========================================
Antiphony of the Heart-Part 3
=============================================================
An Antiphony of the heart is nothing more, or anything less than an
echo of the soul, reflected back with ten times as much love and
warmth as it was given with...
=============================================================
She'd only been there for a day, but still, it kinda seemed like home.
Everyone knew who she was, and she'd started to make quite good friends
with Teal'c of all people. Despite that fact he had no sense of humour
what so ever, and couldn't tell her much.
And also despite thier initial conversation.
"So."
He stared at her. Eyes widening.
"So?"
She stared back him. Eyes wider.
"So do you talk?"
They stared at one another.
"Indeed, do you share the same attribute?"
Oh, enough already with the half-wit...
"What? Oh, You think you're smart ass, don'tcha?" She leaned closer
against the hard of the table, her chin resting in her hands which
were perched up by her elbows, accompanied by a sinister grin etched
on her face.
The Jaffa was not amused.
Well maybe a little.
"I would prefer to leave that to Colonel O'Neill."
He pushed himself away from the table in defeat, leaving his to scratch
the hardboard edge of the table.
"Yea, well. He doesn't exactly look thrilled by me being here."
He sensed the edge in her voice. Laced with distinct dry humour,
underlying what she wanted to say the most. He knew but one member of the
Tau'ri who shared the same trait.
"I do not believe he has fully considered the ramifications of your
being with us."
"Yea, well since they don't wanna be around me, I've got to find
something to do. Any suggestions??"
When bored, never, I repeat never ask a Jaffa, that question.
NEVER...
=============================================================
When you have future children, you MUST acknowledge them, if only to
get a head start at what creeps there gonna turn out to be...
=============================================================
About an hour later, the world had been liquidized.
All that remained?
Was Ice cream.
The two of them had taken up refuge in the corner of the commissary,
and taken with them four pots of ice cream, and three spoons.
"Geeze, this stuff is good! They don't have this back home."
"Indeed." Was all Teal'c could manage through mouthfuls upon mouthfuls
of Ben and Jerry's, much to the Jaffa's delight.
"So, what are they like?"
"I do not know who you are referring to?" he looked blankly towards the
girl sat opposite him.
"Jack, and Sam. What are they like together?" She continued to stare at
the half empty pot in her hands, which she dangled inanely in front of
her face.
"I cannot divulge that information."
"Okay.......then, what are they like?"
"O'Neill is a good friend. As is Major Carter. They are both loyal, and
fight for what they believe in. They are both true Warriors."
"That's it? That's all ya got?" he raised his eyebrow in response to
her dry 'O'Neill' tainted question.
"What exactly do you wish to know?"
Silence.
"Does her love her?" Her voice became quietly serious, as if
contemplative.
The pivotal question.
Wouldn't you want to know if your parents loved each other?
"Of that Ameridian, I am unsure."
"Why?"
"They have never directly made each other aware of the fact, other than
one time."
"Ooh. what happened?" She suddenly found him much more interesting, and
leaned in to hear his answer.
"Due to an incident involving a Za'tarc detector, both O'Neill and Major
Carter had to prove that were not Za'tarcs, by declaring their
feelings for each other."
She sat back in defeat, placing her empty pot and spoons in front of
her.
Whether it was the Ice cream or the much needed answer to a life-long
question, she wasn't sure.
"Oh, mi god."
"What is a matter?"
"I think I'm gonna gag..." And then there was a sudden need for the
bathroom.
=============================================================
More problems to no solutions...
=============================================================
Meanwhile an Ice cream race was going on, The Tok'ra had returned the
message that Sg-1 had sent them.
So their job was for Jack, Sam and Jonas to meet them.
The question was, Where?
Sand.
And lots of it.
"These sandy planets they just keep gettin' better,"
Sam smiled towards her CO, as he playfully tried to shake the sand
out of his boot and keep upright at the same time. He glared into the
Sun painfully. God, it was hot.
"I think that we're nearly there, Sir. Jonas! You picking up anything?"
"Uh, no. Not yet. It might take a while though. This damn detector's
been outta whack since this morning."
The Colonel noticed Jonas' flippancy, and decided to use it to his
amusement.
"Out whack?" Came another monotone sarcasm, causing Jonas to
frown at him.
But it was ignored.
"Wait, I've got something." Carter came to stand near a really huge
pile of sand, amidst the other mounds.
This one seemed to look a bit odd. Well about as odd as sand can get.
placing the eat reading sensor to one side, she calmly bent down,
placing her hand on what looked like a tiny rock. She pressed the
worn button with her finger. Nothing it seemed.
Wait a minute....?
"Ohh...." Was all that could be heard, as Carter disassembled via the
five transportation rings.
"Carter??" he suddenly realised that she'd found what they had been
looking for.
"Come on Jonas, let's go."
