Jack's House
It was as if Jack was falling into depression. It had been getting closer and closer to the time frame that Janet had given him. Soon, no doubt in a few days Sam will return to her normal age. He was feeling mixed emotions. First there was little Sam. He will miss her immensely and the time he had spent as a father. Then there was Sam. His Sam, what if she remembers the time they spent together. What if she didn't. He couldn't figure out which one was worse. And, two months of being a father, taking care of the women he loves, during that time he had dreamt of having a family with her.

When she returned, there would be the regulations to follow. If he told her how he felt, would she return the gesture? That was one of the thoughts that kept him awake at night.

He put his thoughts away and looked at the little girl sucking on a lollipop, looking at a Rugrats picture book. He wanted desperately for Sam to be his. He went to the counter and pulled out a camera. And snapped a couple of shots of Sam, unaware that he was taking pictures.

Jack went to Sam, still holding the camera in his hands. "Why are you always taking pictures?"

"So that when you get older, you can look at them and remember."

"Remember what?"

"Sometimes, when people grow up, they forget a lot of things, things that happened along time ago. So they take pictures to remember."

"Oh," She grabbed the camera from his hands and started to take pictures of Jack. "I never want to forget you."

His eyes got watery. He grabbed Sam and she sat on his lap. "Daddy?" She looked up at Jack, her face scrunching in worry.

"Yeah baby?"

"Why are you crying?"

"Dust bunnies." He gave Sam a tight hug and rocked her. "Just dust bunnies."

Sam was wrapped around in Jack's arms. If Janet was right, (She usually was) then it wouldn't be long till Sam returned to her normal self. Jack has been thinking the past couple days about Sam. And he had concluded that it would be such a waste if he didn't know, he was going to tell Sam how much he cares for her. And if she didn't feel the same, big deal, they were still friends. That's all Jack needed.

Sg-1 with the addition of Janet, and General Hammond, were sitting around little Sam in a privet infirmary room watching Sam play. Jack would tell stories of the things they did the past two months and the little kid things that Sam does.

"Daddy?"

All heads turned to Jack. "Yes?"

"My foot hurts." He pulled off the sneakers that she was wearing, they were tight on her. Then everyone noticed the flower print shirt suddenly becoming tight as well.

"I think it's time everyone left." Janet said, knowing that it was time and Sam's going to need her own sized clothing. Janet pulled out the fatigues and boots that she had nearby. She placed them on the bed. Everyone started to leave the room.

"Daddy? Where are you going?"

Jack gave little Sam a memorable long hug, then said, "Be right back princess."

Sam looked confused. "OK." She was left alone in the room. She looked down to her body, her shirt and shorts were really tight. She let out a groan and took her clothes off. A few minutes later, she was back to her self. "Wha..." she looked down and saw her nude form, then the small pile of children's clothing. She went to the side of the bed where she saw her clothes and put them on. While she was dressing, she had blurred memories. Of her childhood, memories she didn't remember till now. She got out of the room to see Sg-1, Janet, and Hammond.

"You're back!" Jack leaped forward and hugged Sam. After an awkward glance, everyone else hugged Sam, one by one.

"Wow, I have this really bizarre feeling." Sam looked over at the calendar. "Really weird."

"Do you remember?" Daniel asked.

"Uh, something happened right? I remember things from along time ago."

"Sam was turned into a three year old child. So she remembers the last two months from a child's perspective. It all happened along time ago." Janet figured.

"I guess that works." Sam said. "I know what happened, just feels like twenty something years ago other than two months."

"May I talk to Sam alone?" Jack asked. Ready to tell her... hoping...
