Lacy here with Ascension. I'm going to do this one almost the same as it was in the show but instead of Orlin coming to Sam I'm going to have him come to Grace. I know that sounds weird since he came to Sam as an adult but for Grace he'll be younger like he was when he reappeared in season nine. Have fun.
Disclaimer: I own my computer, way too many books and an antique wine glass. I do not own the show.

Sam stood in the kitchen and drank her coffee. She looked at the clock and sighed.
"Grace! Can you go get the paper from the walk?" Sam called through the house. "I have to go wake your father. Again."
Grace giggled as she came down the stairs. "Cold water Mom."
"I heard that Grace!" Jack called from upstairs.
Grace smiled and made her way outside to get the paper. She hopped from the top porch step to the walkway and skipped to the paper. She got to the end of the walk and picked up the paper. As she got ready to go back inside she noticed a boy across the street. He had light brown hair and was staring at Grace.
"Hello." he said.
Grace gave a shy smile. "Hi." without another word she walked quickly back to the house. Before she went in, she looked back over she shoulder again and noticed the boy had vanished. Shaking her head she went inside.

Grace sighed as her mother basically pushed her into the house.
"I'm fine Mom." she said.
Sam gave Grace a look. "Grace you're seven years old and were just electrocuted. You're staying home. I have to go back to the base but your father will be by to check on you in a few hours. Try and get some rest. Mrs. Craines is right next door if you need anything."
Grace wasn't happy but gave Sam a hug and kiss and went to her room to rest.
(A/N: I know leaving a seven year old home alone is stupid but my mom used to do it with me and I'm perfectly normal. *hears cricket sounds and clears throat* Never mind. Remember her neighbor is right next door so she'll be ok.)
Grace laid on her bed and stared at the ceiling for about five minutes. Sadly being her father's daughter, unless she was sleeping, staying still was not something she was good at. She got up and wandered into the living room as the doorbell went off.
"Mrs. Craines." Grace greeted as she opened the door.
Mrs. Craines was an elderly lady that lived next to the O'Neill's and babysat Grace when it was needed. She really hadn't sat Grace since Grace started home schooling but was still there when needed.
"Hello Grace. Your mother stopped by and said that you had an accident on base and were staying home for the rest of the day." Mrs. Craines said.
Grace nodded. "Got a little too close to one of Mom's toys. I'll be fine though. Thank you for checking on me."
Mrs. Craines smiled. "You're welcome Grace. I'll be back around lunch with some food if you'd like."
Grace smiled. "I'd like that. I'll see you at lunch."
Grace closed the door and went back to the living room. She stopped short when she saw the boy from that morning standing in the middle of the room.
"Hello." he said.
Grace frowned. "How did you get in here? And who are you?"
The boy stepped towards Grace and she took a step backwards.
"Do not be afraid." he said. "My name is Orlin."
Grace gave a tight smile. "That's great. Now how about an answer to my second question? How did you get in our house?"
Orlin took another step forward. "I followed your parents home from their last mission."
Grace frowned. "How? They should have seen you come through the gate."
Orlin shook his head. "I am not like others."
Grace crossed her arms. At seven years old she had seen many things going to work with her parents. And she knew when to be very suspicious. She wasn't like other kids her age. Her ability to be more mature was one thing she was always proud of. Most of the time, people didn't believe that she was so young.
"Ok let's say for a second that I believe you." Grace said. "If you're not like others then what are you?"
"To put it simply," Orlin said. "I'm an ancient."
Grace's arms fell to her sides. "Didn't see that coming."

Grace sat on the swing on the back porch a few mornings later as Jack and Sam got ready for work.
"Are you sure you want to stay here Grace?" Sam asked.
Grace nodded. "Yeah I don't know if it's what happened the other day or if I'm getting sick but I'm not feeling good."
Sam frowned and put her hand on Grace's forehead. "Well you don't have a fever but if you're sure, you can stay. I'll let Mrs. Craines know before your dad and I leave."
Grace smiled. "Okay. Thank you."
Sam placed a kiss on Grace's head. "You're welcome." she walked back inside and joined Jack in the kitchen.
"She ok?" Jack asked.
Sam looked at their daughter one more time over her shoulder. "I think so." she looked at Jack. "I think she might just need a break from everything on base but doesn't know how to ask."
Jack nodded. "That's understandable. Let's bring Daniel and Teal'c over tonight, see if that helps."
Sam smiled. "And you're always claiming you don't know what to do."
Jack smirked. "Yeah yeah just don't let it get around."

