Chapter one
Pregnant. She did a double take. They had spent months on that ice planet, under the surface, as Jonah and Thera. Janet placed her hand on Sam's shoulder. "It's alright honey, every things going to be okay."
"No it's not!" Sam broke into sobs.
"Sam, why isn't this going to be okay?"
"Because he's the father."
"Yes I see. Do you need time to tell him?"
"Of course I do! What am I suppose to say to Jack?"
"I don't know, but I am obligated to tell the general. If you want to tell the colonel, do it quickly."
Sam nodded before hopping off the cot and leaving the infirmary.
She walked down the hallways, purposefully avoiding the turn leading to Jack's office. Making up her mind she went to Daniel's lab. After peeking inside, making sure the coast was clear and finding only Daniel and Teal'c, she entered.
"Hey Sam," Daniel acknowledged her presence.
"Hey guys, can you give me attention for a moment?"
Daniel put down the artifact he was looking at and Teal'c straightened up. "Alright then, this is big. Really, really big and I'm going to need your support." They nodded and she continued, "I'm pregnant."
"What," Daniel sputtered.
"I am pregnant."
"Okay…wait, who's the dad?"
"Well that's kind of why I came to talk to you guys first."
"It's Jack then."
"Yeah…"
"Alright, well we will do whatever we can to help you with the baby right Teal'c?"
"Indeed," he half nodded his head.
"Thanks guys, I guess I've got to go talk to Jack."
Sam turned and walked out the door. She walked back down the corridors until she came to Jack's office. You're doing this! Sam knocked on the door.
"Come,"
She entered, "Are you busy sir?"
"Nope, why don't you take a seat?"
Sam sat in the chair closest to her. She shifted, feeling uncomfortable with Jack being on the other side of the desk. "Look, if you're busy…"
"No," he looked up from the file he was reading. "If its important now is fine."
"Okay, you like children right?"
Jack sighed, "If you really want to have this discussion, we can do it latter. General Hammond is coming down on me hard right now."
"Alright, I'm sorry I bothered you. Is there any time today when we can sit down and talk?"
"Stop by my place around dinner time. Now get going, we both have lots of god damned paperwork to do."
"Yes sir," Sam stood up.
Jack leaped up and grabbed her shoulder. "Come on Sam, don't be like that. I'm not trying to ignore you, we both have jobs. Stop by tonight and we'll talk, I promise."
Sam nodded.
She walked up the steps to Jack's front door, twelve pack of coke in her hand. Sam rang the doorbell.
The door opened before her, "Hey come on in."
Sam followed him inside. "Smells good."
"Thanks, why don't you go make yourself comfortable and I'll grab some beers."
She grabbed him by the arm, "This isn't about sex."
"Why not? You didn't come to tell me that you've found someone else, have you?"
"No, but tonight shouldn't be about you and me. I really do have something to talk to you about."
"Alright," he pointed to the coke, "no beer then?"
"No," Sam took Jack's hand and led him into the den. She sat down on the couch, inviting Jack to join her.
He sat in the corner of the couch and pulled Sam into him. "Alright, tell me."
Sam nuzzled into his chest, "I'm pregnant."
Jack leaned back and sighed, "Ok. What do you want to do?"
Sam sat up, "Excuse me?"
"I won't lie, there are days when I wish I could be a father again but I'm not sure I was a great father the first time. And, it's your body. If you don't want to be pregnant I won't make you stay pregnant. Plus 'the job' has to be taken into count."
"I'm confused, are you saying that you want this or that you don't care?"
"Sam, I don't know if I can be the dad you're expecting me to be but I'll support you no matter what."
"I want to keep it."
"Okay," Jack squeezed Sam a little tighter. "What do you want to do about us?"
"I kind of like where we are right now. Needless to say I won't be pushing you into a marriage."
Jack grinned then picked Sam up in his arms and started carrying her to the bedroom. "What the hell are you doing?" Sam squealed as he tightened his grip.
"Taking my girlfriend to bed, if you think being called my girlfriend isn't pushing it."
"All right Jack." He dropped her down on the bed. "Not tonight…"
Jack rolled over on his side, "Fine but you're no fun."
"Love you too."
Jack nodded as he spooned up behind Sam and draped his arm over her waist. "Love you too."
