"The Unexplainable"

Ch. 3

The Tree House, 1920's

"The twins are down for their nap," Daniel said, sitting down beside his pregnant wife. "You look like you could use a nap yourself, Honey."

"I feel like I could use one. It's probably a good idea, anyways. My powers would be stronger and I'd be more alert," Jack and Daniel helped her up. "You don't mind do you?" she turned to Veronica. She shook her head. "Now if you'll excuse me."

Trisana walked out of the dinning room and into the same room the twins were sleeping in. Faith and Hope were sleeping peacefully in the middle of the bed. Tris slipped under the covers beside the babies.

"So, you guys are explorers. Who go to different planets through some round ring thing called a Stargate?" Marguerite said, after SG-1 explained there story.

"How is that possible?" Malone asked.

"Keep it short and simple, Major," Jack said to Sam.

Daniel and Sam grinned at the Colonel. Teal'c merely lifted his left eyebrow and inclined his head.

"A Stargate produces a wormhole between two Stargates. Matter is generally turned into energy, but turns back into matter once someone or something has reached the other Stargate," Sam explained. She turned to Jack and said, "How was that, sir?"

"Very good, Major," Jack said.

"Thank you, sir," Sam said.

Challenger nodded in understanding. The other explorers still seemed confused.

"Yeah, I don't understand what she says half of the time either," Jack said, seeing the looks on their faces.

"How long is it until Trisana has her baby?" Veronica asked.

"Her due date was set for yesterday," Daniel said. "So we're expecting her to go into labor any time now."

"Just to for warn you guys, don't call her Trisana. She doesn't like it very much. She likes to be called Tris," Sam said.

"And, Tris has been getting cranky a lot lately because of the twins have been keeping her up at night. So, just watch what you say or do around her right now," Daniel added.

"We appreciate the warning," Challenger said.

"Where were you while she was taking care of the babies?" Marguerite asked Daniel.

"Daniel Jackson was off-world with us," Teal'c supplied.

"SG-1 was on a different planet millions of light-years away for a 48 hour mission," Daniel explained.

"Alright, I want you Carter, Teal'c, and Dr. Challenger to try and find a way to get us back to the year 2003," Jack ordered.

"Yes, sir," Major Carter nodded. She looked at Challenger.

He nodded, "I'll do my best. Now if you will follow me to my lab, I imagine you guys are eager to get home" He got up.

The two got up and followed him to his lab. Daniel looked up at the Colonel, then to Marguerite, Roxtin, Veronica, and Malone. Roxtin, who had been standing, took Sam's seat, which was next to Daniel. Jack, then, took Challenger's seat, that was across from Sam, now Roxtin.

"So, what do you guys do when you're not being chased by dinosaurs?" Daniel asked.

"Try and find a way home, I guess," Roxtin said.

"I see you haven't found one yet," Jack said.

"You're very observant, Colonel," Marguerite said.

"It's one of his best qualities," Daniel grinned.
