"Grandma, will you tell us a story please?"
Janet looked at her grandchildren. "Sam, Jack, don't
you guys think you're a little too old for
fairytales?"

"No." Jack said pouting. Janet had a quick flashback
of Jack, pouting when Sam wouldn't go fishing with
him. God how much she missed her husband.

"Alright I'll tell you a story, but it's not going to
be happy. And you Jonathon Charles O'Neill, and you
Samantha Carter O'Neill are going to like it." Ten
years ago her daughter Kelly had come to her and asked
Janet to name her twins. Janet couldn't help herself,
she named them after the pair that loved each other
so, and Jack, bless his heart, had never even noticed.
Daniel had noticed. So had Teal'c and Jacob, but no
one ever told Jack.

Janet was broken out of her thoughts by Sam's voice.
"Grandma are you going to tell us our story now?"

"Oh, oh yeah. Once upon a time there where four people
who worked together on a team called SG-1. Their names
were Colonel Jack O'Neill, he was the Commanding
Officer of the team, Major Samantha Carter, she was a
scientist and second in command, Dr. Daniel Jackson,
he was a civilian
anthropologist/linguist/archeologist, and Teal'c, he
was an alien. SG-1 worked in a place called the SGC.
The SGC was a top secret government facility. SG-1 was
much like a family, and there were two more people in
this family. These people were named Dr. Major Janet
Fraiser and Major General George Hammond. Sam and Jack
loved each other very much. However, Sam and Jack
allowed regulations to keep them apart. SG-1 went on
many missions. On some of these missions they visited
Alternate Realities.
In all of these alternate realities Sam and Jack were
together. They had all made different choices, but all
had the same end result. All but this reality. Now the
entire SGC, and their alien allies the Tok'ra-Sam's
father was one of these-were fighting an alien race
called the goa'uld. On one of these missions SG-1
fought a powerful goa'uld system lord. Sam lost her
life to get SG-1 home. Everyone was devastated,
especially Jack. There was only one person in the
entire galaxy that could console Jack, and that was
Sam's best friend Janet. For Janet had once loved
someone as much as Jack loved Sam. She had loved
Jack's best friend Charlie Kawalsky. He had lost his
life earlier in the war. One night while comforting
each other they made a great mistake. They ended up
having sex. This happened one time, and Janet got
pregnant. Jack was a very noble man, so he married
Janet. Around this time they left the SGC. Not too
long after they left Daniel, Teal'c, and General
Hammond left the SGC as well. There were just too many
memories for everyone to deal with. Janet had a
daughter and they named her Kelly Lynn O'Neill. They
lived for many years as a family, but they were never
happy. You see Jack never loved Janet and Janet never
loved Jack, at least not in the way they were supposed
to. Their daughter knew happiness. Although, that was
because she had parents who loved her, and she never
knew the pain that her parents did. However, nothing
ever stays the same, everything changes. The girl grew
up, fell in love, and moved away. Jack and Janet went
back to mourning their lost loves. They both wished
that they had not taken so long. They had realized too
late not to wait for another day because it might not
be here. Kelly got married, then she fell pregnant.
When the twins were born Kelly and her husband Shane
went to Janet to ask them what they should name them.
She thought about it for a minute, and then she gave
them Sam and Jack's names. When they asked her why she
told them the story about the lost love, and told them
that through their children, their 'family' would be
able to say the thing they always wanted to: Sam and
Jack. So Kelly and Shane named their children as such,
and Janet and Jack had a renewed life due to their
grandchildren. Nine years later while walking through
a store, Jack looked up at a box of Froot Loops,
called Sam's name, and passed out. Janet assessed that
he was dead before he even hit the ground. Jack
welcomed death. In death he was able to spend all of
eternity with his beloved Sam. Janet lives, and to
this day she wishes that she could join her Charlie,
but most of all she wishes that she hadn't of waited
so long to tell him that she loved him. And one day
she will. The End." When Janet finished her story she
noticed her daughter Kelly standing in the doorway
crying. Kelly knew this story for what it really was,
far from being a fairytale it was actually the story
of her parent's lives.

"Mom what's wrong?" Sam and Jack asked together.

"Oh nothing kids." She said while wiping her eyes.
"Well Mom, whenever you told me a story there was a
moral. So what's the moral of this story?"

"Simple my child." Janet said. "Time is of the
essence, so follow your heart while you can, because
you never know when you'll lose the chance."

THE END

I have no idea where this came from. Thank you for
reading this far through. If you didn't like it I will
be awaiting flames.
