Note: Thank you all so much for the reviews and the encouragement! Sorry it took so long to update! Took me a while to figure out how to play this scene out! Episode mentions: SG-1: "1969"

A few weeks later,
O'Neill looked over the latest reports that had been turned into him. He decided he might as well read them now, since he was still in the infirmary. He felt fine, but Dr. Lam and Dr. Beckett wanted to keep a close eye on him and Sheppard for any signs of rejection or complications.

Dr. Lam entered and walked over to him. "Sir." She looked him over carefully. Jack could tell she wanted to say something but something seemed off.

"What is it?" Jack asked. "Don't tell me I have too donate my other one."

"Of course not Sir. You'd die if you did." She replied. Her eyes drifted around the infirmary. They where alone, except for John at the other side of the room, but he was sleeping right now.

"Well then, good news, bad news?.. If it's bad news maybe you should butter me up with cake first. I love cake." Jack replied.

"No Sir.. Well.. It's not.. Technically bad news..." Dr. Lam frowned.

Dr. Beckett walked in. "So.. Have you?..." He asked looking to Dr. Lam. She shook her head.

Jack frowned wondering what this was all about. "Magnets." He replied.

Dr. Lam gave him a confused look. "Um.. Sorry?"

"You want to tell me some medical mumbo jumbo, just go with magnets. That always works." Jack nodded.

Dr. Lam took hold of Carson's arm and pulled him to the side to talk alone. "Perhaps we should wait until John is awake." She reasoned.

"We can't just wait much longer. They haven't seemed to know this long, they have a right to know now, lass."

"We've waited weeks to tell them because we were worried how they'd react might impact their recovery. We can wait a few more hours." Dr. Lam reasoned.

"Maybe we should tell them separately. Give them time to process?" Carson asked.

Jack watched as Lam and Beckett continued there conversation in the other room. He didn't like it when he wasn't in the loop. Even more so what it was about him.

Finally the two walked back to him. Carson seemed to try to have a bright fake smile on his face. "General, I've heard you like to go fishing perhaps we could-"

"Just tell me now." Jack said getting annoyed.

"Uh well.. Perhaps you should sit down." Carson said, sitting down himself warily.

"Jack looked down at his bed, then back to him. "Already am. Now quit the stalling."

"Uh, well.. You see General.." Lam started.

"Do you uh.. Did you want to ever have kids?" Carson asked.

Jack's eyes widened in surprise. He didn't expect that question. Then his face fell, as pain hit him. "I had one... Once."

Carson winced. "Oh.. I.. I didn't.. Sorry."

Jack's face fell stern. "Are you trying to say I'll never have kids again?" Jack's heart suddenly hurt.

"Oh no. Not all at!" Carson quickly replied waving his hands to stop him. "Well what where saying is.." Carson and Carolyn looked at each other or a moment.

"Are you aware of.. Any other children?" Dr. Lam asked.

Jack frowned. "You mean my young clone? Jonathan?"

Carson gave Lam a quick glance then looked back to Jack. "Uh.. No.. Maybe a different.. John?"

"What are you talking about?"

"Well.. Sir.. To put it bluntly.." Dr. Carolyn started. She motioned across the room at Sheppard.

Jack gave her a confused startled look. "What?!"

"Aye, we didn't understand it either but we ran a series of blood tests after your initially tests and well.. We don't understand how but-" Carson started.

"He's your son." Carolyn finished.

Jack sat back stunned then looked up at them. "Ah I get it." He grinned.

"Carson looked at him confused. "Excuse me?"

"This is some joke. Teal'c put you guys up to it." Jack replied.

"No sir. Where not lying." Carolyn replied.

Jack looked ahead of him trying to figure this out.

"Do you.. Do you know how that might be?" Carolyn asked.

Jack thought about it. "What was her name?"

"Who's name?" Carolyn asked.

"The mother."

"John's birth certificate says Jennifer Sheppard... But it also says his Father is Patrick Sheppard which can't be right.." Carson replied.

Realization dawned for Jack. "Crap."

Carson raised an eye brown. "Sorry?"

"You know that time travel stuff..." Jack muttered.

Carolyn and Carson looked to each other.

"There was a chick named Jennifer Clark.. Or Jennifer Webber.. Something like that during our little time travel adventure to 1969.."

"Sir, you're saying.." Dr. Lam started.

"Yeah! Okay! We did it. It was only once though.. There where a hippie couple ya know?"

Carson nodded awkwardly.

"But her husband wasn't Patrick Sheppard tho it was.. Michael Clark." Jack remembered.

"Aye, then she was but he died in the Vietnam War. She married Patrick a year later." Carson answered.

Jack gave him a look. "He did? How do you.."

"We looked them up when we were trying to figure out how it could be possible for you two to be related." Carson admitted.

Jacks eyes drifted. "I didn't know she was pregnant.. When was... When was he born?"

"June 14th, 1970." Carson answered. Then that makes sense if you travelled to 1969."

"Seriously?" A voice said, on the opposite side of the room.

The group turned and saw an awake and alert, surprised John sitting up in his bed.

Jack and John's eyes locked.

Carson and Carolyn looked at each other. "We'll uh.. We'll give you two a minute..."

They left leaving John and Jack alone to process this new found information.
