AN: When Cassi and Cassie communicate, Cassi does so in emotions, so I've translated them more directly for you. Hope you understand.
The MRI's and catscans were confusing. It was as if someone else's brian entirely had been scanned.
"I don't understand it" Janet told Hammond, "Her frontal cortex is in heightened activity, hormone levels are off the chart. It's almost as if I'm looking at Cassi's scans and not Cassie's."
"I assume you're referring to Dr. O'Neill" Hammond said.
"Yes, sir. I don't know how to explain it!"
"Your daughter was screaming as if she were Dr. O'Neill. Is there any possiblility some part of the Colonel's Cassi was transfered to yours?" the General asked.
"I don't see how since Cassi...Dr. O'Neill died off planet, but I don't profess to know everything about telepaths either."
"Janet" Sam said from the other end of the infirmary, "She's waking up"
"Mom?"
"I'm here" Janet answered, "How do you feel?"
"Strange" Fray replied, "What happened?"
"We were hoping you could tell us that" the General said.
"I don't know" Fray answered slowly, "We were at the funeral....oh my gosh!" She sat straight up in bed, "Cassi's not dead! Or rather, she is, but she's not gone!"
" 'Or rather?' That doesn't sound like you Cassie" Janet said.
"Are you telling me, Dr. O'Neill is in your head?" Hammond asked incredulously, "How is that even possible?"
"Cassi says......" Fray stared off for a moment, "She says 'Go'?" She looked up with a confused look on her face.
"She told us all to go just before....just before she died" Sam told them, "Is it possible the mental connection pulled her....whatever.....through the Gate with us?"
"Yes! That's it!" Fray cried.
"Well, what are we going to do?" Sam asked. Nobody said anything. What could they do? They had no body to recesitate, even if they could at this point. They were all thinking how helpless the situation was when Jack walked in.
"What's goin' on guys? Some one told me Cassie was awake"
"Hi, Jack" Fray said meekly.
"Hey, kiddo. How ya doin?" Jack asked with a semblence of a smile. Fray looked at her mother, unsure how to answer.
"Jack," Sam started gently, "Cassi...Cassi is....*in*......Cassie" The Colonel looked at Sam carefully.
"You okay, Carter?"
"What the Major means, Colonel" Hammond interjected, "Is that Cassi O'Neill is in this Cassie's head" Jack just stared at them for a minute, then a stony countenance over took his face.
"What are you guys talking about?" They quickly explained their hypothesis to him. At first he didn't believe them.
"Cassi says 'Don't forget The Dream' " Fray told him. He stared at her. He hadn't told anyone about the dream Cassi had had her first night, the one that had thrown him back into the role of "Daddy". Nobody else understood of course, but they all realized the signifigance.
"We have to go back for her body" he told them and headed for the door.
"Colonel O'Neill!" Hammond called after him, but he was already gone.
*****************************************
It's strange to have you in my head, Cass.
*sadness, guilt, contrition, saddness* I'm sorry.
It's okay. I'm glad you're not dead.
*sadness, regret, humor* I am!
Right. Well, at least you're not gone.
*depression*
What's wrong?
*worry, love fear, confusion, questions*
I'm sorry.
*contrition, humor* So am I.
