Alternate Universe
A hospital in Minnesota, USA
Eight months after Janet’s departure

Nobody had received news from Janet since the day she had left the SGC. They had no way of finding her, not without violating her right for a private life.

She seemed to be gone for real.

Daniel had not been himself since Janet’s disappearance. He did his work very professionally, but it didn’t have the same passion as before. Worried about their friend, Jack, Teal’c and Sam had decided to take Daniel to Jack’s fishing cabin in Minnesota. However, Jack had a small accident during a walk in the forest. He had slipped and hit his head really hard. He had a concussion, therefore the others had decided to bring the colonel to the hospital, to make sure that everything was fine. That was why they were at the hospital.

Jack was examined, and the doctors said he was not in danger. However, the doctors decided to keep him under observation for a couple of hours, just to be on the safe side.

Teal’c stayed outside Jack’s hospital bedroom, guarding his friend’s room. There was no reason to guard the room, but Teal’c wanted to do it for O’Neill. He felt better doing that rather than doing nothing at all. Further, the Jaffa was moved by his loyalty towards Jack. Inside the room, Sam didn’t want to leave Jack either. Daniel left Sam and Jack, to give them some privacy. When Daniel announced that he was just going to take a walk, Teal’c asked Daniel if he required his company. Daniel reassured the Jaffa that he would be coming soon. There was no reason to worry about him. Teal’c was relieved, since he didn’t feel like leaving Jack’s room unguarded.

Daniel was walking towards the cafeteria to buy some coffee when he noticed Cassie. She was sitting in a waiting room, alone. Cassie saw Daniel, and ran to great him.

”Daniel! You came! How did you know?” she said, hugging him.

“Hi Cassie,” he said, extremely happy to see her. He realized that if Cassie was there, then Janet must not be far. Daniel took a look around, but there was no sign of the doctor.

“Where is your mother?” he asked Cassandra, concerned by Janet’s absence.

”You… you don’t know?!” exclaimed the girl.

“Know what?” Daniel was really puzzled.

Suddenly, a nurse came and talked to Daniel and Cassie. “Congratulations, it is a boy. You can see him at the nursery” said the nurse, leaving after her announcement.

“Janet had a baby?” asked Daniel, astonished by this revelation.

“Yes, and you’re the father… but don’t tell mom that I told you or she’ll kill me!”

Daniel was too shocked to talk. ‘Did I hear that right? Me, a father?’ he thought.

“Come,” said Cassandra taking Daniel’s hand before he could escape. He followed her to the nursery. When they arrived, Cassie asked to see the Frasier baby. The nurse showed a baby whose crib said clearly “Andrew Frasier”

Daniel was truly amazed by the baby. Everything else was forgotten, except little Andrew.

“He is so cute!” said Cassie, smiling from ear to ear.

“He… he is wonderful!” said Daniel, pride coming to him as he looked at his son.

He had been really touched by Sha’reh’s baby when he had been born, but this was different. Andrew was of Daniel’s blood.

Moments later, the nurse came and told them that they could now see Janet.

Daniel was nervous at the idea of seeing Janet again, especially after all that had happened. But, at the same time, he was looking forward to seeing her. He had not stopped thinking about her during these last months. Janet’s absence made him realize how much she meant to him. It wasn’t the same when another doctor examined him after the missions. She wasn’t there anymore to listen to him when Daniel needed someone to talk to. He missed her presence dearly. And now, all of the sudden, he was going to see her again. This thought filled him with happiness.

Cassandra opened the door of her mother’s hospital room. Janet was still weak from labor, but she seemed fine otherwise.

“Hi, sweetie,” said Janet when she saw her daughter.

“Hi, mom. Look who I found!” she said taking Daniel’s hand and forcing him to face Janet.

“Daniel!” Janet exclaimed, pleasantly surprised.

“Hi, Janet,” said Daniel with a nervous smile.

“What are you doing here? I mean, how did you know?” asked Janet. She was curious, and obviously not mad at seeing Daniel in the room.

“Yes, how come you were in this hospital, Daniel?” asked Cassie, realizing that she didn’t know the answer.

