CHAPTER 5!
Sam had made her way down to her office. There was a note on the door.
Sam,
Ally and I are having lunch at 1300 and were wondering if you would like to join us in the infirmary?
Daniel.
Sam looked at her watch and took the note and decided she would go to the infirmary, she wasn't going to pass the chance up and she was feeling a little famished.
When she reached the infirmary Dr Brightman was checking Ally's vitals making everything was as normal as it could be.
"Doc, how's the patient?" Sam asked with a warm smile looking at her sleeping daughter.
"Colonel she is improving more and more. It is like she has a gene that helps her repair any damage that is caused a lot quicker then anybody else normally would." Brightman informed as she wrote down her discoveries.
"Like a symbiote?" Daniel asked intrigued as Sam took a seat next to Ally on her bed.
"Not quite, but she does have a protein marker that I guess she inherited from you. Maybe that has something to do with it, but it doesn't affect you. I just don't know, although I sure would like to find out." Brightman stated as she exited the room.
Daniel then asked the nurses for some time alone with Sam so he excused them out of the room.
"What's going on Daniel?" Sam looked suspiciously at him.
"Well I have an interesting question for you."
"Daniel?" Sam was now looking nervous and Daniel could see that.
"Ok…well you and Jack will have to do a lot of explaining to do when well everybody knows about this."
"Daniel I think everybody knows anyway."
"That's not what I mean."
"Then what do you mean Daniel?"
"Well, there have been rumors circulating around the base for ages about you two, and now this." He said nervously wondering if she was going to fight or argue with him.
"Well, weirder things have happened." She shrugged.
"No I don't think so."
"Well we'll try our best to sort out everything and hope for the best I guess and hope that it doesn't get to the point that we can't trust each other with secrets."
"What are you talking about?" Daniel asked getting quite curious in what she was talking about.
"Nothing important, just we have to keep this between ourselves for the time being. Ok?"
"It's probably for the best anyway. Hey, if she sticks around a little longer, we could introduce her to Cassie." Daniel suggested.
"Yeah I think she might like to talk to someone her own age."
"We'll get Cass in here on Saturday if Ally's still around."
"Don't worry, she will be." Sam replied as Daniel headed towards the door.
"I'll go get some food from the commissary, be back in 10." Daniel stated.
"Ok."
Sam took her daughter's hand and sat there quietly watching her sleeping state. She watched as her eyes stirred and the way her dimples in her face lit up as she dreamed. It reminded her of Jack, and brought a smile to her face. On that note, she drifted into a light slumber.

Jack arrived in the infirmary after detouring to Carter's lab and making a slight stop in the commissary. When he walked in he found Ally asleep and Sam holding her hand and looked as if she had just dozed off. She had not slept since Ally had arrived which had been 3 days now. Jack pulled up a chair next to her.
Jack sat there and watched her sleep for a good 3 minutes before Sam's eyes fluttered open.
"Morning sunshine," Jack said with a grin.
"Hey."
"Good sleep?"
"Not really, but at least it was sleep." Sam said as she wiped her eyes.
"Tonight, you're going home or you can stay on the base if you want to I am just suggesting you get some sleep."
"Is that an order?" She teased.
"No I told you I wouldn't do that."
"I was kidding, plus you can order me around anytime I'm on the base anyway." She said.
"I know, but it just wouldn't be fair."
Sam reached over and placed her hand on his cheek.
"Ah…camera," he pointed,
"its pointing the other way." He leaned in and gave her a tender kiss. Carter pulled back as she heard the camera move.
"And now its back." She started to laugh.
"I should really start to get some work done while she's asleep."
"Isn't Daniel coming with food?"
"Yeah, however I'm not actually that hungry at the moment, and I think he has gotten side tracked anyways since he said he would be here about an hour ago, so I'm sure he won't mind."
"Well, you go do whatever it is you do and I'll watch her. Anyway she kind of looks like you when she's asleep." He supposed.
Carter started walking out the room, "I thought she actually looked like you sir." She giggled.
Jack turned and watched his daughter sleep. So calm, so peaceful, not a care in the world. He thought to himself that's how all kids should be. Jack was still coming to terms that he was a father again after loosing Charlie all those years ago. All of a sudden he saw Ally's eye lids flutter and she awoke. Ally was distraught and unaware of her surroundings. Then her eyes met her fathers and found a sense of calmness again.
