A Life Unknown
Summary: After Buffy's horrendous Graduation debacle comes to a close. Several different things come to light. The 1st being that Buffy's future will be a lot different than what she ever could have thought. That is with a father that she never knew had existed, and a father gaining a daughter that thought that he would never be a father again. How will the SGC be able to cope with a Californian Blonde running rampant throughout their halls?
PREVIOUSLY: As soon as Buffy was finished talking, Jack decided to make himself known by coming up behind her holding the rest of the dinner boxes.
"Shall we m'lady?" Jack asked in an overly down manner, as he inclined his head towards the house.
"We shall." Was all that Buffy said in reply, as she and her father finished the trek up the pathway to the house in front of them.
A/N: In this story, Buffy will still be 17 and a minor for some of this to work. Plus, I am going to be adding another Slayer in the mix to allow Buffy to leave the Hell-Mouth. You will just have to wait to see who and how this will come to be. I hope that you like this. I am not sure of the Stargate Time line, but there will be no special order to their Big Bads. Some things will be the same, but some will be different.
A/N II: I would like to thank everyone for all of the views and reviews for this story. I am trying my best to updates much as I can with the computer that I have, but it is not that easy when it shuts off as often as it does. Thank you for all of the support.
A/N III: Just to let you all know, the next chapters will be the last chapter of Buffy in Sunnydale. Colorado Springs...Here we come. Go'ulds beware.
A/N IV: I have been unable to temporarily fix my computer any longer; however I have gained access to another computer for a short amount of time at a time. I may not be able to post that long of chapters or as frequently update until I am able to get a new one. I have no intentions of abandoning any of my stories, so please just bear with me. I am exceptionally pleased and surprised by all of my readers. And again, I am really sorry that my updating will be very sporadic for the time being.
Chapter 14
"Let's see what kind of trouble that has been reaped in our absence." Jack stated, just as soon as they had reached the front porch.
Meanwhile after Buffy and Jack left with the Scoobies
"So what do you think guys? What do you all think we should we start with?" Daniel Jackson asked of Sam, Teal'c, and Giles that had decided to stay behind to help with the packing.
"I believe that it would be best if we each separated to tackle a single area. That would help us finish all the quicker." Giles stated, as he removed his glasses to clean off his lenses.
"I will begin with the packing of the weaponry and training equipment that is in the basement." Teal'c stated from his position, as he began to make his way towards the kitchen basement door.
"I will head on upstairs to start packing up the bedrooms of Buffy and her mother. I will keep out in a travel case any clothes that Buffy would possibly need back in Colorado." Major Carter stated, as she began to make her way up to the 2nd floor to begin with her self given task.
"I will work on the books down here." Was heard being spoken by both Daniel Jackson and Giles from the middle of living room.
"This could prove to be somewhat troublesome. I believe that we may need to separate by rooms. I will take Joyce's office, the bookshelves in the dining room, and all of the books that will be left from Buffy's training room. That will leave all of the books here in the living room, kitchen, and whatever books that are left upstairs in the bedrooms and what not for you to gather Dr. Jackson." Giles stated, as he began to divvy up the different rooms for packing.
"That should work, but do we have enough boxes to box up everything that will be traveling to Colorado with us?" Daniel Jackson asked of Giles.
"I believe that we should. I have several boxes that are in my car, plus all of the boxes that would be in the shed in the back." Giles replied.
"Alright then Mr. Giles, let's get to work." Daniel said back, as the remaining two began to get to work as well.
Room by room, and box by box, the quartet that remained at the house continuously worked diligently to fill as many boxes as they could.
By the time that anyone had spoken to another, they had realized that a good hour or two had flown by as they had been packing.
"Do either of you need any help down here? I just finished with the rooms upstairs." Samantha Carter asked once she returned downstairs.
"Not really. I think that we are just about done down here too. I think that we just need to know if there is anything in particular that Buffy wants to pack up other than what we already have." Daniel Jackson stated, just as soon as Teal'c returned as well.
"I too have completed with my task as well. I believe that Buffy Summers will be pleased that I was able to pack all of her weapons for transport. The larger equipment will not need packaging separately." Teal'c added on once he returned to the room fully.
"I believe that we have completed all that we can on our own. Buffy will have to complete the rest." Giles stated, as he once again wiped the lenses of his glasses.
"I wonder when the Colonel and Buffy will be back." Samantha Carter stated to nobody in particular, worrying over the time they have been gone.
"Most likely anytime. They weren't going all that far into town. " Giles stated back, just before adding on. "She may be spending a little more time with the other kids before coming back as well." Giles finished.
"Does Buffy have a cell phone that we could call? " Daniel Jackson asked of the Watcher.
"No, I don't believe that Joyce had given her the one that we all chipped in for her Graduation gift as of yet. She does have one of those beeper things though." Giles answered the Archeologist back almost instantly.
"Do people actually still use those? I don't even remember how to use them." Samantha Carter began, but continued on instantly. "That phone you're talking about must be the gift that I found upstairs setting on Buffy's mom's bed when I was packing. Speaking of packing, I think that we should take her shopping for proper clothing for Colorado weather once we arrive back home." Samantha Carter stated.
