1General George Hammond was sitting at his desk reading a mission report when there was a knock at the door. "Come." His 2IC, Colonel Jack O'Neill walked in looking a little nervous about something. The General indicated the chair before his desk as he sat the report back down. "What's on your mind, Colonel?"

"Sir, I understand that one of the Academy doctors, Dr. Janet Fraiser, will be coming to work here at the SGC."

The General noticed Jack was trying to look anywhere but at him. "Yes, Colonel, Dr. Fraiser is one of the military's leading experts on exotic diseases. I thought it might be helpful to have someone with that kind of knowledge at our disposal. There's no telling what might be brought back through that 'Gate. Is there some problem you might have with Dr. Fraiser?"

Colonel Jack O'Neill, the man who had battled Iraqis, Jaffa, and Goa'uld without showing any emotion whatsoever, actually blushed. "Well, sir, in the interest of full disclosure, I think it best to inform you that Janet Fraiser and I have a son. We were together for a short time about fifteen years ago. By the time she knew she was pregnant, I was overseas somewhere. When I saw her again, Michael Thomas O'Neill was almost two. I offered to marry her but she could tell that it was only out of obligation to our son so she turned me down. I've spent what time I can with him over the years. It was hard for a while because Sara didn't like Janet. Michael is fourteen now and wants to join the Air Force after high school. My relationship with Dr. Fraiser these days mostly deals with passing information about Michael back and forth. I thought you should know sir."

The General considered this information for a moment before replying, "Thank you for coming to me with this Jack. Does your team know about your son?"

"Daniel knows about Charlie. I haven't told anyone about Michael. I don't think I know them well enough yet. Maybe someday I'll be ready to tell them. But not right now."

"Okay, Colonel, just make sure that your relationship to Dr. Fraiser remains completely professional while on this base and we won't have a problem."

"That shouldn't be hard, sir. I usually avoid the infirmary at all costs." Both men gave a little chuckle as they knew how true that statement really was.

As the Colonel turned to leave the office, General Hammond called after him, "Jack," the other man turned around before his commanding officer added, "I'd like to meet this son of yours if that's ok."

"Sure, come by my place on Saturday, around five."

TWO YEARS LATER

Two teenagers were rushed into the infirmary. One was on a Gurney, while the other one ran beside it. The boy looked at the doctor as she came running over. "Mom?"

"Briefing room, Level 26. Don't waste any time. I'll need to operate."
