Author's Note: Hubbie went out and that gave me time to get this ready. Hope you guys enjoy this chapter. There is only three more after this one. My plan is to post the two stories I have done before I leave for my holiday at the end of July. That might mean multiple chapters some days. I hope to let you know what is happening before the end of this story.

So far the Baby Mine, Ours! fic is winning but I promise I will post Who Am I, Who Are You? as before the end of July.

When he was satisfied that Morgan was asleep, Charlie slipped out of the room closing the door. Moving down the hall he picked up the phone and dialed Cassie's number.

The phone rang and rang and it seemed like no one was going to answer. Charlie was about to hang up when an out of breath voice said, "Hello?"

At the sound of Janet's voice Charlie was unsure what to say. Swallowing he said, "Uh, can I talk to Cassie?"

Janet smiled, the two of them, were so cute. "Yep she's right here." Janet muffled the receiver, "Cas, Charlie is on the phone."

Then Cassie yelled back, "I got it mom. You can hang up now."

There was silence as they waited for the click of Janet hanging up the phone and it continued after until Cassie asked, "Charlie are you still there?"

"Yes, ah Cassie," he rubbed the back of his neck, "I was wondering if you wanted to go to the Prom with me? I know that I should do something big and cool, but that is not me."

Cassie closed her eyes, she'd been hoping this would happen. She drew a deep breath, "Yes, when will you pick me up?"

"Uh five or so, we'll go out to eat before the dance. I'll make a reservation at O'Malley's."

A smile crossed Cassie's features, "That sounds perfect. I have to go now. See you tomorrow." she said trying to contain the excitement in her voice.

"Bye then." Charlie said, "See you tomorrow."

"Bye," and then she hung up the phone.

Cassie hung up the phone and yelled, "Mom, we need to go to buy me a dress. Charlie just invited me to the Prom. I need to go and get it tonight."

Janet came down the hallway drying her hands, "What happened? I'm in the middle of cleaning the kitchen."

Sighing in exasperation Cassie said, "Mom, I have to do this now. If I wait any longer the other girls will get the dress I want. The store closes in a little while and we need to get going."

Looking at her watch, Janet shook her head, "Cassie we don't have enough time to pick out a dress. We will go tomorrow after school."

"Moo-om" said Cassie as she rolled her eyes, "I have a dress. I picked it out when I went shopping last week with Jenny. We only have to go and pick it up." she grabbed her mother's hand and pulled, "Come on."

Janet managed to grab her keys and purse as Cassie tugged her out the door.

Hours later they returned with Cassie's dress and Janet was exhausted. They had found the dress easily enough but Cassie wanted shoes and a purse to go with it. So that meant they spent the last few hours looking for what Cassie wanted.

The day of the Prom Cassie came home at lunch time and began to get ready. Janet had taken the day off of work and so she was there to help. Then, by four-thirty, she had her hair done and she was pacing her bedroom.

Promptly at five Charlie arrived at Cassie's house driving Sam's car. He knocked and Janet answered it. She smiled at the sight of Charlie dressed in a rented tux with a corsage box in his hands. He shuffled his feet nervously. "Evening Janet. How are you tonight?"

"I'm good Charlie. Let me get Cassie for you." she closed the door and headed half way up the stairs. "Cassie, Charlie's here."

"I'll be done in a minute." Cassie called as she checked herself in the mirror one last time before heading downstairs.

Janet watched Cassie come down the stairs and took some photographs. Then she forced the two of them to pose for more pictures together. The two young people groaned, but Janet wouldn't give up. "I have to take these or Sam and Jack will never forgive me."

The two people sighed and Charlie answered, "Fine then. Take your pictures, but we have to go soon or we will loose the reservation."

Janet laughed, "I know, I know. Just a few more. Charlie, I want to get one of you putting on the corsage." Charlie knew that she would not give up until she got her pictures.

He opened the package and slid the flowers onto Cassie's wrist as the camera flashed again.

Even cooperating, they still weren't able to leave for another fifteen minutes. Arm in arm they left the house and walked down to the car. Charlie opened the door for her helping her inside the car.

The drive to the restaurant was quiet because neither of them really knew what to say. The meal and the dance rushed by them and the end of the night came too quickly.

Charlie drove her home. Crossing to the far side of the car, he opened the door of Sam's car. Charlie helped her out of the car, then unsure what to do he linked his fingers through Cassie's and led her up to the porch.

The two of them stepped up to the door both of them feeling very awkward. Cassie finally said, "Thank you for the nice night. I'll remember it always." her voice was sad and tears spilled over her lashes.

