Chapter 8 -o- Deadline

"Does that mean they have a ship?" Hammond asked after they told him what had happened with Daniel.

"It would appear so" Teal'c said nodding his head. "Thor has told us that a ship is required for the transportation to work"

"So they could be anywhere by now?" Hammond asked looking around at them, and landing on Jack.

"We have to assume they're still here" Jack said shaking his head.

"Why?" Hammond asked hating that he didn't have all the answers.

"Because" Jack said sighing "if they've taken him off world we may never find him, and well Sir, that's just not an option" Jack said with a stern look in his eyes.

"Ok, well for now we assume they're still on earth, which means we need to find them, before they go off world" Hammond said looking over at Sam.

"Well at the moment we don't really have much to go on" She said shaking her head. "Thor is trying to do scans but he says something is interfering with his equipment, we think it's probably the renegade Asguard. We still have no idea why they may have taken Daniel but/

"I have an idea" Jonas said speaking up for the first time. Within seconds all eyes were on him. He looked around a little nervous and shifted in his seat took a deep breath and sighed. "Well Thor told us that the renegades are looking for ways to make themselves more human."

"Uh-huh, they've been taking human host like the Goa'uld" Jack said nodding his head.

"Right" Jonas said nodding his head too. "But I think that they want to make it more permanent, Thor told us they can only stay in a human for about a week" Jonas said looking over at Sam to see if she saw where he was going with this. "I think they've been testing Daniel to see/

"To see if he's their answer" Sam said finishing his thought.

"Yes" Jonas said sighing. "I think they think Daniel is their missing link"

"Sam's and Kiaras' kidnapping?" Jack asked as it started to kick in. "The APP?"

"Both tests to see what it was Daniel could do" Jonas said nodding his head. "And it could go back farther then this" he said looking to Jack. "All the things Daniel has done in the last few months" When he said this Jack's face went pale and he looked down at the table. When his face came back up there was fire in his eyes.

"The car crash?" he asked barely controlling the anger.

"It's a possibility" Jonas said nodding his head. About a week before Charlie had shown up Kiara had almost been hit by a runaway car, and would have been had it not been for Daniel. Daniel had called and told Jack he had to get to Kiaras school; he had gone to the school and just barely been in time to save her.

"So we need to find them" Sam said putting her hand on Jack's. You could actually see him visibly relax, but the anger was still there, just under the surface.

"The only person who could find us and the APP was Daniel" Sam said shaking her head feeling a little hopeless.

"Yeah, it's ironic that Danny's not here to save himself" Jack said smirking a little. "We need to find some way to weed him out" Jack said a few seconds later. "There must be something"

o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-

The first thing Daniel became aware of as his mind surfaced was that it was very dark. He sat up and looked around trying to make out his surroundings. As his eyes adjusted to the dark he could see things a little better. There was nothing but the bed he was sitting on and the table next to it, the rest of the room was totally empty. He was in some kind of room, but there didn't seem to be a door anywhere. He stood up and walked to the nearest wall then walked around the outside feeling along for a door, window or anything that might be a light. But he found nothing on the walls. Sighing in frustration he sat back down on the bed.

He looked down at his watch and realized he must have been out for at lest eight hours. The last thing he remembered was sitting at Jack's when he was beamed away. He had thought at first it was Thor and was smiling when he reappeared on a ship. It became clear quite fast this was not Thor. They had drugged him with something and everything had gone black. Had he not known about the renegade Asguard he would have thought they were human. He hoped Janet and the kids were ok, he knew Jack would look after them while he was stuck here.

"Hello?" He said standing up again and looking around the room. There must be some one watching him, unless this turned out to be like what happened to Sam and Kiara. "Hello?" He said again circling in place. "Come on could you at lest turn on the lights?" As sooner as the words were out of his mouth the lights flashed on. Daniel smirked and nodded his head. "How about letting me go?" he asked, since they were being so cooperative.

"I think not Dr. Jackson" A voice said from a speaker high in the corner he had not seen.

o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-

Jack sat alone in his office (They had left it as is when he retired, he came back often enough to need an office) staring at what had once been a blank wall. It was now covered from floor to ceiling in pictures. Pictures that Kiara made in school and pictures of the many family outings they had gone on. There were also a lot of pictures of all of SG-1, past and present. Once years ago Daniel had gone missing and Jack had sat here in this exact same spot staring at the exact same wall, the answer to finding Daniel, or the beginning of an answer, had popped into his head then, he was kinda hoping it worked again.

He reached for his coffee mug, when he found it empty he had to struggle against the urge to just heave it against the door. He sighed and set the cup down with a loud thud and was glad he hadn't thrown it when Sam walked in a second later. She had a smile on her face that didn't even begin to hide the anger and weariness. She walked over and just sat down in the chair across from him.

"We've tried everything" She said shaking her head. "We can't do anything to fix Thor's ship" She ran her hands over her face and sighed. "And I don't think we have a lot of time, I think if they're going to do something it's going to be soon" Now she stood up and started pacing back and forth in front of Jack's desk.

"I think they already know just what they're going to do with Daniel and if we don't hurry we're going to be too late" She said shaking her head. "I just can't think of any way to find him, I mean it's not like we can track him or something like that. What are we suppose to do? Just sit around and wait for him to pop up? He must be sitting somewhere waiting for us to find him and we're just sitting here twiddling our thumbs and what good is that doing him!" She demanded as she whirled around to face Jack. She looked at him for about thirty seconds before she broke down in sobs. Jack shot up from his chair and rushed over to her. She wrapped herself around him and cried as he rubbed her back. She hiccupped and backed away wiping at her eyes.

"I'm sorry" she said shaking her head as she turned the chair around and sat down. "It's just these damn hormones" She said sighing, she was after all almost two months pregnant.

"Hey, it's ok" Jack said kneeling down next to her not really sure what to say. He may have changed a lot over the last few years but when it came to crying women he was still totally lost. Sam smiled and nodded her head.

"I'm just so frustrated" She said taking his hand when he put it on her knee. She looked him over and stood up. "Get up" She said smiling a little now. "You're going to hurt your knees" She said pulling up on his hand. He stood up and pulled her close to him.

"We will find him" He said holding her tight. "We'll find him in time, I promise"

o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-

Daniel looked up from his spot on the bed as part of the wall on his left started to rise. A man Daniel vaguely recognized walked in carrying a tray with what looked like a syringe on it. As the man drew nearer Daniel realized who he was.

