A/N Thanks for reading! I just want to say thank you for the reviews!I need to address the fact that a lot has happened in this story since I wrote the story Always Meant to Be. I wanted Sam and Janet to be pregnant at the same time, so I added another child!Feed back is always welcome!
There were police everywhere when Sam and Jack arrived at the park. Laney and Missy were in tears. Cam was standing with a police officer who was talking to Kim and Wendy.
"This is a crime scene. You can't be here." A man in a suit walked up to them.
"We are looking for our one-year-old daughter, Hannah." Jack asked. Sam was looking around the playground. She saw the Laura holding Tucker close, Josh had his arm around Devlin. Older children had been taken as well. Sam couldn't believe this was happening. Her baby girl and many other children were missing.
Sam walked towards the playpen.
"You can't go over there, ma'am!" The man said,
Sam stood at the yellow tape around the pen. She could see Hannah's dog she let her bring with her. Hannah needed it to sleep.
"She needs her dog!" Sam asked urgently.
"What?" Jack asked, walking over to Sam.
"We need to find Hannah! She can't sleep without her dog. I thought the playpen would keep them safe!" Sam said, wrapping her arms around herself. Jack could see Sam blaming herself.
"Sam, the playpen was an excellent idea. We will find Hannah. They do not know whose kid they took." Jack said, wrapping her in a hug.
"Are you Samantha Carter?" The officer asked.
"Yes."
"You don't remember me, but I'm friends with your brother, Mark. I'm Pete Shanahan." Pete said, smiling.
"I thought you were in Denver. Why are you here?" Sam asked.
"I followed my case here. Unfortunately, the kidnapping case ran cold when I got here until this happened." Pete said, frowning.
"They took how many kids from Denver?" Jack asked.
"Three"
"How did they go from taking three kids to ten kids? Half of them being babies!" Jack asked.
"I don't know. That is quite a jump. Maybe they had more people this time. Maybe this is where they are from and not Denver." Pete said, shaking his head.
"We gave them more kids, Jack! They saw an opportunity, and those monsters took them." Sam said, her voice cracking.
"Do you have a recent photo of your daughter?"Pete asked.
Jack pulled out his wallet and pulled out a family picture from Christmas eve. Pete smiled softly at the picture.
"She looks a lot like you, Sam. What is her name?" Pete asked.
"Hannah, Hannah Grace Carter O'Neill. She's thirteen months old." Sam said.
"All the kids' parents are employees of Cheyenne mountain?" Pete asked.
"Yes, they were attending a memorial service for a team member." Jack explained.
Teal'c showed up with Hank and Frank. Wendy, Kim and Cam walked over to them. Frank hugged Wendy. Sam was feeling really sick.
"Dad, I'm sorry I lost sight of Lola. Everyone was running, and I was trying to find her, but I couldn't. I heard her scream but everyone was running and I couldn't hear which way the scream came from." Devlin said, shaking his head.
"This is not your fault. The people who took the kids this is their fault!" Cam said as he hugged Devlin.
More people showed up. Some were picking up children, others were looking around the playground and other parts of the park.
"If Lola got taken, Will and Davis are with her. Those three are inseparable." Micha said, walking up.
"Benny was with them." Tucker said.
Sam hurried away. She made it to the bush right before she threw up. Jack hurried over to Sam and rubbed her back.
"Is she OK?" Pete asked, walking up to Sam and Jack.
"She's pregnant and stressed." Jack snapped.
Teal'c was looking in the woods around the playground. He heard a noise. He stopped at a dilapidated tool shed. Teal'c tried to open the door, but it was locked. He listened at the door again. There was that noise. He hurried back to the playground.
"Colonel Mitchell, was Lola wearing her bell she found at Christmas?" Teal'c asked, hurrying up to Cam.
"Yeah, she never takes it off! Why did you find something?" Cam asked.
"I need to get into the shed in the woods immediately!" Teal'c said to Pete.
"I'll go get the key from the groundskeeper." Pete said. He then hurried to another part of the park.
"What did you find?" Missy asked again, coming up to Teal'c.
"I believe I heard a noise in the shed. It sounded like Lola Mitchell's bell." Teal'c said.
Pete came back with the groundskeeper.
"I don't have a key to that building. I never have. I'm pretty sure the door has always been unlocked." The grounds keeper said.
