Chapter 3: The whole story.
"Tissue comparison is 99% accurate".
Jack's mind was going a mile a minute as he was thinking back 23 years into his past, as he recollected the events all he could think was this is a time I'd sure like to forget
"I was. I was tortured in a prison in Iraq 23 years ago" he told Janet, his voice trembling as he said the words, her mouth dropped open,
"I'm sorry Jack, sorry you had to recollect such an event"
"You don't understand Janet, I was already with Sarah before I was captured, I hadn't been with another woman other then Sarah" he was a little embarrassed telling Janet that even though she was his doctor, as she felt his embarrassment she blushed red.
"Sarah's Chey's mother, Jack" she said in a low voice as they sank into his mind.
"She lied to me?" Janet didn't respond as Jack quickly stood to his feet and left her office.
He stopped for a brief moment to look at the battered small body lying in the infirmary bed as he sighed and left the complex, slipping his car into gear and speeding away.
***
He wasn't really knocking on the door but actually banging on it, his entire frustration focused on the door, as it opened revealing a very sleepy Sarah, Jack didn't notice it was 5 in the morning,
"Jack what are you doing here? Are you crazy?" she was shocked to see her ex-husband standing there, his eyes bloodshot and his short hair tousled.
"Did you have a baby when I was imprisoned in Iraq?" he cut strait to the point making her knees buckle from beneath her
"What? How did you?"
"Then it's true? Why Sarah, why did you abandon our baby? Why?" his eyes shone with unshed tears as she started crying openly
"Because I didn't think it was yours" she said. He took a step back as the magnitude of her lie suddenly hit him full force.
He wanted to say something when a man half naked came from behind Sarah, placing a protective hand around her shoulder
"What's going on honey?" he asked as Jack simply took a step back and turning around saying
"Sorry wrong house" he went down the few steps and got into his car, driving away
"Are you okay honey? Who was that?"
"Nobody" she whispered as he closed the door and ushered her back to their bedroom. She didn't care how he found out and why so many years later, she just wanted to be left alone, she wanted nothing to do with Jack O'Neill ever again.
***
As Jack entered the briefing room all eyes where upon him.
"Your late Col." General Hammond was stating the obvious as Jack took his seat
"Sorry Sir"
"Very well, first things first, Doctor? What is Cheyenne's current condition?"
"She's doing much better, we cut down on some medication, she might wake up later this evening or tomorrow morning"
"Okay, SG-1 you will resume active duty tomorrow afternoon, you are scheduled for a reconnaissance mission to P5G498, did everyone read the status report for this planet?" as George could see Teal'c bow his head and Major Carter nod as well he smiled but then
"Ah. General? I'm sorry I didn't read the report" Daniel was apologizing "I forgot I'm sorry, I was sitting with Chey and." George nodded understanding.
"Dr. Jackson, would you like to take some personal time off?"
"Yes Sir please" Daniel jumped from his seat
"I'd like some personal time off too Sir" the voice was so low the people around the table weren't sure if they really heard it until they met Jack's face, ashen and the black circles under his eyes where in plain sight
"I can't do that Col. Two of you is half the team, I'm sorry" Jack's head fell as Janet intervened
"General I think you should grant Col. O'Neill his request"
"Is there a medical reason why Col. O'Neill should not gate travel?"
"No Sir"
"Then I'm sorry I cannot allow that"
"Sir please?"
"I'm still commander of this complex Doctor, my decision is final, dismissed" he rose to his feet and went to his office closing the door behind him.
"Tell him" Janet said in a stern-voice when the other three members of the team where out the door, Jack's head was bowed and he said nothing.
"Tell him" she almost shouted at the hunched man sitting there, when he looked up at her she immediately regretted being so forceful, he was pale and she could see a fine sheen of sweat on his forehead.
"I'm sorry Col. ... Jack, you need to tell the General, you need to tell Daniel"
"I know, but I also need to tell Chey, and she deserves to be the first to know not the last" Janet nodded understanding, then stepped closer to him placing her hand on his forehead.
"You have a fever Jack, are you feeling all right?"
"Just tired that's all" he said as he rose from the chair, the movement was too sudden for him as he suddenly collapsed to the floor, hitting his head on the edge of the table and landing unconscious on the floor.
Janet yelled out
"I need some help here now" George heard the noise and stepped out of his office
"What happened?" he asked looking at Dr. Fraiser leaning over an unconscious Col.
