A/N: I know I said I would finish my other story first, but this Stargate story has been in my head for months and I cannot get rid of it. So, I am putting my other story on hold until further notice. I also have a little bit of writer's block in it as well, so until I can unblock it, I won't be of much use. Now, here is my latest story. This is my first Stargate story, for an of the series, so I hope you enjoy it. If they seem a bit OOC, PLEASE TELL ME! I would hate for them to be OOC.
Thank you! Reviews are very much appreciated!

Summary: After a one night stand, Sam leaves the SGC with little notice. Ten years later, she returns, seeking help to find he missing daughter. The new SG-1 team consisting of Jack, Teal'c, Daniel, and Vala, begin to wonder why she wouldn't tell them about the child when she left.

Warnings: rated M just in case. All ten season warnings, just in case, but it will have some twists put into the story to bring some of my favorite characters in!

Prologue: Leaving

It was time. The government had accepted her early retirement form and she was leaving. It was time to tell them. They had a right to know; at least, they had to know part of it. It was the only way they wouldn't come after her. So she had to tell them. Major Carter found herself putting letters to each individual team member under the doors of their offices or rooms. Teal'c had almost caught her. And Vala, being the nosy person she is, tried to catch her in her office before she left the SGC for good. But all of her things had already been cleared out of her office that morning, and were in her car at the bottom of the mountain. Daniel had been so busy working on translations of the lastest information from P3X-496 that he didn't notice the letter until she had already gone.
And then there was Col. O'neill. Jack. Well, he was a whole other story. She had written him a special letter that consisted of information no one else had recieved. She read it one last time before she would push it under his office door, and leave the SGC for good.

Dear Col.
There is no easy way to say this. So I will find myself thinking if I should cut to the chase like you would tell me to, or blabber on in a language you will never understand. But then again, Daniel would probably explain it to you if you asked him to. However, this letter is a little more personal than the ones I gave to Daniel, Vala, and Teal'c. So, I have to ask that you not show it to them seeing as it will probably get us both court marshaled if they knew, despite that we were drunk when we slept together. The fact of the matter is, sir, that it did happen. And there is nothing we can do to take it back. I need you to understand that when you find out the truth, please, don't blame yourself. It's not because of you,
or because of what we did. It has nothing to do with that. There are just some things in life that have to. be done. And this is one of them. I might as well come right out and say it now that I've come to the end of my letter. I have retired from the SGC and the Air Force. I'm moving away and I will probably never be able to return to see this place again. And despite how much I know I will want to, I won't be able to see any of SG-1 again. Including you, sir. And I must ask you not to come looking for me. There are some things that are better left unsaid. Goodbye being one of them, but in this case, it has to be said. Which means, it has to stay Goodbye. There will be no "See you soon" or "See you later." That's just the way it has to be. Goodbye, sir.

Major Samantha Carter, retired.

She took one last look at it, and then put it under the door. She rode the elevator to the top of the command center and left, not looking back. She knew if she did, she wood go right back in, jump in Jack's arms and tell him everything, ruining both of their careers and the life of their child. For it would always be known as a child of a court matialable offense, prbably being put into Foster care for life, never knowing who it's parents were or what had happened to keep them out of it's life. No. She wouldn't let that happen. She would take care of it. By herself, even if that meant giving up everything she loved; her work, her friends and co-workers, and... Jack.
