The Party

It was noon and the birthday party was just getting started. Charlotte O'niell was running around her house playing tag with her cousins, Jonathon(JJ) and Alexa Jackson. Together they made up the most lethal combination of adolescents the world has ever seen. Their energy level and propensity to get in trouble were driving her insane, it's a good thing Vala's here to help, otherwise, she would surely lose her mind. Her husband had been called in earlier that morning and she had a bad feeling something was wrong. Little did she know however, the day she had been dreading all these years was finally here.

She was still trying to get Char and the twins to quit playing tag in the house when her door opened up. At first, it was a relief to see more adults but, that relief quickly gave way to the anger that had been festering in her. The first to come in was Tealc and his family. Kerry had always liked Tealc and Ishta. They were blunt and very honest in her opinion and she respected that. She liked it when Tealc and his family visited every year. They were the closest thing to Jack's relatives that she had ever seen. When their kids burst through the door the Jackson kids and Char came out of hiding to welcome their cousins and their parents.

The next person through the door was Daniel Jackson. The patriarch of the Jackson clan was handsome and he still possessed the boyish charm that made him the heart throb of the SGC. If she were still single, Daniel Jackson would be on the short list of men that she would make a play for. That scenario never happened though, she had won the battle for Jack and she was going to keep him. That's when the man in question entered the door with a beautiful little girl on his hip. Kerri let out a gasp. It was what she had feared most, the day when Sam Carter Shanahan came back to her future.

"Hi Everyone! Charlotte come over here. There is someone I want you to meet. " Jack says.

Charlotte comes up to him and says, "Hi daddy. Who's that?"

"Hi princess, I want you to meet someone special."

"Okay Daddy. "

As Jack begins to put Gracie down, Sam Carter walks through the door.

"Aunt Sam!!!!" little Charlotte squealed happily as she ran into her aunts arms.

Charlotte worshipped Sam Carter. Unlike her mother, Sam Carter was always there for her. She was there when her mom decided to go back to work full time in the NID. She was always there when both her mom and dad either worked or got into a fight. In fact, when people asked her what she wanted to be when she was older, she'd always respond, "I want to be a scientist like my aunt Sam." This was yet another reason Kerry silently despised the blonde haired woman standing in her living room.

"Hi Char. How's my little troublemaker." Sam says.

"Good Aunt Sam. . Did you get me a present?" A mischievous Char says out loud.

"Of course I did Char but I want you to meet someone first."

Charlotte nodded.

"Char I want you to meet my daughter. Gracie." Sam said

Charlotte walks up to Grace.

"Hi, I'm Gracie. Nice to meet you." she extends her hand

"Hi Gracie, I'm Charlotte but you can call me Char." She says shaking her sisters hand.

Everyone in the room smiles at the scene. Everyone that is except Kerry.

After a few moments Kerry breaks the moment.

"Alright everyone, Barbeque in the back first, than presents. Kids you have 15 minutes before lunch and I expect you to wash up before we start eating."

She then looks at everyone with a fake smile on her face and talks to Sam.

"Sam, can you help me in the kitchen please."

Sam gives an apprehensive look at Jack and says, "Sure."

Sam was not looking forward to this conversation.

Sorry it took so long but I'm having trouble finishing this story. Everytime, I try to write the ending Kerry becomes a little meaner than I intended. Sorry this was so short but I'll make up for it in the conversation.