“ I didn’t know that you two were here until I saw Cassie,” Daniel started explaining. “Teal’c, Sam, Jack and I came to Minnesota for a weekend at Jack’s fishing cabin. Jack fell and got a concussion during a walk in the woods, so we had to rush him to this hospital.”

“That’s similar to what happened to us. We were in Minnesota for a small vacation, but Andrew decided to arrive a bit sooner. So, here we are,” said Cassandra.

Daniel smiled realizing how lucky he was. If Andrew had not decided to come to the world now, then Daniel would never have found Janet and Cassie again.

It had to be fate.

“Wait a second! Teal’c, Sam and Jack are here? And is Jack okay?” asked Janet unbelieving what she had heard.

“Yes, they are here in this hospital. And yes, Jack is fine. The doctors are keeping him for only a few hours under observation, just in case. But they don’t foresee a problem,” said Daniel, reassuring her.

“I’m glad to hear that Jack is fine,” said Janet.

“Mom, can I go to see them?” asked Cassie. She had realized that Daniel and Janet needed to talk without her presence.

“Sure sweetheart,” said Janet, then she turned to the archeologist “Where are they, Daniel?”

Daniel explained to Cassie how to get to Jack’s room.

“I bet they’ll be surprised!” said Cassie.

“You bet,” agreed Daniel, laughing.

Cassie left to meet with Teal’c, Sam and Jack.



Jack’s hospital room

Sam was sitting in a chair besides Jack’s hospital bed. Jack opened his eyes, awakening from his sleep.

Sam approached, and held his hand.

“How do you feel, Jack?” Her face was filled with emotion as she thought that she could have lost him for real.

“I feel better, Sam.”

“You scared me,” she said.

“Me?” said Jack, giving Sam his best innocent look. Sam smiled. He always had a way to make her heart melt.

“And how can I correct this?” asked Jack, mischievous.

“Like this,” she said, kissing him. He responded to her kiss, feeling very alive now.

Teal’c opened the door at that moment. “Major Carter, O’Neill! Look who is here!” he exclaimed as Cassie entered the room.

“Hello! ” she exclaimed. “Oh, I’ll come back,” she said as she realized that Teal’c and her had interrupted Sam and Jack’s kiss.

Their embarrassment at having been caught kissing changed to a deep surprise when Sam and Jack saw Cassandra. Of course, they were wondering how come that Cassandra was at this hospital. But they were nonetheless very happy to see the girl.

“Cassie!” said Sam, hugging her.

“Hello, Sam! Hello, Jack.”

“Hi Cassie,” said Jack, trying to forget that she had interrupted them.

Teal’c, Sam and Jack wanted to know everything about what had happened to Janet and Cassie, and she satisfied their curiosity.


Janet’s hospital room

“So, what have you been doing?” asked Daniel after Cassie left the room to see Teal’c, Sam and Jack.

“Oh! I went to Virginia after leaving the SGC,” answered Janet. “I found a job at a hospital. Well, I almost didn’t get it. They said they had no open position for a doctor when I went to see them. I think they were worried about my pregnancy. I wasn’t showing yet, but I had to tell them for health security reasons.” Daniel nodded his head in understanding before she continued. ”Anyway, there was a bus accident later that day. So, they were in need of medical personnel to deal with that emergency. They called me back, and gave me a permanent job after seeing my work,” she explained.

Daniel smiled. Knowing Janet’s professionalism, there was no doubt that they had been eager to hire her, no matter what.

The nurse arrived at that moment with little Andrew. “Time for a meal,” said the nurse presenting the baby to Janet, and made sure everything was fine before leaving.

Daniel went to the door, about to leave so that Janet could have some privacy, because she was going to breast-feed Andrew.

“Daniel… You don’t have to leave if you don’t want to,” said Janet.

Daniel turned, saw the baby and smiled. “He is amazing, Janet” said Daniel with pride. He approached the mother and baby. Andrew started eating hungrily.

“He looks like you,” continued Daniel.

“And he looks like his father as well,” said Janet.

“Yes, he does,” said Daniel simply.

