Life of a warrior part 6
Previously on Life of a warrior...
Sam arrived in the food court a little later, about five minutes. It wasn't as busy as it had been before. Sam was actually surprised that Jack left her on her own after less then a day back on earth.
She sat on a bench. Earth may be crowded but it was home. She had made her decision.
And now the continuation...
Sam and Jack headed back to the SGC. Sam was now wearing thigh fitting jeans and a tank top. Her hair done in a ponytail down her back. Sam hadn't told Jack her decision yet, she wanted to give the news to Her god father as well as the man she loved back at the SGC. They would be so happy. It had only been twelve hours since she last saw her girls. She missed them so much.
She stopped by the infirmary first.
Janet looked solemn.
"What's wrong Janet?" Sam asked worried.
"It's Mala. She's not reacting well to the tretonin." Janet told her. Sam nodded. Hailey was at Mala's side. "And Sam the blood test came back Jack O'Neill is the fraternal side of the DNA."
"Thank you for letting me know. I hope this all works out especially for Mala." Sam said. She left feeling more weighed down. If this tretonin didn't work for Mala, Sam would be Ish'ta's only second and that meant she would have to stay at Hak'tyl and not be able to stay on earth.
Sam headed up to the Control room. Jack had already gone up there to talk with Hammond. All of her shopping was in her VIP quarters.
Sam didn't have to meet the president for another hour. When Sam arrived in the control room.
"Major General Hammond and Colonel O'Neill would like to see you upstairs right away ma'am." Walter said. He smiled it was so good to have her back. He couldn't wait in till she met the new science head.
"Thank you Walter." Sam smiled at him. Definatly good to have her back. Any man at the SGC would melt at that mega watt smile.
Sam headed upstairs. There she had a surprise.
"Grace, AJ what are you doing here?" Sam asked in surprise. In the briefing room was all three of Sam's daughter as well as Ish'ta and Mala's two year old daughter Nadya. Jack and Hammond stood behind them.
"The Leader of this facility invited us here, however I must return home soon. Samantha you feel that if Mala does not survive this experiment you should return as my second but you must stay with your people."
"But..." Sam began.
"Samantha you are needed here. You can visit us. You will always have a place among us." Ish'ta said.
Sam felt a lump in her throat. She nodded.
Ish'ta left. Ish'ta loved Samantha like a close sister even though she was 21 years older, she definatly didn't look it. She wanted Samantha to be happy and that was with her own people of this advanced world. Especially this Jack O'Neill. Ish'ta knew Samantha would be happy here.
"Guess I'm staying. You knew." Sam said to Jack.
"Yep thought you'd like the surprise." Jack said with a smug smile. He was holding Hannah who was sleeping quietly.
"I call you up here when it's time for your meeting." Hammond said.
"Thank you Uncle George." Sam said putting AJ on her hip. Hammond nodded and went into his office. Nadya was brought to the infirmary by a MP.
"Girls this is you daddy." Sam said to all of her girls but Jack knew this was meant more for Grace. Jacks eyes widened. The test was positive. They would talk about this later.
"Really?" Grace said with big blue eyes.
"Yeppers." Jack said. Grace looked so excited. AJ appeared happy but she was a very shy girl. Hannah of course had no reaction.
"Mama why are you wearing strange clothes?" Grace asked.
"It's this worlds custom but no speaking of other worlds when we are out." Sam said. Her two three year old's nodded. They were both quite smart for their young age.
"Ya and your mother got you some." Jack said.
"Now we will go into my room and get you guy's some toys to play with." Sam said. They headed to her quarter at sub level 16.
"I already have some on base." Jack said with his wonderful smile.
"Of course you do." Sam said smiling back at him.
"Can I call you daddy?" Grace asked Jack once they were in the VIP quarters. Jack looked very surprised by the question.
"Me too." AJ said getting down from her mother.
"Are you two sure because you just met him." Sam said. She really wanted them to but she had to be sure they were ready.
"Yes." Grace said simply. Jack looked at Sam for her confirmation of okay. Sam nodded at him.
"Since it's okay with your mother then yes." Jack said. Grace ran over to him and hugged him. AJ followed her sisters actions.
"I love you Daddy." Grace murmured into his chest. Both Sam and Jacks hearts soared at those four words.
The next hour went by quickly. Jack had brought his toys and video games into the room. Janet had brought a bassinet into the room, so that Hannah could lie in it. There were two single beds on the south side of the room. The queen size bed was at the east corner. The door was at the west end. There was a couch and a 32'' TV.
Jack had fun teaching the young toddlers the video game system. They were all laughing and having fun when Sam left for her meeting.
She had changed into her Dark navy slacks, matching Jacket with a white tank top underneath. Her hair was in a ponytail going down her back. Very simple but still fancy. Sam felt that this was appropriate to see the president with.
She came into the briefing room. General Hammond was waiting for her.
"Are you coming with me?" Sam asked the general.
"Nope Sam but have fun." Hammond said with a smile. There was a white flash and Sam was gone.
Soon she was in the office outside the oval office. The secretary looked up startled.
"Samantha Carter to see the president." Sam said with a smile. Liz, the secretary nodded. She went to the oval office door and opened it.
"Mr. President, she's here." Liz said. She looked at Sam.
"He will see you now."
"Thank you." Sam said. She walked into the oval office. It was big but didn't seem to surprise Sam all that much.
The president was hunched over his desk reading a file. A few seconds later he placed it the desk and looked at Sam.
