AUTHOR'S NOTES: Hello, people. Just thought I'd let you know.....THAT I WANT FEEDBACK. Other than that have a nice day.
Thank you to those who have ever given me feedback it's greatly appreciated.
"Are we going to be having a boring wedding, Jack? I don't want a boring wedding." Sam spoke to her fiancee, she had had enough of the hockey game that was on the tele. It was more boring than Teal'c's speeches. partly due to that fact that Teal'c didn't have many speeches. But if he did, they would be boring. "The wedding won't be boring, baby. Can I get back to the game?"
"Sure. I'm going on patrol , anyway." Sam walked off to get her coat. Jack realised he had said something wrong. Mind you, lately Sam had more moods on her. Hoping it wasn't because she was the slayer. Hoping they would pass. But for the moment he needed to go with the flow.He switched off the game and went to stop her from leaving. "I thought you said you weren't going on patrol, tonight. It was meant to be your night off." said Jack, standing in the doorway, stopping her from making an exit.
"Yeah, well. I thought the hockey game was boring."
"Sam?"
"You said, we would get to talk about our wedding. I didn't realise a hockey game was more important."
"Baby, it's not. I didn't realise that we wouldn't be able to talk after the game." he said, with sarcasm.
"Jack!?! I wanted it to be a night where we wouldn't watch TV. But it's too late now, I'm sure there is a Vampire out there, that I could probably play with for a little while, and then I could come back." she said, putting her coat on.
"Now Sammie, honey. You are not leaving this house."
"How do you intend to stop me?" she said, giving him the eye.
"Sam, please don't go. I promise I will make it up to you." Jack gave her puppy eyes. She looked at him and then looked at the cold weather outside. Since it had turned November, the weather was getting worse. "Okay." she said, and took off her coat. Jack shut the door and pulled Sam into his arms. "D'ya wanna a pizza? We can talk wedding stuff over perperoni." said Jack.
"Yeah, please."
"I'll get the phone." He wasn't going to cook one himself. That would require a brain.
As they had finished their pizza, and they had talked about what date would suit them best. They had both decided that as soon as they spoke to the priest about spare dates they would pick the nearest one. They then went on to how many guest they would have. They decided that only their closest friends would be their. As well as the members of the SGC , as Hammond said, that every SG-unit assigned to the SGC must be at the wedding. Their friends in the scooby gang was one of the first people on the list, The first were Sam's family. Jack's family, SG-1 and Giles and Hammond.
Now they were discussing if they should invite Spike. "We can't invite Spike." said Sam
"I wanna see the disappointment on his face when he realises that you are mine."
"I don't wanna see his face, at all."
"Please."
"No, he'll end up with a stake in him before the day is through. And I don't want to slay anything on that day."
"Okay. I just thought it would be funny."
"Why?"
"Because..." The phone rangSaved by the bellthought Jack. Sam got up to answer the phone.
"Hello........Why?.......It's urgent?......Okay, I'll be there as soon as I can." Sam put the phone down
"Who was that?" asked Jack
"General Hammond." she replied "Apparently Dad needs to see me, badly."
"Trust dad. Well let's go." Sam picked up her coat and they walked out the door.
At the SGC, Jacob sat impatiently in the briefing room. His fingers tapping the desk. Teal'c watched with a curiosity and a raised eyebrow, as Jacob tapped to a specific tune in his head. Finally, Sam and Jack walked into the briefing room. "Dad? What was it that was urgent?" Sam asked.
"Sam, you are going to need to sit down." Sam looked at her father and then sat down. She looked at Giles who also seemed to figit in his chair, uncomfortably. "Sam....what I have to say isn't going to be easy."
"So just say it."
"Well first off, Mark is going to know about the stargate. And my being in the tok'ra."
"Was that really hard to say??"
"Sam, I haven't finished."
"Sorry."
"Not only is your brother going to find out. But so is your sister." Sam looked at him and then at Giles.
"Dad, I haven't got a sister."
"Yes you have."
"No I haven't."
"Her name is Leanne." Sam stared at him.
"How come I have never met her?" Sam could hardly word the sentence.
"Because she lives with.....Jamie Shaw."
"Who is.....um that?" she asked
"Leanne's mother."
"How old is Leanne?" Sam really didn't want to know, but she knew she needed to.
"Leanne is Fourteen." he replied. Sam looked at Jack, and he showed concern for her in his eyes.
