Yay! Thanks for all the great reviews! So, Noah is practically everyone's favorite character... interesting.

A couple of days later...

Sam and Jack walked over to Noah and Rose who were playing in the big pile of leaves out in the backyard.

"Mommy! Daddy!" Rose shouted.

Jack and Sam smiled. They were so cute,

"What's the matter?" Noah asked.

Jack exchanged a glance with Sam. "Rose, Noah, sit down a minute please," Jack said as he walked over.

Noah and Rose sat down on the leaves.

"Umm, you know your old daddy?" Jack asked.

"The one I have the nightmares about?" Rose asked.

"Yeah, him," Jack said, he remembered when he had told Mr. O'Neill about the nightmares, he had said that it means they had to me back with him, so they wouldn't have them anymore.

"What about him?" Noah asked.

"He wants to take you home," Jack said.

"No he doesn't, he's dead!" Noah shouted.

Jack shook his head. "He's alive."

Rose's mouth dropped open. "He can't take us back! Mommy's not there!"

"I know," Jack said. "We're trying to keep you here, but it isn't that easy,"

"Why does he want us back?" Noah asked.

"He misses you I guess," Jack said.

"But if he takes us back, the stuff in the nightmare might happen." Noah said. "Daddy?"

"Yes?"

"I-I don't want to go back with him," Noah said. "He's going to be mad with me, isn't he?"

"Noah, I-"

"Hello O'Neill family!" Daniel said as he ran out to them. "What's going on?" he asked as he looked around. Rose and Noah looked dismayed. Helooked over at Sam and Jack, his expression saying 'You told them?'

"Daniel, we have to go to court tomorrow," Sam said.

"Tomorrow?" Daniel asked.

"Tomorrow," Jack said. "We talked to our lawyer, and-"

"Oh, how is he anyways?" Daniel asked.

Jack nodded. "Good."

Daniel smiled.

"He said that-"

"Oh, Teal'c is here, he brought gifts for the kids," Daniel said.

Rose and Noah dashed into the house.

"What were you saying Jack?" Daniel asked.

"He said... that he thinks that we will win," Jack said.

"Why? Not that I umm... want you to win-"

"Because, our reality doesn't have rules for other realities,"

"That's true," Daniel said.

"MOMMY!" Rose shouted at the top of her lungs.

Sam ran into the house, the first thing she saw was Rose and Noah holding a little golden retriever puppy. "A PUPPY?" She shouted.

Teal'c bowed. "Indeed,"

Sam looked up. "Uhh..."

"We had a dog before," Noah said.

"That was a dog, not a puppy," Sam said. "Puppies have to be trained,"

"I'll train it!" Noah said. "Can we please keep it?" he asked with a huge smile. "Please?"

Jack walked into the house. "Sam I- where'd that come from?" he asked.

"I have presented it as a gift for your children," Teal'c said.

"Thanks buddy!" Jack said.

Sam turned to Jack. "He's not even house trained!"

Jack looked at her. "He will be,"

Rose and Noah stood there smiling down at their new puppy.

The next morning...

Jack fixed his tie, and buttoned the bottoms of his cuffs. "Sam, ready?" he asked.

Sam nodded; she was wearing a gray skirt with a white blouse.

"Mommy, why do we have to go?" Rose asked.

"Because, you have to," Sam answered. "Now, let's go do something to that hair of yours," she said as she picked up a brush.

"Boys are lucky!" Rose complained.

"Why is that?" Jack asked.

"'Cause they don't have to brush their hair like girls do," she said.

"Yes, but we don't have pretty hair like you do."

"That's true," she said with a smile.

"Dad, puppy chewed my shoe!" Noah complained as he ran into the room carrying a chewed up shoe. "I can't put it on without it falling off!"

"I told you," Sam said as she turned to Jack. "Come on, let's go get him a new pair of shoes..."

"I want a new pair of shoes!" Rose shouted. "And so does Andrew!"

----

After buying Noah a pair of sneakers, they drove to the courthouse, where their lawyer, Mr. Kennedy, was waiting for them while holding back the press.

"Rose, Noah," he said with a smile. "Remember, if they want to ask you questions, you tell the truth, ok?" he said.

"Okay!" they replied.

Mr. Kennedy nodded.

"Mr. O'Neill!" a man shouted. "How do you feel about this?" a reporter asked as he pushed towards them.

Camera's clicked and the O'Neill family hurried into the courtroom.

----

"All rise!"

Noah and Rose jumped out of their seats.

"Case number 435 Mr. O'Neill verses Mr. O'Neill," someone said. "You may sit.

Everyone sat down.

"Mr. O'Neill," the judge started. "I'm afraid this case is a open and close book-"

"Your honor!" Mr. Kennedy argued.

"I'm sorry, I meant the other reality Mr. O'Neill, you see, our reality didn't know such things existed until just a while ago, and we have no laws about other realities-"

"Your honor! Where Mr. O'Neill comes from-"

"I'm sorry," the judge said. "Like I have told you, this was going to be a waste of time, this reality Mr. O'Neill is the legal guardian of Lorna Rose O'Neill and Noah Matthew O'Neill,"

"THEY'RE MY KIDS!"

"I'm sorry," the judge said. "But you did give them up and-"

"I HAD THEM!"

"Please remove Mr. O'Neill from this courtroom and from this reality," the judge said as he stood up and walked out of the room.

Jack and Sam sat there, a little shocked, they hadn't been expecting it to be that easy, all the time they were nervous, and then this!

"Mommy? We won?" Rose asked.

"We won," Sam said.

"I hope you burn in hell!" the other Mr. O'Neill said as he walked towards them.

"I hope you grow up," Daniel said.

That was it, Mr. O'Neill blew up, he picked up his hand to punch Daniel but Noah kicked him.

"Dad! Stop it!" Noah shouted.

The other Mr. O'Neill looked down at him. "Don't tell me what to do boy," he said.

The police officers rushed over to him and led him away.

"Party at my house!" Rose shouted.

Everyone laughed.

So, how was it? I was going to write a whole court chapter, but my mom didn't think they would do it, because there are no laws about other realities...

Anyways, hoped you all liked it!

I'm sorry about the wait!
