at her.
"Jon if you die and you're not married, the money will be spilt among the family," Jack was shocked with the news.
"What if I was divorce?"
"If you divorce and no children, it's still the same thing Jack"
"Ok I understand, I'll have to find a beautiful looking woman who will marry me as me, not the money and not the uniform!"
"I'm sure there is one out there Jon who will love you just the way you are, what ever happens I just want you to be happy!"
"Don't worry nanna; I will be happy and safe,"
"You do that," she smiled, and they both hugged.
"I love you nanna," he whispered.
"I love you to Jon!"
Jack though about the last time he seen her, talked to her. He calls her twice a month and now with the news, it hit him in the heart. He went to his CO's office and knocked on the door.
"Come" Jack walked in and stood at attention and waited for his CO to look up.
"Is there some thing I can do for you Lieutenant?"
"Yes sir, permission to take leave of absence sir?"
"Is it to do with the phone call you got few minutes ago?"
"Yes sir it was my uncle Brain, his is my grandfather's brother, he called to let me know that my nanna suffered a stroke and she's on borrowed time, she asking for me sir."
"Is it that same nanna you saw few months ago?"
"Yes sir, she turns one hundred three months ago"
"Permission granted Lieutenant, you've got one month off"
"Thank you sir!" Jack saluted which his CO returned.
"Dismissed" Jack left his CO's office, and headed to the locker rooms and got changed.
He left the base and went to his apartment and made some phone calls and to pack his bags. He then he called for a taxi to the airport, and he was on the next flight to Ireland. Jack arrived at Dublin airport sixteen hours later. He was greeted by one of his cousins there.
"How is she?"
"Still hang on the old coot" Jack stoped, and dropped his bags. Before he knew it, Jack had his cousin up against the nearest wall
"She is not an old coot you got that, she is our nanna, and have some respect!" Jack was really pissed off with what his cousin just said and the look Jack gave him scared him. He'd never Seen Jack so angry before, that was of course until now.
"Ok, ok, sorry do you want to see her or not?"
"Yes, next time watch what you say!"
"Ok!" He had his hands up in the air, and Jack stepped back and picked up his bags and started walking with his cousin in tow.
Half an hour later they arrived at the rest home where Grace has been living for the past twenty years. Jack walked into the big room where all the family members were, he walked straight to the bed and sat down on the edge of it and picked up her hand in his and used the other one to cup the side of her face. He was looking at her with tears in his eyes.
"Jon" He heard her say quietly
"I'm here nanna, I'm here." She opens her brown eyes and looked at Jack, she smiled at him which he did in return, and then he leant over and kissed her forehead and then whispered.
"I will always love you nanna"
"I will always love you Jack" that shocked him, he moved back so he could look at her.
"I've known for years you hated been called Jon and you wanted every one to call you Jack"
"Nanna, you can call me Jon or Jack,"
"Jack suits you!"
"I know," he said smiling.
"Take care of your self Jack and I'll always be there for you!"
"I know"
"I love you"
"I love you to." She closed her eyes and her hand went limp in his, he started crying as he kissed her forehead one last time.
Later that evening he called his CO to let him know that his nanna past away not long after he arrived at her bed side, his CO sent his condolence's on behalf of his team and the personal from the base, which Jack was grateful for.
Four days later Grace was buried next to her late husband Patrick whom past away eighteen years earlier; Jack was wearing his dress blues that day. He stayed at the Conrad hotel away from the family so he could have time to him self.
A week later, was the reading of the will, as Grace promised the engagement ring and the money went to Jack. Since they don't know how much it is since there was more than ten different accounts in Ireland and South Africa. The rest of the family weren't happy that they got nothing, but as the lawyer continued on reading the will, and heard what will happen if he died, they all understood and they hoped that he didn't get married.
Ten years later they weren't happy when they got the wedding innovation to his wedding to Sara, and then nine months later Charlie was born. All their hopes were dashed. But they still kept in contact with him and asked him for some money, which he keep saying 'no' to them.
Nine years later Charlie was killed and Jack and Sara divorced, when the family found out about the divorce, they went to see him, but he was away on a mission and didn't know when he would return, but he did return alive and well.When there was a funeral, wedding or special birthday, Jack was always invited.
Over the next seven years whenever he was invited, the innovation was also for whom he wanted to join him since he lives in the states. When ever Jack showed up Sam was with him. They all can see how happy he is and found out that she is just a friend from work.
The day that Jack had the ancient knowledge down loaded again, he was in the infirmary waiting to be poked and prodded by Janet. He was thinking about his life and what happened over the years, and then he remembered his late nanna and what they talked about.
"Jon there is some thing you should know, I've change my will few years ago"
"Nanna" Jack was getting concerned.
"Jon, I'm leaving every thing to you, which isn't much just some money in the bank and my engagement ring, when I die I'm going to be wearing my wedding ring"
"Nanna what about the rest of the family?"
"Jon when you come to visit me, you never ever asked for any thing but hugs and kisses. Since you were a little whippersnapper, you always smile and give me a hug hello and the same when you say good bye and whisper 'I love you nanna' to me and give me a kiss on the check. None of the other children do that, they only come to ask for money and no thanks, no nothing!"
"Why do I get the feeling that there is a catch?" She smiled at him
"You so much like you grandfather he always asked the same thing and yes there is"
"Ah-ha I knew it, ok what's the catch?" He said smiling waving his finger at her
"Jon if die and your not married, the money will be spilt among the family" Jack was shocked with the news
"What if I was to divorce?"
"If you divorce and no children, it's still the same thing Jack"
"Ok I understand, I'll have to find a beautiful looking women who well marry me as me, not the money and not the uniform"
"I'm sure there is one out there Jon who will love you just the way you are, what every happens I just want you to be happy"
"Don't worry nanna; I will be happy and safe"
"You do that" they both hug
"I love you nanna" he whispered
"I love you to Jon"
"I love you nanna" Jack whispered to him self. Then Sam walked in.
"Hey has Janet been in yet?" Jack looked up when he heard Sam's voice.
"No, not yet." Then he remembered what he said to his nanna
"Ok I understand, I'll have to find a beautiful looking women who well marry me as me, not the money and not the uniform"
Then he realises that, the women is Sam who he has gotten to know over the past seven years, whom she accepted him the way he is, crazy humour, scars. Every thing about him and he's also been in love with her from the moment she walked into the briefing room that one morning. The way she tried to seduce him in the locker room, with what he did to her in the time loops, ever thing. Then he came out of his throughs when she was standing in front of him concerned.
"Are you ok sir?"
"Just thinking"
"Thinking, now that is new for you sir!" She said smiling
"Carter… Sam can we talk but not on base? Perhaps tonight if you are free?" He asked gently, knowing that she been seeing Pete Shannon for the past three months.
"Sure, want me to come around to your place?"
"I'll come around to your's say six?"
"Sure that's fine by me, are you sure your ok sir?"
"I will be," he muttered, just as Janet walked in
"See you tonight then sir"
"Ok." Then Sam walked out of the room. Jack watched her walk out then he looked at Janet.
"What?"
"You still love her don't you?"
"Yes, hey doc you got this weekend off right?"
"Yes why?"
"Doing anything?"
"No"
"Good" Then Janet gave him his jabs and normal post op examinations before he was given the all clear.
