O'Neill Family Tragedies

Jack looked at Daniel then Teal'c then he last looked at Sam and seeing the look on her face made him resolve to tell them everything.

"Yea I was married before I married Sarah. Oh and the answer to your other question Louise is my eldest child" Jack said looking at them.

"What you have another child as well" Daniel said looking even more shocked.

"Yea, well as I said Sarah is my second wife. My first wife's name was Katelyn, she was my high school girlfriend. Two weeks after graduation she came around my house and told me she was pregnant, my parents were strict Catholics and they didn't believe in children outside of wed lock, so we were forced to get married." Jack paused for a moment to look to see if his team were following and they were, they were all glued listening to every word Jack said. "Well 7 and half months later Louise was born, and I fell instantly in love with fatherhood but Katelyn hated being a mother. We went on with our life's I joined the air force and she had her work. The thing was me and Katelyn didn't love each other but we still shared a bed, but after 8 years we decided enough was enough an we was going to get a divorce. That's when we found out she was pregnant with Katy, Katelyn wanted to get an abortion but I wouldn't let her. Well anyway she carried Katy to term and then I was a father of an 8 year old and new born." Jack said taking a breathe.

"Four months after Katy was born, I had just come home from a 15 hour shift at work and walked in to hear Katy screaming, I went to see what was wrong and realised that Katelyn was nowhere to be seen. I sorted out Katy then walked into Louise's bedroom to see if she knew were mommy was and she said she left, I asked Lou to keep an eye on Katy and went into the bedroom to see all her stuff had gone." Jack said looking at SG-1.

"What she walked out and abandoned her own children" Daniel said in disbelieve. Jack nodded his head in reply.

"People like that don't deserve to be mothers" Sam said disgusted.

Jack half smiled and carried on. "After that I became a single parent and raised the girls alone then when Louise was 15 and Katy was 7 I meet Sarah, one of the first things I told her was I had two kids, because they were most important things in my life. She under stood the moment she meet the girls she fell in love them, after we got married they started calling her mom. 4 months after we were married she fell pregnant with Charlie, 3 years later Louise left school and went into med school, she had a break from it for a couple of years and during that time went travelling with her friends. She was on her 3 year when she came back by then she was 23, Katy was 15 and Charlie was 8." Jack looked up to see Sam and Daniel take a sharp in take of breath because they knew Charlie was 8 when he accidentally killed himself.

"The day Charlie died Katy was up stairs doing her homework and Louise was in her bedroom studying. One of Charlie's favourite things was to wind Katy up when she was doing homework, that day was no different he went in wind her up and she yelled at him to go and 'leave her the hell alone'. He left, that was when he went into mine and Sarah's room and you know. As I said both the girls were upstairs and Katy's room was dead opposite ours so she was the first one there, deep down inside me and Sarah was just hoping that the gun had gone of and one was hurt, but we had just started up the stairs when I heard Katy scream, it was sound that I never wanted to hear again, as soon as we heard her we knew something was wrong by the time we had got to the room Louise was on the floor trying to stop the bleeding. Katy was crying esoterically we went to hospital that was when Charlie died." Jack finished with tears in his eyes.

"Oh man" Daniel said his heart going out to his friend.

"Jack why didn't you ever tell anyone" Sam said feeling guilty for being angry.

"You are a brave man O'Neill to over come that sort of tragedy" Teal'c said.

"Thanks Teal'c but I wish it ended there. After the funeral I started taking more and more jobs, I hated being at home. When I did come home Katy would tell me that Louise had been acting weird, but I just left it, which was properly one of the biggest mistakes of my life" Jack stopped to compose himself

"Why" Sam asked.

"Because if I spoke my eldest maybe I would noticed that she was depressed like Katy did, but I didn't. I came home for Katy's 16th birthday we were setting up when I noticed that Louise wasn't here I went to go up stairs and get her when Sarah asked me to help her hang a banger, so Katy said she would go up stairs and get her, that's was when I heard her scream. Mine and Sarah's hearts jumped into our throuts the last time she screamed like that was when she found Charlie. We ran up stairs we went to Louise's room to find her sprawled on the bed at first look she looked like she was asleep, then I noticed the bottle in her hand." Jack stopped and broke down in to tears. Sam got up and walked around the table and sat next to him and gave him a hug.

"Oh Jack" Sam said as she hugged him.

"She committed suicide. At her funeral Katy wouldn't go near her grave and she didn't even cry which I found weird because Katy and Louise were always close. But it wasn't me who noticed it, it was Sarah I was to much wrapped in my own depression of losing two children with in a 6 month period. 1 month after Louise funeral was when I took the Abydos mission. Katy knew it was a suicide mission, I was glad when you found us a way back for us Daniel, as I stepped through the gate I made a pledge to myself that I was going to make it up to Katy. As I was finishing up to leave the base, I got a call from Sarah she was at the hospital, ever since Katy found Charlie she had apparently been cutting her self, this time Kate had cut herself to deep and her blood wouldn't clot back up."

"Jesus" Daniel said.

"I rushed straight to the hospital, Katy was awake when I got there but as soon as walked into the room, the way she looked at me I knew our relationship had changed forever. She hardly ever talked to me ever again as soon as she hit 18 she left home" Jack finished his tale he had tears rolling down his checks.

"Oh, Jack." Sam said her heart going out to her CO.

"O'Neill what you have just told us is the proof of your strength, not many people could survive all the adversity you have had." Teal'c said looking straight at Jack.

"So you two haven't talked in 6 years, Jesus" Daniel said shacking his head. "Well maybe you two could work things out now you are stationed at the same post"

"Yea, Daniel has a point" Sam said giving Jacks shoulder a reassuring squeeze.

"Maybe see will forgive me, will find out soon enough" Jack said sighing but deep down with the slight hope that he and his daughter could work things out.
