Thanks so much to Nyrocat, who seems like my only reviewer, wish I had more (hint hint). I know this chapter is short, I know what I want to write for the next chapter so I think it'll be up soon!

Chapter 14- Erg, More Bowing?

They arrived on the Tok'ra's planet and it was, as always, a desert planet.

"Oh God, not another one," Hope muttered to herself but Carter, who was standing next to her, heard it.

"What do you mean not another one?" she asked her daughter.

"It's just that...I totally hate desert planets, I lived on one before I came to earth."

"You're not the only one, I hate them too."

"Really?"

"Yup"

"Okay kids, lets get going," O'Neill ordered as they headed towards the rings.

Once they arrived at the rings that led into the Tok'ra tunnels, everyone around them looked at Hope, then bowed suddenly. Hope, being self conscious about this, said to herself, "Erg, more bowing? When will this ever stop?" before trying to get all of them to stand back up telling them, "Please don't bow, it's really not necessary."

As they walked along the hallways, Hope kept having to persuade the Tok'ra to not bow for her, she then noticed after asking a rather good looking (which she didn't tell anyone she thought this) teenage boy with blue eyes and short light brown hair, not to bow, he had bowed when she had turned her back. When Hope realized this, she turned back with everyone watching and crouched down my the teenage Tok'ra.

She then noticed something peculiar, "I've sensed every Tok'ra here has a symbiote, but I don't sense any naquadah in you, why is that?"

"I do not share my body with a symbiote," he answered her, "there hasn't been any symbiotes in need of a host so I am merely waiting."

"Oh, okay, well my I'm Hope," she said standing and holding out her hand. He took her hand, stood up and told her, "I am Caleb."

All of a sudden, Carter bends down falling to the floor, holding her stomach and moans while Jacob and O'Neill crowd her to see what's wrong. After most of the pain was gone, she sits down and assures everyone that she was all right. She then looks up to Caleb and asks, "Your parents were Martouf and Jolinar's host, weren't they?" At the nod of his head she began to explain, "I just had one of Jolinar's memories of her host having you, the pain was incredible knowing that Jolinar couldn't help with the pain. Why didn't Martouf tell me that he had a son?"

"He knew you would learn one day," Caleb started, "and if you had the vision from Jolinar's memories, he would have to eventually tell you all about me, but that had never happened. When I was younger, I learned different self-defense techniques on another planet. When my father died, I came back to the Tok'ra to help with missions and other such things and would receive a symbiote when a host was needed."

"Dad," Carter turns to Jacob, "why haven't you told us about any of this?"

"Well, I didn't feel it was necessary to inform you of anything. You didn't have the memory yet so I knew it was only a matter of time."

"Okay," O'Neill jumps in, "well while we're all nice and dandy, let's get moving on that test, shall we?"

"Well it was nice to meet you, Caleb," Carter said before moving to follow her CO.

"Nice to meet you, maybe I'll see ya later, just no more bowing, okay?" Hope said to Caleb before turning to follow the others.
