10?
A/N: I changed the length that Greta had been hired, in chapter five, from three months to four, as I needed to twins to be six months old. Anyway…on with the story!
Daniel walked in the house with the biggest grin he'd had for a long time. His date, Kelsey, was an energetic woman with bright green eyes and dark brown hair. She'd sparked something in him that he hadn't felt since Sha're. He didn't think anything could ruin his mood tonight, nor until he saw her again on Friday.
Until he saw Sam on the couch, curled up around a blanket and rocking back and forth. Figuring she was rocking a baby back to sleep, which would explain all the lights being off at nine o'clock, Daniel tiptoed to her. He felt guilty for not being there to put the babies' to bed, but he'd lost track of time. Daniel heard little sobs and knew that it was not a baby crying, as he had each of their cries memorized. When he rounded the corner he saw Sam, without baby. She was rocking herself back and forth, sobbing into a pillow. Daniel knelt in front of her and touched her shoulder gently. "Sam?" He asked.
Sam looked up at him and threw her arms around his neck, seeking comfort. Daniel, who had no idea what was wrong, hugged her tightly as she cried on his shoulder.

Jon was eating his dinner in the courtyard of the hospital when his ring caught a ray of sunshine and brought his eyes down to it. He dropped his fork in the grass as he was bombarded with images. He saw a pretty blond giving him a look full of desire, then the same blond grinning at him. He saw a reply their marriage, watched her cry as she said she would marry him. "Sam." He said quietly. He stood up from the ground and rushed into Dr. Ralk's office. "Doc!" He shouted as he barged in.
Dr. Ralk looked up at him with a displeased look. "I'm in a meeting Jon."
"My name's Jack!" He shouted excitedly. "And I'm married to Sam!"
Dr. Ralk asked if they could talk alone, and his friend nodded, then left, closing the door behind him.
"Look, I'm sorry to barge in here like that-"
Dr. Ralk put a hand up to stop him. "It's all right Jon-Jack. Please, sit down." Jack obeyed, slinking into the chair. "Now, tell me all that you remember."
"I'm a Colonel in the United States Air Force and my name is Jonathan "Jack" O'Neill. I'm a member of SG-1. We travel through the Stargate trying to make alliances with other cultures."
"What's the name of your planet?"
"Earth." Jack answered.
"Have you remembered everything?"
Jack nodded. "I remember that Sam was pregnant when I left. He must be five or six months old by now." Jack said sadly, realized that he'd missed his baby's birth. "I wonder what she named him. Or even if the baby was a him."
Dr. Ralk listened without interrupting Jack. He wanted to know as much about "Earth" as possible.
After about an hour Jack left Dr. Ralk's with the promise of being sent home tomorrow. Dr. Ralk had to get clearance for the travel, as the Stargate was not used but for emergencies. Jack went back to his room and began to pack the few items he had gathered since he'd been on the planet. There wasn't much, but he didn't care. He was going home.
Realizing it was late; Jack lay down after packing and tried to sleep. Pictures of Sam kept popping into his mind, making it very difficult to doze off. Jack thought of everyone he knew, from Daniel and Teal'c to Sara and Ol' Doc Frasier. Jack smiled at the thought of being under her care again. He could only imagine what tests she'd put him through after being gone for a year.