Jack frowned and Colonel Frank Simmons. "I'm sorry, you think my daughter is hiding an alien in our house?"
Simmons nodded. "I don't believe I stuttered Colonel."
Sam shook her head. "With all do respect sir, I think we'd know if Grace was hiding something."
Simmons raised an brow. "Are you sure Major?"
Jack crossed his arms. "Grace knows she can tell us anything."
"Then I suppose you wouldn't mind surveillance being placed in your house to make sure that you know your daughter as well as you think you do." Simmons said.
Both Sam and Jack shook their heads before the words were even all the way out of Simmons' mouth.
"Jack, Sam you know I love Grace too." George said. "But this may to the only way to prove Simmons wrong."
Jack clenched his fists and Sam placed her hand on his arm.
"Sir, let us go home and talk with Grace." Sam said. "Let's see what she says."
George nodded and dismissed Sam and Jack.
"General..." Simmons started.
George turned on Simmons. "Colonel, there is something you need to learn. While Colonel O'Neill and Major Carter work to save this world on a daily basis, their first priority will always be their daughter. The same can be said for myself, the rest of SG-1 and most of the people on this base. Now you will follow the airman outside to the VIP quarters and wait for the Colonel and Major to return."

Grace crossed her arms as Sam and Jack stood in front of her.
"I am hiding someone." Grace admitted.
Sam and Jack were shocked.
"Why didn't you tell us Gracie?" Sam asked.
Grace shrugged. "I didn't know how. And I was confused."
Jack nodded. "It's alright Grace. Where is he?"
Grace nodded her head at the basement door and led Sam and Jack downstairs. They were floored to see a Stargate. Orlin looked at them. He didn't looked surprised to see Sam and Jack.
"It's working Grace." he said.
Grace smiled. "That's great Orlin."
Before Sam and Jack could react, the four heard the front door get kicked down. Jack made his way upstairs while Sam turned to Grace.
"Stay down here and don't make a sound." Sam said before following Jack.
Grace turned to Orlin. "What do we do now?"
Orlin reached for Grace's hand as the gate started dialing. "We must leave."
Grace frowned. "But where are we going?"
"The planet I followed your parents from." Orlin said.
Grace bit her lip and looked up the stairs before taking Orlin's hand. "Let's go."

Grace sat in the briefing room, curled in one of the chairs, staring at the gate. SG-1 and George stood in his office watching her.
"Is she going to be ok?" Daniel asked.
"Orlin became her friend." Sam said. "She's upset about loosing him."
George sighed sadly as he watched his granddaughter. "Sam, Jack I have Tessa and Keyla this weekend, why don't I take Grace and see if spending some time with them helps."
Sam looked at Jack.
"I think it would be a good idea." Jack said. "Have her around kids close to her age."
Sam nodded. "Alright sir. She's got clothes in our quarters here so if you don't mind, she can go with you tonight."
George smiled. "I never mind having Grace around. SG-1 has the weekend. I want you all off this base in an hour. Grace and I will leave as soon as I get things settled with Walter."
SG-1 nodded and headed to the briefing room to say goodbye to Grace. Daniel and Teal'c gave her quick hugs before leaving her with Sam and Jack.
"You're going to spend the weekend with Bumpa and Tessa and Keyla." Sam said. "Would you like that?"
Grace shrugged. Sam looked at Jack.
"Grace," Jack said. "I know it hurts now loosing Orlin but it'll get better."
Grace looked at her father. "If it's ok, I don't want to talk about it right now."
Jack nodded. "That's fine Gracie. But remember Mom and I are here when you want to talk."
Grace gave a small smile and nodded. Sam and Jack hugged her and left. George stepped out of his office and walked over to Grace.
"Are you ready to leave?" George asked.
Grace nodded and stood up. "Yeah let's go."