Janet understood that Cassie must have told him the truth. At the beginning of her pregnancy, Janet had not known what to tell Cassie about the baby’s father. Finally, Janet had realized that her daughter deserved to know the truth. Therefore, Janet had told her daughter that Daniel was the father.

“Janet, why didn’t you tell me?” asked Daniel, referring to the baby.

“I couldn’t, Daniel. I couldn’t let you take responsibility for my mistake.”

“Is that what you call this?” said Daniel looking at Andrew.

”Of course not! Along with Cassandra, he is the best thing that ever happened me! My mistake was to take advantage of you while you were mourning Sha’reh and suffering from all that happened with her son!”

“No, Janet. It is me who took advantage of you! I kissed you first,” said Daniel.

“I kissed you back!” replied Janet.

They laughed as they realized how silly this sounded. It was a healing laughter for both of them.

“Janet,” said Daniel becoming serious again, “The last eight months were really awful for me because I had no idea of what had happened to you. I have to say that I really missed you.”

“Daniel…you don’t have to say things like that if you don’t mean them.”

“But I mean them! I did miss you,” exclaimed Daniel, wanting her to believe him.

Janet felt Daniel’s sincerity, and was truly touched. “I… missed you too,” admitted Janet. Indeed, she had missed him. Leaving Daniel was the hardest thing she had ever done. It had seemed like the right thing to do at the time. Later, Janet had realized that she really missed him, but she feared to return to the SGC after all that had happened. So, she had stayed away until fate brought Daniel back to her life.

“So, what happens now?” asked Daniel.

“Well, I feel right now pretty silly about leaving the SGC and not having this discussion before. I guess I will be back to the SGC, if General Hammond allows it,” said Janet.

“Great. And what about us?”

Baby Andrew had stopped eating and had fallen asleep. Not knowing how to react to Daniel’s question, Janet stood up and put the baby in his crib. “Us?” she said as she covered her baby.

“Yes, Janet. We’re the parents of a beautiful boy. I want to be part of his life,” said Daniel, caressing the baby’s hand.

“And you will be part of his life as much as you want,” confirmed Janet.

”And will WE play a part in each other’s life?” he asked finally.

“If you want to,” said Janet with a shy smile.

”I want to,” said Daniel looking at her, his eyes showing all his caring for her.

”Me too.” She approached him and, this time, she kissed him first.



General Hammond was happy to hear that Janet was ready to come back to the SGC. He had not really believed that his resignation was a permanent one. So, he gladly gave her back her Medical Chief position. Janet left her position at the Virginia hospital as well, therefore everything was ready for her return.

The news of Janet’s return and Andrew’s birth spread quickly at the base. But the biggest gossip around the base was that Doctor Daniel Jackson was the baby’s father. Further, the doctor and the archeologist had started dating, and were obviously falling deeply in love every day. General Hammond, Teal’c, Sam and Jack could not have been more happy for them. After all they had been through, Daniel and Janet deserved happiness.



Two and a half months after Andrew’s birth

It had been two weeks since Janet was back officially at the SGC after her maternity leave, which had been granted by the Air Force. She was at the infirmary when the sirens turned on, and a voice started shouting that there was an off-world wormhole activation. Janet had finished for now what she had to do at the infirmary, so she went to the control room to see what was going on. General Hammond and SG-1 were already there.

“We have a signal… It’s the Tok’ra,” announced the technician.

“Open the Iris,” ordered General Hammond. He walked towards the embarkation room, accompanied by SG-1 and Janet.

When they arrived, the shimmering blue light of an active wormhole welcomed them. Two Tok’ra came through the Stargate, plus Jacob Carter, host to Selmak.

“General Hammond, please meet Leri host to Sham’uc and Yevi host to Kel’rac,” said Selmak, introducing the two other Tok’ra.

“Welcome to Earth,” said General Hammond. The Tok’ra thanked him.

Selmak bent his head, switching to the host. “George,” said Jacob Carter looking uneasy. “We bring bad news.”

“Do you people ever bring another kind of news?” said Jack, with his usual sarcastic touch.

“Jack, I am not joking. This is serious,” replied Jacob.

“Let’s go to the briefing room,” invited General Hammond.


They arrived to the briefing room shortly after that, and took their seats.

