Chapter 2: Discoveries Made
Last time...
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.
Back to Jesslyn...
She woke up disoriented to the sight of a slightly familiar person sitting on the chair next to the bed. She was startled at first but then she realized who it was and remembered where she was. She swallowed and reached her arms out for him as she said "Daddy."
Jack O'Neill nearly started to cry when he embraced his little girl for the first time in the four days since Jacob Carter had brought her to the SGC. She'd been asleep for a long time, but Janet had said that her body needed the time to recuperate after all that she'd been through.
Jacob and Sam came into the room as soon as they heard that Jess was awake.
"How is she?" Sam asked when she saw that Jesslyn was awake and looking around the room.
"She's been doing better since she woke up a little bit ago." replied her very happy father.
"Jack, I need to talk to you about something... Can we go outside?" said Jacob, seriously.
"Sure thing. Jess, this is Sam. She's my friend here." He told his daughter.
"Could you stay with her for a bit while I talk to your dad?" Jack asked Sam.
Already knowing what this talk was going to be about, Sam quickly agreed and let Jack and Jacob leave the room while she stayed and talked to Jesslyn.
"Jacob what's going on? You sounded pretty serious about something in there." said a slightly worried Jack.
"Jack, there's something I need to tell you about. The reason your daughter took so long to wake up is that... well... theres just no other way to put it..." he swallowed before continuing, "she has a symbiote in her, a mixed symbiote... Do you remember the night Jess was kidnapped?"
"Yes." said Jack, shivering as the remembrance of tucking his little girl into her bed that night and finding out the next morning that she was gone. "That day scared me. I never want to go through that again."
"Jesslyn was kidnapped, but not by a human, by Jaffa working for Nirrti. She experimented on Jesslyn and a few others giving them all mixed Goauld/Tok'ra symbiotes. The effects on them were disastrous. Jesslyn was the only one who managed to escape from the camp and run away, and was able to find somewhere safe to be before Nirrti caught up to her." replied Jacob.
"She found yal, right?" finished Jack.
"Yes, and we did our best to keep her hidden. She was safeguarded for 3 years, until we realized that she couldn't be kept there any longer. I was selected to bring her home... to her father." At that, Jack looked in the window at his daughter, who was laughing with Sam about something she had said. "What can we do? Will she be able to be separated?" Jack asked with a tinge of worry to his voice.
Selmac came through and gave Jack their answer. "It is unknown at this time if anything can be done for the child. All that can be done at the moment is to try and bring her back into society, if at all possible."
Meanwhile, back with Sam and Jesslyn...
Sam started to say something to Jesslyn when Jess interrupted and said, "You know my father?" Sam looked right at the child and grinned. "Yeah, I've known him for several years actually. But I never knew he had a daughter. I only knew about Charlie and what happened to him... Your dad said he adopted you. Where from?"
"I'm originally from Australia with a little bit of American blended in. One of my birth parents was American who took me to Australia after I was born. Dad adopted me when I was 5 and brought me to live here in Colorado, before the... incident." Jesslyn said sadly as she tried to forget the frightening events that separated her and her father for eight years. "I'm very glad to be back. But I'm a bit scared about meeting with General Hammond. Do I really have to go?"
"We need to know what happened to you in the years you were missing. It might be painful but I think your friends here might be able to help you make it." said Sam as she nodded to the symbiote that was attached to Jesslyn's lower spinal column. "Come to think of it, I haven't met your friends. Mind if I do?"
"Not at all. Hold on a sec." said Jesslyn. Her head bent down as one of the personalities came to the surface. Jess looked up. "My name is..."
A/N: Got any ideas on a name? I actually need two.
