A/N Guy's I'm back with a new Chapter! Sorry you had to wait so long! Thanky you for your lovely comments - they always keep me pushing to write even more!So now...let's see what happens next :D

Sam could no longer suppress the rising tears in her eyes and stood up. Without saying anything, she disappeared in the little separate room where Janet had her office, and closed the door behind her.

"What's wrong with her? Three weeks without me, couldn't have been so bad...would not be the first time and where's Hammond? "

Daniel still looked shocked at Jack but this time he took a step towards him.

"Jack it was not three weeks it was ..."

"Uncle Daaaanyyy !"

Chapter 10 - Cake

Uncle Daaaannnyyy ! "

Daniel turned quickly. He really wasn't in the mood to smile, but when he saw the little girl on Sailer's arms, he couldn't resist. The Sergent, let the girl to the ground and she immediately ran into his arms. Daniel caught her and lifted her up just to giving her a soft kiss on the cheek. His gaze passed her, and he exhorted Jack to say a word. If the Child would hear a voice out of nowhere, it wouldn't be good at all. He hoped Jack had understood what he meant and quickly pointed at Katie.

"Hey sweety how are you?"

He asked her now as he walked away from the bed.

"Good, I want to eat cake."

Katie said with a giggle and Daniel forced himself to smile again. He was still way too shocked and couldn't really take care of the little girl right now. "I'm sure Silier can give you a piece of cake."

"Moomy!"

It came from Katie as she saw her mother coming back into the room. Daniel gently let her down and pushed his glasses back into order. Sam approached the two of them and looked at Jack's direction before she looked somehow frightened back to Daniel. He nodded at her, to tell her that it was all right.

"Hey darling, are you having fun with Siler?"She asked gently as she tried to sound as normal as possible.

"Mommy is everything okay? Why are you crying?"

Sam kneeled before her and force herself to smile before she wiped a tear of her face. "Mommy cries, because she is so happy that you accompanied her to work."

"Aaaalright...Can I have cake?" Sam had to laugh while she squeezed a kiss on her forhead.

"Of course you can have cake." She said as she looked at Sailer. "Could you possibly ..."

"Of course Colonel ... Com'on Katie we'll look for some Cake."

The Sergent held out his hand and Katie hopped into his direction. "See you later." It came from the little girl before she disappeared around the corner.

Sam sighed and then stood up again.

"Moommy?" It suddenly came questionably from the empty bed while Sam turned around in horror.

Jack's Journey Vol. 1.

The Goa'uld glider still smoked on the horizon. Damn! That was a close one! Colonel Jack O'Neill breathed a sigh of relief. His head still hurt from the - not too gentle landing, but it could have been worse. He had been able to land the Glider without causing further damage to himself. Only his shoulder hurt, but he was sure it was just a bruise, since she was still able to move it. He also had far bigger problems.

He was stranded on a unknown planet.

But let's start from the beginning.

The last thing Jack could remember when he'd been in the rear of the Jaffa a few days ago had been the sweet taste of blood in his mouth. He knew that he was hit by something, because his body had simply yielded and he'd fell to the ground with a dull blow.

Actually, the mission on Px34832 should have been a pure reckoning mission, but it had turned into a nightmare. When he'd walked through the dunes together with Daniel, Teal'c and SG11, they had soon discovered a huge Naquadah mine. This one, however, had not been abandoned as so toled by the Tokra. Of course, he had immediately ordered to go back to the Stargate, but it had already been too late when a Jaffa patrol had discovered them. Jack had had to act quickly. Either they ran back and would leave the many people who were working there, to death - or they would still try to save as many lives as possible. He had chosen the second option. He had ordered Daniel to go back to the Stargate, and then advanced with Teal'c and SG3 to the tunnels. They had tried to free as many people as possible. Unfortunately, they hadn't expected the Alkesh's to arrive so quickly.

They ran back to Stargate and Jack had a little girl in his arms. He'd seen Teal'c wait for him at the Stargate, trying to cover him as best as he could , but suddenly everything went white.

He felt a dull impact and then he could feel the warm sand under his face. Small grains that drifted their way through his face. The swirling dust came through his nose, and he felt his throat tighten. He could feel the heartbeat in his veins until he knew it wouldn't take long, until it would stop beating.

He hadn't hoped for another death. He would die as a soldier, he would die as a friend, he would die trying to save innocent people. He would soon be back with his son Charlie. It was an honorable death, and he hoped they would forgive him.

He hoped Sam would forgive him and with that last thought, he breath one more sigh of relief before letting go.

When he woke up, Jack thought he was somewhere in the orbit of the sun. A bright light forced him to close his eyes over and over. But eventually he made it after endless attempts.

Still everything looked blurred but at least he knew that he was not crashing against a big hot sun.

Was he alive? Or was this just an evil dream?

He could still remember the explosion, his last thought before he was drawn into eternal darkness. Panic slowly rose in him and he felt his body begin to tremble. That must be a good sign or not? He tried to breath in deeply and this time it worked. He could breathe again. Gently he tried to move but he couldn't. His thoughts were still wrapped in fog and he needed a moment to realize that he had to be on a kind of table. His arms and legs were tied, and even though Jack was trying to fight the thick strings, it seemed hopeless. Slowly he turned his head to the side and what he saw there, let his heart spin once more in his chest. He had to be in a kind of laboratory. Everywhere around him where devices and weird computers and then there where water tanks filled with dead animals?!

