Jack's POV
Well Sam has to work tonight…so it's just me and Cassie for dinner.
This should be interesting to say the least.
I know I said I wanted to talk with her, and I do…
I want to make sure she is doing okay, Sam and I haven't seen her for the past couple nights.
She is being the typical 16yr old, and all things considered she is going very well in school... Sam and I talked about it and didn't think a night or two at a friends' house would do her any harm.
So tonight I wanted to be just the two of us. I am going to order out a pizza and stop for chips on the way home.
Sam has us eating rabbit food more than half the time, and since she's not going to be home…you can see where I am going with this.
I can hear Cassie come through the door, I am really happy that she has moved in and as for Sam, that's a given. I have always wanted her here.
Pizza is on its way, and the table is set.
Here we go.
"Jack"
"Hey kiddo, how was school?"
We ate in silence after that, I think we were both really hungry. I am not good at this thing at all, I think I drove myself into a nervous wreck this afternoon.
I hate talking about feelings and emotions.. and all that…
"So, Jack, what did you want to talk to me about?" Cassie asks me.
"I just...um…wanted to know how you were doing, you haven't been here for a few days."
She laughs.
Nice Cassie, thanks.
"Jack, I am getting better, you know that."
Yup I guess I did.
"Have you spoken with Daniel lately?"
"I am worried about him. Maybe we should have a BBQ here this weekend, invite everyone."
"That sounds like a good idea, remind me to talk to Sam later."
"I asked Teal'c already, he said yes."
"Is there something going on that I don't know about Cassie?"
"No, just needed to have my extended family here this weekend."
"Well in that case how could I say no?"
That won me a smile.
"Is there anything I can do for you Cassie?"
"Jack, you are doing everything that I could ever need right now."
"Yeah."
"Listen, none of this is your fault. Like you told me before, mom was just doing her job."
"But…"
"No, buts, it is one of the things I love about mom, and that I will always carry around with me forever."
"I know…"
"I wish she was still here too, and I miss her so much…"
We sit in silence for a while longer.
"Jack, was there something else you wanted to talk about?"
"Yeah, Cassie…there is."
