I'm so happy! I got more reviews for my last chapter, then any other chapter before it! I'm SO glad you guys like it! This chapter I probably changed/rewrote at least ten times, I couldn't get it the way I wanted it! But this works.
Ch 16: Another surprise.
Sam returned to the SGC along with Daniel. The temple they had gone to see had mysteriously vanished, so they came back without anything new. Sam was surprised to learn that General Hammond had taken little Jack somewhere, but no one seemed to know where.
Sam was in her laptop, trying to pay attention to her work, but she couldn't concentrate; she kept looking at the clock thinking that Jack and General Hammond should be back by now. She started to get really worried.
"Major," a firm voice called from the doorway. Sam turned to see General Hammond standing straight as ever, holding Jack's hand. Jack was sipping a soda with the McDonalds logo on it. "It's good to have you back."
Sam smiled and walked over. "Was he that bad sir?" she asked looking down at JJ who was smiling up at her.
General Hammond looked down at Jack and released his hand. "It wasn't all just him."
"I went on rides!" Jack said excitedly. "It was fun!"
Sam smiled. "That's nice," she said. She looked back up at Hammond. "Where'd you take him?"
"The fair," General Hammond answered. "I have to get back to work, Dr. Jackson tells me you didn't find anything?"
Sam nodded. "That's right, the temple… we couldn't find it sir." she placed her hands on Jack's head.
Hammond nodded. "Thank you Major." He said, and then walked away.
Sam smiled down at Jack. "So, you had fun huh?" she wiped away a piece of cotton candy off of his face.
Jack nodded. "Uh-huh! I never been to the fair before!"
"So, what did you do?" she asked, she lifted him onto a chair and sat on the one next to him.
"I did everything! I 'wiked the Farris wheel the best though, you go soooo high!" he raised his hands high, and then dropped them.
"Do you do anything else?" Sam asked.
"Yeah," he answered. "I went on other rides."
Sam smiled and kissed his head. "That's good, so, what do you want to do?"
Jack shrugged. "I don' know," he wiped his somewhat sticky hands on his dirty jeans. "Can… can we go back to your houfe? It's fun there…" he said with a small smile.
Sam returned the smile. "Sure," She said saving her report. "Ready to go?"
Jack nodded. "Uh-huh."
Sam took his hand. "Let's go big boy."
----
Sam unlocked her the doors to her car, then helped Jack buckle in, she got into the drivers seat and sighed. She put her keys into the engine and started the car.
"What's wong miss Sam?" Jack asked as he leaned as close as he could to her. "Are you o'tay?"
Sam nodded. "Yeah, I'm fine JJ, thanks." She stepped on the gas and began to drive away. She wished right now she could have been a mom. It would have been one of the best things that could ever happen to her.
"Miss Sam? I'm hungry." Jack looked out the window at the speeding cars next to them.
Sam smiled. "We're going to stop at a grocery store before we head home, okay?" Jack nodded, but said nothing. It began to sprinkle slightly. A couple of minutes later they parked at a super market. Sam got out of the car and hurried to get Jack out, it was now raining very hard, in no time at all, they were soaked, they rushed into the super market as fast as they could, Sam ended up carrying Jack.
"I wanna push the cart!" Jack complained.
"No," Sam said calmly. "Don't you remember what happened last time you tried to push the cart at that clothing store?"
Jack thought for a moment as he walked along with Sam. "No." he replied.
Sam smiled and lifted him into the cart. "Anyways, it didn't work out so well, what do you want to eat?" she asked.
"Mommy always makes soup when it's dropping outside."
Sam snickered. "When it's raining?"
Jack nodded. "Uh-huh, it's God's sneezing, he has a cold because it's cold outside."
Sam smiled. "Is that so?"
"Uh-huh." Jack nodded his head.
Sam rubbed her hand though Jack's hair. "You're a funny kid," she kissed his forehead. "I'm so lucky I got to know you."
Jack smiled. "I glad I know you too."
"Thank you," she said. "So, what kind of soup do you like? Noodle? Chicken? Chicken noodle?"
Jack nodded. "All that," he replied. "I 'wike all soups!"
