Disclaimer: I own nothing of SG-1 or the characters. I do how ever own this story and I am making no money off of it what so ever. There I said it.

Summary: Jack and Sam rescued a unique little girl ten years ago from a horrible massacre on her home world. Now that girl lives with them on Earth and is a member of SG-1. This is an A/U story. Kinda how they like to tease us in the show with glimpses of Sam and Jack who come from the parallel realities…. This is something like that.

Note: I know it has been so long sing I updated but I lost inspiration for this story for a while. But I am back with a new chapter! R&R

ATLANTIS SHOWERS:

Jade stood with Ronon under the hot spray of water. His hands were soapy and roaming over her back. She would have been content to watch him shower but he had pulled her in. Two months ago she had split her soul and allowed herself to be cloned and since then she had never felt better. Ronon was the man she wanted even though she was an animal and she shouldn't want for anything. In turn he wanted her despite the hatred he had shown her on her initial arrival to Atlantis. All she could think about right now was the feel of his rough calloused hands on her waist. She smiled as his fingers traced the gold on her hip.

"This is the best shower ever," Ronon growled. He had just wanted to get his hands on her. All day he had been with Dr. Weir as she asked him about his time on Earth and what he thought about the planet. All he had to give were simple answers because most of his time he spent with Jade in the Mountain. But now all his attention was focused on her. He ran his hands up from her hips, to her stomach, and up until he could cup her breasts. Ronon had thought that Melena had been the one woman for him, but meeting Jade had changed his mind drastically. She was as scared as he was but she had family who cared about her. He wanted her to care about him as much as she was cared about and now she would be with him for a long time.

"I'm sure if we were in your bed it would be way better." She shot back turning so she could wrap her arms around his neck and haul him close to her. Jade wanted more than anything to kiss him, to feel his lips on hers and just wash away the world, the replicators, and everything else. He was the one man who looked at her and not through her. She wasn't an animal to Ronon, she was a person and that was what mattered the most to her. Even now Ronon fit to her, he didn't have to lean over her.

Ronon held her close and searched her face. She was watching him with the strangest expression in her eyes. "Why do you look at me like?" He asked. He couldn't resist.

"You treat me like I'm a person and not a thing or an animal." Jade lowered her forehead to his shoulder so she could hide the tears that were gathering in her eyes. Any other man she had been interested in hadn't really seen her; they had seen a beautiful woman with a dark side.

"I guess it took the right wolf to turn my head." Ronon replied and kissed the side of her head. She wasn't an animal to him, or a thing, she was Jade. She was a woman who fired his blood, made his heart beat faster, and his body yearn for hers. No matter the amount of punishment that they dealt out to the other, they would always come back for more. Jade was a woman who could match him strength for strength and still come across as gentle.

"Ronon, this is Sheppard come in."

Ronon shot a glance to the radio and growled. "Guess our time is up."

"Yeah," Jade muttered stepping out of the shower. She pulled on her underwear, her fatigues, and was just starting with her bra when Ronon came up behind her again. Instead of taking the garment off his fingers secured the clasps and then handed her the muscle shirt. Jade felt a slight stirring of disappointment. More than anything she wanted to be under the hot water with Ronon engaging in acts of passion until she couldn't think or stand and not listen to McKay bather away in Techno talk.

"McKay has something." Ronon mumbled kissing the side of Jade's neck. He had an idea on how she was feeling. He could much rather still be in the shower with her.

"Oh goody." Jade whispered.

MCKAY'S LAB:

SG-1 as well as Atlantis-1 stood watching McKay as he talked about how the Ancients made their own human form Replicators. Jade and Kiyani stood side by side with their men and both wore the mask of disinterest. Jade glanced at her father and saw that his eyes had glazed over. He was about a minute away from shouting at McKay to get on with it. She raised her hand and said, "Rodney I don't mean to disrupt you inane, techno babble, but for those of us without an ego the size of the universe could you use simple words." Jade added a growl for good measure.

"If you would just listen…."

"Rodney," Sheppard warned, "She said simple."

Rodney turned to Sheppard and said flatly, "Fine. We want to make our own replicator. Only our replicator will dial up the attraction between other replicators."

"On a subatomic scale?" Sam asked. Rodney's idea was brilliant; if it worked.

