~~~~~~~~ Three days later ~~~~~~~~

�Where tree?� asked Jenny,
looking around the sterile room.
�It�s not here, baby,� said
Jack.
She looked up at her father in
confusion, her bottom lip sticking out. �Mommy?� She
looked at Sam for an explanation. �Where tree?�
�Daddy�s
right, baby. It�s not here. It�s at home,� said Sam, pulling Jenny up
onto her lap.
Jenny�s blue eyes widened and she pouted. It was only a
few days until Christmas and they�d put up a big Christmas tree. Jenny looked
at both her parents. She didn�t understand why she was there and not at home.
�Wanna go home!� she said emphatically.
Thor appeared before them and approached cautiously. He
was apprehensive because he thought he might frighten the small child. He
didn�t have to worry. At twenty months old, Jenny O�Neill was not afraid of
anything. She was curious and inquisitive�just like her mother. She was
stubborn when she didn�t understand something�just like her father. But, Jack
was truly thankful she�d gotten her mother�s brains. She knew when not to push
things.
�Jenny, this is Thor. He�s our friend,� said Sam.
�Hi,� said Jenny, squirming to be put down. �Down, mommy,�
she said. Sam let her go and she toddled over to Thor. She looked up at him and
smiled.
�Hello, Jenny. I am pleased to meet you,� he said. He
reached out slowly and touched her blonde curls gently. She surprised everyone
by wrapping her small arms around his skinny body and hugging him.
Sam grinned and Jack laughed. Jenny turned back to her
parents and smiled. She let go of Thor and ran back to Jack.
�Up, daddy!�
He picked her up and nuzzled her, causing her to giggle.
Her giggles always brought a smile to Jack�s face�and Sam�s.
�Daddy?�
�Yeah, baby?�
�I hungwy,� she complained.
�Oh shit, Sam. We left in such a hurry, we didn�t grab any
food,� said Jack. He remembered Sam�s description of Asgard food. Umm�eww.
�This is not a problem, O�Neill,� began Thor.
�No offense Thor�buddy. But,
Asgard food doesn�t agree with us. Jenny couldn�t survive on that,� interrupted
Jack.
�I was going to say that we could send you back to
retrieve your food,� said Thor.
Sam giggled at the look on Jack�s face. He frowned at her.
�Hey now�no giggling.�
�Daddy!�
�What?� he asked, returning his attention to his daughter.
�I hungwy,� she complained.
�Thor, do your stuff,� he said.
Daniel Jackson appeared, apparently right in the middle of
a lecture. �And for this reason�� he trailed off when he realized where he was.
�Jack? What�s�uh�what�s going on?�
�Unca Danny!� exclaimed Jenny, holding her arms out to
him.
�Hiya
sweetheart,� said Daniel taking her from Jack. He kissed her
cheek and handed her back to her father.
She snuggled up to Jack and kissed him on the cheek. His
face broke into a huge grin. She always did know how to make him smile�just
like her mother.
Daniel realized he wasn�t going to get anything out of
Jack, so he turned to Sam. �Sam, what am I doing here?�
�We need food, Daniel�human food,� she stated.
�And Thor doesn�t want us down there apparently until
everything�s clear,� added Jack.
�What do you expect me to do?� asked Daniel.
Thor handed him something. �Place this on their sustenance
storage unit. I will transport it, and you, back here.�
�Umm�ok,� he said and disappeared.
�Daddy? Where Unca Danny?� asked Jenny, a
hint of fear in the voice of a fearless child.
�He�ll be back, baby,� said Jack, gently stroking her
back.
He suddenly realized that Thor had left them alone. He
thought for a moment. Where could he keep his wife and daughter safe�and happy?
�Sam, what do you say we have Thor transport us to Minnesota�to the cabin?�
She looked apprehensive. �What if they�re watching the
cabin, Jack?�
He shuffled Jenny around and pulled Sam onto his lap. He
sat Jenny on hers and she wrapped her arms around her daughter. �I promised you
that I would protect you and Jenny�and I will,� he said and kissed her softly.
Thor came back with something in his hand. He walked over
to the three visitors. �I have a gift for your child,� he said to Jack.
Jack looked at Sam and she nodded. She stood and sat down
beside him. Jenny crawled on her daddy�s lap as he put his arm around Sam�s
shoulders and squeezed gently.
