An hour later

Janet completed her examination of Daniel, Samantha, and the children. They were all in excellent health. They didn't appear to be suffering from any illnesses. They were ready to get out of there.

"How are JJ and Sabrina, Janet? Are they alright?" asked Samantha.

"Everyone checks out in excellent shape Sam. How long ago did you give birth to Sabrina?" asked Janet.

"A little over three months ago. It actually was an easy delivery." replied Samantha.

"Remarkable Sam. You look in better shape now, then before you left." admired Janet. "I can't believe you just had a baby."

"It has been three months Janet. It's not as if I put on a lot of weight." replied Samantha.

"Of course Sam. By the way you look pretty good in that costume. You're quite rip and have a great tan. Are you sure you don't want Jack and General Hammond to see you in it?" teased Janet.

"I'm quite sure I don't. I don't want to get them too excited. And besides Jack would be teasing me for the next ten years." smiled Samantha.

"You have six weeks of maternity leave coming to you. If you want you can avoid everyone here for the next six weeks." offered Janet.

"Thanks Janet. I would like to spend more time with my little girl." replied Samantha as she cuddled her little girl.

Unbeknownst to Samantha, Janet had taken a few pictures of Samantha in her harem outfit. She told herself it was to show Cassandra, but in reality she knew someday they would come in handy.

"Sam, Sam, I found out Jack kept up the payments on your house. We can go there when you're ready to leave." puffed Daniel trying to catch his breath.

"Thanks Daniel, I'm ready to go now. I'm pretty tire. Didn't they want to debrief us?" asked Samantha.

"Yes, but I told them that it will have to wait, I need to get you and the kids settle. I did give them all the notes and notebooks from our time there including your observations. By the way I believe they think you're still back on P236458." grinned Daniel as he gave her a kiss.

"Really? How interesting." smiled Samantha.

"If you don't mind Sam, I can get you some groceries while you're getting some clothes and supplies for the kids." offered Janet.

"Thank you Janet, but one more thing though. The Colonel, Teal'c, and General don't know that I'm back, please don't tell " pleaded Samantha.

"Why Sam, they're your friends?" asked Janet with concern.

"I need time to reacclimatize myself to being back home. I also have to get the kids settled. There's too much to do and have to entertain the Colonel. You know that he will be over at the house all the time since he has nothing better to do." explained Samantha.

"If that's what you want Sam." replied Janet.

"I just want to see how long it takes for them to figure everything out." smiled Samantha.

General Hammond, Jack, and Teal'c were in the conference room. They were happy that Daniel Jackson had returned to back to earth, but they didn't understand why Major Carter hadn't returned with him.

"I don't understand Colonel, where is Major Carter? I would have expected her to come back with Doctor Jackson." asked a befuddled General.

"I don't know Sir. Daniel kept assuring me that she was fine, but she didn't wanted to see us right now. I don't understand what's going on Sir. It's not like Daniel to leave Carter behind." replied Jack.

"Maybe she wanted to stay behind Colonel O'Neill. Daniel Jackson has found himself a mate. He has a family now. Maybe Major Carter found a man and has a family too." offered Teal'c.

"I guess that's always a possibility Sir. They were gone for five years. Maybe she did find someone to love while she was there." sighed Jack in agreement.

"I don't want suppositions Colonel. I want facts." bellowed General Hammond.

A month later Daniel and Samantha invited Jack, Teal'c, Janet, and General Hammond to visit them at her house. Janet was in a particularly good mood as she rode along with the men. It was like she was going on one of their missions off world.

Jack and General Hammond still hadn't figured out that Samantha was back on earth and living with Daniel and their children. Samantha had been to the SGC to visit Janet twice for a check up for Sabrina.

She had coordinated with Janet to come in whenever Jack and Teal'c were off world and when General Hammond was too busy to know whether Samantha was around. She found it interesting that they were the only three people at the SGC who didn't know she was back.

It had been impossible for Samantha to avoid everybody she knew there. There were too many people in too small of a space. The word of her return to earth had spread slowly, and that she was living with Daniel and their two children.

"What are you smiling about Janet?" asked Jack not very amused.

"I'm just happy to be visiting the Jackson house hold. You know how much I love children." smiled Janet.

"Yeah, I forgot about the kids." replied Jack surly. He remembered his son Charlie at that age. He was a pain in the ass, always running and getting into things.

"By the was Jack, I don't think I was ever told the name of Doctor Jackson's wife. You wouldn't happen to know her name now would you Jack?" asked the General.

"No Sir. Now that you mention it, I don't know her name either." replied Jack.

"What about you Teal'c, do you know her name?" asked Jack. It always surprised him that Teal'c knew more about what was happing at the SGC than he did.

"No, Colonel O'Neill, I do not. But I have a strong suspicion that Doc Frazier does and is dying to tell us." answered Teal'c.

"Well Janet, do you know her name? You do seem to be rather smug about something sitting there." asked Jack.

"Who, little ole me?" smiled Janet sweetly. "I do believe her name is Doctor Jackson." Of course she knew her name. She had seen her when she came back and several times thereafter.

Now Teal'c was confused. It didn't make sense to him.

"How can Doctor Jackson's wife's name be Doctor Jackson?" he asked.

"I don't know Teal'c. I guess we can ask Daniel when we get to his house." replied an equally confused Jack.
