Into the Lyons Den Part 17
Once everything was settled, Mac decided to question Harm about the likeness of her uncle and Sam's dad. They were sitting in the dinning room. Each of them reading a part of the paper. Mac looked up at Harm's head, which was easy since he was sitting opposite of her. "Harm, why didn't you tell me that Sam's dad looks like my Uncle Matt?"
Harm looked up at her. He was wondering when this wuestion was going to come up. "I know Mac. And I was going to say something during the mission, before getting him, but I never had the right time. I'm sorry."
"It's ok. I was just wondering. It's just odd. Uncle Matt never said anything about another brother."
"Well, I wanted to do some reseach, but never found the time. But I have a feeling that even if we tried..."
"We couldn't get far becaue if there are adoption recoreds, they would be sealed."
"Yeah... but the general might help us. We can go in and ask him. When we go, you might want to bring a picture with you, just in case."
"That's a good idea." Mac smiled at Harm and went back to reading the paper.
The Next Day
Harm and Mac arrived at the SGC at 10am. When they got there, they went straight to see the Hammond. Hammond was surprised to see them. "Please sit." Mac and Harm sat down in the visitors chairs. "So what can I help you with?"
Harm and Mac shred a look before Harm started. "Sir, you remember about 9 years ago a Marine Col. stole the Declaration of Independence?"
"I heard about it, why?"
"well, sir. He is my uncle, and that really is not anything to bring up, and I usually don't. But, when I met Major Carter's dad, I had to ask."
"What? Ask what?"
"Sir, Mac has a picture," Mac handed the picture to the general, "of her Uncle Matt."
The general took the picture and stared at it. At first he had no clue what to say. "Well, this looks a lot like Jacob, but it's not him because your in the picture."
Mac smiled at this. "I know sir. I really want to figure this out. but I don't know General Carter, so I don't want to ask. I was going to research adoption records, but I know that I wouldn't get access to them."
"Ok. This is a situation that needs to be investigated. So I'm going to call some people, and see what I can do."
"Ok." Harm said, while getting up to leave. Mac followed, "thank you for seeing us."
"Yeah. I'll call when I know something." Hammond turned back to his paperwork as Harm and Mac left. Once they left, George picked up the phone and dialed a number. "Hello Tim, this is General Hammond. I have a favor to ask..."
A few days later, they got a call from the general, asking them to report to the mountain for a meeting at 0900 houndred.
"This is it Mac. We are going to get to the botton of this." Harm smiled and wrapped Mac up into a hug.
Harm noticed that Mac didn't seem as happy as she should, so after they sat down, he asked. "Mac, honey what's wrong? I thought you'd be happy."
Mac took a deep breath before answering. "Harm, a few months ago, I got a call from one of the doctors at Bethasda. They had my uncle there. I went down." Mac started to tear up and harm grabbed her hand. "I found out that he has live cancer, and his outlook isn't that great."
"Oh God, Mac. I'm sorry that I wasn't there to suppport you." Harm drew her into a hug as she cried.
She just sat there, if Harm's arms for 10 minutes. Finally, she looked up at him. "Harm, I'm going to head to bed, I'm tired."
"Ok. I'll come with you. I have a feeling that tomorrow is going to be an emotional day." With that, they both headed to bed.
The Next Day
Sam and Daniel were walking down the hall when they met up with Jack, "Hey Kids, what are you doing here?"
"We don't know Jack. The general called yesyorday telling us he wanted to talk to us and Jacob. So here we are."
"And we need to get to the briefing room, so sir. We'll see you later."
Jack watched his two friends walk down the hall. He wondered why they were called in. But he knew he would find out later. Whatever the reason was, he could feel that it wasn't good. He turned and headed to his office.
Sam and Daniel walked inito the room, and they were surprised to see Jacob, Mac, and Harm already there. They went and sat down besides Jacob. Sam sat beside her dad and Daniel sat beside her. A few seconds later, the general walked in. He took his usual seat at the head of the table.