"Why are you telling me this now, don't you think it's a little late to tell me you had an affair with somebody else three years after my mother died." she said, more harsely than she had intended.
"Sam? It wasn't an affair."
"Oh., then how come I have never met her. Either of them."
"Jamie and I still see each other, all though our relationship is a little strained now that I don't live on this planet."
"I really don't want to hear this."
"Sam, I told you about Leanne because she wants to meet you and Mark."
"To that end, the president has decided to inform all of Jacob's children that he lives on another planet." said Hammond.
"Really?" said Sam, in shock.
"Yeah." said Jacob
"We are going to brief your brother first Major." said Hammond, "We are waiting for him to arrive."
Mark Carter walked through the corridoor of the strange air force base, under ground, with an escort. Knowing his Dad was going to be here and was Sam, he was alittle concerned by the fact that this was the first time that they had gotten him to come to some daft base. Suddenly breaking him out of thought. "I'm so sorry." said Mark
"It's okay. By the looks of things, you are being dragged here too."
"Yeah. Anyway see ya."
"Yeah." The young girl watched him leave.Oh I hope I get to see you again soon, you are fine. Very fine.Unaware to this girl that man she found attractive was somebody she is very close to all ready.
Mark walked into the briefing room and looked at his Dad, even though he had forgiven the man already, he still didn't like him though. Who likes their father, anyway. He then noticed Sam and smiled at her. She smiled back, she looked a little angry, yet upset. "So what's going on? And somebody explain to me why I am in an Air Force base." Mark looked at his father and Jacob said
"Sit down, Mark."
"Not quite the answer I was looking for." Mark sat down. He looked at Sam, she just looked at her Dad.
"Okay, first off there's alot we need to talk about."
A full hour later, they had discussed the StarGate, the Tok'Ra and Jacob living on another planet.
"Okay, so let me get this straight." Said Mark. Standing up and walked near the window. "That out there is a Stargate. Right? Which travels through space. Sam is a part of SG-1 , which is some team which go on little day trips to other planets. Also Dad lives on another planet."
"He's got that bit." said Jack, looking very fed-up.
"Why are you telling me all this, anyway."
"Because you are allowed to learn about that as your father has some other important news to tell you." said Hammond
"What that he is also an alien?" Mark said in a sarcastic tone. Mark then noticed that every body's faces looked kinda serious. They weren't laughing. "What?" he said.
"Mark, I have a tok'ra symbiote inside me." Jacob said, looking at his son.
"What, you mean one of those ugly things in Teal'c's belly."
"Yeah." said Jack
"Okay, I will accept that that huge wedding ring out there will send you to another planet. I will accept that Sam is part of a space man team, that travel to other planets. I will accept that you live on another planet but I will not accept that you are an alien. I don't believe it. I won't believe it."
"Mark, he is telling the truth." said Sam.
"Really?"
"Yes really."
"No, I mean he doesn't sound like an alien, and if he did have one in him, how come it hasn't spoken yet." Jacob lowered his head and lifted it back up.
"If you are referring to me, I decided not to speak to allow you privacy." Mark jumped back when he heard Salmak speak. "Woah, feaky." Jaocb lowered his head again and regained control.
"But that's not all I have to tell you."
"Please no more. My brain will overload."
"You have a sister."
"Of course I do. She's sitting just there." Mark said. Pointing to Sam, who couldn't help but smile at that remark.
"No, you have another sister."
"Yeah right. If I did, how come I have never met her. Correct me if I'm wrong, But I am the oldest. I even remember when mum was pregnant with Sam. I think I'd remember another one."
"No, that's because.....her mother, isn't your mum."
"What are you saying?"
"Her name is Leanne Shaw. She wants to meet you. She is about to be told about the Stargate as well."
"You're going to put her through that?"
"Mark?"
"Tell me, does she know you?"
"Yes."
"Then how come we never knew her. Sam, you didn't know her."
"I still haven't met her, Mark."
"Oh, see. So you lied to us both, huh?"
"I didn't lie. I never said that I hadn't had another child."
"But you didn't say you had either."
"Mark? Just meet her. She is really a nice girl."
"How old is she?"
"14."
"14??? Well that means that she was born after...."
"Yes." At that moment Leanne Shaw walked through the door.
"Hi Dad."