"It is not unlocked!" Teal'c insisted. Cam ran towards the building.
"Lola! Are you in here?" Cam called through the door. There was scrapping coming from inside, then the door was yanked.
"Daddy!" Lola said, leaping into Cam's arms.
"My baby girl! What were you doing in there?" Cam asked. Davis and Will stuck their heads out of the door.
"Mommy!"
"Uncle Micha!"
The boys ran towards the adults. Micha scooped Will up and Teddy caught Davis hugging him tightly.
"Is Benny with you, sweetheart?" Missy asked, after kissing Davis.
"He is in the hut. The bad guys put us in there and said they would hurt Tucker and Devlin if we made a noise. They put the babies in the big truck and said they would be back for us." Will explained.
"They bad guys hurt Ryder and Makyla's leg!" Davis said.
Jack and Teal'c walked into the hut. Ryder and Makyla were in a wheelbarrow, their legs bent at an odd angle. Benny was asleep on a bench behind them. Jack checks for a pulse on both children. They both had strong pulse they were probably passed out from the pain.
"We need an ambulance!" Jack called.
Teddy and Jeremy came into the hut. Teddy picked Benny up from the bench and took him to Missy. Jeremy gently touched Ryder's head.
"What did they do to you, my baby boy, and where is your sister?" Jeremy asked softly
They got Ryder and Makyla in an ambulance and Makyla's dad and Jeremy rode with the kids.
They were still missing the babies. Hannah, Phoenix, Phoebe, Lilly and two-year-old Lexi Cola.
"What kind of truck did they put the babies in?" Pete asked Lola after the ambulance, picked up Ryder and Makyla.
"It was a big moving truck! He told us to be quiet in the hut until they got all the babies and then they would be back for us." Lola sniffed.
"Was anything written on the side of back?" Pete asked as he handed Lola a tissue.
"No, it was white." Lola said, shaking her head.
"They could be out of town by now!" Sam said.
"I'll have my men look into all the moving companies here and surrounding areas with white trucks. We'll find them." Pete promised.
It was later that night, Jack walked with Sam in the house. Sam cried, seeing Hannah's toys in the living room. Jacob took Sam to her bedroom to make sure she laid down and rested. Jack felt helpless. He was glad he went to see Hannah and Sam after the team got back from saving Thor. They even had to push back the memorial until the team got back. Hannah had been so excited to see excited him. They laughed and played until she fell asleep on his chest. No one blamed Sam, Wendy or Kim for what happened, but they blamed themselves.
Hannah woke up in a crib she had never been in before.
"Mama! Dada!" Hannah called. She couldn't remember what happened. All she remembered were kids screaming.
"Hello little miss! Your mommy and daddy are waiting for you!" A woman said, walking into the room. Hannah had never seen this woman before. Hannah let the woman pick her up. The woman changed her diaper and put on clothes she had never worn before.
"Mama?" Hannah asked.
"That's right. We are going to see mama. You are definitely sweeter than the others." The woman said, taking Hannah out of the room and down the hall. The woman carried her into another room with more people she didn't recognize.
"Oh, she is precious!" A woman with dark blonde hair cooed, standing up. The woman reached for Hannah.
"No! Mama!" Hannah said, trying to wiggle from the other woman. The blonde woman looked down sadly.
"She's just a little nervous. Give her time." A red hair man with the blonde said soothingly. Hannah screamed.
"Here, hold her. I'm sure she will calm down when she is in your arms." The woman struggled with Hannah.
"It's OK baby mommy has you!" The blonde soothed, taking Hannah.
"You're not my mommy!" Hannah cried. The red-haired man swiped something under Hannah's nose. Hannah felt sleepy. She tried to push away, but her eyes wouldn't stay open.
"I told you she would get use to you!" The red-haired man said. The blonde laid Hannah's head on her chest.
"She is older than when we got the boys. She is precious and I want a little girl badly." The blonde stroked Hannah's face.
"She is feisty, but I think she will fit in with our crew. You have a deal." The red-haired man shook the other man's hand.
They walked out of the building with Hannah. They buckled Hannah into a car seat and drove off.
Jack sat up, gasping. The nightmare made him want to throw up. Hannah was dead and there was nothing he could do about it, at least in the nightmare.