"So how long ago did you take him over?" Daniel asked the Asguard residing in Major Wilson's body.

"Oh about five days now" he said smiling at Daniel in a way that reminded him of the Goa'uld. "In another day of so he'll be worthless to me" He said sighing "Which is too bad, it was nice being on the inside." He smiled and shrugged. "Oh well, it's not as hard to take one of you guys over as you would think. I'll just have to find a new body, at lest until we find what we're looking for." He said shaking his head.

"Right" Daniel said nodding his head. "What's the syringe for?" He asked looking down at the table.

"I'm here to take some blood; you should hope we find what we're looking for in it, other wise..." He trailed off and then ran his finger across his throat. Daniel didn't struggle as he took the blood, there didn't seem to be any point in it, they wouldn't find anything in his blood. Janet had done many workups on it over the years, even given some to Thor and found nothing out of the ordinary.

"So how long is that going to take?" Daniel asked trying to look a little shaken up.

"About three hours" he said smirking at him. He turned with the tray and walked out only to have someone new walk into the room with a tray of food. He looked at Daniel with what might have passed as sympathy then set the food down and walked out without saying a word. Daniel looked down at the bread and water, 'watched a few too many prison movies?' he thought as he realized he wasn't hungry.

o-o-o-o-o-o-o-

"Just a second Jack" Hammond said holding up his hand to silence Jack when his phone rang. Hammond picked it up and a few seconds later he nodded his head and said "Send him down."

"Who was that?" Jack asked looking from the phone to Hammond.

"That was Major Baxter" Hammond said shaking his head. "With every thing that's been going on I forgot we were having a visitor today" He looked up at Jack.

"Who is it?" Jack asked wondering if this was going to make things harder on them, Jack really couldn't take a visit from some one the likes of Simmons or Kinsey right now.

"General West" Hammond said with a small smile on his face. "It seems his daughter was just adopted into the stargate program" He said standing. "She graduated from the Academy second in her class. After her field training she should be a very valuable member"

"Well that's good" Jack said nodding his head. He listened to about half of what Hammond just said. His mind was understandable somewhere else at the moment. "Ok, well I just stopped by to tell you that we still haven't found anything" Hammonds face fell when Jack said that and he nodded.

"I'll try to be as fast with him as possible, I want everyone working on getting Daniel home" Hammond said walking to the door with Jack. Just as Jack was about to open it there was a knock at the door. Jack pulled it open to find General West standing there smiling at him.

"Colonel O'Neill" He said his face brightening. "I was told you retired?" He asked still smiling.

"I did" He said nodding his head. "Hammond I'll be back in Sam's office if you find anything" He said nodding to General West and walking through the door.

"Was it something I said?" West asked as he watched Jack walk down the hall. He turned back to Hammond who had a forlorn look on his face.

"No Jack is just a little worried right now" Hammond said shaking his head. "We're all a little worried right now"

"Why, what's going on?" He asked sitting down across from Hammond.

"Dr. Jackson has been missing since last night" Hammond said folding his hands together on his desk. "We know who has him but have no way of finding him" Hammond said shaking his head. "Our ally in this matter hasn't been able to help us at all"

"Why don't you just turn on his tracker?" West asked looking confused, like it should have been painfully obvious to him.

"His what?" Hammond asked sitting up a little.

o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-

Jack walked into Sam's office with a frown on his face. He still had no ideas about how to get Daniel back and by the look on Sam's face he didn't think she was any farther along. She looked up at him when he walked through the door and tried a weak smile witch turned quickly into a frown. Jack walked over and sat down at her work table and looked over the computer at her.

"Whatcha workin on?"

"I'm trying to find away around their blocks" Sam said shaking her head. "I thought I may find a way that Thor wouldn't think of" She said looking down at the screen and sighing.

"A dumb idea?" He asked with a half hearted smile.

"Yeah" She said nodding her head. "But I haven't found it yet"

"You will" He said nodding his head. "Where's Janet?"

"She's off looking over SG-5, one of them came back with a pretty bad staff wound" Sam stood up and walked around the table to him. "She's trying to keep her mind off it" Sam said shaking her head.

"You should take a break" he said putting his hand on her belly. "Don't over do it"

"I wont" Sam said nodding her head. "I just have a few more things I want to try, and then I'll try and eat"

"Ok" Jack said nodding his head. "General West is here" he said as she walked back around the desk.

"That's who was here when you first went through the gate right?" Sam asked as she sat down.

"Yeah" Jack said nodding his head. "His daughter just got accepted into the Stargate program"

"Oh" Sam said nodding her head she was just as excited has Jack had been.

"I'm going to go..." he trailed off looking down at his hands. Truthfully he didn't know what to go do, he had tried helping Sam but just got in her way and Teal'c was kel'no'reeming so not much he could help with there. And Jonas was off doing something helpful he, he wasn't sure what though. Sam looked up and him and nodded her head.

"Way don't you go home for a while, maybe see how Cassie and Charlie are doing with the kids?" She asked "I'm sure CC could use some reassurance."

"Yeah" Jack said nodding his head. They could all probably use a little reassurance. He got up and kissed Sam on the forehead and grabbed the cell phone off the desk. "Call me if you/

"Find anything" Sam finished for him with a loving look. "I will, don't worry, we'll find him and bring him home, it's only a matter of finding him"

"And we're good at that" Jack said smirking a little.

"Yep" Sam said nodding her head as he walked out the door. She wished she was as confident as she made herself sound.

o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-

Daniel sat on his bed with his eyes closed pretending to be asleep. It had been about two hours since they took his blood; witch meant if SG-1 didn't find him soon he was dead meat. Of course he had total confidence in his team, they would find him in time, they always did. He could just picture Jack walking from room to room trying to help, Sam working on her computer, Janet helping other SG teams, because she was never one to sit and do nothing so if she couldn't help look for him she would help some other way. Thinking about them all made him miss them like he hadn't seen them in weeks not hours. He sat up on the bed and crossed his legs, this worked better with candles but he could do without. He closed his eyes again and started to Kel'no'reem.

o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-

"Daddy!" Kiara said running over to him when he walked through the door. 'Have we found Uncle Danny yet?" She asked looking up at him with her big brown eyes all full of hope.

"Not yet Kiara" He said shaking his head and setting her back down on the floor. "But we're working on it"

"Hey dad" Charlie said coming in from the other room. CC was trailing behind him holding his hand with one hand while clutching an old stuffed sphinx of Daniel's in the other hand. She looked up at him with the same hope in her eyes, only hers were brimming with tears.

