It had now been three months since Janet had gone through the surgery to help Kelly and in those last three months her life had changed dramatically. Daniel had moved in with her and Cass, and while at times it was hard she had to admit that it was great having him around, even Cass was obviously enjoying Daniels' company. Since the whole ordeal the pair had become close and not just because Daniel could help Cassandra with her history homework, so things at home were pretty harmonious with all enjoying being a family. After the surgery Daniel had taken care of her so well, making sure she was resting properly and was well enough before she went back to work that it just confirmed in her heart how much he loved her and her having him around confirmed in her mind just how right marrying him was, and how strong her love for him was.

It was a cold day on the base. The cool air could be felt even as Daniel made his way to the Infirmary to check on Janet. Walking down the corridor he ran into Cassandra who was carrying a glass of juice, having been given permission to help her mother out in the Infirmary for the day.

"Hey sweetheart everything okay?" he asked her.

"Uh huh. Mom's not feeling great though." Cassandra told him.

"I keep telling her to get checked out by Dr Warner but will she listen?" Daniel commented.

"Well you know mom..." Cassandra started as they walked into the infirmary.

"You know mom what?" came a voice from beside them.

Daniel turned to see Janet standing there, her hands on her hips.

"We're in trouble." He muttered under his breath making Cass smile.

"I got your juice." She said sweetly to Janet handing it to her and trying to break her mothers mood.

"Not gonna work sweetheart." Janet commented before finally breaking into a grin. "You know me too well." She commented walking over to an empty bed and sitting down on it. Taking sips of the juice.

"Yeah so do I." Daniel commented joining her. "Honey you are so pale. Are you sure you shouldn't be at home?"

"Baby I'm fine stop worrying. I just have a bug or something that's all. It's nothing sinister." She told him looking up into his eyes and smiling.

"You sure?" he asked rubbing her back. "Because you sounded pretty sick when I woke up this morning." He told her.

Janet gave him a look which he knew very well.

"Don't waste you're breath Daniel I've already done that whole barfing speech." Cassandra told him with a mock sigh. "Doctors...you just can't get em to take their own advice."

"You two should open a comedy act." Janet told them grinning.

"Yeah we know. We thought about it..." Cassandra commented as an announcement came over the speaker system.

"Could all members of SG-1, Dr. Janet Fraiser and Cassandra Fraiser please make their way to the briefing room immediately. That will be all." Came the voice of General George Hammond.

"What have we done now?" Cassandra asked.

"Got no idea." Daniel replied as Janet handed over the Infirmary to Dr Warner while they followed General Hammonds orders.

After arriving at the briefing room it was discovered that none of them knew what was going on so all just sat down waiting for General Hammonds arrival.

"I'm in a briefing? Cool." Cassandra commented prompting a grin from Jack.

The door opened and General Hammond stepped in all except Cass, Daniel and Teal'c got up and saluted.

"At ease. We've just received a guest who I thought you may all benefit from seeing." General Hammond explained beckoning someone who was obviously standing outside the door.

At the Generals prompting a young woman in her late teens entered the room, her hair brunette and flowing down to her shoulders in curls and her eyes also a deep brown. Her face which had once been so pale was now glowing, and her cheeks were rosy with health. For a minute everyone just stood there mesmerised by the similarity this young woman had to their Doctor and by her pretty face which the last time they saw her had been so dulled by sickness.

"I uh...guess I look a little different from the last time you guys saw me." She told them nervously.

"Is this..." Jack started his mouth wide open.

"Kelly Jackson, the young woman you helped." General Hammond told Janet and the team.

"Wow look at you." Janet told her smiling. "You look so well."

"Thanks to you. I feel great." She told Janet. "Thank you so much." She then told her giving her a hug.

"Hey that's okay." Janet told the young woman. "You've had no symptoms of rejection?" Janet asked.

The young woman shook her head.

"The only thing I got was a cold a couple of weeks ago. Apart from that I've been fine. Kidney function is perfectly normal. Looking at me now it's hard to realise how close to death I was." She told them.

"And looking at mom now it's hard to believe you nearly cost her, her life." Cassandra shouted.

