CHAPTER THREE: HOMECOMING
Vicky was walking form the Chs'pa'a to a near by village when she saw a familiar flash of light. She was standing on an Asguard ship in front of an Asguard that she had never seen.
"Who the hell are you?"
The alien blinked several times.
"I am Thor."
"Well, didn't your father teach you that's rude to beam someone up without a warning?"
"He did not."
"Well, he should have! What do you want?
Thor had just gotten a message form Major Carter that she needed help with a piece of technology. He decided to not agitate the Tau'ri further for the moment and only mention that part of his mission.
"A member of the Tau'ri is in need of assistant with some Asguard technology."
"And, because of the treaty...yadda, yadda...Ok, but NEXT time you had better warn me!"
Vicki decided to get some sleep until they got wherever the hell they were going.

SEVERAL HOURS LATER
Thor woke Vicky up.
"We are here Victoria O'Neill."
"So what's the gig?"
"Gig?"
"Where are we and what am I supposed to do? And, wait a minute. Odin never knew my last name, what are you up to?"
"We are at Earth, and you must help Major Carter with some Asguard technology."
"I CAN'T GO BACK TO EARTH, I'M DEAD!"
"I apologize Victoria O'Neill, Odin should not have removed you from Earth."
"Well seeing as I would be dead other wise it's OK"
"You are very generous, Victoria O'Neill. Tell Jack O'Neill that I am sorry that his has been without his mate for all of these years."
"JACK! JUST WAIT A...."
Flash of light.

General Hammond and SG-1 were in the briefing room going over the next mission to??? Jack frowned, he couldn't for the life of him remember where.
"Sir, something wrong?"
"No, Carter, just thinking."
Daniel snickered and even had a large smile on his face.
"What?"
Flash of light and a medium sized red headed woman appeared and shouted, "MINUTE"
She looked around and shouted to the ceiling and shouted, "THOR, YOU'RE A DEAD ASGUARD1"
Several things happened in rapid succession. Vicky felt a familiar queasy felling, spotted the Jaffe, and whipped out her P-38 handgun and pointed it at him. Jack screamed, "VICKY, NO!" And jumped in front of Teal'c. Vicky said, "Jack?" And General Hammond commanded in a booming voice, "VICTORIA ELIZABETH, PUT THAT WEAPON DOWN!" Vicky blinked at the General, "Uncle George?"
Jack took this opportunity to take the gun from her, engage the safety and set it on the table.
"Vicky, is that really you?'
She looked at him with tears in her eyes and nodded. The lump in her throat was too big for her to speak. Jack grabbed her up into a bone- crushing hug.
"Breathing would be nice Jack."
"Sorry.
He set her down, still holding her, and touched her face gently. He then leaned down kissed her, at first gentle than passionate, almost desperate. Carter was very shocked and suddenly pretended to concentrate on her notes. They had forgotten where they were when Jack heard Hammond speak.
"Jack would you mind if I hugged my niece?"
"No, of course not George."
Vicky turned around and hugged her uncle for several minutes, tears streaming down her face.
"Uncle George...mmm...Uncle General?'
The general chuckled. It's good to see you, Vicky."
"Somehow you don't seem all that surprised."
"I'm not, but we'll talk about that later."
"Mom?'
"I'm sorry, Vicky, she passed away ten years age."
"I'm so sorry for what she went through."
"You couldn't help it."
"O'Neill, you are acquainted with this woman?"
Vicky frowned and stepped almost behind Jack.
"Relax, T's a friend."
"You're friends with a Jaffa?'
"A lot's happened."
"No doubt."
"Sorry guys this is Captain."
"Commander, Jack."
"Post humus"
"Oh."
"Victoria Elizabeth McPherson O'Neill, my wife."
The color seemed to drain out of Sam's face. Jack noticed and was upset. //Damn, could you have put it any worse?\\ Vicky noticed. //that's interesting\\
Sam forced a smile that didn't reach her eyes on her face. "It's nice to meet you, M'am."
"Vicky, this is Major Samantha Carter, Dr. Daniel Jackson, and Teal'c."
"Teal'c? I've heard of you. You're one of the major players in free Jaffa movement."
Teal'c bowed his head, "it is an honor to meet you, VictoriaO'Neill."
Daniel grinned largely, "hi."
"Vicky, I'm sorry I have ask you to escorted to the infirmary to be checked out."
"I understand Un...General, I could be carrying any number of micro organisms."
He smiled at her, "I'm glad you understand."
"Great! I'll just walk Vicky down."
"Jack, no offence, but I need a little time to absorb this. I didn't know I was coming to Earth until just before Thor beamed me down.. If you don't mind, it would be OK if and AP escorted me."
"Yeah, sure, you betcha." Jack realized it was a good idea, he, himself could use some to get used to his dead wife's retured.
