Chapter 5 - Going Back for Those We Left Behind.
2010 Embarkation Room - SGC
Sam Carter and Isabel Carter stepped through the stargate in their time into their SGC and smiled. General Hammond and Jacob Carter were waiting at the bottom of the ramp. "Where have you two been?!" Jacob Carter asked worried.
"How long have we been gone?" Sam asked interested.
"How long have you been gone? You mean you don't even know?" Sam shook her head. "You've been gone for well over a week!"
"If Jacob hadn't called to talk to you when you were scheduled to be back we would have just thought that you two were staying with him longer than planned," Hammond spoke up.
"We were in the past," Sam told them.
"The past?" Jacob asked with disbelief.
"Yep, and I met my dad!" Isabel said happily.
"Dad?" Jacob asked looking from Isabel to Sam.
"I'll tell you all about it Dad," Sam told her father. "The point is that we're both okay and that we're home."
"She's right Jacob," Hammond said.
"So, you know you're grounded, right?" Jacob joked.
Sam hugged her father, "I've missed you Dad."
"I've missed you too, Sam."
"Sam! Isabel!" came the worried yet excited voice of Major Paul Davis. "Where have you been?! Are you okay?!"
"Calm down, Paul," Sam said as he pulled her into his arms. "We're fine."
"I was so worried for both of you," Paul said turning his attention to Isabel and picking her up and holding onto her. "Are you okay Izzy?"
"Yeah, I'm fine," Isabel said hugging him back. She was happy to be home and she smiled when she saw Daniel standing next to the gate. She mouthed hi, and then turned her attention back to her mom, Paul, Grandpas Jacob and George.
2002 Jack's Quarters - SGC
Jack had convinced General Hammond to let them go back for Majors Carter and Davis. He had an hour until they were suppose to leave. Jack opened his drawer and pulled out a drawing of a purple dog that Isabel had made for him and placed it on the wall above his bedstand, "perfect." He looked down, on the bedstand was a picture of Isabel. He sat down on his bed and just kept his eyes on the drawing and picture, and planned like staying like that until it was time for him to gear up for the mission.
2002 - An Hour Later. Embarkation Room
When Colonel O'Neill and Teal'c entered the embarkation room, SG Units 3 and 6 were standing by along with Doctor Frasier and her team. Hammond walked down from the control room and over to O'Neill. "General," Jack said.
"Colonel, you will take SG-3, SG-6, and Teal'c with you to retrieve Majors Carter and Davis. Doctor Frasier and her team will be on standby in case they need medical attention."
"Thank you, General."
"Bring them home safely."
"Yes, sir," Jack said and turned to the gate as it began to dial. The wormhole was established and Jack and Teal'c started up the ramp with SG-3 and SG-6 behind them.
2002 - Fifteen Minutes Later. On The Planet
Jack, Teal'c, SG-3, and SG-6 had searched the immediate vicinity of the stargate. Jack and Teal'c after not finding them searched off in one direction while SG-3 watches the gate and SG-6 heads in the other direction. About an hour Jack and Teal'c searched in their direction until they heard some rustling and went to investigate. They found Major Davis all bruised and bloody, he looked like he was going to pass out. "Davis?" O'Neill asked almost not recognizing the young major.
"Colonel? You came back for us?" Major Davis asked seeming a bit confused.
"Yes," Jack said suddenly feeling a bit better when Davis said 'us'. "Where's Carter?"
"She's not far, she's just tired from the running.they finally gave up."
Major Davis started to lead them into their hiding spot. "Gave up?"
"They've been after us ever since you left, they just now gave up," Davis explained.
"You are badly injured, Major Davis," Teal'c said being his rather observant self.
"It's nothing, it's just from falling.when we were too tired to run we often fell and it wasn't exactly planned."
"How's Carter?" Jack asked concerned.
"She's fine, sir." Davis finally led them to a small opening in the side of a small hill. When they entered they saw that Davis and Carter had done pretty well, they had a fire and it was at a comfortable temperature.
Colonel O'Neill went over to Sam when he saw her asleep on the floor, it's not that he didn't trust Davis, he just trusted himself more. He looked her over quickly, checked for a pulse, and then felt her forehead for a temperature. "Carter?" he said trying to wake her.
Sam Carter opened her eyes slowly, and when she saw her colonel looking down at her she was in shock. "Colonel?!"
"It's okay, Carter, it's time to go home." Colonel O'Neill said helping her to her feet. "Let's go home, campers," Jack said looking at Carter, Davis, and then to Teal'c.
2002 - Two Days Later. SGC - Carter's Lab
Major Sam Carter was in her lab tidying it up, she hadn't been there to keep it neat. She and Major Davis had spent two days in the infirmary, and had just been released. She heard a knock on the door and looked up to see Colonel Jack O'Neill walk in. "Hello sir," she said giving him a weak smile.
"Carter, we need to talk."
"Yes, sir. What about?"
"About me leaving you and Davis behind."
"You had to, there was no other way.we understood."
"If I could have gotten to you both, I would have."
"I know."
"Hammond wouldn't let us return until it was safe.and."
"Colonel, I know."
"I just.I wanted you to understand."
"I do."
"Good, then I'll see you at the briefing later?"
"Yes, sir," Sam told him and with that he left her to tidy up on her own.
2010 Sam's House
Doctor Samantha Carter had resigned from the SGC when she and Isabel had arrived home and in their own time. General Hammond hadn't argued. He had said that he was retiring in a month. So, Sam and Isabel moved out of the SGC and went home. When they arrived Paul Davis was waiting for them. He was sitting on the steps on the front porch. "Welcome back," he told them, "General Hammond called and filled me in on what happened.sounds like you two had quite a trip."
"We did!" Isabel said running to hug Paul. She handed him a note, "Dad said to give this to you."
"Dad?" he asked confused.
"My dad."
Paul looked at Sam and then back at Isabel. He opened the note and it read:
To Major Paul Davis- Thank you for taking care of Sam and Isabel, you are a great man. Do me one favor. Get a dog! Signed, Colonel Jack O'Neill
Paul laughed lightly to himself and then looked up at Sam and Isabel.
"What does it say?" Sam asked.
"He says get a dog."
Sam smiled, "he never changes."
"Would you have it any other way?"
"No."
Paul stood up, "okay, let's get those boxes into the house." Sam unlocked the door and then she and Paul pulled the boxes out of the car and took them in the house.
2010 - Six Months Later. Davis Family Residence - Colorado Springs
It had been six months since Doctor Sam Carter had resigned from the SGC, and in that time.she and Paul had been seeing more and more of each other and had gotten married and were living together. Paul had done the favor for Jack, and gotten a dog for Isabel. They were happy. And that's all that mattered to any of them, that they were happy and safe. Well as safe as they could be with Sam being ex-SGC personnel and Paul still working at the SGC.
