A/N So this chapter is done a little differently. I made it more from Hannah Carter O'Neill's point of view. When it says Hannah says something, the adults are hearing baby babble.This idea is from the movies Look Who's Talking and Baby Geniuses.There are direct quotes from Season 5 episode Desperate Measures.Thanks for reading! Let me know what you think!
Six month Hannah squirmed in her crib she wasn't ready to wake up but her diaper needed changing. She cried so mommy came into her room.
"Morning, sweetheart!" Sam said, smiling at Hannah. Hannah calmed down some and smiled at her mommy. Sam picked Hannah up and took her to the changing table.
"Mama where's daddy? Can I go to work with you today? I want to talk to you about the theory you and uncle Bill were talking about. Maybe I can help you!" Hannah said, as her mommy took her into the kitchen.
"You are chatty today, baby doll! Are you telling me about your dreams? I hope they were wonderful dreams." Sam said, then kissed Hannah on the cheek before putting her in her highchair.
Sam mixed up some baby cereal. Hannah had been eating baby cereal for a couple of weeks and seemed to love it. Sam put on Hannah's bib with the planets and stars on it and the words "Mommy's Universe." Hannah leaned forward with her mouth open when Sam came towards her with the spoon. Sam put the spoon in Hannah's mouth.
"It's so yummy!" Sam said, smiling.
"Will you take me with you to another planet, mommy?" Hannah asked as Sam wiped off her face and hands.
"Let's pack some cereal to take to daycare!" Sam said, dumping some cereal into a container. She put the cereal in Hannah's bag. She then took Hannah into her room to breastfeed her. Hannah always ate a little slower after her cereal, but she stayed fuller longer with both the cereal and milk. After she burped Hannah, Sam stood up with Hannah.
"Let's get dressed and go to daycare! Mommy won't be long today. I just want to go run some errands." Sam said, sitting Hannah in her bouncy seat and buckling her in. Sam opened the dresser drawer.
"I'm feeling something pink but no bow today, they poke." Hannah said, kicking her legs.
"How about your princess dress and leggings you haven't worn those in a while?" Sam pulled out the purple outfit with cartoon princess on the shirt. The purple leggings had outlines of items from the movie. Sam then opened a smaller drawer and pulled out a white hairband with a purple bow.
"I was thinking something else, but if you are sure?" Hannah said, as Sam pick her up.
"Can you say mama? Say mama, baby!" Sam cooed as she dressed Hannah.
"I can say a lot more if adults just listened." Hannah said.
"I know you are going to say Dada first, but lets change it up and say mama," Sam sat Hannah up.
"I'm going to wait and say something of great importance." Hannah said.
Sam put the headband on Hannah, then stood her up to see in the mirror that was hanging near the changing table.
"That's my pretty girl. You are so strong, beautiful, and smart. My miracle girl!" Sam said, kissing Hannah after each word. Hannah smiled enormously. Hannah turn her head and placed a big opened mouth kiss on Sam's cheek.
"Thank you, baby! You swing while mommy gets dressed." Sam put Hannah in her swing and went to get dressed. Sam dressed in her workout clothes, then pack a bag to change, so she could run errands.
She put Hannah in the van and drove to the child care center. Sam checked Hannah in at the front desk and headed for the nursery. Sam knocked on the door.
"Good morning, Hannah and Major Carter O'Neill!" Jane said, opening the door for them.
"Good morning!" Sam said as she gave Hannah to Jane.
"Hannah had a fantastic tummy time yesterday. She got on her knees and rocked. You might have an early crawler." Jane said, putting Hannah on a play mat.
"Yeah, she has been doing that at home. I think it is time to start baby proofing the house more!" Sam said, grinning.
Sam wrote when Hannah last ate.
"Bye, sweetheart, have fun! I love you!" Sam said, then left the nursery.
"Hey Davey! Are your ears feeling better?" Hannah asked the little boy on the next play mat.
