A/N: This chapter has two parts, so don't be confused by the sudden change. Thank you all for reviewing so quickly. Now, just remember to do it again.


Since Jeff wasn't being released from the 'evil fangs of the vampire wannabe' Dr. Fraiser until the next day, Kristie had Barbara and Camilla bring the children to them so the young man could say hello to his four babies.

Meeting Barbara and Camilla was a very interesting experience for Jeff: he didn't get a good feeling from Barbara; she seemed too… determined to get something and yet at the same time at peace with where she was. In Jeff's mind the woman was a walking contradiction. Camilla came across as another contradiction, but this one being more of the nature that she was innately a Jaffa warrior and yet she was so gentle with the children an observer never would have guessed.

"Kris, I've gotta ask you something about the interview they want us to do…" Jack trailed off as he looked up, walking up to his nephew's bed. He looked at the dark woman holding his Cosette and said in a hoarse whisper, "Barbara?"

The sixty-year-old woman smiled, "Hello, Jonathan. How long has it been? Ten years?"

Jack was dumbstruck with the appearance of his old playmate and Charlie's old nanny. "More like fifteen. You left when Charlie was six and I retired."

Barbara nodded sadly, "It was a difficult time, I'm sure."

"What are you doing here?" Jack asked, shaking out of his revelry.

The woman smiled warmly and gently squeezed Cosette in her arms, "I'm officially the nanny for young Kristie's children. They're adorable, aren't they?"

"Yes, they are," Jack said with a proud, paternal smile that lit up his eyes. His mood changed as he remembered why he was there in the first place. "Jeff, Kris, I just got off the phone with Julia Donavan, she's going to be conducting the interview we agreed to do." He took a deep breath, pausing for dramatic effect, "She wants to meet the kids."

The couple locked eye contact and Kris read in Jeff's mind his answer to the request, turning back to her uncle she said, "We'll think about it."

"That's all I can ask you to do," Jack said. He nodded politely to Camilla and Barbara, "See you at seven for dinner. Bye."

Kris sighed, the events of the day catching up with her some. Finding nannies was harder than one would expect! "Well, come on, kids, Barbara, Camilla, we'd better be getting home." She leaned over and kissed Jeff lightly on the mouth, "Bye, see you tomorrow."


Camilla had lived a very Spartan life before coming to Earth, so when Kris saw that she just had one small sack of belongings with her only one thought came to mind: shopping. Leaving the kids at home under the watchful care of Barbara and the newly appointed Jonas wannabe, Justin, Kris took Camilla out for some female bonding time with her and Cassie. To say that the experience of shopping for clothes with Cassie and Kristie was a shock for Camilla would be like calling a blizzard 'a little snow'.

"Try this one on, Camilla," Cassie said, holding up a small black dress that she thought would accent Camilla's figure perfectly.

The Jaffa grimaced when she saw the garment, "It seems a bit small, Cassandra. I don't think I could hide a weapon on my person if I wore that."

Kris looked down, hiding her smirk. "Try it on before you make up your mind. There's a saying among Tauri women: Every girl needs a little black dress."

Camilla took the dress with a scowl, thinking it over, "What is the purpose of owning a 'little black dress', as you say?"

Cassie grinned, "Well, black is always in style, and you never know when you're going to need to go to something formal. Black is slimming, so if you're concerned about your weight you can wear it to make you feel better, it's great for funerals – not that I hope we'll go to many – and it's excellent for parties."

The warrior eyed the twenty-three year old, recent college graduate (with a Masters in Social Services) with suspicion. "Do you own a garment such as this, Cassandra?"

Cassie rolled her eyes, "It's 'Cassie' and yes, I do have a little black dress. Like Kris said, every girl should have one. Oooh! Look at this!" Cassie held up a gaudy, sparkly green sequence top with a floral design. "Who even made this?" She checked the tag, "Oh, it's a Ralph Lauren. Must have been one of his off days."

Kristie laughed, "Don't worry about it Cassie, it's not like we'd make you wear it or anything silly like that. Hey, why don't you try on these jeans, Camilla? I think they'd look really good on you."

Camilla nodded submissively and took the clothing acquired for her, into the dressing rooms. Kris and Cassie waited outside the room for Camilla to model each outfit and dress for their inspection.

In the end the Jaffa who came to Earth with two outfits, a carved statuette from each of her children, and an anklet her husband gave her before he died, now was the owner of five hats, seven pairs of shoes, three pairs of jeans, twelve tops of various designs, two coats, three skirts, two summer dresses and one little black dress that she found she could still hide three knives on her body with it on.
