Chapter 8

A/N: Sorry 'bout how slow the chapters are. Anyways sorry 'bout the stuff ups with Grace's name and all, I thought I had edited the last chapter but I hadn't. I have fixed it for those who asked. Thanks for all the reviews they have been great I am so glad there has been such an interest in the story!

Charlie looked at Jack blankly after his father had asked the question. "I said she was out for about 12 hours." He repeated.

"Well Just before Grace fainted she said to me that she tried to tell your mum and dad what was going to happen. Apparently she could see everything happening in her dreams while she is passed out. She tried to tell them but she was unconscious when everything started happening." Jack declared.

"Sir I think you've done it again." Carter said with a new look of hope on her face.

"What have I done?" Jack asked openly.

"Well you said that before Grace fainted, she said she had had seen what happened right?"

"Right." The two boys replied concurrently.

"Well, she's doing it again. Charlie was the quantum mirror blown up on the other side?"

"Yes, straight after we went through it. Dad said we had to plant C4 all around the area on a 10 second timer. We did that because if they were to die nobody could find us that way if there were no way to contact us." Charlie explained.

"So?" Jack asked Carter.

"So, because it blew up, it could have sent Charlie and Grace back in time as well as to another reality. Theoretically Grace is having the same dream she had in her reality, but in this reality. Because of the time change this has occurred. Except this time we know what's going to happen." Carter confirmed for Charlie and Jack.

"Fork in the road stuff?" Jack asked.

"Yes sir." Carter replied.

"Then how do we wake her up?" Jack asked.

"How long has she been out for?" Carter questioned.

"5 hours." Jack answered.

"She'll be awake in at the least 7 hours." She speculated.

"And until then I guess we'll set up a briefing for about 2000 hours to prepare for what we're up against. Until then I will go tell the Dr Brightman's nurse's to stop prodding her, cause I know how much that hurts." Jack said with a cringe on his face as he was walking out of the room, which caused Sam and Charlie to smirk.

"Sam?" Charlie asked.

"Yeah, what's up?" She replied.

"Why aren't you and my dad together? Even still why aren't you married? I mean, is there someone else for you, or did he find Sarah again?" Charlie asked, quickly wanting answers.

Sam slightly blushed. "What's with all the questions? You're just like your dad you know." She commented.

"Well I was just curious and all. Every other reality, you two have been together. It's not like you don't lo…" Charlie was interrupted.

"Well we're not aloud, plus I think I would have done something years ago if I knew he cared for me." She said trying to make sense to herself and Charlie.

"Actually before we came in to the commissary, we had a little talk about that." She admitted.

"Oh, so Daniel was right, you were hiding something." Charlie laughed quietly to himself.

"You promise you won't tell Daniel, Teal'c or especially your dad anything I say here."

"Yeah sure you betcha."

"Good."

"Anyway?" Charlie hassled.

"Anyway, I'm kind of involved with this guy. And our little conversation helped me clarify some things for the two of us. I'm going to quit the airforce. It's the only way." She said in all seriousness.

"You can't. There has to be another way. I'm sure if you asked Hammond or the president or something, they would allow you two, cause of everything you've done for this country and the world for that matter. Plus how are they going to stop you from having a relationship when you have two kids together." Charlie commented and suggested.

"Well your mum and dad couldn't find a legal way, so we're compromising." Sam said.

"So who's this guy you're seeing, and why hasn't dad beaten him up yet?" Charlie asked sarcastically with a giant "Jack" grin on his face.

"Actually, I don't know if you would know him in your reality." She stated.

"So, who cares, I will eventually find out. Plus I think dad will tell me, or complain about him or something." Charlie laughed.

"Fine, his name is Pete Shanahan. He is a detective from Denver." Sam stated whilst Charlie's mouth hung open.

"No way! I don't believe it." Charlie laughed as he was slipping off his chair.

"You know him?"

"Yes! That would be Janet's husband." Charlie said still in hysterics.

"What about Daniel?" Sam asked concernedly.

"Her name is Sha're that's his wife." Sam smiled.

"Anyway, you and Pete. What's the deal?" Charlie asked guiding her back to the subject.

"Um…not much to tell, my brother set us up a few weeks ago. He's nice, but I don't think I will ever love him. Oh, and if you tell your dad that you will be in a lot of pain." She joked.

"So when are you braking up with him?" Charlie asked bluntly.

"Pushy aren't you. You are very much like Cassie you know." She laughed.

"Really?"

"Oh, yes...she lives with me now." Sam looked sad and then brightened up again.

"So what about you young Charles, any girlfriends we should be aware of?" Sam grinned.

"Even if I did, you would so not find out." Charlie assured her.

"That's what Cassie said."

There was a brief salience.

"Anyway think you two belong together regardless." Charlie said.

"I'm sure you would. If I were to admit my feelings to…" She was interrupted

"Admit your feelings to who carter?" Jack asked as he walked in.