"No, my gums are itchy today." Davey said, then began chewing on his hand.
"I think you are getting teeth in. That hurts. I'm sorry." Hannah said.
"Yeah, I hope mommy comes back soon." Davey whined.
"My mommy is coming back soon and we are going to spend the entire weekend together!" Hannah said.
Davey cried.
"You have been fussy all morning. That's not like you, baby. He feels a little warm." Jane said, picking him up and pressing her cheek on Davy's forehead.
"I'll check his temperature." Mia said, going to the medical cabinet. She took out the thermometer and put it on his forehead.
"Oh, our boy has a fever. Better go call his mom." Jane rubbed the crying boy's back as she took him out of the room.
Hannah got on her knees. She didn't want to be by herself.
"I want my friend!" Hannah screamed.
"Oh, baby doll, I hope you don't have a fever." Mia said, putting the clean thermometer on Hannah's head.
"Nope, no fever. Are you just sad your friend left? Why don't we take a walk? You love those!" Mia asked.
Mia then took Hannah in the hall and put her in a stroller. The center had extra strollers for babies to be walked. She pushed Hannah around the center. It was a nice, warm day, so she took Hannah outside to watch the older kids play. Lola ran up to Hannah.
"Hey, Banana baby!" Lola cooed.
"Lola, I missed you!" Hannah grinned.
"Can I push her around the sidewalk?" Lola asked.
"Sure, just don't run with her." Mia said.
Lola barely reached the stroller's handle and had to peep around the side to see, but she pushed Hannah around the playground until she fell asleep.
Sam walked out to her van with her bag over her shoulder. She just had a couple of things to do, then she could go pick Hannah up. She always felt a little guilty about leaving Hannah when she wasn't working. It was easier to run errands without having to take a baby in and out of the car. Sometimes she just needed a great workout to feel better. Hannah was always happy when she picked her up, so that helped with the guilt.
Sam had just put her bag in the van when a white van pulled up behind her. She began to fight when men dressed in all black jumped out and grabbed her. Sam screamed as loud as she could when they pulled her in the van.
Forty-eight hours later,
Micha Peyton couldn't help but smirk when his teammate let out a yelp.
"Be still or it's going to hurt worse, Major." Dr. Lam grounded out. Major Bills had made Dr. Lam mad, not knowing she would be the one to their post mission blood work and shots.
"I think she just jabbed it in with her eyes closed." Major Bills walked, rubbing his butt.
"I told you your mouth was going to get you in trouble, Major, especially with our over worked beautiful doctors." Colonel Matthews said. The large, friendly man winked at Janet, who was doing blood work on another team. He was a happily married man, he just like to play flirt.
Carolyn was now twenty weeks pregnant because of the twins. She looked more like she was thirty weeks. Her belly was enormous and round, but it didn't stop her from doing her work. Carolyn smiled as she walked over to Colonel Matthews with a needle. He pulled up his sleeve, and she cleaned the area and gently gave him the shot.
"So, do you know what you are having?" Micha asked.
"No, when my husband gets back. I'm going to make an ultrasound appointment. Lola wants us to do a gender reveal with a cake like Major Carter O'Neill did with her baby girl." Carolyn said, putting her hand on her belly.
"Will still talks about Lola's party. He wants to have his party at a water park. I'm afraid he is so little he won't get to do anything at his own party." Micha said.
"What about the play place at the mall? I know they rent out at certain times because Lo has been to a couple of parties there. Very pregnant mamas can sit down in the air-conditioning." Carolyn said, smiling.
"That's an amazing idea! Will loves that place, thank you!" Micha beamed.
Janet came over to Carolyn, looking upset.
"The day care center just called me. Hannah hasn't been picked up yet and they haven't heard from Sam since Saturday morning. They were worried because Sam usual calls to check on Hannah. It's protocol for the day care to call the emergency contact if the parents or other contacts haven't checked in on the child in forty-eight hours." Janet explained.
