Chapter Thirteen

Daniel was obviously stunned. He wasn't sure what to say, but when he finally found his voice all he was able to do was stutter, "You…you want me…and Sam…to…"

Janet actually giggled at his helpless look, "No Daniel! I definitely don't want you to sleep with Sam."

'Then…" Daniel trailed off.

"Daniel" Sam began, "You are like a brother to me and I love you dearly, but Janet means too much to me. I love her too much to ever, EVER, be with anyone else. Not to mention that you certain parts that do not interest me at all. All we are asking is that you donate sperm."

"Take your time to consider it Daniel." Janet added, "I know it can't be an easy decision, but we need you to truly understand what we are asking you. He or she won't know you are their father. Not until they are really old enough to understand. We want you involved heavily in the child's life, but it would be as an Uncle and Godfather, nothing more."

Daniel simply nodded, already lost in thought. Sam stood and pulled Janet up with her. Approaching Daniel they both leaned down and placed a kiss on his cheek. "We love you Daniel." Janet said softly. "We are going to let you think. Stay as long as you need."

"Thank you, Daniel." Sam said quietly.

Once they were settled in bed, with Janet tucked into her wife's side, she asked. "Do you think he will do it Sammy?"

Sam gently kissed her head, "I don't know, baby-girl, but I think so. But, my love, if he doesn't then we have other options. We will have our family, Janet. I promise you we will."

"I love you, Sammy." Janet said softly. "The last six years have been so hard. Loving you from afar, trying to be only friends when all I really wanted to do was love you. Fearing that I might have to watch as you found someone else to love, or worse, watching as you finally gave in the Jack O'Neil." She rose up to look her wife in the eyes. "There were so many times when I was afraid that I had lost you, Samantha. I wouldn't know how to live without you in my life, especially now that I can call you my lover, my partner, and my wife."

Sam reached up and pulled Janet's face down to hers, catching her lips in a kiss that spoke of love, desire, happiness, and so much more. When she finally broke the kiss she cupped Janet's face. "You are my life, my heart, and my soul, Janet. You are my best friend, my lover, my partner, and my wife. The last six years have not been easy for us, but we have been able to build such a strong foundation that I know our relationship will survive. You and I will have the rest of our lives together. To hold one another, love one another, support one another, and cherish one another. We share a bond so strong that we can feel each other's emotions, baby-girl. This is for eternity."

Janet kissed the blond long and tenderly, pouring all her love and devotion into the kiss. Until the need for air drove them apart. Gently stroking her face she said, "I love you Sammy, my beautiful partner, my loving wife. You make me so happy. You make my life complete in a way that nothing else ever could." She gently kissed Sam's tears away. "If Daniel wasn't already sitting in shock in our living room I would make love to you until you screamed."

Sam took a deep breath, "Janet…" She whispered, pulling her wife close, "Don't tease me with things I can't have, my love." Janet laughed softly, "Come on, we need sleep. We still have a lot to do, but tomorrow I will be the one making love to you till you scream."

Janet kissed her once more before snuggling into the tall blonde's side. The two lovers simply held each other until they drifted off into a deep sleep.

Sam woke in the morning to the delicious sensation of Janet sucking on one breast while messaging the other. Sam arched her back with a moan, "oh…god…"

Janet suckled for a few more moments before releasing her prize and moving up to capture Sam's lips in a fierce kiss. She straddled the blonde's hips and pressed their center's together. Both women moaned loudly as their wetness mixed together. Continuing to kiss Sam fiercely, the auburn haired beauty began to slowly grind their sopping wet centers together. It was a delicious friction and their arousal spiked every time their clits touched. Both women were moaning into the other's mouth as their climax built. The closer they got to that sweet release the harder and quicker their movements became.

Suddenly Janet screamed into Sam's mouth as she came. The feeling of Janet's thick release flowing into her caused Sam to follow her with a muffled scream. Janet collapsed on to her wife's chest panting and gasping for breath. It never ceased to amaze her at how passionate they were with each other, how much they both desperately loved one another. Sam held her close as they both rode out the last tremors of their orgasm.

Eventually Sam recovered enough to force Janet's face up to meet hers in a tender kiss. Pulling back Janet stared lovingly into her partner's clearly blue eyes, "good morning, Darling."

Sam smiled, "After a wakeup call like that. It's a great morning." Moving Janet's hair out of her face she asked softly, "What did I do to deserve such a wake up?"

Janet smiled, "Simply the fact that I love you, and that I am loved by you." Rolling off of Sam and getting out of bed Janet held out her hand, "Come, my love, as much as I want to spend several more hours ravishing you, we have a very long day ahead of us."

