Major Samantha 'Sam' Carter walked through the halls of the SGC. She was called to the infirmary, and knowing Janet Frasier it was because she was bored and wanted someone to talk to. As the blonde Major approached the infirmary, she saw Daniel walk out. He nodded and hurried down the hall, fixing his shirt as he did so. Sam shook her head; Janet had probably threatened to take him off his allergy medication. It was amazing, that man was allergic to more things than anyone should be.

"Janet, you wanted to see me?" Sam smiled walking into the room. Janet was just fixing her hair; Sam stifled a laugh, figuring out what transpired.

"Yes, I did actually. Come on in to my office," the red headed doctor was caught off guard at first, then she smiled.

"Okay. So Janet, how's things?" Sam asked while trying to keep herself from laughing.

"It's going pretty well. But I didn't call you down here to chat," the doctor smiled.

"I didn't think you did. So what can I do for you?"

"Well, why don't you sit down. Yesterday when you came back from P4X 5H7, I ran some tests," Janet started sitting down on her desk.

"Yes," Sam smiled, not knowing what her friend was getting at.

"And I got your blood test back and it had something unusual in it, and I wasn't sure what. So I ran it again, same thing, so I ran it again, third time is a charm, and the same result."

"What are you getting at Janet?"

"Your test showed a significant rise in your levels of hCG in your blood, high enough to prove positive," the doctor smiled again.

"What does that mean?"

"It means, that you're pregnant Sam," Janet smiled brightly. This was one of the highlights of her job, telling someone she cared for that they were becoming a mother for the first time.

"Come again?"

"You're going to have a baby," Janet smiled touching her friend's shoulder.

"Baby? As in child? As in I, Samantha Carter have a baby inside my body right now?" Sam asked her eyes wide open and in shock. Janet shook her head, for a Doctor, Sam was pretty dense at times.

"Yes. You're going to have a baby." The doctor said with a brighter smile than before.

"I'm going to have a baby? I'm going to have a baby! I can't have a baby! Janet I can't!" Sam ranted standing up she started pacing the room.

"What do you mean you can't? You're a warm, loving, caring woman. I saw the way you are around Cassie. You can do it," Janet told her friend truthfully.

"You don't understand Janet. I'm single. Pete and I broke up a while ago, and, and, and," Carter said as tears flowed from her eyes.

"Sam, slow down."

"Janet, I can't be a mother. I don't know how."

"I didn't know how either. But, Cassandra made me become a mother, and I don't know I just was a mother. You'll be fine Sam. Besides you have around six months before the blessed event."

"I'm three months pregnant?" Sam asked even more shocked.

"About that," Janet smiled.

"I'm three months pregnant?" Sam asked even more shocked.

"Oh no. No, no, no. This can't be happening. This cant be happening!"

"Sam, take it easy," Janet said grabbing her friend.

"Janet, you don't understand¡­the last person I was 'with' was¡­was¡­was¡­Colonel O'Neill," Sam sobbed.

"Oh my," was all Janet could say. Sure she knew that the Colonel and Sam were perfect for each other, but she never knew they were already involved.

"We're not even involved," Sam started. "It was on his birthday¡­we all got drunk,"

"I remember," Janet smiled, remembering her hangover the next morning. Cassandra didn't make it any better. She thought it was funny, and insisted on making a lot of noise.

¦" ¦'¦×§Ø Flashback §Ø¦×¦'¦

"Knock Knock!" Daniel smiled opening the door to Jack's backyard. Everyone was already outside. Janet and Sam were talking while they watched Jack and Teal'c try to play Frisbee.

"Hey Danny Boy. Did you bring beer?"

"Um¡­NO Jack, I didn't," Daniel replied.

"LIAR!"

"Hi Sam!" Daniel smiled changing the topic. "Janet," he nodded staring at the redheaded doctor.

"Hi Daniel, give me a beer and have a seat," Janet ordered holding out her hand.

"Women, what demanding things you are," Jack smiled sitting down beside Sam. "It's my birthday and you get all the attention. It's not fair!" Jack whined in a child-like way.

"Jack¡­SHUT UP!" Sam smiled.