"Hi. Have a seat, honey." Leanne walked upto the table and chose a seat next to Jack. Sam couldn't help but stare at the young girl. "Hey, you're the person I bumped into." said Mark
"Hey, yeah. Pleased to meet you again. So dad where are they I want to meet them. I'm desperate, now. You've had me waiting in that stinky room, for ages." Leanne said, full of excitement to meet the rest of her family.
"Well that man you bumped into is Mark." said Jacob, Leanne stood up in shock.
"Geez. You could have told me."
"I didn't know." said Mark.
"And this is Sam." Sam just stared at her.
"Hi." she managed to say. Leanne smiled.
"So you are the brainy one." Jack grinned and answered for Sam
"Oh yeah, she is brainy." Sam smiled.
When Leanne had been told they all went to the control room , to see the Stargate work. "So how does it work?" Leanne, asked.
"It......works." said Jack. Leanne gave a little sarcastic laugh and walked upto Sam. Jack listened to her explanantion of the stargate, and watched Leanne's face light up. Mark actually looked confused.
"Brill!" he exclaimed
"What?" asked Jacob
"Another brainy sister. Tell me she isn't a....well. A Slayer."
"You know that Sam is a slayer?" asked Jacob disgusted.
"I always have." said Mark "So when did you find out?"
"This year."
"Well."
"How come you knew?" asked Jack
"Well she told me....She had too. I found out really, when she was sneaking out the window."
"What?" asked Jacob.
"You do remember that you grounded her. And apparently she desperately needed to stop some demon from doing.... something."
"You are grounded." shouted Jacob, so that his daughter realised his authority
"Dad! I really NEED to go." replied Sam, just as loud
"I know I know, but it won't hurt you to spend at least one night in the house, will it. All you ever do is go out."
"Dad, please?"
"No, that is my final answer." Jacob left the room, closing the door behind him. Sam looked around the room for a minute, she then went to her cupboard and pulled out a box. She opened it and used a bag and filled the bag up with weapons. She then opened the window, suddenly she felt a warm hand on her shoulder. She turned around to see her brother, Mark. "You never saw me." she stated.
"Look, I'll say that if you tell me where you are going."
"I can't it's a secret."
"Please, I promise I won't tell a soul."
"I'm the slayer. I need to go."
"The.....who....what?"
"Slayer, chosen one. Very important. Have to go and Save the world. See ya."
"Can I come? So that I know what the hell it is your talking about."
"Well no....Can you climb out of windows?" They both climbed out the window. As they walked down the street she said "As soon as you understand you must go. It's dangerous."
"Why the hell did you let her go?" asked Jacob
"Because...she is my sister....and at the time, we both hated you."
"Nice answer." answered Jack. He earned a glare from Jacob "Sorry."
"If you want to be in my good books, I suggest you watch it." said Jacob "After all you are going to be my son in law. I could always ground you as well."
"Your Jack?" asked Mark
"Thats's me."
"I've heard tonnes about you."
"I bet you have." They got interrupted by Leanne.
"Excuse me, but look at that." she pointed to the open stargate. "Isn't it.....just...wow."
"Yep, it's wow, alright." said Jack, grinning at the excitment that radiated from her. Looking like Sam in a little way.
"Can we go through it?" she asked
"Afraid not." said Hammond. "That is up the the president."
"Can I touch it?" she asked
"Yes. I don't see why not." Hammond, smiled. Leanne walked upto Sam
"Will you take me?"
"Sure." she said. As they walked off Mark decided to follow.
In the 'gate room, Leanne and Mark couldn't even walk up the ramp. Sam smiled and looked up at the control room. Then the 'gate disengaged. "What happened?" asked Leanne
"It deactivated." Sam replied. Looking at them as they continued to stare at the stargate.
Sam walked into the infirmary, holding her stomach. Janet walked upto her and immediately showed concern. "Sam, what's wrong?"
"I've been sick...again."
"Well I'm still waiting for you blood test results, okay."
"No, not really."
"They'll be here, very soon."
"When?"
"Come back in about 5 hours, okay?"
"Alright." Sam walked back out, still feeling sick.
"Hey?" said Jack, as he put his head around the corner and then walked into Sam's lab. "Whatcha doing?" he asked
"Thinking." she replied. He sat beside her, on another stool
"About doohickeys?" he asked
"No!"
"What about?"
"Dad." There was silence "He didn't even trust me to tell me that he loved somebody else. It's not like I would've stayed angry, or staked him. I'm sure I would have accepted it, if he told me."
