Note: I know people are getting anxious for an update so I decided to post a little prologue to the next chapter. Hope it's okay.


BTW: For you guys who really REALLY want more to read of this story before I manage to get to the next chapters, I have a pre chapter 3 story called "Mal Doran McKay: Penny for Your Thoughts". It wasn't added here because it was too McKay/Vala ship of a scene and it wasn't that important for John/Sam ship which also sorry I haven't been able to get too well yet. Patience lol. Anyway I'm only mentioning it now because I don't think I did before and because some of you guys really want updates lol. So you get something to read in the mean time I guess? But don't worry, it's not required to read it if you don't want too. lol.

Anyway back to the prologue:


"Tell me about it." John asked.
The two remained quiet for while.

"Well.." Jack started, trying to think of a casual joke to lighten the mood, but this new found revelation of a long lost son had kinda fried his brain...
All he could think about was his son Charlie, and how much he had failed him. How much pain and guilt he felt, rushing back to him like it was yesterday...
And now to know he had done it again..

He had failed another child.. Left a pregnant woman behind to have his kid with a rich stranger... Just so she could provide for the kid.. His kid..
The responsibility he neglected without realizing it..

Jack looked to John, who was looking off, deep in thought.

The conversation between Jack and the doctor still burned into John's brain.
He knew it was possible of course. Hey he met old Elizabeth before, and even time travelled to an alternate future himself, with old hologram Rodney.
Time travel could mess with and alter a lot of things just.. This?.. Really?..

Jack leaned back and raised an eyebrow. "You sure?" He asked.
He knew he had a lot to make up for.. So much time had been missed.. But now, he hoped had a second chance to make it up.

John paused. Did he really want to know if... If he was born out of some meaningless fling during time travel?.. That he was only here out of some random happen stance of luck?... After a moment John looked back to Jack and nodded.

"Yeah. Tell me everything."
