Chapter ten
They all arrived at Jack's house, still laughing. Jack went in to his bedroom to gather a few things that he would need for the trip. Sam walked into the bedroom and closed the door behind her. Jack heard her walk in to the room and close the door.
"Hey, what are you up to?" Jack asked.
"Oh nothing, I thought I'd come in here and help you pack."
"Oh ok, what are the others doing?"
"Daniel and Teal'c are sitting on the couch still laughing and Dad is on the phone talking to Mark . I hope he will be able to get through to him."
"Yeah, me too, I still can't believe what you did Sam! I didn't know what you were up to at first and when we saw you picking something up from the tree two houses down, Jacob laughed and told us what it was and what happened when you crushed them. Is the smell that bad?"
"Yep, I use to do it at school when I was a teenager. There was this one guy who used to pick on me because I was smart. So one day he took his shoe off because there was a stone in it and just as he was putting his shoe on, I flicked one of the seeds in it, so he crushed as soon as he put his foot down. Well, we couldn't get near him for a week!"
Jack laughed thinking about Sam doing something like that. Sam walked over to him and wrapped her arms around his neck as he wrapped his arms around her waist, then he kissed her.
"I hope I don't get you mad and you do something like that to me," Jack said as he rested his fore head against hers.
"No, I wouldn't do that to you Jack, because then that would be teaching the boys bad habits."
"True, anyway I just finished packing everything up for our trip. Come on, we better get going. It looks like we are going to have a long night ahead of us and I have to go to the shops to get a few things before heading to the base."
"Ok, want a hand with anything?"
"Yeah, you can carry my suit out, it's in the wardrobe, and I'll carry the two bags."
Sam got Jack's suit out of the wardrobe and Jack carried his two bags. They both left the bed room and headed to the lounge where the others were. They all left together. Jacob, Daniel and Teal'c went back to the base, while Jack and Sam went to the supermarket.
They both got a trolley and started to put different foods in it for the next few days. They also bought shampoo, shower gel, and razor blades, deodorant, Tampons for both Janet and Sam and even soap to wash their clothes. Sam thought about washing powder but was thinking of the space plus Sam remembered her Grandmother use to use it when she was young and when the family went camping.
Once they got everything they needed and it was paid for, they put the stuff in the truck and headed to the mountain. When they arrived, Janet, Daniel, Teal'c, Charlie K and three airmen help unload the truck. A few minutes later, they put the stuff into containers. Once done there, Jack, Sam, Janet and Charlie K started to get their BDU gear together with their sleeping bags and tents, since the two planets they were going to were like summer both day and night.
Once that was sorted out, Sam got her battery for her laptop to charge overnight and other things she would need to help fix the time ship. Once done and everything else was packed up, she noticed a device that she had been working on last year. When it was next to her computer, if she was playing slots and she pressed the button, she would win every time, so she took into town with her one night and tried it out on the slot machines and roulette wheel in town. She only spent five dollars and she walked out with over twenty thousand dollars, so she hadn't used it since. She decided to take it with her to see what would happen when they were in Las Vegas.
Once that was packed away, she then closed everything down and turned the lights off before going to check on the boys who were in one of the VIP quarters. When she arrived there, Jack was there. He was changing George, and Sam stood there watching him with a smile on her face.
"Hey, need a hand there?" Sam said. Jack turned around as Sam walked over to him.
"Nope, all done. Now he needs a feed. Harry is due to wake up any time soon, so do you think you can handle him, or will you need my help?"
"I can handle him, you go and feed George here. I'll meet you in the mess hall."
"Ok, if you're sure?" He said as he picked George up with his blanket.
"Yeah, sounds like Harry's awake now, see you soon." Then she gave him a kiss before he left.
Ten minutes later, Sam walked into the mess hall with Harry in her arms. She was smiling at the young baby. One of the cooks walked over with the warm bottle for Harry. Sam sat down with him and she started feeding him, while talking to the others there.
Jacob told George, Janet, Sha're and the two Charlie's what Sam had done to Pete's car! They all laughed. Charlie O asked why Sam did it. Sam told them all how she had met Pete and how he had been bugging her ever since, so she got her revenge. Once the twins were fed and burped, they all got the young ones their dinner, then got their own.
George asked an airmen to get the two car seats from the VIP room. A few minutes later, he showed up with the twins' car seats so that Jack and Sam could put down the twins so they could eat. After dinner, they all put the kids to bed for the night before Daniel, Sha're, Janet, Charlie, Jack and Sam went out for couple of hours of shopping since it was late night shopping at the mall.