"Did you find my daddy yet?" She asked trying to hold back the tears.

"Not yet sweetie" he said kneeling down in front of her. "But we are working really hard at it" She nodded her head and pulled the stuffed animal closer to her.

"What are you guys doing up any how?" He asked looking down at Kiara. It was only about 7:45 in the morning, he had expected to find the little ones still in bed. She shrugged her shoulders as Cassie walked in carrying a crying Danny. She looked up at Jack with hope in her eyes, before she could ask he shook his head and she nodded.

"He wont let any of us sleep" She said looking down at Danny. "I can't get him to sleep, I think he wants his daddy" She said sighing. Jack nodded his head and walked over to her.

"Here let me" He said taking the crying baby. "Why don't you four go make something to eat? I'll see if I can get him to sleep"

"Ok daddy" Kiara said nodding her head. He bent down and kissed her on the forehead. She smiled at him half heartedly then followed the other three into the kitchen. Jack sighed as he looked down at a sobbing Danny. He was already stating to look just like his father; he had the same blue eyes and brown floppy hair. Jack walked into the baby's room and went over to the rocking chair and sat down. He looked down at Danny as he tried to remember the lullaby he use to sing to Charlie.

Toora, loora, loora
Toora, loora, li
Toora, loora, loora
Hush, now, don't you cry
Ah,
Toora, loora, loora
Toora, loora, li
Toora, loora, loora
It's an Irish lullaby

Over in Killarney, many years ago
My mother sang this song to me in tones so sweet and low
Just a simple little ditty in her good old Irish way
And I'd give the world if she could sing that song to me this day

Toora, loora, loora
Toora, loora, li
Toora, loora, loora
Hush, now, don't you cry
Ah,
Toora, loora, loora
Toora, loora, li
Toora, loora, loora
It's an Irish lullaby

"I remember that" Charlie said startling Jack. He turned to find Charlie standing there leaning against the door frame. Danny was fast asleep in his arms him thumb in his mouth. Jack nodded his head and smiled.

"I stopped singing it after you were about two" He said smiling at him then he frowned a little and looked back down at Danny. "I don't know why" He said sighing. Charlie walked into the room and sat down on the floor in front of Jack.

"So how are you doing?" He asked taking in the bags under his eyes and the way he winced a little when he turned his head to look at him.

"I'm fine" He said not sounding 'fine' at all.

"Yeah" Charlie said nodding his head. "Let me take him, you should take a nap or something, you'll be no good to Daniel dead on your feet" Charlie said smiling as he reached for the baby, Jack shook his head and smiled.

"We're ok" he said looking down at Danny. "I think we'll just sit here for a minute, I'll come down in a while."

"Ok" Charlie said nodding his head and smiling. He turned and walked over to the door but stopped and turned around to look at Jack. "He doesn't blame you" Charlie said with a thoughtful and loving expression on his face.

"Who doesn't?" Jack asked looking up at Charlie.

"Your Charlie, he doesn't blame you, I know I never did" He smiled at him then turned and walked out the door before Jack could say anything in return. Jack looked down at Danny and hoped that was true.

o-o-o-o-o-o-o-

"SG-1 to the briefing room, SG-1 to the briefing room" Sam looked up from her computer when she heard this. It was unusual to be paged like that. She saved what she had been working on and walked out the door. She met up with Teal'c and Jonas in the elevator and smiled weakly at them. Teal'c nodded his head at her and Jonas tried to return the smile, with little success, they were all wound very tight.

"Any luck?" Sam asked looking to Teal'c.

"No" He said shaking his head. He had been trying to commune with Daniel through Kel'no'reem. It had worked once before when they tried it a few years ago but he apparently wasn't making any progress this time, of course last time they had only been a room apart. They were all silent on the way to the briefing room, none of them knowing what to say to the other.

Sam nodded at Janet and walked over to sit next to her. Hammond and who she assumed was General West walked into the room. Hammond had a very happy look on his face and Sam wondered what was going on.

"Where's Jack?" Hammond asked looking around at them.

"I sent him home to look in on every one" Sam said looking over at Janet. She too had noticed the look on Hammond's face and hoped this meant good news.

"You actually got him to leave the base?" Janet asked very surprised.

"Yeah" Sam said nodding her head. "Only on the promise that I'd get something to eat" She looked over at Hammond. "Do we need to call him?"

"No, we can fill him in" Hammond said smiling at her. He looked over at West and nodded his head. "I know none of you have meet General West but he headed up the Stargate program when Jack and Daniel first went through" there were nods all around and Hammond continued. "Well he has some good news, General?" He said looking over at him.

"We know where Dr. Jackson is" He said smiling at them.

"What?" "How?" "Where?" Were all said at the same time around the room. West held up his hand and smiled.

"Let me explain" He said looking to Janet. "Before they went through the gate that first time they were all injected with a homing device, to monitor health and location, we of course had no idea it would be totally ineffective once the gate deactivated. But the general and I have found the signal and now know where he is being held"

"Why didn't I know about this?" Janet demanded, "As SG-1's doctor I should have been informed of this" She said looking from Hammond to West and back again.

"I assure you I had no idea about this" Hammond said looking at Janet them Sam. "Apparently the information just got lost some where in the jumble"

"Why didn't Jack know?" Sam asked looking hard at General West.

"I don't know" West said shaking his head. "He was to be made aware of the device but I guess for what ever reason he was never told. The point is we know where Daniel is and can mount a rescue" Sam nodded her head and turned and smiled at Janet.

"We should inform Thor" Sam said looking at Hammond. "And I need to tell Jack."

"Yes of course" Hammond said nodding his head.

"I'll tell Thor" Jonas said smiling at her. "You should get Jack"

"Thanks" She said nodding her head and turning to Janet she smiled. "We'll bring him home safe and sound"

"I know you will" Janet said nodding her head and smiling.

o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-

Jack looked around and was sure he must be dreaming. He was standing in a small room with no doors or windows looking down at Daniel, he had his eyes closed and was sitting cross legged on a bed. He opened his eyes looked up at Jack and smiled. Jack looked around the room and down at the smiling Daniel.

"So how you doing?" he asked thinking that sounded about right for this moment, he was after all dreaming.

"Ok" Daniel said smiling at him. "They took blood a while ago, though they tell me if they don't find what their looking for their going to cut me open" He said shaking his head. "They actually gave me bread and water."

"Wow" Jack said sitting down on the end of the bed.

