The Big Surpise
Alex's POV
Knowing it was Caitlyn's birthday today meant that we all had to pretend we didn't know what was going on. This may sound mean but John wanted to surprise her. Now when John asked me to help him plan the party I didn't expect to do it all by myself. But putting all of that aside, getting it all done by the end of the day would be a task and a half.
I know that Caitlyn misses her uncle Jack. Getting him here for the party would mean the world to her. Before I had time to think about all of this it was almost time for putting up the decorations and getting Jack back through the gate.
Caitlyn's POV
Today is a special day for me. It's my birthday. The annoying thing about is that all my friends have seemed to have forgotten about it. Or they are planning a surprise. The only person that I'm really missing at the moment is my uncle Jack. That would make my day if Alex could get him out of his trip to Washington.
Thinking about all of this makes realise how quiet the city is today. I know the missions have picked up again and there's hardly anyone here but it is never this quiet when missions are going on. Even McKay and Zelenka are being quiet (this is very unusual). Without trying to find out what on earth is going on I try and go find Alex and see what she is up to.
Ronan's POV
It's soo unfair that I can't tell Caitlyn what is going on. I really want to tell but I'm the only one (apart from Alex) that knows about her present. She will love Alex forever when she gets it.
I've been given the most boring job ever. I have to keep watch and if Caitlyn goes near John, Alex or Evan I have to radio them. Sounds really boring but John and Alex want this to be special for her.
I've never seen John so happy around Caitlyn. I mean it's not like John to be like this. But he does know how to make a person happy and he's making Caitlyn happy so I guess that's good.
Alex's POV (again)
I'm getting soo stressed now. Everything is planned but it's all soo blommin' stressful. Making sure everything is in the correct places and correct quantity gets complicated when you put in how many people there are on the list John gave me. It's ridiculous. "John is everything your end ok and sorted?" he replied with "Yes major it is all sorted." After listening to the response I realise what the time is. "Oh crap, General O'niell is due soon and Caitlyn is in the gate room. what do I do?" With Evan next to me he listened and said "Don't worry I'll get Teyla to teach her some fighting stuff. I'm sure Teyla won't mind." I replied with "What would I do without you?" he then had a massive smile on his face and I could guess what he would see.

Oh my god Jack is here. Caitlyn is just round the corner! HELP.
John's POV
I'm soo excited for Caitlyn. Alex has done and amazing job with the planning. I don't know how she does it all. I know she's only allowed on missions every other day but she still managed to find time to do this along side her reports. She gets them done before everybody else. It amazes me how she completes them so quickly.
"Hey Caitlyn if you come with me I have something to you show you."
Caitlyn's POV (again)
"Come with me and I'll show you." John says. This mean that they've been planning something. I knew it. They've been planning something. I'm soo excited to find out what they've been doing all day.
"John why is there a man in Air Force uniform standing next to Alex?" trying to work out who it is he turned and went "Its your uncle jack Caitlyn. who else would it be?" as he said that I ran to him and went "JACK oh my god you're here. Alex manage to get you here." as I was saying that he laughed and went "Why don't we celebrate your birthday and enjoy this party."
