It was now two months later and Sammie's 16th birthday. The team had thrown her a party in the hub and everyone was smiling. Jack held his daughter tight and made a speech about how proud he was which made Sammie squeal in embarrassment.
"I'm so proud of you Sammie; you've grown up and become a real part of the team even though you can be stroppy, mouthy, annoying, sarcastic and such a teenager at times!" Jack said sitting down
"Hey, I'm not annoying, well not that much anyway!" and Owen snorted with laughter "Ok how am I annoying?"
"Well when you get pissed off your voice goes high pitched"
"It does not!" she said accidentally proving Owens point and everyone burst out laughing
"Anyway moving on before Owen feels the wrath of Sammie going into supersonic mode" Ianto laughed as Sammie shot him a mock hurt look "you have to open your presents"
Sammie had received a book on alien flora from Ianto, a necklace from Gwen, a lie detector from Toshiko and from Owen she received what he called a spidery mouse thing which Jack avoided for the rest of the day and from Jack she received a small locket with a photo of him, Emma and Sammie in it
"Thank you" she said to everyone
And from that moment on all the secrets and lies that Sammie had had put on her seemed like a distant memory away.