"Yup!" Rodney turned to Sam, "That's exactly what we want to do."

"Wait, Rodney, you're talking about a replicator."

"Well, no, a replicator block and it simple enough for it to do what we want it to."

"But it won't work." Todd interrupted and Kiyani snickered. He squeezed her hand for her to be silent. "You tried it earlier and it didn't work."

Jade leaned over to Kiyani and asked, "Really?"

"Oh yeah, it blew up in his face. Well, it turned into Replicator goo."

"Eww," Jack piped up and looked at his girls. Sam was at his side and she tried not to giggle, but she hadn't managed all that well. He took her hand in his and rubbed his thumb over her knuckles quickly before the gesture was seen by others. Looking at Jade he saw she had turned her head and her shoulders shook from laughter.

"I know that's what I said." Kiyani replied and bit her bottom lip when Todd looked at her. It was too early for him to have to put up with her strange sense of humor. Instead she looked at Jade and just smiled.

"So, we use a regular human form Replicator and we dumb it down." Sam spoke, thinking out loud. If she were back at the SGC she would be talking to her plants.

"Dumb it down?" Jade asked. "You mean strip it's programming to the bare essentials?"

"Yes, that's it exactly."

"Why didn't you say that?"

"You said simple words." Sam smiled at her daughter when Jade stuck her tongue out.

"What would you take away? These replicators were made by the ancients and if the replicators in your home galaxy prove difficult, these replicators are going to be ten times that." Kiyani tossed in. The three women moved together and started talking almost at once.

"This is worse than when we had the two Carter's" Jack groaned. He was remembering the headache he nearly had listening to his Carter and then the mirror Carter. Watching her and Jade and Kiyani would definitely make his head throb.

"Indeed." Teal'c commented.

"Oh, man. This was my idea." Rodney bemoaned.

"Get over it. Those three will leave you in the dust." Sheppard gloated and looked at Todd out of the corner of his eye. The Wraith was watching the wolf in the skirt and it was hard not to glance her way every now and then with the clothes that she was wearing.

"Still my idea." Rodney groused.

"Rodney, your idea was a replicator block. Theirs is an actual replicator." Sheppard smiled smugly.

TWO HOURS:

MESS HALL

O'Neill, Teal'c, Sheppard, and Ronon sat at one of the tables in the deserted Mess hall. Carter, McKay, and the girls had kicked out everyone who wasn't helping, which meant the four of them. They were talking amongst themselves when Teyla and Daniel walked up. "You two finally get kicked out?" Jack asked

"Yeah," Daniel sat down, "Listening to them is like hearing a foreign language for the first time."

"My eyes just glaze over." Jack said.

"We know. But listening to Jade is like seeing her as a different person. I just assumed she was, you know, like you Jack." Daniel smirked.

"Whatever." Jack muttered.

"Listening is amazing. They feed off of ideas and come up with amazing solutions." Teyla mused. "I found it very illuminating until I couldn't follow their latest train of thought."

"What'd they say?" Sheppard asked leaning foreword.

"I believe the mentioned dialing up the attraction between each replicator cell until the attraction was so great that the ships in orbit would be pulled back down to the surface." Teyla informed, though she was not certain about the words.

Sheppard pondered her words and then said, "While we're waiting for that to happen our ships could still take some damage. Just pray that the Wraith keep their word."

"But we have those Asgard beam weapons." Jack said, "They seem to work."

MCKAY'S LAB:

Kiyani stood idly by and watched as Sam Carter and her twin, Jade, got into a screaming match with Rodney McKay on how much programming to strip away. They hadn't actually gotten around to making an actual Replicator. Everyone was still arguing. Kiyani went over to Jade and fished out the iPod she knew she kept in her pocket. Jade turned just as she pulled it out and Kiyani dangled it in front of her. She nodded and went back to arguing while Kiyani put the ear buds in and blasted music. It was enough to drown them out. Then Todd was there pulling her back against his chest. She pulled his arms around her and changed songs. Kiyani pulled out the right ear bud turning n Todd's arms. Her wraith looked at her with a questioning look. He knew her just a little two well. "Maybe we should just go a head and try it." Kiyani suggested.

"We don't know what will happen." Todd answered but he had had that same thought while the others had started to bicker.

"That's why we give it a try. The tools are right over there," Kiyani pointed over to the table.