The group turned around and Kelly looked at the young woman confused.

"I don't..."

"Mom got a really bad infection because of that surgery. She nearly died. You have no right to come in here like this when you nearly cost her her life."

"Cassandra..." Janet started as the young woman stormed out.

"No I'll go. I think I'm the one she needs to talk too if that's okay." She asked turning to the General who nodded.

"See you guys in a few." Kelly then told them before hurrying out of the door.

"Well that was just waiting to happen." Jack commented.

"Yeah, I just hope Kelly talks some sense in to her. Cass blames herself and Kelly for this and no fault deserves to go to either of them." Janet told the group resting her head in her hands once again being overcome by a wave of nausea.

"You okay Doc? you're looking a little pasty there." Jack told her, noticing for the first time just how pale she was.

"See even Jack think's there something up honey." Daniel told her rubbing her back.

"Oh god..." Janet started as her stomach heaved, putting a hand over her mouth and running out of the room.

"What'd I say?" Jack asked as Daniel got up and hurried after her.

Kelly followed Cassandra into the commissary. Knowing the woman in her own universe she knew this wasn't going to be easy and so taking a deep breath she walked over to the table where Cassandra was sitting and sat down.

"Want some company?" Kelly asked.

"What do you want?" Cassandra replied coldly.

"I want us to talk." Kelly replied.

"Yeah well I have nothing to say."

"Cassandra you obviously do have something to say or you wouldn't be acting the way you are." Kelly told her sternly.

"Okay...fine. Because of you my mother nearly died. You happy?" Cassandra asked.

"Of course I'm not happy. She's my mom too...well in a different universe. I'd hate to think she got sick because of me."

"Well she did okay." Cassandra told Kelly.

"I didn't know that. You wanna tell me what happened." Kelly asked.

"A few hours after she came back here Daniel woke up to find her barely able to breathe. She had to be put on a ventilator and slipped into a coma. She was critical for nearly two days because of an infection she caught all because of that stupid surgery."

"What you think that Janet's wanting to save my life was stupid or worthless..." Kelly asked her quietly.

"I didn't mean..."

"A few months ago you were sick right? and I bet if she could've done anything for you, you would have wanted her to do it so you could be well...Cassandra I didn't ask to get sick and I'm sure you didn't want to either...it just happens sometimes. Now Janet couldn't help you..Nerrti was the only one who could...but she was the only one who could help me and she did. I never asked for her to come through the mirror Cass, I was so sick all I wanted to do was give up, but my dad asked and against all the odds she came and she helped because she wanted to save me. My mom would've done it but she was pregnant. Look I'm sorry if she got sick, I would never have wished that on a person like your mom you have to believe me. I didn't even know she was so ill and if I'd have known she was going to get so sick I would never have wanted her to do it. You couldn't help getting sick just like I couldn't or your mom. She was doing something so brave for her child...well child in a way." Kelly shook her head. "Do you know what I'm trying to say?"

Cassandra nodded.

"She nearly died Kelly. I nearly lost her because she went through to help you." Cassandra sighed. "Look I know it wasn't your fault that she got sick, like it wasn't your fault that you got sick. Mom was just being mom going through to help you the way she did and I am so proud of her. I guess I'm just looking for someone to blame because I feel so guilty."

"Why do you feel guilty?" Kelly asked her.

"When I saw mom like that I was sure she was going to die. And I was sure she'd die without knowing how much I love her. God I love her so much for what she's done by taking me into her life and I don't think I've ever really told her. That's why I felt so awful because I was sure that is she was going to die she'd think I never cared when I do. There've been times when I've been so cruel..."

"Cass that's nothing to feel guilty about. Of course she knows. And as for the being nasty thing that's something that comes with being a teenager, hell I was a bitch up until two years ago." Kelly told Cassandra making her smile. "Look your mom loves you, and she knows you love her too how could she not...even when it's not said mothers can sense that kind of love. Besides she's fine now. You've got plenty more chances to tell her just how much you care."

"I guess." Cassandra told her.

