Not really sure where this came from but I've always wondered what happened when Cassie found out about Janet.

Cassie knew there was something wrong as soon as she saw Sam at the door, asking the teacher if she could borrow Cassie for a few minutes.

When the teacher had agreed Cassie had stood, sharing a confused look with her best friend before she walked out the door.

Sam, Daniel and Teal'c were all there looking sad. "Where's Jack?" she asked quietly, dreading the answer.

"He's in the infirmary," Sam answered, "But he should be fine."

"Where's my mom?" Cassie asked shakily, if Jack was fine then the only other reason they would be looking so sad was if something had happened to someone else.

Sam looked about ready to burst into tears and then Cassie knew. "No," she shouted, causing everyone in the class room she had just left to look at the door, "She's not dead, she was at the mountain. She can't be dead."

Sam now had tears running down her cheeks and said in a low voice, "She was off world Cassie. She died saving a young father's life."

"How did she die?" Cassie asked.

"It was an errant staff blast CassandraFraiser. She was hit as she and DanielJackson were stabilising the patient."

Cassie looked at Daniel, fire in her eyes. "She died in front of you, you should have saved her."

Now she had tears streaming down her face. She turned and went back into the class, ignoring the looks her class mates were giving her and she stuffed her stuff into her bag. Knowing that getting past Daniel and the others was going to be difficult she headed towards the fire exit and left through that.

She ran towards the school field, not caring who saw the tears that were streaming down her face. She was aware of the fire door opening and shutting another time behind her and knew that someone had followed her out. She speed up, she didn't want to speak to anyone right now; she didn't think that she could deal with talking to anyone right now.

She should have known she wouldn't have been able to out run Sam, maybe Daniel but never Sam. She felt a hand on her shoulder and then found herself spun around and in Sam's embrace. She began to sob as Sam eased them to the floor, rocking her gently.

"I'm sorry Cassie, so sorry," Sam muttered into her hair.

"I can't believe she's gone," Cassie mumbled between sobs.

"I know Cass, I know." She felt Sam's arms move and then tighten around her. The next thing she knew Sam had lifted her off the floor, just like when she and Sam had been in the bunker when she first arrived on Earth. She buried her head into Sam's shoulder.

She was aware of being put in Sam's car and then driven to Sam's house but after that she couldn't remember anything else from that day.

This might be a little out of character for Cassie but her mum died, how else is she going to react to her second mother dying.
