Setting: right in the middle of the episode Threads at the end of season 8. Right after Sam broke up with Pete but before the fishing trip.

Disclaimer: I own nothing. Wish I did. But don't.

A/N: I know the first chapter is short but the rest of the chapters are longer. Also some of the lines came directly from the transcript of the episode Threads I put them in italics. But not everything in italics is from the script, just the stuff said by Pete and the stuff in italics at the beginning of the last chapter. With that said, enjoy.

"I knew from the beginning." "You were worth the risk." "Don't say I deserve better. Can't get much better than you." "I guess all I can say is: I hope you get what you want."

His words played again and again in her head. It was all she could think about and when she'd finally stop hearing his voice her head was filled with her own voice asking the same questions over and over.

"Did I make a mistake?" "Should I have just gone through with it?" "Could I have learned to love him?" "Should I tell General O'Neil?" "What would I say?" "Did breaking it off even change anything?"

Sam sat in a dark room staring at a wall and thinking, thinking about those same questions that she'd been thinking about for the last week, ever since she broke it off with Pete. The sound of her cell phone ringing echoed through the house. Slowly she got the nerve to answer it.

"Hello"

"Hi. Is this Samantha Carter?" the voice on the phone asked.

"Uh-huh." She bit her lip knowing what this call was about.

"You're test results are in."

"Uh-huh" She said again, praying her suspicions were wrong, for once.

"They're positive! Congr-" Sam hung up the phone before the nurse could say anymore.

A whole new group of questions filled her mind.

"Can I do this alone?" "Should I keep it?" "Should I tell anyone?" "Who can I tell?" "Do I take time off work?" "Can I work like this?" "What do I do now… What do I do now?"
