Lacy here. Next up is Tangent. This is the one where Jack and Teal'c are trapped in the glider that's making it's way out of the solar system. I know it's mean to think, but does anyone else think that Jack is so cute when oxygen deprived? Just my thought. Have fun.

Disclaimer: It isn't going to happen. Not in this reality or any other.

Grace bounced beside Jack as Teal'c flew over head in the X-301.

"That is so cool." Grace said.

Jack nodded his agreement as the two watched as the ship vanished in the clouds. Sam and Daniel smiled at the two. As they waited for Teal'c to show again, George, Major Davis and General Vidrine showed up. They were all introduced. Jack radioed Teal'c to do another fly over and they all turned to where he said he would be coming from. They saw the ship flying at them low. As it flew over, Davis and Vidrine both ducked down while SG-1, Grace and George just bowed their heads some.

"How does it fly?" Vidrine asked.

Jack looked at Grace and rolled his eyes as Sam launched into a very long explanation that Vidrine thankfully interrupted.

"Major, I'll just accept that it flies." Vidrine said.

Jack smiled. "Oh it flies. Yes sir."

Finally Teal'c landed and joined the group.

"So what's next?" Vidrine asked.

"I take second seat in an air-to-air live fire test." Jack said.

George stepped up beside Vidrine. "Our SGC control room will serve as Mission Control sir."

Vidrine nodded. "Light the candle boys."

Jack smiled. "Yes sir."

Davis and George led Vidrine back to the jeep while SG-1 faced each other. Jack had picked Grace up and placed her on his hip.

"You're going to be safe right Dad?" Grace asked. That funny feeling she got was back.

Jack nodded. "Of course Grace. Your mom and I both used to do flights like this all the time." 'Course there was no need to tell Grace that the flights he and Sam had done in the past were usually with real people firing at them with the aim to kill them. She was a bit young for that info.

After Grace gave Jack and Teal'c a hug, Sam gave Jack a kiss then took Grace and she and Daniel headed back to the jeep as well.

"Are we going to be able to see Dad from the SGC?" Grace asked as they drove back.

"I'm afraid not Grace." Davis said. "But we will be able to talk to them."

Grace smiled. "Cool, ok."

"Ah Cheyenne we have a problem."

Grace looked at Daniel as Jack's voice came through the speakers in their headsets. Daniel put his hand on Grace's shoulder but didn't know what to say and from the look on Sam's face, neither did she. Grace pressed her earphones to her ears as Jack told them what was wrong. When he mentioned Apophis, Grace frowned.

"He's not dead?" Grace said.

Daniel answered while Sam talked to Jack. "I don't think it's that he's alive Grace just that before he died he had this put in place."

Grace shook her head. "Stupid snake won't leave us alone even from beyond the grave."

Sam took off her headset and looked at Grace. "Don't worry Grace, we'll get Dad andTeal'c back."

Grace nodded. "I know."

"Anise said it was someone important to both of us." Daniel said.

Grace crossed her arms. "Does she have a degree in cryptic or something?"

"We have to gate address right?" George asked.

Daniel nodded. "Yeah."

George nodded. "Alright, Daniel Sam go. We'll let Jack and Teal'c know what's going on."

Sam and Daniel left the briefing room while Grace stayed behind. She looked up at George.

"Can I tell Dad and Uncle Teal'c?" she asked.

George nodded and held out his hand. "Of course. Come on."

They headed down to the control room and Grace sat beside Davis and put on a headset.

"Dad, Uncle Teal'c. It's Grace. Uncle Daniel and Mom are heading to a planet where there is a Tokra with a ship that's close enough to get you." Grace said. "According to the Torka it's someone important to both of us. Whatever that means. So hold on a little longer. We'll get you home."

After rattling off the time, Grace took off the headset and sighed. Davis looked at her.

"They'll be ok Grace." Davis said.

Grace shook her head. "With what life support and oxygen they have left, I don't think Mom and Uncle Daniel will make it in time."

Davis put his arm around Grace. "You are way too smart for your own good."

Grace smiled. "Mom's fault."

"They'll get there in time Grace." Davis said. "You know how stubborn your father and uncle are. Now that they know help is coming, they'll hold on. Your father always promises to come home right?"

Grace nodded. "It's usually the last thing he says to me before he goes on missions."

"There you go." Davis said. "He'll come home. I know he will because he doesn't strike me as the type to break his promises."

Grace looked down at her hands. "He doesn't. Or tries not to." she looked up at Davis. "You're right. They'll come home."

Janet ran her hand over Grace's hair as the young girl slept on one of the infirmary beds. They had gotten the news that Sam and Daniel had reached the Tokra, who turned out to be Jacob and were now on their way to get Jack and Teal' after receiving the news, George had shown up in the infirmary with a sleeping Grace in his arms. Janet had George lay her down and had been sitting next

to her ever since, catching up on some paperwork and waiting for more news.

"Janet."

Janet looked up and saw George.

"We just got a message from Sam." he said. "They're in the solar system. Can you bring Grace to the control room?"

Janet nodded and George left. Janet looked at Grace.

"Gracie." Janet said. "Grace, it's time to wake up."

Grace opened her eyes. "What's going on?"

Janet smiled. "Your mom and Daniel are in the solar system. Bumpa wants you in the control room."

Grace sat up quickly. "Well, what are we waiting for?"

"Cheyenne this is Digger 2." Sam's voice came through. "We have Colonel O'Neill and Teal'c. They're both alive."

Cheers broke out in the control room and Grace felt a huge smile take over her face as Davis told Sam to bring Jack and Teal'c home. Grace hugged Davis once he was done.

"You were right." Grace said.

Davis smiled and hugged Grace back.

Grace got out of the jeep that Davis had driven her, Janet and George to the airstrip in. They could see the ship carrying SG-1 and Jacob coming closer as it got ready to land. Grace held tightly to Janet's hand. Janet smiled.

"Gonna let your dad have it for saying this would be an easy test?" Janet asked.

Grace smiled. "Oh yeah."

The door to the ship opened and Grace was at the door before any of the others. Jacob came out first and quickly hugged Grace.

"Go easy on him Gracie." Jacob said. "He's a little loopy from the lack of oxygen."

Grace laughed. "What his reason for the rest of the time?"

Jacob laughed and sent Grace into the ship. She saw Sam and Daniel talking with Teal'c, whom Grace hugged before making her way into the back of the ship where Jack was.

"I thought it was going to be an easy test." Grace said.

Jack smiled at his daughter. "Nice to see you too Grace."

Grace smiled and ran at Jack, hugging him tightly. "I'm glad you're ok."

Jack picked Grace up and held her just as tightly. He smiled softly as he felt Grace bury her face in his shoulder. She'd been doing that since the day she was born.

"Me too Grace." Jack said. "Me too."
