Author's notes: Sorry for the delay on this, I'm back to work now - but the parent's are still on holiday so we've been going places and doing things. Also been working on producing slightly longer chapters. Go me. Also beginning to think my laptop hates me. *sigh*.
Let me know what you think, leave a review, make my day. Enjoy!
Chapter 2.
Sam leaned against the door frame and watched with a happy smile on her face as her son gripped the small fishing rod in his chubby little hands.
Absently she caressed her bump with both hands. She remembered when her energetic son was nothing more than a dream.
Running a hand through her hair she walked out of the cabin and towards her family. She didn't care that she was still wearing her husbands oversized t-shirt and his boxers. No one would see them. There was no one around for miles.
She sat down on the dock, her legs dangling over the edge. Her feet were in the cool water.
"We's fishing Mommy!" George exclaimed excitedly.
"We sure are baby," she smiled up at him as she began to swing her legs slightly, the water cooling her feet and ankles.
Sam continued to slowly swing her legs in the water as she looked around. She loved the cabin. She never expected to love it as much as she did. Jack had always told her how amazing it was. She never believed him. It was one time in her life where she was happy to be proved wrong.
It wasn't long before George fell asleep on his fathers lap. Jack smiled down at the exhausted boy. He took the fishing rod from his limp hands before it had a chance to fall to the dock.
"You'll scare the fish away if you keep doing that," Jack teased her as she lazily continued to swing her legs.
"Is that why you haven't caught anything yet?" Sam teased back, glancing at her husband in the early morning light.
"I'd be willing to bet yes," he smiled back.
Sam dragged her legs out of the water and spun around to face her family. Soon they would be a family of four. She unconsciously placed a hand on her bump.
"You love being pregnant, don't you?" he asked as he repositioned George.
"Yeah, I really do," she smiled back. Jack could see that she meant every word by the way her eyes lit up.
"We could keep doing it," he offered.
"Doing what?"
"Getting pregnant," he said lightly.
"I don't think I could do this forever. There will come a point where having too many kids will be unfair. We couldn't possibly spend enough quality time with all of them as well as doing our jobs. It's a nice thought though."
"Maybe we could cap it at three?" he asked as he stroked his sons arm.
"Three," she nodded in reply, smiling, before standing up. "I'm gonna go for a shower. Have fun fishing," she said as she bent over to kiss his forehead and traced his face with her hand.
"Daddy is one lucky man, George," he whispered to his sleeping son as his wife walked away. "A very lucky man."
Sam stood under the spray of the shower and wet her hair thoroughly. She smiled widely. She still couldn't believe how lucky she was to have such an amazing husband. She never failed to notice the attention he got from other women. He was an extremely handsome guy; he couldn't help but attract attention.
She loved watching all the other women's faces as he walked by them without a first glance. They all threw daggers at her for having his full unwavering attention, but she couldn't bring herself to care.
He screamed alpha. And he was her alpha.
She gazed at her bump before lathering her hair. She was more than okay with getting pregnant a third time.
"Mommy!" George called to her as she dried herself with a towel.
"Just a minute baby," she called back as she pulled on her underwear.
"Daddy says I's good at fishing!" he said excitedly from the other side of the door.
"You sure are baby!" she agreed as she pulled on her dress.
"'Gain after lunch Mommy?" George asked as she opened the door.
"I don't see why not!" Sam smiled as she opened her arms.
George held up his arms and wrapped them around his mother's neck once he was safely on his mother's hip. George smiled at his mother just before a flash caught their attention.
Jack stood at the end of the hall with a camera in his hands. He grinned as George snuggled into his mother's neck.
"That's a beautiful photo," Jack said as he waved the camera in his hand.
"I haven't even dried my hair," she laughed.
"You're gonna blow dry your hair, when there's free heat outside? Let it dry naturally. We have all week you know."
"You're right. No one's gonna see the mess but the three of us."
"That's my girl," Jack said cheerfully. "You'll look beautiful baby. You always do."

"How late is SG-1 with checking in Sergeant?" General Hammond asked as he came to a stand still beside the gate technician.
"Just under an hour Sir," Walter Davis replied.
"Dial the gate," Hammond instructed.
"Yes Sir," Davis said as he begun the dialling procedure.
"SG-1 this is Hammond. Come in."
Silence greeted the older man. He began to get worried. SG-1 had a habit of finding trouble no matter where they went. As far as they knew the planet was deserted. Only the ruins remained.
But it wouldn't be the first time they had ran into trouble on a seemingly deserted planet.
"SG-1 do you read?"
Silence.
"SG-1 come in."
Silence.
"Take a look around the gate," Hammond instructed. "Ready a UAV. I want to know where they are."
"Yes Sir."
Twenty minutes later the UAV soared through the event horizon.
Hammond watched the screen as the other planets landscape appeared before him.
"Follow the path to the ruins."
"Yes Sir."
Hammond clenched his fists at his sides. He was convinced that his flagship team actually enjoyed worrying him. It was a rare occasion when things went smoothly with SG-1.
The landscape moved on the screen. Hammond couldn't help but notice how beautiful the alien planet was. The UAV soared effortlessly through the sky. Hammond watched as a large field of poppies came into view.
"There!" he announced as he pointed to the screen. "Jackson and Teal'c."
He frowned as the UAV hovered over their position. They looked as though they were sleeping. Daniel lay on his front with his arms and legs spread wide around him. Teal'c lay on his back with a frown on his face.
"Where are O'Neill and Carter?" Hammond asked.
"Not in this field Sir. Do you want me to check in another direction?" Siler asked as he spun the UAV around.
"Take it back to the gate. Try all the other paths. Sergeant, get a medical team assembled. Hazmat suits. I'm not taking any chances on this. Something has managed to knock Teal'c out. This could be very dangerous."
"Yes Sir," both sergeants replied.
After travelling down several paths leading away from the Stargate, Siler finally found the other two members of SG-1.
"Sir," he called over to Hammond, who was talking to Janet Fraiser.
"Sergeant?" Hammond inquired as he walked over to the other man, Dr Fraiser a step behind him.
"I found them Sir. They're on the path leading east. In a field of poppies. Just like Dr Jackson and Teal'c," he motioned to the screen.
Hammond sighed as he took in the scene before him. His 2IC was on his back as much as his pack would allow with his arm around his 2IC's shoulder while she hugged his leg and rested her head on his lap. It was a very compromising position.
He knew of their feelings towards the other. He had chosen to ignore the results of the Za'tarc test. They worked well together and always got the job done. He had no reason to split up the flagship team. There was no evidence to suggest that their relationship was anything other than professional.
"Be careful Doctor," Hammond nodded to his CMO.

