A/N: Ok, this is the forth chapter. I have tried to make many improvements on this one. Hope you enjoy it!

Chapter 4

Sam and Jack had finally made there way down to the briefing room. They were greeted with a grinning Charlie looking at them as they entered. General Hammond did not look too impressed with there lateness.

"Here we go," Jack muttered.

"Major, Colonel, would you like to explain your delay to this important briefing?" O'Neill stood forward and started to explain. Though, Sam just stood there not moving a muscle.

"Well sir, Carter had to get something from her lab and I went with her. We apparently got side tracked with the time, sorry sir." Jack apologized and Carter nodded in agreement.

Sam sighed in relief and looked at Jack as they took there seats.

Charlie turned to Daniel and were smirking at each other at the uncomfortable situation that had come about between Sam and Jack.

"Very well colonel. As long as we have cleared that up." Hammond said not entirely convinced.

"Yes sir!" they replied almost instantaneously.

"Well let's get this briefing started shall we," the general added.

The introductions began when Charlie introduced himself and Grace to the general. This went on for quite a while repeating what he had said earlier to SG-1.

Jack had slowly gotten side tracked into his own little world. Sam noticed and was smiling at him trying not to laugh at him being board.

Before anybody could react Jack woke up out of his days, which made Sam jump.

He spoke up surprising nearly everyone.

"Ah, General, before Charlie goes any further, Major Carter and I have some information regarding Grace's mother." Charlie swung his head towards his father. Sam shook her head telling him no but he continued.

"Go ahead." Hammond replied. Sam started to talk, because she knew how Jack could make things sound, but Jack cut her off.

"General four years ago, Carter became pregnant. Nobody knew, not even me just until recently." Carter then cut him off there and decided it was her turn to talk, since it was her news.

She took a deep breath.

"Sir, remember my mission report from the planet witch had the light with seductive powers, where it was addictive and Daniel, Colonel O'Neill and I couldn't leave."

"Yes Major I remember it very well. That was a good four years ago."

"Well the Colonel and I left out some details. The fountain of light made all of us be in the same area. The first to be able to go was Daniel. That left lot of time with Colonel O'Neill and myself alone. As a result, I fell pregnant with Colonel O'Neill's child."

Sam seemed to have a shiver run down her spine; she thought she could have just ended her career. Daniel had nearly fell off his chair when he heard what Sam had just said. He gasped. Teal'c's eyebrow hit a new record height.

Jack still sitting next to her gave her a look of support.

Sam continued. "General I am sorry I hadn't told you earlier but I didn't think it was necessary to push it further when what happened, happened. When I first found out I was pregnant, as I was on my way in that morning I suffered from a miscarriage." Hammond looked shocked; Teal'c's just glanced with his eyebrows still in position, and Daniel's jaw just hung open.

"The only other person to know about this before today was Janet. And that can be my only explanation to why Grace exists in another reality. I am really sorry general I didn't tell you." Carter was getting more worried by the second. Jack looked over to her, but there was nothing he could do especially, in this case.

"Major I will talk to you about that later on. In the mean time I think Charlie should get on with why he and Grace are here. Charlie, if you would like to continue." He waved his hand to get some talking going.

"As I was saying before, Grace is in fact my sister. About 10 years ago, my mother committed suicide due to a long term affect of having me. So that's when Dad went on the Abydos mission. He couldn't forgive himself for what she had done and he thought he had caused it. So he left me in granddads care whilst he went to Abydos. Dad met Daniel on the mission as well as Ska'ra and Charlie Kowalski."

Sam was intrigued with similarities between the different realities. Jack couldn't take his eyes off the boy; he couldn't imagine living his son like that…ever.

"When Dad got back, Granddad decided that we should all move to the cabin in Minnesota. Just as we all got settled in, Dad was recalled for briefings and what not. He was asked to join SG-1 by you general. When he was recalled, we didn't see him for weeks. We were really worried. But dad was on Chulluck where he met Teal'c."

"So SG-1 was the same in your reality?" Daniel asked.

"Yep."

"That's interesting, because in every other reality Teal'c has still been first prime…"

Charlie interrupted.

"Anyway, Dad met Captain Samantha Carter on the second mission to Abydos. He took a liking to her straight away plus they got along really well. I found out that they actually had an arm wrestle which I thought was hilarious. Dad maintained that he let Sam win." Charlie laughed and Daniel chuckled with him.

Though Sam and Jack were not laughing, they locked eyes and then looked back at Charlie. This didn't go unnoticed by the general.

"After Dad and Sam were stuck in the Antarctic, they became very close friends out side of work. Sam would come over for dinner at least three nights a week. It wasn't until that alternate reality thing happened when there were 2 Sam's where they started to get closer. After Dad went missing for a hundred days, things really started to pick up. Sam was so worried about you dad. If Sam wasn't in her lab trying to figure out how to try and get you home, she would be at home with us updating us on information about what was happening."

Sam was once again attacked by a shiver going down her spine. The thought of loosing Jack to her was unbearable. Jack saw her tense up but couldn't do anything for her. Sam's hand slipped down by her side, and Jack saw. He put his hand by his side and he clasped her hand. This let her no that he was there and everything will be ok.

"So when dad came back and told Sam what happened, it took a while for Sam to come back round to our house again. When she did though, you two were married in a secret ceremony down by the cabin. There were 4 guest, granddad, me, Janet and Cassie. We always classified your honeymoon as the weeks you guys went away with the replicators on Thor's ship. About a year and a half after that, Grace was born. Things had been great apart from the odd death of Daniel and such, until about a week ago."

Charlie took a deep breath.
