I do not own Stargate SG-1 or Buffy the Vampire Slayer….well duh!
Blue lightening crackled and the gate opened, two figures walking out into the gate room.
"Mom? Dad?" the young woman stood in shock and so did the blonde man beside her. The girl ran and threw herself into Jack's arms. "Oh Daddy, I've missed you!" Jack looked at Buffy in disbelief but Buffy was looking at the man. "Spike?"
Spike looked at the very pregnant Buffy, "Hello Pet. Fancy meeting you here." Buffy suddenly collapsed onto the floor and Spike dashed over to catch her so quickly that the human eye almost didn't follow.
"Dad?" the young woman looked at Jack and he smiled weakly, "Um, do I know you?" and she shook her head. "Spike, I think we missed a stop somewhere." She looked over at Buffy, "Mom? You're pregnant again?" and she knelt beside the unconscious Buffy.
Buffy's eyes snapped open, "Did you call me Mom?" and Spike helped her stand up. He looked at the girl, "Bess, I think we are in a different time zone luv. Not to mention a different reality."
"Bess?" Buffy smiled and touched the girls face gently. Spike smiled, "Buffy, this is your daughter Bess. Bess, this is your Mum." Buffy gingerly hugged the young woman, then leaned back, "How old are you?" Spike looked between them, "Bloody buggerin' hell. You both look the same age!" His voice astonished.
"I'm 22." Bess tilted her head, "Why?"
Buff giggled, "I'm only 25." Jack handed off his weapon to Teal'c and clapped his hands for attention, 'Guess what I'm going to say kids?" Buffy rolled her eyes and Bess groaned, "Daaad!"
The General smiled, "Conference room people." And everyone headed for the doors.
In the conference room Buffy was rubbing her aching back and wiggled uncomfortably. She sat in the chair and sighed, she looked at the blond woman beside Jack and smiled a little, then sighed again. Spike noticed and looked at her sharply. "You ok pet?" and Buffy shook her head, "Not exactly."
Bess looked at General Hammond who nodded, "Um, I'm Bess O'Neill. I'm one of their kids." And Jack sat up in shock, "Kids? With an s?" Bess tilted her head, her short blonde hair falling into her eyes. "Well, yeah. You have.." and Spike stood, "Let's just say that Bess is not the oldest and leave it at that."
Buffy laughed, "Oh God, and this is only my first." Bess's face was shining, "You mean I'm older than J.D.? Boy I can't wait to lord it over him!" she laughed delightedly.
"Let me guess, Jonathon Daniel O'Neill?" Sam asked and Bess' nodded. Daniel looked at Buffy, "Jonathon Daniel?" He asked quietly and she nodded, "I hadn't exactly told Jack yet, but yeah." Daniel shook his head, "I'm honored." He said.
Buffy smiled lovingly at Jack and he smiled back. "Two kids, I wish Charlie knew." He said quietly but with such emotion in his voice.
General Hammond spoke, "Back to the topic at hand. Why are you here?" Bess and Spike looked at each other, then Spike shrugged his shoulders. "I'm not sure. We were going to visit Dr. Jackson and J.D. at the alpha site. In our world Buffy and Jack are, well, gone." He said quietly. Bess wiped her eyes and Jack handed her his handkerchief.
"Gone?" General Hammond asked and Spike nodded, "They went on a mission and disappeared, 6 years ago." Bess blew her nose and nodded, "Spike, Sam, Daniel and I are raising the rest of the.." Spike held up a hand, "Let's just say 'children'."
Buffy sat back in shock, "Boy, when I have kids I don't do it halfway do I?" There were chuckles around the table when suddenly Buffy gasped, "My water just broke." Jack stood and panicked, "We've got to go see Janet." Uncontrolled chaos ruled as Bess went over to her mother, "Momma, can you walk?" Buffy nodded and Bess helped her up and suddenly Jack was beside her and swung her up, "We're going to have a baby today! Let's go find Janet!" He smiled and took her to the infirmary.
It was 8 miserable hours (for Buffy) later when Janet held up Jack and Buffy's son, "Everyone! Meet Jonathon Daniel O'Neill." She showed Jack how to cut the cord and she laid the baby on Buffy's chest.
"Hey sunshine, I'm your momma." Buffy whispered, transfixed by the steady staring of the blue eyed baby. Jack had a huge smile on his face as he watched his family together. Suddenly he turned to the nurse, "Can you bring Bess in?" she nodded and Bess came in and her eyes went wide. "Wow! You'd never know a guy with such a big mouth started out so small!" She went over and peered at the baby and Jack laid his arm around her shoulders. Buffy's eyes filled with tears and she touched her daughters' hand, "I can't wait to see you this small." And Bess laughed, bending over to kiss her long lost mother's cheek.
It was late evening and Janet was bending over the bassinet and cooing at J.D. He was one of the most beautiful babies she had seen in a long time. 'Of course look what kind of genes the kid had to work with.' Janet thought with a smile. She heard a noise and watched Daniel sneak in with a grin.
"How's he doing?" Daniel asked, looking at the tiny baby who bore his name. Janet smiled and stood beside him, "He's a perfect ten. Healthy, happy and well loved." They both swiveled at another sound behind them and watched in amusement as Sam and General Hammond snuck in to look at the baby. The four of them were admiring the baby when the curtain was switched open and Buffy stood there, hands on her hips.
"It's nice to see everyone. I have the feed J.D. now." She walked over and picked up the quiet baby who immediately began to fuss as he felt his mother and supper near. "Say goodbye to the nice people J.D." and she waved at her friends before going back behind the curtain.
Buffy looked at Jack in amusement, "J.D. had a crowd out there." Jack smiled and helped her back into bed and watched as she fed their son. His eyes glowed as he stroked his son's fair head, already soft with blond curls. Buffy smiled at him and he bent down to kiss her. "Thank you." He whispered and she nodded, and settled back against the pillow and closed her eyes as the baby suckled. "No problemo, but no more for awhile." And he laughed softly.