"I don't know yet, but he just collapsed and he's running a high fever, I guess there is a medical reason for him not to gate travel, since he's unconscious" at that time the orderly's came in and placed the Col. on a gurney taking him to the infirmary, followed by Dr. Fraiser.
An hour later the General walked into the infirmary to find out what was Jack's condition
"Dr. how is he?" Janet could see how worried he was.
"He'll be okay General, with rest, he is exhausted, he has a little cold but that's about it, I will request that time off though Sir, and it is a medical order" George nodded
"No argument Dr., I'll let the rest of SG-1 know that they are back on stand down" he left noticing that Daniel placed his chair between the two beds occupying his friends, he nodded back at the General when their eyes met, no words where necessary.
"Ah" I feel sick Jack thought to himself as he woke up, he sat up too quickly feeling the wave of nausea and dizziness attacking him "Ah" came out from him again
"How are you feeling Col.?"
"I'm in the infirmary again, how do you think I feel?"
"Your fine" she said as SG-1 and Janet smiled, if he uses sarcasm he is fine, he opened his eyes meeting his team's worried expressions.
"It's nothing guys, I'm fine" he tried to reassure them touching a sore head feeling the bump on the side of his head.
"You hit your head on the table, I'll need to keep you here over night for observation, you have a slight concussion" Jack nodded too tired to argue, Teal'c and Sam bid him good night as well as to Daniel and retired to their quarters. Jack looked at Daniel.
"You okay?" Daniel asked
"I was gonna ask you the same thing"
"Hey I'm not in the infirmary am I"
"Well actually you are" Jack pointed out
"I mean in a bed, Jack, now be a good boy and get some rest"
"Yes Sir" Jack smiled a little before closing his eyes and drifting to sleep.
Jack woke to a relative quiet place, other then the soft beeping of Chey's monitors the infirmary was dark and silent, he could see Daniel asleep in his usual uncomfortable seat next to Chey's bed, the lights where out and he figured it was probably the middle of the night, he couldn't sleep anymore so he decided to give the bathroom a chance, slowly he rose from bed and went to relieve himself.
When he came beck he could hear soft moaning, he went over to Chey's bed, her head was moving from side to side slightly and her eyes where fluttering, Jack stepped closer as she slowly opened her eyes, unfocused and confused and afraid her eyes grew to two big brown circles.
"Shhh", Jack whispered "Don't be afraid, you're safe now" he knew she had no reason to believe him "Look Daniel's here, he's sleeping over here in the chair, you are at the base were he works, don't be afraid" he said again "I'm Jack" he introduced himself as she nodded trying to remove the oxygen tube running under her nose.
"Don't do that, it's supposed to help" he told her
"Thirsty" she whispered Jack poured a glass of water and handed her the cup with a straw supporting her head as she sipped a little trying not to cough
"He looks so peaceful" she said staring at Daniel
"He is very worried about you . can you tell me what happened?"
"I don't know where I was they kept me blindfolded the whole time, then they would slap me or hit me or punch my stomach sometimes they kicked me, I could hear three or four voices they always said one thing to me, Blame O'Neill, I don't know anyone named O'Neill, I told them but they just laughed, next thing I remember is waking up here" she finished in a whisper.
"Now you know an O'Neill" Jack whispered, "Hi, Jack O'Neill, pleased to meet you" her eyes widened in surprise, she set up straighter and looked intently into his eyes, they had the same eyes, the same deep expressive brown, the same tenderness and warmth.
"Can you tell me about your childhood?" he asked softly
"I was abandoned by my mother right after I was born, all my life I've been in foster homes until I started university",
"Do you know anything about your mother?"
"No nothing, I have no idea who she was, where she is, who my father is, nothing"
"Chey? I need to tell you something, something I found out about 2 days ago, Dr Fraiser who's been taking care of you sent your blood for some tests"
Cheyenne looked at him with big wondering eyes.
"Chey, I found out that I'm your father" the words flowed from his lips as her eyes grew even wider and she looked into his eyes.
"You're my father?" she repeated as he nodded
"Yes I am, and the first thing I did was go ask my ex-wife why she did what she did"
"what did she tell you?" she asked, her curiosity growing
"She said she wasn't sure you were mine, see I wasn't around when she gave birth to you, I was away on a mission, a long mission" he figured this was truth enough. As he saw Cheyenne nod again.