"Fine. No birthday sex for anyone then¡­EVER!" Jack threatened.

"Oh no¡­did you hear that Sam?" Daniel asked sarcastically. "No sex ever¡­not like I'm getting any anyway," Janet smiled. He was doing what he promised, keeping their relationship a secret and besides, he was getting it¡­he just wasn't allowed to tell.

"Daniel, how much have you had to drink?" Sam asked stifling a laugh.

"Um¡­I can't remember," Daniel winked. "Was that a wink I just did?"

"I don't know," Sam replied. Teal'c was walking out of the house, carrying the refrigerator out with him.

"Um¡­Teal'c what are you doing with my fridge?" Jack asked very dumbfounded.

"It would be better suited to remain outside," the Jaffa said setting the fridge down.

"I get it¡­more accessible, gotcha." Jack smiled. It was already evident that the group already had a few drinks and were feeling the effects of intoxication.

"Sir, if I may be so bold as in telling you that your fly is undone," Sam smiled taking a sip of her beer. Janet burst out laughing and spit out her beer all over Daniel. Daniel burst into laughter at this and looked at his 'friend'.

"I'm sooo sorry Daniel," Janet laughed. "Here take off your shirt." Daniel complied and started to take his shirt off.

"Woohoo! Strip show!" Jack yelled raising his arms in the air. "Take it off!"

"We should take the festivities inside," Teal'c stated noticing a small congregation of children watching them.

"Kay! Sam get the beer, Janet the chips, Daniel the door, and Teal'c you get the fridge. Let's go¡­ONWARD!" the five of them laughed and walked into the house, Daniel collapsed on the couch, with Janet next to him. Teal'c put the fridge down and sat in the chair next to it. Jack plopped himself on the love seat, leaving the space next to him open for Sam. She sighed and sat on the floor in front of him.

"Sam doesn't like Jack," Daniel teased throwing his shirt at Janet. The young archaeologist now sat shirtless in his tan slacks and shoes.

"Daniel while you sit there, I got this incredible hard on," Jack joked squeezing Sam's shoulder. Sam smiled and leaned into his legs.

"Me too Jack, me too," Daniel smiled sarcastically.

A couple hours later Daniel was passed out half naked, after loosing at strip poker. Teal'c was sitting in front of Jack's TV watching 'MASH' and laughing.

"O'Neill this Hawkeye is vastly amusing," the Jaffa laughed. It was evident that the Jaffa was intoxicated. Jack laughed trying to stretch out on his couch. But Sam, who was lying on him, restricted him from doing so. Jack looked over at Janet who was pretty much sleeping on Daniel.

"Car-ar-Sam¡­who is picking up Janet and Danny?" he asked shaking the blonde awake.

"I don't, don't know sir," Sam yawned. It seemed that the two were completely passed out. "Look at those two," she smiled.

"They look cute to-to-g yeah," Jack yawned. He closed his eyes and let himself slowly start to drift off before he heard Teal'c burst out into his riotous laughter. He popped his eyes open in shock and then sighed.

Just then there was a knock at the door. Jack yawned and stood up, Sam was lying between him and the back of the couch.

"I'm coming!" He called walking to the door, opening it up he saw Cassandra standing on the porch.

"I'm here to pick up Mom and Daniel," the teen smiled.

"Right. What time is it?"

"Three AM. When I got home and it was past my curfew but Mom wasn't home, I thought it would be best if I picked her up," Cassandra explained walking into the living room.

"I see. You got Cinderella don't you?"

"Oh you know it. How drunk is she?" The new driver asked.

"Pretty wasted. Daniel is out cold¡­he lost at strip poker¡­which your Mom started," Jack smiled almost falling down as he walked into is living room. Cassandra burst out laughing and looked at her mother and Daniel.

"DOC!" Jack yelled. Janet jumped up and started laughing. It was pretty obvious she was drunk too.

"What!?" Janet yelled back.

"Cass¡ªand¡ªyour daughter is here!" Jack said rather loudly.

"Cas¡ªa¡ªCassie! What are you doing here?" Janet asked trying to stand up. Cassandra smiled and helped her up.

