Thanks for reviewing for the last chapter!
StargateFan: (bursts out laughing and takes fake RDA picture back) I can't stop laughing to write!
BookWorm37: For some reason, I thought your name was Jenny. Victoria huh? It's a very pretty name and I like the meaning.
thorsfriend: Thanks.
Well, I hope you like this chapter, and that you like it so much you'll review... (Pathetic I know...)
Sara Loughlin beta'd this! Woohoo! Danke Sara.
Cheers!
Carter's eyes shot open. She looked around. "Jack?" She whispered softly.
She looked around and groaned. "No!" she cried.
"No..."
'It was a dream... a dream...'
She scrambled out of bed and opened the door.
'Nooo...'
Å
Ok, so I lied. It's not a dream. (sigh)
I've been wanting to do that for ages...
Å
Jack and Jacob both reluctantly gave away their babies and hurried out of the room followed by General Hammond. Daniel lingered in the doorway. "You going to be ok by yourself?"
She nodded. "I have Teal'c."
He gave her a small smile and vanished.
Å
"Who is it Walter?" George demanded.
"It's the Tok'ra sir," Walter said looking up.
"Open the iris," he ordered. It spun open and two figures stepped through.
"Oh, I was hoping not to see her again," Jack mumbled. Jacob shot him a half amused- half annoyed look.
"Who's the guy with her?" Daniel asked.
The gate deactivated, leaving the two Tok'ra on the ramp.
"His name is Turin. He's new." Jacob explained, "Well, his host is new."
"Colonel O'Neill, General Hammond, Dr. Jackson. It is good to see you again." Freya said stepping off the ramp.
The embarkation room doors opened and Jacob strode in. "What is it?" He demanded.
"The Tok'ra have an assignment for Selmac. You must leave immediately."
Turin bobbed his head. "Immediately," he echoed.
Jacob nodded brusquely before Selmac took control. "My host wishes to say good-bye to his grandchildren. We should be ready to depart in fifteen minutes."
Freya had stiffened. "You have children now Colonel O'Neill?"
He beamed. "Two boys, Jacob and Caleb. Wanna see 'em?"
"I do not believe we have time," Anise said as she took control. She eyed them carefully then walked up to Daniel.
"Dr. Jackson," she began, "Have you made any progress on that tablet I gave you a year ago?"
Daniel was momentarily distracted by the fact thatshe was stroking his arm. "Err, uh, well um, yeah, yeah I uh, translated it."
"Wonderful…" she purred.
Daniel gave the General and Jack a pleading look. The two gave him a slight shake, obviously trying to conceal their mirth at his predicament.
Å
"Hey Sam?" Jacob began stepping into her room, "I have to go."
Her happy expression dimmed. "You have to go?"
"Yeah. I'm needed."
She nodded. "Of course," she said softly, "I understand."
"I don't want to go Sam. Really."
"I know."
Jacob stood undecided for a second then stepped forward and kissed her forehead. "Can I hold him really fast?" he asked gesturing to little Jacob. She nodded and he took his carefully.
"Hey little Jake. I'm your Grandpa!"
The little boy stirred slightly.
A foolish grin spread over his face. Sam watched her father, half wondering what her dad had been like when she was a baby.
Å
Slowly people congregated in the control room to watch Daniel squirm. Anise obviously liked him. And his-
"Daniel!" Jack called, finally feeling a little compassion for him, "Go see what's keeping Jacob."
Daniel gave him a relieved glance and dashed out of the room.
Å
Jacob put down his namesake and picked up little Caleb. "Oh Sam, he looks just like you."
"Really?" She asked.
"Yep. You better hope he is like you, you were the quietest little kid I had ever seen." He kissed the babies forehead.
Sam smiled.
Jacob looked up. "Selmac says congrats and he says the kids are… wonderful."
She beamed. "Thanks Selmac."
Daniel appeared in the doorway, slight disheveled. "Jacob-you-are-wanted-you-have-to-go-now-bye-see-you-later."
The father and daughter stared at him. "What?"
He sighed. "Anise wants to, I mean she says you have to go… bye!"
Jacob looked at his daughter. "I'm sorry Sam. The kids are beautiful. I've never been prouder of you."
"Thanks Dad."
Jacob passed Daniel and hurried to the elevator. "Next time Anise makes a move on you, appeal to Freya." Jacob called as the door closed.
Daniel turned to Sam. "How did he know?"
Teal'c raised an eyebrow. "It is most apparent to me that Freya favors O'Neill and Anise yourself."
"Oh. Really?"
"Indeed."
Å
Jack bade his father-in-law a nice farewell and hurried back to the V.I.P room. Inside, Teal'c was holding a screaming infant Jack vaguely thought to be Jacob. He was bawling his head off but Teal'c looked unperturbed, merely studying the baby with great interest.
"How's it going T?" Jack called over the baby's cries.
"Not well." Teal'c said handing him the baby. "This infant does not appear to like me."
"I'm sure that's not true..." Jack said taking his son. Jacob instantly stopped crying. Teal'c raised an eyebrow and hurried away. Jack looked at his wife. "We've got some pretty ok kids."
She smiled. "That we do." She said softly.
He leaned closer. "So what's in store for us Sam?"
She kissed him. "I don't know... but that's what so..."
"Cool?" Jack offered.
"I suppose that's the word."
He looked down at their two sons. "I've been blessed. I've got the most beautiful wife anyone could have," he stopped and kissed her. "And the two most handsome boys."
Carter cuddled her babies. "Handsome?" She said rather dubiously.
He laughed. "I love you Sam." He waited a second. "Sam?" He promoted.
"Oh!" She said with exaggerated surprise. "Right. I love you Jack."
"That sounded convincing."
Sam stroked his cheek. "I love you Jack O'Neill."
"That was better." Jack said looking up as he heard a scuffling noise outside the door. Daniel and Teal'c stood out there looking shyly in.
Sam and Jack exchanged smiles. "Come in guys,"
"We didn't want to intrude," Daniel mumbled.
"You're FAMILY Daniel. You never intrude." Jack said.
Daniel blinked rapidly. "Thanks."
Jack's cell rang. "Hello?" He was silent for a second. "Mr. President! Yes, thank you... No..."
Sam smiled at her baby boys. It wasn't everyday the President called you and congratulated you on your boys...
Jack continued to talk rapidly. Little Caleb yawned and closed his eyes. Minutes later, as Jack hung up, he was surrounded by sleeping people... including Daniel.
"Lookin' good huh Teal'c?" Jack whispered.
The man nodded. "Congratulations O'Neill. Will you permit me to visit the Lochi world?"
Jack was thrown by the sudden change in conversation but nodded. "Sure."
"Good. I must thank the elders for agreeing to try their plan. Farewell."
Jack stared after him. "TEAL'C!"
Well... actually, now I don't really know what to do. What do y'all think? Wrap up the story with them as babies, or watch them grow up? (Not in detail of course).
Well... I hope you liked it!
PLEASE review!