They all went together in Jack's minivan. When they arrived, they all went to different shops, including the baby shop, where Daniel bought some baby clothes for DJ and Jack and Sam did the same for the twins. There were two shops where there was a sale on, so Sha're, Janet and Charlie bought themselves some clothes there; Sam bought herself three bikinis for the trip away.
Once finishd there, it was getting late, so they all went to O'Malley's for a few drinks before heading back to the base. While there, Sam had a go at the slots, Janet was with her. Janet decided to have a go, not knowing that Sam had the device with her. So as soon as Janet put the dollar coin in and pressed the button, Sam also pressed the button on the device which was in her pocket at the same time. When it reels stop spinning, Janet won the jackpot, she was shocked that she had won ten thousand dollars.
Everyone else at the bar was also shocked. The owner showed up when the alarms went off at the machine. So she headed out the back with the guy. Sam went as well, just in case. The owner of the place paid Janet in cash. Then just as they were leaving, Janet passed almost all of it to Sam, so she could put it into the pockets of her jacket, since Janet didn't have a jacket with her, before returning to the others.
Janet bought their family a couple of drinks each before leaving the place. They were all happy when they left. Twenty minutes later they arrived at the mountain. They all headed towards the VIP quarters to check on the kids before heading to bed.
Sam gave Janet her money back before following Jack to their own quarters. Before they left, Janet paid them back because Jack and Sam loaned them some money earlier so they could get some clothes for themselves as well for Jack K. Jack walked Sam to her quarters, and kissed her goodnight, before heading to his quarters for the night.
The next morning they were up early so they could have an early breakfast and then get everything they needed to the gate room. It was just after eight when the gate started spinning and there was a whooshing sound. They all knew it was time to go, all five of them went through the gate with a F.R.E.D that had all their gears and equipment on it.
When they reached the other side, they started heading towards the ship.
Half an hour later they arrived. Sam started to work on the ship, while the others set up camp. Three days later, Sam got the ship to work. Once the camp was packed away and loaded onto the ship, they headed to the Stargate. When they got there, they dialled to PX2 495 and they managed to get through the gate.
When they arrived, they decided to travel back in time five thousand years, where there was no one on the planet at that time. They all set up camp, not to far from the hot springs. Janet and Sam started setting up the tents and getting everything else done, while the men started clearing a path to the hot springs.
Later that evening, they all went for a swim in a swimming hole that Sam made next to the river with some C4 and naquada that she had dug up from the cliff side. Luckily she warned the men before she blow a hole in the planet. They all took turns giving one another privacy.
Teal'c went first. He enjoyed the swim and he had his before dinner. Then, after dinner, Charlie and Janet went to have a swim. The weather was warm at night but hot during the day, so the swim would have been really good for them all.
Later that evening, Jack and Sam went for a swim. Sam wore one of the new bikinis that she had brought with her, it was black. Jack and Sam enjoyed themselves together. They both swam and splashed one another, as well hugging and kissing.
After spending some time in there, they decided to get out and get changed so they could head to the camp to get some sleep. Over the next two days the men cleared the path to the hot springs, while Sam and Janet took care of the campsite. They washed all of the clothes by hand, in the shade, on the third day there.
Then the men talked about the two different realities, while Janet and Sam did the same. At night time they all swam to cool down and to relax. When the men told Janet and Sam that they had finished clearing the path, they were all pleased it was done. Every second night they gave each other privacy; on the other nights they all had fun together.
They all worked together in the morning doing things like gathering wood for the fire and going to check out the land as well. In the afternoon, they all relaxed in the hot springs there. They all talked, laughing and joking. Janet and Charlie told Jack, Sam and Teal'c how their Jack and Sam got married and about the boys.
"Well, they both were infected by a virus. Everyone on the base were except for Daniel and me," Janet said.
"Who were the people from the light? The ones who were infected who were acting like cave men?" Sam asked.
"Yes, when SG1 and SG3 went though the first time, SG1 went through first. As soon as they got to the other side, they were attacked. By the time SG3 went through and fired their guns in the air, both Jack and Sam were missing, so the six of them went looking for them, but they only found few of the wild ones around a campfire. They seemed to be both male and female. They heard a woman scream, so they ran to where it was coming from. When they got there, they found three of the men unconscious but still no sight of Jack and Sam. They had started to head back to the gate when they came across the ones from the light, I found out what had happened when they got back six hours later. General Hammond wasn't happy that they didn't report back straight away, because he would have sent more teams through to look for them."
