Chapter 5
Over the next month, Pete took Sam out to dinner three times and in those three times he tried to put the powder into her drinks only to have Jon swap drinks around so he ended up drinking it.
During the Osiris mission Jon made sure Pete had a flat tyre so he couldn't follow them on the stake out which pleased him. He watched them take Osiris down and knew that Sam was safe and Pete hadn't seen what was going on.
Jon knew that he had to save Janet's life next, so he went into outer space and went back in time to when Ra ruled Egypt. He flew down there, dialled the address to the planet where SG13 was going to go, then flew through the gate.
Then he flew forward in time to the day in question. He landed the ship, got off it and walked around till he saw the probe. Then he fired a laser weapon at it and it was destroyed, then he zatted it three times.
Next he ran over to where SG 13 was. He saw them heading toward him, then he fired a zat twice only, to miss them. When they fired back, he quickly moved to another spot and did the same thing.
He saw them still firing their weapons so he zatted one of them then they were able to pick him up and run to the gate. They dialled Earth and ran back through and the gate shut down. He was pleased that he had saved their lives and Janet's.
Then he heard the ships, so he ran back to his ship and got in. He started it up and left when he saw them. He went back in time like before and went through the gate back to Earth then went forward in time, arriving two days later than when he left.
He went to Janet's house to see if his plan had worked. He saw Janet leaving for work that morning. He was pleased that she was still alive and Cassie hadn't lost a second mother.
His next plan was to help Jack and Sam get married and to take care of Pete Shanahan and Senator Kinsey. Jon knew that SG1 had put money together to buy a lotto ticket once a week, so he flew forward four days in time to see the lotto results. It showed that no one had won the thirty nine million dollars.
He smiled and got the lotto numbers then went back four days and bought a lotto ticket. Then he went around to Jack's house where he knew Jack was.
He saw the sliding door open, so he cloaked himself and walked inside to see where Jack was. He smiled when he could hear him and Sam in the bedroom, so he walked down so he could see what they were doing. They were talking about what furniture to keep and what to get rid of.
He watched them for a minute then walked back down to the kitchen. He got Jack's wallet out and opened it up and then he uncloaked himself so he could swap the lotto tickets then he put Jack's wallet back.
Then he cloaked himself again and walked out the back door then down to the ship. Then he left to see what Pete had been up to.
When Jack and Sam were together, they were either at his place or hers talking about wedding plans and getting suits and bride's maid dresses sorted out. They talked about everything including their new home. They were looking at different homes since they found out how much they had won and had split it up four ways.
One night Sam was at Jack's place, he knew something was wrong so he decided to ask her.
"Sam what's wrong?" she looked at him.
"Our wedding."
"Why, are you having second thoughts?"
"No, but it won't be the same without dad walking me down the aisle."
"I know. Ever since what happened at the alpha site, there's been a strain on the alliance. If I knew where they were Sam, I could have gotten a message to Jacob."
"I know Jack."
"Come here!" Sam went into his arms.
"If I knew a way to get a message to Jacob I would, both you and I know that."
"I know Jack, I know."
They talked about what sort of cake they would like and where they would like to have their wedding night.
Jon had been keeping an eye on Pete and since he was at work and he had overheard what Sam said to Jack about Jacob, he decided to look for the Tok'ra himself. He went back in time and through the gate to an address he remembered reading about where Jacob had been.
When he got there, he went forward in time to the day before Jack and Sam got married. There were Tok'ra about and he saw Jacob sitting alone next to a stream, so he landed the ship and opened the back door. He saw Jacob look around and frown, so Jon stepped forward off the ship. Jacob stood up in shock when Jon appeared.
"Who are you?"
"Hi Jacob, long time no hear." Jacob frowned.
"Who are you?"
"You don't recognise me?" He put his hands in his pocket and rocked back and forth while looking at him.
"No!"
"For crying out loud, you've seen photos of me when I was a teenager, Jacob!" Jacob raised both eyebrows then his eyes widened and so did his mouth.
