The Missing Child
Disclaimer: I own dit squat. They all belong to Scifi and that whole crew. I just own Jesslyn and Bekah. After that I own nothing else and am not aiming to gain any money off of this.
Chapter 1: The Return
At Alpha Site...
She looked on with a sense of awe and fear at what stood before her, this thing they referred to as a 'stargate'. A peculiar name, she thought as it did not look like any gate she had ever seen. But regardless her guide said that they must go through it to reach their destination, as it was to far to go by ship. But still her logical mind could not piece together how this marvel could be possible.
She turned to her guide "were going through that?"
"Yes Jesslyn," her guide replied.
"Were going to travel across the galaxy through a... a... puddle?!"
"It only appears to be water, your just going to have to trust me."
Jesslyn through him a skeptical look, "ok then," she replied after taking a deep breath.
As they stepped into this 'puddle' it was the most exhilarating feeling she'd ever felt in her life. And that was saying something.
In the gate room...
When they got to the other side the first word out of her mouth was "woah...". As the sensations of not only arriving but of the place where she now stood finally hit her.
Her guide just smiled bemusedly as she followed him down the ramp towards the people who awaited them at the bottom. Jesslyn stood back aways just taking in everything around her while the people greeted her guide. These people seemed somewhat familiar to her though she couldn't quite place it, and as it didn't seem that important she didn't dwell on it to much.
She was pulled out of her daydream state by the sound of her guide calling her over.
"Jesslyn I'd like you to meet Doctor Daniel Jackson," gesturing to the man who held his hand out to her, she shook it as her guide turned her attention to the woman beside him. "And Major Samantha Carter," after she was done shaking Sam's hand. Her guide addressed her again "Sam's gonna take you to the infirmary where the doctor's going to check you out make sure you don't have any problems, ok?"
"Ok," Jesslyn replied as she was led away by Sam.
In the infirmary...
Sam led her over to a bed like thing and had her sit before saying "I'll be right back I have to talk to the doctor, k?"
Jesslyn just nodded her head as Sam walked off. As Sam walked up to another woman who'd just come in, she could hear them whispering and the new woman kept looking at her as if she was some weird creature, it was quite disconcerting.
When they were done talking they walked back over to the 'bed' and the new woman introduced herself as Dr. Janet Frasier before giving her an exam.
After the exam Sam led her to what would serve as her room while she was on the 'base', as she now knew it.
"In your rooms a new change of clothes, and the messhalls just down the hall and through the door if you get hungry." Sam told her as they reached their destination.
"Ok," replied Jesslyn trying to cope with everything since it was all happening so fast.
"Anything else you think you'll need?" queried Samantha.
Jesslyn just shook her head no.
"Ok then, well I'll see you later," said Sam as she walked away.
"Yeah later," whispered Jesslyn after her. -Well you can't just stand in the corridor now can you, just go in-, -I know I know just give me a minute- she argued with herself. After taking a deep breath she turned the knob and walked in. -Nice...- she thought -much better than those lowsy things they call shelters.-
Back to Carter...
"How old is she dad?" queried Sam.
"She's only fifteen but we found her when she was 12. She was small for her age, but boy has she grown. She's going to be really surprised when she finds out she really was a human captured from her home on earth" replied Jacob. "She was one of a handful that were kidnapped and given mixed symbiotes, we have yet to find out what was hoped to be accomplished by this. But anyway she does have a father here on earth, albeit adoptive."
"She does? Who?" asked a very surprised Sam.
"Jack O'Neill." Were the only words he spoke as he let this bit of information sink in. Sam for her part just stared at him incredulously and finally glanced down the hall to Jesslyn's door before turning back to her father. "Does he know she's here?" she asked.
"Not yet I figured I could drop the news to him whenever I found him. Which reminds me, have you seen him?" he replied
"Jack's up in my lab probably annoying the crew up there. Why don't I tell him what's going on. It might be better if I do the talking here."
"Go on ahead I'll see you later and we can get something to eat."
In the lab...
Jack was sitting on one of the stools, looking at some specimen that his 21C had been working on, completely oblivious to what was going on around him.
A look of amusement passed over Sam's face when she saw him there with this look of intense concentration on his face. She glanced around the lab at her crew who caught the unspoken message and 'got lost.' After they were all gone she sneaked up behind Jack leaned over his shoulder and whispered in his ear "hey there."
Jack for his part nearly jumped out of his skin and she had to jump back to avoid his hitting her as he sat up so abruptly. Finally realizing it was her he started to breath normally again, "I thought I told you to stop doing that one of these days your gonna give me a heartattack." He said with a teasing amusement in his voice. "I'm sorry but I just couldn't resist," she replied.
"Well now that you've had your fun was there a reason you're here or did you come just to scare me?" he asked.
"Actually I have a few questions for you?" she replied in all seriousness.
"Ok I'm listening."
"You do know my dad got here a bit ago right?"
"Yes."
"And you know he had a visitor with him, right?"
"Ahuh, come on what's up here you act like you just contracted some major disease or something."
"Well I was wondering did you happen to have another child besides Charley?" she asked a bit cautiously.
He straightened from his relaxed position at this, "and this is your buisness why?..."
"If you did have another kid besides Charley, I'm fine with it. It's just..."
"Oh come on what ever your gonna say just say it... yes I had another child besides Charley by adoption though if you must know."
"Was it by any chance a girl?"
"Yes. Now what the hell is goin on here?!" he said frustrated.
"Sir, your daughter is here on base as a guest of my father, coming to find hers." Sam said as quickly and quietly as possible.
Suddenly all the color drained from Jack's face in total disbelief and he would have fallen off the stool in an almost dead faint if Samantha hadn't grabbed him.
