First of all sorry to all my readers that this took so long. I wanted to post a full chapter, not just a filler blurb, and I've beenworking, sick, working, taking care of holiday stuff, etc. Plus I had terrible writer's block for a bit. I think things are picking up again. I promise that I'll update a lot faster this time.

Thanks a bunch to Emerald Green Queen for your continued support. I hope I'm keeping you entertained! As for your comment about how the Asgard could overpower Teal'c, he was using his strong mental, telepathic abilities. It's funny I came up with that very shortly before the episode "Prototype" which I thought had a very similar concept. I hope that all makes sense. Please do call me out on any oddities that just don't work.

RomieG, firstly congrats, if you've made it this far then you have gone through the worst of the angst. No worries :) I hope this chapter clears things up. If you have more questions let me know!

BabeBunny, thanks for the review, sorry the story took longer than I promised. Like I said, things should start to speed up!

FINALLY on with the story! And I hope everybody has a happy healthy New Year!

"It's okay! Calm down," Daniel rubbed Haley's back.

"How'd I? Oh thank you, this is good, it was a dream…" she mumbled a few more incoherent phrases as Daniel attempted to soothe her. "We're still on Thor's ship?"

"Yes," a lighter voice responded. Haley looked up to see Thor entering the room. "I believe you may have found the answers we have been looking for."

Haley shrugged and looked towards Daniel. "If she tells you what you want to know will you return us to Earth?"

"Yes, we will then have no further use for her at this particular time."

"Uhh, thank you?" Haley narrowed her eyes at Thor. Daniel let out a sigh and nudged Haley. "Okay, uh, what would you like to know?"

"Tell me what you saw while in stasis."

Haley closed her eyes trying to figure out where to begin. "Well, I was at my dad's house, I think it was a few months from now, cause it was spring time. Yeah, definitely spring. Anyways, I woke up and my dad had hot dogs for me to eat."

"You were eating a canine?" Thor questioned with as much shock as Daniel had ever seen from the alien.

"No, it's not an actual dog Thor," Daniel interjected. "It's actually made out of… well we're not entirely sure ourselves, but it's not dog. Hot dog is just the name given to it."

"I see… Please continue," Thor spoke, with a few blinks at Haley.

"So my dad brought Cassie and I- she's Doctor Frasier's daughter, you know her right? She's the ch-"

"Hale, keep going," Daniel directed.

"We shopped, which I kinda wish was real because I got some good stuff, alright, alright, sorry Daniel. Cassie and I met my dad, the rest of SG-1, and Dr. Frasier for dinner. Dinner was interrupted because they were called back to the base because of a ginormous emergency."

"Ginormous?" Thor asked.

"Sorry, never mind, really, really big emergency. It had to be big too, because my dad retired." Haley stopped to take a breath and gather her thoughts when another Asgard entered the room.

"There is some information of great interest to you," the Asgard told Thor. Haley immediately recognized his voice and let out a giant wail. She practically leapt into Daniel's arms, while he tried to calm her down.

"Why are you so greatly disturbed?" Thor asked. His companion just stood there blinking at Haley, not quite sure what was going on.

"It, it, was in my dream! You hurt me! You hurt my dad! You hurt people in the SGC!"

"The girl is mistaken-"

"I know who you are Romnir!" Haley pointed her finger at him. "And I know that you're one of the bad guys!"

"I have found sufficient information Daniel Jackson. You may return home now," Thor spoke as if nothing strange was occurring and one of his crew was not being accused of wrongdoings.

"Wait!" Haley screamed, only to realize she was in the gate room of the SGC. Her eyes widened as she realized that there were guns fixed on her. The sound of somebody screaming "stand down" was heard as Haley collapsed, Daniel quickly catching her on the way down.

Jack raced through the corridors, nearly knocking people over as he made his way to the infirmary. From the hall he heard "I'm fine! I SWEAR! Seriously what does that light even do!" Jack walked into the room and immediately a grin spread across his face. His daughter was propped up in bed and kept swatting at the nurse who was trying to shine a penlight into her eyes.

"Hi there," Jack sat on the side of Haley's bed. Her face lit up and she threw her arms around him. Jack held onto her as firmly as he could, afraid to let go.

"Daddy, you're hurting me," Haley grumbled into his shoulder. He loosened his grip on her and placed a kiss on her forehead. "Please get me out of here," she pleaded eyes wide and begging.

"Colonel, I believe the dehydration and malnourishment on Thor's ship combined with the shock of being returned into the gate room with a dozen guns fixed on her caused Haley to faint," Doctor Frasier informed him, entering the room. "I just want to do a simple checkup to make sure everything is alright. Daniel is suffering from the same condition right now; apparently the two of you share the same distaste for Asgard cuisine. HE didn't fight me on the exam though."

"Like he would," Haley moaned. Jack chuckled, but stopped when Janet sent him a death glare.

"Listen to the doc, she knows what she's talking about." Haley closed her eyes and stuck out her arm for the blood to be drawn. With her free hand she grabbed onto her father's and squeezed as hard as she could when the needle was injected and the blood taken.

"See, it wasn't that bad."

"Speak for yourself Doc, she needs her nails cut!" Jack rubbed at his hand, eliciting a chuckle from Haley. Jack's face turned somber and he studied his daughter. She looked exhausted. Her skin was pale, and drew attention to the dark circles under her eyes.

"Why are you staring at me?"

"You're here. You don't know how happy that makes me." Haley let out a slight smile and rolled her eyes a bit.

"That's kind of corny…"

"Look what you've reduced me to child!"

"I'm not a-"

"Yeah, yeah… I'll give you some privacy here while the good doc finishes your exam. I'll be in the hallway if you need me."

