18?

Jack walked into the "hospital" room. On the bed was a woman who looked to be about thirty. She had curly red hair and when she saw Jack she smiled. "They call me Simone." She said, holding a badly bruised hand out to Jack.

Jack stepped toward her, extending his hand out to hers. "Dr. O'Neill." He told her.

"How long have I been out?" She asked.

Jack sat down next to her, aware that his every move and word was being monitored. "A couple of months." He gave her a look over. "We found you by the Stargate, bruised and unconscious."

She nodded. "That's what Dr. Ralk told me." She looked out the window. Jack now knew that the scene outside the window was as much of a fake as the bed she was lying in. Everything he'd experienced the past two years was a fake.

"Do you remember anything?"

She shook her head sadly. "Nothing."

Jack studied her for a moment. She looked pale and fragile. She was covered in bruises and her eyes were puffy from punches. She turned back to him and caught him staring at her. She blushed and he mumbled an apology.

"I'm hideous, aren't I?"

"No, not at all." He lied.

"You're sweet, but I know you're lying."

Jenki walked in with a tray in her hands. "Time to eat Simone. After lunch we'll see if we can't get that brain jumpstarted." He smiled at her as he left. Jenki looked up at gave Jack a smile, but he glared at her. He refused to pretend to be friends with anyone.

Ralk had met him in the hallway. "You did very well Jack. She has your trust now." Jack started to walk past him but stopped at Ralk's next words. "She's pregnant Jack."

He turned to face the loathsome man. "How far along?"

"One month." Ralk smiled.

"But she's been here for five." Jack said. Comprehension dawned on Jack's face. "You bastard!" He shouted, lunging at Ralk.

…

Daniel's cell phone went off and Kelsey's sighed. He looked at the caller ID and gave Kelsey an apologetic smile. "It's Sam."

Kelsey rolled her eyes. "You don't have to answer it."

But it was too late. He already had. "Hi Sam." Kelsey grumbled and got off the couch to get a drink. When she came back from the kitchen she saw Daniel putting his coat on. He looked at her sheepishly. "Jonathan won't go to sleep and he keeps hollering for me."

Kelsey shook her head. "No. No. No. You are not leaving here to go to her."

Daniel frowned. "I'm not going to her, I'm going to him."

"They aren't your kids Daniel."

Deciding to ignore her last comment he went to kiss her goodnight. She backed away from him. "Goodnight Kel." He said quietly.

"If you leave, don't come back."

He turned to look at her, shock covering his face. "That's not fair."

"This isn't fair!"

"He's not even two Kelsey!"

"It's not just the kids and you know it."

Daniel stared at her for a moment, then turned to leave. Kelsey didn't stop him. He climbed into his car and buckled his seat belt. Turning his engine on, Daniel looked up at Kelsey's apartment one last time before driving home.

Upon walking into the babies' room Daniel heard loud cries. When he appeared through the doorway Jonathan ran up to him and Daniel knelt down to pick the boy up. He rocked him back and forth and smoothed his hair down. Jonathan had stopped crying the moment he saw Daniel, but he was still holding on tightly to his shirt. Daniel looked over at Sam and asked what had happened.

"I don't know. He just kept crying and hollering for you." She said. She was sitting in the rocking chair holding a sleepy J.D. "He couldn't get to sleep with Jonathan crying." She explained.

After a few more moments both boys' breathing had slowed and they were placed in their cribs. Daniel followed Sam out the door and they went to the living room. "I'm sorry to have called during your date. I held off as long as I could."

Daniel shrugged. "It's ok."

"How mad was she?"

Daniel avoided looking at Sam. "She was…uh…pissed actually."

"I'm sorry." Sam said guiltily. Daniel shrugged again. He didn't want to make her feel even worse by telling her that they'd broken it off.
