"Speaking of these..."
"Bar'ak'tu"
"Right. How do we know they won't come looking for you?" Hammond wanted to know.
"Well, besides the fact that since you've never been to P-3p-2467 so they have no idea that I exist, uh, they gave up on humans. Decided we were too dangerous to be perfect" the young girl answered.
"So, do we cancel our mission to P-3p-2467?" Daniel asked.
"Actually, come to think of it..."Cassi trailed.
"What?" O'Neill asked, still trying to grasp the idea that he had a daughter.
"Well, not only have I jumped dimensions, but I've gone back in time haven't I?"
"What do you mean?" Carter asked.
"Well, you haven't even gone to P-3P-2467 have you. What year is it?"
"2003" Carter answered.
"See. I won't be born for 10 months or so"
"How old are you?" Carter asked.
"Negative 10 months old" Cassi answered with a straight face. It was quickly becoming apparent to everyone that she at least shared Jack's sense of humor.
"Okay, sorry. Ah, 16 years, 2 months, 12 days" she answered.
"You're 16?" Doctor Fraiser piped up.
"I know, I know, I don't look it, but I'm not lying. Born November 23, 2003"
"I just have one more question" Everyone looked to the General.
"How did you get here?" This question seemed to pain Cassi. She breathed deeply and the evidence of fresh tears was gathering in the corners of her eyes.
"Goa'uld attack. Dad.....Dad ordered me through the Star Gate" she replied quietly.
"That doesn't explain how you get HERE"
"Ah, General, maybe tomorrow. She's been through a lot" Carter interrupted. The General studied the girl for a second.
"Fine. I'll want to see you all again at 0600 hours" Everybody got up to leave.
"Uh, sir. Where's she going?" Carter asked. The General stopped and looked back.
"You're her parents. I'll leave that up to you" he answered and left.
"Well Carter. You can have the kid, I'll take the car" Jack said.
"Well, wait, don't you think we should ask Cassi?" Carter objected. Everyone turned to Cassi.
"Ah, well. I don 't know. Uh, I lived with Dad and Uncle Danny and Teal'c before, but Mom wasn't around so......ah..... FOr the first time Cassi really couldn't make up her mind. Should she return to her father, whom she dearly loved and understood, or should she go with the mother she never knew? If she knew her father, and she did, this would be the only chance to convince him that she really was his daughter, and he actually loved her.
"No offense, Mom, but I think for now I'd rather go with Dad" she answered.
"Well, Jack, it looks like you've got a full house" Carter smiled.
"Yeah. I just picked up my joker"