Thor held out a small silver-looking bracelet. In the
center was a small unknown stone. In the center of the stone, was the symbol
for earth�s point of origin. Sam held out Jenny�s arm and let Thor slip the
bracelet around her tiny wrist. It immediately shrank to fit and Jenny
screamed. It had given her a slight shock as it shrank.
�Thor! What in the hell have you done!� screamed Jack.
Sam took Jenny from Jack and tried to comfort the
frightened child. �Off!� screamed Jenny.
Sam tried to take it off, but it wouldn�t budge. �Mommy, off!� Jenny was becoming hysterical.
�Jack, I can�t get it off of her!� exclaimed Sam.
�Thor!�
�I assure you, O�Neill. It will not harm her,� said Thor,
over Jenny�s hysterical screams.
�Why can�t I take it off?� said Sam, terrified now.
�It is attuned to her genetic makeup and mind. Only she
can take it off.�
�For cryin� out loud! She�s only twenty months old!
She�s not coordinated enough yet to take it off,� yelled Jack angrily.
�She is now protected by the Asgard, O�Neill. The bracelet
will allow you, as her parents, to contact us if she is in trouble. It will
warn of approaching danger by emitting a slight glow. The bracelet will enlarge
as she grows, so that it will never be too small for her.�
�But, she�s just a baby! She doesn�t understand any of
this!� said Sam, finally getting Jenny to calm down.
�I overheard you discussing going to your cabin. You can
now rest assured she will be protected.�
�You could�ve told us this, Thor,� said Jack. �Before you put it on her.�
�Mommy?� said Jenny, still shaking uncontrollably.
Sam kissed her forehead and she laid her head on Sam�s
shoulder, wrapping her small arms around Sam�s neck. �Shh baby. It�s ok now.�
�Wanna go home,� begged Jenny before putting her thumb in
her mouth. Jack wrapped his arms around them both and kissed Jenny and then
Sam.
�What do you think?� he whispered to Sam.
�I�m scared, Jack. But, if Thor can guarantee her safety��
she trailed off.
He nodded his understanding. �Send us to the cabin,� he
said to Thor.
�As you wish,� said Thor.
Immediately they found themselves in Jack�s cabin. A few
seconds later, Daniel joined them.
�Ok. This is getting annoying,� he muttered and then
realized Jenny was terrified.
�What happened?� he demanded, worried about his �niece�.
�Thor gave Jenny a gift that scared the hell out of her,�
said Jack angrily.
�What?�
Sam held up the arm wearing the bracelet. �It shrunk to
fit her wrist and scared her. Apparently, she�s the only one who can take it
off.�
Jenny shivered. �Daddy?�
Jack moved to Sam�s side and stroked Jenny�s cheek. �I�m
right here, baby.� He held his arms out to her and she
went right to him and laid her head on his shoulder.
�I hungwy.�
Jack grinned and Sam let out a slightly hysterical giggle.
�Ok. We�ll get you something to eat.�
He turned to Daniel and saw something out of the corner of
his eye. �Well, I�ll be damned,� he said.
�What is it, Jack?� asked Sam.
�My truck is here.�
�What? How?�
They looked at each other and at the same time, both said
�Thor.�
�Daniel, can you run into town and get some food for at
least a few days?� asked Jack.
Daniel sighed. �No problem. Where�re the keys?� he asked,
resigned to being messenger and gopher for the next few weeks.
Jack tossed him the keys and pulled out his wallet,
handing Daniel $200. �That should get enough food for the three of us for at least
two weeks.�
�Thanks Daniel,� said Sam. She walked him to the door and
took a quick look outside. Seeing nothing, she turned and watched Jack put
Jenny down on the floor. She immediately took off towards the open door and her
Uncle Danny.
Sam caught her in mid-flight. She tossed her in the air,
the little girl giggling the whole time. �Mommy!�
Sam sat down on the floor and began to tickle her
mercilessly. Jenny�s giggles brought tears to Jack�s eyes, but it soothed his
aching heart. Just a few minutes before, she was a terrified baby. Now, she was
back in her element�back on earth.
Christmas was in a few days and he�d promised Sam and
Jenny the best Christmas ever. Kinsey and the Trust blew that out of the water.
