O'Boy!

It'sa Boy

A tall, slender woman with straight black waist length hair, sort of Cher-ish, was moving with cat-like grace towards the table at the back of the restaurant where her date was waiting. She was wearing a flowing ankle length multicolor skirt and a loose fitting top that clearly showed the unbound assets she possessed. As she drew closer she noticed his sun bleached blonde head tilted down and looking at the table where his long and talented fingers where nervously tapping. Not a good sign. Granted, he always has nervous energy and can not keep his hands from fiddling with things, but this was different.

She watched as he spotted her with his warm chocolate brown eyes and gave her the briefest of smiles, really not well. 'Damn! What are you thinking of John?' Lilly thought. It was always hard to know what he was thinking and that is why she started to read his body language to begin with. It helps greatly.

She leaned over to give John a peak on the lips and sat down next to him. "Sorry I'm late."

"That's alright; I went ahead and ordered for us both."

"Thanks. What is it John?" She was not going to let this stretch out like before. She wanted it out now.

"What?" John asked, feigning ignorance.

"Don't start with me. What is wrong?" She stated with a warning in her voice to help emphasis the words.

"Never could get anything past you. You know you are the only one that could do that, other than my mother, that is."

"John!"

"O-man! Look you know I want to go on to college and study astronomy, right?"

"Yes," she knew for a long time, but she also knew he did not have the funds to do it.

"Well I…um…I…I joined the Air Force." There he said it. He looked up into her hazel eyes and waited for the explosion to happen, because he knew how she felt about the military. When nothing happened right away he thought maybe she will take it well.

She stood up and looked down at him and said, "Goodbye John. I hope you get what you want." That was it and she walked away.

I sat there in stunned silence for a moment when I realized that I loved her and was not about to let her walk away with out a fight. But that was just what had happened, because she was already out of sight. I went to her place and it was empty; and I tried her friends but got the big go-around. Never found her that night and ended up going to basic without seeing her ever again.

O

General Jack O'Neill sat at his desk remembering the last time he had seen her and the days after, before he left to go to basic. He had tried to talk with her and she would have none of it. He even sent letters, both before he left and while at basic, and they all came back 'return to sender'.

Jack leaned forward and placed head in his hand and propped his elbows on the desk when he realized that she has pregnant at time and he did not know. 'She would not tell him and she turned around and married someone else.' He froze at that thought. 'How could she do that to me and her son?'

'Son! I have a son.' He sat up straight and wide eyed at the thought of a son, his son.

Jack took a moment to remember the flight over Antarctica with is son. 'Damn, he could fly.' Plus, he is in the Air Force too. Cool!

He looked down at the file and noticed that Lilly had died during an earthquake in '73. Jon would have been three or four. Jack wondered, 'If Lilly had lived, would Jon Sheppard have joined the Air Force?'

Jack called Walter in to tell him he wanted to know when Major Sheppard got in and to let him know immediately.

He sat back and started to reminisce again.
