'Holy Hannah, Holy Hannah' Sam thought as she paced her lab. ' What am I going to do, what am I going to tell them?'
Just then Colonel O'neill walked in.
"Err Carter, could I have a word with you" Colonel O'neill asked.
"SIR um I am a little busy at the moment maybe later" Major Sam Carter said quickly
"No, your not, your going to sit, listen and answer questions" Colonel O'neill demanded.
Sam sat down and said, "What do you want to know sir"
"First of all why weren't we told?" Jack asked.
"It wasn't necessary" Sam said.
"Course it wasn't, she's your kid Sam, you should be able to mention her occasionally".
Sam frowned at that.
"She doesn't look a lot like you, well with the exception of the eyes of course". Jack said.
"She looks like her father." Sam stated simply.
"She's mine isn't she Sam". Jack stated more than asked.
Sam looked up shocked.
"SIR..." Sam didn't exactly know what to say.
"Sam, you were the girl that I had a one night stand with at that party years ago, weren't you".
"So what if I was".
"So, so what if you were, Sam, WHY THE HELL DIDN'T YOU TELL ME." Jack shouted.
"Well I um I" Sam stammered.
Colonel O'neill got a hold of himself and said simply.
"She's mine, isn't she"?
"Yes... I didn't want to ruin your career, so I didn't tell you, and when I thought about maybe telling you a while back, you were married and had another kid. So I thought it would be best if we stayed out of your life."
Jack groaned and sat down a chair quickly.
"Sam.... You should've told me. I could have looked after you and her."
"Yes I should have told you I admit it but at that stage of the game you were hardly thinking of looking after anything all you wanted was a quick lay."
Jack looked at Sam shocked at what she just said but knew inside she was right.