"So what happened? Did Hammond send anyone back?" Jack asked.
"Yes, five teams went through. While they were looking for both Jack and Sam, some of the personnel started to act like primitives. I had my hands full at that time. Within six hours of SG3's and the remainder of SG1S return, I had five men in the infirmary. All I could do was to put them into bunker holding cells. Two of them were from SG3. Twelve hours after they returned, the five teams came back with five of them acting like the others who were affected. General Hammond ordered the mountain closed till further notice. It took me five days to find out how come three men from other teams, Daniel and myself weren't affected. I did some checking, and I found out it was histamine which was the cause of everyone acting they way they did, so I gave all the nurses who were affected an injection first. Two hours later, they were back to normal, so between the four men, six nurses and myself, it took us ten hours to give everyone injections. The first one was General Hammond because I knew we needed some more antihistamine injections for everyone."
"Wow, the Janet we knew tested it on me first, when it worked she started injecting everyone on the base. She has been doing that ever since just in case it happens on another planet." Jack said.
"Did anything happen between you two at the time?" Charlie asked.
"Ah, well almost, but nothing happened," Jack said.
"What do you mean almost, come on!"
"Sam tried to seduce me in the men's locker room, but the virus took bit longer to affect me. Janet told me that the female primitive would tend to chose their sexual partner by who would give the stronger off spring."
"Well, that would normally happen with some women," Janet said.
"Yeah, well I remember what she did to me and afterwards, we had a chance to be alone to talk, to get things sorted out," Jack said.
"I remember, you said that you didn't remember a thing then you asked about my scar, and that if it didn't heal, I wouldn't be able to wear what was it, oh yeah, that sweet little tank top ever again." They all laughed.
"Well, you haven't since then."
"Well, someone took it. I don't know who or why. That is why I haven't worn it since. Anyway, I bought some more the other day, I might wear one tomorrow," Sam said, as she gave Jack a wink.
"Dr. Fraser, what happened to Captain Carter and O'Neill then?" Teal'c' asked.
"Well, once everyone was back to normal, General Hammond sent three teams through to find them and also give 'the touched', as they call them, injections. One week later, with the help from the people on the planet, they found them. They were in a cave, and they were both naked at the time having sexual intercourse. Luckily I was there. I had both tranquilliser guns. I went in first just in case, I went in slowly and quietly, as soon as I could see with the night vision goggles, I shot them both and waited for them to fall asleep. When they did, I called out to let the others know that I had found them and needed a blanket to cover them both up. We took them back to the SGC for them to recover, which they did. General Hammond didn't court martial them because of the virus that affected them. Two months later, Sam found out she was pregnant, so she was transferred off SG1, because we didn't know what gate travel would do to the baby. She told Jack that she was pregnant when SG1 got back from three day mission and they had a week down time. Jack wanted to do the right thing, so he asked his son if it was ok. Charlie though it would be great to have a mother again and for him to be happy, so they went to las Vegas and got married and spent the next five days up in his cabin for a short honey moon."
"What happened to the baby?" Sam asked.
" Two weeks later Jonas Hanson was transferred to the SGC. When Sam found out, she freaked out about it. When he bumped into her one day, he tried to ask her out. He said that he was a changed man, but Sam knew that he hadn't changed at all. She said no to him. He asked why not and she told him that she was happily married and pregnant with their first child. Well, as Sam would said, he showed his true colours!"
"Yep, it doesn't take much to tick him off," Sam said.
"Well, he got angry with her and started to beat her up and kick her, luckily some people heard her screaming and ran to her. Two airmen managed to drag him off her while another called me and told me what had happened. When I got there, she was bleeding and I knew there and then that she had lost the baby. She was unconscious, she did lose the baby and with the blows to the area, it had done a lot of damage. General Hammond ordered SG1 back. When they arrived at the gate room, Jack took one look at General Hammond and then to the others around him who were upset with what had happened and somehow he knew and he ran straight to the infirmary and went straight to Sam's side. He took one look at her and asked what happened. I told him that she lost the baby and that she would never be able to have any more children because of the amount of damage done to both ovaries from the kicks. Jack took it hard, he wanted to kill him; I told him that he should stay with Sam that she would need his love and support when she woke up. She did two days later and knew she lost the baby. Jack stayed with her and asked what happened. She told him what happened the day she lost the baby and about Jonas Hanson. He was court martialled and sent to prison for what he did. One of the prisoners found out the real truth about why he was in there, and spread the word. I found out that some of the prisoners in there knew Jack from his black ops days. When they found out that Jonas had killed his unborn child and beat up his wife, well, they beat him up. He spent more time in the hospital than in his cell. Six months later, he died from blows to the head from lots of punches from several guys for what he did!"
