A/N- Well here we go, the reveal of who the next visitor is! You think I would leave you hanging? Well I hate it when others do that to me, so without further delay...

"I can't take this right now." Sam said.
"Samantha you have a visitor." The voice said.
"If I don't look then they can go and I won't have to go through this again."
Sam felt a light touch on her shoulder.
"Please don't, I don't think I can handle this." Sam said softly.
"It's a lot easier if you look at me." The new visitor said. Accepting her defeat Sam turned around and was greeted by a pair soft brown eyes and a large smile. She looked exactly as Sam remembered.
"Janet." Sam said sadly as the smaller woman moved to give her a hug. Sam managed to lose it once more and was crying with Janet as the two embraced.
"My god Sam I have missed you all so much." Janet said.
The woman moved apart and both sat up on the bench.
"Wow," Sam said wiping her eyes "I have cried more since I got here than I have in the last five years." Janet gave her friend another squeeze around the shoulders.
"How have you been?" Janet asked.
"Oh you know, saving the world, beating bad guys..."
"Getting engaged?" Janet continued.
"Yeah." Sam said blushing slightly.
"How is everyone?" Janet asked.
"Getting there. General O'Neill, if you can believe it, hates paper work even more, Daniel is translating and Teal'c is...Teal'c. We all miss you. It's not the same." Sam said. There was a few moments silence before Janet continued.
"How is she Sam?" She asked finally.
"She's doing as good as she can. You know how it is, it hurts, but we have tried to support her as much as we can. You raised an incredible daughter Janet." Sam said trying to reassure her friend.
"I know. I miss her so much. I am allowed to look in on her form time to time, but I wish I could speak to her again, tell her I love her, tell her goodbye." Sam could feel the emotion running through Janet.
"She knows Jan. She misses you too." Sam said taking Janet's hand into her own.
"Thank you for taking care of her. I saw how you were with her when it happened."
"I was just doing what anyone would have done. I could see she was heading in the wrong direction. But I think she is going to be fine." Sam said in a comforting tone.
"So, engaged huh?" Janet asked again trying to brighten them up.
"Yeah, what do you think?" Sam asked.
"Well I only met him once and he wasn't in the best shape, being shot and all. But he seemed nice."
"I'm sensing a but here." Sam said.
"Are you sure you are not rushing this? You get set up with this guy and you want to marry him."
"We have been together for a while now." Sam said.
"I know, I just can't help feeling that you are not thinking clearly. You seem so caught up in the idea that you need to have this life to be fulfilled you are jumping right into it headfirst without testing the water levels." Janet replied.
"I love him Janet. I finally have someone and I like how that feels." Sam said.
"I can't say to you, everything I want to...I can't do anything that is a direct influence on you. But there are a few things I am meant to show you." Janet said standing up an pulling Sam with her.
Janet waved her hand in the same way her mother had and Sam found herself looking at a very familiar figure.
