Family Knot's Part 5

Authors note:Sorry I haven't written in a while By the way hope you like the chap!!!!!

Sam and Jack new that they would have to deal with this quickly and quietly. Jack started running to the elevators where he knew that Sam would be by now waiting for him! When they were in the car Sam started talking immediately "I didn't realize it before but she told me that this new laptop was top of the line and it could do practically anything! She must have used it to hack into the S.G.C system; but… demand money!!!!!"

As soon as they got home they went to Sahara's room but before they entered the room they heard voices one sounded like it was in the middle of a voice change and Sam told Jack that that was Sahara's boy friend who was kind-a weird and another was Sahara's and there were two muffled voices making sounds as if they were trying to talk but couldn't. Jack made a few military hand signals that told Sam on the count of three to run in the door and see what was happening.

Jack and Sam were taken aback by what they saw was happening in the room. Sam Immediately had a gun out and two seconds later so did Jack for this is what Jack and Sam were seeing: Damon (Sahara's boy-friend) was holding two guns; one at Joey and Leann who were hog tied and gagged in the middle of the room and the other at Sahara who was crying her heart out in front of her computer desk with her new laptop in front of her. When they saw Sam and Jack come in the door everyone jumped. Mom I am so sorry he made me do it!!!!!!" Sahara said as she pointed to Araja. Just then Araja turned and pointed the gun that was previously pointed on Leann and Joey on Sam and Jack. Just then Arajas eyes flashed yellow, "Put the guns down and bow before your god." He said in a definitely gouldish voice.

Jack said,"Oh I see you are new at this being a gould thing"

Sam finished, "New enough to not know that we shoot gould not obey them" And right there and then they both shot him full of holes. Leann screamed and Joey looked at his mom and Jack with awe and Sahara smiled with relief even though she felt bad about him dying.

"Mom why did his eyes glow???" asked Sahara

"Well because he was what is called a Gould." she explained to everyone, "Gould are …. Aliens; they try to control all the galaxies. And Jack and I used to go to other planets through the stargate and beat them up real bad. This is all top secret so you can't tell any one. Ok?????"

"Okaaaaay" said every one with that, "your crazy but ok" tone. And for the first time every thing was out in the open ……. well almost everything.

The next few days went by smoothly and not one teenager hacked into the stargate mainframe. Everyday Jack would pick the kids up from school and take them to Sams house. There he would make a lunch that all of them liked (Mac 'n cheese usually) while they chattered about school and home work and how mean their teachers were. After lunch they would be "threatened" by Jack into their bedrooms to do homework. Then when Sam came home he would tell her how the kids were say bye to her and the kids and leave for home.

Joey and Leann began to think of Jack as more of a Father like figure than a stuffy grown up, yet Sahara still didn't quite trust him. One day Jack was making dinner (as well as lunch). It was finished and even though it was the same food as lunch he had put cut up hot dog in it this time. Jack went upstairs to call the kids and Joey and Leann bolted out as soon as he knocked on their doors. When he came to Sahara's door he knocked and no one answered; He knocked again and still no one replied. Finally he said, " I'm coming in!"

And opened the door. Her room was dark and the window was open letting the

"fresh" city air come in. he saw that there was nobody in there. He looked out the window and down; no one. He stood on the windowsill and looked on the roof. He saw Sahara in her pajamas with a closed book in her lap. He climbed up getting mad at himself for getting 5 pounds heavier than he was before retirement. Jack pulled himself up with some difficulty and sat down beside Sahara.

"Hey I just got off the phone with your mom and she said I could tell you our little secret or our not so little secret."

"Okay" she said with a sigh putting her book down on the roof and turning toward Jack

I want to ask you what you would say if I told you that Sam I never could take the place of your parents but please let us try to be the best parents we can be."

"We? Us?"

" Your mom wants to be the one to tell the other two about this but I get to tell you that your mom and I are getting married."

"When?"

"We haven't really set a date yet but soon I think" to tell the truth Jack hadn't really thought about the when. He was a short-term thinker and right now he was thinking about dinner and The Simpsons.

"So what's for dinner?"

" Nothin' much. Just some Mac an' Cheese with hot dog"

"Is that all you know how to cook?

"No" He said sound offended on purpose.

"Really? What else?"

"Well I can make Mac an' Cheese without hot dog!"

Sahara laughed and they went down to dinner, and the rest of their lives.

I might just add an epilogue if you're lucky. Because my reviewers haven't very good about reviewing lately have they?