"Cas," Charlie stepped forward as he wished things could be different. Gently he took her face between his hands, "I'm so sorry." and then he brought her lips to meet his.

Then it was over and both stepped back. "Goodbye Charlie." more tears spilled over her eyes. "I hope you find her." and then she was gone.

Charlie stood there wondering how she had known before he did.

Now all that remained was telling his parents.

Charlie closed the door quietly hoping that his parents would be asleep and not waiting up for him. He wanted a little bit of time to think about his decision and how to tell them. They weren't going to like it, but he hoped they would understand and accept it.

He headed down the hall to his room when he heard his father call out, "Charlie, is that you? Come in here and tell us about the dance."

Looking longingly at his room for a moment, Charlie turned and headed into the family room wondering how to tell them that he wanted to go home, back to his Universe.

This was not his life and when he sat across the table from Cassie tonight, it wasn't the same. There were so many times that he want to tell her something only to realize that he would have to explain it, that this Cassie had not been his accomplice. He could never replace the girl he loved with this Cassie, it wasn't fair to her or him. He needed to go back and see if there was still a chance for him and Cas.

Sighing, he watched Sam and Jack, they may not have been his real parents but they had given up so much to give him and Morgan a home. They had gained a lot, but that was not their reason, instead it was an added bonus to the situation.

They waited for him expectantly and he hated to disappoint them. He tried to think of some words that would soften the blow and not break their hearts.

Sam and Jack lay cuddled together on the couch. Jack's hand still rested on Sam's slightly rounded stomach where their child grew.

Once more Charlie hesitated for a moment, he and Morgan had been here only a few months but these two people had come to mean as much to him as his Sam and Jack.

There were days when he almost forgot they weren't his real parents, but these two hadn't got married just so that they could be in the Stargate program and not lose Charlie. In some ways these two had been through much more horrific things but now they were together and strong. If he left them they would be alright.

"Charlie?" he looked up and met Sam's eyes, "Are you okay? Did something happen?" now he could see that she was worried.

He shook his head, "Mom, Dad, I have something to tell you?"

"What is it son, you're not in trouble are you?" Jack asked as worry creased his features as well.

Now that he had both of their undivided attention he said, "I'm not doing this to hurt you or anything, but I want to go home." he stopped and took a deep breath, "I have to go home. I can't stay here because I don't belong here. I don't even know if I can go home, but I need to try. There might be a second mirror somewhere in my universe, too." he dropped onto the couch beside them.

"The more I stay here the more I see how different I am. I want my life back, some of the people I knew may have been evacuated to the Alpha Site, my Cas might have been one of them. It might be all gone but I have to know for sure."

Sam wrapped her arms around him, "Are you sure about this? What about Morgan, what kind of life will she have there?"

"I was hoping to leave her here for now. Once things are settled I will come back for her. Dr. Carter told me how to find my universe again. She gave me a device to help me find it again. It's set to some readings that are specific to my universe. I have it in my stuff. Can you two help me?"

Jack and Sam exchanged looks, "This could be very dangerous. You need to be sure about all of this. Once you're there it may not be very easy to come back again." Jack said and Sam squeezed Charlie's hand.

"I know, but it is something that I need to do. I need to see for myself that there is nothing there for me. No one knows what happened to me so they can't come to find me, I need to find them. Please don't say no!" he begged them.

Sam sighed at the look of determination on the teenager's face and she knew that she couldn't deny him. If they did, Charlie would try to do it alone and that would be ten times more dangerous than if they helped him.

With her other hand she grabbed onto Jack's and once again they shared a look. Again it was Jack who spoke, "Okay son, you can do this but I'm coming, too. Also we have to get permission from the right people."

He looked straight at Charlie to let the boy know that this might be out of his hands, "The mirror is already at the SGC. We stole it back from the NID with all their other treasures. So give me a few days to get this set up and we'll go from there."

Tears filled his eyes but for once Charlie didn't try to hide them. He launched himself into Jack's arms, "Thank you for understanding what I needed to do."

Jack hesitated for a moment and hugged the boy back with unashamed tears in his own eyes. Struggling for control, he pulled back, "Time for bed Charlie, it's late. You can tell us about your date tomorrow."

The boy nodded and hugged Sam, "Thank you."

Sam held him tight for a moment longer and then let him go, "'Night Charlie, we love you. See you in the morning."

The boy nodded and headed out of the room. He was almost out the door when he turned back to the two adults still sitting on the couch, "I love you, too, Mom and Dad." and then he disappeared down the hall.

Thank you. More soon. By the way I have never been to a prom so I didn't try to describe what it would be like. I was a borring teenager I admit it. ~Kelleth~
