Lacy here ladies and gents. Thanks to a certain someone *glares at Katie* who shall remain nameless, I'm writing a Grace Christmas story. (Katie: Hey payback sucks!) Bite me Greek! *huffs*(Katie: Not likely Roman!) Now, I've got big things planned here this year. The main thing, Gracie girl is pregnant. Who's the father you might ask? Well, none of then Colonel David Telford. Hold the 'ew's and 'he's too old's for later. Now, she's about four months along and everyone close to Grace knows. Well, everyone but her father that is. Jack's Christmas present is going to be finding out he's gonna be a grampa. Bring out the paddles, we're gonna need them. With ghouls and goblins, witches and wizards in heart, this Roman Werewolf wishes everyone happy holidays! Have fun!

Disclaimer: I only own Grace, Carmen and the unnamed baby Grace is carrying.

"David Evan Telford, I am pregnant not broken. I can very easily go tree shopping with our ridiculously large family. Now give me my damn coat."

David Telford knew when he was fighting a losing battle. The look on the face of his girlfriend of two years clearly told him to hand the coat over before she kicked his ass, pregnant or not. With a sigh of defeat, he handed her the coat and couldn't help but smile at the grin that covered her face.

"One day, I will win against you." David said as he helped Grace button her coat.

"I'm an O'Neill, David." Grace said, wrapping her scarf around her neck. "There is no winning against us."

David laughed. "Yeah, so I'm noticing." he handed Grace her hat as he got his own coat on. "So, remind me why we're keeping the pregnancy from your father again?"

Grace pulled her hat on. "Mom and I both know he's going to freak over his little girl being pregnant. We figured it would be best to tell him with everyone around. That way there's less chance he'll try to kill you."

David cleared his throat. "Or Teal'c and Ronan will hold me down while the General kills me."

Grace shrugged. "Could go either way."

David gave Grace a look. "Thanks for that, Gracie."

Grace smiled and kissed him. "You know I love you. And if they try and touch you, they'll be pinned to a wall before they can blink."

Sometimes having a genetically advanced girlfriend had it's perks.

David wrapped his arm around Grace and led her to the door of their house. "Come on, before I get a call from Everett complaining."

Grace laughed as they left the house.

TJ rolled her eyes as Everett, John and Jack checked their watches for the third time. Sam and Teyla echoed TJ's eye roll. Torren and Carmen sat at their mother's feet. Torren, at five, knew the look on his mother's face and knew his father was in trouble. Carmen was only two and just knew her daddy was being silly.

"If you three check your watches again," Sam said. "you'll be against Teal'c and Ronan in the snowball fight this year."

The three men paled while the two aliens in question smirked at them.

"Silly daddy." Carmen giggled.

Evan picked Carmen up, as Everett was still inching away from Ronan and Teal'c. "Yes, your daddy is very silly."

"They're here." Teyla said, motioning to Grace and David, who were walking towards them.

"It's about time." Jack, Everett and John chorused.

Grace joined her mother, Teyla and TJ in the eye roll this time. "Down boys. We're only five minutes late because someone," she gave David a look. "wouldn't let me drive."

Everett patted David's shoulder. "Two years, David. I thought you learned not to fight her long before now."

David shrugged. "I have a stubborn moment every now and then."

"Now being now and then being five seconds before." Grace muttered.

Laughing, the group split into two. The men going one way and the women and children another. They had two hours to find the perfect tree.

"So, have you told the General yet?" TJ asked.

Grace shook her head as her hand settled on her slightly swelled stomach. "Not yet. We're gonna make it his Christmas present."

"What are the chances he won't try and kill David?" Janet asked.

"Not good." Sam and Grace said.

Janet, TJ and Teyla laughed.

"What was Everett's reaction?" Sam asked, wanting to know how the man who was basically another father to Grace reacted to Grace's news.

Grace laughed. "Remember a month or so back when David had a black eye?" the other women nodded. "That was Everett's reaction."

The women spun as they heard a loud thump followed by a series of groans.

"Was it a good idea to leave the men alone?" Grace asked.

"No."

~'~'~'~'~'~'~'~'~

"You're not that young any more Jack." Sam said as she laid an ice pack on Jack's swelling knee. "You cannot take a bet to climb a damn tree."

Jack huffed. "Mitchell, Lorne, Sheppard and Young were just fine."

Sam gave him a look. "They're also younger then you." she shook her head. "At least David and Daniel had the brains to stay on solid ground with Ronan and Teal'c."

"Hey, we got our tree, didn't we?" Jack said, referring to the large tree that was set up in the gate room at the SGC.

"No," Grace walked in. "Mom, Janet, TJ, Teyla and I got the tree with Ronan, Daniel, Teal'c and David. You, Cam, Evan, John and Everett laid in the snow with Carmen and Torren baby sitting you." she kissed her mom's cheek. "David and I are heading out. We'll see you tomorrow."

Sam nodded. "Take care." her eyes shot to Grace's stomach quickly, which was covered by a baggy shirt that hid her belly.

Grace smiled. "Of course."