=============================================================
I was told yesterday, that hair loss is hereditary. Does that count for
women???
=============================================================
The Three stood in what looked like a large banquet hall, very dark and
yet simply tranquil in it's decor.
"So? We wait here?" The Colonel's usual impatience was keeping both Sam
and Jonas very much on their toes.
"I guess so."
"Ah, Colonel and Major Carter and Jonas Quinn."
The two of them turned to see a usual figure walk towards them.
One waved. And then smiled.
"Malek! How nice of you get here so quickly!" Jack sideways glanced at
Carter with more than a hint of Sarcasm.
"Uh, did you the message?" Sam tried to let thing run smooth, noting
the friction caused between Jack and The Tok'ra.
"I did Major Carter, however it best that you sit, please,"
"Where's Dad?"
-------------------------
STUBBORN REPURCUSHIONS
-------------------------
"You mean there's nothing you can do?" Sam was practically fuming at this
point. The Tok'ra had just disallowed them technology which they
needed to Ameridian back to her time.
"I am sorry Major Carter, you know that under normal circumstances we
wouldn't normally hesitate to aid your in you predicament, however the
technology needed to do predict a solar flare is not with us, and
currently under heavy guard. Our last tok'ra operative was shot less
than a few days ago, and we have no available resources to rebuild the
necessary devices."
"Look, where's my dad? Can't we speak to him?"
"I'm sorry, Selmak and Jacob Carter are on an undercover mission."
Just as well thought Jack, if Jacob knew about there future
'love child' then he'd be in some serious doodoo right now...
Scratching his head, Jonas finally chose to intervene.
"Look we just need help with this okay? Do you have any other
options for us?"
"I am afraid that we are in need of help also."
Jack was getting tired of the tok'ra. Not a surprise. Damn Malek
doesn't care if we can't fix the problem.......
"Yea, well we're trying to sort out our own problems." A stiffly
venomous smirk came from his mouth as he stood from his seat next to
Carter. "Thanks anyway," came the sarcastic reply.
"Sir?" Sam hesitated for a moment
"Carter, Jonas, we're leaving."
"What?"
"Jonas, we're gonna get where here."
"So we're just going to leave?"
"Yes, Jonas."
"FINE."
=======================================================
No other alternatives?......................Oh boy.....
=======================================================
The wormhole disengaged behind the three of them, who
stood awaiting the general to meet them at the bottom of the ramp.
"So Sg-1?"
There was no particular obviousness about the tensions going on in sg-1,
yet they had seemed even more so recently.
Especially The Colonel and Major Carter.
"Nothing Sir, the Tok'ra doesn't seem to wanna play today."
"Major?" The general turned to Sam, who was busy staring at a young
girl in the control room, playing with teal'c of all people.
"Oh! Sorry Sir. We found absolutely no help, Malek spoke to us and
said basically that due to their precarious situation at the moment,
that they couldn't the retrieve the technology from an unnamed Goa'ould
Stronghold. And there's nothing else we can do."
"Okay sg-1, your free for down time for the weekend, I've got a few
out of town meetings to attend to. But I'm going to schedule a meeting,
at 13:00 on Monday to discuss this 'issue'."
The rest nodded, accept for Carter, who seemed adamant about something.
"Uh, sir?"
Se turned towards him with a light frown on her face.
"Yes Major?"
"Can I speak to you in your office for just a moment?"
"I've got to leave in half an hour, so if you catch me beforehand?"
"Of course Sir, Thank you."
Jack was beginning to get a little worried abbot her,
Carter only ever went to Hammond's office, when there was a major issue
going on?
"What's going on?" He tried to find the problem in her eyes.
She lightly touched his arm.
"Nothing. I'm fine."
He hoped she meant it.......
=============================================================
Confusion and wanting to know her....
=============================================================
Knock
"Come in." Came the General's voice ran loud in her ears.
Was it just the tension, or did she have a headache?
"Sit down Major. So what's the problem?"
"It's not really a problem, Sir."
"Carry on."
"Well, you have requested us some down time. Now, I don't usually
take any of my down time. However, considering the current
circumstances of not being able to get Amerdian home, I don't think
that it would be humanly kind to leave a young teenage girl on base.
I mean, she came to see her parents and I haven't even talked to her
yet. Properly.
And if we definitely cannot get her home, then I would like to start
Thinking about some permanent living arrangements. For her sake."
He sighed. She'd obviously thought about this some. It pained to see
Someone who he thought of as one of his 'daughters' go through the
turmoil that both her and Jack had been through over the last few
years.
But there wasn't anything he could do. The rules cannot be broken.
"Firstly, off the record Sam,"
"Thank you." A warm smile at last.
"Not all of our avenues are dry, there are things that we can do."
"I know but we can't leave her here. What about Cassandra?"