"Look don't feel guilty Cass because there's nothing to feel guilty about. Not one person could've altered what happened to me, you or your mom. None of us had any inkling what would happen. All we can do now is move on and learn from what has happened. There's no point dwelling on it."

"You are so much like mom." Cassandra told Kelly.

"Scary huh. My dad tells me that all the time, so does everyone on the base. I look like her and talk like her. I take it as a compliment every time it's said though." Kelly told her.

"I would too. Look I'm sorry about before. I was wrong to blame you. You couldn't help it getting so sick and it was my mom's choice to go through the mirror, and she couldn't help getting sick either."

"Well I guess it was partly my fault. If she hadn't had that surgery to help me..."

"Don't you start feeling guilty. You've just talked a load of sense in to me. I don't want to have to do it back." Cassandra replied smiling.

"So her and Daniel look close." Kelly commented.

"Yeah they are. They're getting married." Cassandra replied taking a sip of the drink she had in front of her. "He proposed as soon as mom woke up from the coma."

Kelly smiled.

"I guess some relationships are the same over practically every universe huh." Kelly commented.

"Yeah. I think it's great. Mom's really happy and so is Daniel and it's great having him around."

"He is a pretty good dad. Great when you need help with homework." Kelly added smiling.

"You know, if I ever have a sister...I hope she's like you. You're pretty cool." Cassandra told Kelly shyly.

"You're not so bad yourself and you know stranger things have happened." Kelly told Cass then leaning over and hugging her.

"I have to go." She told the teenager pulling away. "You take care of yourself okay, and Janet and Daniel. And try not to be so angry. You gotta great smile..use it."

"You got it." Cass replied getting up and then walking with Kelly out of the commissary.

As both walked outside, they found a manic Daniel.

"Everything okay?" he asked the pair of them.

"Fine. Why wouldn't it be?" Cassandra replied sweetly, smiling at Kelly.

"Daniel what's up?" Kelly asked him.

"Janet ran out of the briefing room sick a few minutes ago. She's in the ladies...could you two go and check on her for me?"

"Sure Daniel, no problems. I don't get why she won't see a doctor about this."

"How long's she been sick?" Kelly asked.

"A couple of weeks now. I'm really worried." Daniel told them.

"Okay we'll go see if she's okay. You gonna be out here?" Cassandra asked.

Daniel nodded.

"I'm sure she's fine Daniel. It's probably a bug or something." Kelly reassured him before following Cassandra into the ladies' bathroom.

The pair soon found Janet, her head over the toilet bowl. She hadn't even had time to shut the door.

"Mom?" Cassandra said quietly as she entered the stall.

"I'm okay honey." Came the weak reply.

Kelly walked into the stall also and sat down at Janets left side while Cass sat down on the other side.

"This isn't anything to do with the surgery is it? I mean it's not my fault." Kelly asked tearfully as she saw Janets flushed face.

"Sweetheart of course it's not." Janet reassured lifting up her head and brushing her hair out of her eyes. "I'm sure it's just a bug or something." She added.

"Daniel's really worried, he's outside. He said you've been ill for a couple of weeks." Kelly told her.

Janet looked at the worried young woman, then at Cass who looked just as afraid as Kelly.

"Look guys I'm fine..." she started, her stomach then heaving and her being sick again.

Kelly and Cassandra pulled a face.

"Think I'm done now." Janet told them flushing the toilet and then sitting back in the stall.

"You know I've seen this before...I think.." Kelly started.

Janet looked at her nodding at her to continue.

"Three times...with my mom. She was sick a lot, tired a lot, had backache and was irritable..."

Cassandra looked at Janet open mouthed.

"You don't think..." she started. "I mean it would make sense..."

"I'm sure it's a bug Cass...it couldn't be anything else could it?" Janet replied.

"I'm not saying that's what's up, I was just saying what it looked like to me. Sorry if.."

"No Kelly thanks...I've been so caught up in everything lately that I never really had time to...Oh god..." Janet said shocked as realisation hit her face.

"Mom?" Cassandra asked.

"It's okay sweetheart." Janet reassured her putting a hand on her arm.