"Wow, my dad, I don't believe I have a family, do you want a family?" she asked worry hovering over her features.
"I.my wife and I divorced a short while after our son died, your brother would have been 16 today"
"What happened?" she asked not knowing the wounds she was digging into
"He accidentally shot himself" Jack answered his voice trembling as Chey's face fell as she felt the lose of a brother she never knew and the hurt in her fathers heart. She reached her good arm to touch his with tenderness as he smiled a sad smile.
"Well, you'd better get some rest, you'll be very busy in the morning" Jack was trying to lighten the mood "Oh and I haven't told anybody yet, about you and me, Dr. Fraiser is the only one who knows"
"And Daniel?"
"No, not yet" Jack said in a whisper as he smiled at her "I thought you had the right to know first" he climbed back to his bed
"Why are you here?" she asked pointing to the bed
"Slight concussion, don't worry about it, I'm fine" he smiled again as she settled back into her bed and closed her eyes.
As Jack predicted the morning was full of 'action'. Daniel woke at around 5:30 and went to take a shower and shave, then he stopped at the commissary for a light breakfast and some much needed coffee, when he came back to the infirmary it was 08:00 and he saw Janet standing by Chey's bed, as he neared he couldn't help the broad smile that spread to his lips lighting his whole face.
Cheyenne was sitting in her bed, talking to Janet, the oxygen tube was removed and she looked much better though still a little pale.
As she saw Daniel approaching she too smiled and her eyes lit up, Daniel neared and not caring Janet was standing right there wrapped his arms around her and lightly kissed her lips, Janet couldn't help but smile as she saw them, at that moment her runaway patient arrived at the infirmary. Even before Daniel woke up Jack slipped out of the infirmary and went as well to take a shower and get clean cloths. He came in as the two young people kissed and smiled. As Cheyenne saw him she withdrew from Daniel and blushed red. Daniel turned to look into Jack's eyes and smiled
"Good morning Jack how are you feeling today?"
"Much better, Daniel Thanks and you?"
"I'm great, I wanted to introduce you, this is Cheyenne, Cheyenne, this is Jack O'Neill" The two looked at each other and smiled a knowing grin on their faces, causing Daniel to be very baffled.
"We know each other" Jack said
"How, when?" Daniel questioned,
"Last night" Chey explained "I woke up late last night and da. Jack and I talked for a while" Jack smiled at the almost slip up she had and was very flattered that she already had strong feelings toward him enough to refer to him as her father.
Daniel nodded accepting her explanation as Jack added.
"Daniel, there is something you need to know, about Cheyenne and myself"
"What?" Daniel was concerned and they could hear it in his voice as he looked into Jack's eyes and waited.
"Cheyenne's my daughter" His voice was soft as he said the words.
"What?" he thought they where playing a joke when he saw Chey nodding her head and a gentle smile danced on her lips
"It's true Daniel, Janet took some blood for testing, Chey is my and Sarah's daughter" as the words sank into the depth of his mind and he set down on the chair for fear his legs would not hold him Jack told him the reason for everything that happened.
"Now all we need to find out is who kidnapped Chey and what was their reason". Jack said in a low tone, Daniel simply nodded as he took hold of Chey's hand and looked for a response on Jack's face, the response was one he didn't quite expect, Jack smiled at them
"Jack you once said if you had a daughter you would kill me before letting me go out with her." he trailed off as they both remembered that planet where the young women in the tribe kind of adopted Jack as a father, when Daniel was viciously flirting with one of the girls.
"Daniel you are one of my closest friends, we work together and I know you better then I knew my ex-wife, you are a good man, and besides Chey is a grown woman, I can't just walk into her life 23 years later and start making changes in an organized independent woman"
Chey smiled, as did Daniel for that very honest and sincere speech, they left it at that.
"So now what?" Daniel asked
"Chey will stay here for a while, till we get this whole thing straitened out" Jack responded "now Chey we are going to pick up some things at Daniel's place, is there anything you want us to bring from your dorm?"
"Just some cloths and personal items I ." she blushed as she continued "I think they're at Daniel's".
"You'd still better be good to her, or you'll have me to deal with" Jack was telling Daniel as the elevator doors to Daniel's apartment opened and they walked down the corridor, Daniel unlocked his door and stepped inside, Jack was right behind him. Suddenly Daniel heard a loud thump he turned to see what it was and was met by a hard object smashing into the side of his head, he fell unconscious to the floor.