"Sam, I don't think that's why he didn't tell you." he said, quietly
"Why then?"
"Well you'd not long lost your mother, maybe he didn't want you to think that he had forgotton her."
"I'm not somebody who wouldn't have forgiven him for having feelings."
"I know that. I'm sure he has reasons."
"Maybe."
"Hey, I bet he'll tell you why, if you go and talk to him."
"You're right." she said, and she stood up. And left.
"Well Sam, it turns out there is nothing wrong with you what-so-ever." said Janet, closing the folder of results. "Well...why am I being sick, then?"
"You're pregnant Sam, about 7 weeks along." Sam looked shocked for a second
"I....er...."
"Sam, do you wanna sit down?" Janet fetched her a chair. "Here you go."
"Thanks....um....I'm...baby?"
"I'm not quite sure I understand that question. Is it a slayer language." Sam smiled
"No...Am I really....pregnant?"
"Yep. Go...tell Jack. Be happy." Sam stood up and smiled at Janet and then walked out.
Jacob Carter walked upto Leanne who was sitting in the commonsary. "Hi dad." she said.
"Hey, how come your mother didn't come?" he asked
"I don't know, she's busy alot lately."
"Oh, well....I was meant to be meeting Sam, do you know where she is?"
"Yeah, she went to see Jack. Are the two of them involved?"
"They're engaged."
"Oh...okay. Are you and mom getting married?"
"No, honey. That's not possible."
"Because you're an alien."
"Well...er...yeah."
"Oh.It doesn't matter. I was just hoping that maybe if you did...get married....then mom wouldn't be away so much."
"She stays away?"
"Yeah, because she has a job...or something."
"Okay." Jacob decided to stay with Leanne instead of meeting Sam.
Sam knocked on the door and when she heard the faint sound of 'Come in', she walked in, closing the door behind her. "Jack." she said.
"Oh hi, babe." Jack took in her appearence "Are you okay?" he stood up and went to help her sit down.
"You still being sick, huh?"
"Jack, I don't know how to say this."
"Well just say it."
"Well we're pregnant."
"We are?" Jack found himself feeling pretty excited.
"Yeah."
"So why the glum face?"
"Aside from the fact I still feel sick. I'm a little worried that this isn't a good thing."
"Why?" He kneeled beside her on the floor.
"Because I'm the Slayer. I have responsiblity's and other than that. When I start to show I really won't be able to do my job."
"You mean slay."
"Yes...."
"Is that only why?"
"Well I'm not sure a Slayer has ever had a baby before. Maybe something bad might happen."
"Sam, how could that happen?"
"It normally does."
"Well it won't."
"It would be dangerous."
"Why?"
"Well say a Vampire kicks me, in the stomach. I would have a miscarriage. That's something I don't want."
"It's not like you're the only slayer,is it. Buffy can sweat for a while, until you can carry on. I tell you what talk to Giles, he's your watcher. I'm sure he'll be able to answer all your questions about danger."
"Okay." she replied. "I was actually going to do that."
"You were?"
"I wanted to tell you first." Jack kissed her and said
"I love you. Thank you for telling me first....so who else knows." Sam laughed
"Janet. But that's because she told me."
Sam walked upto Giles and shocked him by tapping him on the shoulder. "God! Sam, do you have to?" he said, jumping.
"Sorry, can we talk?"
"Sure." Giles walked into another room, and Sam sat down.
"What I wanted to say was........." Sam couldn't finish, she looked at him and spoke quietly.
"Sam? Why don't you just tell me?" said Giles. Taking a seat that was close to hers.
"I'm pregnant, and i wanted to know if........."
"Having a baby as a slayer is dangerous?" he finished for her
"Yeah." Sam couldn't believe he knew.
"Well I won't lie to you, it's not easy. But it can be done. Although it has never been done. Sam don't forget you are the first Slayer to reach 30 years of age. I think you'll find that you're life is now going to take a course that other slayers don't normally get to reach."
"That's what I'm confused about."
"Why?"
"I keep thinking that perhaps this part of my life is going to be more dangerous. And having a baby might be worse. What if while I'm fighting something really bad happens."
"Sam, in a few months I don't think you'll be fighting anyway. I wouldn't let you go out on patrol in a condition such as that."
"That's it, it's a condition."
"Sam, trust me. Everything will be fine. I'm sure Jack has told you the same thing."
"He has."