"Yeah" Daniel said nodding his head. "So how goes the search?" He asked looking up from his hands.

"Not good" Jack said seeing no reason to lie to dream Daniel. "I haven't been at the base in the last hour or so though, maybe they found you already and are just letting me sleep." Jack said smiling.

"No, they haven't found me yet, not if I'm still talking to you" He said smiling at Jack. Jack looked up at Daniel and studied him for a second; he was wearing the same thing as when he disappeared.

"This is a dream right?" he asked looking unsure.

"Nope" Daniel said shaking his head. "I was trying to get a hold of Teal'c, but I can't find him" His smile widened and he chuckled. "Your mind must be very open right now, what were you doing before you fell asleep?"

"Rocking Danny to sleep" he said still not sure if he was dreaming or not.

"You're not dreaming Jack" Daniel said. Jack's head shot up and he sat back a little. "Relax, I can't read your mind or anything, I just know your look of doubt." Daniel smiled at him and sighed. "How is Danny?"

"He wants his dad" Jack said nodding his head. Deciding that this was in fact a dream he decided to talk about what Charlie had said. "Charlie told me something before I fell asleep"

"What?" Daniel asked wondering if Jack believed now that this wasn't a dream.

"He told me my Charlie never blamed me for what happened" Jack said looking down at his empty hands.

"He doesn't" Daniel said shaking his head. "I've been telling you that for years, but then I'm sure it helps coming strait from the source"

"Yeah" Jack said nodding his head. He looked up and noticed Daniel was starting to fade out.

"Someone's trying to wake you" Daniel said smiling. "See you soon, I hope"

"Jack" Charlie was saying as he shook him a little not wanting to wake Danny. "Jack Sam just called, they found him" That had Jack opening his eyes and looking up at Charlie.

"What?" he asked looking down at Danny. He stood up very slowly and walked over to the crib. He placed Danny down and turned to Charlie. "They found him?"

"Yeah" Charlie said nodding his head. "Sam didn't explain, she just said to get your six over there" Jack nodded his head and headed for the door he to stopped and turned to face Charlie.

"You know people have been telling me that it wasn't my fault for years, that Charlie wouldn't have blamed me" He smiled at him and sighed. "I guess now I have a small hope that that could be true. Thank you" He said turning and walking out the door leaving Charlie there to smile and nod his head.

o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-

"Well what the hell are we waiting for?" Jack asked after the situation was explained to him. He looked for Sam to Janet and back to West. "Shouldn't we go get him?"

"Don't you have some questions?" West asked as Jack stood up.

"Well yeah" Jack said nodding his head. "But I think we have time for that later, Daniel doesn't have much time" He said as his dream came rushing back to him. Now he wasn't so sure it had been just a dream.

"What do you mean he doesn't have much time?" Janet asked looking up at Jack.

"I had...a dream" Jack said looking around at them.

"Daniel contacted you then?" Teal'c asked looking at him with a raised eyebrow.

"Yeah he said he was trying to get you but couldn't find you, what ever that means" Jack said looking impatient. "Can we talk about this later I think we should get Thor to let him know we found him, maybe he can just beam him out like with Sam and Kiara."

"We all ready talked to Thor" Sam said walking over to Jack. "He'll be here in a little while to take us to Daniel"

"Ok then" Jack said nodding his head.

"Sir with your permission I'd like to go along" Janet said standing and looking down at Hammond. Hammond looked down at his hands and then back up at her and nodded.

o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-

"Well it seems that you are indeed in trouble" the Asguard in Major Wilson body said when he came into the room. Daniel opened his eyes as he came out of the kel'no'reem the Asguard had a smirk on his face and a joy in his eyes that worried Daniel. "We didn't find anything in your blood"

"Yeah I figured as much" Daniel said nodding his head. "So, what now?"

"Now we cute you open and see what we find" He said smiling wickedly at him. "So hold still and it'll all be over in a minute" He said pulling a syringe from his breast pocket. Three other people walked into the room and over to Daniel. Major Wilson nodded and they all bent down over Daniel to hold him down. Daniel struggled but they were all very strong. The needle went in and Daniel could feel the liquid fly into his veins. It seemed to set his blood on fire for a few seconds then everything started to get fuzzy around the edges.

"Prep the...need him to live through...see to it that..." Daniel could hear voices filter in and out as they wheeled him down an empty hallway. Daniel's last thought before he was sucked into a dark void was that he hoped to see his family again.

o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-

"So there's really nothing you can do?" Janet asked as they all once again sat around the table on Thor's ship. Thor had just informed them that he could not beam Daniel out, there was some kind of interference and he could not find away around it.

"I am sorry Dr. Frasier" Thor said looking upset about the whole situation.

"It's alright" Jack said shaking his head. "We'll just have to go in and get him."

"Agreed," Jonas said nodding his head. "So how do we get in there?"

"I can scan the building" Thor said standing up and walking over to the control panel. "We will find the best way in"

"Are they only blocking you from transporting people?" Sam asked looking over at Thor.

"They are" He said nodding his head. "Do you have an idea?"

"Well yeah, can you pull up the scan of the building?" Thor nodded his head and a second later the lay out of the building was in front of them on the large wall screen.

"Now can you show me where all the Asguard are?" She asked Thor nodded his head as he started to see where she was going with this. About 25 yellow dots appeared on the screen all over the building. A second later four blue dots appeared on the screen as well.

"What are the blue dots?" Jack asked looking from Sam to Thor.

"They are the humans in the building" Thor said looking over to Sam. "Is this what you 'had in mind'?" He asked smiling at Jack.

"Yeah" Sam said nodding her head. "I had hoped Daniel would be the only human" She said shaking her head. "Ok so this is what we'll do" Sam said turning to look at Jack Jonas and Teal'c. "There are three blue dots all together so we'll assume that Daniel is the lone blue dot here" She said pointing it out. "You three will go down while Janet and I watch from here and tell you where to go"

"Ok" Jack said nodding his head. Five minutes later they had found the easiest way in. They had contacted Hammond and he was sending them some Tok'ra Isotope to keep them invisible to the renegade Asguards sensors.

"Sam do you think he'll be ok?" Janet asked as the guys got their stuff all set up.

"He's survived worse then this" Sam said smiling at her. "We know where he is now, all we have to do is go in and get him"

"Right" Janet said nodding her head. "Ok, thanks" Sam put her hand on Janets shoulder and smiled at her.

