Chapter Twenty-One
They looked down at their two younger sons watching them drink way there happily till they had enough. Jack picked up Harry and burped him while Sam burped Hank and then held them till they fell asleep. Jack put them both back in their cribs while Sam put her gown back on. Jack buttoned them up for her then sat on the edge on the bed looking at her.
"They are beautiful, Sam, all four of them."
"Yes they are." Jack leaned forward and gave her a kiss.
"Thank you for giving me a second chance of being a father."
"Thank the virus."
"And you." She smiled at him.
"Sam, over the past few weeks, getting to know you and watching our sons grow with in you; waking up with you in my arms, feeling our sons kick under my hand. What I'm saying is, will you marry me? We can have a long engagement or a short one, whatever you want, Sam, is fine with me."
"You still want to marry me?"
"Yes, I love you, Sam."
"I love you too, Jack, and I know in the last few months have been wonderful and I have enjoyed waking up with you in my arms and what you have done but I know that you still keep some things from me. I know that you been up to something. What is it, tell me."
"It is a surprise. Only Jacob and Doc knows about it and they thought it is a great idea and your dad said that you will love it."
"So you're not going to tell me?"
"Nope, but I'll show you it soon. I'm just waiting for a couple of things to come."
"Jack?"
"Yes, Sam?"
"Well, since you said Dad knows and he's ok whatever you're up to, then it's fine with me." Jack smiled.
"Good, now to the important question. Will you, Samantha Carter, marry me?"
"So long as I keep my maiden name."
"Yes."
"Well the answer is yes, I will marry you." Jack smiled then pulled her into his arms and hugged her, then they both kissed.
"Doh! The ring's at home." She laughed.
"Well, when you go home to get me some clothes you can get it then."
"Sweet." then they both kissed till they heard the door up and they turned around to see Janet walking in.
"Hi Doc! Coming to check on the kids and Sam?"
"Yes and for you two to fill out these forms for their birth certificates" she passed four files and two pens to them.
"Ok, thanks."
They opened up a file each and looked it over then signed all four of them. They looked at the birth weight of each of their children to find them all over four pounds. They all had Jack's hair and eyes, but they had Sam's mouth, chin and nose. When done, they passed them back to Janet.
"So, Doc, when can Sam and our kids get out of here?"
"I want to keep them in here for a week since it's Sam's first pregnancy and the size of babies."
"Ok, thanks." Then she walked out leaving them alone.
"How are you feeling?"
"Tired."
"Well then why don't you get some rest before everyone wants to come in here." She smiled.
"Ok, what about you?"
"Me? I'm going to go home and get you some clothes and nightwear to wear while in here and also go and get you some more shampoo and body lotion since you are almost out."
"Thanks, Jack."
"You're welcome. Now close your eyes and get some rest."
"Ok."
He gave her a kiss before she closed her eyes and fell asleep a couple of minutes later. He watched her before getting up from the bed and checking on their sons before walking out of the room. He was walking down to the locker room when he saw Jacob and the others walking towards him.
"Jack, how's Sam?"
"Good, she resting and so are the kids."
"Ok, where are you of to?"
"Home to pick up few things for Sam and our kids."
"Ok. You don't mind if I come with you?"
"Sure, how are you feeling?"
"Good, Selmak is resting at the moment."
"Ok, so shall we?" Then he looked at the tok'ra.
"Don't worry, we will return."
"Colonel, what did you mean, new members of the tok'ra and SGC alliance?"
"Doc ran some tests last week, all the kids have got the protein marker in them but no naquadah."
"Ok, let me know when you return."
"Yes sir, shall we, Jacob?"
"Sure, see you when we return, George."
Then Jack and Jacob went to the men's locker room where they both got changed and headed to the surface and got into Jack truck and headed out of the mountain.
"So, Jacob. How are you feeling about being a grandfather again?"
"Good, I've been given a second chance thanks to Selmak and now all I want to do is mend a lot of fences in my family."
"Yeah, that is a good thing. We've both been given a second chance."
"True, where are we going?"
"You will see," Jack said.
Few minutes later Jack pulled up outside a baby shop and they both got out and walked into the shop. Jacob followed Jack after he got a trolley. When they walked down the aisle where Jack wanted to go, he started putting things into the trolley.
Jacob looked at what Jack was getting. It was the blue care bear cot set; He was putting a lot of blue care bear things in the trolley. When finished, they walked up to the counter where Jack paid for them all. Then they walked out of the shop with bags in hand.
Once they were in the back, they got into the truck and headed to the store where Sam gets her body lotion and shampoo. Jacob stayed in the truck while Jack went to get them, then returned with bag in hand.
"Jacob, are you ok?"
"What yeah, Selmak has woken up."
"That's good. How is she?"
"Good, we were just talking. That is something I'll have to get used to."
"Ok."
"Where to now?"
"Toy shop, well since we don't know how long before you have to return."
"True, thanks."
They stopped outside a toy shop and walked in to see what they had. After seeing all the different bears, he finally chose 'good luck', 'wish', 'tender heart', and 'secret' bears for the kids. Once paid for, they got back into the truck and headed home.
When they arrived there Jack sorted out the care bear cot sets. He put them all through the washing machine. While they were going through, he went upstairs to the bedroom and packed a few things for Sam and for the boys since two days earlier Jack washed some of the babies clothes and diapers.
When he got everything packed up, he checked on their mail and collected her magazines that she ordered and checked the answering machine. When the washing was finished, he put them through the dryer before he and Jacob left to head back to the base. On the way he stopped off at the florist to get Sam some red roses. When they arrived back at the base, they carried everything down to the infirmary. When they walked in Sam was still asleep so they quietly walked in and put everything down on to the chairs and the end of the bed. Jacob walked over to where his grandsons were and smiled when he saw them. While he was looking at them, Jack quickly and quietly slipped the ring onto her finger before walking over to where Jacob was.