"There you go." Sam nodded, but didn't move "Something else is bothering you?" he asked
"Yeah, it's my dad and this family thing. I don't understand why he didn't tell me. And don't you dare say ask him, That's what Jack said I should do. But when I was going to meet him, he wasn't there."
"Sam.....I hate to say this but you should ask him."
"Giles. Today is just a bad day, isn't it?"
"Well, in a way. But that would depend on how you look at it."
"Oh."
"Yeah, it's a good day in the fact that you have found out that you are pregnant. You have a sister. True that part of that is bad, but...."
"She is a nice girl." Said Sam, quietly
"She is. Sam whether this day is a good day or a bad day. I promise you, the ending of this day will be a good one."
"Thank you...I think." Sam stood up, and gave Giles a cuddle.
Leanne Shaw must have walked for ages, looking for her sister. When she finally found her, Sam was sitting in her lab, working. "Hi." said Leanne, walking in. Waving.
"Hello, Leanne." replied Sam. Leanne slowly sat down and watched Sam type on her computer.
"Whatcha doing?" Leanne asked.
"I'm writing a report, what you doing?"
"I watching you...Actually I was wondering if I could talk to you about your mother." Sam's head jerked up as she looked at her sisters face. "What was it you wanted to say?" she asked
"I just wanted to know, if she was like my mother."
"I never met your mother." said Sam.
"I know, but my mother never stays at home, and when I see her, she is acting strangely. Was your mum like that?"
"No....where does she go?" asked Sam
"She has this job....It's nothing important." Sam noticed that Leanne added that last bit a little too quick. "Why is it not important?" Sam asked
"I don't even know what her job is." said Leanne.
"Why not?"
"Because....I'm not old enough to know."
"Why? How can you not be old enough?" asked Sam
"I don't know, somthing...I can't say."
"Leanne?" asked Sam.
"If I told you, would you help me?"
"Okay."
"Do I have to tell you here?" she asked
"I'm going on pa....for a walk. Do you wanna come?"
"Yes, okay." Leanne followed Sam out of her lab.
"So do you always come for walks in the cemetary?" asked Leanne.
"Yeah, but there is a reason why. It's just there were SF's at the door."
"Yeah they follow me, every where. What's the reason?"
"You'll see." Said Sam, as a Vampire came running out of the trees. Sam quickly staked him and looked at Leanne who was in shock. "I'm a Slayer." Said Sam.
"Oh wow...What's one of them?"
"Well that was a Vampire." replied Sam.
"Did you know that you are pregnant?" Leanne asked suddenly
"How did you know that?"
"I can tell. I've always been able to tell." Sam smiled.
"So tell me what is it that you need my help with?"
"My mother, she has this wierd place, where she goes. She says it's where she works but the number I was given doesn't always work, and I can never find her." said Leanne.
"Well what's the number?" she asked, Leanne showed her the number
"That's a phone number?" said Sam, disbelievingly.
"Why?"
"I tell you what let's look the number up, shall we?"
"Okay." Sam took Leanne to her house.
In the house they found Jack in front of the TV. "Hey." he said, greeting them at the door. "You're early."
"I know. We've just come to look for something." said Sam.
"Hello kid, how ya doing?"
"I'm fine, you'll have a kid of your own soon." replied Leanne
"I know. Great huh?"
"Yeah. So I'll be an aunty." Leanne said excitedly
"You already are an aunty." said Sam, as they sat down at the table, with the phone books.
"I am?" Leanne looked shocked
"Mark has two kids." said Jack "You should see 'em. They are really good children." Jack looked at them, as they began looking in the books. "What are you kids doing?" he asked
"We're looking for that nurmber, help us?" said Sam. Jack sat with them
"Of course I will, baby." Jack began looking through the books with them.
They had been looking for about 45 minutes, when Sam finally found the number. "Hey, I've found them." she said, excitedly. As they were about to give up hope.
"It says, the number is for a woman named Jamie Shaw."
"That's my mom." said Leanne excitedly "Why doesn't it always work?"
"It says see page 101." said Sam, she then went to that page. Sam's face dropped when she found what she was looking for. "What is it?" asked Leanne, Sam wouldn't answer. Jack looked at her with a worried look, he then exchanged glances with Leanne. "Sam, do you mind filling us in?" said Jack
"Oh my!" she exclaimed. Jack took the book off her and his face fell as well.
"Will you people tell me? Or not?" asked Leanne.
