"Jack!"
"Doctor" Jack greeted Janet in the hall. She picked up her pace a little to reach him.
"This is for Sam" she said, handing him a set of files, "She called and asked for them last night. Getting a little bored is she?"
"A little" Jack replied, wincing slightly at the memory of the mornings rendition of what he and Cass had taken to calling "Mom's Rant". Mentally of course.
"Well, tell her I'd like her to come in for a check up next week" Janet replied with a sympathetic smile, "Get her out of the house for a little while at least"
"Will do" Jack said, thinking she just migh not leave again if she came in, but then, he didn't want her going to any civilian doctor. Too much had happened to her body in the SGC program for him to be comfortable with that.
"How's Cass doing?" Janet asked. She insisted that the girl come in for ritual check ups, which probably wasn't a bad idea. After all, she had been through a lot, just in the year she'd been here.
"Fine" he answered, "I think." he amended, "She spends a lot of time at Daniel's after dinner"
"Mmmm...Cassie said that. She also said" Janet paused dramatically, "that she's been talking about Gray'ag quite a bit" Jack frowned a bit. Sam had told him about her conversation with Daniel a week ago. He didn't reply.
"Well, anyway. We'll see you tonight?" Jack nodded and the Doctor headed back to the infirmary. Jack tucked the files for his wife under his arm and headed on to the breifing room. SG-1 was still on their "baby-sitting" mission, training with the recruits and preparing for their final test. They were working on incorporating Cass into thier plan, but General Hammond thought that due to her current assignment she should be left out.
Daniel and Teal'c were waiting for him in the briefing room, geared up for field work.
"Ready?" Jack asked and they both nodded. They were just waiting for the General for their morning briefing. He walked in a side door, Cass trailing behind him.
"They need some interaction!" she was saying, "It's the perfect setting. Casual and social, but there won't be the danger of them jepordizing the SGC."
"All right, Doctor" Hammond answered, "But any furhter 'socialization' will have to be approved."
"Thank you sir!" Cass said happily and bounced out of the room, throwing Daniel and Jack mental "kisses".
"What was that all about?" Jack asked, taking his seat.
"Dr. O'Neill wanted permission to take the Tok'ra to her birthday party tonight" the General Hammond answered.
"Ah" Daniel gave Jack a look, but didn't say anything.
Jack got another look, this time from Sam, later that night as Cass came pounding down the stairs. She hadn't gone as far as to wear a dress, but she had traded her usual t-shirt and jeans for black pants and a top she'd borrowed from Cassie.
"Do I look okay?" she asked, and Sam noticed a thin line of purple above her eyelashes.
"Yeah" Sam answered, not sure if she should be glad her daughter was taking an interest in her clothes, or worried because of it.
"You look great" The door bell rang before Jack could comment. Teal'c was there to open the door and a second later Cass was giving hugs out to Janet and Cassie and Daniel.
"Happy birthday, Cass" Daniel said, handing her a gift bag.
"Thanks Uncle Danny" she replied and all of the gifts disappeared onto a table in the dining room. General Hammond, the Tok'ra and other various friends from the SGC showed up.
"Happy birthday, Doctor" Hammond greeted her formally. The General Cass had grown up with had rarely called her by her formal title, but that was because he had called her Cassi ever since she was born. That man had considered Cassi one of his own grandchildren more than someone working under him. One thing that was the same, however, was his business attitude. Even now he was the only on that called her 'doctor' and he probably always would, but Cass didn't mind. It was just the way he was.
"Thank you, General" she replied brightly and ushered everyone to the dining room. Jack was cooking on the grille, the only way he could, and Sam and Janet were putting a table cloth on one of the card tables they'd borrowed from the Bardenoff's. Cass suddenly felt like she was on a post card or something. The Tok'ra were standing in a corner, watching everybody.
"You were right" Cass felt her friend come up behind her, "He is cute" Cass smiled at Cassie and rolled her eyes.
"I think the blonde is cuter thought" she added.
Oh puh-lease Cass laughed in her head so none of the adults would hear her, He's way too old for you!
"I'm almost as old as you!" Cassie objected
And going on 17 Cass told her and Cassie caught on to what she meant.
"It's not my fault I had a normal childhood" Cass raised an eyebrow.
"Well, almost normal" Cassie amended. Cass just laughed.
"Come on, I'll introduce you" she grabbed her friend's hand and drug her along.
Besides, I'm going to need you for the rest of their training. Cassie gave her a funny look but didn't comment.
"Hey, guys" Cass greeted the three. They looked at her oddly for a moment.
"Another form of hello" she explained.
"You have so many greetings!" the woman groaned. Cassie stiffled a laugh.
"They sound like Teal'c!" Cass frowned.
"I'm working on it. Lor, Batai, Greg, this is my friend Cassie. She's Dr. Fraiser's daughter."
"WE are pleased to meet you!" Batai replied and stretched his hand out. Cass grabbed it and squeezed.
"Sup? So you guys are Tok'ra huh?" Batai inclined his head.
"This your first party?"
"Yes" Gray'ag answered, "I have a question, Cassi"
There's a huge surprise! the girl quipped sarcasticlly to her friend. "You said this party is a celebration of your birth, yet despite everybody's greeting to you, I have heard nothing about your birth"
"What do you mean?" Cassie asked.
"I think what Gray'ag means is why does no one tell the tale of your birth?" Lor'ta explained.
"I don't think anything worth telling happened when I was born. It was just a normal birth" Cass relied.
"What's a normal human birth?" Batai asked.
"Uh, I think maybe you should answer that later, Cass" Cassie interrupted.
"Look guys, this is a party. You talk about trivial matters at a party. Part of the reason for a party is for people to get away from work" Cass told them, pulling them out of their corner a bit.
"We'll watch Sixteen Candles tomorrow. Maybe you'll understand better then. For now, go talk to people!" She gave them all a mental push, quite surprising them. They bravely marched off to embaress themselves, except for that they wouldn't really get embaressed.
"You were right" Cassie told her friend, "You do have your work cut our for you" Cass smiled at her own joke.
"No kidding!"
