"Sir, are you sure this is necessary?" The Captain asked.

"Yes. He is best suited for the job whether he wants to admit it or not. Gather your unit and get to Toronto by twelve hundred hours tomorrow."

"Yes Sir!" The Captain saluted, did a crisp about face, and marched out of his commanding officer's building. This is not going to be good! He thought as he looked at the folder in his hands. He couldn't believe that the General was doing this...to his own son!


Chapter 2 - Family

"Jules, are you sure you want us to come over? We don't mind if you tell us you need to reschedule so that Sam can get some much deserved rest." Ed asked for the fourth time since Team One had returned from their last Hot Call for the day.

"I'm sure. He told me a couple of hours ago that he's looking forward to everyone coming over and he already has the beer in the cooler." Jules told her Team Leader and smiled. "He'd probably get mad if you guys don't come by."

"Well, we're all planning on leaving from here if you're still good with that." Spike piped up as he joined the rest of Team One by Winnie's desk. The dispatcher joined them moments later. Winnie had gone to change so she could join the Team tonight at the Braddock residence. She smiled as Spike wrapped his arm around her waist when she stood next to him.

"Ed, do you need to head home first and get Sophie and the kids?" Jules asked as she headed towards the parking lot.

"Nah, Clark is picking me up and Soph is bringing Izzy and Sadie to your house. She'll meet us there." Ed explained as they entered the parking lot.

"I don't think I'll ever be able to thank her enough for watching Sadie while we're at work." Jules commented as she unlocked her jeep.

"She doesn't mind one bit. Besides, it means Izzy has a friend to play with." Ed smiled as he saw Clark pull into the parking lot.

"See you guys at the house." Jules called as she climbed into her jeep and headed for home. She couldn't wait to see if Sam was feeling any better after getting some rest, and to hold her baby girl in her arms again.

Jules, Clark and Ed, Spike and Winnie, Greg and Dean, Leah, and Sophie all pulled up to Jules house at the same time. As Jules climbed out of the jeep she met Sophie walking up the drive.

"Hey Sophie. Where is Sadie?" Jules asked, not seeing her daughter anywhere around.

"Didn't Sam tell you? He picked her up a few hours ago. Said he would let you know so you wouldn't worry." Sophie explained. She hadn't called Jules herself because Sam had said that he would. Now she was thinking she should have mentioned it.

"No, must have slipped his mind." Just answered distractedly as she walked towards her front door.

"Sam?" Jules called as she stepped through her front door, her friends close behind her. She made it a whole two steps inside the door before she stopped in her tracks. She turned quickly to the rest of the group behind her and motioned for them to be silent as she took a few more steps inside.

As soon as Jules had walked through the front door she saw the most amazing sight before her. Sam was laying down on the couch with Sadie on his chest. Both father and daughter were fast asleep. Sadie stirred at the sound of the door opening but Sam, in his sleep, had adjusted his position and placed a comforting hand on her back even as she snuggled closer to him.

"Cherish this Jules. It won't last forever." Sophie whispered in her ear as the group silently moved to the kitchen. They didn't want to wake either Sam or Sadie right now as both needed the nap.

Jules simply smiled as she walked into the living room. She took hold of a blanket and pulled it overboth her husband and daughter. She then planted a gentle kiss on both of their heads before quietly joining her guests in the kitchen.

"They both sleeping soundly?" Ed asked as he handed Jules a beer from the cooler.

"Yeah." Jules answered softly with a slight tilt of her head. "I don't want to wake either of them up until we have to." She told them.

"We'll keep it down then." Spike commented, even though Jules could see that he wanted so badly to do something to Sam while he slept.

"Spike, you will leave him alone or I swear I will put cottage cheese in your tac vest for a month!" Jules glared at the prankster.

"Who? Me? Never!" Spike declared with a hand on his chest in mock horror.

"What can we do to help with dinner Jules?" Greg asked, putting an end to the teasing banter.

The Team worked effortlessly together, even in the kitchen. It was approximately an hour later that a tired Sam walked in with Sadie in his arms.

"Hey guys." Sam greeted his friends.

"Hey Samtastic! You're alive!" Spike called in his best Frankenstein voice as he walked over to Sam in order to play with Sadie. "Whoa! Did you teach her how to fill her diaper Sam?"

"Spike." Sam looked into the tech's eyes completely serious. "You do remember I know over fifty ways of killing grown men with my bare hands don't you?"

The entire group just stared at Spike and Sam as they had a stare down, neither man willing to be the one to back down first. Ultimately it was Sophie that saved the day.

"Come on boys, let me have Sadie so we can take care of her dirty diaper." Sophie gently took Sadie from her daddy's arms and laughed as she headed to the nursery to change the smelly diaper.

"How are you feeling Samo?" Ed asked as he offered the other officer a cold beer.

Sam finally broke eye contact with Spike as he looked to Ed, a smile crossing his face.

"Sore, but good." Sam answered, taking the beer and offering Ed a grateful smile. "Thanks."

"Rolie told us you had quite an eventful day." Greg commented as he sipped on his soda.

"I've had worse." Sam pulled Jules into his uninjured side. "Today the good outweighs the bad. I have a gorgeous wife, a beautiful daughter, great friends, and a baby on the way. Life couldn't be better." Sam smiled as he looked down to his wife.

"Well we're all glad you're okay Sam." Dean commented from where he stood next to Clark.

"Yeah. We would have never heard the end of it from Jules if you had been badly injured." Spike commented with a sideways glance at Jules, expecting a punch in the arm for his comment. She didn't disappoint.

"Come on guys. Dinner's ready and I'm starving!" Leah commented as Sophie came back with a fresh Sadie in her arms.

Jules took Sadie and snuggled a tad bit closer into Sam's embrace.

"Thanks for coming guys." Jules said sincerely.

"Jules, you, Sam, Sadie, and the new baby are family to us. It does't matter where we are, or what we are doing we will always have our hands on each other's backs." Greg smiled as he looked around at his Team, his family. "It's been too long since we've spent this time together and I can't tell you how thankful I am that you asked us here."

Around the room were raised drinks and a chorus of "Here, here!"

"There's no place we'd rather be." Spike smiled as he repeated words that he had heard Sam and Jules say on many occasions.

Even though they weren't all on Team One anymore they all knew that nothing would break the bond of brotherhood that the officers all shared. They were family!


"Okay men, gear up. We report to the flight line in thirty minutes." Captain Williams bellowed as he entered the barracks where the rest of his unit bunked.

"Where to Captain?" Sargent Adams asked as the men started to pack up the few things that weren't already stored and ready to go.

"We're flying out to Toronto tonight. We report there at twelve hundred hours tomorrow." Williams explained.

"Why?" Jackson asked.

"I am not authorized to brief anyone until we arrive Private." Williams answered.

"I hope it's not a mission." Master Corporal Cole muttered. "We're still down a man after Johnson left."

"That won't be an issue much longer. Get your things squared away and get moving. We have a long flight ahead of us." Captain Andrew Williams ordered before leaving the barracks.

Once they reported to Toronto they would pick up the last member of their unit. If I can get him to come that is. Andrew thought. He knew he had quite a task ahead of him. He just hoped the man wouldn't cut his throat for being the bearer of bad news.

"Maybe the General will call ahead." Andrew muttered out loud, even though he knew that probably wouldn't happen. He was pretty sure he was out of luck on that front.

Twenty five minutes later Williams and his unit were on the tarmac and loading their gear into the waiting jet. The Canadian Air Force was giving them a lift out. As the unit strapped in to their seats Williams simply hoped that they could pull this mission off. Lives were depending on it!
