Chapter 7
Janet had just driven out seeing that Daniel and Jack were following she drove home. Arriving Jack dropped Daniel off before going to school to pick Lizzy up. Janet sat with Sha're talking to Cassie both her and Daniel agreeing not to say anything until Jack got back. Cassie left to go and get ready to go out with Dominic. Janet used to the time to debate whether to tell them it was Sam or not, by the sounds of it they would find out anyway. As Jack returned Lizzy being to Jack's to be looked after by Teal'c so she could do homework as Janet began.
"I spoke to Jake's mum she confirmed she is the victim of domestic violence. I managed to convince her to leave with my help. I have to request her medical files from the various hospitals already I have pictures of current bruises and her testimony. All we need to find out if this is enough her husband is high up in the police force I'm afraid that if we don't have enough he could get custody of Jake" Janet said.
"I know a military lawyer we could get to look over the evidence" Jack offered. Janet nodded; Jack got the phone calling his friend
"Mac I need a favour, if I tell you what we got can you tell me if we have enough to make a case" he asked the answer was affirmative as Jack looked at Janet
"Can you email the pictures" he asked Janet nodded going to the computer Daniel followed wincing at the pictures that were appearing on screen. Luckily for Janet none of them were of the face as Pete never hit her there, so they didn't realise it was Sam. She sent the e-mail a few minutes later Jack nodded confirming Mac had received it. After a few more exchanges Jack thanked her.
"Mac thinks we have enough especially if we can get a testimony of Lizzy and Jake" Jack said not sounding happy that Lizzy had to be involved. Janet nodded if they had enough there was no point Sam staying
"I'll pop over tomorrow get Sam to move out" Janet said absently, both Daniel and Jack looked at her in shock and horror. Neither had realised that it was their Sam.
"Sam" Jack choked out, Janet nodded there was no point even trying to hide it now she might as well give Sam's side of the story.
"She was pregnant with Jake which is why she left the SGC, Pete was already emotionally manipulating her by then, he hit her just after she gave birth blaming it on stress. Sam made him go to see a councillor he went but kept hitting convincing her that if she left he would get custody and Sam believed him." Janet explained. They both nodded. Jack spoke
"Hey you guys have a spare room, if Teal'c moves into it then Sam and Jake can each have there own room" he planned they looked at each other nodding
"That's fine by us" Janet confirmed, Jack nodded
"I'll talk to Teal'c we need to get Sam out of there soon" Jack said an urgency in his voice, he'd seen the pictures of Sam and hadn't liked it but he liked it even less knowing it was Sam. Jack stood up
"I better go I'll need to talk to Teal'c" he said aware he might have to physically restrain Teal'c to stop him going and beating Pete to a pulp made harder by the fact Jack wanted nothing more than to join him.
"Ok I'll come round and help him pack, later" Daniel promised Jack nodded.
Going back to his house he told Teal'c, persuading him that 15 hours and Sam would be safe, Teal'c agreed reluctantly. Lizzy hugged him
"Hey kiddo, take a seat" Jack said pulling her onto his lap. Lizzy snuggled into his grasp.
"How would you feel if Jake and his mum came to live with us?" Jack asked, instead of the enthusiastic response he expected he got a small grumble and a slight shake of the head indicating no.
"Liz what's wrong?" Jack asked
"I don't like Jake's dad" Lizzy admitted, Jack smiled
"Me neither but he isn't coming, just Jake and Sam, Teal'c is going to stay at auntie Janet's, and Sam will have his room, Jake can have the spare room" Jack promised her, Lizzy smiled and nodded energetically jumping up.
"Ok, I'll sort out Jake's room" Lizzy said running upstairs. Teal'c watched an amused look on his face.
"I require your aid to transport my stuff" he asked, Jack nodded.
"Teal'c look its not that I want you to leave only that I want Sam to be safe" Jack said just ensuring Teal'c wasn't offended. Teal'c bowed his head
"Indeed I am aware of this fact, it is my honour to release my room to Samantha despite all the hurt she has caused us" Teal'c said.
"Well you are still welcome here anytime, and I mean that" Jack said emphasising how important it was to him. Teal'c nodded.
"Indeed" Teal'c said going out to begin packing. Jack followed him upstairs deciding if he was chucking him out the least he could do was to help him pack. Lizzy joined them carrying one of Teal'c huge candles. With Daniel joining them soon Janet and Daniel's spare room was transformed into more of a harem the different coloured drapes and the candles giving it a lovely glow.
"Wow it looks amazing" Janet commented. Teal'c nodded
"Indeed I am most satisfied with the results" Teal'c said. Jack clapped his hands together
"We should have pizza I'll pay" Jack offered, everyone nodded and Lizzy cheered. Jack phoned the normal number ordering the same as he always did.
Hearing Sha're begin to cry Janet excused herself to go and feed her. Everyone else settled in the lounge, Janet and Sha're joining them shortly afterwards. Jack switched on the TV seeing it was the news he went to switch it over. Defending the earth from an enemy worse than anyone could image became less thrilling watching reports of the people you were saving, Pete came to mind.
"Boring" Jack said, but Janet's hand on his stopped him changing it,
"That's Sam's house" She said her voice echoing horror. Everyone stopped and watched in interest and growing fear.
"The chief of polices home was broken into by 2 men; it is not known at this time whether they were armed or not. Reports tell us that at approximately 9pm 2 thieves broke into the home harming Chiefs Shanahan wife and son before being scared off by the chief himself. Samantha Shanahan and Jacob Shanahan are currently receiving hospital treatment both are said to be stable. Captain Shanahan is with them at this time." The reporter said.
"Oh my God" Janet said in shock.
"What are the chances?" Daniel asked, Jack's mouth set in a thin line
"Very slim" he muttered. Janet stood up
"I'm going to go and see them," She decided standing up
"I'll come to" Daniel decided to protect his wife, before Jack could offer his services Teal'c stood
"I will drive" he announced daring anyone to say anything, Jack slapped Daniel on the back
"I will baby sit" he said, Daniel nodded.
"Bring her back here nobody can find her here trust me on that" he told them, they nodded.
"Sg1 never leaves anyone behind, even if they try to leave Sg1" Jack muttered, everyone nodded in absolute agreement.
