Chapter 8:
Jack was cleared for active duty. He was about to leave for his first SG-1 mission sense his return. They were only waiting for Carter. But instead of her, Mitchell came walking up the ramp. "Colonel O'Neill, I will be serving as you new 2IC. I hope work well together.". Jack was confused by his words. He looks at the door, then to the gate. He then, without word sprinted for Sam's lab.which left Mitchell confused again. "Something I said?" he asked.
Sam was in her lab, she was working on a device. But her door was open and a sweaty, out of breath Jack stood there. Sam looks at him and checked her chard. "Sir? Aren't you supposed to be going to PYX-762?" she asked. Jack walked in. "Explain to me why Mitchell is taking your place?" he asked. Sam sighed. "Because, I wasn't under your direct command, I can do this without trouble." She then kissed him soflty.
He finally got the message. She wants to be with him. And he excepted it. "Well, going through the gate won't be the same you know." He said.
Walking back to the gate, he saw a confused team. But he waved them off. He turned to Mitchell. "Mitchell right? Congratulations, you are part of the team. But, here's rule number one, don't have a big meal before gate travel. Trust me.".
Mitchell swallowed hard. "No I regret having that steak with fries." He said. Jack pats him on the back. "You'll be fine.". With that, he and Daniel shoved Mitchell through. Both them and Teel'c laughed as they walk through.
On the other side, Mitchell was vomiting at a bush. "Remind me to eat small before gate travel." He asked.
(Two years later.).
The gate activated and SG-1's IDC was send through. New base Commander Hank Landry gave the order. Jack, Mitchell, Daniel and Teel'c walked through and the gate shuts off. "Welcome back SG-1." Said Landry.
Jack's first action was to visit a specific lab. Knocking twice, the door opened and Sam invited him in. In the corner of the room, a baby girl was in a stroller. Jack picked her up and kissed her head. "How is my baby Grace doing?" he asked. Sam kissed his cheek. Jack then slipped his hand over Sam's pregnant stomach. "How's junior doing?" he asked.
Sam then held his hand there. "Well, it appears we are having a boy." She said. Jack could only smile. "So, little Samuel is gonna be around?". Sam gave him a look. "Samuel?" she asked. Jack smiled. "Named after his beautiful mother.". He then kissed her ring finger where a golden wedding band visible.
Life was perfect for him. But his family moment was ruined with:
"UNSCHEDULED OFF-WORLD ACTIVATION!".