But, then again�maybe not.
�Sam?�
�Hmm?� She was blowing raspberries on her
daughter�s stomach, causing her to giggle uncontrollably.
He sat down on the floor in front of the fireplace and
extracted his daughter from her mother�s grasp. He nuzzled her cheek, his five
o�clock shadow tickling her. �Daddy!�
He held his hand out to Sam and pulled her close to them.
She settled into his embrace and laid her head on his shoulder.
�What�s wrong Jack?�
�Nothing. I was just thinking.�
�That�s my job remember?� she said with a grin.
He stuck his tongue out at her and she giggled. �I�m
trying to be serious here,� he complained.
�Sorry, honey. Please continue,� she said, kissing him
gently on the cheek.
�Daddy?�
�What baby?�
�I hungwy,� she pouted.
�Uncle Daniel will be back in a little bit with some
food,� he said as she laid her head on his shoulder and stuck her thumb in her
mouth. �Just be patient.� He kissed the side of her
head.
�I was thinking about Christmas.�
�It�s pretty much ruined now, since Kinsey showed his
ass,� said Sam.
�Yeah, but I was thinking about asking our ol� buddy Thor
to transport everything here�tree and all. But, I�m gonna wait until Daniel
gets back.�
She sat up and stared at him. �Well? Get to it, O�Neill!�
she said with a grin.
He put his hand on her arm. �Easy honey.
I�m not going anywhere until Daniel gets back.�
�Why wait, Jack?�
�Because I�m not leaving the two of
you alone for a second until Kinsey and his goons are caught and behind bars.�
�Jack��
He turned to her and took her hand in his. �Sam, I promised
you that I would protect you and Jenny�and I�m going to.�
She realized he still had his nine-mil with him. He
continued. �I will do anything�anything�I
can to keep you and our daughter safe.�
She placed her hand on his cheek. �I know Jack�and that�s
why I love you.�
He leaned over and kissed her softly. Jenny whimpered a
little. They were squishing her. He felt Sam smile against his lips and he
returned it and backed off.
�You ok?� he asked Jenny.
�Hungwy!� she growled.
Sam and Jack laughed. �Like daughter like father,� said
Sam.
�Hey now. I�m not that bad,� he said.
�Yes�you are,� she said.
�Maybe a little.�
�Nope. A lot.�
�Yeah, but you love me anyway,� he said with a smile. �Why
is that?�
�Because you�re you.�
He kissed her again and stood with Jenny still in his
arms. He tossed her in the air, her giggles making him smile. He tossed her
again and then hugged her fiercely.
�More daddy! More!�
He tossed her again, just as someone knocked on the door.
He handed her to Sam and drew his nine-mil. Jenny quit giggling when she felt
the tension of her parents. He motioned for Sam to get behind him. When she
had, he looked out the window and saw Daniel standing there with two bags.
�It�s Daniel,� said Jack, putting up his gun.
He opened the door and let Daniel in. �It�s about time!�
said Daniel. �There�re six more bags in the truck.�
Sam laughed as Jack took the bags from him and sat them in
the kitchen. He followed Daniel out and the two of them brought the rest of the
bags in.
�You weren�t followed were you?� asked Jack.
�No.�
The look on Daniel�s face spoke volumes. �Sam, why don�t you take Jenny to her nursery and let her play.
I�ll get lunch started.�
She looked at him. He knew the look. It was the �you�d
better fill me in or else� look he�d gotten from her several times. He nodded
and said, �It�s ok baby. I�ll tell you later.�
�Come on sweetheart. Let�s go play with your Carebears.�
�Hungwy!� she said.
�I know. Daddy�s gettin� it ready.�
�Ok.�
She kissed Jack and he kissed Jenny. �Go with mommy. I�ll
make you some�uh�what did you get?� he asked Daniel.
�Macaroni and
Cheese�spaghettios�steaks�bologna�bread�things like that,� said Daniel.
�Cool. You want some spaghettios baby?�
�Yes,� she said.
�Ok,� he said, giving her another kiss.
When Sam and Jenny were out of the room, he turned to
Daniel. �Spill it.�
�There�re some people in town asking questions about you
and Sam. They were asking people at the store I went to, where your cabin is.�
�They didn�t say anything did they?