“Well, what is the bad news?” asked General Hammond.

“About a week ago, we found out that the Tok’ra Ruiyac was in fact a Goa’uld spy,” explained Selmak.

“Oh, here we go! You guys just have the best security in the universe,” said Jack, unable to stop himself.

Selmak did his best to ignore the colonel. “As soon as this was discovered, we got word to our Tok’ra operatives. We asked them to find out what the spy could have told the Goa’uld. The news they brought us is upsetting. We already knew that Apophis got really mad when he learned that Amaunet’s son had escaped him, thanks to Doctor Jackson. However, Apophis learned from the Goa’uld spy that Doctor Jackson has now a son of his own, Andrew Jackson Frasier. We have good reasons to believe that Apophis will take his vengeance by kidnapping Andrew and raising him to be his future host.”

”No!” said Janet, face pale with shock.

Daniel didn’t look better. They held hands, trying to find some comfort from that gesture. They would face this together, no matter what would happen.

“Does that mean that Apophis is planning an attack on Earth just to kidnap a single baby?” asked General, who was shocked as well.

“That’s exactly what we mean, General Hammond,” confirmed Selmak. He wasn’t happy about bringing this news to the Tau’ri, but he had to. It was a very important news, whose consequences could greatly affect the future events.

“Do we have an idea of when this attack will take place?” asked Jack.

“Most probably, Apophis will attack as soon as possible,” answered Teal’c. The Tok’ra agreed with the Jaffa.

“We have to do something!” exclaimed Janet, extremely worried about all this.

“First of all, I think we need to put Andrew in a safe place,” said Hammond.

“But where can we find a place sure enough?” asked Sam.

An idea came to Daniel. “I know where… We send him to a parallel universe using the quantum mirror we found on P3R-223,” suggested Daniel.

“Perfect. Apophis will never find him there,” said Janet, supporting Daniel’s idea.

“All right. Doctor Jackson and Doctor Frasier, you make the necessary preparations and send Andrew to a safe parallel universe as soon as possible. Meanwhile, I’ll contact the President and Joint Chiefs to see what we can do to prevent the Goa’uld attack…and how we could fight it if necessary,” said the General.

“General, I want to ensure you that the Tok’ra are ready to help you as much as we can,” said Selmak.

“Thank you. All right people, there is too much to do and very little time. Dismissed.”


Area 51

Later that day, Janet and Daniel were at Area 51. They had with them a small crib and inside it was Andrew. Daniel had written a note which was going to accompany the baby. They had decided that it was best to hide that Janet was the baby’s mother, in case the note came to wrong hands. If Apophis learned that Andrew was Janet’s son and that the baby had escaped, then Cassie could be in danger as well. Apophis’ vengeance could move to the girl. It was a risk Daniel and Janet didn’t want to take.

Daniel turned on the quantum mirror with the device that commanded it. He started looking for a safe parallel universe among those under-Goa’uld-attack universes.

He finally found one that satisfied him. “I think this is it,” he said.

“Are you sure?” asked Janet, taking her baby in her arms. The baby was crying, as if he felt that something was about to happen.

“Yes.”

Janet started singing a lullaby to the baby, calming him down. Daniel approached and gently caressed the baby’s cheek with his free hand. Neither of them felt ready to let Andrew go. They were worried about the possibility of never seeing Andrew again.

“We will see him again,” said Daniel trying to reassure himself, looking for the strength to send his son away. “There shouldn’t be a problem unless the quantum mirror is turned off,” he continued.

“Not very reassuring,” remarked Janet.

Daniel looked at her and at Andrew. With Cassie, they had become his family and he didn’t want to see this family separated. But there was no other option.

A sergeant came in at this point. “General Hammond asks if it is done,” he said, passing on the message.

Slowly, Janet put the note and the baby inside the crib. Daniel hid the quantum mirror control device in the pocket of his jacket. After that, he took the crib with one hand, and Janet’s hand with his other hand. Together, they stepped through the quantum mirror.

A couple of minutes later, Daniel and Janet were back to their reality to prepare for a Goa’uld attack, hoping that baby Andrew would be fine where they had sent him.