"Just give them a few more minutes."

"What did you do" Kiyani knew that look he was wearing. She didn't have a name for it, but she knew that he had done something already. Todd placed his hands on her hips moving her a few steps away so he could go to the dry erase board. He made a few notations that made the other three stop talking.

"Oh…" Jade muttered as she saw the last of the equation fall into place. She turned to Todd, "You did this to shut us up huh?" He only smiled and tilted his head to the side with a slight smile.

"At least we have a plan for tomorrow. Now we can go to sleep." Kiyani yawned holding out Jade's iPod to her.

"Keep it," Jade spoke pulling out another iPod in black.

"Thanks." Kiyani smiled tucking the small silver device into the knot of her skirt.

MESS HALL:

Ronon looked up when the others walked in; his eyes immediately settled on Jade. She looked tired and about ready to drop. He got out of his chair and went to her where he slipped and arm around her waist. "Tired?" Ronon asked.

"I think I bruised my brain with all that thinking." Jade joked leaning her head on Ronon's shoulder. It wasn't the thinking, or the problem solving that had made her head hurt, it had been Rodney insisting that he could do all the work himself.

"Figured you would have come out with Teyla an hour ago." Ronon commented.

"No, there was arguing, so I stayed and argued." Jade responded. Ronon kissed the top of her head. She could go to sleep right there and then.

"You did figure it out though, right?" Sheppard asked.

"Yes, we did." Sam leaned on the table to answer John. She was feeling the same fatigue. It wasn't the math or the problem of 'dumbing down' the Replicator that made her tired; it was fighting with Rodney that had sapped her strength. If she hadn't been surrounded by the others Sam would have sat down next to Jack, leaned her head on his shoulder, and fell asleep.

"I don't see why you all are tired." Rodney said from the edge of the table. He felt great. He felt back on his game. He felt ready to bring the replicator to life.

"Gee Rodney I don't know why either seeing as we did most of the work and you just argued with us." Jade said; her words dripping with sarcasm.

"Guess you just don't have the stamina." Rodney shot back as he typed commands into his tablet.

"Oh, she has stamina that would put you to shame, McKay." Kiyani responded from the doorway. She leaned against the door just smiling.

"Thought you'd be crashed right now." Jade mused as Kiyani walked over to where she stood.

"Tried for all of ten minutes, but my body was too fired up. I just want to run…" Kiyani sucked inn air between her teeth and then licked her lips. She hadn't had much of a chance to run in her wolf form for the last two months. It was starting to bug her. "Don't you want to?"

"I want to sleep." Jade lied. She felt the pull to run in her wolf form too. She had tried to resist since being with Ronon. It still bothered him to see her as a wolf sometimes and she hadn't yet figured out why. She knew it had something to do with his people but that was all.

"Rain check?" Kiyani asked. She knew Jade was lying through her wolf teeth. But she sensed that there was something more to her declining the invitation to run.

"Yeah, definitely," Jade agreed quickly

On impulse Kiyani reached out and placed her hand, palm down, over Jade's heart. There she could feel the strong beating of a heart that matched hers. Everything about Jade matched Kiyani right down to the three gold claw marks on her hip. The only difference was the eyes.

Jade mirrored Kiyani and placed her hand over his twin's heart. The rhythmic beating almost matched hers. Jade had always had a higher heart rate than normal humans even when she was a kid. It was nice to know another person who had a fast heart like hers. "Catch you tomorrow, well, later today I should say." Jade laughed dropping her hand the same time Kiyani did. Her twin inclined her head and then turned to leave.

"There nothing more for us to do, we should all get some sleep and…. Actually sleeping is about all I can come up with." O'Neill said and all eyes turned on him.

Everyone filed out of the Mess Hall and headed for their quarters. McKay was the only one who lingered where he was. Jade pulled away from Ronon and motioned for him to wait for her. "Rodney, you should go to bed." She said.

"I just…. I just want to get it finished." Rodney said. "I hate leaving things unfinished especially when we made some headway."

"Todd made the headway, we…" Jade motioned between them and included her mom, "Just bickered."

"Still…"

"Just go to bed McKay." Jade turned him towards the transporter down the hall and pushed him gently. She shook her head and turned back to go with Ronon back to his quarters, back to the warmth and security his arms gave her when she slept soundly beside him.