"I love you baby," Jack whispered to his wife as he wrapped his arms around her waist as she washed the dishes. "So much."
"I love you too," she replied as she leaned into his strong embrace.
"I can't wait until you get bigger," he rested his hands on his growing child. "I can't wait to feel this one kick."
"It won't be long until that happens. Could happen anytime now."
"Baby, you've made me the happiest man in the galaxy. What did I ever do to deserve you and all you've given me?" he kissed her neck causing her knees to weaken. "Easy baby," he laughed against her skin.
"I'm the lucky one," she whispered as he held their child securely in his hands.
"I think you've gotten the two of us confused," he breathed against her ear.
"You just don't get how amazing you really are, do you?" she asked as she dried her hands before turning around and wrapping her arms around his neck.
"Just from what you keep telling me," he smirked.
"Jack, do you honestly believe I would be here if I didn't want to be? Pregnant for the second time? With your baby? And discussing a third?"
"I guess not," he sighed as he traced the curve his child created. "I'm glad you're here. I've wanted this for a very long time."
"As have I," she smiled before kissing him soundly.
"God, I love you," he whispered against her lips.
"I love you too."
"Don't ever leave me."
"Wild horses."
Jack ran his long fingers through her long hair. He was glad when she decided to grow it out. He liked to play with long hair. It suited her perfectly. He smiled as he kissed her again. He felt her arms wrap around his neck. He sighed. He was perfectly happy.

The medical team split in two as soon as they were through the Stargate. Janet led four others along the path heading east towards Jack and Sam. Another five headed north towards Daniel and Teal'c.
It took Janet and her team of doctors and nurses just under and hour to reach their patients.
Janet sighed and looked at her friends with worry. At first glance they just looked as though they were sleeping. But she knew there had to be more to it than that. She knew they would never just curl up together for a nap. Especially off world.
She stepped closer to them and knelt down by Jack. She could see the agitation on his face. It was barely there but she could she could see it. She was glad she knew him as well as she did, otherwise she would have missed it completely.
He groaned slightly in his sleep as he moved his head and tightened his grasp on the woman curled around him.
"Colonel?" Janet asked as she laid a hand on his shoulder. "Can you hear me?"
"Mmph," he sighed as he moved his head again.
"Let's get them out of the field," Janet told her team once they were finished their quick once over's.
Two doctors began to undo the grip Sam had on Jack's leg. She protested in her sleep while reaching out for the leg she had curled around. Jack, sensing she was moving away, tightened his grip on her again.
"Okay," she sighed. "We need to move them together."
Awkwardly, the group of five began to move the two sleeping soldiers. Janet removed their packs to make it easier on everyone and walked out of the field. She was the smallest member of the group and the other four were already moving the two soldiers onto the now strapped together stretchers.
"This is going to be interesting," Janet mused.

"As far as I can tell Sir, they're sleeping," Janet told him as the looked at the four SG-1 members in the isolation room below them.
"Just sleeping?" Hammond questioned.
"Yes Sir. Dr Carson brought a sample of the flower back to study as requested. Hopefully we'll know something soon."
"Keep me informed."
"Yes Sir," Janet nodded as Hammond walked out of the observation area.
Janet and her team had eventually managed to peel Sam from Jack's leg. They needed to check each member of the team thoroughly for any injuries or infections. They had all come back clean. They had been forced to give them sedatives to calm them down, but Janet could see that the military half were beginning to get agitated again.
She looked at her watch. The sedatives would be wearing off. She sighed and shook her head as she walked out of the observation room. She wondered if pushing their beds closer together would make any difference in their agitated state.

George giggled loudly and infectiously as he kicked his legs through the water. He was soaked from head to toe but he didn't care. Sam held his hand as he played.
It was meant to be a nice paddle along the shallowest part of the lake, but it had ended up as a splash fest that seemed to never end. Jack watched from his chair on the dock, fishing rod over his lap and a camera in his hand.
He laughed along with his son. The little boy was having fun. And that made him extremely happy. He was willing to bet the smile on his wife's face meant that she was also extremely happy.
He had fallen in love with her smile years before. Back when she was totally off limits. He had thought he had seen her happy smile then. He was wrong. That smile paled in comparison to the one that currently graced her face.
Nothing made her happy like knowing her child was happy.