"I have studied their systems" Thor said walking up to Jack. "This will unlock the doors and neutralize their alarms" Thor held up the round little devise and showed Jack how to use it.

"Thanks Thor" Jack said taking it from him. "Ok, we're ready" Jack said smiling at them. "Watch our six?"

"Always Sir" Sam said making him smile. Jack nodded to Thor who then beamed the three of them down. Jack looked around the building and nodded to Jonas and Teal'c to head to the door. Jack pulled out the thing Thor had given him, he put it on the door and pushed and turned it like Thor had told him. There was a small peep and the door fell open a little. Jack pushed it in and smiled a little. They moved in with Jack in the lead, they walked to the end of the hall where they had to turn left.

"Take the first hall on your right" Sam said looking down at the screen.

"Ok" Jack said nodding his head; he looked back at Jonas and Teal'c to make sure they got it to. They nodded there heads and the three of them moved on. Sam looked down at the screen and saw that the four blue dots had broken up. They were now in two groups of two moving away from each other. Sam didn't know where to send Jack.

"Thor I know you can't beam us down into the building but what about a hologram?" Sam asked turning to look at Thor.

"I will see what I can do" Thor said nodding his head and turning to the control panel. Sam looked over at Janet and at once they looked down at the screen.

"Jack we're not sure where Daniel is anymore" Sam said looking back at Thor. "The blue dots are all moving, we're working on a plan, hold tight"

"Ok" Jack said looking back at Teal'c and Jonas, they nodded. "Are we safe to stay here?" Jack asked looking around the long corridor. Sam looked on the screen and saw that there were no yellow dots in the near vicinity, nor any moving towards them.

"You're good Jack" Sam said nodding her head.

"Right" Jack said nodding his head.

"Colonel Carter" Thor said turning to look at her. "I think I may have an idea" he said looking back at the panel.

o-o-o-o-o-o-o-

Daniel blinked his eyes a few times, he was sure he must still be unconscious, because this had to be a dream. He was laying in a hospital bed in the SGC. Janet's head was lying on the bed next to his right hand. He looked around the room to find that all of SG-1 minuses Jack were there. Jonas was in the bed next to him, his shoulder was wrapped and he was sleeping. He tried to sit up but before he could get his shoulders off the bed his head started to spin. He fell back onto the bed causing it to shake. Janet lifted her head off the bed and sat up slowly. When she saw he was awake she smiled brightly at him.

"Hey there" She said taking his hand. He could see she had been crying and hoped Jack was ok.

"Hey" he said groggily. "What happened?" He asked looking over at Jonas. "Where's Jack?"

"I'm right here" Jack said coming in holding two cups of what Daniel hoped was coffee. "Doc said it was ok if you had something to drink when you woke up" He said handing Daniel one of the cups. Daniel smiled and took the cup. He took a big drink and almost spit it out all over.

"What is this?" he asked looking up at a smirking Jack.

"Sorry Danny Boy" Jack said taking a drink of what ever he had, coffee no doubt. "No caffeine for you for a few hours, just tea" Daniel groaned and set the cup down.

"Your funny" He said sarcastically to Jack shaking his head. "A guy gets kidnapped by aliens and he cant even get a good cup of coffee" He said shaking his head and sighing. He looked over at Sam; she was asleep on a chair with what Daniel assumed was Jack jacket wrapped around her. Teal'c was sitting in a chair next to her with his eyes closed, Daniel assumed he was asleep; he did that more often nowadays.

"What happened to Jonas?" Daniel asked looking over at him. "He ok?"

"He'll live" Jack said smirking a little.

"So what happened?" Daniel asked again looking around at the only awake people.

"Well after we found out where they were keeping you we went in to get you...

"Colonel Carter I think I may have an idea" Thor said looking down at the control panel. "I believe I could project one of you down to where we think Dr. Jackson is with out you being seen" He said turning around.

"Wow, ok" Sam said nodding her head. "Could you project me to Jack first? So I can tell him what's going on?"

"Yes" Thor said nodding his head.

"Hello" Jack said taken aback a little when Sam appeared in front of him. "You find Daniel?"

"No yet" Sam said shaking her head. "Thor's going to project me to the spots we think he is, so I can find out where he is"

"Won't they see you?" Jack said not liking the sound of this plan. "That kinda ruins the surprise"

"No, he'll make me invisible" Sam said smirking at him.

"Well then by all means go find Danny Boy" He said smiling at her.

"Janet's keeping an eye on you guys" She said smiling at him.

"Ok" Jack said nodding his head, she smiled at him shimmered and was gone. Sam appeared in a long hall way with two tall men she recognized from the SGC there. 'These were the humans helping them?' Sam thought outraged. Well they would deal with them later. Sam was happy to see that nether of them could see her. They walk right through her talking about the last football game. Sam turned and talked to Thor. She disappeared from here and appeared in what looked like an OR. Daniel was strapped to a table and he looked to be totally out of it. Sam stepped out of the hologram and walked over to the screen where Janet and Thor where.

"He's in the last one" Sam said looking to Janet.

"That one then" Janet said pointing it out.

"Jack" Sam said looking down at where Daniel was. Go all the way down the hall" Sam looked down at the screen and smiled. "It's clear"

Jack nodded and they all walked down the hall. Sam watched as they walked down the hall, they were all red dots. They were just passing a door on their right when six yellow dots came out of a room and started towards them.

"Jack, go into the room you just passed" Sam said urgently. She was relieved that no one was in that room right now. Jack didn't ask any questions he just ran back opened the door as Jonas and Teal'c ran in shutting the door just as the six Asguard rounded the corner. Sam watched as they headed down the hall and then stopped in front of the room they had just gone into.

"Jack" Sam whispered even though the mic was in Jack's ear. "Six Asguard may be entering the room" Jack nodded his head and waited for more info from Sam. Sam watched as they stood there for a few seconds then all but two of them walked the other way.

"Jack, it's just two of them" Sam said. Jack, Jonas and Teal'c backed away from the door they all pulled their zats out and waited. The door opened and two men walked in talking. They didn't even know what hit them as they fell to the ground. The three of them pulled them into the room and shut the door. Jack smiled at Jonas after getting a good look at the room they were in. A few seconds later they were back out in the hall.

"Jack what did you do with them?" Sam asked as she watched them move down the hall. The two yellow dots were totally still.

"They're sleeping" Jack said and Sam could hear the smile in his voice. Jack had put them in the beds that lined the walls of that room. When they reached the end of the hall they could either go left or right. "Where to?"

