CHAPTER 4!

Sam was in the arms of her daughter and her CO/fiancé. It felt right. Once again she didn't want to move away from the arms of Jack. He made her feel safe and warm, something she realized that Pete could never had made her feel like that.

As they were all getting comfortable to where the situation had leaded them, the door flung open with Daniel staring at what was going on.

"Guys, the test are positive…wow,"

Jack and Sam scrambled to there feet. Sam didn't want to give an explanation to Daniel and she just didn't know how to react to the circumstance.

"I'll be right back; I just have a lot of work to catch up on. Ally I'll see ya later." Sam walked towards the door not looking back.

"Jack?"

"Not now Daniel, Ally, I'll be back in an hour, ok?" he headed towards the door.

"Ok dad, I'll just wait here with Daniel." She sighed as Daniel sat next to her on the bed.

"It'll be alright, you'll be able to remember soon enough." He said.

"I hope so, I don't understand why they are not being them, and do you get what I'm saying?" She asked contently.

"I think I do." He supposed.

"Carter wait up!" Jack started running after her. He caught up to her at the elevator.

"Carter wait!" He said running out of breath.

"What?"

"What are you doing running off like that?"

"Well, obviously Daniel is now going to start asking questions, and I don't think I'm up to that."

"General O'Neill and Colonel Carter to the briefing room," was echoed around the base as they both stepped inside the elevator.

"We weren't doing anything wrong." Jack muttered.

"I know, I just believe with the existing circumstances it's would be a necessity to be a bit more careful."

"Ok." He retorted.

"That's it?"

"What were you expecting, an argument?"

"No. Just I considered you would have been a bit more…I don't know, different."

"What do you mean?"

"Well I just thought that the commanding officer act would continue, but it doesn't. You treat me like and equal. I've never had that I guess."

"Well, I never want you to think otherwise. I would never treat you like anything smaller than me. You are one in a trillion you know," Jack smiled.

"Just to be sure, there are no microphones on those cameras?" He asked with a grin.

"Why'd you want to know Jack O'Neill?"

"I'll take that as a no." He responded as he leaned against the wall.

"I Love you, you know. I think I always will." He teased.

"You think?"

"Oh, I know."

Just then the elevator came to an end and the doors opened. The two exited the lift and headed to the briefing room.

The two entered wondering what the big deal was. Before them was standing General Hammond and Major Davis.

"Take a seat," General Hammond told them.

"Yes sir." They replied with relative ease.

"So what's up?" Jack questioned after a long silence, growing weary of the situation.

"Well, I was just wondering how you and Colonel are handling everything and what we have learned in the matter." The general asked taking a seat opposite the two and next to Davis.

"Right, well we have learned that she is our daughter DNA test came back positive and that she has amnesia for the time being, but she vaguely remembers me dying. She seems to be traumatized by it. And her name is Ally." Jack said bluntly.

General Hammond nodded. "Do you have any idea where she is from?" Major Davis asked.

"Not yet, but we're working on it. She is very badly beaten up and is suffering extreme exhaustion. Each time we have a break-through; she gets really drained and falls asleep. General this possibly will take a while before we actually expose anything." Carter said trying to sound hopeful.

Jack was twiddling his thumbs thinking about telling the General that they were engaged. A smirk appeared on his face as he was thinking what the general's face would look like.

"Jack, are you ok?" George asked

"What…yes sir?" Jack jumped out of his thought process.

Hammond shook his head wondering what the hell Jack was thinking about. Sam just looked at him and looked away having a pretty fair idea of what was going through his mind.

"Well, keep us informed on any new information you find out." Hammond asked.

"Yes sir!" They replied concurrently.

"Colonel dismissed." Carter stood up and left the room heading for her office and leaving Jack in the briefing room with Hammond and Davis.

"What can I do for you gentlemen?" Jack inquired.

"General, General." Davis got up and left the room to go to the control room.

"Dismissed" Hammond waved off the airmen.

"What's going on George?" He asked now getting very worried.

"Jack, how is Colonel Carter actually doing?" He questioned.

Jack cleared his throat. "Um…no offence sir but why don't you ask her?"

"Jack, don't play games."

"I'm sorry sir?"

"Colonel Carter won't tell anybody but you whether she is ok or not and you know that."

"Ok…well I guess she's fine. She hasn't said or done anything otherwise."

"Good."

"I have a question."

"Yes Jack." George said with a grin on his face.

"Why is it that I'm in charge base and I am still reporting to you?" Jack said sarcastically as he was walking out the door of the briefing and George let out a slight chuckle.

A/N: Well that's it for chapter 4. I hope you enjoyed it; I will hopefully post another chapter soon. Please keep reviewing it is greatly appreciated.
