Chapter 3
Janet and Sam entered the infirmary, to find Emily sitting up, arguing with a nurse. "I'm not tired! I think I've slept enough! Just- Janet!"
Janet walked over to the bed with Sam right behind. "What's the problem here?" she asked, placing her hands on her hips.
"Dr. Fraiser, she won't rest!" the nurse complained, she looked as if she was going to start crying any minute.
"It's okay right now, go ahead and… do something else." Janet said.
The nurse nodded, she looked at Emily once more then walked out of the room.
Emily looked up at Janet, slightly embarrassed. "Sorry…" she muttered.
Janet nodded. "It's okay. Emily, I'd like you to meet Major Samantha Carter, Sam, this is Emily."
"Hi major." Emily said shyly.
Sam smiled. "Call me Sam." She moved closer to the bed and sat on the edge of it. "So, how old are you?"
"Me?" Emily asked, surprised.
"No, I'm talking to Janet… of course you!"
Emily grinned. "I'll be twelve in a week." She said.
"Okay, so, how'd you get here Emily?" Sam asked, staring into her eyes as if she was trying to tell if she was lying.
"I don't know!" Emily said seriously. "All I remember is, I was walking my dog, as usual, I let him run off for a few minutes, I called him, he didn't come, I found him digging something up, I picked it up, it was some kind of a rock or something th-" she was cut off by Sam.
"This?" Sam asked holding up the purple-gray triangle device.
Emily nodded. "Yeah, anyways, then I saw a bunch of pictures, I found a circle stone or something, it looked cool, then I found myself here with some big dude charging at me."
Sam nodded. "Yeah, that was Teal'c." She smiled. "Thank you." Getting off of the bed and walking over to Janet. "So, is she even human?"
Janet nodded. "Yes, as far as I can tell, I have to wait until I get the rest of the scans before I can be sure…" she said. "Did she tell you anything else about how she got here?"
Sam shook her head. "No," she replied as she began to fiddle around with the device. "Not really, she said… she said that she touched something, pictures…" she trailed off.
Janet looked up at her. "Sam? What are you doing?" Sam didn't move a muscle, she stared straight at the small screen on the triangle. "Sam?" she asked, beginning to worry. Suddenly, Sam was gone… "SAM!"
-
Sam shook her head. "Whoa!" she jumped back as she found herself in front of the Stargate. She heard the sounds of guns coaching, she slowly turned around to find twenty or so guns aimed straight for her. And one very confused General. "It works!" she said happily.
-
Sam sighed. "I'm really sorry sir, I didn't even know it would work. Next time I 'play' with technology, I'll let you know first."
General Hammond. "Thank you Major, dismissed."
Sam nodded. "Yes sir." She turned and left the room.
-
"It works sir!" Sam said happily. "I-"
"I wasn't aware that it worked, Major." He said sarcastically.
Sam sighed. "I'm sorry sir." She said. "I- I just think… never mind."
Jack nodded and picked up the small device and began to toss it back and fourth in his hands. "So, how does it work?"
Sam quickly reached over and rescued it from him. You press this and pictures appear on a screen, you focus on one and it will take you there."
"Hmm… cool," Jack muttered. "Okay, well, I'm going to go check on the kid, wanna tag along?"
Sam shook her head, not looking up from the device. "No, I need to run some tests on this sir."
Jack rolled his eyes and walked out of the room…

Emily sat on the bed, looking positively bored. "Doc F? May I please get up now, please?" she begged, her hands clasped together. She crawled onto her knees. "Please, please, please?"
Janet looked over at her. "No!" she scowled.
"Good mornin' campers!" came a cheery voice from the doorway.
Emily looked up at the stranger walking into the room. "Who are you?" she asked curiously.
Jack smiled and came closer; he leaned closer to her ear. "Your worst nightmare…"
She grinned. "No, really, who are you?"
Jack smiled. "Name's Jack… I hear your Emily, nice to meet you."
"Nice to meet you too." She replied. "So, what are you? A general or something?"
"Nope, not exactly, Colonel Jack O'Neill, at your service." He saluted her. "So, where'd you find the stone anyways?"
Emily rolled her eyes. "In Giza, where else?"
Jack shook his head. "Never been to Giza before."
Emily stared at him, astonished. "Are you serious? You have never been there? I practically live there! I-" she said when she was interrupted by a loud speaking throughout the SGC.
"UNSCHEDULED OFF-WORLD ACTIVATION!"
"Excuse me," Jack said before hurrying out of the room. He hurried towards the control room and stared down at the screen. "Who is it?"
Walter waited for a single. "It's SG-5 sir." He announced.
"Daniel's team…" Sam added hurrying into the room.
General Hammond nodded. "Open the iris." He ordered.
Walter nodded and opened the iris. Staff blast filled the air below. Jack hurried down to the embarkation and watched anxiously for the five men to appear. A Jaffa entered and the guards quickly shot him down. Suddenly the men appeared in the room; they quickly fell down to the ramp. "CLOSE THE IRIS!" Daniel shouted.
"Close the iris!" General Hammond shouted, he quickly ran down to the embarkation room to see Jack helping Daniel up. "Dr. Jackson, are you alright?"
Daniel nodded and touched his arm. "Just a little scratched up sir, I'll be fine."
Sam and Teal'c ran into the room, looking worried. They saw Daniel standing, looking well enough. "Daniel!" Sam called, hurrying over to him and giving him a small hug. "I'm glad you're okay, what happened?"
"Hey Sam, Teal'c, Jack… good to see you all again, it seems like for-" he stopped when he heard a gasp. Turning to his right, he saw a young girl standing not far behind Teal'c, looking unbelievably like someone he knew… "Emily?" he asked in shock.
Emily stared wide-eyed at him, not moving for a moment, she looked over him, yep, it was him… "D- Daniel?"
Daniel gave a half smile. "What's going on Jack?" he asked. Emily stared up at him as if he had three ears. Daniel looked bewildered. "Umm, guys, what's going on? Why's she here?"
Jack stepped between Emily and Daniel. "You know her?" he asked, gesturing towards Emily.
Daniel nodded then shook his head slightly. "I knew her parents, and well, I sorta knew her. Her parents supported me even after my 'pyramid' speech. After I had got back from Abydos, they had moved and I-"
"We thought you were dead." Emily blurted out, sounding sad and disappointed.
Daniel snapped his attention to Emily. "What?"
Emily nodded, not moving her eyesight. "The government… they said that you had died, that you were dead, doing some secret archeology mission. Dad did everything in his power to try and find out what happened to you! And here you are! Alive! And you never once contacted us to let us know you're okay?" she shouted angrily. "NOT ONCE!"
Daniel cleared his throat and took a step closer to her, making her take a step back. "Emily, I thought it would be better if I-"
"Well you thought wrong! Or you didn't think at all!"
Janet came rushing into the room. "Emily! What are you doing in here?" she demanded.
Emily turned to face her. "… I-" was all she managed to say before she hit the ground.
