Happy Father's Day

It's been so long since Jack has celebrated Father's Day, this year he gets to celebrate it with his daughter Caitlyn. General Hammond got a special phone call from his son and daughter in law and even his grandkids called to wish him a Happy Father's Day, it sure brighten his whole Father's Day weekend.

Meanwhile Jacob (Jake) Carter decides to visit his daughter Samantha and her brothers and his family this Father's day. Incoming off world activation...said the speaker...General Hammond sir...it's the tok'ra. "Jacob Carter welcome back, I think I know why you're here" says General Hammond. "Hi George, I'm here to see my daughter and her brother and my grandkids this Father's day, so is she here" says Jacob (Jake).

Just then Sam walks into the gate room when she saw her dad had just come through the gate, "Dad, you're here...I wasn't expecting you for a few months, is everything ok" says Samantha as she hugs her Dad. Jacob hugs his daughter back and says "Yes Sam, everything is ok, I just came to surprise you and your brother and the kids this Father's day. Sam and her Dad head for the mess hall (food quarters), where Colonel O'Neill and the other SG1 would be.

"Jake" says Colonel O'Neill and Dr. Jackson at the same time. "What ya doing back here so quickly we weren't expecting you for awhile" said Jack. "I came to surprise my kids, after all it's Father's Day. "Oh yeah, so it is" says Dr Jackson. "So, who is this lovely lady" said Jake pointing to the young lady sitting between Jack and Daniel. "Jacob Carter... meet Caitlyn O'Neill, my daughter" says Jack Just then Jake's jaw falls down, as he picks it up off the floor he says "Nice to meet you Caitlyn, and adding "I didn't know you had a daughter Jack" "Join the club" said Samantha Carter. With smiles and laughter all around, Jake sat down joining them in a conversation on how Caitlyn new of the Stargate, and why she was there.

"Wow, that's amazing, and what an adventure you guys had with out me" says Jacob Carter. "So Jack how's the reunion going" said Jacob. "Great Jake, now that she's back to her old bratty self again" says Jack and looks at his daughter with a smirky grin. Cat laughs mischievously and sticking her tongue out at her Dad. "See what I mean Jake" says Jack grinning. "Caitlyn should be acted her age shouldn't she Sam" Jacob said laughing. "Yeah, but then we'd have to tell Colonel O'Neill, he has to do the same" said Sam with a slight mischievous smile. They all laugh.

Meanwhile Daniel had left the room, I guess he was feeling left out because he hadn't had any family to celebrate Father's Day with. With his parents long dead, and Nick (his Grandfather) gone else where, he didn't have any family it must make him often sad during this Father's day and of the past years missed.

Cat went to find Daniel, he was in his office with someone, and she interrupted their conversation. "Daniel are we ready for my Dad's surprise" said Cat. "Yes, I believe we are" said Danny. Daniel and Cat and their guest left his office and headed back to the others. A few minutes later everyone stopped talking and their attention was drawn to a piano that was coming into the room...shortly afterwards a young marine sat down to play music...soon Daniel joined the others at the table with a smile that seemed to say "I know what's going on". Caitlyn came into the room and said "This is for you Dad...Happy Father's Day... Well I promised you a song didn't I, smiled Caitlyn and as Jack smiled in amusement, she starts singing... "Sing...sing a song...make it simple to last your ...whole life long...don't worry if it's not good enough for anyone else to hear...just sing...sing a song. Just then she moves closer to the entrance and ushers a small young girl into the room and together they finish the song...sing...sing a song, la, la, la... sing... make it simple to last your whole life long...don't worry if it's not good enough for anyone else to hear...just sing ...sing...sing a song. End Song, and Jack gets up smiling from ear to ear walks over to his daughter and hugs her with a big smile she says "Dad meet your Granddaughter Sara Kate O'Neill.

Jack hugs his Granddaughter and she hugs back. Jack says to his Granddaughter "Hi, sweetheart, glad to finally meet you". Sara smiles and replies with "Hi...ummm...Colonel...ummm...Grandfather" kinda shyly. "Ummm...I think she's just being shy" says Caitlyn as her daughter hugs her mom unsure what to do next. "It's ok Sara, I promise I won't bite" says Jack smiling at his Granddaughter. Sara looks at her mom for reassurance as Jack gestures her over to join them at the table and she sits down next to him.

Jack introduces his Granddaughter to everyone including General Hammond who just walked in to see what everyone was up to. "Everyone this is Sara, my Granddaughter" says Jack smiling so hard you'd think it would fall off his face (that is if it could). Everyone's being nice to Sara, making her feel so comfortable. After a while of hearing the now known "Grandpa Stories", she's very comfortable hanging out with Jack, and Jack is so comfortable having her there sitting next to him, it's like he's known her all of her life.

Jack thinks to himself "It's uncanny that Sara reminds me so much of her mother" and he smiles. Sara and her Grandpa Jack are getting along great, it's exactly what Caitlyn had hoped would happen. Caitlyn smiles at the perfect picture of her Dad and Sara together. Caitlyn suddenly notices Daniel has left the room again, but doesn't remember when he left or where he went. Cat wanted to thank him for helping her surprise Jack with his Granddaughter.

Cat sees Sara is in very good hands with Jack and feels its ok for her to leave them together for awhile. Cat walks out in search for Daniel. She asks one of the marines guarding the elevator if he had seen Dr Jackson. "Yes Maam, He went up to the surface" said the young marine. Caitlyn thought "he must be remembering those not so happy Father's Day moments" and she went up to the surface. She had found Daniel alone, trying not to be showing too much sadness from his memories of his childhood full of missed Father's Days. "Daniel...are you alright" said Cat "Oh Cat, I'm sorry I didn't know you were up here" says Daniel as he turns around to see her behind him. "Ummm ...it's...I...you know, I'm glad you and Jack have this chance to be together this Father's Day, I didn't mean to disappear like that" says Daniel. "I know sweetie, I know you miss your family especially on days like this, but we're family too, Jack and I and Sara and you" says Cat with a loving smile.

"And me" says Daniel surprisingly. "Yes you, why wouldn't you be family, besides if anything Sara and I are the ones joining your little family. Seems to me you already have a family with the others of SG. So you see Jack, and the others, you and Sara and me and baby are already family. So let's go back and celebrate together as one big happy family, ok Daniel." Cat says smiling.

"Thank you for saying that, it means a lot to me that you think of me as family, yes I guess you're right we are family, I guess I don't always feel that way sometimes" said Daniel. "Daniel it's ok, I understand everything, lets go back down ok" says Cat. "Yes, ok lets go join the others... wait... aah Cat... did you just say Baby a little while ago? said Daniel with a shocked look on his face and looks of going pale. While in the elevator Daniel says "What... who's baby. "Our baby Daniel of course silly, Happy Father's Day" says Caitlyn with a big happy smile on her face.

As they get off the elevator Daniel not looking so good, he suddenly falls and blanks out after knocking himself unconscious from hitting the floor.