"They are beautiful," Jacob said.
"Yes, they are." Then JJ woke up. Jack picked him up and rocked him for a moment.
"Want to hold him?"
"Sure." Jack pass JJ to Jacob, he looked down at him as JJ looked up at Jacob with his brown eyes.
"Hello there, I'm your grandfather," he said smiling. They talked for a minute before JJ started crying.
"Someone's hungry," Sam said. They turned to see Sam looking at them.
"Hey, how are you feeling?"
"Thirsty."
"Ok what would you like?" Jacob asked when he passed JJ to Sam.
"Water, thanks, Dad."
"Ok, I'll be right back."
"Ok." Then he walked out of the room.
Jack walked over to Sam and undid the button of the gown so she could move it down and then held JJ to her breast. While he was drinking happily she looked up to see Jack staring at her.
"When did you get back?"
"Few minutes ago, I brought a few things from home for you and our kids."
"Thanks."
She looked down at JJ then looked up to see two dozen long stem red roses and care bears at the end of the bed.
"Jack, they're beautiful, thank you!"
"You're welcome. Dad brought the bears." She smiled.
"Thanks, how is he?"
"Good, Selmak fixed him up good as new. He said he's got to get used to having another voice in his head."
"Ok, I know what that was like."
"Yeah." Sam looked at her left hand then back at Jack.
"I love the ring, Jack."
"That's good to know." They looked down at their son for a minute to see that he has had enough so Sam move him to her shoulder so she could burp him. There was a knock on the door, Jack moved Sam's gown up and did up one button.
"Come in." Jacob walked in with a bottle of water.
"Hey, here you go," he passed her the bottle of water.
"Thanks, Dad. Would you like to hold him?"
"Sure." She passed him JJ then she picked up the bottle of water and opened it. She took couple of mouthfuls.
"Thanks for the bears, Dad."
"You're welcome, Sam."
They talked for a couple of minutes then Jake woke up for his feeding. Jack picked him up and passed him to Sam while Jacob put JJ down then he gave Sam a kiss before walking out of the room so she could breast feed him. Jack undid the button for Sam and then sat down and watched.
"Sam, your dad called Mark and gave him the good news."
"That was good of him."
"It is and he also gave me his permission to marry you." Sam smiled at him.
"That was good of him."
"Yes, it is."
They talked for an hour. In that time Harry and Hank woke up for their feeding and diaper change. After Hank was put back into his crib Sam got up to go to the ladies room, then one of the nurses removed the butterfly stiches for Sam before she went and had a long hot shower. When she returned Jack was there waiting for her.
"Hey, dad was in here just before."
"Was he?"
"Yeah, he's going to go with the tok'ra."
"Ok, when?"
"Soon."
"Well then we better go and see him and the tok'ra off."
"Why don't we take the kids so they could see them?"
"Sure, that's fine by me."
"Good I knew you would agree to it. The kids are ready and waiting," he said smiling.
"What?" she turned to see the stroller and walked over to it and saw their sons in it. She smiled when she saw them wrapped up in their blue blankets. Jack walked up to her and wrapped his arms around her waist.
"You can be full of surprises, Jack."
"I know, so when you are ready." Sam put her slippers and robe on.
"Ok, let's go."
They walked out of the room with Jack pushing the stroller and Sam next to him. It is the first time the personnel had seen the kids and smiled when they looked at them. When they reached the gate room, SG1, Hammond, Jacob and the tok'ra were there getting ready to leave.
"Sorry we were late," Jack said smiling.
"Jack, are you going to tell us what you and Sam had?" Daniel asked.
"Yes, this one is JJ short for Jonathan Junior, Jacob, Harry and Hank." Jack pointed to each of his sons.
"Four boys, wow congratulations, both of you," Daniel said
"Thanks Daniel," Sam said. They all looked at the four boys and smiled.
"Dad, Jack told me you are going with the tok'ra."
"Yes I am. I hope you're not disappointed."
"No, but you know where I am and what I do now."
"Yes and you know what? This is way better than NASA." They both smiled and hugged.
"Thanks and we will let you know the date for the wedding."
"Wedding? What wedding?" Daniel said.
"Sam and I are getting married. We haven't set a date yet."
"Is there anything else you're not telling us?" Jack and Sam looked at each other.
"No," they said at the same time.
"Jack, you look after them or else." They shook hands.
"Don't worry Jacob, if I didn't by the time you could get to me I'd be black and blue."
"Why? Who's going to beat you up?"
"Doc with big honkin' needles." They all laughed.
"Don't worry, Dad. If he doesn't, I'll give him the dirty job for a month."
"That's what your mother said when she threatened me when you and Mark were babies. I messed up once and well Mark had upset stomach and the meds the doc gave him, woo it would of knock me on my six."
"Well I know Jack will keep us happy and safe."
"I know," They both hugged.
"It's time to go. Look after yourselves."
"We will and any problems, you know where we are."
"Thanks."
Then the gate started spinning they talked for another minute then the wormhole was formed. Jacob and Sam hugged one last time before he left with the tok'ra and Selmak former host. When Jacob was at the top of the ramp he turned to see Jack and Sam, arms around each other.
"Selmak said don't call us, we will call you."
"Don't worry, Dad, we will be calling you about wedding," Sam said.
"We will be looking forward to it," he smiled then turned around and walked through the gate and then it shut down.
