"My POV"

A few days later, the Nox sent for me. I guess mom and dad were worried about me bolting; they both kept tight grips on my hands. I was scared. Hell, I'll admit it. I'd only met one alien, Teal'c…well, three actually: Teal'c, Rya'c, and Master Bratac.

"Jessie!"

I turned and saw Daniel, Teal'c and Jacob Carter standing behind us. Mom and dad let me go and I ran to them. Daniel was in tears as I jumped into his arms.

"Uncle Danny!"

Tears in his eyes, he hugged me tightly and gave me a kiss on the cheek. "You're alive!"

"You noticed that huh?" I grinned hugging him tightly.

He squeezed me. "You are getting to be more and more like your dad every day…ya little smart ass." He grinned before handing me to Teal'c.

When I looked into Teal'c's eyes, I wasn't prepared for the emotions I saw. Fear, love, anxiety, and worry. He leaned his forehead against mine.

"It is good to see you alive and well, Jessie." He gave me a brief hug before putting me down. Wow. That was definitely emotional for Teal'c.

I looked at mom's dad. He didn't say anything…just stared at me. I turned away and walked back to my parents. Dad picked me up and sat me on his lap.

(He doesn't like me)

(He doesn't know you…yet) - mom

(Your point being…what?)

(Don't worry about it baby. We like you) - dad

Dad grinned and I stuck my tongue out. I got tickled for that.

"Dad, quit it!" I complained.

The Nox came forward. One of the Nox said "You asked us what powers the child has." He looked directly at mom's dad.

Mom tensed. "Damn him."

Dad slid his arm around her waist and kissed her on the temple. "Easy baby."

Jacob caught the kiss and shook his head. "Yes, I did."

"There are several active powers and some dormant. The active powers are teleportation, telekinesis, telepathy, the ability to heal. She can also create a shield around herself and those she wishes to protect."

"Yeah, when I'm not scared shitless." I muttered, earning me a poke. I glared at the poker – dad. He stuck his tongue out at me. I returned the favor.

Mom rolled her eyes. "Oh for cryin' out loud, I don't have one child. I have two! Sheesh," she said with a proud smile.

We both stuck our tongues out at her. Daniel coughed to cover a laugh. Mom reached over and poked me in the ribs.

"Sam, pay attention." said Jacob sternly. Daniel and Teal'c were trying – unsuccessfully – to hide their grins. I stiffened because of the look of disapproval on Jacob's face, directed at me.

(He really doesn't like me now)

I turned and wrapped my arms around dad's neck burying my head in his shoulder, tears falling silently. My own grandfather didn't like me.

Mom put her hand on top of mine and squeezed it. She saw the pain in my eyes and, looking at her father angrily, stuck her tongue out at him before turning back to the meeting. I sniffled and giggled. Dad smirked. Jacob looked shocked.

The Nox continued. "She is also able to create a ball of energy more powerful than a blast from a Jaffa staff weapon." He turned to me. "Will you demonstrate this?"

I shook my head again. "No."

There were murmurs from everyone. Jacob had a triumphant look on his face. I knew what he was thinking. He was thinking I couldn't do it. But, I didn't care. I really didn't.

"Why not baby?" asked dad putting his chin on my shoulder.

"I don't wanna hurt anyone." I whispered, earning a strange look from Jacob. Showed how much he knew.

"You will not hurt anyone." said Lya. "We will make sure of that."

I sighed deeply and shook my head, knowing that I couldn't get out of this. I pushed off of dad's lap and stood, "Where do you want me?" I asked angrily.

"Where everyone can see you," she said.

I walked to the center of the arena. Turning, I saw Jacob whisper something to mom. She shook her head angrily.

(Mom) I thought helplessly.

She turned to look at me. (It's ok baby. Do what you have to do)

I held out my hand and felt the energy rise. I looked down and saw the familiar ball of light. I looked up at dad. He could see the fear in my eyes.

(It's ok baby. We're here…me and your mom)

I let the ball of energy fly towards the trees. I took a deep breath as Jacob said, "Get on it with." It reminded me of Simmons. Then he grabbed mom by the arm.

I snapped. "Let her go!" I screamed throwing out my hand towards Jacob. He flew backwards and landed about ten feet away with a thud. He didn't move. "No!" I screamed again. I ran over to him. I held my hands out and felt the familiar warmth and saw the glow. I healed him.

When he opened his eyes, he gasped "Holy Hannah! What happened?" His eyes rested on me.

"I'm sorry. I…I…I didn't mean to!" I orbed out from where I was standing.

They found me inside our hut, buried under the blankets. I'd put up my shield. I didn't want to hurt anyone else. Dad stepped forward and got a slight shock from the shield.

"Baby, let us in." he pleaded.

"Go away! I don't wanna hurt you!" I yelled, anguish in my voice. There was no way they couldn't have heard me.

"You won't hurt us. Let us in."

"No! Just go away!"

"Baby, please. Trust me. You won't hurt us." begged mom.

I knew against dad I couldn't win. I uncovered my head and looked at Jacob. He gasped at the pain in my eyes. "I told you. I told you I didn't want to do this." I let the shield drop and mom and dad stepped in. I automatically raised it again, as Jacob tried to step through. Mom pulled me onto her lap and held me as I cried helplessly…and hopelessly.

"This is why I don't want it…any of it."

"Jessie," said Jacob, "we had to test you. With your reluctance to use your powers, we knew you would only react if forced. We knew you would only react if you thought Jack and Sam were in danger."

"A test? Dad, have you lost your mind? You had no right! She's just a kid!" yelled mom.

"We had to Sam."

"Who? The Tok'ra? What do they have to do with this?"

"They wanted to know what her abilities are." he said.

"Well now you know." said dad angrily.

I turned to her. "I just wanna go home…please mama…please take me home." I cried.

She nodded and hugged me fiercely. "Ok baby. Daniel, dial us home."