Sam had tears falling down her cheeks and Jack noticed it, he wrapped an arm around her for support.
"What happened to them?" Jack asked.
"Well, General Hammond put SG1 on down time. When Sam was released from the infirmary, Jack took her up to their cabin and they were there alone for two months. Charlie stayed with me at that time. When they both got back, they went back to work again. We all could see how hurt they both were from what had happened to them. About a year later, Daniel found the quantum mirror and went though it. When he got back, he warned all of us that Earth was in danger. SG1 and Sam went through the gate and saved Earth at that time. Anyway, after SG1 and Sam had destroyed the two ships and they had returned, they were court martialled by Kinsey for disobeying an order. They were supposed to shut down the program, but in the end, the charges were dismissed because of what they had done and they received medals for it. It was just after that we found out that George Hammond was murdered. He had testified that what they had done was heroic, risking their lives to save Earth on more than one occasion."
"Wow, that sounds like what almost happened to us," Jack said
"Yea, I'm sure it did. After that, Jack was promoted to Brigadier General and ended up being the CO of the SGC."
"General O'Neill, that has a ring to it!" Jack said. They all laughed, including Sam.
"Three months later we found out what happened to Jonas Hanson. Then, not long after that, Sam had a Goa'uld enter into her. We found out after an ash'rac tried to kill her, but Jolinar gave up it's life to save Sam. She told us that Jolinar wasn't a Goa'uld but a Tok'ra. She explained to us the difference between the two. Just before Jolinar died, she told Sam that she had given her a second chance for happiness. Sam didn't know what she meant till about year later when she found out that she was pregnant. Then she had a flash of one of Jolinar's memories and she remembered what Jolinar had said to her just before she died."
"Second chance of having a family," Sam said.
"Yes, seven months later Jon and Jacob were born. Sam's father Jacob died two months later, but he was happy that they named one of the twins after him."
Tears were falling down Sam cheeks thinking about how she would have lost her father if they hadn't met the Tok'ra after Sam had a dream about where they might be, if they were still there. Jack noticed the tears, he wiped them with his hands.
"Sam, are you ok?" Jack asked.
"Yea, just think what would have happened if my Dad had died because we didn't find the Tok'ra and they weren't asking for a host!"
"Well, we were lucky, after all we have been given a second chance, Sam!"
"Yes we all have, and we are going to help one another out, no matter what" Charlie said.
"What happened to Sara, my first wife?" Jack asked.
"She left Jack. The government and the Air Force wanted him to go on mission and she gave him a choice, the Air Force or their marriage. Jack spoke to Charlie, and he supported his father's decision, knowing that whatever he did would save lots of lives, so he went on the mission. A week after he came back from Abydos, she gave him the divorce papers, and he could see his son on weekends and holidays." Charlie said.
"What happened to her?"
"She remarried about a year later and had two more children, twins, a boy and a girl. Her new husband didn't like Charlie at all. So when they moved to Washington, Jack had to go there if he wanted to visit Charlie. When he did visit, Charlie told him that his step father use to beat him up, saying that he was useless like his old man. When Jack saw the bruises on his arms and the cut lips, he wasn't happy about it, so luckily he had a friend in Colorado springs who was on the police force. He spoke to him one day and told him about what his son had said and about the beatings, so he contacted a friend who was a detective in Washington. He did some investigating and found out the Charlie's stepfather's other two wives had left him because he was beating up the kids and sometime the wife also. Jack went to court and won his case. He got full custody of Charlie. At that time, Jack and Sam were married, and it was two months later when Sam found out that she was pregnant with the twins."
They talked for bit longer, before getting out of the hot springs. A week later they all noticed that they were getting younger. Jack and Sam went to take the ship for a run around the planet to check the place out and while they did that, they decided to go back in time about ten years. Sam had some seeds from the green and red apples, oranges, lemons, black, red and green grapes, apricots, plums and pears that they had with them. They knew that the ground was fertile and everything would grow big. They planted them not too far from the hot springs and they stayed there for a month.
