Thanks again to Wendy the super Beta! I know I told someone that Liz and Grace meeting was soon...yeah I was off...forgive me:-D

Read and review; feed me please:-D Good, bad, I don't care:-P

Carter had followed Janet back to her office, taking a seat across from her friend. They had just finished working on the first batch of their antidote, they were optimistically confident that it would pass the test. Dr. Warner had been a big help, and they were able to finish the first trial well before they had originally intended. This gave Carter some free time before she met her daughter at lunchtime.

Janet was already sorting through her files on her desk, without looking up she started to speak, "Sam, something on your mind?"

"Hmmm?" Carter replied, breaking her out of her thoughts.

"Not that I don't want you here, its just that I have work to do and you have a daughter to see."

"I need to," Carter started as she motioned around her, namely towards the lone occupant in the infirmary. "She answered questions that I always had, but now that I know the answer," she paused for a moment, "I don't know."

"What do you want?" Janet asked as she looked over at her troubled friend.

"I really don't know," Carter started. "It was easier to be mad at myself for letting myself get into that situation. It's not something I am proud of but for one night I threw caution out the window and the result was not what I expected, but I would never change it for the world. Not knowing who the father was has always bothered me because was the man really as wonderful as I remembered? Now knowing that 'My Colonel' has been my CO for the past 4 years." Carter stopped, and just when Janet was going to speak, Carter started to talk again.

"You know what's funny is I went to that inaugural ball with Jonas. He had asked me a month before to go with him, and even after breaking off the engagement I told him I would still go. One ball, I told him. Of course it was the same ball my father wanted me to attend, so I was stuck going anyway; I just figured I would have a better time with Jonas, faults and all, than with my father." Carter paused to shrug. "Looking back I don't know if my dad would have been a better date or not, considering Jonas left me in the beginning to go try to schmooze with the higher ups." Janet gave her hand a squeeze.

"Well, Sam, you couldn't have picked a better man to sweep you off your feet."

"Tell me about it," Carter muttered with a blush before burying her head in her hands.

"Just promise me that you will talk to him about it sooner rather than later?" Janet said, giving Carter's hand another reassuring squeeze. The moment was broken when the sound of alarms rang in the infirmary. Janet let go and ran towards the patient; along with a flock of nurses to settle the patient back down while Carter looked on. Once the commotion wore down, Janet walked back to Carter. "She's not doing well, Sam. She had a lot more internal injuries that we originally thought."

"Well is she going to be alright?"

"At the moment, I don't know." Carter just nodded her head in understanding at Janet's statement. "I do know that little girl shouldn't be around places like this. Why don't you and Liz head home now? I'm sure Grace would love to see you early for once. Go, there is nothing you can do till the tests are done." Carter nodded her head in agreement, and went to pick up the little girl from Daniel, forever grateful that he had taken her from the infirmary earlier to 'play'.

"Call me when the results from the test are ready." Carter called to Janet over her shoulder as she started to make her way towards Daniel's office. She never made it because an announcement came over the loud speaker for SG1 to report to the Briefing Room. "Well. There goes any chance of being early."

Last to arrive, she was greeted by her father.

"Dad, I take it you got General Hammonds message?" Carter said as she went to hug her father.

"I did. George was just filling me in on all the fine details on the other Major Carter." Jacob said.

"Major O'Neill." Carter corrected. Her father raised a questioning brow. "She said that she hasn't been a Carter in years," Sam added.

"Ah. Well I did have the pleasure of meeting her daughter. She corrected me when I called her Grace." Jacob said, as he pointed towards the end of the briefing room table where Liz was drawing on some paper next to Teal'c.

Hammond took his seat and everyone followed suit.

"Jacob." Hammond said as he looked towards his long time friend.

Clearing his throat, Jacob started, "I was actually on my way here when I had received your message. We have just started receiving reports from within Apophis' ranks and they aren't good. It looks like he is planning an attack with his new state-of-the-art battleship soon."

"Do you have any more information?" Daniel asked.

Shaking his head, Jacob answered, "Sorry, that's all we know as of right now."

"Teal'c, is there anyway you can contact Bra'tac to see what he knows?" Hammond asked, as he looked down towards the end of the table where Teal'c was sitting.

"I will contact him immediately." Teal'c said, evenly.

"Let's hope this is not like the ship that Apophis used in Major O'Neill's reality. Regardless, I want the antidote finished and given to the CDC as soon as possible. Let's hope we don't have to use it. Also, I want the base prepared and I will contact the President to tell him he should be prepared." Everyone nodded their heads in agreement. "Dismissed."

As everyone made their way to the door, Jacob caught Sam's arm before she could make her way to Liz. "Sam, how are you doing?" He whispered to her questioningly.

"I'm doing fine, dad." Carter gave in her standard 'fine' tone.

Jacob wore a skeptical look. "Really, dad, right now I am worried about the antidote and the possible invasion. At the moment I can't really worry about my life turning upside down. I need to head home and see Grace because who knows when I will see her again with all that is going on. Are you coming?" Carter asked.

"No, I have to head back and report. Hopefully I will be back in a few days. Tell Grace I love her, and will see her soon." With that he hugged Carter and kissed her on the forehead. "Bye, Sammie." Sam cringed at the name but smiled when she saw her father's face; he had done it on purpose.

"Bye, dad." She said, as he walked down to the control room, to talk to the Sergeant about a trip back to the Tok'ra's current headquarters.

"Hey, Carter?" Carter turned around to see Jack standing alone just behind Liz's chair. He looked nervous with his hands shoved as deeply into his pockets as he could manage, while rocking on his heals like a child. "Got a minute?"

So much for not thinking of her personal life.
