A/N: Okay, this chapter is a little shorter, but so many of you were just chomping at the bit wanting to find out how Jack would react! Oh, and I had to throw a curve ball at you guys.

I know in the A/N of chapter two it said that this takes place before 'Morpheus' but I changed that to say after - right before The Pegasus Project, from where this story will go AU in the shows reality.


"What's your doctorate in?" Caroline asked, making a note on her clipboard.

"Engineering. I specialize in Asgard and Ancient technologies and reverse engineering of Goa'uld technology for the Tau'ri purposes," Kristie said, her face blank.

"And, in your reality, what's the status of the war with the Ori?"

"What war?" Raesha asked. "They're kicking our butts and the Ancients won't do a thing about it!"

"Raesha! You know that's not fair. They sent us Justin, remember? And they gave us the address for the weapon," Kristie chastised her daughter.

Dr. Lam's head shot up, "Who's Justin?"

"Our nanny/housekeeper," Isaac said with a toothy grin.

Caroline smiled at the young lad, "What's his last name?"

All seven children looked at their mother expectantly. Each of them had just called him 'Justin' since before they could remember – as far as they were concerned he didn't have a last name.

Kristie cocked her head to one side, trying to remember what it was, "His full name is Justin Alexander Marx. But I thought this interview was about our DNA and powers."

"It is, but I'd also like to get a feel for what's different in your reality," Dr. Lam said.

"Well, in that case I'll sum it up for you: Janet Fraiser-Jackson is alive; the Stargate was revealed to the public thirteen years ago; the SGC has been in operation for twenty-three years; Jack O'Neill and Samantha O'Neill are joint-CO's of the SGC with the rank of Major General; the Goa'uld were defeated twelve years ago; and we've been fighting a losing battle with the Ori for the past eleven years," Kristie spouted off with venom in her voice that scared her younger children slightly.

Caroline's brown eyes found Kristie's green ones, compassion shining through and causing Kristie to look away in shame at her sharp tone. "I believe General Landry wanted a full debriefing."

"Dr. Lam!" one of the nurses rushed into the infirmary, "We have the results of the blood tests, ma'am."

"Good." Dr. Lam looked over the results and stopped when she came to Raesha's. She looked back up at the ten-year-old girl and her mother, wondering what the hell was going on inside her body at that moment.

"Dr. O'Connor… do you know the unique body chemistry that Raesha possesses?" Dr. Lam asked carefully as she set down the lab results.

"If you're talking about the mysterious fourth race's genetic profile in her DNA, then yes I do," Kristie said with a nod.

Caroline looked at the eight people in front of her, awe and fear her primary emotions. "Were you ever told what that fourth race was?"

"Thor said it wasn't in any of his databases," Raesha said, her eyes now revealing how frightened she was by her own genetic makeup.

"That may be true," Dr. Lam said with a curt nod, "But it's in ours."


"Jack, will you please calm down!" General Landry roared into the telephone that was being held an arm's length away from his ear to dull the shouting of the irate General on the other end.

The shouting stopped and Hank put the phone closer to his ear again, "That's better, Jack. Now if you could kindly keep it at this volume so my ear drums don't explode I'll be eternally grateful."

"Sorry, Hank," Jack O'Neill said on the other end. "It's just… it's a lot to take in, you know? I mean, it isn't like I wouldn't like to have children with my wife, but with the way things are with the Ori right now… I just can't believe our children from an alternate reality are here."

"Jack, there's something else." Someone else, Hank amended in his mind.

"What is it, Hank?" the concern was evident in Jack's voice as he spoke to his long time friend and the current leader of the SGC.

"Do you have a niece named Kristina?"

"Yeah. Well, I had a niece named Kristina," Jack amended, "She died in a car crash three years ago. Why?"

"She came through the Mirror, as well."

"WHAT?"

"No, wait," Hank said, "It gets better. She brought with her not only the three O'Neill children, but also four Jackson children and seven children of her own. It seems that our reality is turning into a refugee camp for all the other realities."

"Hank?" Jack asked, sounding incredibly calm for a man who just found out that his dead niece was really alive in a different reality and had just come into their reality.

"Yes, Jack?" Landry asked dubiously.

"Is the Odyssey in orbit yet, and if so are they set for that mission to the Pegasus Galaxy?"

"Yes," Hank began to see where Jack was going with his inquiry. "They got into orbit about half an hour ago."

"Call up to Colonel Emerson and have him beam me to the SGC ASAP."

"Do you want me to tell any of our visitors that you're on your way?"

"No, they'll find out soon enough."

"Yes, sir. See you in ten."


A/N: Tell me truly, did any of you see half of that coming? Oh, yeah, and do you have any more guesses as to what the fourth race is inside Raesha?
