A/N: SG-1 has ended the time loop and now Sam wants a future with Jack. Will they get what they want and most definitely deserve?
CHAPTER 11
As the new lovers walked down the stairs to the embarkation room, Jack briefly brushed his fingers against hers and as she turned to look at him, he gave her a smirk and said one simple word "Sweet"
Sam remained silent, but returned his smile with one of her own. After they bid the two other members of their team farewell, they made their way to the infirmary for their own pre-mission check up. They had the usual tests, blood work included. Just as they had finished the Klaxons sounded and a voice came through the speakers, Colonel O'Neill and Major Carter to the control room.
Without facing her Jack said, "Looks like we're up Carter"
"Yeh" came her reply
"You Ok Sam?" he queried.
As she got up and headed to the door she finally answered, "Yes Sir, I'm fine" and as they left the infirmary and the walls no longer had ears, she expressed her concern "What if dad's with them? What if he can tell things are different?"
"Don't worry Sam, we'll cross that bridge when we come to it. Lets just go see what has to be done" he replied encouragingly.
As they entered the control room, all her concerns left her as she saw her dad again. It felt like forever since she had seen him and now that so much had happened, she just wanted to be her daddy's little girl again, even if just for a brief moment. And as he wrapped his arms around her and kissed her on the forehead, she had that, she felt safe and all her uncertainties left her.
When Sam finally let her father go, his concerned face close to hers, he asked, "Hey Sammie, what's up?"
Trying to mask her expression "Ask me another time dad"
"Sam?"
"Not now dad" and then looking at Jack, Sam continued, "What is it that you need Colonel O'Neill and myself for?"
Sam was too slow in schooling her expression as she looked at Jack and Jacob didn't miss it. Immediately he knew something had changed, but as he wasn't yet sure of the status of the relationship, he decided to asked General Hammond a few vague questions when they were alone.
"Need your particular talents on some reconnaissance. Well a little more than recon, we need your help in sabotaging a guidance computer aboard a new Goa'uld mother ship.
"Sounds like fun, you up for a little bit of blowing stuff up Carter" Jack joked.
"Sure thing Sir"
"Ok, then lets get geared up and get going. See you in 15 minutes Jacob"
After Sam and Jack left the briefing, Jacob followed General Hammond into his office.
"How are things George?" asked the Tok'ra
"Not bad thanks Jacob. You?"
"Never better. Say George, had any problems resulting from the time loop?"
"Not that we've discovered, why do you ask?"
"No reason, just curious".
Knowing exactly what Jacob was referring to, the General asked, "Sam seems happier these days"
"Yeh, I noticed that, has something happened to change that?"
"I believe so, but now is not the time or place to discuss this. I'll fill you in later, unless she does of course"
"Sure thing George, but I doubt very much that she's gonna have that conversation with me any time soon. What I want to know is what you plan to do about it".
"Nothing at this stage. We'll have to wait and see how things pan out".
As they stepped through the event horizon on some unknown planet, Jacob immediately put them on the spot.
"So guys, what's knew"
"Um nothing Dad" answered his daughter
"Same old same old Jacob" answered his daughter's lover.
"So how long have you two been a couple"?
"Huh" Jack responded
"WHAT?" asked a shocked Sam.
"Cut the crap kids, its obvious by the look on your faces. But what gave it away was how Sam looked at you in the briefing".
"Oh God Dad, I'm sorry" pleaded Sam
"Jacob, Sir, General …" Jack stammered
"Hey Sammie, don't apologise, I'm not upset, well the Air Force General in me is a little shocked, but as your dad, I'm happy for you. As long as you're happy, but you really have to be careful of your expressions in mixed company"
"That's what General Hammond said"
"Of course he did. Guys this could have serious consequences for everyone, even General Hammond for not reporting a suspected infraction".
"We know that Sir, but…I love her"
"Please Jack, you know better than to call me Sir and you'd have to love her to take the risk you are both taking. I'm meeting with General Hammond when we get back to Earth, I'll see if we can't come up with some contingency in case things get messy"
"Thanks Dad"
"No problem Sammie, now lets get back to the task at hand. Who wants to go blow up some Goa'uld technology?"
"We do" they replied in unison.
As they staggered out of the wormhole, General Hammond was there to meet them as usual.
"How did it go Jacob?"
"Really well George, these two really know their stuff"
"Of course we do" Jack quipped.
"OK Colonel O'Neill, Major Carter off to the infirmary, debriefing in 1 hour"
They walked in companionable silence to the infirmary. It had been a long day and Sam was suddenly feeling dizzy, she reached out for Jack's arm and as he turned in surprise at her touch, he saw her face pale and then she fainted. Catching her, he carried her to the infirmary, calling out to the doctor as he entered. "Doctor Frasier, Sam's just fainted".
"I'm not surprised. I just got the blood work back from the pre-mission testing"
"And..?"
"She's pregnant Colonel O'Neill".