"Picking you up. Lets get you home. Is Uncle Daniel coming with us?" Cassie asked helping her mother up. Janet nodded, Daniel had been staying with them while his place was being painted.

"Uncle Teal'c could you get Uncle Daniel please? I'll take you back to the SGC."

"Of course Cassandra Fraiser," Teal'c nodded picking a half naked Daniel up. Putting him over his shoulder he made his way to the front door.

"I'll see you later guys," Cassandra smiled. "Come on Mom."

Jack smiled and closed the door. Leaning up against it he looked at Sam who was laughing on his couch.

"Want another beer?" Jack asked wobbling into the kitchen.

"Sure," Sam laughed rolling off the couch. Jack laughed walking back into the room; he stumbled to sit down next to her. Handing her the beer they stared into each other's eyes. Slowly Jack leaned forward and placed a kiss on the blonde's lips.

At first Sam was shocked but then embraced it, wrapping her arms around his neck and letting herself go. It could be the alcohol, but she didn't care. She had been waiting for this to happen for a long, long time.

The next morning was something else. Sam woke up in the arms of her CO. With only a sheet covering her body, Sam shot up. She looked over at Jack, who was sleeping peacefully. She closed her eyes tightly; the brightness of the sun hurt her eyes. Holding her head, she climbed out of bed and threw her clothes on. Squeezing into her skirt she sighed. She didn't know why she wore a jean skirt to his party¡­her outfit was just too damn complicated! A mini jean skirt, a black corset top, and her knee high leather boots were not meant for this.

Grabbing her boots she stopped in the doorway and looked at Jack. She felt a pain in her stomach, she felt bad for leaving him, but she had to. She wasn't ready for what would happen between them.

Leaving the bedroom she walked quickly through the house, her hangover already taking effect. Grabbing her jean jacket off of the coat rack she left the house.

Jack woke up as the door closed. He sat up and looked at his bed, closing his eyes lightly, taking in a deep breath. He crawled out of bed and lowered his head. He should have known that a relationship¡­anything with this woman wouldn't work. He was her superior officer, her boss, her comrade in arms, and her best friend.

¦" ¦'¦×§ØEnd of Flashback§Ø¦×¦'¦

"Janet, we can't be together. We just can't."

"Sam, who says you two can't be together? If you truly love each other, then what's standing in your way?" Janet asked.

"The fact that he's my boss? My comrade in arms, my best friend! The fact he's fifteen years my senior!" Sam rambled on.

"What does age got to do with it?" Janet asked seriously. She didn't see the point in people not acting on their feelings because of age.

"I don't know Janet. I just don't know. He's old enough to be a grandfather, not a new father," Sam cried. She didn't know if it was the hormones or what.

"It's okay Sam. Why don't you come back to my house for dinner? Cassie is cooking tonight."

"Okay. That'd be great. Thanks Janet," Sam smiled gratefully.

"No problem. Cassandra is turning into a great cook!" Janet smiled brightly.

¦" ¦'¦×§Ø§æ§Ø¦×¦'¦

"So Cassie, how's school going?" Sam asked.

"Pretty good I suppose. It's boring though. They're teaching me things I already know," Cassie said as she moved her 'monopoly' piece around the board.

"They did the same thing when I was in school. Don't worry about it, besides this way you can be smarter than your teacher," Sam joked as the game of monopoly went on.

"Sam you are coming for Christmas Eve dinner right?" Cassandra asked as she counted out the money.

"Sure am. I wouldn't miss it for the world, besides, your mother would kill me if I didn't show up," Sam whispered.

"DAMN STRAIGHT I would!" Janet called walking back into the living room.

¦" ¦'¦×§Ø§æ§Ø¦×¦'¦

A while later, after Cassie had gone to bed Sam and Janet stayed up talking in the living room. They were both drinking tea and just lounging around.

"When are you going to tell the Colonel?" Janet asked taking a sip of her tea.

"He's coming over tomorrow night for dinner. I'll tell him then. He needs to know before anything else happens," Sam said rubbing her thumb gently over the rim of her mug.
