"Carter? What's wrong?" Sam was sitting in a corner curled up and appeared to be crying.

"Jack?" she asked before launching herself into his arms.

"Sam? Don't cry, I hate it when you cry." Jack said rubbing slow circles on her back gently shushing her. "Sam what's wrong?" he tried again when she had started to calm down.

"he-please don't- don't let him- hates me- hurt..." she let her fractioned sentence fade as she began to fall into hysterics again.

"Shhh. Shhh. Sam, who? Cause I swear whoever it is I'll make sure he leaves you alone. Talk to me Sam. please." Pulling back slightly so he could look her in the eye.

Sam's eyes suddenly got huge as she looked at something over his shoulder. "NO! Don't- please don't- please no"

"Babe I've been looking all over for you I'm not surprised to find you here with your Colonel." A small man sneered and Sam began backing away from jack as jack tried to place himself between this man and Sam but he couldn't move. "You know Babe I don't like cheaters. You know what I do to cheaters? Well usually I arrest them but in some cases I have to shoot them!" and he pulled a small pistol from a holster at his side.

"No, don't. Stop please!" Sam mustered as much force behind those words as she could.

"Hey! This doesn't need to happen I'm sure we could –"

"You shut up you're the whole reason for this screw up-"he pointed to Sam, "in the first place! If it hadn't been for her stupid knight in shining armor she would have married me and we could have lived my happily ever after. A white picket fence as many kids as I wanted and not to mention the dogs. And to top it off I could go to bed with my gorgeous if stupid wife." He grimaced at her.

"I'm sorry! I didn't mean to hurt you. It wouldn't have worked. I couldn't give you all of me because there is a part of me that isn't mine to give."

"Oh no matter now Sam." He said raising the pistol. "No the rest of you won't be yours to give." Taking aim at the middle of her forehead, "oh and don't worry about me Sam, I'm a cop I know how to avoid the authorities."

"SAM!" Jack screamed running towards her only to fall and realize that his feet were wrapped in a sheet. Looking around he realized he was in his bedroom. "Oh thank God." He said glad it was only a dream debating whether or not to call her and make sure she's ok. 'oh yeah that'll go over real swell 'hi Carter I just wanted to make sure no maniac boyfriend of yours had shot you because I had this dream that it had happened and it kind of freaked me out.' Right and then she report you for inappropriate feelings towards a subordinate officer.' He stood and went to the bathroom before getting back into bed and falling into a thankfully dreamless sleep.

"Jack! -"

"Whoa Danny, breath. Oxygen is a good thing. Good now what are you talking about."

"Hold on." Daniel held up a hand as he answered his ringing phone. "Hello? Yes...uh no not yet...yes sir...bye sir. I have to get a report to Hammond go get Sam she hasn't checked in yet. Meet me in the infirmary in thirty minutes." And he hurried off to go finish a report.

"Ok Daniel."

0o0o0o0o0o0o

"What's his name?"

"Now what makes you th-"

"Humming."

"I was?"

"You were. So what's his name?"

"Pete"

"Pete."

"Shanahan, he's a cop."

"Speeding again?"

"Funny. He's a friend of my brother's."

"Oh, a set-up."

"Pathetic I know."

"No it's...great."

"Is it?"

"Is it not?" Damn I told to get a life; I didn't expect her to start dating someone. Well as long as she's happy.

"Sir? Siiiirrrrr?" she called in a sing-song voice when shed noticed he'd spaced out.

"Huh – what. Sorry what'd you say?"

"Where are we going?"

"Uhm we're meeting Daniel in the infirmary, but I think we should get him some coffee first he's pretty jumpy I think he pulled another all-nighter."

"Ah. Why?"

"Uhm not sure he started to explain then General Hammond called him."

"Oh."

0o0o0o0o0o0o0o

"Jack, Sam what took you so long?"

"We stopped to get you coffee." He said as he pushed a large cup of coffee into his hands.

"Oh thanks. Um you're going to want to see this." He said as he led them to the far corner in the infirmary. When they were almost there Sam stopped. When jack noticed her absence he turned back to her only to have her shove her coffee cup at him and run to the occupied hospital bed.

"My God mark how you managed this?" she asked the unconscious person on the bed not realizing that her brother was actually much younger than he should be.

"Hey, Carter, who's this?"

"Oh sorry, Sir, this is my brother."

"Okay then who're they?" he asked pointing to the kids sitting on the other side of the bed.

"Probably the reason we're here."

"Daniel do you know who they are?"

"Yes, jack."

"Care to explain?"

"I told you before they are the three kids who came through the mirror. One of them was shot."

"You didn't say that."

"Yes I did."

"No you did not."

"Did"

"Didn't."

"Did"

"Enough! I won't have your arguing upsetting my patients."

"Janet if they came through the mirror did you give them the serum?"

"Yeah I hope it works."

"Serum?" jack questioned.

"Yes, Sir. I made it just for this occurrence. The injection slightly alters the persons DNA." Seeing the worried look on the young blondes face, Sam elaborated. "Don't worry its only temporary it lasts about a day then your DNA goes back to normal. It's just too hopefully stop entropic cascade failure because you won't be the same as anyone else in this reality. Of course there is always the possibility that there is someone who has the same DNA as yours when it's altered, but we're going to hope not."

"What's entropic cascade failure?" The young Blonde asked

Seeing Carter about to go into a long explanation he stopped her by saying, "painful! Its painful and it makes your face go out at weird angles and you wouldn't want that to happen to you."

"No I meant- "

"ACH! I know I know it's just that Carter here can't resist getting into a long explanation about anything scientific."

"That sounds a lot like you, Sam." The young brown- hairdo boy teased.

"Okay... well what are your names?" Carter Asked before anyone could get into an argument then they'd all be in trouble with Janet.

"Well I'm Samantha Carter and this is Jonathan O'Neill. But you can call us Sam and Jack. Oh and this is my brother Mark."

The colonel and Major looked at each other. "Um Sir Do you think we should call General Hammond down here?"

"Yeah carter I think that's a great idea."


Well send me your thoughts if you want anything specific to happen i'll see if i can work it in there somehow!
