Sam's POV

Well a month has gone by and at first I wasn't sure what was going to happen, if this 'plan' that General Hammond and Jack came up with was even going to work.

I was surprised though at how easily everything just slid into place.

Cassie and I moved into Jack's, we decided to keep Janet's house for Cassie though. It was put into motion that SG-1 would be a 3 man team until completely necessary. Even then General Hammond told us that in order to give more teams more training, we would not be going on so many missions, like I said unless we are needed.

Jack has taken up training with some of the other teams and new recruits here. It's been nice actually to go home at night.

Not that I don't like staying on base.

Cassie is adjusting well, although there are times when I know just to leave her alone. I know because I have those days as well.

So back to readjusting to the SGC.

See as time goes on, and I get more relaxed and comfortable in this 'new life' my mind takes many paths, as Teal'c said to me the other day.

General Hammond put me in control of all the labs, and left me on SG-1. I hate to see the guys go off world without me, but I do know if it were anything dangerous or serious enough, Hammond would have assigned me to the mission as well.

I am getting accustomed to going into the office at 0800 and leaving at 1700 everyday.

Dad came through the other day as well. He was shocked at my transformation so to speak.

But he said he was happy as long as I was happy.

I even told him about Jack and I, he didn't bat and eye.

I wonder if he always knew?

Anyway he got called back and as usual had to leave a lot earlier then he wanted to.

Jack has been a totally different person. Well not totally different, but it's the little things you notice, right?

He still comes and gets me for lunch and to go home at night.

I bet he is relieved that he doesn't have to bribe me to leave or pull rank anymore.

He just seems more attentive to me now, more in tune maybe.

Like we could be MORE in tune with each other... but I guess we can.

Cassie, she is just wonderful. I thought it would be harder for her to get used to living with yet another 'mother', I thought I'd get a lot of 'your not my mother' from her, but I haven't gotten that once.

I think she is still getting used to the fact that Janet is gone. We have had some talks late at night about losing a mother.

Cassie told me that she never wanted me to go through the gate again, she said the same thing about Jack and Daniel and Teal'c. She said that it brings nothing but death into her life. I can understand why she would think that, but we had to make a compromise, because I can't NOT go through the gate.

So when I told her of what my new 'job' was at the SGC she was thrilled.

Daniel is doing better, although I am a little worried about him. He has skipped out on more then a few team get together's now. Jack has noticed too. Teal'c said he would keep an eye on him as well.

We are family right, this is what family does.
