"Cheyenne Mountain Base, how may I direct your call?"
"Can I speak to the base commander or a Colonel Jack something it's concerning Major Samantha Carter?"
"Who may I say is calling?"
"Chaplain Hudson from the Air Force Academy."
"Hold one minute sir." The airman transferred his call.
"General Hammond." Hammond answered the phone.
"General, this is Chaplain Hudson from the Air Force Academy."
"Yes Chaplain what can I do for you?" Hammond asked.
"General, Major Carter is sat in the chapel feeling sorry for herself and suggesting she transfers to the Pentagon. General I've know the Major since she joined the academy, I think she's a little overwhelmed at the moment."
"I have people out looking for her. Keep her there and I'll have someone over there soon."
"Thank you General."
"Thank YOU chaplain." Hammond hung up and sighed. He dialled the number of Jack's cell phone.
"O'Neill." Jack answered.
"Colonel, it's General Hammond. I've just had a call from the Academy Chaplain, Major Carter is there."
"Thank you sir. We'll head straight there."
"Talk to her Jack."
"Yes sir." Jack hung up. "She at the Academy chapel." He said to Jacob.
"Chaplain Hudson. She used to go there while she was at the Academy when she couldn't work things out. I forgot about it."
"Let's go and talk some sense into her."

"Sammy." Jacob said as he went up to her.
"Dad?" Sam turned to look at him. "How'd you get here?"
"Jack brought me." She nodded to where Jack was standing at the back of the chapel.
"How did you know I was here?"
"You used to come here when you were in the academy and you needed to think." He sat down next to her.
"Chaplin Hudson called the base huh." Sam said.
"He's worried about you."
"I'm fine. I just need to transfer away from the base. I can't have people dying because I'm concerned about whether Jack is going to die on a mission. I can't do it Dad, I just can't."
"Sam, SG-1 is as good as it is because you care and as for Jack from what I've heard you've loved him since you met him. Sammy, honey he loves you too." Jacob pushed her hair off of her face. "Now is not the time to give up. You learn to adjust, I worry about you everyday and have done since you were born, but you just have to have faith. Everyone has as long as they have in this universe, you have to appreciate each moment you have together and it's only natural to worry, it only makes you human."
"What does your friend say?" Sam asked.
"Selmak says don't give up, Earth needs you. She also says to give Jack a break, she likes his sense of humour." Sam smiled. "Are you still going to request a transfer?"
"Not tomorrow anyway. I'll give it another few weeks and see how I feel then."
"Just trust your instincts. You did the right thing coming after us today. Daniel's impressed at your translation skills."
"He'd almost finished it anyway." Sam said. "I love you Dad."
"I love you too sweetheart." He hugged her. "Give yourself credit you're a lot better translator than you think."
"Thanks Daddy."
"You haven't called me that since you were a little girl."
"Maybe now is when I need my Daddy most."
"Sammy, I'll always be here when you need me if I can. When I can't you can lean on Jack. He's not going anywhere."
"You could have all been killed today." Sam pointed out.
"But we weren't. Give him a break."
"Thanks." Jacob beckoned Jack over.
"Hey." Sam said.
"Hey. I'm sorry."
"I'm sorry too. I didn't hurt you did I?"
"No. I think we need to work on your hand to hand combat. Come here." She stood and went into his open arms. "I love you."
"I love you too." Jack dropped a kiss on the top of her head.
"Is everything okay in here now?" Chaplain Hudson asked.
"Yes thank you." Sam said stepping back from Jack's grip. "Chaplain Hudson, I'd like you to meet Colonel Jack O'Neill my CO and General Jacob Carter my father"
"Nice to meet you." Jack said. "Thanks for the call."
"You're welcome."
"You know you always did interfere." Sam said.
"Only for your own benefit. I need you to close up for the night, if you're crisis of confidence is over."
"You're still a saint Chaplain." Sam kissed his cheek.
"Not a saint just human." He winked at her. "It's nice to meet you."