Did they see you?� asked Jack anxiously.
�No�and no. In fact, nobody answered their questions or
said anything to them. The only reason they spoke to me was because I was with
you and Sam the last time you were here.�
�Good.� He turned to the stove and put the spaghettios to
cook. �Do me a favor Daniel?�
�What?�
�Beam to Thor and transport our Christmas stuff here?�
�Jack��
He turned back to Daniel. �Please Daniel. This is my first
Christmas with my daughter. I�m not going to let Kinsey ruin it. Please. Do
this for me and Sam and Jenny.�
He saw the look on Daniel�s face when he mentioned Jenny.
They would all do anything for Jack and Sam�s daughter. They loved her
like�well�like family.
�Oh alright,� he said.
�Thanks Danny. I owe you one.�
�You owe me more than one Jack.�
�True, but this time I�ll pay you back.�
�Riiight,� said Daniel,
activating the communicator and disappearing in a beam of light.
He went into Jenny�s room and saw Jenny and Sam playing
with her Carebears. �Well?� she asked
looking up at him.
�Daniel said there were some people asking questions in
town, but no one would tell them anything.�
�Did they see him?�
�No, honey,� he said and sat down on the floor with them.
�We�re gonna be ok.� He handed Sam the small bowl of spaghettios and a spoon.
Sam began to feed Jenny while her and Jack talked. Jenny
ate half her bowl and drank her apple juice. They could hear Daniel in the
living room, setting everything up.
�Full,� said Jenny. Sam wiped her mouth and cleaned her
face.
�Jack,� said Daniel from the living room. �It�s ready.�
He stood and picked Jenny up, kissing her cheek. �Where
go?� she asked him.
�Got a surprise for you my little one,� he said, holding
his hand out to Sam.
Sam took his hand and he pulled her up. Together, they
walked into the living room. Jenny squealed with delight when she saw the
Christmas tree lit up.
�Tree!�
Jack had gone all out this year. He�d shopped around until
he found the perfect Douglas fir. He and Sam decorated it one night while Jenny
slept. They saved the star for her. The next morning, he lifted her up and she
put it on the top of the tree. They�d had a photographer come to the house to
take another family photo that would be included in all their Christmas cards.
So far, everyone loved the picture.
Jack sat Jenny on the floor and she ran up to the tree and
stared at it, eyes wide with excitement.
�Thanks Danny,� said Jack.
Jenny turned and looked at Jack. He saw the mischievous
gleam in her blue eyes a mere second before she tried to climb the tree! Daniel
grabbed the tree to keep it from falling over as Jack grabbed Jenny. The
mischievous gleam was replaced by a look of fear.
�No Jenny!� said Jack anxiously. �NO!�
Jack had never told her �no�
before. He watched as his innocent daughter processed the demand.
�Daddy?�
Her bottom lip began to quiver and then she began to cry.
He held her tightly. �Shh baby.
I�m sorry I yelled. You scared me.� He sat on the couch and rocked her as she
sobbed with a broken heart. He�d never yelled at her before. �Shh,� he said
softly.
When she stopped crying, Jack
wiped her tears away. �You scared me, honey.�
Her blue eyes widened. �Daddy
scared?� she asked in a trembling voice.
�Yes baby. Daddy was scared,� he
said softly stroking her hair.
�Why?� she sniffled.
Sam sat down beside them. �You
could�ve been hurt, honey,� she said touching her daughter�s face.
�Mommy scared?� she asked, her tiny voice full of incredulity.
�Yes. I was scared too,� said
Sam, pushing Jenny�s hair back and kissing her forehead.
She pouted and said, �I sorry.�
She stuck her thumb in her mouth and laid her head on Jack�s chest. �I sorry daddy.�
He kissed the top of her head.
�It�s ok, baby. Just don�t do it again, ok?�
�Ok daddy,� she said with a
yawn.
�You sleepy, baby?� asked Sam.
�No,� said Jenny with another
yawn.
Sam laughed. �C�mere baby,� she
said, holding her arms out for Jenny.
Jack gave her a kiss and handed
her to Sam. Jenny laid her head over Sam�s heart. Her mother�s heartbeat would
put her to sleep. Sam began to rock slowly.
�Mommy?� she said sleepily.
