Chapter twenty one
The next morning after breakfast, Sam showed Mark the rest of the house while they talked. She showed him Jack's and her bedroom and bathroom. He was shocked at the size of them.
After showing him around, Jacob took him to the SGC and showed him around there and showed him the Stargate.
Jacob showed him the things that Sam built and stories behind them, everything. They were at the SGC for over three hours before returning back to Sam and Jack's place for late lunch.
After lunch, Sam and Mark talked alone for the next two hours in his guestroom. When they walked out and into the kitchen, Jack was there. When he saw her red puffy eyes, he said,
"Come here!"
He opened his arms and she walked into them. He rubbed her back, whispering soothing words to her, then he looked up at Mark.
"She told me everything that happened with Pete!" He shook his head and walked out of the kitchen leaving them alone.
"Hey, are you ok now?" Sam looked up at him.
"Yeah, I will be!"
"So, how am I going to cheer you up?"
"I don't think any thing will cheer me up at the moment!"
"Hey, let me try, please?"
"Sure!"
"Good!"
He leaned forward and gave Sam a kiss, when it became passionate, she wrapped her arms around him, then they both felt one of their son's kick, which made them break apart.
"Did you feel that?" Jack asked.
"Yes, one of our son's kicked!" Jack put his hands on her stomach and they felt it again.
"That is amazing!" Jack said.
"Yeah, it sure is!" Then Sam started to smile, so Jack got down on his knees.
"Hey there, kids! Thanks for helping me try to cheer your mummy up!" Then they felt a kick again! Jack looked up to see a smile on Sam's face.
"Nice work, guys, mummy's smiling!" Then he stood up and he wrapped his arms around her and pulled her to him.
"Well, at least our sons managed to cheer you up!"
"You're right there!"
Then they both kissed and they felt one of their son's kick again, which caused Sam to giggle, which caused them to break the kiss.
"Hey guys, that's not fair!" Then he looked at Sam and gave her a quick kiss.
"Better?"
"Much, thanks to our sons and you!"
"It was a team effort!"
"True!" They both hugged and kissed.
"So, how are you feeling?"
"Hungry!" She said, smiling.
"Of course, silly question! So, what would you like to have?"
"Something cold and sweet!"
"Cold and sweet? That I can handle. Dad's outside with the kids and I think that is where Mark is. Why don't you go and join them while I whip something up for you?"
"Thanks, Jack!" She gave him a kiss before she walked out of the kitchen.
"Cold and sweet, hmm!"
Then he had an idea, he got a bowl that Sam uses for her desserts out, then a tub of ice cream, which he was able to get out of the tub in one big lump. Then he got a bottle of chocolate sauce and put it in a bowl and put it in the sink and ran the hot water so the sauce would be runny.
Then he got chopped nuts out and sprinkled some over the ice cream. Then he got a banana and sliced it. Then he put slices all over the ice cream. Then he got the sauce after turning the hot water off and poured the sauce over the mixture with one hand and sprinkled more nuts with the other before the sauce started to go hard.
When finished, he got the whip cream out and put a smiley face on it, then he got a spoon and put it in the bowl. Then he quickly cleaned up the mess he made. Then he picked up the bowl and grabbed a couple bottles of water then he walked out to where they were.
When Sam walked out to where her family was she could hear Mark and Jacob talking about Pete.
"Hey!" They turned around.
"Sam, are you ok?"
"I will be dad!" She sat down between them.
"Where's Jack?"
"Getting me a snack!"
"Ah, ok!"
"Jack had a little help to cheer me up!"
"What help?" Sam put her hands over her growing stomach and smiled.
"They kicked?"
"One did when Jack was kissing me. It was the first time they kicked. Jack said that they wanted to help cheer me up and it worked!"
"That's good to know!"
"Jack said it was a team effort, so he went to hug me and kiss me when we both felt the kick again!" Jacob and Mark smiled.
"So Jack's happy then?"
"Yep! He's over the moon! At least this time he gets a chance to see everything happening!"
"Meaning?" Mark asked.
"Seeing me grow, morning sickness, the first kick, everything! He missed out on the first two pregnancies, at least he's been given a chance this time!"