Jack stomach made a jump. He still didn't understand what was going on, he was supposed to be dead, was the hell was he doing here? A mental checkup over his body, left him with a frown on his face.

No pain.

Slowly, he pressed his chin toward his chest, to be able to look down at himself. There was no blood to be seen, there was only a tube that came out of his arm, and there was some blue fluid going into his vein. Panic suddenly rose in him. What the hell was that? A door suddenly opened and his heart started to beat faster in his chest. Okay he had a problem! From the corner of his eye, he could see a figure slowly approaching him.

"Good morning Colonel." It came in a usual Goa'uld tone and Jack immediately shut his eyes close. He knew this voice ... he knew it all too well.

"Nirrti."

He sighed annoyed and opened his eyes. He hadn't been wrong when he looked into the dark eyes of the woman who was now standing now over him. An evil smile, as always on her lips.

"As I see, you still know me." Then Goa'uld said as she gently stroked his arm. Jack tried to pull his hand away, but as he was tied, he failed miserably. He could only look at her with hatred, twisting his mouth.

"How could I forget... Did you rise back from the dead?" He asked with a pinch of sarcasm in his voice as he pursued every movement of the Goa'uld. He didn't know how it was possible that she was still alive. After all, she was killed on P3X-367 by Wodan, he had seen it with his own eyes when he broke her neck. She was supposed to be a death, but did he really wonder that she had survived? Somehow not, because just like Apophis, these damned snakeheads were unpredictable. Dying once just wasn't enough for them.

"You really thought that a simple neck break, could kill me. You humans are so naive. "There was a grin on the face of the Goa'uld.

"Apparently not." Jack said tightly, still looking at her. "I suppose I'm here because of you?"

Nirrti continued to grin and left him his side. She began to walk slowly around the table. "Correct Colonel, do you like it here? I think you should be grateful for me not letting you die out there. "

Jack raised his head to see the woman at the end of the table. "Oh, believe me, I'd rather be dead than to have another conversation with you."

The Goa'uld laughed and then again set up an evil grin. "It's a pity that you are here alone, I would have liked to see Jonas Quinn again, but I doubt that he still alive."

Jack shook his head. How he hated her! "Nope, Jonas is doing very well and oh ... your little DNA game hasn't worked."

He could see Nirrtis face darkening as she took some steps backwards. "Impossible, he must be dead."

"You have failed, quite simply, you're probably not as good as you thought!" Her face darkened furiously at his response. Jap, when one addressed the ego of a Goa'uld, they all went crazy.

Nirrtis eyes glowed up in white, before she went straight to a computer a like device next to the table.

"Then it's good that I've found you Colonel."

She said, grinning as she pressed in a few colored keys. Jack's stomach tightened. Whatever the snake's head in mind, Jack knew it would not be good. He let his head turn to the side and tried to see if there was a way out of here. The walls were made out of stone and the room didn't seem to be too big. If only he could reach his knife which was attached onto his leg. Unfortunately impossible until his arms were tied.

"Oh c'mon Nirrti... we played this game before. You will fail as you always do. "

He said sarcastically while trying to see what she was typing into her computer. "We'll see O'Neill. I have wonderful plans with you. "

She continued to say with an evil tone before she hit the last button and Jack's body started to tremble. Every inch of his Body started to burn before everything went dark.

When Jack woke up again that day, he was alone in the room. His head was booming and he had trouble arranging his thoughts. Only after a few seconds he figured out where he was and with whom he was. "These damned snake-heads!"

He cursed as he looked around the empty room. This time he was not tied to a table but was sitting in a kind of chair. He sat erect, but to his suffer still tied. "This time I'll strangle her with my bear hands!" he said as he tried to get away from the shackles. Unfortunately it didn't work much, except that the leather cut further into his wrists.

The door opened and Jack sighed. "There we go again."

"As I see, you are awake Colonel, very good."

Nirrti walked closer to him and stopped before him.

"Your team has not yet rushed to salvation. Maybe you're not so valuable after all. I would advise them, however to not come back through the starge. " Jack's expression darkened. So he was still on the planet where the mine was. He prayed that his team wouldn't look for him. He just couldn't be held responsible, if only for his sake, they ran into a trap.

"I suppose Major Carter is no longer among you?"

She said, grinning as she took a small remote from the table next to him.

As the word of Sam left her lips, Jack jerked inwardly. He knew she would try everything to come back. He hoped she wouldn't do so. She should think he was dead, it would be better then to see her get killed by Jaffa's as soon as she came through the gate. He hoped for Hammond and the military protocol. He had to put the planet on the red list and he knew the general would not allow anyone in the near future to come back here. He was on his own, but Hey - He was not death and that was a start.

"Major Carter is fine, as you see, your little experiment didn't work with her too.

Nirrti's eyes lit up again and she stopped near Jack. The small device firmly in her hands.

"This was just the beginning, thanks to Samantha Carter, I now can continue my experiments. Amazing what her body chemistry had revealed me... " She grinned, and Jack looked at her questioningly as she clicked the device. Nirrti remained serious and looked at Jack, before her lips changed to a big smile. "Interesting"

Jack raised an eyebrow and looked at the Goa'uld puzzled.

"What?" Jack asked annoyed, while he looked briefly at his body. It was all there where it belonged and he felt as good as before.

"Phase 1 completed." Niirti sayed satisfied before the earth began to tremble.
