Life as a warrior part 3
and I've realized I spelt Hak'tyl as Hak'tal so I've corrected it.
Previously in life as a warrior...
It was close to thirty minutes later,the women stepped out of the tent.
"Sir these women are willing to test out tretonin for us." Hailey said.
"And I'm coming with you." Sam stepped forward.
"Really?" Jack asked wanting to believe what she said.
"Yes as a liaison between earth and the Hak'tyl. My children will remain here while I am on earth." Sam said.
"That's great Sam. Wait til you meet the kids." Daniel said a big smile on his face.
"Kids?" Sam asked confused.
"Space monkey and the doc shacked up after you left."
"You and Janet?" Sam said. Daniel nodded.
Ish'ta walked off.
"What's with her?" Jack asked.
"She is wondering if she is making the right choice using this tretonin you guys found." Mala said.
Teal'c went off to talk to her.
"Use the good old Teal'c charm!" Jack called after his Jaffa friend. Hailey and Daniel stiffeled a laugh. Sam giggled.
"Wow haven't heard that sound in a long time. " Jack said.
"Sure you have." Daniel said. Jack whacked his arm. He got the hint.
"I did try to dial earth and the alpha site when I realized I was left behind."at Jacks look she added, "However unintentionally but for some reason the DHD would seize up. When Ish'ta and Mala came, I found that I could easily trust them for some reason. I guess what I'm trying to say but failing to do so properly is, I want to say how much I've missed you guy's."Sam said rambling.
"So you decided to come back home, did you?" Jack asked with a smile that was only meant for her.
"I'm not sure if I'll stay, but at least my friends and family will have some comfort knowing that I'm okay." Sam said.
"Captain would you like to learn some new moves?" Sam asked Hailey.
"Sure and call me Hailey."
"Then it is only fair you call me Samantha. Follow me." Sam walked toward where they kept the wooden staffs. Sam passed one to Hailey and they began to fight.
"Did Carter just tell us off?" Jack asked.
Daniel just shrugged.
An hour later, Ish'ta and Teal'c had returned. Teal'c looked a little worse for wear but was alright.
Sam, Jack Hailey, Mala, Cera, Farrow and Getrue headed to the gate. Daniel and Teal'c decided to stay.
Danial, Cera's younger sister would look after Sam's three daughters. Mala's second Daughter(and only:( daughter) Nadya who was a little under two years old was also with Danial. Sam was carrying a goat skin bag with her research and a few other items in it.
"Boy Hammond is going to be surprised." Jack said.
"Well he is my former CO and on top of that he is my godfather." Sam said.
"He is?" Jack questioned. Sam nodded believing that was all the answer that was needed. They stepped through the event horizon.
General Hammond was standing at the base of the ramp when they emerged from the wormhole. He had been told who to expect but like sg1, he was shocked to see his goddaughter looking...well...hot, for lack of a better word.
"Major it's good to see you again." Hammond said trying to maintain a professional mask.
"I'm guessing after nearly five years I am no longer in the military uncle George, you can call me by my first name." Sam said.
Jack looked at her curiously. Uncle George?
"Alright ...Sammie." Hammond said with a smile that spoke wordlessly about his ability to tease her.
Sam groaned after hearing her childhood nickname. Hammond gave a low chuckle.
"Anyway I would like to welcome you all to earth." Hammond said to Mala and the others. They went to the infirmary after that.
Sam headed to Janet's office. Her fellow sisters in the main area if the infirmary. She knocked on the open door when Janet's back was to it.
"Just a minute!" she called out. Then she turned around and dropped about ten pounds of paperwork on the floor in front of her feet. Then she squealed in pure happiness. Janet then hugged her best friend very tightly.
"It's good to see you to Janet." Sam said with a smile on her face. The petite doctor drew away from Sam.
"I can't believe your back. We have a few minutes before I have to begin the tretonin trial. Let's catch up." Janet said. Her friend was back, even though she was different in more ways then one, Janet was happy.
"Sure." Sam said. She helped her friend pick up her pile of paperwork. "So I hear you and Daniel have gotten hitched." Sam said quite bluntly. Janet blushed.
"Yep Four children and another on the way." Janet said.
"Congrats Jan. I have three children. One is biologically mine, though I don't know how. Darth vadar actually comes to mind." Sam said. Janet was going to ask about that later but giggled at the analogy.
