Once there Janet took Macein to the infirmary for some more tests and to get the cast off his arm. While Daniel and Sam both stealthfuly made their way to their labs since neither one was suppose to be workng at all during their down time. As for Jack he went to have a little talk with the general.

When the general heared the knock on his door he looked up and to see Colonel O'Neill standing there. "Colonel O'Neill what can I do for you?" questioned General Hammond.

"Well sir I was just wondering if there's been any news as to whats going to happen with Macein?"

"I'm open to any suggestions you may have."

"Well actually sir it's more Janet's idea then mine, and I know she'll be in here later to talk to you about it, but I just wanted to put in my feelings on the idea first."

"Go on"

"You see last night we were all talking about it and Janet said if it was ok she'd take him. Thought it'd be a good idea for both Cassie and Macein to have each other to talk with and stuff since they've both been through similar situations and things like that. And frankly I think it's a good idea sir."

"I agree with you it does sound like a good idea and if it's what the doctor wants I don't see any reason not to agree. I'll get started with the neccesary calls and paper work."

"Thank you sir. Thats all I wanted to say."

"Of course. Dissmissed."

Sam later came to see the General after Jack had left, followed by Daniel a little later after her. All having very similar conversations with General Hammond. After taking a few hours to work up the nerve Janet finally went to talk with the general. Hearing the knock on his door for the 4th time that day General Hammond wasn't a bit suprised to see Janet.

"Sir may I speak with you a moment?" asked Janet

"Of course doctor come in." The general responded, "And doctor if this is about Macein let me just say that I think it's a great idea and I've already taken care of the neccesary calls and paper work. So as of today you have full custody of Macein."

"Thank you sir, but how did you know that was what I wanted to talk to you about?"

"Let's just two persuasive birdies and a spacemonkey told me. And doctor if you need to take some time off to help get Macein settled in fell free to."

"Thank you sir. I'll go let Macein know."

Arriving outside of Sam's office, where she'd left Macein with Sam and Jack, she entered the room where she could see Sam smiling and trying not to laugh at Jack.

"What's going on?" Janet asked Sam as she came in.

"Jack thaught he'd show Macein some magic tricks, but Macein figured them all out and now is confusing the colonel with tricks of his own, it's kind of cute." Sam laughed. Just then Jack threw his hands up in a jester of defeat.

"So doc what'd Hammond say?" Jack asked.

"As if you two don't already know that he said yes."

"Said yes to what?" Macein asked, "That is if I can know?"

"Of course you can know this does involve you" Janet reasured him, "You see I talked it over with General Hammond and he agreed with me. So what that means is that if you want to you can come live with me and Cassie."

"If I want to live with you? of course I'd like to live with, why wouldn't I? It's just that I don't want you to go to this trouble just for me."

"Trust me it'll be no trouble at all. I'd like to think that I at least some what know what I'm doing when it comes to rasing an alien child."

"All right lets give this a go then."
