Sam's POV

There are many things I have wanted out of life over the years.

Having a family is one of them, a good man that loves me is another...there are more, but those are the ones that have been a constant throughout everything.

In a span of a few days, I have lost my best friend, and gained a family. Such as it may be anyway.

Cassie is a bit nervous, I can see it in her eyes.

I am scared too.

I don't know if I can follow in Janet's footsteps. She was the best mom.

Great I can feel the tears welling up again.

I have been good lately.

So I guess this is not one of my better days.

But you know what, I think I am doing pretty good considering what I have gone through.

The adjustments I have to still go through.

This is going to change my whole career path.

I am not sure what the status of SG-1 is going to be anymore.

I will not put Cassie through losing another 'mom'. I can't do that to her.

So now here I am, sitting here with a daughter...and I don't know what to do next.

I know I have to talk with Jack about this and the General, I am hoping that they can come up with something.

I am amazed at what can happen to one person, well two people or maybe three at this point I really don't know anymore. I mean, Cassie, me and I guess Jack.

Only because I know there is no way I will want to go back to sleeping alone, and hiding everything...AGAIN.

Daniel and Teal'c are just leaving now. Daniel was happy about how things turned out, and well Teal'c, he isn't familiar with this.

Daniel looked like he just wanted to go home. Which is fine, not that I don't want him here, but I can't think when there is a house full of people.

I hear Jack ask him and Teal'c to come by tomorrow night for a BBQ.

That's good, I need my friends here, but just not right at this exact moment.

I hope that didn't sound hostile.

The General and Jack at sitting around the kitchen table talking quietly. I got up a while ago to go and call Cassie to see how she was, then made my way outside to sit in the sun and try to relax.

Like I can relax.

I don't mind change, but fast change.... Something like this... well its hard to get used to.

I wonder what they are talking about in there?

I want to go in, but it is so nice out here. I wonder if they will come out and find me eventually.

Men...they will come find me when I am needed I guess.

Cassie is doing ok, I spoke with her earlier.

She says she wants to spend the night, but will call if she wants me to come and get her.

Oh speak of the devil, here they come. Good now I don't have to move.

"Sam..." Jack says as he sits down next to me.

I look up and see the General sit at the picnic table, "Sir."

"Major...how are you doing?"

"Its been a long few days Sir."

"I agree Major." He looks over at Jack and then back at me.

"The Colonel and I have been talking about what's going to happen next."

"I see, I know there are going to be some changes." "Good changes Major."

Jack takes my hand, I can't believe it right in front of the General.

Well don't keep me in suspence.
