Lacy here with the next chapter of Grace. The 200th episode. Be really cool if this was my 200th chapter as well but sadly no. So Jack requests that SG-1 help Martin out. He's toast, we all know it. Grace will be showing up where Jack does towards the end of the episode, so the main part of this will be Jack and Grace in D.C. and then they'll be venturing to the SGC to meet Jack's fate. Hehe, have fun.
And thank you massively to Katie for helping me! She knows what she did!
Disclaimer: If I owned it, we would have seen exactly what was on the other side of the gate at the end of the episode.

Jack sat on a bench in the park close the Pentagon. It was his lunch break and he was waiting for Grace. His now thirteen year old daughter had taken to running at lunch and then eating when they got back to the office. He had no idea what started it. She'd started doing it after a few weeks with her mother. When questioned, Sam said Grace just started doing it one day with Cam and Daniel. Jack glanced at his watch. She should be...
"She's coming now sir." Davis said, coming up to the back to the bench.
Jack looked where Davis was and saw Grace running towards them. "I'm not sure if Mitchell and Daniel getting her into this is good or bad."
"Well it's better then her sitting around the office all day." Davis said. "At her age, she needs to get out every once in a while."
Jack nodded. "Good point. Ok so no maiming two fifths of SG-1."
Davis laughed. "You may not maim them but your office got a call from General Landry."
Jack smirked. "Marty arrived."
Davis nodded. "He did. To say SG-1 is unhappy with you would be an understatement. I believe Teal'c was heard talking about some sort of Jaffa ritual."
"I told you not to send him in there unannounced Dad." Grace said, stopping at the bench, breathing heavily.
"You gonna make it there Gracie?" Jack asked.
Grace smiled. "I'll be fine Dad. Let's head back."
Jack stood up and Grace walked between him and Davis on the path that led back to the Pentagon.
"Good run?" Davis asked Grace.
Grace nodded. "Yeah, well other then this senator that decided to get in my way."
Jack ran a hand over his face. "Grace,"
"I played nice Dad!" Grace said. "He wanted me to deliver a message to you."
"What's the message?" Jack asked.
Grace shrugged. "I don't know. I told him to call your office and that he was ruining my run."
Davis raised a brow. "I thought you said you played nice."
Grace grinned. "That was nice."
Jack and Davis started laughing.

Grace packed her bag. "So, how do you plan to hold off SG-1?"
Jack leaned against the door frame of Grace's room. "Well,"
"You can't use me as a shield." Grace stopped him.
Jack cleared his throat. "I wasn't going to say that." Grace just looked at him. "I won't have to hold them off, they'll be too happy someone is there to stop Marty."
"You hope." Grace said.
Jack chuckled. "Yeah, I hope." he pushed off the door frame. "You ready to go?"
Grace grabbed her suit jacket, travel bag and messenger bag. "Yup, let's go."
"Alright, then SGC and certain death, here we come." Jack said, clapping his hands together.
Grace laughed. "You're the only one facing certain death Dad."

Jack looked over Grace's shoulder as they flew. She had her sketch book open and was making some light marks. Jack looked at the picture. It was the briefing room, during an SG-1 briefing and everyone was there.
"That's really great Gracie." Jack said.
Grace smiled as she darkened a line behind Cam's head. "Thanks, I drew this at the last briefing I was at. I'd already read over the reports so I was kinda bored."
Jack smiled. "I know that feeling. Did you show your mom?"
Grace nodded. "Yeah, she thought it was really good. Thinks I should become a professional artist."
"What do you think?" Jack asked. He and Sam had discussed many times whether they wanted Grace to follow their footsteps to the SGC.
Grace shrugged. "I'm not sure. I mean I love drawing but I've never really seen myself doing anything outside the SGC. I love it all too much. I mean I could always draw as a hobby and sell them."
"You could." Jack said. "I think that's a great idea."
Grace looked up at Jack. "Do you want me to work at the SGC?"
Jack sighed. "Oh Gracie, I want you to do what makes you happy. Do I want you around the danger the SGC brings? No but you grew up around it so there's really nothing I can do about it. If you want to continue to be apart of the SGC as you grow up then I'll support you."
Grace smiled. "Thanks Dad."
~'~'~'~'~'~'~'~'~
"I'm not going in first." Grace glared at her father.
Jack put on his whining face. "But Grace,"
Grace shook her head. "Don't think so Dad. It was your idea to rope SG-1 into this now you deal with it."
Jack sighed but stood up straight. "Fine, let's go."
Grace stepped aside and waved Jack forward. "After you."

Grace stood back beside Hank giggling as SG-1 glared at Jack. They'd gone through the gate where Cam was floored to see a party honoring his 200th trip through the gate. Shortly after, SG-1 had taken advantage of the freedom to come down on Jack.
"Your father," Hank said.
Grace nodded. "I know. He gets bored easily and figures given how far away SG-1 is, he can mess with them."
"Did he forget about that nice thing called a plane?" Hank asked.
"I think so." Grace laughed as Teal'c took a step towards Jack and Jack stepped backwards. "Should we save him?"
Hank shook his head. "Nah, he brought this on himself." he looked down at Grace. "Cake?"
Grace beamed. "You know it."
Hank and Grace turned towards the food table, leaving Jack alone with his not so happy friends. He was in for a LONG night.

Jack's toast. You notice I like leaving him to deal with angry SG-1 members? Well he asks for it. So let me know what you think, flame policy stands and thanks for reading. Next up is The Return part 1 and 2. Yes those are Atlantis episodes they line up with The Quest part 1 and 2 for SG-1 so while SG-1 is off doing their thing, Grace is going with John and his team to get Jack and Woolsey back from the replicators.
