Sam shook her head slightly, unable to take her eyes from future-Daniel.
Future-Sam and future-Daniel joined them and looked awkward for a few moments, before noticing Michael behind them, who had been watching the proceedings with a mixture of confusion, interest and surprise. They exclaimed with a smile,
"Michael Johnson!"
They both hugged him, much to everyone else's, especially his, surprise and bemusement. They then turned to their younger selves, and future-Sam said with a grin,
"Boy, Sam, did you bet on the right horse! I can't tell you everything, but he does save your skins."
Future-Daniel affectionately ruffled Michael's hair, before Daniel asked him,
"So… um, what's with the hair?"
Future-Daniel self-consciously ran his fingers through his hair before replying,
"Um, all that long hair got a bit annoying on missions."
"How's Sha're?"
Future-Daniel's gaze fell for a brief moment, before replying,
"She's fine… she's resting."
Cam quickly changed the subject by saying,
"Well, we can't stay long, especially with Jackson and Sam's child selves being here too. That's one hell of a paradox."
Daniel asked as he looked around at the personnel, "Is Jack dead?"
Future-Sam and future-Daniel exchanged a brief glance before the latter replied,
"No… no, far from it. Well, ok, it depends on your perspective… he thinks of himself as dead but that's just Jack being Jack… He got promoted – can't tell you when though."
Sam exclaimed to her future counterpart, "You're a Colonel then?"
Future-Sam replied with sympathetic smile, "Sam, I can't tell you anything about that. Anyway, we've got to make a move before something bad happens."
Before Sam could reply, she suddenly felt a very sharp pain in her stomach, which made her gasp in surprise. Daniel and Cam grabbed her in an attempt to steady her, and Daniel looked up in time to see future-Sam and future-Daniel exchange a concerned glance.
Future-Sam said quickly, "Guys, we have to go now otherwise it's only going to get worse."
She quickly hugged her younger self, before whispering to Daniel as she hugged him,
"I miss your innocent, long-haired days."
Future-Daniel said to Sam and Daniel, "The adventure's only just beginning for you two… for all of you… us. You're going to have a lot of fun, eventually."
Teal'c added with a slight smile, "Indeed."
The team then said their farewells to Sam, Daniel and Michael before making a quick exit. Michael remarked,
"Wow, Simon, you certainly look different with less hair… why did that man call you Jackson?"