"Go left" Sam said hoping the halls would stay empty. "Look right when you get to the end of the hall" Sam said, she was going to show them a door at the end of the hall that they could use to get out. Jack stopped at the fork in the hallway.

"Ok" Jack said "So, I'm looking at the door right?" He asked smirking. "Thanks" He said looking back at Jonas and Teal'c.

"Go strait through the hall way to the first door on you right" Sam said looking down at the screen. "That's where Daniel is" Sam said counting the people in the room. "Jack there are seven people in the room, two guards at the door and four doctors and one guard at the back. All the guards have P-90s Jack" Sam said looking over at Janet.

"They have Daniel strapped to the bed" Janet said trying not to let the worry seep into her voice.

"We'll get him" Jack whispered looking around them. "Teal'c you blast the door and Jonas and I will go in and take out the guards."

"Indeed" Talc said nodding his head. Jack and Jonas both took places on each side of the door.

"Jack your going to have to be quick, there are about five guys headed your way, you have about four minutes" Sam said wishing she could be down there with them helping.

"Right" Jack said nodding at Teal'c. He nodded back once opened the staff weapon and fired on the door. Jack and Jonas rushed in firing at the guards. The blast from the staff took out one of the guys at the door and Jack got the other one on the way in. The one from the back shot Jonas in the shoulder before Jonas shot him. All four of the doctors took a step away from Daniel and reached for guns on the counters next to them. They never got to them though before Jack and Jonas took them out.

Jack could hear running feet now as he unstrapped Daniel from the bed. Teal'c ran over and threw Daniel over his shoulder while Jonas and Jack went to the door to fight off the other Asguards. They made it out of the room and back down the hall before the Asguard caught up to them. Teal'c ran for the door as Jack and Jonas returned fire. Jack cringed as he felt a bullet graze his leg. Teal'c, not wanting to waist time on locks blasted the door open. As soon as they were out side the building they were beamed onto Thor's ship.

"Your leg ok?" Daniel asked peering over the bed to look at it.

"Yeah I'm fine" Jack said nodding his head. There was a knock at the sickbay door, Jack walked over and opened the door and stuck his head out. Jack turned around and smiled at Daniel. "There's someone here to see you" Jack said opening the door wide for Charlie and Cassie to walk through. CC was following far behind, almost scared, but the second she saw Daniel her face lit up and she broke into a run.

"Daddy!" She said jumping up into the bed and flinging herself onto him. "We were so scared" She said as tears ran down her cheeks. "I love you!" Daniel held her to him and smiled at Charlie and Cassie.

"Hey Dad" Cassie said smiling at him. She handed Janet Danny and sat down on the edge of the bed. "How you feeling?"

"A little groggy" He said smiling at CC when she sat up a little. "But better now" He looked over at a waking Sam and smiled. "Hey Sam" He said as she stood and stretched.

"Good to see you Daniel" Sam said walking over. Teal'c opened his eyes and looked up at Daniel.

"Indeed it is" He said standing up and walking over to him, he wasn't even the slightest bit groggy. 'Lucky' Daniel thought smiling at him.

"Hey, how about a little sympathy for the man who got shot?" Jonas said sitting up in the bed and wincing. Daniel looked over at him happy to see that he was in fact ok.

"Thanks Jonas" Daniel said smiling at him.

"Hey it wasn't that bad" He said smiling at Daniel. "You know that was the first time I've been shot" he said looking down at his shoulder and wincing. Every one laughed and nodded there heads.

"So, Jack," Daniel said turning to smile at him "You enjoying your retirement?"

o-o-o-o-o-o-o-

A week later Daniel was sitting at his desk in his house looking down at the report from the capture of all of the renegade Asguard. Thor had moved in as soon as he was safe and captured or eliminated them all, no one had escaped. Thor had found a way to remove the Asguard from the bodies and was working on a way to revive the bodies. So far he was having no luck. Daniel hadn't been back to the SGC since he was released six days ago. He turned and looked at the door as it creaked open and Cassie peeked her head in.

"Am I interrupting you?" She asked smiling at him.

"Not at all" Daniel said closing the file and putting it in his desk. Cassie opened the door all the way and walked in carrying a bowl of cut up fruit. She handed it to him and he took it as she sat down on the couch across from him.

"How are you doing?" She asked smiling at him.

"I'm fine" Daniel said shaking his head. "I wasn't even gone a whole day." He said smiling at her. "You know, I don't think I've thanked you for all you've been doing the last few weeks." He looked up at her and smiled. "In fact what are you still doing here? You need to get back to school"

"I will" Cassie said nodding her head. "I just want to make sure every thing here is ok"

"It is" Daniel said nodding his head. "You know I thank my lucky stars that CC is going to have a sister like you to look up to" Daniel said standing up and walking over to her. "I love you kiddo" he said sitting down next to her. "And you need to get back to school"

"Ok" Cassie said nodding her head. "I'll leave at the end of the week." She said smiling at him. "CC wants you to come tuck her in" She said smiling at him.

"Ok" he said nodding his head. He put the fruit in his mini fridge and walked over to the door. "You are going to make one hell of a doctor" he said smiling at her.

"Thanks" She said standing and walking to the door. "And I love you too dad" She said hugging him. "See you tomorrow."

"Good night" Daniel said kissing her on the forehead. She turned and walked down the hall to her room. Daniel walked down the hall the other way and walked into his daughter's room to find Janet sitting with their daughter reading a book.

"Hey there kid" Daniel said sitting down next to them.

"Hi daddy" She said smiling up at him. "We're reading the 'Little Women'" She said holding up the book for him to see. He smiled over at Janet who shrugged her shoulders.

"She picked it" she said looking down at her.

"Can you read it to me?" Daniel asked lying down with CC next to him and Janet on the other side of her.

"Ok" She said opening the book to the third Chapter. "Jo! Jo! Where are you?" Cried Meg at the foot of the garret stairs." CC said smiling at Daniel. She got about halfway through the third Chapter before she fell asleep. Daniel tucked her in and he and Janet walked to their room. Daniel was quite the whole time they were changing and Janet started to wonder if something was wrong.

"Janet" he said looking up at her from the bed side. "I'm thinking of retiring" He said taking a deep breath. "I want to be here, with CC and Danny, I don't want to have to send them to a day care, and I can't keep putting my self at risk, they need me to be here for them" Janet walked over to him and smiled down at him.