"Oh my God! Go get Hannah and I'll go see when SG-1 gets back." Carolyn said.
"What's wrong?" Jack asked, walking in the infirmary.
"We are not sure what happened, but we have not heard Sam from since Saturday morning when she dropped Hannah at daycare. I'm going to go talk to General Hammond and pick up Hannah. You need to follow post mission protocol and then we'll find Sam." Janet said calmly but firmly.
Jack was shocked and concerned, but nodded and let Janet leave.
"OK, let's get this over with. I need to find my wife." Jack barked at one nurse.
Sam woke up groggy and in restraints. She fought and pull at the restraints. She heard a door open.
"Good morning, Major." A man in a doctor's coat walked.
"What happened? Where am I?" Sam asked, still struggling.
"In a hospital." Another doctor said.
"What happened?" Sam asked. Did she get in an accident she didn't remember?
"We need to run a few tests." The doctor said as the other doctor began fill a needle with sedative.
"What test? Why am I restrained? No! NO!" Sam panicked and pulled more, seeing the needle. Then everything went dark.
Janet carried Hannah down the hall of the SGC. The poor baby was so exited to see Janet that she busted into uncontrollable sobs. Janet had to hold Hannah for a few minutes before putting her in the car to take her to the SGC. Hannah was used to being left with other people, but not at daycare where she didn't get to play with her toys that her aunts and uncles left at their houses or sleep in a crib, she knew. Hannah had the doll Bra'tac gave her clutched tightly in her hand.
Janet walked into the debriefing room. Hannah squealed loudly seeing Jack sitting on the corner of the table. Jack quickly took Hannah, hugging her tightly.
"Daddy, where is mommy? She has been gone so long!" Hannah said sadly.
"Daddy is so sorry, baby! We'll find mama I promise." Jack said, then kissed her on the head. Hannah laid her head on Jack's chest. She could tell her daddy was very sad and didn't understand how her mommy was lost. She knew what would make him happy. He had been trying for weeks to get her to do it.
"Da.. Da.. dada!" Hannah grinned, patting Jack on the chest. Jack looked at her, shocked.
"That's right, baby girl! Dada is going to find mama!" Jack said, w01 smiling.
"Was that her first time saying Dada?" Daniel asked.
"It was! She has been babbling like full sentences for a while now. I knew my little genius would say it soon. So smart, just like her mama." 5 Jack bumped Hannah's nose with his.
"Jack, you know we don't have jurisdiction out of this facility." Hammond said.
"We can still look, can't we?"
Jack didn't want to leave Hannah again, so he put Hannah in his truck and drove to the place Sam like to workout at. Hannah was asleep, so Jack rolled down the windows and locked the truck doors and went to talk to the homeless man he saw by the woods. He didn't like the sound of ninjas but had a feeling of who was involved.
Jack fed Hannah her bottle as Daniel sent a message to Maybourne on the movie website. He didn't want to leave Hannah again, but there was no way he was letting Harry Maybourne even look at his baby girl. Jack knew Ashley would take good care of Hannah for him.
The man dressed as a doctor pushed Sam's bed into the room. Despite the drugs they kept pumping into her, Sam got out of the bed. She was able to get a tool to help cut her restraints. Even in her foggy state of mind, she just wanted to get out and back to Hannah and Jack.
Jack put in the code to enter the nursery. Hannah fussed.
"Come on, dad I don't want to be left again." Hannah whined.
"You know how to make daddy feel guilty." Jack said, sighing.
"Come here, banana! We are going to have fun!" Ashley said as she took Hannah.
"Dada!" Hannah cried.
"Daddy promises he will come get you tonight!" Jack kissed Hannah before hurrying out the door.
Ashley walked and bounced Hannah as she screamed. The pacifier was not calming her down.
"Hannah banana, I don't think I've heard you this upset before." Ashley said, as she dug through Hannah's bag. She pulled out a pink fuzzy blanket and wrapped the blanket around Hannah. She then found a rag doll.