"Her name is Grace. My second daughter is 8 months younger then Grace her name is Araiakel Janet but we've nicknamed her AJ."
"Wow I have a kid named after me. I'm honoured Sam."
"And my youngest daughter Hannah Christine, is only three days old. I adopted her about two hours before I came here." Sam said.
"It sucks that you had to go away from her so soon."
"Ya but I'll be back."
"So you aren't staying here?" Janet couldn't help but look and feel hurt. Sam saw this and answered quickly.
"I don't know. Earth is my home but I've been with the Hak'tal for four and a half years. While you guy's remember five. I don't know. I'll have to think about it." Sam said. Janet seemed satisfied with that answer.
"Now we shouldn't keep those women waiting any longer, should we?" Janet spoke lightheartedly to Sam.
"No." Sam said with a smile. "But when you are done I need to talk to you about something." Sam told Janet.
"Of course." Janet nodded knowing that is was a conversation meant for later when they had more time. They left Janet's office and she began to coach the Hak'tyl about the tretonin. Sam wandered around base, a MP following her for obvious security reasons. She wound up at her lab. It was now Jennifer Haileys lab, she felt a pang of jealously when she realized that she had truly been replaced.
"I didn't replace you." A voice said from behind her. Sam turned around rather quickly. The MP was gone and had been replaced with the one and only jack O'Neill.
"Sir?" She questioned playing the confused Major.
"You said it yourself Carter, you are no longer in the military. Drop the sir, call me Jack."
"Of course...Jack." Sam said hesitantly. Calling her former CO by his first name would take some getting used to. Two could play at that game. "Then call me Sam, or Samantha."
"Okay...Sam." Jack said almost the same way Sam said his and he realizes that she said that for more then one reason.
He smiled at her. She smiled back.
"Sam I meant it when I said that I never replaced you, sure I replaced the military part with Hailey but you I've always cared about a lot. Even loved and nobody replaced that part of my heart."
"You...you love me?" Sam asked her eyes wide with shock and happiness.
"Yes." Jack answered simply. He was never one for long winded explanations but the simple one word answer worked. Sam hugged him fiercely.
"I love you too Jack." Sam said into his shirt.
Jack lifted her chin so they could look into each others eyes. They kissed long and passionately.
"If I decide to come back to earth will you be there for me?" She asked.
"Of course and if you decide to stay on Hak'lar that's okay with me too. I'll always be there for you."
"It's Hak'tyl Jack." Sam said trying to put a little humour into their intense conversation. Jack smiled.
"I know it's a little soon but I've loved you for a long time. I bought this to the SGC shortly after I returned from Edora, hoping I be able to use it some day..." Jack trailed off. Sam's breath hitched.
He brought out a small white box and opened it. It was a very beautiful ring. A 2 carrot princess cut diamond in the middle with 2 smaller blue sapphires on each side. Sam gasped.
"Will you, Samantha Abigail Jasmine Carter do me the honour of becoming my wife?" Jack asked the long awaited question.
"Yes Jack, Yes I will marry you." Sam said. Jack stood up. He held the ring.
"That must have cost a fortune." Sam said.
"Well to be honest I wouldn't know. It's been in my family for over 150 years, It is used as a symbol of good luck amongst my family each marriage has lasted longer then 45 years."
"Then I am honoured Jonathon O'Neill." Sam kissed her now fiance. She was so happy to have a man like Jack in her life.
"And I added a little something on to it. Look at the engraving." Jack instructed as he handed Sam the ring. She looked and gave him a Carter smile.
"Our love is bigger then the universe and the earth symbol. Wow this is so sweet Jack." Sam said. Jack slipped the ring on her finger. They kissed again.
"But what about you know me being in the military, not do much now but people can use that to..." Sam trailed off not wanting to go down that train of thought.
"I know that's what the general wants to talk about. You have a briefing in... almost five minutes ago." Jack smirked.
"Jack I need to tell you guy's what the blue light did, It did more than make me loose more then 6 months of my life."
"Okay, but wait until we are in the briefing room. I'm sure good old 'George would want to hear this to. Am I right?"
Sam nodded. This was going to be a long briefing. Jack just knew it.
I made a few improvements to the original story, nothing to major though. Read and review. Pretty please with a cherry on top?