"If that's what you want to do" She said smiling at him. "I know they'll miss you, I'll miss you"

"I'll miss you too" he said reaching out and cupping her face in his hand. "I love you" He said leaning in to kiss her.

"I love you too" She said before his mouth landed on hers.

o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-

"Do you think she'd be happier not knowing?" Jack asked turning to look at Sam. Maybe if he could convince her he could convince himself. Sam looked over at him with a faint smile on her face. She reached across the car seat and cupped his cheek in her hand. With her other hand she reached across and turned the car off.

"I love you" She said smiling at him.

"I love you too" He said closing his eyes and taking her in just through his other senses. He could smell the light rose perfume she had on and feel her hand on his face; he could even swear he head the light thump-thump of her heart beat intermingled with their twins.

"You know you have to tell her" Sam said a few seconds later when he opened his eyes and looked at her. "I mean if you don't you're going to have to stop inviting her to our barbeques, and what happens if she runs into him someday? I know this is going to be hard, on both of you, but I'm...we're right here for you" She said taking his hand and laying it on her slight bulge.

"Right" Jack said smiling at her. "You're right, but then you always are" He said nodding his head and sighing.

"And you'd do well to remember that" She said smirking at him. They sat in the car for a few moments and then Sam took his hand and squeezed. "You ready?"

"Yeah" Jack said nodding his head. "Let's go" They had called Sara two days ago and asked if it was ok if they came over. Sara had been delighted and told them today was a good day; both her daughters were staying at a friend's house so it was just her and Matt. They walked up to the door together holding hands. Sam knocked on the door and smiled at Sara when she opened it.

"Hello" She said beaming at them both. "How have you been?" She asked ushering them inside. "Filling out I see" She said smiling down at Sam's belly.

"Yeah well the doctor says everything will happen a little faster, what with it being twins" Sam said putting her hands on her belly.

"And how's the father to be?" She asked looking up at Jack.

"He's been working on the nursery" Sam said smiling at her. "All yellows and greens" She said smiling at Sara.

"Yeah, give him a tool and he'll use it, even if he doesn't know how" Sara said leading them into the living room. Matt was sitting there with a beer for Jack and a cold lemonade for Sam. Each couple sat on opposite sides of the coffee table. Jack took a drink of his beer then set it down on the table and looked up at Sara.

"So was there something you wanted to talk to us about?" Sara asked looking from Sam to Jack. "You sounded a little stressed on the phone." Jack nodded his head and sighed.

"Sara you remember that day, about 12 years ago" Jack said looking Sara in the eyes. "The Stargate?" Jack winced inwardly as tears formed in her eyes.

"Yes" She said nodding her head. "I remember" Jack knew she was thinking about Charlie now, just as he was.

"Well I never explained to you what it was, or what it did" he said taking a deep breath.

"It's a big round metal object, a ring of energy…" Sara said smiling at him a little. "That what you, the other you, said when you mentioned the stargate"

"Ok, that's good" Jack said nodding his head. "The stargate is a ring of energy, it can create a worm hole in space" Jack said looking over at Sam and smiling. "She does this better then me"

"You're doing fine" Sam said patting his knee. "Go on"

"Ok" He said nodding. "Well this worm hole can connect to other worm holes all over the galaxy, and we can travel them, through space" Jack stopped and looked from Matt to Sara. He was waiting for them to laugh or tell him how crazy he was, but they didn't.

"Ok" Sara said nodding her head. "So, you can actually go to, what, other planets?" She asked looking from Jack to Sam and back again, she didn't sound skeptical, a little curious and maybe confused but not skeptical.

"Yeah" Jack said nodding his head. "That's what I use to do" He said smiling at her.

"After Charlie died" She said looking from the coffee table to Jack. "Is that what you went off to do?"

"Yeah" Jack said nodding his head.

"Oh" Sara said nodding her head. "And that thing that looked like you and Charlie that was..."

"An alien" Jack said nodding his head. "It was an energy crystal that could take forms" He said looking to Sam. "She can explain it better then me, later"

"Ok" Sara said nodding her head.

"Why tell us now?" Matt asked speaking up for the first time. "Has something happened?"

"Yes" Jack said nodding his head. "It's not something bad, but I had to tell you" Jack said looking to Sam who nodded her head. "You know Kiara" Jack said laughing at the look on Sara's face.

"Of course we do" She said shaking her head. Then something dawned on her and she looked at Jack. "Is she...an alien?"

"Yes" Jack said nodding his head. "Well sort of, she is my daughter, you see there are these really bad aliens, and hundreds of years ago they were on earth" Jack said giving them the short version of the history lesson. "And they took human people from earth through the stargate to other worlds, they used them as slaves. But we over threw them and they left, but there are hundreds of thousands of humans out there on other planets"

"Wow" Matt and Sara said at the same time. "And...Kiara is one of them?"

"Her mother was, yes" Jack said nodding his head. "About 10 years ago I got trapped on another planet. I had no way of getting home; the gate had been buried in a meteor storm and I was stuck there. There was a woman named Laira who took me into her home...I was of course rescued about three months later, it wasn't till much later that I learned Laira had conceived" Sara nodded her head and looked to Sam. She could see that this story hurt her, not because she didn't like Kiara but because it must have hurt her to think she may have lost Jack, even if just for that small time.

"Wow" Sara said nodding her head. "Ok, this is big news, but it's not something you had to tell us, so what's wrong?"

"Sam?" Jack asked looking over at her. She was going to explain the quantum mirror to them. Sam looked around the room wondering how to explain this to them, then something on the book shelf behind her made her smile.

"You two Dean Koontz fans?" She asked smiling at them. Jack looked over at her wondering what this had to do with anything.

"Yes" Sara said nodding her head. "Matt has read him forever but I just got into his books" She too wondered where Sam was going with his.

"I see you have 'From the corner of his eye' up there" She said looking behind them. "Have you guys read it?"

"Yep" Matt said nodding his head. "We just finished it last week.

"Ok, that makes this so much easier" Sam said smiling at them. "You remember Barty?" She asked smiling. "And throwing the quarter?"

"Walking where the rain wasn't?" Sara asked smiling at her. Jack had no idea what they were talking about; he didn't read Dean Koontz so was totally lost.

"Right" Sam said nodding his head. "You remember quantum theory says we lead hundreds of lives, a new one breaking off every time we make a decision?"

"Yes" They both said nodding there heads.

"It's all true" Sam said smiling at them. "I've actually sat in a room and talked with another me" She said smiling at them.

"What?" Sara said looking shocked "How is that possible?"

