Alayna stands at the door." Alayna I'm going to be fine, see". I get out of bed and stand up. She smiles and runs to give me a big hug." Sam I think you should lay down. Yeah maybe your right. Hey is that John over there? Yeah he's been there since I woke up. Sam you probably want your dog tags back. No keep them Alayna, well ok then". Nicole looks at me then Alayna then back at me." Sam I think you should tell Alayna. What are you talking about Nicole? Sam I'm not Alayna's mother, and I know you know who the mother is. Wait who's my mom Sam? I...I am Alayna, I'm your mother. Wait I don't get it, Alayna I got pregnant at sixteen. So you didn't want me? No of course I did it's just my mom and me moved around a lot because of her job. I didn't want you to be all over the place plus I had no way of supporting for a baby. When you got leukemia I knew I failed as a mom. I went into the marines to get money for your treatment and I got you cancer free. Then I put you up for adoption praying a nice family would adopt you and take care of you. Randy and Nicole did just that. Uh Sam, yes Nurse what is it? A special agent Gibbs is here to see you. Oh you can send him in, you heard her sir. Samantha carter, Gibbs sir. I know this is a bad time Sam but we need to talk about your mother. NCIS would like to pay for the funeral and have it Washington. No I can't have you pay for it, Sam please let us do this for your mother. What kind of daughter does that make me when some one else had to pay for the funeral? It doesn't make you a bad daughter Sam. Please we insist Sam, ok fine I'll let NCIS pay for the funeral. Good now lets talk about your Purple Heart.
