"And then Maggie told me...mommy? Are you listening?"
Fred looked down at Alex as she shifted Chase on her hip. They were currently walking through one of the corridors of the city, on their way to the Gate room to greet Carson and Caitlin. Nodding, she gave her daughter a smile. "I'm listening. What did Maggie say?" she asked as Chase started to tangle his fingers in her hair.
"Ummmm...I forget but it was funny!" Alex said before she hopped a few times.
Shaking her head, Fred led Alex over to the nearest transporter. Since Aislin had came down with a nasty case of the flu, the daycare center was closed for the day. So, after Alex's morning lessons, Fred had went to pick her and Chase up. After they were finished seeing Carson and Caitlin, and after some lunch, Jennie and Tim were going to take them to the mainland so Fred could finish up some of her work.
When they got to the Gate room John was there, along with Sam, Jack and Daniel. The moment Alex saw her dad, she squealed and ran over to him before jumping on his legs. "Daddy! Guess what?!" she said as she bounced around.
Fred softly laughed, wondering if Alex was going to remember what she wanted to tell her. As she stood there, Chase started to lean to the side and Fred automatically assumed the little boy wanted to go to John but he was pointing at Sam instead. "You want to see Sam?" she asked. Chase nodded so Fred stepped over to Sam and slipped Chase into her arms.
"Hi," Chase quietly said before he reached up and softly patted Sam's face.
"I think you might have some competition, Daniel," Jack said with a snort.
Daniel raised his eyebrows and looked at Sam and Chase. "Hey. Are you flirting with her?" he asked with a smile.
"No," Chase giggled before he hid his face against Sam's shoulder.
Fred merely shook her head and looked over Daniel. "How are you feeling? Did Paul ever determine what made your allergies act up on the hive ship?" she asked him.
A few days before, they had found another hive ship and had taken it out with the retro-virus. Daniel had ended up being a little ill from something and spent a good day and a half sneezing and coughing.
"He says the organic matter in the ship caused them to act up. Jennifer is working on something for me to take for next time," he explained.
Soon, the Gate was lighting up and the event horizon came to life. Carson, Caitlin and Thor walked through and Fred smiled.
"Thor wanted to come with," Caitlin said.
Thor stepped forward and proceeded to greet all of them except for Jack. "Hey, Thor," Jack said with a smile.
"I do not wish to speak with you at the moment, Jack O'Neill," Thor said before he stood beside Sam.
"Why? What did I do?" Jack asked.
"You were a bad friend and didn't tell him you were moving," Caitlin said before she looked at Alex and grinned. "Guess what, munchkin? We have a present for you."
"Really?" Alex said as she bounced around. "I like presents!"