�Shh. Go to
sleep,� whispered Sam, stroking her back lovingly.
�Cold,� said Jenny shivering.
�I�ll start a fire,� said Jack
standing up and walking to the fireplace.
�Daniel, can you get her blanket
out of her room please?� asked Sam.
�Ok,� he said.
Sam continued to rock Jenny.
When Daniel returned, Jenny was already asleep. Jack had gotten a fire going
and it was getting warmer in the room. He handed the blanket to Sam as Jack sat
down and slid his arm around his wife.
�Thanks,� said Sam, wrapping the
blanket around Jenny.
�No problem. You guys need
anything else?�
Jack looked around. �Where�re
the presents?�
�In the truck,� said Daniel. �I
figured you wanted to do the whole Santa Claus thing.�
�Thanks Space Monkey,� said
Jack.
�We still want you, Cassie, and
Teal�c to come for Christmas day,� said Sam.
�Sure. I�ll get everybody
together and have Thor beam us here.� He was reluctant to leave his friends.
�Are you sure you guys are gonna be ok?�
�Yeah.
If anything happens, we immediately beam up to Thor,� said Jack.
�Be safe you guys,� he said.
�We will,� said Jack.
�You too,� said Sam.
With that, Daniel activated the
communicator and disappeared, leaving the O�Neill family alone.
�Do you think it�ll be warm
enough for her Jack?� It was starting to snow outside.
�Yeah, I think so.� He took in
the sight of his wife and daughter and smiled.
�I�m going to put her to bed and
then I�ve got something to show you,� said Sam with a twinkle in her eye.
�While you�re doing that, I�m
gonna go get the presents out of the truck,� he said, helping Sam to stand. He
kissed Jenny on the cheek and stroked her blonde curls gently. �Sweet dreams,
baby.� He let Sam take her and lay her in her crib.
He took the opportunity while he
was outside to do some recon. His cabin was hidden among the trees and there
was one way in and one way out. He knew they would spot anyone coming in almost
immediately.
Seeing nothing unusual, he headed back inside, arms full
of presents. A few more trips and all the presents were in the storage room. It
was still two days until Christmas. Like Daniel said, Jack wanted to play the
�Santa Claus� card with Jenny.
After making sure everything was in place, he went back to
the living room. What he saw nearly made his heart stop. Sam was sitting on the
floor in front of the fireplace wearing nothing but a red, low-cut teddy.
He knew that she knew he was behind her. She held up her
hand and handed him a glass of wine. He sat down beside her and sipped at the
wine.
�Is this what you wanted to show me?� he asked
seductively. He raised his hand and trailed his fingers along the strap of the
skimpy garment down her back. She shivered and he grinned.
He sat the wineglass down and took hers, placing it next
to his on the coffee table. �Is this what you wanted to show me?� he repeated.
�Yes,� she said shyly. �What do you think?�
He didn�t say anything, just moved to sit behind her. He
put his hands gently on her shoulders and slid the straps down.
�Jack?� she asked huskily.
�Shh,� he whispered, placing a light kiss at the base of
her neck. His breath on her throat caused her to shiver again. He slid the
teddy completely off her shoulders, touching every space of skin with his mouth
and hands.
�Jack,� she moaned.
�Shh,� he whispered again. �Hold your arms up, baby.�
She did and he completely removed the teddy, tossing it to
the side. He slid his hands around to cup and knead
her breasts. He continued to place open-mouth kisses on her neck as he gently
pinched her nipples.
�Jack, I need you,� moaned Sam.
�Trust me, baby. You�ll love this,� he said softly, as his
mouth continued its� ministrations on her neck, paying special attention to the
hollow of her throat.
He trailed one hand down to the apex of her thighs. She
was more than ready for him. But, for
some reason, tonight was different. Maybe it was the way the firelight danced
along her skin. Maybe it was the fear of the last few hours that was making him
act this way. Maybe it was because he just wanted to make love to her�slow and
passionate.
She leaned her head back against his shoulder and raised
one arm above his head, pulling him down to her mouth. The kiss was long and
passionate and full of hope and promise. She gasped into his mouth as his hand
slipped beneath the red satin panties.
