Daniel's POV

Okay today is the day, I am heading over to Jack's to read Janet's will.

I don't want to do this.

It makes it all so final.

Cassie called last night and said the same thing.

But it's so true.

Over the past 3 days, I have gotten better, I still haven't made it to the base yet.

I am dreading the next mission we go on.

I don't want to face the post mission exams.

How can I let the new person examine me?

I don't want to.

But I don't think I am going to be given much choice in the matter at all.

I have made it outside my apartment though.

Score one for me!

Teal'c has been so great through all of this too.

I don't know how he does it.

I wish I had this strength.

We are all meeting at Jack's this afternoon. He and Sam thought it would be a good idea to sit with Cassie first and discuss things before we all invaded.

I'd have to say that is a good idea.

Jack said they were all doing better together when I saw him the other day.

He commented on how Sam didn't cry too much anymore, and how Cassie seemed to open up to him a little more.

It seemed as they were becoming more and more like a family.

I am not sure if any of them are going to be able to go back to their own places when this is all over and done with.

In a way I hope they don't, I haven't seen Sam or Cassie yet, but Jack seemed content, happy.

Sam's POV

Okay, today is the day.

I made coffee and a light breakfast.

Now I am sitting here at the dining room table waiting for Cassie and Jack to join me.

I know its still early, but I couldn't sleep.

I guess I got myself all worked up.

I don't want to do this, but I know it has to be done.

We have to figure this all out. Cassie is almost of age...she's 16. But she can't live alone.

I know she has plans for college, which is great.

The will is sitting there on the other side of the table taunting me.

I want to know. I have to know.

Time to go and make sure Jack is getting up.

I make my way upstairs, and I can hear the water running in the bathroom.

Someone is up.

As I walk slowly I gently open Jack's door, I can see him sitting on the edge of the bed.

"Morning." I say to him.

As he looks up at me, I can see that he is nervous.

"How long have you been up?" He asks me.

"A while, I couldn't sleep." He laughs, "I know the feeling."

As I walk over to him, he holds his hand up for me, I reach for him and he pulls me down for a hug.

"What's wrong?" I ask him.

He's being so quiet it's making me nervous.

"What's going to happen after all of this is said and done?"

"I don't know Jack, we will work through this together like we always do."

He is quiet for a moment and laces his fingers through mine.

I know what he is thinking.

And I am not sure I want to go back either.

So I give his hand a squeeze and look into his eyes, "Come on, let's get Cassie and get through this together."

Cassie's POV

I make it downstairs after I hear Sam and Jack go.

They are sitting at the table waiting for me.

"Sorry."

"Its ok Cassie." Sam says to me.

"Are you ready?" Jack asks me.

Well as ready as I am ever going to be I guess.

Did I mention today that I hate this?

"Okay," Sam starts off, "It says here I am trustee of her estate, and Jack is co-trustee. Cassie as a beneficiary, you are entitled to all of her estate when you are 21."

I watch as she reads on, the house and everything go to me. WOW... her life insurance and everything are given to me. I am waiting for what is next.

In a way I don't want to leave here. I can't go live back home. Maybe later down the line, but defiantly not now.

I wouldn't mind going to Sam's but I know that right now, she needs Jack just as much as I need him.

I see Sam skim down as well, Jack is reading over her shoulder, when she stops, she quickly looks over at Jack.

"Cassie, how would you like to stay with me?"

I light up, like my mom would choose anyone else?

She had planned for everything for me, right down to a special college fund and everything.

It seems I am set for a long time.

And I don't mind that I am in Sam's custody.

It's where I want to be.

Although I think it's going to change some thing for her though.

"Like mom would appoint anyone else Sam."

"Well I was worried."

"You shouldn't be."

I can see her smile, and Jack's as well.

"So where does that leave us?"

"Well your mom's house is left to you Cassie. What you want to do with it is up to you."

"I know Jack, I just can't do anything with it right now."

"I understand, we can discuss it at a later time Cassie. But I think it would be wise to keep it."

"I know. I just can't think about it right now, let alone step foot in there."

"We will take care of it Cassie." Sam says. "But isn't there something else we have to think about?" I ask.

Jack looks up. I can see that he is holding Sam's hand under the table.

"Like what Cassie?"

"Like where are we going to live Sam?"

She looks over at Jack and then back to me.

I know this is something neither one of them expected.

"Where do you want..."

"I don't care Jack, as long as I have you guys."

Sam's POV

Okay that wasn't what I expected.

'Where ever you guys are...'

Well I can see where this is going to end up.

A lot of things are going to change and real quick.

I can't leave Cassie here alone when we go on missions for weeks at a time.

I can't stay at the base late at night working...

God my whole life is going to change.

I knew it would happen, but the reality in at all is shocking.

We eat breakfast together and Cassie gets up. She said something about going over to her best friends house. I don't mind really, she needs to get out of the house.

And then that leave Jack and I, here alone.

Is that a good thing?

Maybe.

This afternoon everyone will be here, including General Hammond.

So maybe we can get some things settled.

If we don't I am going to go crazy thinking and thinking....

A quick glance at Jack, and he's smiling.

"Don't think to much Sam, we will work everything out."

"I know...thanks for everything Jack."

Okay its time to get ready for this afternoon.

Jack's POV

Well this was nothing that I expected.

I knew Janet would provide for Cassie no matter what and it seems like she has.

Thank god!

But like Cassie said, where does this leave us now?
