  Preface

  These chapters were written during Seasons 7-10 of Stargate: SG-1. Because of this, some aspects of the story, such as same-sex marriage, are not yet legal. Please overlook these aspects; if I changed it now, a lot more would have to be changed.

  This is fan-fiction. The characters of Stargate, and the alternate universe of Stargate do not belong to me, I’m only borrowing them. The Anunnaki belong to themselves, but I borrowed them, too; so far, they haven’t complained. The rest of the characters are mine. I also made up my own original First Flight astronauts, instead of using the real ones. This is not a slight against our heroes, only respect to not use them in a fictional situation.

  This story follows our SG-1 team on continuing adventures of life, love, and their irritation of a certain Goa’uld. This story contains pairings of straight and gay partners, as well as our threesome of Jack/Sam/Daniel, so if you are easily offended, don’t read this. If you are under age, you’ve been warned: I don’t want to hear from your mama about this. The smut has been removed in this version, as well as a few other scenes changed and added.

  There’s a lot of gay talk in this mainly because, at the time this was written, there was a lot of coverage in the news about gays in the military, as well as religion being forced onto military personnel, and problems at the Air Force Academy, so there’s a great deal of commentary on these subjects. I’m giving my own two-cents on those subjects.

  No profit is intended on this story. I wanted to make it available to people in a portable format, and the prices of these books are the lowest I was allowed to set them with CreateSpace and Kindle.

  Note: There are a few lyrics in this, so thanks to Shinedown and John Hiatt. Information was borrowed from the United Nations website. There are probably a few others I need to mention, but for the life of me, I can’t think of them.

  Writers need love, too, so feel free to drop me an email at [email protected]!

  There is more to be found at my website, www.michelebriere.com , including The Gatekeepers, an original, on-going story, a fun, light-hearted space opera.

  When they had returned home, Sam spent time resting in bed and Jack updated his mother. Maggie put her arms around him, knowing how it hurt him to lose another child. She then went into the bedroom and spent some female time with Sam.

  Jack took Daniel by the arms and looked him in the eyes.

  “She doesn’t understand,” he said gently. “You lost a child, too.”

  “I know she didn’t mean any harm,” Daniel said. He leaned on Jack’s shoulder. They decided that they didn’t want to know who the paternal donor was, not unless it was necessary for pathology. As far as they were concerned, all three were the parents. They had been honest with the children and told them that a newly created baby had died. They were a little more detailed for the older kids, but Davy wasn’t quite sure how Sam could have been pregnant if she didn’t have a big belly. They took out the picture books and reminded him of what an embryo looked like and how big it was. While it was still the size of a pea, they wouldn’t have known Sam was pregnant just by looking at her. Davy nodded thoughtfully and then kissed Sam on the cheek.

  With the kids all out, they lay quietly in
bed for a while, Sam resting against Jack’s chest as he stroked her hair. She lifted her head and rested her chin on her hands as she contemplated Jack’s face. Although something about his unusual genes had taken about fifteen years off him, there were still enough lines on his face to make him interesting. She found it interesting that the scar on his left eyebrow had remained; a white line of hair amidst the dark blond. She traced a delicate fingernail along his lower lip. Jack’s lips were relatively thin, while Daniel had full lips, and yet they both kissed exceptionally well. Although they were both male, their differences made them unique.

  “Are you sure you’re alright?” Jack asked.

  She nodded. “I’m feeling fine,” she said. “Besides. Any leftover wounds have been healed by you.”

  Jack pushed the hair from her eyes. “I’m talking about a little deeper inside,” he said. “Honey, no one expects you to get over this immediately. If you want some time off from work, I can make it happen.”

  “I need to work,” she said. “I didn’t even know I was pregnant, much less had time to love the baby. I’m fine. Really.”

  He gave a nod.

  “Go on,” she said. “Find out for yourself.”

  His mouth twitched and he sent a feeler inside. She was a little raw, and mostly confused.