She bucked when his fingers slipped between her folds and
found her clit. He began to stroke her lightly, nipping at her skin at the side
of her neck. It wasn�t long before she started moving her hips in time with his
fingers. He slid one finger lower and circled her opening. Then he pushed one,
then two, fingers inside her, never penetrating too far�just enough to keep her
gasping and wanting more.
He brought her to the edge and stopped. �Jack,� she
begged. �Please.�
�Shh�easy baby.�
He removed his fingers from within her and gently turned
her around, capturing her lips in a devastating kiss. Sam slowly unbuttoned his
shirt and pushed it off his shoulders. They broke the kiss in order for her to
remove his t-shirt, immediately reconnecting once the shirt was off.
�Too slow,� she said. �Too slow.� Sam was getting
impatient. She wanted them both naked�now.
He allowed her to remove his pants and boxers before
regaining control of the situation. He stopped her when she reached for his
throbbing erection.
�Sam, I wanna do this slowly, baby. Please. Let me do
this.� He knew he was pleading with her. He knew she could hear it, but he
didn�t care.
She looked in his eyes and saw the passion and love
within. She leaned forward and kissed him passionately. He wanted slow�he
wanted romantic.
�Whatever you want, Jack. I�m yours to do whatever you
want with,� she whispered and stroked his cheek, running her thumb softly
across them.
Jack captured the tip of her thumb between his teeth and
licked it, causing her to moan softly. Releasing her thumb, he cupped her cheek
and pulled her closer to him. He met her halfway and gently kissed her lips.
Before she could let herself enjoy it, he had moved on, trailing his lips and
tongue along her jaw-line to her neck. Sam tilted her head back, allowing him
easier access.
Jack placed his hands on Sam�s shoulders and gently pushed
her back until she lay on the blanket. He stretched out beside her and propped
his head up on one hand. She watched him with so much love in her eyes it took
his breath away.
Starting at her temple, he trailed his fingers lightly
down her face, throat, and onto her chest. He grazed her hardened nipples with
his fingernails, causing her to inhale quickly. He leaned forward and captured
a taut nipple in his mouth, suckling greedily.
He spent many long moments feasting at her breasts, each
nip and light bite caused each exhale to come out a moan.
�Jack, please. I need you inside me�now,� she pleaded with
him.
He slid her panties off and tossed them to the side before
covering her body with his. He positioned himself at her opening and watched as
she closed her eyes.
�Sam,� he said, barely managing to maintain his control.
�Open your eyes baby. I want to watch you.�
Sam forced her eyes to open. She met his gaze as he slowly
slid into her body. This was definitely one of the most intimate moments of their lives. She felt a tear slide
down her face as he buried himself to the hilt.
He cupped her face and kissed her gently before beginning
to move slowly. Sam met him thrust for thrust, maintaining his slow and sensual
pace. Sam wrapped her legs around her husband�s back and locked her ankles
together. Her hands roamed over his back, loving the way his muscles bunched
and tightened as he moved within her.
How long she lay there underneath the man she loved, she
didn�t know. It felt like hours. All she did know was she was in heaven.
Moments like these made everything they did worth it. She gasped as she felt
the buildup begin in her pelvis.
Jack knew she was close. She grasped his ass, pulling him
deeper. �Higher Sam�move your legs higher,� he said, pulling her closer to him.
She unlocked her ankles and moved her legs higher up his
waist before locking them again. The new position caused his pelvis to hit her
clit with every thrust.
�Please Jack!� she gasped out.
�Yessss�� he growled, pounding into her body heavily and
forcefully.
When he felt her orgasm begin, he thrust deep into her
body and held himself still. She went over the edge, crying out his name. The
pull of her internal muscles nearly sent him over the edge. As soon as she lay
limp underneath him, he resumed his movement. It wasn�t long before his orgasm
overtook him. A few sloppy thrusts and he came growling her name.
He collapsed on top of her and buried his head in her
throat. Their breathing was still erratic when he rolled them over, setting her
on top. Sam stretched out over him and laid her head over his heart.
�I love you Sam. I will do whatever it takes to protect
you and Jenny.�
She looked up at him and saw unshed tears in his eyes. She
stroked his cheek softly and kissed him gently. �I love you too, Jack. I just
don�t want you getting hurt because of me.�
He wrapped his arms around her and held her close. He
reached one hand and covered them both with the blanket they were laying on.
