Ali looked to the doorway as her aunt abruptly entered the living room, pulling Jack in with her. Alison looked over the tall man with her brow raised in a very Teal'c-ish fashion. This strange figure had an almost dangerous air about him. Alison realized that this man was still holding on to her aunts hand, and Sam was standing very close to him, closer than she had ever seen her stand next to her dad's friend Pete. Ali involuntarily shivered. Detective Shanahan had always given her the creeps.
"Jack? I thought you weren't arriving till tomorrow? Why the sudden change of plans?" Daniel asked. Ali stared at Jack a little longer. 'Oh my god, that's the colonel O'Neill aunt Sam was always talking about. No wonder she always got dreamy eyed whenever his name entered a conversation.' Alison smirked.
"Oh, well Hammond showed up early and there were no…meteor sightings, so I figured I could come by earlier." Jack shrugged as he wrapped his arm around Sam's shoulders. Sam smiled at the gesture and introduced Jack to the girls.
"Jack, this is Alison, Alison, this is my…"Sam looked at Jack, this was something that they hadn't discussed.
"Fiancé " Sam's eye's grew wide, and Jack just smiled.
"Oh, did I forget to mention that part…hmm." Jack slipped his hand in his pocket and pulled out a beautiful Claddagh knot ring and placed it on the ring finger of her left hand. Sam was speechless, inside the heart was a gorgeous sapphire, and the crown had three small rubies set at the points. Sam just stared at it for a moment, then turned back to Ali.
"Ali, I'd like you to meet my fiancé, Brigadier General Jack O'Neill." Alison smiled at Jack.
"Hello sir."
"Ack! Please, don't call me sir, I hate that, I get enough of it at work. Call me Jack."
"Okay, Jack." Alison turned back to Daniel and started to talk to him again. Jack just stared at her wide eyed, he definitely wasn't expecting her to be speaking Russian. 'Wow, she's just like Sam. Smart beyond belief.' Just then, Jack felt a soft warm body clung to his leg. Jack looked down and saw Jenna wrapped around his leg.
"Well hello little one." Jack bent down and picked Jenna up. "And who are you?"
"Jennafer Samantha Carter" Jenna thrust a tiny hand at Jack. Jack smiled and put two fingers in the small girls hand and shook it.
"Well, Jennafer Samantha Carter, it's a pleasure to meet you, I'm Jonathan Aedan O'Neill, but people call me Jack. Do you have a nick name?"
Jenna looked at him with confusion.
"My names not Nick, it's Jenna." Jenna's response made everyone laugh, except Teal'c, who was almost as confused as Jenna.
"I know that, I was asking if people called you by any other names."
"Oh, yeah, they call me Jenna. I like you, you're nice. Sam, can we keep him?" Sam smiled at her niece.
"I'm planning on it."
"Whoo hoo!" Jenna exclaimed as she wrapped her short arms around Jack's neck and gave him a kiss on his cheek. Jack was taken aback, but he just smiled and returned the kiss. Then Jenna started to wiggle and squirm, obviously wanting to get down. Jack bent down far enough for the little girl's feet to reach the floor. Jenna went back over to Teal'c and began to teach him more tricks with the string. After a few moments of just standing within the arms of her lover, Sam's phone rang.
"Colonel Carter speaking…Yes...When…Alright, I'll be there in a few minutes…Goodbye." Sam hung up her phone and pulled Jack out of the living room and into the hall way. Alison noticed this and excused herself from her conversation with Daniel.
"Aunt Sam, where are you going?"
"We're going to the hospital, there's some forms we need to fill out, then we're bringing your brother home." Sam said, her eyes starting to mist.
"May I come with?" Alison asked softly.
"Are you sure? You don't have to."
"Yeah, I do, I know for a fact the he hasn't been named, I want him to have his name on the birth certificate before he comes home. Please Sam?" Sam walked over to her niece and wrapped her arms around her.
"Yeah, come on sweetie."
Jack walked over to the two women.
Sam I'm gonna go tell the boys where we're going. My truck is parked out front, I'll be there in a minute. " Sam simply nodded her head and walked toward the door, still holding Alison to her chest. Jack walked back into the living room and found Daniel looking at the pictures on the shelf.
"Daniel, me and Sam are going to the hospital to get the baby and sign the papers for transferring her brother and sister to the funeral home for their cremation."
"Oh, okay. I'll tell Teal'c as soon as we put Jenna down for a nap."
"Alright. Bye Daniel."
"Oh, and Jack." Jack turned around with a questioning look on his face. "Nice job with the ring, it's Sam's favorite design." Jack smiled and turned to walk out, when he looked back at Daniel once he reached the doorway.
"I know." Then he walked out to the car to drive the girls to he hospital. After Sam got done putting the car seat into the backseat of the truck, the three of them headed out.