  “What are you confused about?” he asked. She was still for a moment and then slid off to lay next to him, her arm across his chest, fingers playing with the curls on his chest.

  “I’m supposed to be…. sad,” she whispered. “No, that isn’t the right word. I don’t know… depressed. I am depressed. But I know that it’s hormones. Am I such a bad person that I can’t….”

  “No,” Jack said, shaking his head. “Honey, you can’t second-guess yourself like that. You said it yourself; you didn’t have time to love the baby. I’m sad, Daniel’s sad, and you’re sad. Honey, I don’t know when a baby is a baby. When it’s a person. Is it a person at conception? At birth? When its heart begins to beat? Dr. Rand said to think about… the fetus… as a tumor. Sam, I saw what was sent to Dr Lam; take Dr. Rand’s advice. No one will think less of you for it. Sure, it wasn’t much more than newly split cells, but even I could see that it was forming wrong. We will have a baby, and he or she will be beautiful and healthy.”

  He took her face between his hands and looked into her blue eyes. “I’m going to be selfish and say that I want to see you pregnant. I want to see our baby born. It’s your choice, but that’s my say on the matter. Now. My dear Colonel. How are my ships coming?”

  Sam smiled and pressed her mouth to his chest.

  “With all the naquadah that Teal’c brought us, plus what was taken from several Goa’uld planets, we have enough for twelve more 303s and the 302s for them. I’d like to try out the new model, though. I’d like to cut it to a couple of Prometheus class and Daedalus class, two more science ships, and use the rest on the new patrol ships. We should get five patrol ships out of the rest.”

  Jack thought about it and slowly nodded. “Will the patrol ships be ready by the time Henry takes his place on the council?”

  Sam thought about it. “We could probably make one ready,” she said. “We’d need to put it ahead of the 303s.”

  “Do we really need to do this?” he asked. “There are a lot of ha’taks and smaller ships sitting around.”

  “Yes, but the Jaffa have been taking them,” she said. She opened her mouth to say more and then thought about it, eying him suspiciously. “Did you just distract me?”

  He smiled at her. “Did it work?”

  She punched him in the chest. “Beast.”

  They showered and found Daniel changing a diaper. Olivia saw her other parents and grinned, waving a foot in the air.

  “Fang, no,” Daniel scolded the pup. The puppy was investigating the interesting smells in the small can.

  “I’m going to work,” Sam said. She kissed Daniel and then picked up the naked baby. She held Olivia close for a moment and then kissed her round cheek. A small, red-furred head poked up to see the changing table.

  “Sam kiss?”

  She gave the ears a scratch and bent to peck the cub on the head.

  “Good morning, T’Keet.”

  “Good…. morrrnnning,” the cub returned. She twitched, pleased with herself.

  “Where’re the kids?” Jack asked.

  “Katie hos-pi-tal, Matteeee friendzzz, Staceeee reeeeding, Daveeee cartoooonzzzz. Jaaack, no understaaaand cartooonzzz.”

  Jack took a paw and swung her up and around to his back. “It’s a Tau’ri rite of passage,” he told her. “Just keep watching; you’ll get it.”

  After T’Keet put herself nose to nose with Daniel and begged to be allowed into his clan for a while, they found themselves agreeing to cub-sit for a couple of weeks. The neighborhood kids were excited to be playing with an alien cub, although the SF had to stop curiosity seekers and the media from disturbing their family street. Having been around other humans for a year, T’Keet was pretty well adapted to human living conditions. A few things needed to be explained, such as household plumbing. She also needed to understand that most human children didn’t sleep all piled together. T’Keet found that odd. Davy, however, was quite happy to share his bed and cuddle with a living stuffed animal.

  On Jack’s end of the deal, he heard from a few conservative generals and other government-type officials. Allowing an alien to scamper about the planet was too dangerous. Jack reminded them that the alien in question wasn’t wearing clothes so where would she hide the suicide bomb? Considering the fact that Henry was rolling around on the White House lawn in front of the press corps with the cub and his grandchildren while Jack argued with the generals, the arguments didn’t get far.