The warmth of the fire, and the body on top of him (underneath her) soon had
them both falling asleep.
�I�ll keep you safe�I promise,� he whispered before giving
in to sleep.
<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>
Hours later, they awoke to a
cold cabin. The fire had died down. Jack restarted the fire and he and Sam made
their way to the bedroom. They dressed warmly and crawled into bed. Something
was nagging at Sam. Little did she know that something was nagging at Jack too.
�Sam?� he began as Sam said, �Jack?�
They both laughed. �You first,
honey,� he said.
�I�m gonna go check on Jenny.�
He gave her a strange look. �I
was going to do the same thing. Something just doesn�t feel right.�
At that moment, Jenny screamed,
�Daddy!�
They were both out of the bed,
grabbing their guns, and running into her room in a matter of seconds. Her
bracelet was glowing.
�Oh shit!� said Jack, grabbing
Jenny out of her crib. He held her close, her sobs racking her small body.
He grabbed Sam by the arm and
pulled her close to them as armed men burst through the door, followed by
Kinsey, Pete Shanahan, and Kerry Johnson.
�Give us the child O�Neill and
you and your wife will be spared.�
�You lay one hand on my
daughter�any of you�and there will be nowhere you can hide that I won�t find
you,� said Jack angrily.
�You won�t be able to do
anything if you�re dead, O�Neill. Just give us the child.�
�Don�t touch her!� screamed Sam.
Jack felt Sam grab his arm just as an Asgard beam
transported them out.
�Thor! Perfect timing!� said Jack.
�We received the transmission from the bracelet and acted
immediately.�
�Can you transport them to a planet without a stargate?�
asked Jack.
�Yes,� replied Thor.
�All of them?� asked Sam.
�Yes.�
Jack looked at Sam as she looked at him. They both looked
at the toddler still crying in Jack�s arms.
�Do it,� they both said.
In moments, they were transported to Thor�s ship. Their
guns were mysteriously gone.
�What in God�s name have you done O�Neill?� asked Kinsey.
�I just found a way to protect my family,� said Jack.
�You people are going to be spending a long, long time
together. I hope you enjoy each other�s company,� said Sam.
�General O�Neill has requested that I send you to a planet
without a stargate. I have agreed to this.�
�You bastard!� yelled Pete, lunging at Jack.
Sam quickly took Jenny from Jack as Pete attacked. Jack
dodged and brought the butt of his nine-mil on the back of Pete�s head,
rendering him unconscious. He aimed at Kinsey.
�This seems familiar,� he said. �You will do what I say or
I promise you�Thor will do what I�ve asked.�
�What do you want us to do?� asked Kinsey.
�You will leave my family alone.�
�Done.�
�I�m not finished. You will never darken my door, nor the SGC again�any of you,� he said, looking at Kerry.
�Jack, please,� she began.
�Ah! Don�t even talk to me you bitch. You put your ass in
with them against my family. That is
unforgivable.�
Pete was beginning to come around. �What happened?� he
asked dully.
�If I catch even a whiff of any of you around my family, I
will contact Thor and that will be the end of you�permanently,� continued Jack.
�You can�t threaten me,� said Pete. �I�m not afraid of
you.�
Jack walked up to him and grabbed him by the collar of his
shirt, slamming him into the bulkhead. �I�m not making threats. I�m making
promises. You come anywhere near my wife or my daughter and I�ll kill you myself. Do I make myself clear?�
�Don�t threaten me O�Neill. I�m a cop remember? I can do
things that could make your life a living hell.�
Jack looked at Sam. She nodded. She knew what he was
thinking, because she was thinking the same thing. It was time for Pete to
disappear completely. �Thor?�
�Yes, O�Neill?�
�I want this one sent to a Goa�uld occupied planet. I want
them to know that he�s Tauri.� He thought for a moment. �Preferably
Ba�al.�
�As you wish,� replied Thor. Immediately, Pete
disappeared.
�Now, whomever wishes to follow
the detective, then step forward. Otherwise, have a nice day.�
He nodded to Thor. �Send us home, Thor.�
Thor agreed and Jack and Sam found themselves at home in Colorado Springs. Surprisingly, the tree and all
the gifts had beaten them there.
