She was in college now. She was an adult. She didn't need her mom with her. She didn't need her protective Uncle Jack hovering over her shoulder.
So why did she keep dialing a phone number that was no longer connected, trying to catch her mom at home, when she knew her mom was dead?
So why was she driving out of the city on Saturdays to watch the stars, hoping to meet with her Uncle Jack when she knew he was in Washington DC?
As she watched the stars that she was taught made up Scorpio, she thought about her uncles, Daniel and Teal'c, and her Aunt Sam, the three were on some other planet, orbiting around one of those far away stars. She was from one of those far away stars, her people gone, but avenged by those that found her among the dead.
She laid her head back against the dewy grass, her hair getting wet, not that she cared.
It wasn't the same, but on some level she felt connected to her family. Alive, passed on; on Earth, or not.
But it still wasn't the same.