"By what we call a quantum mirror" Sam said smiling at them. "It's a device we found on another planet, we don't have any idea how it works, just that it does. It has a remote and you can actually sit down and flip through all the different worlds."

"Ok" Sara said taking this all very well. "So, this mirror, it shows you other lives you might have led?"

"Yes" Jack said taking the ball again. "The Sam that this Sam talked to was from a world where the bad aliens, we call them the Goa'uld, had come back to earth and attacked"

"Oh dear" Sara said looking sad.

"We helped them win back their world" Sam said smiling at her. "Then after they left we had our mirror destroyed"

Oh" Matt said sounding sad that they would destroy somethin so interesting.

"But a little while ago we found another one" Jack said trying to work himself up to saying what he came here to say. Every one looked over as there was a knock at the door. Sam stood and looked over at Jack.

"Would it be ok if I go that?" She asked walking to the door without waiting for an answer. Sara looked from the door to Jack and back again. Sam barely opened the door then slipped out without showing who was on the other side.

"Jack?" Sara asked looking over at him. "What's going on?"

"A while ago someone new came though the mirror" he said and Sara was shocked to see tears brimming in his eyes. "Sara, Charlie came through the mirror" he said looking to the door. "His world has been over run with the Goa'uld" Jack said as she started to shake her head. "Our government gave him clearance to stay here, I had to tell you, I was right to tell you...right?' He asked as she started to take deep slow breaths. Matt put his hand on her shoulder and told her to calm down. She blinked her eyes a few times and looked at the door, her eyes went wide.

"Is that him?" She asked looking back to the door. "Is that my Charlie?" She asked standing up to go to the door. Jack jumped in front of her while Matt rushed to her side.

"Sara, you have to understand something before you go out there" He said taking her by the shoulders. "Sara, are you listening to me?"

"Yes" She said nodding her head without taking her eyes off the door.

"That boy out there, he's not our Charlie" Jack said looking her in the eyes, blocking her view of the door. "Sara, our son died 15 years ago" He said as she started to calm down. "In his world you died when he was about 13, do you understand?"

"Yes" She said nodding her head. "I get it" Jack nodded his head and moved out of her way. She looked over at him then walked swiftly to the door and opened it wide. Everyone watched as she looked him over, they both had tears in their eyes. After a few seconds she drew him close to her and he put his head on her shoulder and they both cried.

o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-

A very emotional hour later found the five of them sitting around the table eating the pizza that had just arrived. Charlie was telling them about the differences in his world while Sara nodded her head, still a little dazed by the whole thing. Jack got up from the table and walked into the kitchen and put his hands on the sink and took a few deep breaths. Jack looked over his shoulder when he heard someone enter the room.

"He looks so much like you" Sara said smiling at him. "I thought he would"

"Yeah, that's what I said" He said nodding his head. "I'm sorry I didn't tell you sooner" he said turning to face her. "We've been a little busy at the SGC lately."

"SGC?" She asked looking confused.

"Stargate command" he said smiling at her. "He's only been here a few weeks"

"That's ok" She said nodding her head. "I'm just so glad you did"

"Well I couldn't very well keep it from you" he said sighing a little. "He looks too much like, well himself, you would have known something was going on the first time you laid eyes on him"

"That's true" She said nodding her head. "Sam looks good" She said smiling at him. "I don't think I ever told you how very happy I was for you and now twins" She said shaking her head. 'What are you going to do with your self?"

"I don't know" he said smiling wide at her. "What ever it is I think I'm starting from a pretty good place"

"Me too" She said walking over to him. She smiled up and him and then leaned in and hugged him. "We would have done such a good job on him" She said smiling as she pulled away.

"Yeah we would have" he said smirking at her. "And somewhere we did"

o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-

"What is Sara going to tell her girls about Charlie?" Sam asked as they both got ready for bed that night. Jack sat down next to her and smiled.

"She's going to tell them he's my nephew, like his new papers say" Jack said laying his head down on her lap so his ear was to her belly. "Sam?" He asked without looking at her. "Do you think my Charlie can see me? Do you think he watches us?"

"Oh yeah" Sam said nodding her head as she ran her fingers through his hair. "And you know what I think? I think he's so proud of his dad" Sam said kissing the side of his head. They sat there in silence for a few moments both thinking of the little boy watching them from heaven. "What was Charlie's middle name?" Sam asked after a while, she was surprised she didn't know this.

"Nathan" Jack said turning so he could look up at her.

"How about Nathan Jackson O'Neill?" Sam asked smiling at him.

"I like that" Jack said sitting up and putting his hand on her belly. "I think he's ok with that too."

"And her?" She asked smiling at him. "What's her name going to be?"

"I get to pick?" He asked smirking at her.

"Yeah, I picked his, you pick hers" She said laughing softly as he traced circles on her belly.

"Ok" Jack said sitting back and thinking about it. "I know" He said after a few seconds. "Rebecca Grace O'Neill" he said looking up at her.

"I love it" Sam said nodding her head. "What's Grace from?" Sam asked. She knew Rebecca was her middle name, and funny enough it was also Janets, but she didn't know where that name had come from.

"It was my mother's name" Jack said smiling at her.

"Oh" Sam said nodding her head. "So Nathan and Rebecca?" She said putting her hands on her belly. "I don't know if they like them" Sam said looking over at Jack.

"Oh, how about Nat and Becca?" he asked putting his hand on her belly. He smiled at her and nodded his head. "Yeah they like that much better" he said smiling at her.

"Oh, they tell you that did they?" Sam asked shaking her head at him. She picked up her pillow and threw it at him. He caught it in his hands and smiled wickedly at her.

"Oh that's gonna cost ya" He said moving towards her. She smiled and wiggled her eyebrows.

"Bring it on" She said laughing when he pulled her down to the bed. He kissed her on the forehead and smiled down at her.

"I love you"

"Softy" Sam said smiling up at him with so much love in her eyes. "I love you too"

A/N- So what do you think? I do believe this is the longest chapter I have ever written. Sorry for the delay on it, lots of things going on in the real world. I hope you like it, this is the end of this story, there will be a few After Thoughts in a while, after I write them...I really hope you all liked this story, I enjoyed writing it a lot, let me know what you think.

P.S- To all you people out there rooting for Charlie and Cassie, don't worry, love will find a way... :-)

A/N- If you haven't read 'From the corner of his eye' by Dean Koontz you really should. It is such a good book; the characters are all so alive! And the story is great.