"Jack!"
"Well yeah, I go by the name Jon, I'm the clone."
"Clone?" he frowned.
"Yeah, look, I'm here to let you know, Carter is getting married tomorrow." Jacob sat down again in shock.
"Who is she marrying?"
"Me, well Jack. Here let me show you something."
"Ok." Jacob stood up and followed Jon onto the ship.
"Is this a new Earth ship?"
"Nope, this is an ancient time ship, and only one with the ancient gene can make it work."
"Ok."
They sat down and Jon brought up the record of Jack and Sam. He showed Jacob about them talking about him and how Sam wanted him there for her wedding. When it finished, Jon looked over at him.
"Did Jack retire?"
"He will in few hours after he receives the second download."
"What do you mean?"
"Anubis is on his way to earth with all of his ships. He thinks that Atlantis is on Earth!" Jacob was shocked.
"Oh my god, are they evacuating every one?"
"They won't be able to. George won't be there, someone else is taking his place while he is in Washington and that's not all, Kinsey is going to be there."
"You're joking, who's going to be in change?"
"Id rather not say."
"Why not?"
"Jacob… I'm from the future!"
"You're joking!"
"No, look, Sam will want you to be there tomorrow to walk her down the aisle."
"How am I going to get there? They won't let me through the gate."
"Then leave, return back to Earth."
"I'm trying to mend fences."
"Jacob, trust me on this, Carter and Daniel can help you with your latest project."
"How did you know?" Jon looked at him.
"Oh, the future."
"Yes! Look, Sam will need you now more than ever before."
"I don't know, how do I know you're telling the truth?"
"Well, I know as much as Jack, so ask me any question you want to."
"Ok, how did I meet Jack?"
"Jack and Carter were receiving their air medals on Thursday, September the nineteenth, you really hurt Carter that day. I just wanted to find you and punch your lights out but after she told me that you had cancer, I knew she was going through enough without my getting court-martialled." He nodded.
"Why did you come back into the past anyway?"
"To make Sam's wish come true and that is all."
"What was the wish?"
"To have a family, and marry her true love."
"Meaning?"
"Carter marries Mark's friend Pete Shanahan who is a cop and who works for the Trust. After they got married he tied her up and well, all I'm saying is that it's taken Carter three months to get over what happened to her when I saw her and spoke to her. She was still on medical leave and staying with Jack." Jacob thought about what Jon had just said.
"She can't have a child, that was her wish," Jon nodded.
"Was I there?" Jon looked down then back up at him.
"No!"
"Was I at the wedding?"
"George walked Carter down the aisle." Jacob looked at him and he spoke to Selmac.
"Something happens to Selmac and me, that is why you want me back on Earth, what is it?"
"If you stay here you will die. Somehow Selmac becomes sick and she died and the poison enters into your blood stream and you died as well. You told Jack that it was old age. He knew that there was more going on and you didn't say what really happened before you died."
"So you're giving us a choice?"
"Yes, and the ball is in your court."
"Thanks, I better head back."
"Ok." Jacob stood up and walked to the end of the ship and turned around.
"The project I'm working on what can you tell me about it?"
"The ancients built it and it's a key to destroying the galaxy's worse enemy and, timing is important Jacob!" He nodded then he turned around and walked off the ship.
He heard it start up and leave. He walked back to the rings and ringed down to where his project was. He thought about what Jon had said and he knew that it was the ancients who built the project and both he and Selmac knew that the writing was in ancient. He knew that Daniel could translate it so he decided to go to the council and ask them if he could go to Earth and ask for Daniel's help.
When he saw them and asked them they said no so he walked out and returned back to his project. Both he and Selmac decided to leave and go to Earth and ask for Daniel's help and asylum, which he knew he would get if it was to save their lives.
So he packed up everything he had and went down to his room and packed all his belongings and walked out. He made sure he didn't bump into anyone when he left.