"You weren't in office last time I was on earth." Sam said curiously.
"Yes I was elected 11 months ago. President Henry Hayes. I've been reading up on the SGC and you. To say I'm impressed would be an understatement." The president walked around his desk and shook Sam's hand.
"Well it's a pleasure to meet you." Sam said. The president smiled.
"Please have a seat. I have much to speak to you about."
Sam sat on the couch in the middle of the office. Henry Hayes sat across from her.
"First of all I am glad you have been recovered safely. I listened to your briefing and learned what had happened to you." Henry Hayes said.
"Yes I'm still not sure where those six months went." Sam said. She was still confused about that last part. That was a mystery in itself.
"Yes and I want to know I love the work you do. You have saved our planet many times."
"Thank you Sir."
"We want you to be reinstated into the military." Hayes said.
"But I can't..." Sam said.
"Why not?" Hayes asked.
"Because the hour I returned to the SGC Colonel O'Neill proposed to me and I accepted and I learned he is the biological father of my oldest daughter." Sam told the leader of the free country.
"Yes George told me that. I should let you know that if you accept coming back into the military, We will drop the regulations for the entire base as to not bring unnecessary attention to you and Jack O'Neill." Hayes said.
"Really you would do that?" Sam asked her hopes rising.
"Yes. Now do you accept?"
"Yes sir." Sam said with enthusiasm. She and the president shook hands. Suddenly the door opened.
"Henry I have..." The man in the door stopped when he spotted the now reinstated Major Samantha Carter. The man at the door to the oval office was the one and only Robert Kinsey.
"I'm vice president Kinsey and just who may you be?" Kinsey said with his hand extended. He obviously didn't recognize her. Sam looked at him coldly.
"I'm surprised you don't recognize me Mr. Vice president." Sam said with a sneer. She turned to the president. "Thank you for all you have done Mr. President." Sam smiled at him.
"Here Major I have a pre wedding gift for you." Hayes handed her a thin envelope. Before Sam could open it Kinsey finally remembered who she was.
"I thought you were MIA Major Carter." Kinsey said.
"I was intill 0700." Sam said, the coldness evident in her voice.
"Robert please leave the major and I are not quite finished yet." Hayes said.
Kinsey looked like he was going to become a steam train with how red his face was becoming but he left the oval office, closing the door behind him.
"Do you want me to open it now sir?" Sam asked.
"Yes." Hayes simply said.
Sam nodded and carefully opened it.
"You know you can rip it." Hayes said.
"Yes sir. It's just that I am a perfectionist. One of my flaws." Sam said. The president gave a small and short chuckle.
"Trust me major, I doubt you have many flaws. Now open your gift." Hayes playfully ordered. He seemed a little like Jack at that moment. Sam took a small piece of paper. It was a cheque. Sam was speechless at the amount.
"This is from myself, the joint chiefs, the chief of staff and as well as my Wife Janice." Hayes said.
"But this...this is 1 billion dollars. That's a lot of money Mr. President." Sam said. She was very shocked. That was a lot of money.
"Between you and Jack O'Neill, you both deserve it." Hayes said.
"Thank you so much sir." Sam said.
"Now I expect you for dinner at my home on the first of October, next week. Bring your fiance and children. At least my David(9), Geoffry(6), Zakk(4), Chelsea and Cherise(3) will have someone to play with." Hayes said with a genuine smile.
"Yes sir." Sam said. The two shook hands and Sam left. She was beamed back to the SGC. She went straight to her quarters after telling General Hammond she had been reinstated. Jack was watching her children sleep. Of course they were now his children. Sam came in, she quietly shut the door.
"So how did it go?" Jack asked in a quiet whisper.
"Okay." Sam whispered back. "I've been reinstated." She said still whispering.
"What!" Jack said a little loudly. Grace stirred but didn't wake up.
"Relax Jack. The president pardoned the regs for everyone on base if I agreed to be reinstated." Sam said.
"Good. Did you get to see who the vice president of our country?" Jack whispered with a cold edge to his voice.
"Yes but he didn't even recognize me at first the bastard." Sam said. Jack nodded. He felt the exact same way. "The president gave us an engagement gift." Sam handed him the perfectly reopened envelope. He took out the cheque and his eyes widened after reading the number on it.
"My reaction was pretty much the same Jack." Sam said with a giggle.
"As much as I just want to gaze at the 1 billion dollars I am holding in my palms, Janet wants to see you." Jack said. He put the cheque back in the envelope. He put it the dresser.
"But what about the kids?" Sam asked. Just then the door opened and Walter walked in.
"Walter said he would look after them, didn't he?" Jack said, half asking the tech.
"Yes sir." Walter said, He looked at the kids with a protective gaze. Sam saw this.
"You have kids Walter?" She asked.
"Yes ma'am. Divorced. I have two kids, I see them every 2 weeks on weekends. Aiden is 10 and Olive is 6." He replied. Walter usually didn't talk about his private life at work like so many others at the SGC.
"Oh, we'll catch up later Walter." Sam said. "And thank you for looking after the kids, you are now their godfather."
"Major... I..." Walter stammered. He had not expected that last part and he was very surprised by it.
"Except it Walter." Jack told him.
"Yes sir. Thanks Ma'am, I am honoured." Walter said. Sam flashed him, her famous mega watt smile. Jack and Sam left the quarters and a now very happy Walter Harriman Davies.
