They all watched Joilnar show Joanne some defence moves while having fun at the same time, they all smiled at what was going on in front of them. Sam grabbed hold of Jack's hand and gave it a squeeze, which he did in return while still looking at the two girl's training and having fun. Then Joanne stopped when she saw them watching them.
"Ah Joilnar" she turned to see them watching.
"Hi dad, I guess you want to know what's going on."
"I can see what's going on here, not bad Joanne for the first time"
"Thank you"
"Hey dad, they need a new swinging log, Joanne blew one of them to pieces"
"What?" Jack said in shock
"Sorry, it was my first time of using this power"
"That's ok Joanne, the first time munch kin tried it she knocked over the out house, lucky there was no one in it when it happened" Jack said, as they all laughed, including Joanne
"So what happened to the out house?"
"It was moved somewhere else, where it was safer for all concerned!"
"Ok, so what happens now?"
"We all head back to the SGC in time for some lunch" Jack said
"Ok, I am bit hungry" Joanne said. They all walk back to the cargo ship, then back to the gate, and then home again. After there normal per ops, and showers, they headed to the mess hall for their lunch, once they got it, and sat down at the table, they talked, while they are eating.
"Mrs Peterson, what is going to happen with Joanne's schooling?"
"Well there are some good schools in Denver"
"Why can't you move here?"
"Munch kin!" Jack said looking at her.
"What I'm saying is, that she's got friends here and Bra'tac is willing to teach her the jaffa self defence and now you have friends here also"
"Well I don't know" Mrs Peterson said then she looked at Joanne
"Joanne what do you think?"
"Well Joilnar is right about one thing, I have made some new friends here and I'm willing to learn self defence and how to use my new powers probably with out blowing things up. and I know that you all are willing to teach me all of these things, so I would like to stay here in Colorado Springs"
"Well it looks like we are moving, we will have to find a nice home for all of us" Mr Peterson said.
"I know of a house that is up for sale not far from were we live"
"Which one?" Sam asked
"The blue two story house"
"Oh that one, it is a nice home"
"Well why don't we look at it later on?" Mrs Peterson said.
After lunch, Sam and Jack went to check on the young ones, while Joilnar showed the Peterson's the SGC, before they left to check out the house. Joanne stayed on the base till General Hammond got the paper work sorted out for them, so that they could take Joanne home with them.
The next day Joilnar went back to school, her friends missed her and asked how Joanne was, and wondering when she was going to be back at school. She took homework to Joanne since she was staying on the base and so that she wouldn't fall behind in classes. Teal'c was training Joanne for an hour in the mornings and Daniel was teaching her Latin and showing her different writings, telling her what they are, so she could understand them.
The Petersons did love the house and decided to sell their house in Denver and moved to Colorado Springs. It was three days after Joanne met her grandparents and also go the same powers as Joilnar and the boys; that it was finalised that Joanne is in her grandparents care.
Two weeks later the Petersons moved to Colorado Springs and Joanne moved in with them. She also went back to school at that same time. Her foster parents were arrested and changed for child abuse and neglect; their boys were taken off them and put in to foster homes, where the parents are strict with discipline. The parents got ten years for what they did to Joanne. The social worker Jane Doyle lost her job and was also charged with not reporting the abuse of Joanne to her bosses.
Joanne and Joilnar Joined the girl's brigade, with their girl friends, and the boys joined the Boys Brigade. On weekends Both the O'Neill's and the Peterson's go to the alpha site, so that the kids could do there training together, as well as with the other children there. Joanne's bruises have disappeared and she has put weight back on.
She also learnt to control her power in no time. They all spend all the holidays together, including their birthdays. Joanne was able to put the last few months behind her and look to the future with her family and friends. When it was her parent's birthday, she'd go and visit their grave sites, taking a single red rose and putting it on the ground in front of their head stones.
When the joint chief of staff found out about Joanne and that she was John Peterson's daughter, he had it arranged that she get his pension, it was put in an account for her, but she doesn't get it till she is twenty-one.
The O'Neill kids were growing up fast, the four younger ones just had there first birthday and they just had a party, which made every one happy. and the rebel jaffa was growing since the word has spread about what was happening the system lords are not happy and planning an attack.
