23?

Jack gave Daniel a huge smile. He didn't notice Daniel's hesitation before he came forward and hugged Jack. "Good to see you Danny."

"Good to see you too Jack." Daniel said, forcing a smile on his face. He looked at Sam and his heart fell. She looked ecstatic about Jack being home, but also worried about Daniel. Daniel gave her a small smile, then turned back to Jack. "What happened?"

Jack squeezed Sam's hand as he retold his story. "You remember Blue?"

Daniel nodded, absently scratching his left shoulder where his scar was.

Jack told Daniel about how 'Blue' was actually Fyger. Jack told Daniel about losing his memory, about regaining it and discovering that Fyger and his partner were doing experiments on humans. "I don't even think the Gou'ald are that bad Daniel. At least they kill you quickly."

Daniel, thankful that they'd let him go, patted Jack's back comfortably. Before he could say anything though, Janet had walked back over. "You're free to go Colonel." She smiled at Jack. "Gen. Hammond would like to see you in a couple of days." She looked at Sam. "You're off for a while too."

Sam nodded, helping Jack off of the bed.

As they drove home Sam debated on how to tell Jack about Daniel. "Jack, there's something I have to tell you."

Jack looked at her, wondering what could possibly make her so nervous. He reached out and took her right hand, squeezing it gently. "Are you ok?" He asked.

Sam nodded. "I'm fine Sir." She closed her eyes and sighed at her blunder. "Jack." She said quietly. She looked at him briefly. Perhaps telling him this wasn't a good idea while she was driving, but she had to continue. "Daniel's been living at the house since the kids were born."

Jack was speechless. He knew Daniel would help take care of Sam and their kids, but to have an affair with her? "Maybe I should just stay at base." He said, unable to take the disappointment out of his voice.

"No, Jack-" Sam pulled into their driveway. She was about to explain when Greta emerged from the front door, holding two crying boys. "That's Greta." Sam told Jack quickly before getting out of the car. She rushed to the nanny and gathered the boys in her arms. They calmed down immediately when she held them. She looked over at Jack who had just gotten out of the car. "Jack, this is Jonathan Murray," She said, pointing her head towards the older twin. "And this is Jacob Daniel, or J.D. as we call him." Sam looked at Greta. "That's Colonel Jonathan O'Neill, my husband."

Greta stepped to him and extended her hand. "You have an amazing family Sir."

Jack offered her a smile that didn't quite reach his eyes. "Thank you. Though I didn't have anything to do with it."

"Greta, thank you for watching them. I've actually got the next few days off."

"That's great. I've been wanting to go visit my sister." She kissed each of the boys bye before heading to her car. "It was nice to meet you Colonel O'Neill."

"You too Greta." Jack said.

After Greta had pulled off Sam looked back at Jack. "We should get them inside." She walked inside, unsure on if Jack would follow her.

Jack stood on his lawn for a few moments, contemplating what he should do. With a deep sigh, he decided to go inside and meet his children properly. Then, after they were in bed, he'd ask Sam what she had been doing while he was gone.