"This runs a little deeper, doesn't it Sam."
"Look sir, I couldn't adopt Cassie. And that's fine because she has
Janet, and I'm Off-world. But wouldn't it be better for a girl who
never met her parents, to stay with one of them, if she can't get home?
What would be so wrong about that?"
"Understand you reasoning, Sam. I really do. But you seem to forget,
who the parents are."
"Sir, Ameridian, is not an illegitimate child. We didn't break the
rules, Sir. Good I'm surprised that we were so restrained to long,"
The General could see just how tense Sam was about this. Her brow was
now completely furrowed, her eyes were light and wearing.
She wasn't dealing.
"How are you and Jack?"
The question.
"He's avoiding all knowledge that he even has a child of his walking
around base. I guess he's just trying to deal."
"Sam? How are you two?"
The truth.
"Not together, if that's what you mean."
"Good."
"Oh, you're not in my shoes."
And he wouldn't dream of wanting to be.
He suddenly felt a raw and distinct pang of empathy, not admiration
for the both of them.
His thought was solidified by the evidence that they waited.
And held to their oath. And never disobeyed the ranks.
"So, what are you proposing, Major?"
"Could you let me take Ameridian home, for two Days? Just to get know
her until the meeting on Monday."
Simple enough request.
He couldn't argue with that.
"Permission requested, Major. But don't anyone you don't trust."
"Thank you Sir,"
"Go on, get out of here, I have a meeting to get to," He smiled warmly.
Getting what she'd came here for, she stood up and mock-saluted him
with a smile.
"YES SIR!"
==============================================
Mad about the Girl........lriG eht tuoba daM
==============================================
The only problem now, was trying to find HER.
Where the hell was she?
the last time she'd seen her was with Teal'c.
And in Talking to Jonas, she had an idea that she'd grown quite
attached to the Jaffa.
I mean, who wouldn't, he's just so sweet.
First stop, the changing room. She had to pick up her stuff anyway.
Turning the corner into the changing room, she bumped into an
unwilling occupant.
"Sir!" She gasped, trying not to show that she'd just taken a wind,
a harsh cold breath resonated in her lungs.
"Sorry Carter," he winced, bending down to help her, as she doubled
her self, clutching her ribs, trying to take in a semi-normal breath.
He immediately grabbed her a shoulder, and held her back, whilst she
stood coughing.
"She looked up suddenly aware that he was just wearing a towel.
A towel, which was slipping, ever so slowly to the floor.
"Whoa!" She grab the towel just in time to save them from a very
embarrassing situation.
"Oh shit!" he quickly folded the rest of the thin towel around himself,
hoping to go, that she didn't see anything.
Judging by the look on her face, she was trying to erase all knowledge.
"Look sir, I-"
"Carter, I'm so-" They managed to say at once,
"I'm taking Amerdian home for a day until the meeting."
"Wait, what?" he suddenly acknowledged what she said, "Carter you can't."
"I can, it's done, I cleared it with Hammond."
"But she's going to be security risk."
"Look, if we can't get her back, then one of us is going to look after
her. Now seen as you have opted to avoid her, then I guess, I'll have
to do."
"What? Carter, that's a load of crap!!! And you know it!"
"Really Jack? Because it's funny how I haven't seen her with you.
However, I'm going now to talk to her!"
How could he be this cowardly???
"Why?"
"Because she's never met her mother, and if you weren't behaving like a
child, then you'd do the same."
"What? Be her mother?"
"Don't be an ass Jack, go talk to her."
====================================================
......................what? you expect a caption...?
====================================================
"Ameridian? Oh Teal'c! Hi."
Sam greeted her friend with a warm smile, walking towards his seat at
their usual commissary table,
"Good afternoon Major Carter."
"Have you seen Amerdian?"
"She has just left for the bathroom."
"Oh, right, okay. Bye."
She turned on her heal, momentarily.
"Oh, Teal'c, I'm having a get together, just, Sg-1, Janet and Cassie,
and seen as you're part of sg-1-"
"I would not miss it for the world, Major Carter."
She knew that he meant it, too.
"It's at 1 o'clock. Don't be late."
===============================
Humans are strange......
===============================
Sam turned the corner of the lady's bathroom, to find a young girl
reapplying her make-up for the sixteenth time, since she'd arrived.
"Hi."
She met her at the mirror, very inconspicuously.
The girl resumed half of her attention to her eyeliner.
"Hi." Came the reply.
"Look, I know that I haven't been very talkative to you, at all for
that matter, but it's just-"
"You and Colonel O'Neill aren't together, and I remind you of the
one thing that you can't have. I know."
Sam stood open mouthed. For a young girl she was damn smart.
I didn't take a second to think of how she inherited that from.
"Okay, well I want to make it up to you."
She finally had Amerdian's attention.