"Jack? Baby, you are shaking." Sam said, pulling Jack into her arms. He sobbed on her shoulder as Sam rubbed her hand up and down his spine. They had both woken up several times a night crying into each other's arms and falling back into a restless sleep.
Two weeks later,
General Hammond stood at the bottom of the ramp in the gate room as Narim, High Chancellor Travell, and Lya came through the gate.
"Welcome back to the SGC!" Hammond greeted.
"Thank you, General Hammond. We came as soon as possible, but what is this about? Your message was vague?" Narim asked.
"I will explain everything right now. Follow me to the infirmary for a routine exam." Hammond said, leading them out of the gate room.
They heard someone throwing up the minute they entered the infirmary. Janet was a little pale.
"OK, give her four milligrams of Zofran in her IV. She can't keep that up or she's going to end up in the hospital." Janet said, looking at Darius. He nodded and walked away.
Darius walked behind a curtain that Teal'c was standing in front.
"Sam, you can't go to the meeting sick like this. Let him give you the medicine! Maybe Hammond can postpone the meeting until you wake up." Jack said from behind the curtain.
"What is wrong with Samantha?" Narim asked.
"She has bad morning sicknesses." Janet said.
"She is with child?" Narim asked.
"Yes." Janet said, nodding.
"You are with child. Are you not sick as well?" Lya asked.
Hammond let out a sigh. He hated finding out things about his people from other people first. Janet didn't make eye contact. Janet was going to tell him soon. She was only eight weeks.
"I'm not as sick as Sam, but I took some medicine to help me." Janet said.
Hammond walked behind the curtain. He walked back out a few minutes later, shaking his head.
"Go head and begin the exams on our guest. hopefully Major Carter O'Neill will feel better by the time they are done." Hammond ordered.
"Yes, sir!" Janet said.
"We need to talk in my office later, doctor." Hammond said firmly before leaving the infirmary.
"Yes, sir!" Janet said.
Hammond pinched his nose as he walked down the hall. He was going to have to ask for aspirin later. He knew the President would never have agreed to this if his people of the SGC hadn't saved earth many times before, especially SG-1.
It was later that afternoon everyone was in the debriefing room. Cam stood at the front of the room.
"Thank you all for coming. We called you here today to ask for help. Two weeks ago, five children of employees of the SGC disappeared. The oldest is Alexis Cola. She goes by Lexi. She just turned two years old." Cam said, putting up a photo of a little strawberry blonde girl. She had big green eyes and freckles. Her big grin made her nose wrinkle.
"She speaks well even though she may not tell anyone she is in trouble." Cam explained.
"The next are seventeen months twins. Phoenix and Phoebe Jamison and their cousin Lilly Hasbrooke fifteen months." Cam said as he put up a picture of the twins. Phoenix had almost white hair with bright blue eyes. He wasn't smiling in the picture, unlike Phoebe seemed to laugh. Her hazel eyes sparkled, and they pulled her dark blonde hair into a little ponytail. Lilly was next to them with blue eyes and blonde hair pulled up into two doggy ears. She was laughing too.
"I'm sorry this is really upsetting that children were taken, but why were we called here?" High Chancellor Travell asked.
"We believe they may have been taken off world. It has been two weeks without a sign of the children. By now with the Intel we have something usually shows up with evidence or bodies appear. Neither has happened. We think someone may have stolen them to sell on the black market but ended up selling them to someone with access to a ship. We don't want you to tell the galaxy to come kidnap our children, but we are just asking you to keep your ears and eyes open for any new children or talk of people with children that have been recently adopted." Cam said.
"You said there are five children?" Lya asked.
"Yes, the youngest is Hannah Grace Carter O'Neill. She is thirteen months old." Cam said, putting up a picture of Hannah. Hannah was smiling big. Her big, bright brown eyes stared at them. Blonde hair now laid down and curled at the ends.
All eyes turned to look at the couple at the end of the table.
"The thing about Hannah is she was born with naquda in her blood. We are unsure how she got it from Sam, but we are pretty sure it is the reason our symbiotes can understand her babble. We can communicate extremely well. Which unfortunately if a system lord finds this out she could be in danger." Jacob explained.
"Do any of the other children have naquda in their blood?" Lya asked.
"No." Cam said.
"We are sorry this happened and we will keep a watchful eye." Lya said.
Narim nodded in agreement.
"Please, help us find them!" Sam said sadly.
