Chapter Five

It took them a couple of days and many rest stops before they reached Mark and more importantly Sam.

The group of nine had taken two cars to make the trip more comfortable. Daniel, Janet, Cassie, Bella and Nick were in one car while Jacob, Jack, Teal'c and Hunter were in the other. Hunter wanting to be with his Uncle Teal'c. The two vehicles were communicating via mobile phones.

It turned out that Cassie was pregnant and that had been what her and her husband had been fighting about, Shane didn't want to become a father but Cassie wanted nothing more then to keep the baby. Daniel had almost driven off the road when he heard that his daughter of eight years was about to become a mother.

MacDonald's and Pizza Hut turned out to be popular meal stops and not just by the kids but with Jacob being the one to suggest such stops, explaining that he didn't get a lot of this kind of food with the Tok'ra. The greasy food even appealed to Janet's cravings though some of her combinations made Cassie turn green around the gills. Though She was starting to develop her own cravings for anything chicken.

With two three year olds, two pregnant women, a seven year old, a worried father, a man without his memory and a stoic Jaffa, Daniel thought the trip went quite smoothly. Which explained his good mood as they arrived at Mark's place.

"Alright everyone out," he announced as he pulled up, racing around to help Janet from the vehicle before reaching into the back and removing the twins.

Jacob wasn't far behind and in a couple of seconds the group of nine was heading for the front door.

The door was opened before they reached it and Mark appeared.

"Whoa dad I knew I said family and friends, but what did you do, round up the whole base"

It was Teal'c who answered.

"Indeed we did not Mark Carter, though if you require the entire base, it can be arranged"

Four faces smiled at the Jaffa, in the many years he had been on Earth it was still only his friends that could tell when he was joking.

Mark just looked at the alien before speaking.

"Yeah well anyway… Sam is down in town shopping with Jess, but she should be home soon. The boys are out back playing though if you want to see them." This last comment being directed mainly at Jacob though Cassie, Janet and Daniel all responded as well.

"Haven't seen Sam's boys for ages" Jacob said

"The boys must be getting big by now" mused Daniel.

"Can't wait to see the little namesakes" added Janet

"I haven't seen them in over a year" stated Cassie.

Before Mark knew what was happening the group had made it through the house and were now standing in the backyard. Danny, JJ and Jake raced to greet the newcomers, with his own son keeping up so he could greet his grandfather.

It quickly become clear that his nephews did it fact know these people, even if they hadn't seen them for a while. Pretty quickly the hellos were over and Hunter had been dragged off to play while the adults had coffee.

"Dad just so you know, Sam doesn't know that you were coming, much less anyone else. She isn't going to be pleased" Mark said broaching the subject of why they were all there.

"I know" was Jacob's curt answer as he watched his grandsons play.

"But the only way to help her is to support her and we need to be here to do that"

Sam and Jess were in town so Sam could help her niece pick up something for her mother's birthday. Once the shopping was done they decided on a quick lunch before heading home.

Although Sam tried to stay focused on what the girl was saying her mind started to drift back to her problems and how they had all started. She believed that everything that had happened could be linked back to the moment she had stepped through the gate with no memory of what had happened on the planet she had just returned from. All she knew was she didn't have her Colonel.

Janet made her stay in the infirmary for three days, when all she had wanted to do was go home and cry. She also had to put up with sessions with Mackenzie; he had visited her like ten times in those three days. What a total waste of time, as if there was anything he could say that would make losing Jack easier. The night she was finally allow to go home Pete had shown up, though how she had managed to forget that he was coming she wasn't sure, but she started wishing Daniel and Teal'c hadn't left. It had been that moment that had sealed her next eight years with Pete. In her drunken and sadden state she had Pete had slept together. How he could have enjoyed it she still didn't know because she hadn't found the energy to do more then just lay there. Next thing she knew she was pregnant. Pete was a little weird about the whole thing at first though he finally came around and asked her to marry him. With the baby on the way she didn't she how she had any other options and, after all, it was the responsible thing to do so she accepted.

"Aunt Sam", Aunt Sam" called Jess waving a hand in front of Sam's face to gain her attention. Sam jumped in her seat and snapped out of her thoughts and shook her head.

"Sorry Jess, must of gotten lost in my own thoughts" Sam apologized

"That's cool," answered the teen.

"Oh whoa, look at the time. We better get home, I bet those cousins of yours have destroyed the place" Sam said looking at her watch.

Sam then paid the bill and the two females headed for the car.
