Rite of Passage
"So."
Cassie looked up at Jack, making her eyes as wide as they possibly could. She knew that that look had worked on him when she was twelve, and she was hoping that it still worked now.
"So…" she said, her voice having just the right amount of innocence to it as well.
Jack waved his hands. "This guy…"
Cassie winced internally, but made sure there was no change in her face. "What guy?" she asked, batting her eyelashes.
Behind them, Sam, and her mother laughed. Daniel looked at Teal'c with a confused look on his face, and Teal'c looked even more menacing than he had before. Cassie casted a pleading look his way, but his face remained just the same.
"Don't play dumb with me, Cassandra Frasier," Jack said.
"Oh, you got the full name," Janet said with a laugh. "Now you're in for it."
"Please, Mom," Cassie said. "You use my full name on a daily bases." She turned back to Jack and crossed her arms. "It doesn't faze me."
She and Jack stared each other down for a few moments. Finally, Jack spoke again.
"So. You kissed him."
Cassie, forgetting her innocent act, stared open-mouthed at him. "Who told you?" she demanded.
Before Jack could answer, Sam came forward and sat on the couch next to Jack. She smiled cheekily at Cassie and laughed.
"There were fireworks and everything," she informed him.
"A lamp exploding overhead hardly counts as fireworks," Cassie retorted. "And you promised you wouldn't say anything to them!"
"Oh, I didn't," Sam replied.
"Well, then, who did?" Cassie demanded.
Sam laughed again and glanced at Janet. Seeing this, Cassie whipped around and glared at her mother.
"Mom!" she exclaimed.
Janet held her hands up. "Hey. I never promised that. If I remember correctly, you only made Sam promise she would never say anything."
Cassie smirked. "Well, it wasn't as… uh… steamy as your first kiss with Jack." Sam blushed furiously. Jack cleared his throat. Cassie laughed. "No pun intended."
"When is he coming over?" Jack asked.
Cassie whipped back towards Jack. "How do you know he's coming over?"
Jack shrugged his shoulders. "Lucky guess." He and Sam exchanged a look that was unreadable to Cassie. "When is he coming?"
"Soon. Why? What are you going to do?"
"Well… Daniel and I are going to have a nice little talk with him, and Teal'c… well, Teal'c will just stand there and scare the crap out of him. Right, T?"
Teal'c inclined his head. "Indeed."
"What's his name?" Daniel asked.
"Daniel…" Cassie said, trying the same tactic that Jack normally tried on Daniel.
Daniel just returned with his usual response. "Cassie…"
Cassie sighed. "His name is Dominic."
As if on cue, there was a knock at the door. Through the window, they could all see Dominic waiting. He had his hands in his pockets, and he looked positively nervous. It seemed as if Cassie had given him a heads up.
The look on Cassie's face changed into a soft, loving smile. She walked to the window and wiggled her fingers at him. Almost immediately, his face changed from nervous to the same soft, loving smile that Cassie had.
Cassie turned around and looked at all of her family. She gave them a pleading look.
"Please don't scare him."
