And now on with our story...:-P

Thanks again to my awesome Beta WENDY!!!!!!!!!! GOLD STAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!

"Liz, I'm scared," Grace said, softly.

"Me too. This is different than last time," Liz continued with a tear rolling down her face. The two girls had told Sam everything they knew; the bio weapon, the enemy. Liz became more guarded with every statement, but she gave more detailed information, while Grace revealed everything and anything she felt could help her mom and her reality.

They now laid together in one of the infirmary beds, too tired to play but too awake to sleep. No one had told them anything since Sam had left with the information hours ago. The only people they had seen were Janet and her nurses, none of which had any information.

"Do you think my mommy's okay?" Grace asked with a sniffle.

"I don't know," Liz answered, pausing before she continued, "I hope so."

"Carter?" the voice whispered. Grace knew that voice, how did she know that voice?

"Sir?" It was her mommy's voice that answered, well this version of mommy and that's when she remembered, 'Sir' was the man that came to the house and took her to the nursery with Liz. What was his name? Jack O'Neill, that's right.

"This them?" Jack asked. Grace opened her eyes a bit to watch the two of them talking. Judging by the clock on the wall and the outfit Sam was wearing, Grace knew that she and Liz had been asleep for a while.

"Yeah," Sam answered, slowly.

"They look like twins," Jack observed.

"They are."

"I thought you said--" he started.

"They are twins, sir, but they're from different realities," Sam replied. They must not have known Grace was awake.

"Hey there," Jack spoke softly. Grace looked confused for a moment and realized that he was talking to her.

"Hello," Grace replied.

"Call me Jack," he said with a smile on his face.

"Yes, sir," she replied. At that moment, Liz started to move around and wake waking up.

"Any news?" Liz asked, the sleep still in her eyes.

"I don't know," Grace said as she looked towards Sam and Jack, but the look on their faces told her that it couldn't be good. "Is my mommy alright?"

Sam and Jack looked at each other for a moment as if debating who should talk, and then Grace knew. "She's dead, isn't she?" Grace asked, tearfully.

"I'm sorry, Grace," Sam said in confirmation.

"What about Jack?" Liz asked, softly, looking at Jack and Sam.

"Sorry," was all Sam could get out this time while shaking her head.

"What about the rest of the SGC and Earth?" Liz asked, hopefully.

"The attack on the SGC was bad, but we were able to help until the Asgard, friends, were able to help. It took time, and you two have been asleep through all of it but your home is alright, Grace, it's badly hurt but Apophis wasn't able to use the weapon, just the big cities are damaged. The Asgard said they are going to help get your Earth," Sam started as she put her hand on Grace's shoulder, "back to normal."

"What will happen to us?" Grace asked, shakily, looking over at Liz who sat quietly without a reality to call her own.

"It's for you two to decide," a new voice said, coming from the door.

"Grandpa Jake?" Grace whispered, softly. "My grandpa Jake?"

"Yes, your Grandpa Jake." He walked straight over to Grace and picked her up, giving her a big hug then remembered the other little girl in the room and picked her up, too. "I may not be your Grandpa Jake, Liz, but I know he would want me to give you this," he told Liz as he gave her a well-needed hug, with just as much love as he did Grace. With both girls now in his arms, he took a seat on the bed they had just been sleeping in.

"I have 3 options for you. I want you to listen to each of them carefully before you decide, and I want you to talk this out together before you make your final decision. Also, you two can choose different choices or you can pick the same, go with what you feel is right," Jacob paused before continuing.

"The first option is to go back and live on Earth with Barbara, and I will visit like I always have." Seeing Grace's face light up, Jacob quickly continued, "It won't be easy, Earth was hit hard, especially Colorado Springs. There won't be power and running water for a while, but I know how much you love Barbara, Grace, and she said she would love to have you." As he finished, Jacob thought about how relieved Barbara was when she found out the little girl was alive. Having no children of her own, she had always considered Grace her own daughter. "Liz this option is for you too, I know she's not your Barbara but she said she would love to have you."

"Option 2 is to live with me," Grace's eyes lit up again at the thought, while Liz looked shocked. "Now, Grace, I have to tell you I don't live on Earth." Grace looked confused.

"Where do you live?" Grace questioned.

"I live on another planet, and I have to tell you Grace, where I live isn't made for little girls. I would do everything to make sure you are safe, but I can't control everything, as seen by the events that just happened on Earth, but I would love to have you or Liz there with me." Jacob paused for a moment before he continued with the last option.

"Finally, you can stay here in this reality, with this Sam," Jacob started as he pointed towards Sam, who gave a nervous smile. "This Earth won't have the same attack that you both have been through." Turning to Liz, he directed the next part just to her, "They destroyed the ship that delivered the bio weapon, and Apophis is dead here." Then he turned towards Grace and continued, "Since the ships that attacked our Earth and Apophis are dead, you don't have to worry about something like that happening here. This Sam would love to have you two, but obviously it will be different, people you know will not know you, but you will be safe." Jacob finished, and he could see the little girls started to think.

"Now we are going to leave you two so you can think about it and talk it out. Mrs. Jefferson is going to talk with you both to help you make your decision," Jacob said as he pointed to the lady standing confidently in the doorway to the room.

"We will be right outside the door when you're ready," Jacob finished and placed both of them back on the bed and gave them a quick kiss on the forehead. He walked out of the infirmary with Sam and Jack, while Mrs. Jefferson walked up to the two little girls and introduced herself.

"Which do you think they'll choose," Sam asked, pausing over his name before adding, "Jacob?"

"I honestly don't know about Liz, but I have an idea of what Grace will pick," he said as he took a seat, not saying anything more.
