"Okay" Jack had returned with the game to find the beers and coffee had been distributed. His beer sat on the coffee table in front of his favourite chair which remained empty. Sam, Elizabeth and Torin all had coffee's.
Jack set up the board and grabbed the first card. "Alright" Jack looked around the room, choosing who to pick on first.
"Torin." Jack addressed "In which Australian state can you find the harbour bridge?"
"NSW, or New South Wales." Torin answered.
"Doh, you're right, okay your turn." Jack said. Torin smiled and picked up a card.
"Sam. What name is given to the matter surrounding and being pulled into a black hole?" Torin asked.
"The accretion disc." Sam answered. "Elizabeth. I am large, I burn with gas, I am small, I flicker like fire, but I can only be seen close, or in the dead of the night."
"Twinkle, twinkle little star." Elizabeth smiled "Pete. I like carrots and I sleep in a burrow. I am friends with Tazzy devil, daffy duck and Elma Fudd, but they hunt me in my season. Who am I?
"Um…" Pete looked unsure. "It's the rabbit isn't it, what's his name? um.. Peter Rabbit?"
"Bugs Bunny." Elizabeth smile kindly "But nice try. Cassie What is white and black and read all over?"
"A newspaper?" Cassie said. Elizabeth nodded. "Alright Rya'c, what is the name of the Disney princess who came to the ball in a pumpkin, and left without a shoe?"
"Oh come on that's not fair, Rya'c isn't from earth." Jack complained.
"It's Cinderella." Rya'c smiled. "I read the story to little Grace just last week"
"When she was having her Rya'c only day?" Elizabeth asked. "My sister has recently decided she's going to Marry Rya'c" when Rya'c nodded everyone laughed.
"I believe Grace has chosen well." Teal'c smiled.
"Yeah well my wife isn't too happy about it. She says if Grace keeps going she's not going to let her come over any more." Rya'c replied.
"You are married?" Teal'c asked.
Rya'c nodded before continuing the game. "Sam. In the television series 'The Simpsons' which character is famed for the expression 'Eat My Shorts!'"
"Damn. I know this." Sam thought for a while, soon Torin and the others began to count down from five. When they got to one Torin asked. "Okay anyone else?"
"Bart" said a small excited voice.
"Grace?" Elizabeth looked at the girl and her twin brother George standing before her.
"What are you doing here?"
"Mummy's habing de babi." George replied. "Daddy said come stay'if you."
Elizabeth sighed. "Alright come here." She took the twins and left the room.
"Who's their dad?" Pete asked.
"Why?" Torin asked.
"Well I know they're Sam's kids from the future, and that Jack is Elizabeth's dad." Pete trailed off looking at Sam. "I know I shouldn't make assumptions I mean for all I know this Ba'al grew Elizabeth or, or he Took Jack as a host and forced himself on Sam, but what about the twins, and the new baby."
"I cannot answer that question. I am sorry." Torin answered.
"I just wanna know if… Sam if you love him, I want you to be happy." Pete finished almost choking on the words.
…
Elizabeth put Grace and George into Jack's bed and returned to the living room to find an awkward silence was now filling the room as everyone looked from Sam to Pete.
"What's up?" Elizabeth asked. Torin looked at her. Elizabeth looked into his eyes as he opened his mind for her and read the situation. "Oh." Elizabeth thought quickly "Pete?" she stopped.
"Yes?" Pete addressed her.
"Look some futures are fixed, like me. Some aren't." Elizabeth told him "Anything that we can tell you can change at any time, and with it our knowledge and our world. You can't judge what will be, from what we are because as soon as we got here we became a part of this time, which changes what will or what might be. Do you understand?"
Pete nodded.
"Good" Elizabeth nodded "Now I need another coffee, and now that you guys are all half inebriated, how about that truth and dare game?" Everyone laughed.
