"Sam? What's wrong?"
"I can't find him Daniel!" Sam said on the verge of tears. "I can't find Colonel O'Neill!"
"Sam, calm down!" he said. "Did you check-"
"I checked the whole house!"
"Sam, I'll send a team to help you find him, ok?"
"Thank you Daniel!" she said as she wiped her tears away. "You'd think I could keep an eye on a three-year-old." She said with a shaky laugh.
"He's not a normal three-year-old," Daniel reminded her. "Don't worry Sam, you'll find him, I'm sure he's not far."
"Bye," Sam said as she hung up the phone and began to search again.
And now the continuation…
----
There was a knock at the door twenty minutes later; Sam rushed to answer it. There stood Daniel and a team of five from the SGC. "Thank god! I can't find him! It's like he disappeared!" she said as she hugged Daniel.
"Hey, it's ok," Daniel assured her patting her on the shoulder.
"I lost Colonel O'Neill!" she said. "How is that okay?"
Daniel knew it wasn't the time for laughing, but the way Sam had worded it, it made it sound funny and he couldn't help but laugh. "Sorry Sam, but that… sounded funny," he laughed.
Sam bit her lip, it wasn't funny. If he was the one who lost Jack, and he wouldn't be laughing right now!
"Did you check your basement?" Daniel asked.
Sam shook her head. "He couldn't have gotten in there," she said. "It's locked, ever since Orlin… made the Stargate in it."
"Ok," Daniel said as he turned to the men. "You guys search the house again, ok? Sam and I'll try the basement, just to be safe."
"Yes sir," one of them said as they split up and began to search the house.
Sam walked into the kitchen and took out a can of pineapple out of a cabinet, she shook it and out fell a small silver key. "It's here, I don't think he could have unlocked it then put the key back Daniel," she muttered.
"Let's just try," Daniel said.
Sam shrugged and walked towards her basement, she unlocked the door and stepped inside, after turning on the lights, Daniel and Sam began to search the dusty old room.
"So this is the mini Stargate?" Daniel asked as his fingers followed the pattern of a symbol. "It's so tiny!"
"Daniel, We're supposed to be looking for Colonel O'Neill."
"Right, sorry."
----
They had searched the house; finally, an hour later, everyone was sure that Colonel O'Neill was not in the house.
"We'll check the neighborhood," Daniel said as he noticed the state Sam was in, she was really out of it, she was probably exhausted. "Why don't you lie down for a while?" he suggested.
"No, Daniel. I'm fine." She said as she began to follow him out the door.
"Sam, please?" Daniel asked. "Just fifteen minutes at least?"
Sam sighed and rubbed her head. "Fifteen minutes, that's it."
"Thank you Sam," Daniel said with a small smile. Then he quickly headed out of the house.
It normally took Sam hours to find sleep, but this time it came quickly, almost as soon as she closed her eyes. But a minute later, she found herself on the floor; Sam opened her eyes and looked around. "T-Thor?" she asked sleepily.
Thor walked over. "Major Carter, it is good to seeing you again." He said.
"What's going on?" Sam asked as she looked around. "What's wrong?"
"Major Carter," Thor started. "Something has happened to Colonel O'Neill."
Sam sat up as quickly as she could. "Do you know where he is?" she asked as she looked around again to make sure she hadn't missed Jack anywhere on the ship.
"He is." Thor said. "But he is not-"
"Thank god!" Sam said as she stood up. "I love you Thor!" she gave him a slight hug.
"Major Carter!" Thor complained. "He is no longer his normal size. He-"
"Yeah, I know… about that… do you think you could do anything for him? Like change him back into his regular age?" Sam asked. She was still looking around the ship in hopes of seeing him.
Thor blinked. "I will try, but what happed?"
"It's a long story… where is he?"
Thor moved a stone around on the console.