"Sure?"
"How would you like to come off-world for a few days."
"Where are we going?"
"First, my house, then anywhere you like."
"Okay."
The first smile between them.
Looked exactly the same.
==============================================
Alternative choices.........are the best ones
==============================================
Likey? Ney Likey?
feeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeed me
Feeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeed me,
One part to go!!!!!!!!
This is longest fic I've ever written.
Yay!

"How are you and Jack?"
The question.
"He's avoiding all knowledge that he even has a child of his walking
around base. I guess he's just trying to deal."
"Sam? How are you two?"
The truth.
"Not together, if that's what you mean."
"Good."
"Oh, you're not in my shoes."
And he wouldn't dream of wanting to be.
He suddenly felt a raw and distinct pang of empathy, not admiration
for the both of them.
His thought was solidified by the evidence that they waited.
And held to their oath. And never disobeyed the ranks.
"So, what are you proposing, Major?"
"Could you let me take Ameridian home, for two Days? Just to get know
her until the meeting on Monday."
Simple enough request.
He couldn't argue with that.
"Permission requested, Major. But don't anyone you don't trust."
"Thank you Sir,"
"Go on, get out of here, I have a meeting to get to," He smiled warmly.
Getting what she'd came here for, she stood up and mock-saluted him
with a smile.
"YES SIR!"
==============================================
Mad about the Girl........lriG eht tuoba daM
==============================================
The only problem now, was trying to find HER.
Where the hell was she?
the last time she'd seen her was with Teal'c.
And in Talking to Jonas, she had an idea that she'd grown quite
attached to the Jaffa.
I mean, who wouldn't, he's just so sweet.
First stop, the changing room. She had to pick up her stuff anyway.
Turning the corner into the changing room, she bumped into an
unwilling occupant.
"Sir!" She gasped, trying not to show that she'd just taken a wind,
a harsh cold breath resonated in her lungs.
"Sorry Carter," he winced, bending down to help her, as she doubled
her self, clutching her ribs, trying to take in a semi-normal breath.
He immediately grabbed her a shoulder, and held her back, whilst she
stood coughing.
"She looked up suddenly aware that he was just wearing a towel.
A towel, which was slipping, ever so slowly to the floor.
"Whoa!" She grab the towel just in time to save them from a very
embarrassing situation.
"Oh shit!" he quickly folded the rest of the thin towel around himself,
hoping to go, that she didn't see anything.
Judging by the look on her face, she was trying to erase all knowledge.
"Look sir, I-"
"Carter, I'm so-" They managed to say at once,
"I'm taking Amerdian home for a day until the meeting."
"Wait, what?" he suddenly acknowledged what she said, "Carter you can't."
"I can, it's done, I cleared it with Hammond."
"But she's going to be security risk."
"Look, if we can't get her back, then one of us is going to look after
her. Now seen as you have opted to avoid her, then I guess, I'll have
to do."
"What? Carter, that's a load of crap!!! And you know it!"
"Really Jack? Because it's funny how I haven't seen her with you.
However, I'm going now to talk to her!"
How could he be this cowardly???
"Why?"
"Because she's never met her mother, and if you weren't behaving like a
child, then you'd do the same."
"What? Be her mother?"
"Don't be an ass Jack, go talk to her."
====================================================
......................what? you expect a caption...?
====================================================
"Ameridian? Oh Teal'c! Hi."
Sam greeted her friend with a warm smile, walking towards his seat at
their usual commissary table,
"Good afternoon Major Carter."
"Have you seen Amerdian?"
"She has just left for the bathroom."
"Oh, right, okay. Bye."
She turned on her heal, momentarily.
"Oh, Teal'c, I'm having a get together, just, Sg-1, Janet and Cassie,
and seen as you're part of sg-1-"
"I would not miss it for the world, Major Carter."
She knew that he meant it, too.
"It's at 1 o'clock. Don't be late."
===============================
Humans are strange......
===============================
Sam turned the corner of the lady's bathroom, to find a young girl
reapplying her make-up for the sixteenth time, since she'd arrived.
"Hi."
She met her at the mirror, very inconspicuously.
The girl resumed half of her attention to her eyeliner.
"Hi." Came the reply.
"Look, I know that I haven't been very talkative to you, at all for
that matter, but it's just-"
"You and Colonel O'Neill aren't together, and I remind you of the
one thing that you can't have. I know."
Sam stood open mouthed. For a young girl she was damn smart.
I didn't take a second to think of how she inherited that from.
"Okay, well I want to make it up to you."
She finally had Amerdian's attention.
"Sure?"
"How would you like to come off-world for a few days."
"Where are we going?"
"First, my house, then anywhere you like."
"Okay."
The first smile between them.
Looked exactly the same.

Alternative choices.........are the best ones
