MGM owns all characters except OCs.

A/N: The long awaited, by some of you anyways, sequel to Welcome to Pegasus Jennifer Keller. If you didn't read the first story you won't be entirely lost, but I will refer to things that happened in that story. And the big spoiler from that story is that Jennifer is Jack O'Neill's niece.

Jennifer is OOC and sorry if Jack seems OOC as well, but this is AU.

Thanks to Betherdy Babe for the beta.

Robert Keller stretched his legs, noting a small pang from the break he suffered several years ago. Must be a storm coming. He'd broken his leg hiking in the Adirondacks of New York with Jennifer. She splinted his leg and took care of him until help arrived. A smile crossed the proud father's face as he remembered his little girl ordering the rescue team around. My little girl never backed down if someone's safety was involved.

"One ice cold Laughing Dog Scottish Ale from that local brewery you love," Jack said as he pulled up a seat next the man he considered a brother.

"You should give it a try," Robert said, taking a long drink and grinning. "I really do hate to fly."

"So why did you?" Jack asked.

"Got a funny message from Jenny the other day and wanted to talk to you about it in person." Robert shifted forward in the chair.

"Funny?" Jack sat up straighter as well.

"I think our little girl is in love."

"What?" Jack shot up.

"Thought I'd get that reaction out of you. I know you've got people looking out for her on that base she's on. I kinda thought it would include keeping potential suitors away as well as her safety," Robert said with a smile. He and Jack had different views of protecting Jennifer. As a man who longed for grandchildren, he'd always given Jack grief over his visits to her college campus in full dress uniform with a fully uniformed chauffeur in the car, usually armed.

"I do. He's the best in the universe at protecting people. As long as they cooperate," Jack said, obviously thinking about the injuries Jennifer suffered about six months ago.

"Jennifer's as stubborn and independent as they come, Jack, you know that," Robert said. "So, what do you know about a Doctor Rodney McKay?"

It was a good thing the General had put his drink down before Robert mentioned the name of Jennifer's love interest or he would have received a beer shower. The coughing fit Jack had gave Robert concern for a second.

"I take it that's a yes," Robert smiled.

"Wha… How… Why do you think she loves him?"

"Because she said: Dad, I'm falling in love." Robert was trying not to laugh. Jack's love and concern for Jennifer was sometimes stronger than his own. After the tragic death of his son, Charlie, Jennifer went to spend several weeks with Jack and Sarah, her mom's sister. Unfortunately the O'Neill's couldn't get over the tragedy in their lives and grew apart. "She said he's the smartest man alive and coming from Jenny that means a lot to me. I take it he's not a fly boy?"

"Hey!"

Robert had to laugh. The digs at the Air Force were constant between the two of them. "A fellow scientist or a doctor?"

"Scientist," O'Neill spat. "An arrogant, condescending, annoying little man. Richards' must have been after the soldiers and forgot to keep the scientist away from her."

"So, you don't like him?"

"No," Jack said quickly, standing up to pace the hotel balcony.

"You know, Jenny and I've dealt with enough of your arrogance and annoying traits over the years. I'm positive Jenny can handle him. I bet he even appreciates her keeping him in line," Robert offered. "Honestly, Jack, she's never sounded happier in her life. She didn't mention her work once and that's never happened before. It's all she's ever cared about and, to be honest, I've been worried about her."

Jack closed his eyes as he clutched the rail. Turning back to his companion, he said, "Let me get to the bottom of this. If he's just playing around with her, I'll kill him."

"Just make sure Jenny wants you to because if you cause her first broken heart, this old Navy diver will kick your ass, flyboy," Robert said with a bit of steel in his voice.
