Challenge 5430: Family Found
I know that there are a lot of SG/Buffy Crossovers that deal with one of the gang having family in the SG program. I would like this Story to be centered on Giles. He should be related to one of the SG people. McKay, Beckett, or Woolsey come to mind. Maybe even Janet Fraiser. It might be interesting for Giles to inherit the guardianship for Cassie. This should be post Sunnydale crater and it should include the gang making Cassie a part of their family. I would like to see A Buffy/Giles pairing with Dawn becoming close to Cassie. I think she could use a sister closer to her age and a friend. It would be cool to see Cassie/ Connor or Cassie/Mini Jack, Dawn/Mini Jack or Connor. I would love to see the family Connor is placed with By WH be Giles. It would serve Angel right if Giles becomes his father figure.
I think the council should find a way to save Cassie from the bomb in her chest and perhaps make her a witch. I do not want her as a slayer.
Faith should take to mentoring the girls much too Buffy annoyance. Buffy will be more mature and calmer because of Giles influence.
Bonus points if you can work in the AGA people. Faith/ Sheppard would be a great mix.

Inheriting Family
Part 6 Remembering
Cassie drank her juice and wanted to hide and pretend that this was not happening. She wanted to feel safe and protected. Janet had always made her feel safe. SG-1 had come to her house to stay with her and she appreciated that deeply. It was good to be surrounded by those she loved and considered family. The problem was she knew this was not going to last long. SG-1 would have to go back to their jobs. She understood that they loved her and cared. She had never doubted that they had been in her life to long for her not to believe that. She heard a whimper and looked down. Her dog Buddy was there and looked as pitiful as she felt. She dropped down and hugged him and held him close. "We will be ok. Rupert will come get us."
The dog whined as she buried her dace his neck and wept.

President Hayes picked up the phone. He had been expecting this call since he learned of Janet's death. There was no way he would deny Rupert Giles his cousin's child. While it was true that there had to be protection around Cassandra he could think of no one better suited to carry out the task. Every report he had read stated that Rupert and his family were highly skilled and competent. "Hello, Henry Hayes speaking."
"Mr. President this is Rupert Giles. I am sorry to bother you." Rupert was clearly hesitant and wary of calling him. Henry frowned at this. He had known Giles for many years and while he was not a close friend he had thought the man at least trusted him. Then again given what had happened with the council perhaps Giles was simply leaning toward the side of caution? "Rupert you have my deepest sympathies. Janet was a fine woman and a gifted doctor. My nation's military will be all the poorer for her loss."
"Thank you, Mr. President. The reason I am calling is that I want to take Cassandra in. I know that with the loss of Sunnydale and the council I ...well, we are regrouping. That does not mean I do not have a place and home for her. I...Buffy and I feel she should be with her family. We believe that Cassandra will benefit from being around other young people who understand her unique situation."
The president smiled at this description. Unique certainly was one way to describe it. "Yes, all your children understand grief. I am sorry about that you know."
"I...yes, well it is a part of our lives. I do believe however it will allow us to give Cassandra the support she deserves and needs. We will all be flying to the funeral as soon as flight arrangements can be made."Giles said. Despite what Buffy had implied he was not about to ask for a ride.
The president agreed and before Giles could go on offered." I would like you and your children to fly down with me on Air Force One. There is no need for you to scramble for a flight. We have the room and there is no point in your trying to get tickets. We can discuss the situation on the way. Perhaps there is some assistance I can offer with the Council accounts and rebuilding it and your lives."
"I...Thank you. I will pass this onto to the others. I do not think they will object. We have much to discuss and I am afraid there may be some disturbing information. I believe your transport will be more secure then this phone."
"Good, now Rupert I have to make arrangements. Meet me at the White House at 12 noon. We can head to the airport from here. You are correct the plane will be more secure then this phone. Tell Buffy that I look forward to meeting her and Faith and the others."
"Yes, Mr. President."Giles replied."I just hope you survive the meeting."
Hayes laughed and had to agree. "Yes, so do I Rupert. I think that I can trust you to keep me safe."
"I shall try, only remember that none of my children like the military and if they try to keep Cassie from us it won't be pretty."
"I understand that and you will get her. My word on that, I owe you Rupert and I can and will repay that debt. The warning you sent saved my life and my family. I will not forget that."
"I am just glad you are safe, Henry. Your family should never have been brought into this. However, it is never easy and one does not simply resign from being a watcher."
The president laughed at this. "No, you never could stay away either."
Giles polished his glasses as he considered the presidents words. "No, I couldn't and I suppose this is my punishment for trying to avoid my destiny. However, I think it will not be as bad as I feared."
"Not with your children there to help you. Buffy and Faith are fitting heirs to the slayer and your other children will be a great support system. Have faith in yourself. You have a destiny to fulfill and you will do it well."
Rupert Giles straightened at the President's words. "I will do my best. I am glad you survived. Perhaps you can give me advice on how to run a worldwide enterprise."
"Any time, Rupert, now I really have to go. Take care and I will see you all at 12." The president hung up and Giles stared at the phone. It was going to be a long few hours. He looked up and noted Buffy watching him.
"So, who has to risk life and limb to wake the gang?" She asked with a smirk.
"Oh, hell I will." Giles said with a grin. Suddenly, life did not seem so dark. He was not alone and he had help and good friends. Perhaps the future would be better then he thought. He went over to the stairs and looked up he shouted out. "Breakfast will be ready in 10 minutes." There was a loud thump as the children rolled out of bed. Giles smiled as he heard Xander cursing even as the young man hurried to come down. Food was always a great motivator for all of his children. He headed back to the kitchen knowing that there had better be coffee and food or the Scooby gang would be cranky. He grinned as he watched Buffy pour mug after mug of that atrocious American staple.
"I have tea for you Giles. I know you would be horrified if I got you a real caffeinated beverage."
He laughed at her antics the pain of his grief momentarily pushed aside.
