Epilogue: Approximately 5 years later
"JC, time to go!"
Sam couldn't help but smile as the 3 year old came tearing down the stairs and launched himself at his father, a man he was already so much like. "Both of you, coats and shoes or we're going to be late."
"Are we going to the base Daddy?" The child questioned the man tying his sneakers.
Jack nodded. "Yep. There's going to be a BIG party and your Uncle Daniel and Aunt Mytel are gonna be there."

As soon as he was back on his own two feet JC went tearing across the room toward Daniel and Mytel, leaving his parents yelling after him in unison. "JACOB CHARLES O'NEILL, NO RUNNING!"
Hearing his friends shouts across the room Daniel prepared himself for the impact her knew was about to come from his godson colliding with him. Scooping the boy up Daniel set him on the edge of the table as Sam and Jack walked over. "Well?"
Sam smiled as she felt Jack's fingers entwine with her own. She smiled at Daniel before looking pointedly over his shoulder to the women standing behind him as a hand went instinctively to her womb. "Cassandra Janet O'Neill."
Daniel grinned. "CJ. I like it." He suddenly realized they were all watching him expectantly. He tightened his grip on Mytel's hand. "Jonathon Lusof Jackson."
Janet grinned knowingly. "Both due on the same day. And don't you two dare go into labor at the same time."

Sam slid into the chair next to Mytel. She followed the other woman's gaze to where Daniel was playing with JC. "He's going to be a great father."
Mytel's smile widened. "Yes he will…he better be, with Lusof and Tulana constantly hanging over our shoulders."
"Speaking of Lusof, is he running for reelection?"
Mytel nodded. "Yes. And he will be granted it I am sure."
"Me too." Sam looked around the room. This day couldn't be any better. Her friends and family all together was a rare occurrence. She only wished…her face lit up as she spotted her dad walk into the room and snag his grandson. She was just about over to them when the claxon's sounded.
"Unscheduled Offworld Activation!"
Jacob nodded at his daughter to go. "Never a dull moment."
AN: Special thanks on this go out to: The 2002/2003 Residents of Schneider 15 who helped me think up names; Nikki-who always manages to spark my imagination and put up with my writers block in RPGs cause I used up that spark on this story; Courtney-who also put up with my RPG writer's block; JenLyn-the roommate that put up with the insomnia caused by the obsession during the first 16 chapters; and last but in no way least, Krysta-who helped me work out the kinks and smooth out the bumps as she encouraged me not to give up on this story.