"AHH!" A familiar voice shouted as Jack appeared in the room. "You!" he shouted to Thor, he started to run away from Thor and bumped right into Sam. Jack threw his arms around her. "Help me! Up! Lemme up!" Sam lifted Jack into her arms and squeezed him tightly. "He's gonna hurt me!" Jack complained. "Help!"
"Hey, shh… he's not going to hurt you." Sam said. "Okay? I promise."
Jack nodded. "But he has powers!"
"JJ, calm down, okay?" Sam said as she ruffled his hair. "Everything's going to be okay, okay? Do you trust me?"
Jack shook his head. "I can't!"
"Why not?" Sam asked a little surprised.
" 'Cause…" Jack started.
"Because…?" Sam questioned.
"I 'don know your name!" he said seriously.
Sam smiled. "Call me Sam."
"Is that your name?" he asked.
Sam nodded her head. "Yeah. Actually, it's Samantha."
"How come you said it was 'Sam' them?" Jack asked.
"Because…" Sam said as she walked closer to Thor. "Because it's shorter."
"So?"
Sam smiled. "Do you always ask this many questions?"
Jack nodded.
"JJ, Thor… him, he's going to help you, okay?"
"With what?" Jack asked as he tightened his grip on Sam's shoulders.
Sam said the first thing that popped into her head. "To make sure you're not sick."
Thor blinked. "O'Neill-"
"JJ!" He shouted.
Sam cleared his throat. "He likes to be called 'JJ'." Sam said.
"Very well… JJ, I-"
"I wanna go home!" Jack wailed.
Sam looked down at the ground, sad that she couldn't grant his wish. "You can't. Not yet, okay?"
That only made Jack cry harder, his tears fell onto her shoulders. Sam couldn't stand a kid crying! She thought his tantrums were bad, his crying was ten times worse. Sam just wanted the old Colonel O'Neill back. Little Jack was adorable, but she needed the other Jack… her Jack… the Jack she loved, but could never have. "Thor!" Sam shouted as she remembered there was still a team looking for him. "Beam me down please, I have to tell them that I found them. I have a team down there looking for him."
"Very well." Thor said as he moved another stone.
Sam appeared in her house a minute later, with six people staring at her. "Hey!" she said.
Daniel looked around then walked over and gave her a hug. "So, you got Thor to help, eh?" he asked.
Sam shook her head. "No, actually, I didn't. Thor just sorta… beamed him up."
"Where is 'he' now?" Daniel asked.
"Thor?" Sam asked.
"Jack!"
"With Thor." Sam answered. "Well, I'm going-" was all she got to say before the white light engulfed her. And then, she was on Thor's ship a minute later.
"Major Carter." Thor greeted. "There is nothing I can do." Thor said as he looked down at Jack. "I can not help."
"What?" Sam shouted, scared that he may never be the same again. She had been so sure that Thor would be able to help 'Little Jack'. "Nothing?"
"I am sorry." Thor said. "I can not do anything to help him."
Sam sighed. "It's okay… we'll figure something out… we always do."
Thor blinked. "I am not so sure."
"Why?" Sam asked.
"I do not even know how this is even possible." Thor said. "I have never seen this type of technology before."
"Well, thanks anyways Thor." Sam said. She turned around. "Not again!" she muttered.
"Do not worry Major Carter." Thor said as he beamed Jack back into the room. "He is fine."
Jack looked up at Sam. "Boo!"
Sam smiled. "Let's go home." She said as she took Jack's hand.
Jack nodded. "Then can we watch 'cowor' TV?" he asked.
"You betcha." Sam said with a smile.
"Thor!" Jack said as he turned to him. "Like my cool shoes?"
Thor smiled as Jack stomped his foot and his shoes lit up. "Indeed, do not get into anymore trouble. Young JJ." He said.
Sam retrained herself from rolling her eyes. That was impossible.

So, how many guessed that Thor would be involved? I know BookWorm37 mentioned it...
Thanks SG-Fan for editing this!
Well, I guess there's just two more words to say... please review!