Sam smiled as she got out of bed. In one swift move she lifted Janet in her arms and carried her to the bathroom. She turned on the shower and only after stepping in did she place her precious bundle down. They had no need to break the comfortable silence. Finally entering the living room they found it empty.

"Daniel must have left some time last night." Sam said, "Or this morning. Hope he wasn't too traumatized." Janet chuckled as they made their way to the mess hall. When they entered they found Cassie, Elizabeth, and Daniel sitting together, while Jack and Teal'c were sitting with two other officers. It was obviously strange to see the well known SG1 split so, but as soon as Sam and Janet took their seat Teal'c came over to join them.

"Morning Teal'c." Sam greeted with a smile.

"Good morning, Colonel Carter, Doctor Fraiser." He dipped his head, "Daniel Jackson, Cassandra Fraiser, Dr. Weir."

"Morning T", "Hey Uncle T", "Good morning Teal'c" Came the replies.

"So are those our replacements?" Daniel asked the question that was burning into everyone's mind.

"Indeed, Daniel Jackson." Teal'c bowed his head, "Lt. Colonel Cameron Mitchell and Major John Sheppard."

Sam could sense a sadness about the large Jaffa. She reached across the table and placed a hand on his arm. "I really am going to miss you Teal'c. I'm sorry that things have gone this way, but I understand why you need to stay here. I just hope you will come visit us as often as possible. And we will always have a place for you."

"Samantha Carter." Teal'c said surprising them all. He had never used her first name, preferring to always honor her place a warrior. "I shall always consider every one of you my family. I too am sorry that you must leave, but I understand and wish you all the best of luck."

The next few months went extremely quickly for the Atlantis group. They finished picking the expedition by Wednesday, so the briefing was set for Monday. With Cassie busy training Sam, Janet, Daniel and Elizabeth took the next 4 days to deal with their personal property. Elizabeth flew back to D.C. while the other returned home. It was decided that Teal'c would rent out Janet and Sam's home as long as he might need, then the SGC would use it to house officers. Cassie joined them at night and by Sunday morning they had all their personal belongings packed. Janet and Sam also took the time to stock up on baby supplies for when the time came.

They made a quick trip to Area 51 to check on the Prometheus and to meet the Science department head, Gabrielle O'Conner. She would be joining the expedition but unable to make the briefing. Sam, Janet, and Daniel then flew to D.C.. The IOA had arranged for the briefings to be held in a secure room at the pentagon. The adults would come and sign a non-disclosure agreement before they were allowed to join. It was agreed that once the individual families agreed to join the mission they would have two weeks to pack up their lives and then they would be relocated to quarters on the Area 52 property. This allowed for the ability to make sure that no one, especially the kids, slipped up and talked about the trip, and to make sure no one was taking anything that was not allowed. It also allowed them to begin the first military training class. That group consisted on 10 teenagers who were 17 or older and had an interest in joining the military. They were not on the same accelerated program as Cassie and would not graduate until 3 months after arriving at Atlantis.

Sam requested that her military 2IC, and leader of SGA1, be allowed to join her at the SGC to help plan all military matters. Major Xena Taylor quickly agreed.

Within a week of their scheduled departure date they had all their plans submitted to the IOA for approval. The two groups were organized; Sam, Janet, Daniel, Cassie, Xena and 150 members would go through the gate with all the necessary supplies and secure Atlantis. Every member, except Sam, Janet, and Cassie were single and had no family encase the worst happened.

Once the city was clear and secure Sam would give Elizabeth the go ahead. She, along with Gabrielle, and Xena's 2IC, Major Mark Samuels, would bring the 375 remaining scientist, military, civilians, children and supplies on the Prometheus. A trip that would take them a month to make. That would give Sam's team a chance to get things organized.

Sam, Janet, Xena and all the other military members on the Command team were promoted again at the end of two months. Sam and Janet now held the rank of full bird Colonels and Xena was now a Lt. Colonel. Cassie was scheduled to graduate with the rank of Captain three days before their departure. She had surprised everyone with her skill and knowledge.

Everyone had expected to her to do well, but no one was ready for just how well. She flew through everything she was given, soaking up knowledge like a sponge. Her physical skills were beyond anything they had expected, and she had even managed to hold her own with Teal'c in most of their matches. She delighted herself with wiping the floor of all the pig headed young men who didn't believe what she was capable of. With some more practice she would be able to gain the same hand the hand rating that her mum and Xena held.

Xena and Elizabeth both made it a point to join the small family for their morning work outs, and they soon had a small crowd that would show up to watch them all spar each other.