"Okay," Sam headed down the soup aisle and filled her cart with a couple cans of soup, and popcorn, when she went to check-out she bought Jack another bag of 'skittles', then they headed home.
----
After having soup and skittles, Jack decided he knew what he wanted to do.
"No," Sam said as she shook her head. "You could catch a cold."
"Please?" he begged. "I wuv jumping in puddles!"
Sam sighed. "JJ, you don't have jacket."
"Can I wear a trash bag?" he asked so cutely that it was almost impossible to say no to.
Sam gave in. After putting her sweater on him then letting him put on his trash bag, she left him outside. Jack ran around the backyard jumping into puddles and smiling happily. "Yay!" he shouted. "Yay! Yay!" he looked up at Sam and waved to her, she waved back. "Come out here Miss Sam!"
"Not this time JJ," she called back. "Thank you though!"
Jack looked disappointed. "O'tay…" he quickly jumped into a big puddle that splashed mud up to his chin.
Sam smiled and watched for half an hour before she finally made him come in and gave him a bath. They cooked bowls and bowls of popcorn then sat down on the couch and began to watch 'the Olympics' which Jack found fascinating.
In no time at all, Jack had fallen asleep on Sam's lap. She looked down at him and smiled. Thunder roared, she yawned, it was time for her to go to bed, she reached over and turned off the TV with the remote, then she gently slipped her arms under Jack's back, and softly lifted him up and laid him on the other side of the couch, she stood up and turned off the light, just then another loud thunder boomed.
She heard Jack whimper, she leaned over to him and patted his back. "It's okay, it's just thunder." She said in a soothing voice.
He sat up and hugged her. "Tan I sleep with you? Pease? I scared…"
Sam froze, knowing she shouldn't let him, but the words slipped out of her mouth before she realized it. "Of course you can, sweetie."
Jack hugged her. "Thank you," he said with a yawn, he laid his head on her shoulder. Sam walked into her bedroom and placed Jack on one side of her bed, and tucked him in, she walked over to her side of the bed and pulled the covers over her, then fell asleep.
----
Sam woke up with the sun on her face; she smiled. "Morning JJ," she said as she rolled over to face him. She froze- Jack was no longer on the bed. "JJ?" she asked, she quickly sat up and looked around, she threw the covers off and ran out of the room. "JJ!" Thor wouldn't have taken him again would he? No, he was just playing hide and go seek.
"Colonel O'Neill," she said, hoping he would get mad and shout back at her, but there was no reply. "Jack? JJ? Where are you?" she looked in the living room and through the rest of her house as she did the first time she had 'lost' him. She now was panicking, she knew he wasn't in the house; she quickly dashed to the back yard. "JJ!"
She didn't find him; she sighed and rushed out of the cold air and back into her warm house. She picked up the phone and dialed Daniel's number, but he wasn't in his lab, the answering machine picked up. "Daniel, this is Sam, I can't find JJ anywhere! Please call me-"
"Sam?" Daniel's voice asked though the speaker.
"Daniel!"
"What do you mean you can't find him?"
"I don't know, I just woke up and he's gone! Disappeared!"
"Sam, we all know that can't happen, did you-"
"Yes Daniel, I checked the whole house, including the basement, he's not here… what do I do?"
"I could bring another team-"
"He's not here Daniel!" she shouted. "I would know if he was, okay? I- I just don't know what to do!"
"Sam, are you sure he didn't find a way out of the house, and run off somewhere?" Daniel asked.
"I don't know, he could have I guess, I locked the doors and windows, but he is a smart kid, I guess he could of gotten through them…" she said, praying he wasn't outside on a street lying dead somewhere.
"Okay… Sam I- oh my god!"
"Daniel? What's wrong?" she asked.
"Sam, you better come to the SGC, now!" Daniel said, before he hung up, Sam heard a shout.
"I'm not a stinkin' colonel! Do I look like a old foggy to you?"
Sam's eyes widened; she dropped the phone and rushed to the car. How'd did he get over there? She shoved her keys into the engine and sped away, as fast as she could, to the SGC.
