Mom’s my mom now, forever, and I love her every way I can and I couldn’t wish for anybody better. Not anybody on Earth, anyway. But I love Sam, too, and I think she would have been a good mom, too. I don’t think it’s bad to think about that sometimes and wonder. It’s not like I’m wishing for something bad. Mom and I see her all the time, anyway, and we all have lots of fun doing stuff together, so sometimes it’s like I have two moms, and that’s really nice. I love Sam so much.
Teal’c’s like me, and he was the first one I met. The first person I saw who wasn’t dead, and it seemed like everybody had been dead forever and there would never be anybody alive for me to talk to ever again. I was so lonely and scared and sad. And then there were people and Teal’c held out his hand and smiled. He smiles better now. I sit on his knee and he tells me about his little boy. And when he gets sad I tell him we’re not alone because we’ve got each other. We’re the only ones on the whole Earth who came from someplace different, and we can see each other and talk about it any time we need to. I think I’d be lonely sometimes if I didn’t know Teal’c.
Jack is just silly! He made all that stuff up about the dog and it being a rule that I had to have one! He makes me giggle, he’s so silly. And he gives the best hugs. You’d think that maybe Teal’c would give the best hugs because his arms are so big, but Jack’s hugs are even better. He’s always giving me stuff. Mom says he’s going to spoil me. I like being spoiled. He makes Mom giggle, too, but sometimes she waits and we giggle together after he leaves.
Daniel is so handsome, he just makes me want to look at him all day. His eyes are so blue. And he doesn’t know very much about children, but he likes me, and when I sit on his lap he looks happy. Not like sometimes when he looks sad and I think he must be missing his wife. I really hope they find her soon and that she comes here to live, and then it’ll be me and Teal’c and Sha’re, and we’ll teach her all the things about Earth that she’ll need to know. Sometimes I talk to Daniel about Hanka and I try not to get sad. It’s nice that he wants to know stuff, and somebody besides me should know, and Daniel writes it all down. So people will know about how we lived and what food we ate and what games I played when I was a child.
Cleaning out the house after the funeral, Cassie found her old journal in a box at the back of the upstairs hall closet. She wept a few tears over some of the entries and laughed at some of them. Sniffling, she dug in her backpack for a pen, and wrote one last entry in the book: SG-1 is my family.
As she tucked the journal into her pack, she felt a little bit better. Her forever Mom was gone and she’d lost a second childhood, but she’d never, ever be alone.
Five things Cassie Fraiser thinks about SG-1