  A few scientists wanted all sorts of tests on the cub. Jack told them what to do with their tests while Sam sent out copies of stock records on the Sua and Daniel offered a two hundred page report on the Sua culture. He apologized for the brevity of the report, but he was up to his eyeballs in paperwork.

  What halted T’Keet in her tracks was meeting Ronnie. Ears and whiskers popped up and twitched. She didn’t know there was a third kind of human; what was this one? Daniel had a hard time trying to explain the concept of transgender. He finally gave up when T’Keet’s ears flattened, effectively shutting them to more sound.

  Fang also gave the cub a curious sniff over and T’Keet was pleased to return the gesture. She, too, was taught how to take the pup for a walk, although she didn’t understand why Fang just couldn’t use the toilet like everyone else. She tried instructing the pup on proper procedures and was rewarded with face licks.

  They took her along into town on trips, spooking the civilians, and introduced her to ice cream. All the sugar wasn’t good for her, Sam and Daniel both tried telling Jack; he didn’t listen. T’Keet spent most of the night completely wired. The other two insisted that Jack stay up with her until she settled down. T’Keet was on a sugar-free diet after that.

  With the cub on his back, Jack went to his office and picked up a faxed report.

  “Sam!” He slowly walked into the living room. When she showed up, he handed it to her. She quickly scanned it, frowning.

  “Where does he come up with this stuff?” she asked out loud. “Okay, I’m getting a new assistant. I’ll send this to General Taylor.”

  “That Rusty person checked out,” Jack commented. “It’s up to you, but I get a good feeling about her. And Livie likes her.”

  Sam thought about it for a moment before her brow cleared. “Oh, right. CMS Wilson.”

  “Why didn’t the mikku turn up that ship when we did the planet-wide naquadah search?” he asked. “I don’t get it. The hit we got showed only enough naquadah to make less than two percent of that ship. What’s the rest?”

  “We don’t know, yet,” she said, keeping pace. “The chief’s file looks good. I’ll interview her for the position. I’m disappointed about Coulter, though. I met his wife; she seemed happy to me
. And yes, we will do another scan and refocus on the naquadah mix.”

  “Okay, I’m not happy with this mikku thing, I don’t care who invented it,” he declared.

  “Well, then I’d say dig into those memories and fix it,” she said sweetly. She patted his face and went to find her shoes.

  Jack thought about it. “Was that a snap?” he asked.

  “Yes, it was,” Daniel confirmed. “You’re the one with the downloaded knowledge; try helping her instead of continually telling her to reinvent the wheel. Jack, I know you’re scared to try reaching for the knowledge, we all know what happened the last couple of times. But those were immediate downloads and your brain didn’t have time to adjust. You’ve had time and we know you can bring up the knowledge when you want to. Quit being a sissy and just do it.”

  Jack scowled.

  “What sisssssseee?”

  “Someone who is afraid to do something,” Daniel said.

  “Oh. Jack sisssseee?”

  “Not usually.”

  “Fine!” Jack declared, tossing his arms up. “I’ll go….. conjure a ghost.”

  “Da!”

  He looked at the floor. “Yes, your majesty?”

  Chubby arms were held out. Jack bent and picked her up, settling her on a hip and buzzing her check. “At least someone loves me,” he muttered.

  “We all love you, Jack,” Daniel said. “Even when you’re being a wimp.”

  “What whhhimmmmpah?”

  “Never mind,” Jack said, as Daniel ignored them and went into the bedroom to change. He handed the baby to Jerrie who was doing her best to stay out of the contest of wills. After a short intro to T’Keet, Jerrie had added another child to the group without much effort. The cub was easier than expected; she was able to reason and caught on quickly. Everyone hoped that curiosity didn’t kill this cat, though.

  The front door opened and Matthew walked in. “Are you awake?” he asked snarkily.
