Chapter 1
"Daddy can I have a friend home tomorrow for my party?" Liztezry O'Neill aka Lizzy asked looking up to her adopted father, Jack O'Neill smiled down opening the door on his truck so she could get in.
"Sure who is it?" He asked picking her up and placing her into the back seat of the truck.
"Jake" Lizzy replied shutting the door, missing her dad's reaction his mouth opened, Lizzy with a boy. He might have to get Teal'c to sound him out, she was only 7! He thought she'd be 13 at the youngest 30 if he had his way. He knew he was overprotective of her they all were having found her on a Gould occupied world when she was 4, she was given to him by her mother as she sacrificed herself to save Lizzy and SG1. Jack had promised to keep her safe and had retired to keep that promise.
"He is my bestest friend in the whole wide galaxy" Lizzy told him proudly, Jack smiled glad she had made a friend having found it hard to adapt to earth life after living in a world enslaved by the Gould having her innocence destroyed after watching her parents die then coming to earth where most children her age had no worries.
"Well if he is your bestest friend" Jack mocked with a smile while Lizzy nodded not getting the joke,
"Can we have cake, Jake said his daddy won't let him have cake, so we got to" Lizzy informed him having inherited Jack's love for the desert having first tasted it within hours of arriving on earth.
"Of course no party is complete without it" Jack said sounding mock shocked that she would even think they could have a party without it.
"Good, and Uncle Daniel and Uncle Teal'c and Auntie Janet and Grandpa George and Cassie and Dominic and baby Sha're" Lizzy listed, Jack nodded wishing that list included Auntie or mummy Sam but Sam had left over 8 years ago without talking to anyone after just handing in her resignation and leaving, they had searched high and low to find she had married Pete and had moved on. The betrayal had hurt them all bringing them closer as a family.
"Well Danny, Janet and Sha're may only stay for a little bit" Jack reminded her, looking forward to seeing his young niece, glad his 2 friends had united in their grief of Sam, to have a loving relationship and a beautiful baby girl named after Daniel's late wife, who had Janet's looks but Daniels love of rocks already.
"I know, and Teal'c has to finish up on base" she recited, Jack nodded glad he had retired and no longer had to worry about balanced his time on base with his personal life now it was all about Lizzy with a little advising and training in between.
"Jake says he can't wait to come if his dad says it ok" Lizzy said letting slip she'd already invited him, Jack let it go this time
"Does he want me to drop him home?"
"I dunno I'll ask him tomorrow" Lizzy said
"Ok kiddo" Jack pulled up outside his house helping her out of his large Ford truck
"Got homework?" he asked
"Yeh" Lizzy grumbled, looking disheartened, he covered his laugh he felt the same about reports.
"Need a hand?" he offered
"Ok dad" She said as they settled down to do the dreaded maths homework
