Thank you for all your reviews, some of you asked why I hadn't mention the girl's name, it will become clear in later chapters, when Sam explains why she named her daughter that. So here is the next chapter...enjoy!

Previously...

"Ok, I'm coming." Jack replied taking his head off of his desk to go and face some person that probably wanted him to sign away his soul. He walked out of his office and into the briefing room, looking around for his visitor.

Daniel walked along the grey corridors of the SGC towards the briefing room, after exiting from the elevator. He wondered why Jack had paged him, and not done what he normally did. Jack would come and find him and Teal'c, so that he did not have to sit in the meeting or briefing and endure torture while he waited for his former teammates to arrive and save him. Daniel also wondered if whatever it was they were going to attend was something Jack wanted to do, which ruled out all briefings or meetings. A flicker of hope appeared before Daniel, but he quickly squashed it back in his head where he kept everything that he didn't want to think about. Mostly the deaths, or losses of his loved ones. He had learnt that from Jack, as well as so many other important facts that life as an archaeologist wouldn't have given him. Jack had taught him so much, sometimes he feared the military mind inside him overpowered that of the archaeological one, he was a civilian, yet he had learnt all the tricks of the trade of being in the air force from Jack and Sam. Shaking himself from his thoughts as he walked into the briefing room. Daniel was never one for knocking. He walked into the room just after Jack. Jack looked around, as did Daniel.

Teal'c walked along the corridors of the base, his feet automatically taking him where he needed to go. He also thought through the reasons that O'Neill asked him to the briefing room. He had no scheduled missions to go on during the day, nor for the rest of the week. Teal'c could only imagine it was a personal situation. O'Neill didn't talk of his private life anymore, with him or Daniel. Not since Colonel Carter left 6 years ago. They hadn't talked, he hadn't rung her, none of them had, and she didn't ring them either. A feeling he had only felt a few times in his long life appeared in the pit of Teal'c's stomach. He felt it when he returned to Chulak after leaving with the Tau'ri, to find his home a burnt out shell. He felt it when he was confronted with the man that killed his father, and he felt it when he thought of the man that made Colonel Carter leave her job, and her family. He felt hatred. Teal'c often considered the reasons she left, and often found that there really wasn't any. She had just left. Teal'c and Daniel had believed that one day Jack and Sam would be together. Maybe she couldn't face being around Jack now she had found someone else. Daniel always swore that Sam still loved Jack and that was why she had left. She left because she loved Jack too much. Teal'c walked through the door into the briefing room. Only Jack and Daniel stood there, looking confused.

"There's no one here." Daniel stated.

"Ya think?" Jack replied annoyed. The airman told him he had a visitor, visitors after the use of 'they'. The visitors wished to see Daniel and Teal'c. "Didn't see anyone outside T?"

"I did not." Teal'c said.

"So who was it anyway?" Daniel asked, taking a seat at the table.

"Don't know, the airman just said I had a visitor, visitors." Jack said taking the seat at the head of the table. Teal'c took the seat next to Daniel. All had a clear view of the door.

"Visitors?"

"Yes, Daniel visitors." Jack replied. Footsteps could be heard. They turned their heads towards the door and the three men stood. 'They aren't an adult's footsteps, they are too light.' Jack thought. The sound of a child laughing echoed down the corridors, and seconds later a small girl ran through the door. Blonde curls cascading over her head and down to her shoulders, and her blue eyes sparkling. The next figure to enter the room shook all three men. A figure they had begun to think they wouldn't see again.

"Hi guys." The figure said as the little girl clung to her side. She didn't know the men before her and she was in a new, very strange situation.

"Hi?" Daniel said not believing what stood before him. Jack looked at the little girl, the blonde curls, the blue eyes, Sam's daughter, and Pete's. Jack got up and glanced at Sam, before turning and heading for his office.

"Jack, please." Sam cried, "you need to hear me out, you need to meet Abi. Please she's…" The door slammed shut before Sam could finish.

"Mommy why is he angry?" Abi asked. Sam didn't answer. "Mom, they are in the photo. Him and him and him." She pointed to Daniel and Teal'c and then at the closed door of Jack's office. A loud crash was heard and papers flew up in the air. The blinds were then closed.

"Yes baby, they are." Sam picked up Abi and walked over to the end of the table. "This is Daniel," Sam said pointing at Daniel. "And this is Teal'c." Sam said pointing at Teal'c.

"Tel," Abi began, "Tea," Sam smiled.

"You can call him T." Sam said looking at Teal'c who merely nodded. "Daniel, Teal'c this is Abigail Carter."

"It is a pleasure to meet you Abigail Carter." Teal'c said with a bow of his head. Abi smiled and waved.

"Hi T." Abi greeted.

"Hello Abi." Daniel said smiling.

"Hi Daniel." Abi said with a wave.

"Baby, you stay here and talk to Daniel and Teal'c. I'm just going to see Jack." Sam said, kissing her on her forehead and putting her down into the seat between Teal'c and Daniel.

"Ok, Mommy." Sam walked towards Jack's office, hesitating as she got to the door. She brushed her fingertips over the nameplate, Brig. General Jack O'Neill, before knocking softly. No answer. 'To hell with it' she thought. She opened the door confidently, taking two steps, then pushed it shut, the sound of the door closing echoed in the office. The floor was a sea of white, yellow and blue paper. The odd pale pink dotted in between. His in tray was upturned and lying in the corner, his out tray also upturned and lying in the opposite corner. The entire top of his desk free from objects, what should have been there piled up on either side of the desk.

"Come here to tell us about her?" Jack barked.

"Her? Don't you dare talk about my daughter in that way." Sam yelled back.

"Why have you come back?"

"Because I have left Pete." Sam said, her voice quietening slightly.

"And?"

"What do you mean and?"

"I mean you came back to tell us that you left that bastard?"

"Yes, and to tell you all about Abigail."

"Abigail, his daughter." Jack cried, Sam didn't answer. She really didn't want to tell him in a shouting match.

"Jack, listen to me, please." Sam pleaded.

"I don't have to listen to this. You left 6 years ago. Not one phone call, in those six years. The only a contact, an invitation." Jack shouted.

"How dare you?" Sam said.

"Excuse me?"

"How dare you use that on me. You don't have a clue why I had to leave." Sam turned away, tears threatening to fall.

"Oh, I think I do, you left because of him. You fell pregnant, and he said you had to leave your job. Right?" Sam swallowed and quickly composed herself.

"I wanted my daughter to have a father." Sam cried, turning back towards the blinds as a tear fell. Jack stepped from behind his desk to stand in front of it.

"Sam, he made you leave, didn't he, he used that against you?" Jack voice quietened. Sam sniffed. More tears fell down her cheeks.

"Jack, I thought I was doing the right thing." Sam turned around to face him. "I didn't want to leave her and not come home one night. Leave her all alone in the world."

"She wouldn't have been alone." Jack said, his voice softening.

"I wanted her to have her parents. Staying here, Pete would have left, and she would still have no father." Sam replied.

"Still?" Jack said, wondering what she meant.

"I'm sorry." Sam said simply, wiping her eyes. "I thought I could do this." Sam opened the door and walked out into the briefing room. Daniel was talking animatedly to Abi. Jack followed, but stopped and stood in the doorway watching the scene.

Please R&R, the next chapterhas beenwritten, and should be up in a few days.
