Altered Stargate SG-1: "Children of the Gods pt. 1"

"Oh!" General Hammond said, looking between the two people, who definitly looked in love. He knew Sam since she was a little girl, and she had obviously found someone she cared about, he had been retired before, so they hadn't broken any rules. "Well, we'll worry about the lagistics later, we have a mission that can't wait. A week ago five Jaffa came through the gate, one of their eyes glowed, killing two officers, and kidnapping a third. We need you to go to Abidos and figure out what's going on there."

Jack sighed, "Um, sir, if this is the problem, than I have to tell you something. When we were on Abados a year ago, nothing was destroyed."

"You said in your report that the nuclear weapon had detonated and destroyed Ra."

"That's the thing, it did, and he was, but see, Ra's ship was in orbit at the time. Daniel is alive and happyily married to one of the local girls."

"How do we know that they haven't been comprimised. We can't risk sending people through if there might be enemy on the other side."

Jack looked up at Sam, "I don't think we'll have to," He grabbed a box of tissues on the table, "I'll borrow these, and..." He ran out the breafing room, and they activated the gate. Jack threw the box of tissues throught the event horrizon, and in no time, the gate activated again, sending the box sans the tissues, which said on the side, "Thanks, send more."

Sam smiled, "It looks like we have a mission."

General Hammond nodded, "Yes, you will go through the gate, make contact and this time you will bring Daniel Jackson back through the gate, is that understood?"

"Yes General. Um, If I am reinstated, than I'll have to talk to you about regulations, um, cause I'm not willing to sacrifice my relationship with Sam for it sir."

"Jack, you don't have to..."

Hammond nodded, "Captain, Colonel, you don't have to worry about it now, we'll figure it out after you get back from abidos. I have four bodies who I have to explain to their families what happened to them, and I would like you go go and assess the situation. Captain. You go along, you're the most qualified person on earth when it comes to the Stargate."

Less than an hour later, having been dismissed until the mission in the morning, Jack and Sam went to Sam's house to help her move out of her appartment, and into his house, "Jack, are you sure, the General hasn't even talked about what their going to do about our assignment on the same team. I mean, you're a Colonel, and I'm a Captain, I don't want to ruin both of our careers."

Jack took Sam's hand and kissed the back, "Sam, I love you. I haven't felt alive like I have with you since Charlie died, you gave me a new lease on life, to hell with Air Force Regulations. You come first, always." Without hesitation, Jack move forward opening the door, and they began packing up Sam's stuff.

The next morning our favorite couple showed up intime for the mission. They had verified that Daniel was still alive, but they still had no idea where those Gua'uld had come from. "Sam, so, you've never stepped through the stargate before?"

"No Jack, I haven't, what's it like?"

"It's kind of hard to explain." At that moment, the gate Activated, "But your first time is always special." Without hesitation the two walked through the gate at the ready position with Kowalski and four marines ahead of them. Sam watched as the Marines and Kowalski walked through.

"My God, look at this. The energy the Gate must release to create a stable wormhole is astronomical, to use exactly the right word. You can actually see the fluctuations in the event horizon."

Jack sighed, "Honey, just go, or do I need to push you."

"You called me Honey."

Jack chuckled, "I did." He grabbed Sam's hand, "Let's go."

Abydos

"I think I'm going to be sick." Sam said.

"Don't tell me your pregnant?" Jack said playing with her.

"Don't even joke about that. Sir."

"All right, let's check for..." Without warning a bunch of boys showed up out of no where, pointing guns at them. "Um, I think we found them."

"Cha'hari! Cha'hari! Lower your guns." Daniel said, coming out from behind them. "Jack? Welcome back."

Jack walked toward him, but then he saw, "Skaara."

"O'Neill. I did not think to be seeing you again!" They embrased in a gigantic hug.

"Skaara, Daniel, how have you been."

"Good. You?"

"Well, Divorced, and dating again. Sam just moved in with me, Meet Sam Carter. She saved me, just in a less life and death way than you."

"Nice to meet you Sam," Daniel held out his hand. Sha're peered out from behind the curtain, "Sha're, don't be shy."

Jack stepped towards the glowing woman, "Hi. Good to see you. I see there's a whole more of you going on right now."

Daniel chuckled at the confusion on Sha're's face. "Yes Jack, we're going to have a baby. She's about six months along now. So, I figured it would be a matter of time before you had to tell the truth about us still being here."

"Yeah, Why the militia? Something else come through?"

"No, we're just taking precautions. Why?"

Sam, who was looking around like a child at christmas time interupted, "Amazing. This is what was missing from the dig at Giza. This is how they controlled it. It took us 15 years and 3 superconductors to MacGyver a system for the gate on Earth."

"Sam?"

"Look how small it is!"

"Sam!"

"Sorry, Jack, this is just so awsome!"