Jack stepped out of the room, feeling as if a few hundred pounds had been lifted off of his back. It did seem too good to be true, but for the moment he could breathe a sigh of relief. Waiting in the hall were Teal'c, Carter, and General Hammond.

"How is she Jack?"

"Needs some food and water, but they've returned her in one piece, sir."

"I'm glad to hear that. Dr. Jackson will debrief us once Dr. Frasier releases him from the infirmary. I have to call the president and try to figure out if our alliance with the Asgard is over or not."

"Sir, I was kind of hoping we could locate their ship if it's still here, and shoot it out of the sky…" General Hammond let out a giant sigh while Teal'c raised an eyebrow and Carter's mouth hung a little bit open.

"You can't kill the Asgard," a sad voice came from the doorway. Everybody turned to see Haley, and it was clear that she was about to cry.

"What you like your kidnappers now? The Asgard have screwed around with my life far too much! Where do they get off-" Jack trailed off when he heard short sobs coming from his daughter.

Jack stepped over to Haley to offer her a hug. "What's the matt-"

"NO! Leave me alone!" she pushed him off of her and ran back into the infirmary. Jack was bewildered and had no idea how to calm Haley down because he wasn't entirely sure what had made her so upset.

"Would you like me to try and speak to her sir?" Carter offered. Jack closed his eyes and nodded. He was left with Teal'c and Hammond. The General let out a sigh and excused himself claiming the president was waiting for his call.

Jack squeezed his eyes shut, feeling the beginnings of a massive headache. "O'Neill, I believe I know how you have upset Haley O'Neill."

"Yeah, how's that T?"

"She thinks that you are angrier with the Asgard for bringing her into your life than for taking her away."

"That's ridiculous!"

"Sometimes when people, especially adolescents, are in turmoil they often bound to the wrong conclusions."

"Jump, T."

"Why do you wish me to do that?"

"It's jump to the wrong conclusions- oh were you trying to make me smile? I get it, thanks." Jack let out a deep sigh, "what am I going to do with her?"

"Haley you don't see what everybody else sees," Sam tried to gently explain to the girl whose back she was currently talking to. Haley was curled up on the infirmary bed fixing her eyes on a crack on the far left wall. "When you were missing he was a mess-"

"He's never a mess. Come on Sam, you know he never shows emotions!"

"You and I both know that's not true. Yes your father tries to hide or push back his worries, but when it comes to you he's not that talented. We all knew he was going crazy with worry. Trust me. Nobody on base wanted to be within a hundred feet of him… myself included."

"R…r…really?" she sniffed.

"Yes. Are you ready to see your dad?" Haley rolled over and looked up at Sam, who genuinely appeared to be telling the truth. She looked like the past week had taken a huge toll on her. Haley slowly nodded.

"If you don't want that IV we were discussing earlier I suggest you eat right now Miss O'Neill," Dr. Frasier announced, carrying a tray to her patient.

"I'm going to get the Colonel," Carter informed them, leaving Haley with the doctor, a plate of food, and the threat of an IV. Poor Janet, she thought, those O'Neill's make horrible patients.

It didn't take Sam long to find Jack. He was sitting in the commissary poking around at a piece of cake. Teal'c was on the opposite side of him feasting on what appeared to be the SGC's entire stock of fruit.

"Your presence is being requested," Carter informed the colonel sitting down across from him and next to Teal'c.

He didn't meet her eyes, continued to prod at the cake, and mumbled "by who?"

"By whom? Your daughter," with those words Jack's eyes quickly flew up to lock with Sam's. "I think she still needs a little reassurance from you that you really do care."

"How could she even question how I feel?" Jack angrily asked.

"She's been through a rough time, her whole world repeatedly turned upside down. A little insecurity is only natural."

"Indeed, O'Neill, it is a father's duty to make his children feel exceptional. I believe that you have this power within you."

"Thanks T," Jack rose from his seat and straightened out his shirt. "I guess I better go and act all mushy… The things you do for kids," he grumbled. "Carter I'll find you later," he patted her shoulder and walked off towards the infirmary. Sam's cheeks reddened, as she grew nervous of anybody catching that little contact.

"You are extremely paranoid," Teal'c noted. "Is a comrade not allowed to make friendly contact with fellow teammates?" Sam let out a nervous chuckle and excused herself to finish up some work in her lab.

Dr. Frasier stood watch over Haley while she munched on a piece of toast. She had proven to be just as stubborn a patient as her father, down to the same fear of needles. She hadn't tried escaping though, and remained respectful throughout her stay. A hand on her shoulder interrupted Janet's thoughts and made her jump a little.

"Daniel! You're supposed to be resting," Janet chastised, knowing that he was getting restless.

"I'd much rather rest in my own bed, and the briefing isn't until tomorrow anyways." Daniel gave one of his mastered puppy-dog looks, knowing he'd get his way.

Janet let out a sigh. "I was actually planning on leaving soon anyways. As soon as I make sure she's in good hands," she nodded towards Haley, now gulping down some orange juice.

"I promise I won't let her out of my sight Doc." Jack walked into the room and sat on the edge of Haley's bed. Her smile was at first timid, but began rapidly spreading across her face.

"Daddy, I… I'm sorry I yelled at you earlier. I think I might have been wrong…"

"You think?"

"Okay, okay, I know… Sam kinda made me feel better." Haley looked around and pulled Jack closer to her. "She's a keeper you know," she quietly informed him.

Jack just smiled and hugged his daughter. "You know you're the best thing in my life. If I had to make a choice I would tell Thor to give you to me again. I just wouldn't let him take you… back." Unbeknownst to the O'Neill's, Janet and Daniel had discreetly slipped out of the room. Jack figured the doc would have made it clear before going home if she wanted Haley to remain in the infirmary any longer. "How about I spring you from this joint?"

"That sounds perfect; I'm ready to go home."