When he got to the gate, he uncovered the GDO and he quickly dialled Earth. When the wormhole was formed, he sent the code and quickly put it back.
Then he walked up the steps and looked around one last time before walking through the gate, not knowing that Jon was watching, Then it shut down. Jon knew that Jacob and Selmac had made the right choice.
Jon went back in time and then he returned to Earth then went forward in time till it was a week before the wedding. He made up a wedding invitation and made colour copies of it. Then he thought of everyone from the SGC that SG1 had known over the years and put his or her names down.
Then he went back in time a month and he landed the ship in a safe spot. He cloaked himself before leaving and heading to the emergency exit. He climbed down the ladder till he reached level twenty. Since it was in the middle of the night, he walked down to Hammond's office and looked for next month's roster.
He got out George's laptop and brought up the roster, then he changed it so that there was a skeleton crew over the weekend and all teams were back on Earth.
Once done, he took the laptop out to where the printer was and connected it up and printed out the roster. When finished he put everything back the way it was then he left and headed back to the ship.
Once aboard, he took off and went forward a week in time. Since he knew where the wedding was being held and what caterers they wanted if it was a big wedding, he went to Jack's place and left a note for him and the invitations.
Then he left and went forward in time till it was the day before the wedding. He landed the ship and was able to leave and work his way into the SGC and down to the gate room just in time to see the gate start spinning.
When the wormhole was formed and the iris closed he waited, then the iris opened and Jacob stepped onto the ramp and the gate shut down. He walked down the ramp just as Hammond walked into the gate room.
"Jacob, this is a surprise. Is everything alright with the Tok'ra?"
"Yes and no. I need Daniel's help with some ancient translating and I also request asylum."
"Jacob?" George looked at his old friend.
"You're not going to believe who came and spoke to me an hour ago."
"Who?"
"Me!" they looked around.
"Jon!"
"Yep, let's head up to your office George."
"Ok, Jacob."
They walked up to his office and closed the door and Jon uncloaked himself.
"I can't stay long, but George, I'll let you tell Jacob here everything. I'd better go. Shanahan's having another meeting soon, so see you tomorrow."
"Ok Jon." Then he cloaked himself and walked out the door.
George and Jacob spoke for the next three hours before SG1 was due to leave with SG5 and seven. George walked down to the control room while Jacob walked to the briefing room window and looked down just as Sam walked into the gate room with Jack next to her. He could see that they were both smiling and Jack said something to her, which made her laugh.
He could tell she was happy and that Jack had made her happy. When the wormhole was formed, the malp went through first then the three teams. When the gate closed down, he stayed there and watched and was lost in thought till Hammond walked into the briefing room and over to the window.
"Sam looks Happy."
"We both know that her team keeps each other happy."
"I know," then he turned to look at his old friend.
"Tell me about this Pete Shanahan!" George looked at Jacob and told him what he knew about Pete and the Trust.
"So the President and the Chief of Staff still want Sam to see this guy, and pretend everything is ok?"
"Yes!" Jacob shook his head.
"Are my clothes still here?"
"Sam has all your clothes at her place; we can give you a spare pair of BDU till you get there."
"Thanks." They turned and walked out of the briefing room. George got Walter to get Jacob some BDU clothing.
"Thanks George, I'll use Daniel's lab since that is where all his books are."
"Sure, I'll let you know when they return."
"Thanks!"
Then he walked down to Daniel's lab. When he walked in, he put his bags down and he got out the laptop that Sam had given to him over three years ago. It had a solar panel so that the batteries could recharge.
He started it up and opened the files to where his project was. Then he turned Daniel's computer on and went to an ancient translating file. When he opened it up, there were over three hundred more files, so he went to make a start on them till they returned since he didn't know how long it would be before they returned.
Jacob was working for ten minutes when an airman walked into the room with BDU clothing for Jacob. He thanked and dismissed the airman before carrying on for the next hour before he decided to go and have a hot shower and get something to eat before returning back to his work.
