A/N: Sorry this is short, next part will be longer.

* Means Thoughts

**********

His heart sunk when he looked into her sad, tired blue eyes, a look of complete shock swept over her face as her eyes had set upon him. Maybe this wasn't such a good idea.

"Carter, are you okay?" He asked, in concern.

"Colonel!" She felt the heat starting to warm her cheeks.

"Sam, who is it?" Another voice broke in.

Sam wasn't sure what to do. She really didn't want to have to face this now. She couldn't even voice her response.

"Umm sorry Carter, I didn't know you had company...I can uh just.."

"Oh its you, Jack" Jacob came up behind Sam who was still holding on to the door.

"Hey Jacob, I didn't know you were back" Jack couldn't help but get an uncomfortable feeling after hearing Jacob's greeting of sorts.

"Yes, I am back for a few days.well Sam, aren't you going to invite him in?" he replied, while watching his daughter looking uncomfortable as she set open the door wider.

"No Jacob, its okay I will leave you guys to catch up" he went to turn leave but Jacob grabbed his arm gently.

"Now c'mon Jack, you didn't come all this way because you were in the neighbourhood" giving Jack a half smile.

*Woah, not good* was all that went thorough Jack's head.

"Sam, I want you to sit down and talk to Jack" Jacob said, in a hushed tone in the kitchen while making coffee.

"I can't do this Dad" she whispered back, while focusing on the cream coloured door that led to one Jack O'Neill sitting on her couch.

"Sure you can, sweetheart" he kissed her cheek. "I am going over to George's now" Seeing his daughter's panicked look he added, "don't worry, I am not going to say anything, this is so you two can talk in peace"

"Well I am going to say goodbye to Jack, you can finish making the coffee. I will ring you later, okay?"

Leaning back on the bench she gave her father a weak smile and nodded.

"You have to face this sometime Sam, better you face this now, than tackling it at work"

She blew out a breath after her father had gone. *He is right. Great..this is going to be a long afternoon* she thought.

TBC. In part 5!

Facing Jack, Sam can't hide anymore.
