"Gate activation. It's Sg-4 sir."
"Open the iris." General Hammond along with the rest of Sg-1 left the control room and headed towards the gate room.
"Sir." Colonel Delgate said as he exited the wormhole followed by the rest of his team and Sg-5, 6 and 8.
"Anything Colonel?"
"I'm sorry sir. No one knows anything about the Colonel sir. I'm sorry sir. We talked to Master Chalin and he said that no one saw Colonel O'Neill leave the building at all during the day or night except for himself and Sg- 1 sir."
"That's it?" Sam asked.
"That's it Major Carter. Oh and there was the little boy and his mother, we looked for them but couldn't find them anywhere sir."
"That's it!" Daniel yelled before running out of the gate room.
"Daniel where are you going?" Sam yelled before running after him.
"Sam that little boy was Jack." Daniel said as he ran into Jack's office.
"Daniel what are you talking about?"
"I found it one day when I was in here with Jack. It was an accident and all Jack said was it was he and his mother. Now where did he put it?" Daniel turned to a bookshelf and started moving books around.
"Daniel this is the Colonel's office I don't think he would like having you go through all of his stuff like this."
Just as Daniel took a book off of the self something fell to the ground. "Yes." Daniel whispered as he bent down to pick it up. "Do they look familiar to you Sam?" Daniel said giving the picture to Sam.
Sam took the picture and looked at it. A little boy was wrapped safely in his mother's arms. She had brown hair that went just below her shoulders. Just like her son's that went just above his ears. They both had brown eyes. The little boy seemed like he was having the time of his life as his smile covered his face just like his mother. "Oh my god Daniel this is them." Sam said pointing to the picture.
"Yeah Sam. I thought they looked familiar but I couldn't remember till just now in the gate room." Daniel said as he stared at the picture in Sam's hands.
"We have to go back to that planet Daniel, and we have to go now." Sam turned away from Daniel and started running for the Generals office.
**************************************************************************** *******************
"Master Chalin!" Daniel smiled at the man as he stepped out of the event horizon and almost ran to him.
"Doctor Jackson, Major Carter, Teal'c it is a pleasure to see you all again, although I must admit we have made no further progress in finding your Colonel, However we are still looking." Master Chalin for the first time in his life looked to the ground as he spoke to Sg-1.
"Master Chalin we came here to obtain information about a female citizen in your community." Teal'c said.
"Do you believe she has had something to do with your Colonels disappearance?"
"Master Chalin do you remember right before you gave us the tour. The women and her little boy?" Sam asked as she started to get the picture from her pocket.
"Yes of course the little boy stood out in a crowd of other children if you were to look. He had brown eye's most peculiar." Master Chalin said as an after thought.
"That's because we believe that the little boy may have been our Colonel." Teal'c added.
"But the little boy addressed the woman as his mother?"
"Yes look we have a picture here of when the Colonel was younger with his mother." Sam said showing the picture to Master Chalin. "You see they look exactly like that little boy and his mother."
"Yes, yes they do indeed." Master Chalin thought for a moment before his eyes went wide in shock.
"What? What is it?" Daniel asked as he saw Master Chalin's expression.
"It may be the Con'o'dato in which we seek."
"What?" Sam asked confused at his sudden change in language.
"It means shape shifter." Daniel said for both Sam, Teal'c sg-2 and Janet.
"Yes a long time ago a woman came to our village through the Stargate." Master Chalin pointed towards the gate just in case they didn't know what he was talking about. "She was unlike the people here, she could change her form and the form of others. Most villagers were afraid of her however one man was not. He died a short time ago but not before leaving her with child, shortly after his death the child inside of her followed. I dare say that she liked your Colonel and changed him to be the little boy that we saw."
"Well we can go and get her. We know what she looks like and we know what the Colonel looks like so let's go." Daniel said.
"She can not have kept that form for long, and when she changed back she would have lost the young boys trust. I'm afraid that in the time we have been searching she has made him younger and restarted his life." Master Chalin once again looked to the ground.
"Well if she can't keep a form for long then he must change back to right?" Sam asked seeing the Masters worried looks.
