Life of a warrior part 11
Previously on Life of a warrior...
"I have to go soon but this is for the clones." Hayes handed an envelope to Jon who had stayed silent through the entire meeting.
Jon opened it. His eyes bugged out and his jaw dropped nearly twenty feet.
"This is a check for 25 million dollars." Jon said as if to say there was a mistake.
"You are our future, you and the other clones. We figured you could by a house for all of you until you get out of high school." Hayes said.
Jon nodded.
"So you want to meet Mini Sam?" Jack asked.
"Hells ya!" Jon said.
"Major, Colonel remember our diner is tomorrow." Hayes said before beaming out.
And now the continuation...
Three hours later Janet, Daniel and Teal'c came back with their clones.
"Okay. The certificates are done. Report to the infirmary for testing and then you are free to go." Hammond said.
"But what do we do about money?" 'Terri' Theresa asked.
"Jon has a cheque from the president. It should support you guy's for a long time." Sam said.
The clones left for the infirmary.
The kids were with Walter again. He would babysit them while they went shopping.
"Didn't think that this was going to happen today." Jack said.
"That makes two of Jack." Hammond said before heading into his office.
Sam smiled.
I know you don't like the idea of having a copy of yourself out there but that was your choice. This is ours." Sam said seriously to him.
"I know Sam and I respect that it's just..."
"Your not comfortable with it but whats done is done. Now let's go say goodbye and head out shopping... Four hours later then I wanted to." Sam said looking at her watch.
"Well we should hurry. The medical people are getting faster at those blood tests." Jack said. They passed by Walter in the control room. They held hands up to the surface and got into their mini van and headed to the mall.
They headed straight to the furniture store. They would only buy beds and dressers. They would be back for more furniture when their house was done.
"We need a crib." Sam said. Jack nodded. Hannah had been sleeping in a bassinet that an airmen had brought to base a day after Sam had her kids on base.
"I like this one." Jack pointed to a lovely oak wood crib.
"Yeah, me too. We can paint yellow." Sam said.
"Do you folks need help with anything?" A young boy around twenty asked them. Sam and Jack assumed that he worked here.
"Kid you work here?" Jack asked.
"Yes and the name is is Kip Julius."
"Okay Sam. You take over." Jack said to Sam.
"We need a crib. 2 twin beds for children at the age of two and three, as well as, 3 dressers and bedding." Sam told him.
"Alright and I'm assuming this is the crib you want?" Kip asked.
"Yes." Sam said.
"Okay just let me write down the ID number and I will take you to the children's beds... Done. Please follow me."
They went down two aisles before coming across the children's beds.
"I'll stay here until you are done looking." Kip told them. Jack and Sam came across a bed that they really liked.
"Hey kid!" Jack said.
"Kip." the boy responded coming over to their position.
"Whatever. What colours does this bed come in?" Jack asked. Sam swatted his arm for being so rude.
"Black, silver, grey, yellow, red, white, blue and lime green." Kip said.
"We'll take one in white and one in black." Sam said. They moved unto dressers. After a half hour more of shopping, Sam and Jack had everything they needed. A crib, 2 beds, 3 dressers and bedding. In total it was close to ten thousand dollars. When asked if they wanted a payment plan, they said no. The clerk and young Kip were shocked that they could pay it upfront.
"Thank you." Sam said.
"We want the stuff delivered to this address." Jack handed Kip a piece of paper.
"No problem sir. Should arrive by tomorrow morning."
Jack and Sam left the store.
"Jack you check out the movie store. I need to do something."
"Okay cool. Meet at the food court in forty five minutes?"
"You know it." Sam kissed Jack before heading in the opposite direction.
Jack wondered what she was doing. He would find out soon enough.
Jack looked through all of the DVD's. He bought Simpsons season 17 and 20. Jack wanted to show the kids if Sam would let him. One could hope. With ten minutes to spare Jack came to the food court and got himself a medium thing of fries.
Jack was watching the large hallway for his wife and sure enough she came walking towards him ten minutes later. She looked a little different then before. Her hair was now just above her mid back and it was slightly more wavy.
"Do you like it?" Sam asked doing a full 360° turn as soon as she got to Jack's table.
"I think your always good looking but the haircut is nice. I'm hurt that you didn't tell me." Jack said.
"I wanted to surprise you." Sam said looking a little hurt. Jack saw this.
"No it's good Sam. It's very hot."
"And easier to handle." Sam said.
"So what did you do with the excess hair?" Jack asked.
"Told the hairstylist to give it to the cancer wig hair foundation."
"Good for you. So do you want to eat or head back to the SGC?"
"Let's head back. I want to see the kids."
"I'm cool with that." Jack said. They walked to the Van outside and drove to the SGC.
Daniel was in the elevator.
"Whoah you got a haircut Sam? Looks good."
"Thank you Daniel." Sam said. "It should be easier to handle now."
Sam's hair was in a braid that swung over her left shoulder.
"Daniel you know where Walter and the kids are?" Jack asked.
"They've been in the commissary for the last half hour." the elevator stopped. "This is my stop. My wife is demanding a back massage." Daniel said with a smirk.
"Catch you later space monkey." Jack with a grin as the elevator doors closed.
"That wasn't very nice Jack. You now that he hates that nickname." Sam said. They got off the elevator two floors down.
"But that's what makes it so fun." Jack said. Sam gave him a look that clearly said 'Don't question me'.
"Okay I won't do it anymore." Jack said slightly resigned.
"That's better." Sam said.
They walked into the commissary. Walter was sitting at the table with Grace, AJ, Hannah, Nadya and Hailey.
"Were they good Walter?" Jack asked.
"Yes, although Hannah got a little cranky but she's all good now." Walter responded.
"Jennifer, Jack and I have been talking. We would like you to be the girls godmother. I know you have your hands full with Nadya but..." Sam trailed off.
"Okay. In fact I would be honoured." Jennifer said.
"Thank you. Now it's getting extremely late and certain children need to go to sleep." Sam said.
As if on cue Grace yawned and AJ followed suit.
"I should get Nadya to bed as well." Jennifer said. "I'll see you later Walter." Jennifer said before she left.
"Bye Walter." Jack said. Jack carried the two very sleepy toddlers while Sam carried Hannah who was already asleep.
Back at their quarters the kids were placed in their beds. Sam and Jack lay on their own bed.
"We still haven't set a date for the wedding." Jack stated more then asked.
"I want to be married soon." Sam told him.
"How about this week? We can have a small ceremony in the gate room. Since your Family has clearance they can come." Jack said excitingly.
"I like that idea but we'll have to get into contact with dad first. We should have the wedding before my first mission back."
"I agree. Now lets get some rest. We have a big day ahead of us. Setting up the furniture and dinner with the leader of our free country." Jack said. Sam nodded and yawned.
"Good night Jack." Sam said sleepily.
"Night Sam." Jack said as he heard Sam beginning to snore. He soon fell asleep too.
A little shorter then I wanted but it'll do. Next up setting up the kids room and dinner with the president himself.
