Continued from here.
Going over to the suite's phone, Sam called downstairs and ordered Molly's dinner, including some fruit and ice cream as well for dessert. By the time she finished, Daniel and she were sitting over on the couch, talking, and she found herself smiling as she watched them for a moment while he told Molly about Atlantis. She was talking animatedly, quite a contrast from the scared, withdrawn girl they had first met.
Picking up her bag, she fished out the secured cell phone that she used whenever they were on Earth and called the SGC.
"Colonel Carter...I mean, Jackson," Landry greeted once she was put through. "Don't tell me you wanted to check in on how things were going while you're on your honeymoon."
"Not exactly, Sir. I'm calling to request clearance," she said.
She could just see the look on his face at that one. "For what?"
Sam took a breath and explained the situation with Molly to him as briefly as she could. She knew that she was asking him to take a huge leap of faith with her story, but considering what they dealt with every day, she hoped he would be open.
"The IOA isn't going to like this," he told her.
"I know," she said, watching as Molly hugged Daniel. When he kissed her head, she smiled, thinking how much like a father he looked.
"But someone's life it a hell of a lot more important that what a bunch of bureaucrats think," he said. "I'll have her clearance ready when you three come back."
"Thank you," she said before hanging up the phone. She then walked over to the couch. "Dinner should be here soon. And Landry is getting Molly clearance to go through Command."
"Thank you, Sam," Molly said, hugging her tightly. Sam smiled and wrapped her arms around her. "Will you braid my hair like yours?"
"Sure." Getting up, Sam went and got her one of the combs the hotel provided from the bathroom and found a hairband. When she returned, she had Molly sit in front of her and began combing her hair.
