Everything was still blurry, but Jack was almost positive the clock read 4 am. "Oh for crying out loud, not again," he grumbled, as he heard cries come from the next room. He pulled himself out of bed and trudged to the door. He still had a limp from his wounded leg.

"O'Neill," Jack jumped when he saw Teal'c standing at the doorway. "I believe your daughter needs you." Jack headed into Haley's room. Her covers were on the floor, and she was sitting straight up, sweat covering her face.

"Daddy?" she whispered.

"I'm here, what's the matter?" Jack asked, sitting down next to her. He put his arm around her and realized her flesh was burning up.

"Nothing's right. Nothing's right," she murmured. He felt her forehead, and pulled his hand back.

"You're burning up! Let me get the thermometer, stay here." Haley grabbed hold of his arm.

"You can't leave me alone anymore." Her voice sounded so hollow, and her eyes looked empty and far off.

"What if Teal'c stays while I get the thermometer?"

"Fine, but only if you promise to come right back," she insisted. Jack nodded, and left the room.

"T?"

"Yes O'Neill?"

"Can you sit with her for a sec while I get the thermometer?" Teal'c bowed his head down and entered Haley's room.

"Teal'c, I don't think everything is how it seems. I had a dream… they told me that this," she waved her hand around the room "is all a lie. Nothing is right. I think I need to go to the stargate. I need to get off this planet."

"The stargate?" Jack reentered the room and stuck a thermometer into Haley's mouth. "No more talking for a few minutes. Lay down." Haley obeyed, but her eyes kept darting back and forth between her father and Teal'c. Jack patiently waited for the alarm to beep, and Teal'c just stood perfectly still, in his statue pose. The thermometer beeped, and Jack read the temperature.

"Geeze. You've got a 103 temperature. That's not good; I think I should call Janet. Does anything else hurt you?"

"Just my head," Haley whispered, suddenly extremely frightened. "Daddy, what if this is it?"

"Don't be ridiculous." Jack dialed the phone and waited for an answer. He knew that he was waking Janet up, but felt he had no other choice. "Hi Janet, it's Jack. I'm really sorry to wake you... Haley has a 103 fever and she's a little delusional, she wants to leave the planet through the stargate… Yeah, that's why I was a little hesitant to just bring her to the hospital… Okay, we'll meet you there. Thank you… Bye." Jack wrapped a blanket around his shivering daughter. "Let's go."

"I put her on an IV, she was pretty dehydrated. I also gave her some ibuprofen to reduce the fever. I'm just waiting for the results of the blood work now," Janet informed Jack, who was pacing in front of his daughter's bed. She had finally fallen asleep, so they quietly walked away, so as not to disturb her.

"I don't understand," Daniel chimed in, wiping the sleep out of his eyes. "She looked fine tonight when we were at your house.

"Well, if it's some kind of virus, it could have just been starting when we left," Janet assumed. "The good news is she's not throwing up."

"Good, that rules out food poisoning. Phew!" Daniel wiped at his forehead.

"I did not put poison in your food DanielJackson," Teal'c sounded offended.

"T, what he meant was… Oh just forget it," Jack walked back into the room where the beds were, and sat down next to Haley. He ran his hands through his hair, and sighed.

"Colonel, why don't you try and get a short nap in. I'll tell you when I get the blood results," Janet suggested. For once, he didn't give her a hard time, and lay down. Next thing he knew it was an hour later, and Teal'c was standing guard over him.

"What's going on?" Jack asked. "Why haven't I gotten the blood test back?"

"Dr. Frasier asked that I inform her when you awoke. I will return with her shortly," Teal'c replied.

"Something's not right here," Jack muttered. Janet entered the room, reading off of her clipboard. "Is she alright?"

"I still haven't figured out what's wrong with her, but her fever has gone down a little bit. Come, step into my office Sir." Jack followed her into the office, leaving Teal'c to stand guard over Haley.

Daniel was sitting in the office waiting for them. "Jack, I know this may be a hard topic for you, but where's Haley's mother?"

"What's this about?" Jack questioned.

"Colonel," Dr. Frasier began slowly. "There were some… anomalies in Haley's blood. I ran further tests and, her DNA…" Janet looked over to Daniel, who gave her a reassuring nod. "She's half-human…"

Jack gave her a blank stare before it truly hit him. "Are you saying my daughter is an alien? Is she even mine?"

"Well, that's the interesting thing Jack," Daniel bit furrowed his brow.

"Her human-half of the DNA matches yours almost exactly. It's like she's a female YOU," Janet told him.

"Who is Haley's mother? Or more precisely, what?" Daniel wondered.

This was all too much for Jack to handle. His heart started to race, and the room felt like it was closing in on him. "I… I… I don't know."

"What do you mean?" Daniel asked.

"I have… NOT ONE memory of her mother. I don't know how that's possible, but that's how it is. What did she do to me?"

"Daniel, Daniel, slow down. She's what?" Carter asked, holding the phone with her shoulder as she sliced strawberries. "Are you serious? ... Okay, I guess we'll leave now… Bye." Sam hung up the phone, and put the strawberries back in the fridge. No time for breakfast today.

"What's going on?" Jacob wanted to know.

"I'm not too sure, but they need us at the base now."

"There isn't a single picture or remnant of her existence in your house?" General Hammond asked. Jack shook his head.

"And it wasn't Sara?" Daniel speculated.

"First of all, Sara is human; secondly Haley was born just before we got married. This is no use. I feel like there's a roadblock in my brain. I can't remember any of that period of time. I know certain things happened, but I can't seem to register it at all. It's like pieces of my life and Haley's life too, are erased."

"Colonel, I'd like to do a brain scan on you," Dr. Frasier suggested.

"Scan away," Jack consented.

"Last time she was awake she was asking for you," Daniel mentioned.

"It's just too much to deal with right now, I'm sorry, but just tell her I'm needed elsewhere. I don't know, spin a story, you're a creative mind Daniel. Teal'c is keeping watch right now anyways." Jack stood up, and left for the infirmary with Dr. Frasier in tow.

"Maybe we should run a background check through the Pentagon's file system on Colonel O'Neill," Sam suggested.

"Why is that?" Daniel asked.

"They have more information on us than we'd care to know about," Jacob told him.

"Maybe we can fill in some of the blanks that Colonel O'Neill can't."

"Good idea Major, get started immediately. Dr. Jackson, please assist Major Carter. Jacob, please come to my office."

"It's like they never even knew about her," Sam said, frustrated at being unable to figure out this mystery.

"There's a file on Sara and a file on Charlie. Why nothing on Haley?" Daniel questioned.

"If she truly doesn't exist I'm afraid the NID is going to figure out, and use this poor girl as a test subject," General Hammond worried.

"Relax George. She's still Jack's daughter, and he's not going to let anything like that happen to her," Jacob was pretty sure.

"Is she though? Or is this some kind of trickery?"
