Life of a warrior part 4
thank you for all the wonderful reviews. It makes my writing worthwhile.
Previously on life of a warrior...
"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.
The pair walked into the briefing room. General Hammond was already sitting down.
"Please have a seat." Hammond ordered.
Sam and Jack did as they were told. Major General George Hammond was a very perceptive man, he did not fail to notice the beautiful ring on Sam's finger. He also knew who gave it to her.
"I need you to tell you your story from the time on P5G 907 til now. This part of the briefing will be recorded."
Sam nodded. She knew why, the air force wanted a digital copy to make sure if she told the story again she wouldn't slip up and make a mistake.
She went on to explain anything and everything that happened to her in the last five years. Or from her perspective, four and a half years.. One of the first things she spoke of first was Grace.
"I discovered after two months on Hak'tyl that I was four months pregnant. Which I don't know how that's possible because first of all I didn't do any of the necessary things a human body needs to do in order to get pregnant and You guy's told me I was missing for six months longer than that so... I don't know. I found the Hak'tyl a gate address. It was on one of the lists from the Abbydos cartouch. It was Sg6's long term list. It was one where they didn't explore for another year. We kept hidden while they were staying there. It is P1K 672" Sam said. Hammond nodded. Major Kassel of Sg6 said he thought someone had been to the planet recently but only explored 3 miles from the gate. She went on the tell them how she she arrived on Hak'tyl with Ish'ta and the other former female Jaffa of Moloc.
"When Grace was a few months old I discovered what ever that blue light did to me other then give me Grace. My strength and agility increased by a Factor of twenty-five percent, as well as telekinesis." Sam said.
"Telekinesis?" Hammond questioned. Jack looked at her. So that's what she meant by the blue light changing more for her then just loosing six months of her life.
Sam nodded, she glanced around the room and focused her mind. She lifted the SGC flag a few feet in the air.
"Wow." was all that Jack could mutter out. Hammond seemed shocked. The recorded part of the briefing lasted another hour as Sam told them every little detail, like how she had created a school system and taught military self defence.
"I ran into Sg1 six months ago." Sam confessed.
"What?" Jack exclaimed a little angerly. "That was you?"
"You have to understand, I still thought you guy's had abandoned me."
Jack nodded, he didn't like that she had lied to them but he understood why.
Then it was over nearly 20 minutes later. The recording ended.
Jack yawned. Sam sent him pointed look.
"Sorry Sam, not that your tale isn't exciting. Believe me it is, I've just never been able to sit for very long." Jack said,
"I don't believe you. Admit it you were bored." Sam quite nearly ordered. Hammond watched the banter between his goddaughter and 21C with interest. They were meant for each other.
"Fine I was bored." Jack finally admitted. Sam broke into a grin.
"I contacted Jacob, He will be here by tomorrow at the latest. Your brother and his family have been contacted, you can visit them whenever you like and if you feel up to it. Sam, I also spoke with the president, he wants to meet with you in person, the Prometheus will beam you into the oval office directly. This will happen in two hours."
"Prometheus?" Sam questioned.
"Earth ship." Jack said. That was all the information Sam needed. They must have gotten help from the Asgard if they had beaming technology.
"Doctor Fraiser needs to clear you before you can go." Hammond said.
"Yes sir." Sam said slipping back into her military facade. Sam and Jack began to head to the stairs that led to the control room.
"Oh Sam, Jack... Congratulations." Hammond said. The two looked confused before they actually clued in on what the general was saying.
"Yes thank you sir." Jack said. Sam smiled at him. They headed down to the infirmary. They were in the elevator. Sam knew the trip would take at least four minutes if she remembered correctly. She decided to talk to Jack about her suspicions.
"Jack I think I know who Grace's father is, but I still don't know how." Sam said. Jack looked at her.
"Ya? Who?" He asked.
"You Jack." Sam said simply. She looked into his eyes gauging his reaction.
"What? But how?" He stammered.
"I don't know, maybe the Asgard, who knows but Jack she even looks and acts like you." Sam said.
Jack nodded. He was a little to shocked to speak. He had a daughter? He was glad he was getting a second chance to be a father, not only to Grace but to AJ and Hannah as well but he still felt guilt over what happened to father. Sam sensed this. She put her hand into his.
"Jack despite what happened 9 years ago, you'll still be a great father." Sam said giving him a quick kiss. The elevator doors opened and they stepped onto sub-level 23.
Jack smiled at Sam. She knew exactly what to say to him to make him better.
"I have a vile of Grace's blood for testing."
"Cool but how'd you make needles?" Jack asked.
Sam went into a long winded scientific explanation about how she made a needle and retrieved the blood from her oldest daughter. Jack actually smiled through it so Sam decided that Jack was the right man for her.
Janet checked her out and Sam gave her the vile of blood to test. Jack had gone off to see Hammond for something. As Sam was walking out of the infirmary she noticed Hailey leaning against the wall.
"Are you alright?" Sam asked. The other women looked up startled.
"Yeah, it's just... Mala told about her first daughter being killed and her second daughter never knowing her father."
"I was saddened the first time I heard her story as well." Sam said trying to comfort a women she barely knew.
"She said if the tretonin doesn't work, she doesn't want her symbiote re implanted." Hailey said, trying to hold back the tears for a women who became her friend in a matter of minutes.
"It is her honour and wish for freedom which causes her to speak of that." Sam said.
"Mala wants me to take her daughter if anything happens to her!" Hailey cried out. She finally began to sob. Sam pulled her into an embrace. Jack came around the corner a few minutes later. Sam made gestures and moved her lips to tell him she'd be right there.
Soon Hailey was finished with the crying.
"Thank you." She said.
"Of course. If you need to talk, come to me." Sam said her voice laced with sympathy. Hailey nodded. She wiped her tears from her face and went back to the infirmary to speak to Mala again.
Janet came out and said she was cleared to go and the blood test results would be done by the time she came back.
Jack approached Sam when she was all alone.
"You ready?" Jack asked.
Sam nodded.
"Good. Hammonds cleared me to take you shopping on the basis that you'll be back in time for the presidents briefing which has been moved up to 1500 hours. Which is almost four hours from now." Jack said looking at his watch. "But he wants you to wear a jacket over that piece of cloth." He added.
Sam blushed. What was wrong with it?
"Yeah I guess this wouldn't be appropriate for earth society." Sam said looking down at her top.
"Hey, I like it." Jack said with a smirk. Sam grinned.
"But what about money? What about my house? What did you guy's do with my house?" Sam was suddenly full of questions.
"Whoah slow down Sam. First of all the money is a gift from everyone at the SGC. Almost 3000 dollars."
"3000 dollars?"Sam breathed. She was both shocked and happy that the SGC personal had done this for her. They must have missed her dearly. She missed them all that's for sure.
"Yep and We packed up and put all of your belongings into storage. Your house was sold to some nice folk. Trust me I made sure of it." Jack said.
"Okay now that that is out of my system, lets go shopping!" Sam said.
They headed topside and into Jack's truck. As they drive the 12 miles into town Sam looked out the window in amazement . Everything looked different but it was also just the way she remembered it.
"It's been so long I forgot what everything looked like." Sam said. Sam was getting a little emotional.
"Yeah after a mission I just sometimes like to take it all in." Jack said. Sam nodded.
She wrapped her arms around her torso glad that she had actually worn a jacket.
"Cold?" Jack asked.
Sam nodded.
"Fall is such a wonderful season isn't it?" Jack asked getting lost in thought for a few seconds.
"It's fall?" Sam asked very shocked.
