Highsummoner17: Thanks, I'll try and put more chapters up once.
Chapter 8 - Guys and Dolls
After shopping for around four hours and dropping the bags at Carter's house, Hope and Carter drove back to the SGC since the guys were still there. As they entered O'Neill's office to check in, he noticed the frustrated look Carter was giving their daughter.
"Hey dad."
"Hey Hope, um I'm a little scared to asked but I will anyway, have a good time shopping?"
"Yeah, it was great but I think mom's a little upset with me," Hope said with an innocent smile.
"Carter?" he asks her to explain.
"Permission to speak freely sir?" Carter asks before she continues.
"Of course Carter, anytime."
"Well sir," she sits down across from his desk before continuing. "Your daughter is never allowed out in public until she's is forty years old!" During this explanation her voice gets louder and louder while Hope tries to keep her innocent face and O'Neill tries to figure out what's going on. "Sorry sir," she adds once she realizes she was practically yelling.
"Ooookkkay," O'Neill starts, "Maybe I'll try again. So how was the mall?"
"I think mom doesn't like the fact that there are actually guys at the mall."
"Carter?"
"Well sir, it seems like we're going to have a long line of boys lining up to our front doors as soon as people know she's "arrived" on earth."
O'Neill clears his throat and looks at little unnerved. "Hope?"
"I swear I didn't do anything," she says holding up her hands as if to surrender.
"Sir, I was sure at least six teenage boys were "making eyes" at her when we were at the mall," Carter explains while adding the air quotes.
"But I also remember a few guys were "making eyes" at you!" Hope adds pointing at Carter. At this O'Neill raises his eyebrow looking at her.
"Sir, you know that's a lie, she's trying to diverge the attention away from herself. I did it all the time when I was younger."
"Really Carter? I don't think I can picture you as a bad girl type."
"You'd be surprised sir."
"I bet I would." After this they share one of their longing looks before their interrupted by someone clearing their throat in the doorway.
"I am sorry O'Neill, Colonel Carter, Hope O'Neill, Daniel Jackson and I would like to speak with Hope O'Neill of certain fact we have found." Teal'c says from his position from the door.
"Um, yeah, I think that's ok, Hope?" At the nod of her head she gets up after saying her goodbyes and follows Teal'c out the door.
"Carter? Did we ever decide what her last name was going to be?" O'Neill asks when Teal'c and Hope were out of hearing range.
Smiling, "No sir, but I think O'Neill fits her better then Carter would."
"If you say so. So, watcha get at the mall?"
"Just clothes sir, and a few other different necessaries for Hope."
"So no dolls for her then?" O'Neill asks smiling.
"Dolls?" Realizing he was joking she blushes slightly and answers, "No sir, no dolls, I think she's quite out grown for dolls now," she then adds slightly under her breathe, "I just wish I could say the same thing about the boys."
I hope you liked it! I'm actually having some guy trouble right now so I thought hope should too! Lol. So you know what to do, and don't worry, I'm writing another chapter right now so I'll probably put it up tonight or tomorrow.
