Daniel noticed that several minutes had gone by since Vala had left, and Sam hadn't re-entered the office. He called,
"Sam?"
There wasn't a reply so he stood up and poked his head out of the doorway, only to see the corridor empty. He frowned slightly, recalling that she said that she would be outside. He then began to worry that something had happened so he ran to her lab. Finding it empty, he breathlessly ran to the Infirmary, where Lam said with a soft smile, out of earshot from the Nurses,
"Doctor Jackson, you should be taking things easy in your condition."
He nodded quickly and asked, "Have you seen Sam?"
She replied with a serious expression,
"She's waiting in my office…"
"Why? Is anything wrong?"
"She felt a little sick so she dropped by and I performed a blood test. The results should be here soon."
"Can I see her?"
"Sure."
He nearly ran past the Doctor to the office where Sam nervously sat in a chair, waiting for blood test results. He sat down next to her and asked,
"Sam, are you ok?"
Pulled out of her reverie, she replied with a slight smile,
"I think so…"
Sensing a 'but', he asked, "But…?"
"I don't want to get my hopes up, but I think it's morning sickness."
His eyebrows nearly shot through the roof, and he stammered,
"B-b-but you're not sure, right?"
She shook her head before resting it on his shoulder. She asked him,
"How did Vala go?"
"A little heatedly at first but we had a little chat… I think I set the ball into motion for her and Mitchell though."
She chuckled and remarked, "Those hormones must be getting to you."
He caressed her hair as he smiled before asking,
"If you are pregnant, do you think our babies are going to count as twins?"
Her face froze for a brief second as the idea filtered into her consciousness, and she eventually replied,
"Um, probably… although they're not in the same placenta… that's if I am pregnant though… for all we know, it could be sympathy pains or stress or the trauma."
Before he could reply, Lam entered the room, carrying a folder. She sat down behind her desk and flicked through several pages before speaking. She said in an exceedingly calm voice,
"This is very strange… Colonel, your blood work was clean in all previous tests, but now it's showing elevated levels of Oestrogen and Progesterone."
Sam's breath caught in her throat, as did Daniel's, and the Doctor continued with a smile,
"Congratulations Colonel Carter, you're pregnant."
Despite expecting the news somewhat, Sam couldn't help but let out a small sob. She turned to Daniel, chewing her lip, and whispering,
"I'm going to be a mother."
He replied with a smile as he squeezed her hand,
"Me too."
Lam cleared her throat and asked,
"Can I assume that you wish to keep the baby?"
Sam glanced at Daniel before remarking with a slow smile,
"Well, I can't have Daniel here going through this alone. Yes, I'm keeping my – our – baby."
Just at that moment, Cam knocked on the door, opened it and said, "Hey Doc…" before seeing Sam and Daniel. He remarked with a concerned expression,
"There you are – I was wonderin' where you guys had wandered off to… everything ok?"
Sam took a deep breath as she held Daniel's hand and she said,
"Yes… everything's fine… I won't be needing the pregnancy suit after all… I'm pregnant."
Cam stared at the two pregnant people in disbelief and exclaimed,
"Holy Kansas! It never rain but it pours with you two."