Jenny was still trembling. Jack looked at Sam. �She sleeps
with us tonight.�
She nodded, unable to speak past the lump in her throat.
�I�m gonna call Daniel and let him know we�re home and
that everything should be fine now.�
�Ok,� she said quietly and sat down heavily on the couch,
her legs unable to support her any longer.
He picked up the phone and dialed Daniel�s number. A very
sleepy Daniel answered the phone.
�Hello?� he mumbled.
�Daniel, it�s Jack.�
He was suddenly very awake. �What�s wrong? What�s
happened?�
�We�re ok, Daniel. We had a little visit from Kinsey and
the Trust. But, they�re not going to bother us again.�
�How can you be sure, Jack?�
�Well, I made a little request of Thor. He already carried
out part of it.�
�And that would be?�
�Shanahan is now on one of Ba�al�s planets.�
�What!� exclaimed Daniel.
�He threatened the lives of my wife and daughter, Daniel.
I�m not taking that lightly.�
�What about Kinsey?�
�He�s still on earth�somewhere. But, I told him, Kerry
Johnson, and the other goons that were with him that, if I ever caught them
around us again, I would have Thor send him to the same planet.�
�You didn�t.�
�I did.�
�God Jack!�
�I told you before Daniel. I will do anything�anything�to keep my family safe�and I
have.�
�Yes, you have.�
�I just thought I�d call you and let you know that
Christmas will be here at the house rather than at the cabin.�
�Ok. Jack?�
�Hmm?�
�Can I go back to sleep now?�
Jack looked at the clock and realized it was way past midnight. �Yes Daniel. Go back to sleep.
We�ll see you guys on Christmas eve.�
�Sure thing.�
Jack hung up the phone and turned to Sam, surprised to see
tears streaming down her face.
He crossed the floor immediately and sat down beside her.
�Sam? Baby, what�s wrong?� He put his arms around her as she cried silently.
�It just hit me, Jack.�
�What baby?� he asked stroking her hair.
�They could�ve done it. If it wasn�t for Thor, they
could�ve taken Jenny and we couldn�t do anything about it.�
�I would�ve hunted them down Sam�one by one�until I found
our daughter. I probably would�ve killed each and every one of them.�
�I know. I would�ve done the same thing too. But, they would�ve
taken her.�
�I know baby. But, thanks to Thor�s gift, she�s
protected�always.�
�I know, but�� he silenced her with a finger against her
lips.
�Sam, she�s protected. That�s all we need to think about.
We can now get on with our lives�you, me, and Jenny.�
�I�m still scared Jack. I�ve never been so scared.�
�I realize that. But, like I said
before. I�m going to protect you�no matter what,� he said softly.
He held her a little longer until she was all cried out.
�You gonna be ok?�
�Yeah, I think so,� she said with a yawn.
�Good,� he said kissing her softly. �Let�s go to bed. It�s Christmas eve tomorrow and we�ve got presents to put
out under the tree tomorrow night.�
She let him pull her to her feet and followed him to their
bedroom. He took Jenny from her and she crawled into bed. He crawled underneath
the covers before putting Jenny between them. A line from the song by Billy
Dean, �Let Them Be Little� started running through his head. �Let them cry, let
them giggle, let them sleep in the middle; oh just let them be little�.
He smiled as he turned over to face Sam. �What�re you
smiling at?�
�You remember that song we heard about a month ago?�
�We�ve heard a lot of songs in the last month, Jack. Be
specific.�
�I think it was called, �let them be little�. I think it
was by Billy Dean.�
Sam smiled in remembrance. �Yeah.
I love that song.�
�Well, the line �Let them cry, let them giggle, let them
sleep in the middle; oh just let them be little� just popped into my head, as
soon as I laid her between us.�
Sam smiled at the sappiness in Jack�s voice. �Let�s get
some sleep, Jack. She�s going to wide awake in about five hours.�
He leaned over and kissed his wife goodnight. �Night Sam.�
�Goodnight Jack,�
They both leaned in and kissed Jenny�s cheeks. �Goodnight
sweetheart,� said Jack.
�Goodnight baby,� said Sam.
Jenny, although asleep, yawned deeply. They both grinned
at each other and gradually fell asleep. They were finally home. They were
finally safe. And if it took the rest of Jack's life, he was going to make sure
they stayed that way.
