Chapter 28 - "Our daughter "

CJ and Sam had spent the evening together alone. Jack left them talking and sorting their feelings. Sam explained to CJ that if the roles were reversed, she would be glad that another Mom would take care of her daughter. The girl seemed reassured by Sam's words. Then, she invited her to live in the house, but Sam laughed. However, she promised to ask Jack.

When Jack entered the room, to bring them food, they slept in each other's arms. He resigned himself to wake them up because they hadn't eaten much since the disease.

Shortly after, the quarantine was over at the SGC. Jacob said goodbye to his adopted daughter and his granddaughter. He and Teal'c left the next morning for the base, so the Tok'ra would find his peers. As Sam could get up again but she was still recovering, Jack left CJ under her care to return to work. These few days as househusband had tired him. He preferred to be on the field or even in his office, he was a man of action. His soldiers were all exhausted and had greeted the replacement with joy. Jack sent Fraiser home, but she insisted to go to Jack's, in order to check Sam and CJ's condition.

After catching all the delay, Jack decided to call the President. They took stock of the situation. Before hanging up, Jack asked him something.

"Sir, do we have lawyers ?"

"Of course, Jack ! I always have to check the laws concerning your base, even if its existence is secret. Why this question ?"

Jack summed up the situation between Sam and CJ.

"If I understand, you would like her to become your daughter's guardian if something happened to you ?"

"Yes, sort of. "

"Okay, I'll ask Mrs Jacqueline Anderson to contact you, she's in the secret, and she's the best."

"Thank you, Mister President."

Half an hour later, the phone rang in the General's office. He picked up and the woman introduced herself.

"I'm Mrs. Anderson. I've just read your classified record, General " Jacqueline explained.

"And what do you think ?"

"There's no problem. Colonel Carter received your wife's identity, which means that she has all rights on your daughter, as yourself, since she actually is your wife."

"I beg your pardon ?"

"We just reactivated her social security number and she went from dead to live. All came up with , the only thing that has changed is her rank. Technically, you're breaking the regs but since you're married and as you work in a top-secret facility , nobody will send you to court-martial. And the orders came from the White House, so... "

"I'm a dead man !"

"Excuse me, General ?"

"She'll kill me ! Carter will bump me off when I'll tell her that !"

The lawyer chuckled into the phone.

"Don't worry, General, she gets a husband and a daughter ..."

Jack cut her off.

"Obviously, you don't know her !"

"Anyway, I've just sent you my contact details by email, please ask me if you have other questions."

"Thank you Ma'am" Jack said before hanging up.

Jack decided to go to his last wishes to his best friend, in case Carter would kill him. Daniel worked on translations in his office, with Teal'c.

"Oh, hi Jack !" he said cheerfully.

Jack greeted quickly and Daniel felt his discomfort.

"What's the problem ?"

Jack took his courage in both hands and gave a summary of his family life.

"Do you really think she will be angry to find herself married to you ? "

"Daniel - How do you think she'll take being married to Jack's twin - the man she's in love with maybe for years - without having either memories or profit ? "

"Um - yes I know she felt bad cause of the distance between you two. "

Jack acted as if he didn't hear and continued.

"Guys, I don't mind that she takes care of my daughter , I 'm not worried. But consider a relationship with her ... It's ... "

"Too soon ? " Daniel suggested .

"Too weird ? " Teal'c said.

"A bit of everything !"

Boys marked a break before Daniel said . "You're in a mess, Jack"

"I'm surrounded by girls, right? "

"I do not think that Daniel Jackson was implied this, O'Neill" Teal'c said .

"I was talking about IQ, Jack, because even if your daughter wears your name, she remains a Carter ! "

Jack opened his eyes wide.

"Here I'm in a mess, they'll make me do whatever they want! "

"Yes and Sam will not have scruples that your wife might have had! "

"I have to wait for the daycare to be open before I'll talk to her about it. "

"Why?" Daniel asked .

"To prevent her from killing me in front of our daughter ! "

Daniel smiled stupidly.

"What?" Jack growled .

"You said "our" daughter ! "

"No, I don't !"

"Yes, you do! "

"No !"

"Yes !"

"Daniel ! "

"Jack ! "
