CHAPTER 2
"Mum is that dad?" Sam looked at the girl curiously, and then she and Jack looked at each other blankly. Once again Sam looked back at the girl. The girl opened her eyes fully and they nearly popped out of her head.
"Dad is that you? I thought you were…never mind you're here now." Jack was stunned. Not only did Sam have a kid, he did to, the same one.
Jack turned to the nurse behind them. "Can you call Dr Brightman and tell her the girls awake."
"Yes sir!" the nurse replied. Jack turned back to the girl.
"Hey. How are you feeling?" The girl was short breathed and was having trouble speaking.
"Dad, I've been better…are you both ok?" Sam and Jack shot looks at each other not sure as to why the girl was asking the question.
"Yes, why wouldn't we." Sam questioned.
The girl was now having a lot of trouble breathing. She started taking deep breaths before Brightman rushed in.
"Colonel, when did she wake up?" Sam looked at her watch and then replied.
"She woke up about five minutes ago when she heard that the General and I talking."
"Ok, let me check what's going on and you can come back in a minute." The girls head shot up.
"Mum dad, don't leave me here." The girl requested. Dr Brightman like Jack previously before, had a surprised look on her face. Although they didn't look as surprised as she did.
"Is there something you two aren't telling me?" Dr Brightman gazed suspiciously at the two after reading the report of the previous Za'tarc testing incident. Plus the automatic connection she saw between them since her first day on the base.
"We just found out as well." Jack informed her.
Dr Brightman turned to the girl. "Ok, what's your name, how old are you, a where were you born?" She asked in a controlling tone.
"Mum why is she asking me these questions? And why was she addressing you as colonel and dad as General?" the girl asked confusedly.
"Doctor, take it easy, she has been quite sick." Jack said in all seriousness.
The girl started breathing really heavy again and started crying. "I don't remember anything." The girl screamed as she started moving aggressively around her bed.
"Where's my mum? Where's my dad?" She yelled with more force. Just as she finished screaming, she fell in to a seizure. Sam and Jack were forcefully pushed from the isolation room into the hallway.
"She had better tell us what's going on soon, or she will be stuck here for a while and not where she is supposed to be." Dr Brightman said as Sam and Jack were aloud into to the isolation room. They resumed there seats from before sitting next to the now sleeping girl.
"We'll get the answers later." Sam said looking back down to her daughter and once again stroked the girl's hair from her face.
Jack and Sam sat there quietly looking down on the girl.
"She must have had something pretty bad done to her if she can't remember anything." Sam looked at her hands trying to once again find sense in the situation.
"Carter maybe they did to her what Hathor did to us and told her everybody was dead or she could have had a drug similar to the one we had when we were Jonah and Thera in the underground mines. My only question is why she only remembers us and nothing else. And why does she think I am a Colonel and you are a major?" Jack asked.
Sam just gave him a weak smile. "You know your dumb General act never fooled me." She said with a smirk.
"Yeah, just don't tell anyone." He responded.
"Anyway, to your question, I don't know. Anything is possible. The only option present at the time is waiting until she gets healthier so we can clarify some things. Also, before we do anything further, do you think we should get a DNA test to confirm it all?" Sam said quietly.
"Yeah we probably should with the DNA thing. But I can't stand her being like this, not being able to remember." Jack said.
"Do you have any idea's sir?" Sam asked, whilst Jack looked at her confused.
"No. Why?" He replied.
"Well, if she doesn't remember we could always call the Tok'ra and have access to the memory recall device." Sam suggested with strain in her voice.
"I don't think that is a good idea, it could cause her serious damage." Carter looked at Jack straight in the eyes and could see the emotions of fear appear.
"Sir we do have limited choices here." She said looking straight down at her daughter.
"Actually we could wait until she wakes up and she would tell us what she knows, cose she would believe we were her…" Jack was interrupted.
"That where what? Her parents."
"Well yes."
"Sir we would be lying to her."
By this stage everybody in the isolation room were staring at the couple arguing over the well being of this teenage girl who was there apparent daughter. They moved into Brightman's office.
"Alright, let's say we do this Carter, what would happen to her when she finds out what really happened?"
"Sir I don't know." Carter stated.
"Why don't we leave it for a few days and come back to it, and if she hasn't made any improvements we could take it into consideration." Jack suggested.
"Sir, I would not have suggested it if I didn't think it was necessary." She said sympathetically.
"I know Carter. I saw what happened to you and I saw how that tore you up and drained you emotionally and physically. I wouldn't want anybody to go through that unless there was absolutely no other way to solve the problem." Jack reached out and squeezed Sam's hand as he saw the memories of Jolinar flooding back to her.
"Sir it's just that I know what its like to have a certain feeling, but not remember where I felt that feeling, and I hate the fact that someone else would feel like that."
"C'mere," He said to her. She walked over to him and fell into his grasp. They held each other in a comfortable silence for a while.