Daniel sighed, they were a match made in heaven. "What's going on, Jack?"

"Six hostile Aliens came through the Stargate on Earth. Four people are dead, one's missing."

Kawalski stepped forward, "One of them looked like Ra, Daniel."

"Well, they didn't come from here. I mean, the boys take shifts guarding it 36 hours a day. Every day. We'd know if they came though here."

"Well, they came from somewhere, Daniel. I'm going to have a look around."

"I think I can help you find out who it was, but, uh, it's going to have to wait til this sandstorm is over. Uh, we were about to have our evening meal. Why don't you join us?"

They sat down to the food and drink that had been prepared previously. Skaara handed Jack a drink. "What's this?"

"Drink."

Jack tried it, "Oh, Moonshine."

"Moon shine?"

"Yeah. Moonshine, as in booze. Daniel, what are you teaching these kids?"

Sam heard the word, "Jack I don't think you should be drinking right now, we're still on the clock."

"Your right honey."

Kowalski smiled, "So, Sir, who's in charge now."

"Shut up Kowalski."

Skaara had taken something out of his pocket, "O'Neill. Your lighter?"

"No, it's yours. I gave that to you to keep. Remember?" Without warning, Skaara left.

Daniel sighed, watching him leave, "You know, he's never let that out of his sight the whole time you were gone."

"Yeah?"

"So this man who looked like Ra, he must have come through another Gate."

At the gate reference, Sam's head spunn around, "What other Gate?"

Jack sputtered his drink, "A Stargate?"

"But the Stargate only goes here." Sam argued.

"I think you're wrong about that."

"I was there. We ran hundreds of permutations."

"But you didn't have what you need."

Jack sighed as the two scientists battled, "Daniel, what are you talking about?"

Skaara walked back in, "Daniel. The Storm has passed."

Daniel nodded, "I'll show you. Sha're. I'll be back soon, I'm going to show them the drawing I found."

"See you soon, My Dan-el."

Jack and Sam smiled, they weren't the only happy couple in this universe, it looked like. He looked at Kawalski and Ferretti. "Hold the fort."

Ferretti nooded, "Yes, Sir."

The four walked out of the pyramid and when they reached their destination, Jack saw Sam's eyes pop. "Having fun?"

"This is incredible."

Jack chuckled, "Come on."

Daniel led Jack, Sam, and Sha're into the huge structure, and they were greeted with an amazing sight of Egyptian Hyroglyfs like the one on the stargate. "So, I figured that there had to be more to this place, so I started exploring, um, this area around the town and the pyramid at first. And after about a month, I found this place. Sam, you're going to love this."

"Oh, my God. This is amazing. This is the archaeological find of the century."

"Daniel, you had a chance to translate this yet?"

"I think so."

"What's it say?"

"Well, it doesn't say anything. Actually, it's sort of a chart, more of a map."

"Of?"

"Well, I haven't been able to analyze all of it. I mean look at it. It would take my whole life."

"Well, Daniel, we don't have that long. What's it a map of?"

"Well, the cartouches seem to be separated clearly into groupings. Each grouping is attached to the others by a series of lines, and each grouping contains seven symbols, so you can see where this is going of course."

"Tell us anyway, although, Sam probably can understand you better than I can."

"Well, all of the symbols are on the Stargate in the Abydos chamber. I've also managed to chart some of them in the Abydos sky, or at least pretty close. Jack, I think this is a map of a vast network of Stargates, Stargates that are all over the galaxy."

Sam shook her head, "I don't think that can be, Doctor."

"Why not?"

"Well, because after Jack and his team came back, my team tried hundreds of symbol permutations using Earth as the point of origin, and it never worked."

"Well, I tried the same here and it didn't work either. But I figured the destinations I tried are either destroyed or... buried, but some of them somewhere must still exist."

"I don't think so."

"Then where did your Ra lookalike come from? I don't pretend to know anything about astrophysics, but couldn't the planets change? I mean, drift apart or something like that to throw this map off."

Sam smiled, "I knew I'd like you."

Jack's jealocy monster inside him growled, "Sam, what do you mean, you knew you'd like him?"

"Jack, shut up. You know I love you, and only you."

Jack nodded, "Well, all right then."

Daniel was still staring at them, "You mean I'm right."

Jack watched as Sam went into scientist mode. "According to the expanding universe model, all bodies in the universe are constantly moving apart."

Daniel jumped, "So in the thousands of years since the Stargate was build..."

"All the co-ordinates could have changed."

"But why does it still work between Abydos and Earth?"

"Abydos is probably the closes planet in the network to Earth. I mean, the closer they are, the less the difference in relative position due to expansion. The further away, the greater the difference. In a few thousand more years, it won't work between Earth and Abydos either."

"Unless you can adjust for the displacement."

