Okay, this chapter takes into account that Teal'c heals as slowly as a
normal human because of the tetronin, Janet didn't die in Heroes and
Hammond and Jack are both retired.
Epilogue-7 years later.
Jake stood next to his coach Matt waiting patiently as the other boys on his team got picked up by their parents. Matt put his hand on the little boys shoulder.
"Don't worry, I'll drop you home if they don't turn up."
The little boy tilted his head to look up at Matt. "They said they'd be here."
"I know, maybe something came up." He didn't want the boy to feel that his parents had abandoned him again.
"Look, there they are!" He yelled pointing into the crowd.
A young brunette was walking towards them with a blonde girl on her shoulders and another little girl running alongside her. She put the little blonde girl back on the ground and carried on walking towards them.
"Hey Jake!" She smiled and ruffled the little boys hair. "You were amazing!"
"Really?"
"Yeah, Daddy said you hit better than Uncle Danny!" The little blonde girl said.
"I got it all on tape so your mom can see it when she gets out from hospital!" Paige smiled.
"Cool. Oh, Paige this is my coach Matt, he's single. This is my cousin Paige, she's single too." The boy giggled and ran up to the grey haired man that was walking their way with the rest of the family. "Dad!"
Paige turned to look Matt in the face. "Hi, we met before." She said nervously.
"Right, when I dropped Jake off."
"Yeah, well I'm sure I'll see more of you soon. I just got my licence so I'll be driving Jake to practice."
"Great, you could stay and watch some time."
"I like that." She smiled. "Um, about why no one came to pick Jake up. There was a family emergency, his mother and uncle were hurt badly in an accident and we, well, you know."
"I understand."
"I better get back to the rabble." She waved while walking towards her family. "Bye."
"Bye." He whispered watching her interact with the people around her.
-------------
Jack's house.
"Remember, this is her fist proper boyfriend for a while so play nice." Janet glared at Jack.
"What? I wouldn't do anything to embarrass or maim the boy in any way." He put on his most innocent looking face.
"What about Craig?" Daniel asked.
"I didn't like him."
"Just don't." Cassie warned.
They were all in Jack's back garden. He had had to move when Sam had had Grace, their little three-year-old cherub, their second child together. They now lived next door to Daniel and Janet with their three daughters, Cassie, Paige and Chloe.
Sam and Teal'c were sitting on deck chairs on the patio; both were recovering from their last mission and almost fatal accident. Daniel, Janet, Jack and Cassie were setting up the barbeque and food table. The children were playing with Cassie's fiancé and their Uncle George in the sand pit.
---------------
"Don't worry, they don't bite hard." Paige grinned at Matt.
"From what I hear from Jake, his father scared your last boyfriend away." He said nervously walking next to her down the street.
"That's only because he didn't like him, look he'll love you. Honest."
"What do I say to a load of air force people?"
"Well talk to Jack about baseball, hockey, fishing. Talk about how good Jakes homerun was." She grabbed his hand and stopped. "Just be you."
He reached down and kissed her lightly on the lips. "I'm only doing this for you."
"I know, and I love you for it." She smiled and pulled him up the path to the house and around the corner to the back yard. "Hey guys!"
"Hey Paige." Daniel walked towards her and smiled. "You must be Matt, we've heard a lot about you."
"Nothing bad I hope?" He took the man's out stretched hand and shook it.
"Would I do a thing like that?" She smiled innocently.
"Yes!" Replied most of the guests.
"But she didn't." Daniel reassured him.
"Anyway, this is my dad Daniel, this is my step-mom Janet and sister Cassie," She pointed them out. "This is Jack, avoid him."
"Hey!" He yelled. "I'm not as bad as they say I am."
"Those two playing in the sand are Cassie's fiancé Greg and George, there's Sam and Teal'c sitting on the deck chairs and these two." She said picking up the two three-year-olds. "Are trouble and trouble."
"Am not trouble." Said Chloe.
"Prove it."
"How?"
"Go and look after Uncle George and Greg in the sand pit. Make sure they don't misbehave."
"Okay." The two girls smiled and ran off leaving the adults laughing.
"Want a beer?" Jack asked Matt.
"Sure."
----------
A couple of hours later, Jack, Paige, Cassie, Matt, Greg, Jake, Daniel, Chloe and Grace were all playing a distorted version of baseball.
"Matt's nice." Sam said from her deck chair.
"He is indeed." Agreed Teal'c next to her.