"I like your doll, Hannah! She reminds me of you." Ashley said, as she put the doll close to Hannah's face. Hannah calmed down some as Hannah grabbed the doll. Ashley sat down in a rocking chair, humming softly.
"She's a pretty baby." Iris said, walking up to Hannah.
"Yes, she is. This is Hannah. Hannah, this is iris." Ashley introduced.
Hannah calmed down some to look at Iris. She remembered seeing a green baby when she was younger. There was a green baby playing on the floor and two were in swings.
"Do you want to play and make friends now? Iris, would you bring Hannah some toys?" Ashley asked as she sat down on the play mat with the other baby.
"You're the pretty girl I met when I was little." Simon said, looking at Hannah.
"I remember mama rubbing my lotion on your arm." Hannah said.
"They did not make me with a mother, but I have a dad." Simon said.
"I miss my mama. They don't know where she is. Daddy will bring her home." Hannah said determinedly.
"Boy, you guys became fast friends just babbling to each other." Ashley said, smiling as she laid the other babies on the mat. She took Adam to change his diaper.
,"Hey guys, you're going to give away our secret if you keep having conversations with each other. Remember, short sentences." Iris said softly as she put toys in front of the babies.
"You little ones telling each other the secrets of the universe?" Ashley said, sitting Adam down so he could practice sitting up. He sat up for a few moments, then leaned forward so he could flop on his belly.
"Why did you say that?" Iris asked, frowning.
"I don't know. There have been movies and stories done about babies knowing the secrets and knowledge of things from long ago, but they lose the knowledge as they get older and start to speak. I think that is a cool theory. Maybe what we here as babbling is them speaking an ancient language." Ashley explains.
"That's silly!" Iris giggled.
"I know, but it is fun to pretend, right?" Ashley said, smiling.
"Yup! I love you!" Iris said, hugging Ashley.
"I love you too, baby!"
"I wish we could tell her." Violet said.
"You know we'll remember when we are older. Should we tell her then?" Angelica asked.
"No, that's not how this works." Adam sighed.
Jack was so relieved when they figured out where to find Sam. He sent Daniel and Teal'c to the front of the hospital. He wanted to keep his eye on Maybourne. Jack didn't like Maybourne having a gun, but right now he could hear Sam calling out for someone to stop. He quickly busted into the room.
"Hold it right there! Drop it! Don't even play around." Jack pushed the men away from the bed while pointing his gun at them.
"You ok, Sam?" Jack asked as Harry tied up the men.
"Yes, very dramatic, thank you! The keys for the cuffs are in his pocket." Sam panted.
Jack unhand cuffed Sam and she quickly hugged him. He gave her a quick, sweet kiss.
"Hannah?" Sam asked in his chest.
"Is safe with Janet. Are you ready?" Jack asked, handing her a gun.
"I'm ready." Sam said,
Sam had never been happier as she was standing in the infirmary holding Hannah and talking to Jack and Hammond. She felt guilty Jack had been shot, but his shoulder would heal.
Hannah had been so happy to see her mommy that they both broke down in tears. She had her doll clenched in one hand and Sam's shirt in the other hand. She was listening to her Mommy's heartbeat and the soothing sound of her voice as she talked to daddy. Hannah knew she shouldn't do this, but they already called her a genius, which she was.
"Ma ma mama," Hannah grinned up at Sam.
"Jack!" Sam gasped.
"I heard the little stinker say mama first!" Jack grinned. There was no way he was going to tell Sam, Hannah said Dada first. Not as guilty as Sam felt about Hannah staying in daycare for so long, even though it wasn't Sam's fault. By the small smile on Hammond's face, he wasn't telling either.
Hammond knew Hannah was a little young to be saying both mama and Dada at the same time, but he knew with two intelligent parents Hannah was going to be above average. She knew what her parents needed right now to be happy.
