A/N: The ending for our happy family has arrived. So enjoy!


8 months later...

I was in the infirmary with Jack and mine new baby girl. I held her gently as I looked at her. I was sitting in the bed under the sheets. She has Jack's brown eyes that I feel like I could stare into them forever, just like Jack's. Her hair was a dirty blonde. She grabbed my hair with her soft, pale hands. I laughed. "You're so cute!" I said in a cute voice. I noticed Jack looking between her and me. "What should we name her?" He moved his head closer to me to whisper his words. Once he finished, I laughed. "Of course, you wanted that as the name. We don't have the last part you know?"

"I know. We don't have to," He said.

"I don't want to. We'll keep it like that. Welcome to the world, Lisa Grace O'Neill." I smiled, and she laughed at me. I grabbed my hair from her hands, and push it to the side. "Jack? Can you..?" I asked as he grabbed Lisa from my arms. "Thanks Jack," I said.

"It isn't a problem. I know you are tired from all that," He explained. Jack rocked Lisa side to side gently, while holding her with one arm.

I yawned. "Just a bit."

"Have a rest then. I think I can take care of her." He leaned over me and kissed my forehead.

"Night," I mumbled as I heard Janet's heels click against the floor. Suddenly, I feel like there is two bodies on the left side of my bed, but it wasn't Jack's nor Janet's from the sounds of the breathing. I opened my eyes and see a male and a female wearing white suits. Jack turned around and sees them.

"Hello Samantha O'Neill," The male said.

"Who are you?" I asked.

"Someone that can destroy you if they wanted to," He answered.

"Who the hell are you?!" Jack asked madly.

"We are from the dying race called the Ancients," The female said calmly. "We are her to ask you a question."

"Don't tell me it's the one I think it is," I whispered.

"Our race knows that she is one of us. We wanted to know if she can meet our child at the age of four?" The female ancient asked.

"Who are these people?" Janet questioned.

"The ancients," Jack answered.

"The what?" The doctor repeated.

I answered the female ancient's question. "Why do you want your kid to meet my kid?" I interrogated.

"Because there isn't anymore new-born ancients beside these two so far," He answered.

"Can't you wait?" I hissed. She looked at the baby Jack was holding.

"She's beautiful," She said as she turned back to me. "We need to go soon. So you need the answer the question now."

"Why? Can't I have time to think?" I said.

The male responded. "We are sorry. We need an answer now." I rested my head against the pillow, and put my hands over my eyes.

Why do they have to ask questions like this now? Don't they know I'm tired? Or are they using that to their advantage? So let's look at the possibilities to each side. If I say yes, Lisa will only meet one friend, who isn't from her race. They said she was an ancient though. But they might not like each other, making them not stay with each other. But if they do, they may become lovers, and get married like the ancients want them to. If I say no, we could start a war I know we can't win, against the ancients. Which would kill all of Earth's population, including Lisa. Also their race will die out since they wouldn't have no one to have... Or they'll slave us to make more ancient children by using us, and that sounds really weird. I thought.

"Are we allowed to talk about this in private for a minute?" Jack said.

"Of course," The female told, and the duo left the room without a trace.

Janet said awkwardly. "I'll leave also then. I'll be outside if there is any problems." She left the room, and closed the door behind her.

"What are your thought of this?" Jack asked as he continued to rock the child in his arms, but this time, she is asleep.

"Well I was thinking yes because I really don't want to start Ancient War one with them. Plus it would be the last war in general, if we go against them," I explained.

"We may have to ask Lisa when she is older; but before four," He said.

"You're right about that, but I don't want to make a decision for her that will affect the rest of her life. That's not fair," I responded.

"I know."

"I wish it didn't happen at this time and place. I wish in general for it not to happen."

"I know that also. So are we actually going to say yes?"

"Well if we say yes, Lisa will meet the kid at the age of four. If they become friends, they will have to only meet in here or Lisa will have to go to their home world. We don't even know where that is. But the twist is that if they don't become friends, I don't know what will happen."

"It's a risk, but do we want to be the ones who started the final war?"

"Not really."

"So we have to say yes then."

"You can come in now." The ancients appeared in the room magically, while Janet walked through the door.

"So what has been your final decision?" She asked.

"We decided that we would say yes," I said.

"Thank you for the answer. Congratulations! Hope you enjoy your new baby," Told the male ancient. "Now we must go. Bye!" The ancients disappeared from the room.

"You said yes?" Janet questioned.

"We decided to because we didn't want to start the final war with them," I explained.

"I hope you both know what you are doing." Janet left the room.

Jack stated. "Well, you need some rest now. I'll hold Lisa for a bit."

I nodded. "Thanks Jack."

"For what?"

"Everything." I closed my eyes slowly.

"No problem." He kissed my forehead softly. His footsteps faded from my hearing, and I fell asleep; not sure if I regret my decision, or not.
