"I can't find a single thing, Colonel!" Janet told Jack, who had been waiting for the results of the tests she'd run on his twins.
"Well, there's got to be something!" he exclaimed, "You can record stuff when Cass is being all...psychic"
"Yeah, but, Jack, she has to be doing something for us to record. They haven't done anything out of the ordinary since Saturday" Sam told him.
"Well, there's got to be some way to find out if they're....like Cass" he argued.
"We did run some labs on their blood samples" Janet told him, "And the same hormones that are really high in Cassi are slightoly above normal in the twins"
"But that doesn't mean much, right now, Jack" Sam was quick to add. She was much more sedate about this whole thing than he was. It didn't bother her one bit that all three of their children might have abnormal psychic powers. Of course, she didn't have the implanted memories of what Cassi went through as a child either; the secret life with little peer contact and a constant worry about who might find out what she was and what they would do if they did. Not to mention the terror it put Cass through, trying to control something with little to no help from anyone else because, frankly, there was nothing they could do to help. And all those tests........No, Jack wasn't thrilled with the idea that his children would have to grow up like that.
"Of course, the only way to really know is for Cass to check them out" Janet informed him.
"Which we'll have her do as soon as she gets back" Sam assured him, "For now, we just need to keep an eye on them"
"Just tell me...one thing" Jack asked of them, "How did this happen? How can it even be possible?"
"Well, sir, we don't really know what the Bar'ak'Tu did to you while you were prisoners" Janet informed him, "They very possibly could have done something to your genetic code to pass on certain traits"
"If that's true, then they would have programmed us to pass along both telekinesis and telepathy to the same child right?" Sam questioned.
"Probably" Janet agreed.
"Samantha?"
"Listen, my egg split, by some fluke we got two sexes, but we're confident that the egg split"
"Samantha!" Jack didn't care to hear the "birds and the bees"
"No, listen, Jack. Richard hovered, Amanda used telepathy. They might not have both ablitites" Janet considered.
"It's possible" she said.
"Cass'll know" Sam said.
"Cass isn't here" Jack pointed out. Sam could tell he'd thought about her a lot since she'd been gone. When she'd asked him about it, he'd said something about being a POW, and having a bad feeling about her mission.
"I think we'll be okay until she get's back, Jack" Sam smiled at him as if he were an over protective parent. Well, maybe he was.
"Fine, all right!" he said, "Where are they now?"
"With Daniel" his wife answered.
"You left them with Daniel?" he repeated and went in search of his friend. He found him in one of the "bed rooms", the one Teal'c used to occupy. The twins were asleep in their carriers.
"That's a small miracle" Jack said quietly as he entered. Daniel looked up and back at the kids.
"Yeah, tell me about it" Daniel replied, "They agreed on something for a change" Jack took a seat next to his friend at the table.
"What did Janet say?" his friend asked.
"Oh.....a whole lotta nothin" Jack answered, "Something about their hormone levels being elevated, but they said that didn't mean anything"
"Well, they didn't do any Cassi-like stuff in here" Daniel told him, "Speaking of which, any word from Cass?"
"Nope. Actually, " Jack checked his watch, "They're probably just getting into Spain now. She should get ahold of use soon. I'll let ya know"
"What do you think it is this Sloan guy has?"
"Don't know. If it's anything Goa'uld, Teal'c will know. It it's anything else, Cass'll know what to do" Jack answered his friend, but Daniel could tell he was still worried. Jack had, not changed, but revealed more of the sensitive side that Daniel had always known was there. Oh, he was hard as ever, and maybe Daniel was just getting to know him better, but he thought he saw what Jack must've been like before Charlie died.
"I'm sure they're fine, Jack" he assured his friend. Jack nodded.
"Yeah"
