It was the early hours of the morning and all was quite in the SGC. Adam was sleeping in his cell, Sam the only member of SG1 that was on base was asleep in her quarters.
"Unauthorised Off world Activation… Unauthorised Off world Activation" Sergeant Davis spoke into the microphone when the Stargate chevrons started glowing one by one.
He watched as the seven chevrons locked into place and a stable wormhole was established. The iris was quickly closed and Davis looked at the computer screen in case an IDC was sent through.
A noise behind him caused him to turn around and look towards the door just in time to see Carter enter the room looking like she'd just jumped out of bed and rushed to the Control Room. "Report…"
"We've got an unscheduled off world activation Major and still no IDC… wait IDC coming through now… It's the Tok'ra ma'am."
"Open the iris."
The titanium iris folded in on itself as it opened to reveal the simmering blue of the event horizon. It was another few moments before a figure materialised from the wormhole.
Jacob Carter stood at the bottom of the ramp that lead up to the Stargate and looked around for anyone that he knew, he looked up at the control room and smiled when he saw his daughter standing there looking down at him.
He watched as she turned around to head down to greet him. What he missed though but Sergeant Davis didn't was that when she'd turned around and was facing away from the window an almost silent 'shit' left her mouth, at which he couldn't hide the smile that appeared on his face.
"Sam…It good to see you" Jacob said when Sam entered the gate room.
"Hey Dad… long time no see."
"I know I've been trying to get away for a while now but we've had a few problems as of late…"
"Yeah I can guess…"
"You're looking good… what you been doing with yourself?"
"Oh you know me… working… I actually got to take a holiday almost a year ago as well and didn't get called back once… if you can believe that… So you just came for a social visit then?"
"Yeah… just thought I'd come visit my little girl and maybe this time I'll get round to going to visit Mark…"
"Good he'll like to see you again… plus I have someone I'd like you to meet as well…"
"Oh and who's that?"
"Well you'll just have to see… Come on lets go get something to eat while we wait for Colonel O'Neill to get in because you'll need his authorisation at the moment."
"Ok then… let's go eat…"
It was about half an hour later when Jack walked into the commissary and spotted Sam and Jacob sitting over at a table at the far end of the room. Making quick work of getting his food Jack quickly headed in their direction.
"Hey Carter… Jacob how's it going?…"
"Hi Sir… you're in early this morning…"
"Hi Jack… good to see you…"
"Yeah tell me about it Carter… General Hammond said I had to come in early to be there when we let your friend go… but you've got to drive him home and please make sure he stays away from the mountain… Hammond'll blow a gasket if he finds his way back…
"Ok you want to go there now… Dad do you want to come with me so that you can meet Adam?"
"Err Sure… But who's Adam?"
"You mean she hasn't told you…" Jack's grin grew at the idea of all the mischief he could cause with Jacob not knowing that his daughter was engaged once again.
Sam saw the look and knew exactly what Jack was planning and she didn't like that idea. She decided to head him off before he could take his idea any further. "Sir… How's Janet… I haven't had the chance to see her for the past few days as she always seems to have something on, on an evening that is…"
"Yeah well… gotta run… I'll talk to you later no doubt Jacob… Carter don't forget to bring Adam by my office before you head out with him… I think I'll try and scare him into staying away from the mountain" and with that Jack raced out of the room, his food forgotten in his attempt to escape Carter.
"What was all that about?" Jacob asked his daughter as they left the commissary.
"Nothing… it's just that I've got a feeling that there may be something going on between Jack and Janet... that and I caught them kissing about a week ago."
"That's good to hear… it's about time something went that way for Jack… So who's this Adam we're about to go see?"
"Adam Pearson… Well he's… Dad I'm getting married to Adam" Sam screwed up her face not knowing how her father was going to react to that but she was surprised when he didn't respond. "Dad?"
"When did this happen?… And what's he doing in the holding cells?…"
"We… we've only been engaged for a few months… and the reason why he's in the holding cells is because he didn't like to think that I was in any danger he didn't know about so he decided to come check it out."
"Well at least I know that you're in good hands… but he does sound slightly over protective… but I guess he can't be that bad if you're sticking with him… now let's go see my future son-in-law…"
They reached the holding cells and the SF opened the door for them. Sam entered first closely followed by Jacob. As soon as Adam saw Sam he jumped out of the seat he'd been sitting in while reading a book and moved over to the bars.