"Right. Now with this map as a base, that should be easy. All we have to do is correct for Doppler shift. Then I should be able to arrive at a computer model that will predict the adjustments necessary to get the Gate working again."

Jack looked between the two nerds in his life, "Okay. So what did we just figure out?"

Sam looked at Jack looking totally lost, "Well, honey, any civilization advanced enough to build this Gate network would be able to compensate for 50,000 yars of stellar drift."

Jack nodded, "So, the Stargate can go other places."

Sam looked up, alarmed, "The aliens could have come from anywhere."

Back at the Stargate, Ferretti, Kowalski, Ska're, and Skaare were sitting around with other Abydonians. Ferretti whispered at Kowalski, "Man, you've got to give Daniel credit. She's one beautiful woman."

Just then the Gate started moving, Every person in the room ran for cover. Skaara, under orders from Daniel, grabbed Sha're, and they ran.

The Marines, and the Abdonians were unprepared to handle the forces coming through the gate. A Serpent Guard grabbed Sha're. "No!" She screamed, but then she was thrown on the grownd when he realized that she was heavy with child and not able to have a symbiote.

Without thinking, Skaara tried to attack, but Teal'c grabbed him, seeing his weapon, "This is not your weapon. Where did you get it?"

Skaara spit in his face, Teal'c glared back, but Apophis saw him, "Good choice, Teal'c. A perfect specimen." Apophis saw Sha're on the ground. "You may have been the one, too bad you have been ruined." He walked back through the gate.

Just then Daniel and the others arrived, they had ran back at the sound of Gun fire. "Sha're! Sha're!" He saw Sha're on the ground, "Are you hurt!"

Sha're nodded her head, "No, but they took Skaare. There were so many. Although our child saved me."

"What. Why, how?"

"Apophis said I would have been a perfect specimen, had I not been ruined. I was so scarred, but you have to go find Skaara, you have to find my brother!"

Daniel nodded, "What Happened?"

"It was Ra!" Sha're said, almost histerical.

Sam and Jack ran in, Jack looked around, "What's going on?"

"Sha're, Ra is dead, you know this."

"But I saw Ra. He took Skaara through the chaapa'ai."

"Did you see the address."

"What's going on Daniel? Could there be another Ra?"

"How the Hell should I know? I should have left the barricade up. This is my fault."

Sam ran up, "Jack, Ferretti needs medical attention, Now!"

Jack nodded, "Daniel, you're coming with us this time, Daniel. I've got orders."

"I don't care about your orders, Colonel. My brother-in-law is out there. And I won't leave Sha're."

Jack sighed, "I'm sure she'll be fine here."

"I'm not leaving her!"

Jack sighed, "Fine, you can take her allong. The only way we're gonna get 'em back is if you come home with us. Sha're said she saw the address. Sam, do you have the video?"

She nodded, "I got everything I need."

Feretti mumbled, "Too many."

Daniel saw the seriousness of Ferretti's situation, as did Sha're. "Let's go with them Dan-el. There we can find Skaara, then we can come back later."

Daniel looked at her, "You sure,"

"Yes, my Dan-el. We must find him."

"All right, Lea. Lea." All the people gathered around Daniel, "After we go through the chaapa'ai, you have to bury it like we did before and then leave this place."

One of the boys asked, "You come back?"

"No. We can't. Nobody can, that's what I'm telling you. Not for a... long time. Now as soon as we're gone, I want you to close it. Bury it. Put a bug heavy cover stone over it. Nothing good could ever come through this Gate, do you understand me?"

"You came through it, Dan-el."

"Do you remember the story I told you? How the ancient Egyptians on Earth cut themselves off from Ra? Well that's exactly what you have to do. Then in one year, one year from this day you take the cover stone away. Sha're and I will return on that day, hopefully with Skaara, and our new little one, but if we don't make it back, if we don't, if I don't return then you must bury the Gate again forever. Understand?"

They nodded, and Daniel and Sha're cried, hugging all the boys goodbye. Sha're looked at them, "Tell my father, one year, and that I'm sorry."

Sha're walked through the Gate at Daniel's side and arrived on earth hearing, "Stand by for arrival! Stand by for arrival!" and another soldier crying out for a medical team.

"Close the iris!" The iris locked, and then the wormhole shutdown.

Jack looked back at the metal iris, "What the hell is that, sir?"

"Our insurance against any more surprises. Pure titanium- hopefully impenetrable, What happened, Colonel? Who is this?"

"Well, the base camp was hit while we were on recon, sir."

"Same hostiles who attacked us?"

"That's a fair guess. This is Jackson's wife Sha're. Her brother was kidnaped."

Daniel stepped up, with Sha're. "General, hi. Daniel Jackson. I'd like to be on the team that goes after them."

"You're not in any position to make demands Jackson."

"But it's my brother!" Sha're cried, "They took my brother!"
