Previously on Stargate SG-1...

"We found Hassan."
-
"Hassan lied to you."

"Why?" he whispered.

"He wouldn't say. He WILL return Sam to her normal state though."

"But Jacob... she's happy."
-
Jacob stopped him. "Today is Saturday Jack. Hassan will preform the procedure Monday."
-
Jack stared at the broken plate for several moments before getting the broom. As he swept the pieces up, he couldn't help but think that is was the perfect symbolism of his life right now.

And now the continuation...

Lips pressed against his cheek and forehead repeatedly.

"Jackkk" a voice called, "Time to get up!"

"Sam. Go to sleep."

"But Jack-"

He grabbed the alarm clock. "It's 3:00 a.m!"

She looked apologetic. "I couldn't sleep... can I sleep with you?"

He nodded. She grinned and scrambled under the covers. "Do I have to go off world tomorrow?" she whispered.

"I thought you wanted to hon-"

"I heard Daddy Jacob." she whispered, "What's going to happen to me?"

"Nothing Sam." he tilted to her chin and looked into her eyes, "I promise, nothing bad is going to happen to you. Now, have I ever lied to you?"

She shook her head.

"C'mon, it's early."

He was almost asleep when the little girl whispered something in his ear.

"I love you Jack O'Neill." and with that, the little girl fell asleep.

Daniel sat in the commissary staring into his cold coffee cup.

"Daniel Jackson?"

He looked. "Hey Teal'c" he said wearily.

"Are you unable to rest?"

Daniel shrugged and shifted his gaze back to his coffee.

Teal'c silently removed the mug, dumped the liquid into the sink and brought his a fresh cup.

"Thanks."

Teal'c looked at him carefully. "What is wrong Daniel?"

Daniel looked at him curiously. "You just called me Daniel."

Teal'c's expression clearly said, 'So?'

"You always call me Daniel Jackson."

Teal'c looked exasperated. "Very well, what is wrong Daniel Jackson?"

"Sam."

A look of understanding crossed his face. "I see."

Daniel looked up, "Teal'c, I don't know what I want."

Teal'c waited for Daniel to explain that.

"I miss Sam so much. I mean, she was like my big sister," he stopped and smiled fondly, "And kid sister rolled into one. But, I've grown to love..."

"Little Samantha." Teal'c supplied.

He nodded.

"I have the same difficultly."

"What about Jack?" he asked quietly, "I know he loved Sam. But... he's had that little girl for two years Teal'c. Two."

Teal'c slowly got up and wandered towards the mini bar. He came back with a cup of coffee and joined Daniel again.

----

Jack groaned as a hyper girl crawled over him begging... "Hey Jack, can we have donuts for breakfast?"

He laughed as he sat up, "Donuts?" he said doubtfully, "It's not donut day…"

"PLLLLEEEEAAAAAASSSSSEEEEE?"

He nodded. "Sure."

She grinned, "All right campers, let's get going!"

----

Nora looked up as the door jingled and admitted a man in his mid forties and a little girl.

"Hi Nora!"

She grinned, "Hey Sam, what are you doing here? You had donuts Friday!"

"Pick your donut out Sam" Jack said gesturing to the racks.

"Can I have two?"

Nora grinned. She asked that everytime and the answer was always-

"Yep."

She blinked. "Mr. O'Neill?" she ventured. "Is everything ok?"

He nodded. "Everything's fine Nora. Can I have the chocolate bar, two sprinkle donuts, a Danish and...a large coffees."

She slowly obeyed his order.

"Dad! What about me?"

"Oh and a hot chocolate for the lady."

Nora froze. Mr. O'Neill always got a chocolate bar, a sprinkle, a large coffee and a cartoon of milk. Always.

"Nora? You ok?"

She nodded as she passed him his coffee and chocolate. She mechanically placed the donuts and Danish in a bag and handed it to him. "4.50 sir."

Jack handed her the amount and the two hurried out. Nora looked after very bewildered.

----

"What now?" Sam asked as she licked away the last of her cotton candy.

Jack checked his watch. "Well, it's lunch time... what do you want?"

"I get to pick?"

He nodded.

"Nachos!"

He laughed, "Two nachos please."

Sam waited patiently for the nachos then followed Jack over to his truck where they sa down and began to eat. Sam finished first and looked at the fair wistfully.

"You want to do a few more rides 'fore we leave?"

She shook her head. "I don't want to be big again."

"What honey? I didn't hear you," he said picking her up and buckling her.

"I said I don't want to be big again. I want to stay with you. Forever!"

Jack adjusted the straps and then buckled himself in. The ride over to the park was made in silence. Once there, he unbuckled her and carried her over to the swings.

"Why?"

She looked at him, "'cause, I like being little."

That simple statement made Jack blink back tears. "Sam... Sam, can you remember being big?"

She shook her head.

"No? You sure?"

She nodded. "Positive."

Jack studied her. She wore a blue peasant top with blue jeans. Her hair was braided and she wore mini tennis shoes. He couldn't think about the fact that this tiny bit of humanity would no longer be...little...

"Don't be so sad Jack." she said holding out her hand.

He slowly took it. They sat there in silence.

"Jack?" the little girl whispered.

Jack started, "Sorry,"

She nodded, "It's ok, I was just wondering..."

"Wondering what?"

She looked up. "Can we go wadding?"

He laughed. "Yeah Sam, we can."

He followed 'his' dancing daughter down to the little lake and helped her roll up her pant legs.

"Ready?" he asked.

She nodded.

----

That night...

Jack unbuckled the little girl and slowly picked her up. She sleepily clasped his arms around her neck. He stumbled up the steps and into the house. Tossing his keys onto the table, he carefully felt his way through the house into her bedroom. He placed her on the bed and took off her shoes. Carefully easing off her shirt, he pulled on her nightgown.

"Jack?" she mumbled.

"Shh Sam," he whispered, "It's bedtime."

"I'm not tir-" she was cut off by a big yawn.

Jack smiled. "It's ok sweetie."

"But you didn't read to me..."

"Tomorrow Sam."

"No."

He sighed, "Sam-"

"No! I want you to read to me!"

"Sam-"

"NO! I WANT YOU TO READ TO ME!"

He frowned then nodded. "What do you want?"

"Cinderella."

"I read that to you last night!"

She gave him an adorable pouty face, "Please?"

He picked up the worn book. "Ok..." he read it and waited for Sam to join in at 'and they lived happily ever after' but she remained silent.

"Sam?" he asked, "What's going on?"

"I... I want to live happily ever after."

Jack stared at her. "Baby-"

"Night Jack, I love you." she rolled over and soon was fast asleep.

He slipped in the bed beside her and placed his arm around her. "Night Sam."

----

The next morning came far too soon to Jack. Sam was fairly silent while Jack made omelets.

"Samantha, what is it?" he finally asked.

"After I'm big, can I still come over?"

He paused. "Uhh..."

"Please?"

He handed her the omelet. "Yes sweetie," he whispered, "Anytime you like."

She grinned, "Thanks for yesterday."

"You're welcome."

She finished her breakfast on her bed while Jack packed her knapsack. "You ready Sam?"

She nodded and dropped her plate on the bed, "One, two, three, I'm going to beat you to the truck Jack!"

He watched her dash off then with a slight smile, followed her out to the car.

Well, I hope you liked it... Next chapter up as soon as I can write it.

Please review!