"Oh god! She....er...." said Sam. Or at least she tried to speak
"What?" Leanne was desperate.
"Can she...is that...should we tell her?" said Jack ,to Sam
"Yes you should." said Leanne. Desperation filling her voice
"Well yes. I think we should." said Sam. "Leanne why don't you come and read this." Leanne walked upto them and read what they had read. "Is that when....she....does that....for...money." Leanne was shocked. All Jack and Sam could do was nod. "My god!" said Leanne "I suspected it might be something that was...similar to that....but not that." Sam couldn't say a thing.
"Listen kid, the best thing to do, would be to talk to your mum. I bet she would like to see you anyway. She probably on does this for money. And then she probably doesn't. We can't judge her, because we found her in a phone book. You must speak to her, your self. Get the answers that you are looking for." said Jack. Sam just sat open mouthed at her fiancee.
"Where the hell did that come from?" she asked
"What?" said Jack innocently. Sam smiled
"He's right. I'll take you. So that Dad knows that you are not on you're own." said Sam, Leanne nodded. Still thinking about what Jack had said.
Leanne stood next to Sam on her doorstep, afraid to knock. "Well, go on then." Sam turned to the car, and shrugged at Jack. Leanne then knocked. The woman who answered looked shocked to find them on the door. "Hello. Leanne who is this?" she asked
"Mom, this is my sister." said Leanne. "Her name is Sam."
"As in Samantha." said her mother. Opening the door to allow them in. "I knew your father was going to show you something but not this."
"Mrs Shaw. I just came to make sure she made it safely. She wishes to speak to you, so I'll wait elsewhere if you like." said Sam, more nervous than ever. Sam was taking in Leanne's mother appearence. How could her father want her? She even looked like a slut.
"No, please Sam stay." pleaded Leanne.
"Okay." said Sam, not liking it one bit. Leanne sat down, then Sam followed her. Her mother stood with her arms folded. "Come on, kid, speak before I loose my temper."
"Well, we found your number in the phone book....and it says that you....." There was a knock on the door. "Excuse me." her mother said, and she went to answer the door. Leanne and Sam listened to her conversation. "I have an appointment." said the male visitor
"Yes, I know. And I promise as soon as my daughter is not here...."
"No. I want what I paid for, now!"
"Look, I can't."
"I paid you."
"I know. I'll pay you back."
"I want it in interest."
"Fine. Just leave, now!" Jamie Shaw closed the door and went back into the living room. "I'm really sorry about that."
"So it's true isn't it?" Leanne sobbed.
"What is?" asked her mother
"That men pay you to have sex."
"Oh Leanne, it's not quite what you think." started her mother
"How can it not be what I think?"
"Leanne, we are broke, we have nothing."
"You could have got a job." shouted Leanne
"That is a job."
"No it's not."
"Leanne, I.....you're right. I do tend to do it for what you think. But since your father left, I've had problems."
"He left you?" asked Sam, speaking for the first time, in ages.
"Yes."
"That's no excuse." shouted Leanne, crying.
"No it's not. But If I don't do this, I loose my job. I trust you know what that means."
"You won't be a slut anymore." said Leanne.
"Who the hell taught you to speak to your mother like that, Leanne Shaw." Her mom was angry.
"It's Leanne Carter." Leanne then walked out of the house and into the car. Sam looked at jamie with shock. "Oh." said Sam
"Could you do me a favour?" asked Jamie
"OH, what's that?" asked Sam
"Look after my daughter. I assume you don't mind. Until I can get another job." Sam didn't know what to say. "Well I could. But....I tell you what here's my cell phone number. Call me." Sam then walked out. She got in the car and sighed. "What?" asked Jack
"Oh dear." said Sam
"Are you two gonna make me stay?" asked Leanne
"Well, Jamie asked my to look after you." said Sam
"Oh. Can you? Are you?" Jack started the engine.
"Of course we will." Jack grinned at Sam, who smiled.
"So was it a good day, or a bad day?" asked Giles, Sam looked up at her watcher and smiled
"I think it was a good day for me. A bad day for Leanne maybe. A Great day for Jack. A good day for Dad." replied Sam. She picked up the drink, Giles had made her.
"See, I told you." said Giles, he was about to say more but as Sam lifted her drink to her mouth she dropped the mug and ran out of the room. Giles shook his head. For Sam this was going to be a very trying time in her life.