"I'm afraid what she does to others is permanent, When Killeen was 10 years of age her parents were killed in a fire, she suffered great damage. Con'o'dato changed her back to her infant self. Killeen now once again at 10 years of age has no memory of her other parents or what happened to them."
"So you're saying that Colonel O'Neill is now most likely a baby, and he wont remember us anymore?" Janet asked.
"Yes. I can bring you to the house of Con'o'dato to see if they are there."
"Yes please we should hurry." Sam said smiling for the first time since Jack went missing.
**************************************************************************** *****************
"It is there." Master Chalin said pointing to a small house in the middle of a forest. "How will you know if the child is indeed your Colonel?"
"How do you know there's a kid in there?" Ferretti asked. "I mean there's smoke coming out of the chimney yes but you can't see inside can you?"
Master Chalin smiled. "I have great hearing."
"I as well can hear the cries of an infant." Teal'c said looking towards Sam.
"You have still not answered my question. How will you know if the infant is indeed Colonel O'Neill?"
"We can do a blood test." Janet answered. "All I need is some blood of his. I have the equipment."
"I'll go. I can ask her if she's seen anything, and then ask to hold the baby." Daniel said.
"Daniel she could be dangerous. We can't risk you getting hurt - Daniel!" Sam yelled as Daniel got up and started for the house. "Now I know how Colonel O'Neill feels." Sam said as she let out a long sigh.
**************************************************************************** **************
"Hello is anybody home?" Daniel asked as he knocked on the door.
Shortly after his knock a short blond haired woman came to the door. "Yes? How can I help you?" She asked quietly.
"Well I was wondering if I could ask you a few questions about my friend, You see he went missing and we don't know where he is, Have you seen him? He's really tall and wearing the same thing as I am. Can I come in?" Daniel asked smiling.
"Yes you may." The woman said as she moved aside for Daniel to enter.
"Nice house." Daniel said as he looked around the small house.
"Thank you. I'm afraid there is no one here but my baby and I." The woman said as she sat down on the couch.
"Oh you have baby? May I see him? I love babies." Daniel smiled for the woman again and saw her blush.
"He's in the basket, this way." The woman got up and led Daniel into a small room.
In the middle of the room was a basket and inside as Daniel got closer he saw a small baby. He looked like he was only 5 pounds. The baby was wrapped in a silk sheet that folded over his feet and covered up to his bellybutton allowing his arms to be free. The woman saw it and shifted the blanket up to cover more of him.
When the baby saw there were people in the room he looked towards them wanting to be held. "Can I hold him?" Daniel asked smiling again.
"Yes but please be gentle with him he was born not two weeks ago. His name is Cody."
Daniel nodded and carefully picked Cody out of the basket. "He's adorable." Daniel said as he rocked Cody back and forth. Just then the kettle rang, "I will be back in a moment." The woman looked at the baby and then smiled and left Daniel alone.
"Alright Jack this might hurt, but please don't cry." Daniel whispered all he got in response was a stare and a tilt of the head. Daniel quickly took the blood and smiled as the baby's eyes went wide and he stopped moving as if to say 'what the hell was that?'
"Cody needs his sleep." The woman said as she came back into the room.
"Oh yes of course." Daniel said as he laid the baby back into the basket. "Thank you for your help, if we find Jack, I'll come back and tell you. He's like me. He loves little kids." Daniel said smiling before he left the house and headed back to the group.
**************************************************************************** ******************
"Janet here." Daniel said as he handed Janet the blood.
"Daniel how did you get it?" Sam asked confused at his fast pace.
"Jack didn't cry. So it was easy. He looked at me funny though." Daniel said smiling.
Sam shook her head before turning to Janet. "How long will it take?" She asked.
"I'm almost done." Janet said smiling. "Guy's it's him." Janet said turning to the group with a serious expression on her face.
"Alright so we go in and take him out." Sam said indicating with her hand towards the house and then the direction of the gate.
"Great plan there major." Ferretti said smiling.
"Hey you got a better one?" Sam asked.
"Hey I didn't say it was bad." Ferretti said laughing.
"Let's go." Sam smiled back.
**************************************************************************** **********************
"There's no one here." Sam said to the empty house.