"He's cute as well." Janet grinned lying on the grass.
"Well just be glad that Jack hasn't tried to kill him yet." Hammond said as Jack high-fived Matt. "She has his approval."
"Good, I really didn't like that last guy she went out with."
"Me neither." Sam agreed. "Well I think it's time for the munchkins bed time."
Paige walked up to grab a beer from the cooler, the two little girls following with big yawns.
"Okay you two," Jack said coming up from behind and lifting them into the air. "Say nighty night, it's off to the land of nod." He handed Chloe to Daniel who had just sprinted up to the group.
"G'd night everyone." Chloe said rubbing her eye with her fist.
After kissing everyone good night the girls and Jake were taken to bed, they were all sleeping in the O'Neill residence so the grown-ups could keep an eye or an ear out for them.
Daniel had plonked himself on the patio next to his wife, Sam had moved to be next to Jack letting Hammond take her chair, Cassie and Paige with their boyfriends were sitting on the grass across the yard watching the sun go down. (Warning-looking into direct sunlight will make you go blind, don't do it!!!)
"It's still kind of weird, I mean the whole alien thing." Matt said.
Cassie and Paige laughed.
"You'll get used to it." Greg said entwining his fingers with Cassandra's.
Across the yard the older adults were discussing their older children.
"They grow up so fast." Janet said.
"Some don't grow up." Sam said looking at Jack.
"What?"
"Nothing." She smiled and leaned into his embrace more. "I like Matt."
"He's good with kids."
"Indeed. I think that he would make a good husband for Paige." Teal'c agreed.
"Paige, settle down? My God, he's brain washed her!" Daniel said receiving a small slap from his wife.
"I think she has really matured, okay so she still is a bit wild and unpredictable doing things on the spur of the moment, but she's has grown up." Hammond said before taking a swig of his beer. "Cassie has as well."
"Yeah, just think, in four years time Paige will have left the air force and possibly be married and Cassie will be married and be in the air force." Sam said.
"We'll still have our babies." Janet smiled.
"They'll soon be leaving home."
"Sam, they're three years old, and six."
"Kids are leaving home younger know though Janet." Jack joined in winding up his friend and doctor.
"Really, if they are anything like their older cousins/sisters they will still be at home when they're 24!"
"Cassie's moved out already." Daniel said. "Paige won't be far behind."
The conversation ended as Paige walked up to get another beer.
"What?" She said looking from person to person who looked back. "You scare me when you're quiet!"
She turned to go back to the other group. "Oh yeah," She turned back to face her father. "Can you help me move into Matt's place sometime?"
"SEE! See?" Daniel turned to Janet.
"Whatever!" She said walking away muttering under her breath. "Weird man, very weird. I hope it's not genetic."
She went back to the smaller group and plonked two beers down in front of herself. "Oh yeah." She said passing one to Greg.
"I have to say that I like your family." Matt said causing Cassie and Paige to laugh again. "What?"
"Those weirdoes?" Cassie asked.
"They're weird!" Paige added. "If you love them you'll love my mom's family, she's in the Mafia don't you know?"
"How much have you two had?" Asked Jack coming up behind them.
"We haven't had enough till we are well and truly plastered." Paige said poking him in the leg.
Jack reached out and grabbed her beer and ran away.
"Hey!" She yelled and ran after him.
And so it was that Jack stole Paige's beer and drank it, Paige was not a happy camper and decided to empty the contents of Jake's water pistol over his head.
"A normal barbeque at the O'Neill residence." Daniel stated.
"Not yet, wait till Jack gets the hose out." Janet said.
"No, I think I'll go inside now and stay out of their way."
"I think I might join you." Sam, George, Teal'c, Janet and Daniel inconspicuously crept into the house followed shortly after by Cassie, Greg and Matt who was looking very confused until someone explained that this happens all the time.
-------------
Okay, Cassie and Greg get married; Cassie becomes Chief CMO of the SGC when Janet retires, they have one son. Paige and Matt get married and have three children - hey the Italians believe in big families, it's not that big really! Paige finishes her ten years sentence in the air force and decides to stay on at the SGC to carry on with the fight against all the bad guys in the universe.
OMG-I just realised that if Janet marries Daniel she'll be called Janet Jackson! Dammit Janet! She can keep her last name in this then-Fraiser is a much better name for a Janet than Jackson is.
If you want more Paige stories then you'll have to say so in a review-can be after or before the epilogue, it's up to you...