Then they went forward ten years into the future but three months before they originally showed up. They planted all sorts of veggies, potatoes, pumpkin seeds, carrots, lettuces, beans, peas and other vegetables as well. They stayed there for two weeks. Luckily, they had fruit to eat from the seeds they planted ten years earlier.
Then they moved back to the same time as they left. When they landed where they had the ship before, Janet was shocked when she saw them. Jack had grown a beard and his hair was a bit longer than before and there was less grey in it. Sam's hair was bit longer than before as well. When Charlie and Teal'c showed up, Jack and Sam told them what they did, since they all decided to stay bit longer.
When Jack and Sam showed them where they planted all the fruit and vegetables, they were shocked. At least they could eat the fresh fruit and vegetables every day. They even told them that they had gone back to Earth and brought back two nannies and one Billy goat, plus the same with sheep. So they could stay on this planet, they worked it out that some people from Earth would be there in the next fifty years, so at least there would be fruit and meat for them all. Since the river was fresh water, they also got some female trout and salmon, so when the time came for them to lay their eggs, they would be on a new planet. Everyone was surprised with what they did even though they were away for only five minutes.
Both Jack and Sam had a hot shower to freshen up and Jack had a shave, then Sam gave him a hair cut. Once that was done, they all got dinner sorted out. They all did the same thing every day for a week, they went out to collect enough wood for the night fire and collect fruit and vegetables for lunch and dinner, plus they all went for walks around the place. They only went to the hot springs twice a week.
Sam found a good place to make a cave because they knew that the storms weren't too far away. Sam made some small naquada bombs with some C4. She put them in a spot against the cliff, then she got Teal'c to shoot the C4. When she first did it, the hole was bigger than the Stargate, so over the next two weeks the hole got deeper.
Then they made some steps on the side of the cliff, with Teal'c's staff weapon. When they found a good point, they made another cave about twenty meters above the first one.
Then a week later the storm arrived, they put the ship in the lower cave, and they all moved to the higher cave. Sam and Janet picked enough fruit and vegetables and stowed enough water for four days, while the men gathered enough firewood for four to five nights.
Once everything was packed away, they settled in the cave, just in time before the storm hit. All they could do was listen to the wind blowing outside of the cave and the rain falling down.
Five days later the storm passed them, and they all went to the cave entrance to check the damage of the area and also check on the Stargate. They found lots of trees had fallen down from the storm and there was some damage done to the fruit trees and to the veggie patch and there was no damage to the hot springs pool area.
They all had a look around and started to clean up the area and set up camp once again. Later that afternoon, they all had a swim and hot shower by using the hot spring water and portable shower unit they had with them. Later that night after dinner, they all want to bed early since it had been a long day for them.
Jack and Sam took the ship out of the cave and went for a ride. They went back in time for about three months, then went though the wormhole to earth, then to the future to 1995 for a try out. Luckily the ship was invisible, they landed it out side of a supermarket, Sam went in there to buy some more things that they needed, like shower gel, shampoo, toothpaste, coffee, Tampons for Janet and for herself. Deodorants as well, plus she got some packs of potato chips, dip, marshmallows, beer, soda and some meat as well.
Once paid for, she walked out of the shop and around into an alley way where the ship was. She looked around to make sure the coast was clear, then gave Jack the signal, the door opened and Sam quickly got in and Jack shut the door. Then they left to go to another shop, where Sam bought five sleeping bags, and three tents as well, plus two new hunting knifes and a sharpener as well. They went back to the ship once again. They went back in time like before, back through the Stargate, then forward in time to where they were before. They were away for an hour, to Janet, Charlie and Teal'c it was only two minutes.
When Jack and Sam showed up with bags full of stuff, the others couldn't believe what they had done, but they were pleased, because they all knew that they were getting low on things. They help put the new tents up and put the old ones away, same with the sleeping bags.
This time Sam brought enough supplies for three months. The chips, marshmallows, beer, and soda lasted for a week. The meat only lasted for one day. Jack and Charlie put the drinks in the small water pool in the cave that Teal'c had dug up, Sam and Janet used a bucket each to take the water from the river and put it into a newly dug hole. The water was cool and it kept the drinks cool for them all. Both Janet's and Sam's hair was longer than before.
They all looked almost ten years younger, but Jack decided to stay in the hot springs little bit longer so he looked almost fifteen years younger. Somehow the water from the hot springs, not only made them younger, but it made their hair grow twice as fast.