"Ok. I'm sure you're all wondering what I called you in. Harm and Mac partly know why. But before I say anything, Jacob..."
Jacob turned to his daughter and soon-to-be son in law. The only thing going through his head was ' he hoped she would understand.'
"Sam, sweetie. There is something that I need to tell you and you have to promise to listen to the whole story, ok?"
Sam raised an eyebrow at what her dad was saying. "Ok dad."
"Ok, I was adopted. I was adopted by your grandparetns when I was 3 months old. When I turned 18, they told me and also said that I had two brothers. They gave me their blessing to find my other family, but I decided not to. I never told you or Mark because I felt that I didn't need to." by the time Jacob was done, Sam had Daniel's hand in a death grip. She loosened it a bit after her father was done.
"Ok. Now Mac, I looked up the information. So here it is. Your grandmother had twins, your Uncle Matt and Jacob. She put Jacob up for adoption when she realized she couldn't take care of new-born twins and her two-year-old son."
The general noticed after he was done that Sam, Jacob, and Mac were just looking at each other. Before the general had the chance to say somethingt, a SF walked in. "Sir. they are here."
"Ok, send them down."
As Matt walked down the hallway, all he could think of was what this Major Davis told him. He didn't know what to think, and he had no time to process the information. He was told he was going to meet his twin brother, his daugther and her fiance. He would also see Harm and Mac. Matt walked into the room behind the major, not knowing what to expect.
The six peoplpe sitting at the table turned their attention to the that were walking into the room.
Jacob stood up and walked over to his brother. Major Davis left and walked over to stand behind the general. Sam stared at the two men. Not really knowing what to think. She knew that Daniel was worried about her, but she didn't know what to say to him. Then all of a sudden, she felt Daniel put an arm around her shoulder and took the other hand with his other hand. She turned and gave me a small smile. She knew that they had a rule not to do anything too personal at work, but at the moment she didn't care.
Matt's feet were rooted to the floor. He noticed Sarah sitting next to Harm, She looked calm, but he could tell that she was a bit shaken about the situation, he was too. He noticed that Sarah had Harm's hand in a death grip. He then turned his attention to the other couple sitting and watching him. The blonde haired woman looked like she was ready to fall apart, but trying not to. The man next to her seemed to be helping and supporting her. Matt finally turned his attention to the man standing a few feet away from him.
"Matt?"
"Jacob." The two men stared at each other. Matt all of a sudden found himself being hugged by Jacob. The two men stayed like that for a few minutes. When the separated, he noticed that the two couples where now standing close to them, together. Matt motioned them to come join them. Sam and Daniel walked and stood by Jacob. They were still holding hands,. Mac and Harm went by Matt. Matt was the first to speak.
"Well, I take you already know Sarah and Harm."
"Yes we do. Now this is my daughter, Samantha, and her fiance Daniel Jackson.
"Sir..." Daniel went to shake Matt's Hand.
Matt shook his hand, but stated. "Please, call me Uncle Matt."
"Ok." Sam answered with a smile on her face.
The general had just waited in the background while this happened. "Why don't we all sit down." Everyone went and sat back down at the table. Matt sat by Sarah.
"Ok, I know that you are all wondering why I asked you here. I looked into this becauseMac asked me to. I know all of this is a bit weird, but it'll get better in time. I have things to do, so please excuse me." With that the general went to his office, Major davis following him.
The six people just looked at each other, no one knowing what to say. Finally Daniel spoke up. "Well, I think we should let Matt and Jacob alone to talk." Sam, Sarah, Harm and Daniel all stood up to leave. "Dad, Sam and I will be in her lab, and Mac and Harm will be in mine."
"Ok son. We'll see you guys in a bit."
The four people left the room and headed towards the lab area.
Once everything was settled, Mac decided to question Harm about the likeness of her uncle and Sam's dad. They were sitting in the dinning room. Each of them reading a part of the paper.
