I am so sorry I haven't updated earlier, I've had combination of writer's block and no time to write! Short chapter but I hope you like it!
Chapter 7: Joy and Acceptance
As they drove into the twenty year old's driveway, Hope lets out a gasp.
"What's wrong?" Carter asks.
"I kinda forgot to tell everyone back at the base something important. But you know what, I can tell everyone later when we get back."
"Are you sure because you can tell me now and tell everyone later," she tells her daughter to get her to tell the information.
"No, it's okay, it can wait. How bout we go in and meet my new cousin?"
"Sure."
Cassie answered the door and practically jumped on Carter to give her a hug, "Sam! Oh my god, I've missed you so much!"
"It's great to see you too Cassie," she says as she responds to the large hug.
They walked into the living room and sat down.
"Cassie, this is Hope," Carter introduces the two.
"Nice to meet you Hope."
"Nice to meet you too."
"You know, you look familiar. Now that I think about it, you sort of look like Jack," Cassie tells them.
"Well Cassie," Carter begins, "there's a reason for that. Hope's my daughter and General O'Neill's."
"What! Sam, why haven't you told me anything about this before?"
"Cassie let me explain." After Carter explained how this all happened, Cassie instantly understood. She then gets up and gives Hope a big hug, "Welcome to our crazy family," she tells her.
Chuckling and holding back tears of joy, "Thanks."
All Hope ever wanted was acceptance in a family since she could never call living with Oma family life. Hope was truly happy for the first time in her life.
You know what to do now! Review please! I'll try and update as soon as I can!
