The day started out like any other day. I got up took a shower, got dressed and headed for the mountain.

I had a lot on my mind. So I grabbed some coffee and made my way to my lab. That's when Colonel O'Neill

decided to pay me a visit. Sam we are going to go off world surprise! The General wants us to take a reporter,

some crap about reality TV. We are going to meet SG9 they seem to be running a little late. So go get checked

out and meet in the briefing room. So I went to get my check up and Janet was not there. Guess Cassie was out

late last night. Janet is such a good mom she worries so much about her. I wanted to tell her I was sorry that I

ended up working late and had to cancel girls night out. Oh well I will tell her when I get back. And make plans

for Saturday night.

My name is General Hammond and this is SG1, Colonel O'Neill, Major Carter, DR. Jackson, and Teal'c.

You are to follow their orders, so that everyone will remain safe and return home in one piece. You will be leaving

in 30 minutes, so I suggest you all get acquainted before you leave dismissed. The Colonel and Daniel are acting like

kids, and Teal'c has no idea as to what is going on. Here's the doctor when you need one! If Janet were here I would

try to get her to ground me for this mission.

My god its all wrong we are under attack. Colonel we are separated from everyone!. Carter so help me its that last time

I lead to simply get away from some know it all. Now we have to find our way back without getting shot. Sir do you think

Daniel and Teal'c have requested backup? Carter if it is as bad as things sound they are going to send half the SCG. What a

time to have some TV crew with us. The Colonel and I are running and shooting are way back to the gate. I can see lots of

jaffa and several teams from the SCG. I even see Janet and her medical team. It must be bad. Cater just keep shooting as you

run and don't stop for anything. I hear the Colonel yell, he is going down , I turn only to watch him fall. I call for help

the Colonel is down we need a medic. I see Janet look up and rise to come our way. No god Janet stay down, she can't hear me.

Its too late she is gone. I look around and all I see is death, and those that are injured. The Colonel will be find, me it will take

a while. See today was like any other day, except I did not take the time to say hello to my best friend, and now I never will.

God could mom yell any louder this morning. So what if I was 2 hours late coming home last night. This is all Sam's

fault she's the one that cancelled girls night out. So that meant mom was home. She blamed me for her getting up late, no one told

told her to stay up. So we both got off to a late start. Big deal! Gee I don't see the world ending. I sure hope she gives Sam what for,

because she really needed the night out. Great now my teacher is yelling at me. This is mom's fault she rushed me out the door

and now I don't have my term paper with me. Could this day get any worse?

I get home from school a there is a phone message. Cassie this is mom, I don't know what time I will be home I have to take a trip.

Great now I can't go to the mall. My life sucks! It's getting late looks like mom's trip is a late one. I wonder who is pulling up this late

at night. Hey it's Sam I wonder why she is not off world with mom. Sam's says the Colonel was shot and that the SCG lost a lot of

people. She has tears in her eyes as she tells me that mom didn't make it. I want to tell my mom that I am sorry about last night and this

morning. As Sam holds me as I cry I know that I will never be able to tell her. I tell Sam about last night and this morning. Sam tells me it's

okay that Janet knew I loved her and that she was my mom.