"Oh, while I remember Charlie wanted me to give you this." Kelly told Janet pulling a teddy out of her bag. "She told me to give it to you for your Kelly. You just reminded me...go figure."

"Well thank her for me." Janet replied. "I guess we may be needing it pretty soon." She added.

Kelly and Cass nodded.

"But still not a word to... not until I know for sure Cass."

"I know mom. Cross my heart." Cassandra told her helping her up.

"So we okay to go now? I gotta get home. All the gang are coming round as it's Charlottes birthday. It's my turn to bathe Katie."

"Katie?"

"Mom gave birth just over three months ago to a beautiful baby girl who we called Katie. She's great, though Max isn't too happy about being woken up every night." Kelly told them.

As they walked outside, they saw Daniel leaning up against the wall waiting for them. As soon as he saw Janet he walked over to her.

"Honey are you okay?" he asked putting an arm around her.

She leaned her head on his shoulder.

"I'm fine." She replied smiling. "Come on lets walk this one to the mirror room.." She told him as the four of them began to make their way down the corridor.

Just a few minutes later and Kelly was ready to leave. Through the mirror her whole family could be seen waiting for her, as could Sam and Jack and their two girls.

"Guess this is it huh." She told them all as they stood waiting to say their goodbyes.

Kelly walked over first to Teal'c.

"Well we never really spoke, but I do know you're a great guy. See ya Teal'c." She told him hugging him. Next she walked over to General Hammond.

"In my world you used to change my diapers when I was on base. You were even known to sing to me when my parents couldn't get me to sleep. You've been there for all the Jackson kids in my world and we respect you a lot. We haven't spoken here much but I wanted to say thank you anyway. Take care." Kelly told the General.

"You too young lady." He told her smiling proudly at her.

Kelly then walked over to Jack.

"What can I say to you Jack except...sweet. You had me saying that when I was three. You're a great guy and a good father. Never lose that humour okay." Kelly told him.

Jack took her in his arms and gave her a big hug.

"And don't you ever lose that smile. You look after yourself, and Casey and Emma for us okay."

"Will do." Kelly replied then walking to Sam.

"Bye Sam." She told the Major hugging her. "You know as soon as I was born you became a huge person in my life, taking care of me when mom and dad had a night out...looking after me on base, carrying me around in a carrycot in the middle of the night when mom or dad couldn't get me to sleep. I'm sure one day you'll be a good mom. You take care okay..You and Jack." She whispered.

"You too okay Kelly." Sam replied smiling.

The next person Kelly said her goodbyes to was Cass.

"Take care of yourself. You're a great young woman and an even greater sister. Don't ever stop using that strong mind of yours." Kelly told the teenager hugging her tightly.

"Thank you for earlier. I'm sorry..."

"Hey that's in the past okay, forget about it. " Kelly replied. "Bye." She then told her.

"I'd be very lucky to have a sister like you."

"I am lucky to have you." Kelly replied smiling and then walking to Daniel.

"Bye Daniel." She told him tearfully.

"Bye sweetheart." He replied brushing her long hair back off her face. "You take care of them all okay. And take care of yourself you hear?"

Kelly nodded.

"You take care of everyone here. Thank you so much for everything you did to save me...both of you. I wouldn't be here without...I love you guys." She told them.

"We love you too. Come here." Janet told her. "You are a lovely young woman. I'm very proud that my counterpart has a daughter as smart and beautiful of you. And I'm glad that you're standing here alive and well. I'm so glad I could help."

Kelly wiped her eyes.

"Thank you so much." She told Janet taking her in a big hug. "You look after yourself okay. Everything's gonna work out fine with... hope you feel better soon." She then told Janet smiling through her tears.

Janet, Daniel and Cass then all took Kelly in a hug.

"I really have to..." she started as they broke away. She was still in tears.

"What I came here for was to say thanks. Until today I never knew how much you suffered to save me...and I wanted to say that I hope you guys are as happy as my mom and dad because any child would be blessed to have parents like you guys. I'm sure Cass can vouch for that."

Then she walked to the mirror.

"Bye." She told them, then after a small wave she was gone back to her family and the universe where she belonged.
