It seemed like hours since Dr. Janet Fraiser had kicked O'Neill and Carter out of the infirmary as she began to check up on her newest patients. "So do you think that what they were saying might be the truth, Carter?" Jack asked, as he sat down on a chair outside the infirmary. "That they are our kids."
"I don't know what to say, Sir," Carter said, as she leaned against the wall. "It could happen. We've all experienced being sent back in time. Maybe they are really from the future."
"A future where Apophis is still alive." The door to the infirmary opened and Janet walked out with a confused look on her face. "You all right, Doc?"
"Yes, Colonel," she began, as she sat ran her hands up her arms. "I'm fine and so are the children."
"Then's what's wrong, Janet?"
"They are your children. Their DNA matches us with yours. Jesse has something in her body that allow her to move fast and makes her stronger. The boy has them too, but he still is young, so they haven't activated yet. They both have been through a war, and have the scars to prove it."
"A war?" General Hammond asked, as he came up to them. "The girl is no more than sixteen years old and the boy six or seven. How can they have survived a war?"
"It's in their genes, Sir," O'Neill said, as Janet turned and left them. "It appears that those two squirts are our children. They are from the future and somehow caught a wormhole back here."
"Question them, and find out all you can about what they were running from."
"Yes, Sir." Hammond then left and they walked into the infirmary. "This shall be fun."
"I'm sure it will be, Sir," Carter rounded the corner only to freeze when she saw them both sitting on one of the beds, playing with a deck of cards. "I still can't put my finger around what they had said before. About getting the chance to meet Cassie's mom, when she could not. Are there no adults in their future?"
"I don't know, Carter. Why don't we go ask them." He grabbed onto a stool and sat down facing them. "Hi, how are you?"
"We're fine," Jesse said, as she continued to shuffle the cards. Her hands soon blurred and the cards went flying out of her hand. "For crying out loud, what else can happen to me now?" Janet shot O'Neill a look, as she came up to Jesse's side. "What do you want?"
"I'm just going to make sure that you are okay," Janet said, as she reached out to touch Jesse's arm only to graze a fresh wound. "Where did you get those wounds?"
"In battle." Jesse held her head up high with proud and that Ethan tried to do the same, but could not. She then ruffled his blonde hair and he began to pick up the cards.
"In battle with whom?" Carter asked, as she sat down on the edge of the bed.
"With Apophis."
"Really?"
"Yes, really. Why are you asking me such stupid questions? You know what he has done and what he's capable of doing. You have fought him many times in your past."
"Yeah, we did," Jack said, as he watched as Ethan began to shake from a seizure. "Carter."
"Ethan?" Jesse soon was at his side and he grabbed onto her hand, as she began to scan the room for something. "Where is the bag that I was carrying when I came through the gate?'
"It's right here," Janet said, as she offered it to Jesse, who simply grabbed it out of her hands and ripped it open. "You're welcome." Jesse pulled out a needle of an orange liquid and stabbed Ethan in the chest. "What are you doing?"
"Saving my brother's life." Ethan slowly began to stop shaking and Jesse smiled. "Something's wrong with his body. He's not growing at the rate that he should be. Nirrti made sure that we both wouldn't have a regular life."
"Nirrti?" Everybody asked, as they stared at each other. "She's alive. That can't be good."
"Yeah, she and Hathor love playing tricks on us. I was lucky enough to escape the slave camp with Ethan. There were so many others I had to leave behind."
"Nirrti and Hathor are working together?" Carter asked, as she ran a hand through her hair as she tried to work this out in her head. "They are total opposites of each other."
"They are working together to form the perfect host. We are their lab rats." Jesse helped Ethan up onto the bed and checked her bag. "We have to return to that camp in ten days or Ethan will die."
"What do you mean?" Janet asked, as she went over to Ethan's side and began to check him over. "He appears normal."
"I only have ten days supply of serum for him. Without it, he'll die."
"We won't allow that to happen," Jack said, as he got to his feet. "We'll figure something out."
"Like what?" Jesse asked, as she looked at him. "Finding us a way back to our time."
"We'll come to that bridge when we get to it. I'm sure that you and Carter can replicate the serum. Plus Ethan's in Doc's hands. She'll keep him alive."
"That makes me feel oh, so much better."
"Daniel?" Ethan cried out, forcing them all to spin around to face Daniel and Teal'c standing at the doorway. "Jesse, run." He jumped down from the bed, and ran to his sister's side. "That Apophis's first prime. He's found us. He's come to kill us."
"No," Daniel said, as he stepped in front of Teal'c. "He's on our side. He's one of the good guys." He then shot a curious look at Jesse and Ethan. "Who are they?"
"Daniel, Teal'c," Jack began while rubbing his hands together. "I want you to meet our kids, Jesse and Ethan. They are from the future."
"What?"
"They're our kids from the future."
