Part 1
The sun crept around the curtains to the bed, the figure rolled over, away from the light. Soon the sun was dancing all around, waking the woman who let out a groan.
Sam Carter yawned and tried to snuggle further under the blankets. She hadn't been sleeping well lately, since the last mission really although none of SG1 could remember what happened on that planet.
It had started as a recon and ended up as a rescue, SG1 had gone to the planet because the MALP had shown there were traces of Naquada. The last thing they remembered before waking up in the infirmary was stepping through the 'gate, apparently they had been 48 hours over due before Hammond authorised SG's 3 and 4 to go and find them.
It had been a week since that mission and still no one knows what happened, Sam supposed that the others were having trouble sleeping as well but with Daniel on a coffee buzz 24/7 and the Colonel and Teal'c's stoic tendency's, she was the only one showing signs. Hammond had noticed and given her two extra hours in the morning before she had to go into work and two extra hours off at night hoping that she could catch up on her sleep- well it was catching up with her and she hadn't slept too badly last night but it wasn't improving by much.
She decided to get up, even though she wasn't due into work for another three hours. She got up, had a nice long shower, got dressed and had breakfast. She didn't eat a lot, her stomach was playing up and she didn't trust it with too much.
She left for work and arrived an hour early, the Colonel was already there and raised his eyebrows when she walked past him.
"Bit early aren't we Carter?"
"Yes Sir, couldn't sleep."
"You should see Fraiser, see if she can give you anything."
"I'm fine Sir."
"You sure Carter? You've seemed a bit...weird lately." He winced at his choice of words but smiled when the corners of her mouth turned up slightly. "You eaten yet?"
"Yes Sir."
"What did you eat?" He crossed his arms across his chest when she didn't answer. "Well?"
"Half a slice of toast." She said sheepishly.
"Half a...Carter-commissary now. That's an order Major." He took her by the elbow and steered her to the lift. "So what exactly is the problem Carter?"
"What do you mean?"
"As your CO...as your friend I am worried about you-you look like shit, you haven't been eating or sleeping properly and frankly you're starting to scare me." He said once they were alone in the lift.
"I'm fine, its probably just a stomach bug or something, it's been feeling a bit weird lately. That's all, I swear."
"I still want you to see the Doc, you don't want this to keep going on do you?"
"No."
"Then as soon as you've eaten, we'll head on over to the infirmary-just to be safe." He looked into her eyes, she was scared that he was scared-he could tell. "It's probably nothing like you said."
The doors opened and they walked to the commissary, Jack went up to get the food while Sam sat at one of the spare tables.
"I can't eat anymore." Sam said pushing the plate away from her.
Jack looked at his 2IC with concern. "Well least you can say you've had a whole piece of toast this morning."
"I think I'm going to be sick." She said running out of the commissary, leaving a confused Daniel and Teal'c standing in the doorway.
"What was that about?" Daniel asked as Jack walked after her.
"Call Janet and tell her Sam's ill." He said before hurrying off.
Jack found Sam in the women's toilets; she looked as if she had just emptied the contents of her stomach into the toilet.
"You're not supposed to be in here Sir, it's the women's toilets." She said leaning back against the wall.
"I have a good enough reason. Come on, let's get you to Janet."
He helped her to stand then walked her to the infirmary; he exchanged a worried glance with the petite doctor before helping Sam onto the bed.
"I'll be back after the tests." He said before leaving so that Janet could find out why Sam was ill.
An hour later Jack was back at the infirmary and getting instructions to drive Sam back to her house and make sure she gets some rest.
"The results may take a while but I'll ring you when I have them." She smiled. "Sam, if you need anything just give me a call."
"I will Jan, thanks." She smiled back before being led out by Jack.
-----------------------------
"Colonel, I can look after myself." Sam said grumpily as Jack grabbed a blanket out of the cupboard and draped it over her.
"I have my orders Major, they are to make sure you have plenty or rest and eat decent meals, preferably not throwing them up afterwards." He added walking into the kitchen to put the kettle on.
Jack smiled as he saw her scowling from the other room.
"Why do you have to be so self reliant Samantha?" He asked. "You do have friends who are more than willing to help if you need it."
"I...uh." She shut her mouth again and continued scowling.
"Anyway, you have someone to look after you, cook your meals, clean your house while you sleep, eat and do nothing. Why are you complaining?"
Jack didn't expect an answer; he'd known Sam long enough to know when she was going to be as stubborn as him. He looked out from behind the cupboard door and saw her yawning.
"Why don't you have a sleep Carter? I'll sort out some things and move my stuff into your spare room."
"Sure." She mumbled and lay down, falling asleep as soon as her head touched the pillow.
Jack smiled at the sleeping woman then went to sort out his things.
Two days passed, Daniel and Teal'c had visited as concerned for Sam's welfare as Jack had been. Sam had mainly slept, eaten and thrown up. Jack had mainly cooked, cleaned up and made sure Sam didn't do anything.
"Hey Colonel, Sam's results are back, can you bring her in?"
"Sure Doc, this afternoon okay?"
"Yeah, see you then." Jack hung up the phone.
"Are my results back?" Sam asked making Jack jump.
"Geez Carter, I thought you were asleep!" He said sitting in the armchair next to her. "Yeah, she wants us to go in today."
"How did she sound? Worried?" Sam asked anxiously.
"Uh, too be honest I think she sounded a bit distracted. Daniel probably walked in with his arm hanging off or something."
"Yeah."
"Sam, you'll be fine-it's probably a weird case of the flu or something." He clapped her on the shoulder. "Come on, you have to get dressed."
Half an hour later Jack was walking Sam into Janet's office.
"Uh Colonel, could you leave us for a while?" Janet asked pointing to the door.
"Sure, I'm gonna go find T." He said before disappearing.
"It's not bad is it Janet-you'd tell me if it was bad?" Sam asked quickly.
"Sam, as you know I did every test possible, twice. One of the tests turned out positive both times so I checked it again...Sam you're pregnant."
