I gotta need to feed help a sista out.
Torn, tattered, beat-up and faded it never changed nothing about it ever change. That photo no mater what shape it was in was a risk a man like him wouldn't take. Even if it all was so long ago it was still on his mind. Just as easy as one child had died another was a good as dead to him and there was little he could do about. Yet the pain never left, even after having another child holding him loving him and caring for him didn't change the massive loss you felt in abandoning one like it was a lost cause.
Oh how life changed, what seemed so simple so long ago, looked horrid and wrong now. Young and foolishly in love but not smart enough to know that a life would forever be changed by a simple act. What made Jack O'Neill who he was, life long and hard the kind that reflected the things he did. Things he hadn't even told her and she may have been the one women in his life that would understand. How could she? How could he, he couldn't only that the Tokra knew and now and again his voice whispered in his head.
She will forgive you
Who? Sam or the photo, it was two actually, one of her holding his hand while she tired to walk in his boots only one at the time. The other of her smiling at him while he took the picture, his little girl. There was no place he went she wasn't wrapped around his neck. Those who even remember him back then remembered one thing. That sweet baby girl died, but Jack new the truth, he left them, her mother a women with two children of her own. Lonely and in need of understanding from someone, and Jack was understanding.
She watched him it was the same every time around this particular date. He become distant and angry, he was down right not himself. They all new he had sides but he was careful only to show one, the goofy commander with balls of steel. She even went so far as to check into back ground, she found nothing, nothing that would point to why this week of all weeks every year was the worst for him.
It was her birthday she would be 21 tomorrow, 21 and all he had was one year of her life. How did this happen? How did he just end up not even knowing where she was, if she was alive breathing or happy? How he be who he was and not go after her with all that was in him. She after all was Elizabeth Susan O'Neill his baby girl. He felt the familiar hand on his shoulder and could only give her a soft smile. Maybe it was time to tell her.
-Come to my place for dinner.-
-Okay.-
What did she expect? He was so cold these last few weeks. Would he ask her not to marry Pete to remember that she loved him? How could she ever forget that? She never wanted to forget it's like everything else is what kept her going on the hardest days.
-I have a daughter.-
She never expected that.
-She'll be 21 tomorrow.-
Oh god not this.
-How-
-I was young just starting out in the Air Force. I meet a woman already married with two children. She got pregnant and had our daughter. Things went down hill form there, and in the end, I had to cut my losses and leave.-
-What does that mean-
-Black Ops made things complicated. So much so in fact that if I had of done anything other then what I did. I'd would've had to burry Charlie next to her.-
She got up from the cough, walking around that table. She suddenly couldn't breathe, what seemed the darkest part of him she knew and now this.
-Why-
-I couldn't I didn't want to see that look on your face.-
-What look, shock-
-Anger.-
-I'm not the one who gave up a child-
-No but you are the one I love.- She gasped.
He was to raw now, not to speak the truth, at least not with her standing in the room. This women was the truth to him, she blew his mind away, minded his soul and his world.
-I can't understand why you did this. Give an up a child I see the pain losing Charlie caused you, why would you willingly not want to be apart of her life-
-I killed a man.-
Her face changed.
-You've killed plenty of men.- Her tone deadly and angry.
-Yes but this man wasn't supposed to die. It's how I got into black Ops in the first place. They promised she'd die if I didn't do as I was told.-
-They always do! You son of a bitch Jack O'Neill.-
-Sam.-
-No, you gave up. You never give up on anything any one. How could you-
She looked at his face, her arm ached and before she realized it she was holding him. He slumped into her hold, his head in her neck, warm breath running down her body. He was trembling, shaken, so many years and he never told her celebrating his daughter birth alone and broken hearted. How long had they stayed like that neither really knew. They didn't care either as long as it was each other. He lifted his head and looked into her eyes.
-Help me.-
-How-
-I can't let her go another day without knowing her father loves her.-
-What ever I can do.-
-There so much Sam.- He said taking her head into his hands.
-Jack.-
He kissed her she could count on one hand how many times he kissed her and each one made the bond between them stronger. He needed her and she was there that was all there was to it. Dedication to a cause they both believed in kept them from stepping over the line. But some days, some days you just needed. He needed.
She left his place she had to, if she didn't, she knew she wouldn't have stop him until he was buried inside of her, showing her just how much he did love her. She couldn't do that to Pete, she actually did love the man. Just never as much as she loved Jack O'Neill, she doubted there ever be any man she loved more. They would talk about this tomorrow best way to approach his daughter.
Jack came into her lab, not in his usual manner. This whole thing still affecting him in deep and dark ways. She could tell 21 years had taken its toll on him.
-I found her.-
-What-
-Elizabeth Susan Webber, she had quite a past. Known trouble maker no real arrest though.-
-Where is she-
-Port Charles, New York. Been there for three years now.-
-What about her mother-
-Some where in Europe.- Sam shrugged.
-That sound like good parenting- He asked bitterly.
-So what are going to do-
-Book a flight.- He said turning and leaving.