"I really don't think that's a good idea with us and the shopping with a teenage girl." Daniel Jackson's voice rang out with a small amount of fear coming out.
"What if we draft Janet and Cassandra to help us with the shopping?" Samantha Carter questioned towards her two teammates.
"I bet Jack has probably thought of that. You want to go ahead and give Janet a call, that way we won't be dropping in on them with no notice?" Daniel Jackson asked back.
"That's actually a good idea. Who wants to call?" Samantha Carter asked to the gathered group.
"I think that it should be you Sam. You have the better chances to talk her in to it." Daniel's answer came instantly.
"Alright then. I guess that I will be back in a few minutes." Samantha Carter stated, as she made her way toward the back door dialing her phone looking for some privacy.
"This better be life threatening and world ending to be interrupting my vacation Sam." Was the welcome she received by her long time friend and colleague, Dr. Janet Frazier.
"Hello to you too. I was just wondering if you and Cassie had decided to stay in Colorado for your leave? " Samantha asked of Janet.
"Yeah, why? I thought that SG 1 has been placed on Presidential detail." Janet Frazier asked back.
"Not so much Janet. It would be best if the Colonel filled you in with all the details, but how would you and Cassie like to go on a shopping spree with the Colonel's credit card?" Samantha asked with a hint of amusement to Janet Frazier.
"That does sound rather fun. I take it that the Colonel knows nothing of this call?" Janet asked.
"Not so much, but he will be calling you at almost anytime now." Samantha Carter began, but was cut off by a loud voice.
"Who's up for some pizza!?" Samantha Carter and Janet Frazier heard loud enough for everyone in the entire city to hear Buffy's entrance.
"Who was that? She sounds like she could be Cassie's age. So SG 1 got called in by the President of the United States to have a Pizza Party?" Janet Frazier questioned to her friend with amusement and her voice.
"Not really, but we are here to support the Colonel with some personal issues. Plus, the girl is actually a couple years older than Cassie. She recently graduated High School here in California. " Samantha began, but was cut off by Jack.
"Who are you talking to Carter?" Jack asked, as he approached his second-in-command.
"Just talking with Janet to see if they were still in town sir. I just figured that they would be able to help us with some shopping for Buffy once we arrive back in Colorado." Sam stated as she approached her friend.
"Can I see your phone for a minute Carter?" Jack asked.
"Of course you can. Here you go sir." Samantha Carter replied, as she handed her phone over to Jack.
"Are you still there Sam?" Jack heard Janet say from the other end of the line.
"Hey Doc. It's Jack. Do you and Cassie have any definite plans for the next few days? " Jack asked of the tiny Doctor on the other end.
"As I was telling Sam a few moments ago, I don't think so Colonel. What's going on out their that you would need help with shopping for a teenager? " Janet Frazier asked, trying to figure out what was going on with her friends.
"I guess that it wouldn't hurt if I let you in on the secret, but you can't let this get out to public knowledge yet. It appears that I have a teenage daughter that's just graduated high school." Jack began, but was cut off.
"That's great sir, but what does that have to do with sending out SG-1 as a whole?" Janet asked of Jack.
"She was attending classes at the school that had the explosion out here in Sunnydale California. Her mother had died after some trauma from the blast itself. There is a lot that I can't tell you due to Clearance issues, but I was notified and I was the one that asked for the backup here. It has come in handy a few times. I was just going to ask if you and Cassie would be up to helping an old man out with shopping for a 17 year old girl? " Jack finally got to the main reason.
"Hey Colonel!" Jack and Janet both heard from the other room call out. "Pizza's getting cold in here! " Jack recognize Buffy's voice shout towards the room he was in.
"That, plus Buffy and Teal'c seems to be participating in some sort of unspoken eating contest Sir. If you are wanting some form dinner tonight, I would get in there as soon as possible." Samantha Carter added on as she re-entered the room that Jack was talking in.
"I guess that that's my cue Doc. We should be back in Colorado Springs within the next day or two, so I will give you a call once we get in to set a time up. Thanks again, and we'll see you soon." Jack said as his goodbyes.
"Alright Jack. I will make sure that mine and Cassie's schedules are clear and see you then. Safe travels Colonel." Janet Frazier said, just before hanging up on her line.
"Everything good in here Jack?" Buffy asked, as she sneaked up behind Jack and Samantha, causing them to jump slightly.
"Sure thing kiddo. Let's go eat, and then after dinner we can load up the truck with what everyone has packed already." Jack began, but paused slightly before continuing on. "Speaking of which, did you thank everyone for all that they got done while we were gone?" Jack asked of Buffy.
"Sure thing. I did as soon as I set the pizzas down. I can't believe that they did all of that. I took a quick look, and I only seen just a few things that I really want to add to the stuff that is already packed. You've done a lot of stuff today, so why don't you come on in the living room to eat some food." Buffy said, as she grabbed Jack's arm trying to pull him into the living room to eat some dinner.