"Please tell me you've come to let me out of here… I think if I spend any more time in here alone I'm going to go insane… can you believe the guards didn't even speak to me…"
"Hammond said you're allowed out… but you've got to stop by O'Neills office so he can shout at you a bit to make sure you don't decide to go for a walk around the mountain again… Then I'm to escort you home and make sure that you stay there."
"Oh you don't have to worry about that… I've spent enough time in here for the moment… plus I want to head over to see Louise and make sure Richie's not getting her into too much trouble…"
"I though Richie would have headed back by now with the threat being over and everything?"
"Yeah so did Joe and I but it turned out that they really hit it off and well you know how it goes…"
"Well I never would have guessed that… Richie seems like a nice person and all… I just never thought they liked each other…"
"Well we were all proven wrong… Anyway how about getting me out of this cell…"
"Yeah sure but there's someone I want you to meet first…"
"Ok"
"Adam… this is my dad Jacob." At the mention of the word Dad Adam's face seemed to loose all the colour from his face and his posture became defensive.
"Dad… as in father?"
Sam couldn't help the small amount of laughter that escaped and nodded her head.
"Umm… Hi, nice to meet you…"
"Adam… nice to meet you…" Jacob said giving him a look that clearly said you hurt my little girl and I'll string you up.
Jacob I know this Adam Selmac spoke to Jacob inside his head.
How is that possible… he doesn't know about the Stargate so how could you know him?
I knew him a long time ago… and he does know about the Stargate. He was going by the name of Methos back then and he was our lover… my host at the time was Jolitha… He helped with the rebellion on earth but we got separated… I went through the Stargate to battle the Goa'uld, while he must have thought me dead and continued to battle the Goa'uld on earth… but it is him Jacob I'd remember him no matter how long it was… Jalitha was my first host and he was our first love… That is Methos.
"Sam… Sel thinks we may have a problem…"
"What the matter Dad…"
"Sel says he isn't who he says he is… his real name is Methos."
"Sam what the hell's going on here?…" Adam moved further away from the bars at the look of what he thought was pure hate on Jacob's face.
"Dad it's ok… but how do you know?"
"Like I said Selmac knew him."
"I don't know anyone by the name of Selmac…"
"Ok… how about the name Jalitha?…"
"Jalithia… No…"
Flashback
The sleep slowly faded from Methos' mind as gentle kisses were trailed down his body. Once his mind was cleared of all the fuzziness that was associated with sleep a smile soon graced his face.
"I could get used to waking up this way."
"You always wake up to this…" The gentle and loving voice of Jalitha made him open his eyes. He pulled up on top of her and kissed her hard on the lips.
"I know… but I never want it to end…" He smiled up into her dark brown eyes that he always seemed to get lost in then pulled her down for another kiss.
End Flashback
"Sam… get me out of here… I don't know what crap your dad's trying to pull but I've had enough… I don't know no Selmac or no Jalitha." Sam saw the look of pain in his eyes and didn't understand what was happening so she turned to her father and asked him.
Jacob knew what the question was going to be before it even left her lips and answered it. "Methos did indeed know Jalitha and Selmac… in fact he was their husband."
"Sam!"
"It's ok Adam… You can trust dad…" Then she turned to her dad and continued "You mean to tell me I'm getting married and having the baby of someone who was… how can I put this… married to a part of my dad… god that just sounds messed up…"
"Baby!"
"Your dad!"
Jacob and Adam both said at the same time. Sam realising what she'd said turned bright red. "Whoops… err yeah dad baby… I'm pregnant… and Adam stop playing dumb already…"
"Sam I'm not playing dumb here… I was never married to your dad… Yeah I've been married a few times but I can honestly say I've never been married to a man…"
"Ok… well not Dad but Selmac…"
"Once again… Who's Selmac?"
"I am" Jacob's voice changed to sound metallic as Selmac took control of his host.
"Shit…" Adam jumped back once again but this time he found his legs give out on him and he sank to the cold floor."

Village Mystic: - Thanks for the reviews... I like getting reviews from you cos you sound like you actually take note of the story lines and such and you know a lot about Highlander by the looks of it. (Looking for another beta for story 3 if your interested :D)... Oh and thanks by the way while reading your review talking about Hammond an idea popped into my head for a nice roll Hammond can play in secrets 3 (thank you :D)... And as for give Louise a normal name i had to give her a name to suit the times that she was raised afterall (would you know as well that it took my longer to find a normal name to use then it did for me to find a old type name... how strange). Anyhow i'm starting to babbling so i think i'll just say thanks again to you and all the others that review :D
P.S. Sorry that theres only one chapter uploaded today but theres only two more after this one so i thought i'd drag it out for a bit.
