Susie-I don't like Pete either!

Damn Pete!

Jack arrived at Sam's ten minutes later and knocked on the door. Sam threw it open and called for Brianna.

"Hey Carter!"

"Hiya Sir." She looked very nervous about telling Pete all the things that had happened over the last couple of weeks minus the classified parts.

"Hi Jack!" Brianna called running down the stairs.

"Alright kiddo?"

"Yep." She smiled and hugged Sam. "See you later." She said before running out to Jack's car.

Jack smiled and placed a reassuring hand on Sam's shoulder. "See you at seven?"

"Yeahsureyabetcha!" She grinned and closed the door after them. As soon as they had driven off she leant against the door and sighed before making her way back to Pete.

"So, are you going to explain what exactly is going on?"

"Well Brianna is my adopted daughter." She held her breath waiting for Pete to say something.

"Your daughter? How?"

"Um, it started with Daniel having a visit from a ghost..."

Sam explained the whole story to Pete who sat in stunned silence until she had finished.

"So she, she's an alien?"

"Yes."

"Why didn't you tell me Sam?" He asked.

"I wanted to tell you in person, it's been a long few weeks trying to get her ready to move into my house. I wanted to introduce you gradually because of the things that have happened to her in the past." She took his hands in hers. "I was going to tell you Pete."

He pulled his hands away from hers. "When Sam? When were you going to tell me that you'd adopted a teenage girl who's afraid of men and by the looks of it doesn't like me all that much?"

"After you had finished the case you were working on." She replied quietly.

"How long has she been on Earth?"

"A couple of months."

"So she was there when you were in the coma?"

"Yes, she saved my life..."

"So you felt obliged to take her in and care for her?" He said standing up and walking to the window.

"No Pete!" Sam cried. "I did not feel obliged. I wanted to adopt her! She is a great kid and she needed a home. I don't know if I can even have children and I deserve a family." She said angrily.

"Sam it looks as if you have enough of a family without me now." He said facing her. "What with the Colonel and Brianna." He sneered.

"It's not like that Pete. She trusts Colonel O'Neill, Daniel, Teal'c, my father and General Hammond, they all want to help so I let them. It's hard to look after a teenager on your own. It's the same with Cassie, Janet's adopted daughter; we ALL help her!"

"Well I'm sorry Samantha, I can't deal with this right now."

"You can't deal with this?!" Sam yelled as she walked over to him. "She's not yours. You don't have to have anything to do with her if you don't want to!"

"But I do Sam! If I go out with you then I will have a responsibility towards her." Pete stormed towards the hall. "Sorry Sam, but I have to go now."

"Fine! But don't think you can just come back and make it up because you're not welcome here anymore!" She yelled and slammed the door shut after him.

Sam walked into the front room and sat on the sofa, her head in her hands with tears running down her cheeks. She was sitting in that same position half an hour later when Janet knocked on the door.

"So Bri, what do you wanna do?" Jack asked as they drove along.

"I dunno." The teenager shrugged.

'Great' Jack thought 'she's turning into a proper teenager'.

"How about we go and annoy Daniel for a bit, then go get some lunch. Maybe afterwards we can go to the cinema or something?"

"Iawn. (Okay)" She smiled and watched the world go by.

"Hey guys, what are you doing here?" Daniel asked cleaning his glasses on his shirt.

"We've come to annoy you." They grinned.

"Fine, come in." He said ushering them into his house. "So, you want a drink?"

"Sure, what you got?"

"Um, coffee, and more coffee. I might have some soda here somewhere from when Cassie was over last." He mused to himself as he went to the kitchen.

"I'll have a coffee Danny boy." Jack called after him.

"I do have some soda."

"I want some soda please."

Ten minutes later the phone rang. Jack turned the TV down and Daniel answered the phone.

"Hey Jan...what's wrong with Sam?"

Jack and Brianna stared at Daniel.

"Pete left...she kicked him out...yeah Jack's here with Bri...sure, we'll be over in ten." He hung up.

"Sam's really upset." He said turning to the others. "We should get over there."

They nodded and they all made their way to Jack's car.

"Damn Pete!" Jack said as her drove to Sam's. "I swear if I see him I'll kill him!"

"Jack, you just went through a red light." Daniel pointed out.

"I don't care Daniel. That bas...man doesn't know who he's dealing with!" Jack glanced back at Brianna who was sitting in silence; he knew it was something to do with her, why couldn't Pete just accept her?

"You okay Bri?"

"Ie, dw I ddim yn hoffi Pete, mae gas gyda fi."

"What she say?"

"That she hates Pete." Jack grinned.