Meanwhile back when Buffy first entered the house
"Who's up for some pizza!?" Buffy shouted, as she and Jack first entered the house.
"Hey where's Carter at?" Jack asked as soon as he set his half of the food down on the coffee table and noticed the missing member of the group.
"I believe that Major Carter is in the other room on her cellular phone." Teal'c answered, as he approached Buffy to relieve her of the boxes that she was carrying.
As soon as Teal'c responded to Jack's inquiry, Jack made his way into the dining room to check up with Samantha Carter before eating dinner.
As soon as Jack was gone, Teal'c was standing next to Buffy with his hands out to grab the food. "Allow me Buffy Summers. I hope that you were able to resolve all issues that you needed to while you were out with your father?" Teal'c ended, as he set the boxes down on to the other end of the empty coffee table.
"I think we did Mr. Teal'c. Thank you." Buffy said in response, as she took a seat in the empty recliner in the living room before continuing on. "Is everything alright in there?" Buffy asked of the remaining group.
"Yeah. Sam was just asking a friend of ours from work if she and her daughter had any plans for their vacation time to see if they could go shopping with us when we return back home. She figured that it would be easier with someone closer to your age to tag along." Daniel Jackson responded.
"I don't think that it would hurt either if you began to make some new friends sooner rather than later either Buffy." Giles added on, as he once again began to clean the lenses on his glasses.
"I guess that that makes the kind of sense that does. I just hope that they can keep up with me. I was practically raised in the malls of LA. Well, dinner is getting cold, so let's eat up." Buffy said, just as Samantha Carter entered the room.
"Is everything alright in there?" Daniel asked, as soon as he noticed that she was alone.
"Yeah. Jack took over the phone call to Janet. I think that we are all set." Samantha started, just before turning to Buffy. "I started packing a bag for you to have with you on the way to Colorado. I put it on your bed to let you go through it to add anything else that you may want to take with you." Samantha ended, just as Buffy opened the first pizza box to start eating.
"Thank you Major Carter. I will take a look after dinner." Buffy said as she began to eat a slice of pizza.
"You don't happen to have any paper plates or anything do you?" Daniel Jackson asked of the blonde Slayer.
"Yeah hold on a minute." Buffy responded, as she made her way to the kitchen to gab the paper plates and plastic silverware. "Here you go." Buffy said, as she placed the items on the table next to the boxes of food.
One by one, the remaining people began to fill their plates up full of food.
Halfway throughout the meal, Samantha Carter realized that the food was going quickly due to the appetites of Buffy and Teal'c. "I better go and get Jack in here so he can actually eat some of this before it's all gone." She said, as she stood up to make her way back to the dining room.
"Whoops. I really didn't think about how much I was eating. I must have been hungrier than I thought." Buffy said, as she began to eat a lot slower and not as much.
"So Buffy. Do you have any plans once you get to Colorado Springs?" Daniel Jackson asked of Buffy.
"Not sure yet, but I will think of something. Right now, all I want to do is get settled and familiar with the night life out there. Anything else will come with time. I might start taking up some of the stuff that I was into before I was called as Slayer." Buffy ended, just as Samantha and Jack entered the living room.
"Anything left for an old man?" Jack asked, as he sat down on the couch closest to his daughter.
"If you hurry Jack." Daniel stated with a small laugh and smile.
"When do you think that you will be leaving to head to Colorado?" Giles asked of the gathered group.
"I figured that we would load the truck tonight after dinner. That way it would be ready for tomorrow afternoon after we pick up Buffy's mother." Jack stated as a response.
"I think that it would be good for Daniel, Teal'c, and myself to head out first thing in the morning. It would give us a bit of a head start to empty out the first truck at the Mountain." Samantha Carter added on.
"So this Base of yours is really inside a Mountain? That is way cool. Will I be able to go there?" Buffy asked, as she turned her head to the direction of her father.
"We'll see kiddo. You may have to sign a shitload of paperwork, but we'll see." Jack said, as he began to eat a third slice of pizza already.
"Language." Buffy said mockingly to her father like he had done earlier on in the day, causing everybody else to laugh at the situation.
"She's right Jack. You really shouldn't use that language around kids. Buffy is at a really impressionable age right now." Daniel Jackson stated, causing everyone to laugh even more.
After another 20 minutes of silence while everyone finished eating, Daniel and Teal'c began to clear away all of the trash and leftovers that were still in the living room.
Once the living room and kitchen were all squared away, Samantha entered the room to hand a wrapped gift over to Giles to give to Buffy.
"Buffy?" Giles said to gather his Slayer's attention before continuing on. "While we were all packing up this afternoon, Major Carter came across your Graduation present from your mother, myself, and the others. It may not be perfect timing, but I know that your mother would want you to have it before you left." Giles stated, as he handed the gift over to Buffy before sitting back down in his former seat.
As soon as Buffy grabbed the gift, she placed it on her lap and looked at the gift fighting back the tears that she trying to hold in before she began to gently open the last gift that she would ever receive from her mother.
