AN: Hi ya all. Here is the next chapter, sorry for not posting yesterday. I recived some bad news... My brother dog Rossi died during the night. He took Rossi to the vets the day before when she wasn't getting up like she was tired and wasn't eating or drinking. The vets were puzzled since the day before she was fine. My brother called the vets yesterday morning to let them know that she died. So hopefully the blood samples that the vets took will able to find out the cause of healthy eight year old dog to died under twenty four hours just incase another dog end up with the same symptoms. It was just last month when Kitty my cat was killed and now with my brother dog died after a short illness. It a lot to take in, in a short period of time for my family
Chapter 09
Over the next two days, Jack and Sam kept busy. Jack decided to send a message to Thor but was unsure how long he would have to wait for a response. On Friday afternoon, Jack pulled up outside his old home in Denver. He got out and walked up to the front door just as it opened.
"Dad."
"Hey, Sport. Ready to go?" Jack asked smiling.
"Yep." Charlie lifted his bag, walked out, closed the door and locked it.
"Where's your mom?"
"Working late again."
"How late?" They both stopped and Charlie looked at him.
"She gets home about eight, nine o'clock at night."
"Why is that and is she always leaving you alone?"
"Dad, I'm almost fifteen years old." Jack put his hands on Charlie shoulders.
"I know, I just worry about you."
"I know." They hugged for a minute then pulled apart.
"Come on. We have a lot to talk about." They reached Jack's truck and got in, then they were on their way to Colorado Springs.
"Is everything ok at work?"
"Yes but there is something you should know about… I only found out on Monday… I'm sorry about last weekend, it was important."
"Why? What happened?"
"Three System Lords wanted a chit chat. Thor was there."
"The Asgard, Thor?"
"Yep, well anyway, one of the Goa'uld tried to kill another and tried to frame Teal'c. After that happened, we sent a message to the Tok'ra about what the three were up to. We found out that one of them had been experimenting… again."
"Nirrti?"
"Yep. Well I put on my poker face and called her bluff in front of the other Goa'uld. She showed her true colors. While I was doing that, Sam healed the wounded System Lord and Teal'c. We got what we wanted and the System Lords well I don't know what they are going to do with Nirrti, but I don't care."
"Good. What about Thor?"
"We are under the Asgard protected planet treaty so if any Goa'uld tries to attack Earth, the Asgard will attack them."
"Cool."
"So that is why I couldn't make it last weekend."
"I understand, Dad. You were trying to protect Earth."
"Yep."
"So what happened on Monday?"
"I found out that an Asgard scientist has been experimenting and I was half of the experiment."
"Half, who was the other person or persons?"
"Sam."
"What happened?"
"For the past eighteen years, without Sam's and my knowledge, the Asgard, Loki, has been getting Sam pregnant with my sperm."
"What?" Charlie was shocked.
"But wouldn't Sam have known she was pregnant?"
"Nope." Jack told Charlie what Thor had told him. By the time they reached Jack's home, he had finished the story. After he turned off the truck motor, he turned to look at his son.
"Dad, how many children are there?"
"Ninety-seven… and Sam's carrying twins right now."
"Oh wow, how old are they?"
"The oldest is eighteen."
"Wow… Loki sure has been busy." Jack smiled.
"Funny. Come on, let's get inside." Charlie got his back pack and followed Jack into the house.
He walked down to his room to put his bag on the bed then returned into the living room. After he stopped in the kitchen to get a soda, he sat down next to Jack where they talked for the next two hours about what had been happening. When they heard a car pull up outside, Jack went to see who it was.
"Who is it, Dad?"
"Sam." He opened the door and smiled.
"Hey, is everything Ok?"
"Yes. Have you told Charlie?"
"Yep. Mmm, pizza!"
"Of course." Sam walked in and into the living room with two boxes of pizza.
"Hi Charlie."
"Hi Sam." She put the pizza down before she sat, while Jack went and got more drinks.
"How's school?"
"Ok… Sam can you help me with my science homework?"
"Sure. So, what do you think about what happened?"
"Well, I told Dad, years ago, I wouldn't mind a brother or sister… now I got 97 of them," he said smiling.
"So you're not upset then?"
"No. I think it's cool, but this Loki took all the fun out of it." Sam laughed just as Jack returned.
"That's what your dad said… thanks," when Jack passed Sam a diet soda.
"I know that they might be showing up tomorrow night, but what if they don't?"
Jack sat down on the other side of the coffee table looking at his son and the woman he loved talking like mother and son.
"Well then there will be plenty of food for the next few days."
They talked while enjoying eating pizza. When they finished, Jack looked at Sam when he stood.
"I'll take care of the boxes Sam while you give Charlie your good news." He gathered up the empty boxes and beverage containers.
"What news?"
"You know when I started the speech when Thor beamed me away."
"Oh that news." He walked out into the kitchen.
"What news Sam?"
"I've been promoted." His eyes widened then he gave her tight hug.
"It's about time Dad promoted you." Sam laughed, and then he pulled back.
"Well, it was up to the Chief of Staff."
"I know… lieutenant colonel… you know Dad didn't reach that until he was thirty five." Sam laughed.
"I heard that," Jack said when he walked into the room.
"Well it true, Dad," he said smiling.
"Gee thanks!" He sat down again.
"I spoke to your friend, Alex, this afternoon."
"Oh, so what did he have to say?"
"He'd done up a rough plan of the house. He said I could drop by Monday morning. I told him that I would have to talk to you."
"Go for it, take the morning off."
"All I need…"
"Ah," He put his hand up.
"Sam, you need to find land for the house."
"Ok… Sir," she said smiling.
"What have I told you about that?" She started giggling.
"Hey, no giggling in my house!" They talked for the next two hours before Sam left to go home for the night.
The next morning, Jack and Charlie drove to Sam's place to take her to breakfast. They went to McDonalds and then drove to the baseball park where Charlie's team was scheduled to play. When they got there, Charlie ran over to his coach and team while Jack and Sam found seats in the stands with some of the other parents.
"Sam, after the game, want to help me with the shopping?"
"Sure," she said smiling.
"Good, because I need all the help I can get."
"What about the others?"
"You remember what happened last year when they helped?" Sam laughed.
"I remember, you had enough food for two months."
"Don't remind me."
"Don't worry, I'll help."
"Thanks, I can always trust you." He held onto her hand.
"Yes, you can." They turned when they heard two vans pull up. It was the Colorado Springs team arriving, just as Teal'c, Daniel, Cassie and Lou Ferretti showed up.
"Hi guys, sorry we were late."
"Well you weren't the only ones." Cassie walked over and gave them a hug then she sat down next to Sam.
"How's school, Cassie?"
"Good. Daniel told me about last weekend, I'm glad I wasn't on the base. And congratulations on your promotion, Mom told me. It's about time."
"Jack, Sam." They turned to Daniel who was looking over at the parking lot.