"True! Jack, what have you got in that bowl?"
Sam turned around to see Jack walking out with a bowl in one hand, two bottles of water in the other and a smile on his face.
"Sam's cold, sweet snack. Here you go, sweetheart!"
He put the bowl down in front of her. When she saw what was in it, she smiled and licked her lips, then she got the spoon full and put it in her mouth and let out a moan, just as he put a bottle of water down for her.
"She's happy!" They looked at her munching away happily with a smile on her face.
"Yes, she is!"
They talked while Sam was enjoying her sweet snack and bottle of water. When she finished, she sat back patting her stomach.
"Thank you, Jack! The boys are happy and settling down for a while."
"And you?"
"Happy, also!" She said, smiling.
They talked for the next two hours, then Jack went back inside and got dinner sorted out. An hour and a half later, they all were sitting at the table enjoying their dinner while talking and laughing.
After dinner Mark said his good byes to the family since he had a plane to catch. Jacob drove Mark to the airport in Sam's SUV. After Mark and Jacob left, Jack and Sam went and give their kids a bath and got them into their pyjamas before watching an episode of the Simpson's before going to bed.
When Jacob returned, Jack had just put the kids to bed, so he was able to say 'good night' to them all before going to find out what Jack and Sam were up to.
He found them in the game room playing pool, so he sat down on a bar stool and watched them play while they all talked. When the game was over, Sam had won, and then Jacob played Jack where Jacob just won the game. After that, it was getting late, so they all turned in for the night.
The next day, Jacob returned back to the Tok'ra while Sam was working in her lab and kids were at day care and at school. Jack looked after things at home, keeping himself busy.
He showed up at the SGC at lunchtime with lunch for him and Sam. When the weather was fine, they sat at their normal spot on the mountainside having lunch, or they had it in her lab.
A week later, Jack got a call from the Police department letting him and Sam know that Pete had lost his job cause of what he did. Jack thanked the Captain before he hung up with a smile on his face.
So Jack grabbed his jacket, cell phone, wallet and keys before walking out the door. On his way to the SGC he called Sam.
"Carter!"
"Hey sexy, got any thing planned for the rest of the day?" He said smiling, knowing that Sam would be smiling also.
"Nothing much, why?"
"Well I'm on my way to pick you up and take you out to lunch!"
"Jack, sounds like you have some good news?"
"Yes, I'll tell you when I see you!"
"Ok, see you soon!"
Then they both hung up. Sam got things sorted out and closed everything down before she walked down to the locker room to get her jacket and bag. Then she walked to the elevators, which would lead up to the surface.
When stepping out of the elevators, she heard Jack yelling at an airman, so she walked over to find out what was going on. Jack saw her and smiled.
"Jack, what's going on?"
"This airman was going to let me walk past him without asking for any ID!"
"I see!" She looked at the pale airman.
"Airman, do you know who he is?"
"No, ma'am!"
"Well, if you had asked for his ID, then you would know! I want you to contact General Landry and tell him what you just did!"
"Yes, ma'am!"
"Did you let any one else through without checking their ID?"
"No ma'am, I've only just been on for ten minutes!"
"I see, next time ask for ID and check the computer before letting any one through!"
"Yes Ma'am!"
"Good, come on Jack, let's go!"
"Ok, Sam!" He held on to her hand as they walked to his tuck.
The airman was just about to call the General when Colonel Dixon stepped out of the elevator and over to where the airman was. When he saw Jack and Sam leaving, it made him smile and wonder where Jack was taking Sam for lunch. Then he turned to look at the pale airmen.
"Are you ok, airman?"
"Yes sir!... Sir, do you know that couple in the green SUV?"
"Yes! you're new here?"
"Yes sir!"
"Are you sure you're ok?"
"The man in the truck yelled at me for not asking for his ID, and the woman, she must be one of the scientists here, sir!"
"Did you just let the guy through with checking his ID?"
"Yes sir!"
"Who were you just about to call?"
"General Landry, to tell him what just happened. I was ordered to, but if the women is just a scientist, should I still call the General?"
"Shit yeah, you better, your lucky you're not on cleaning duty!"
"Sir, what do you mean?"
"You've heard of General O'Neill and General Carter?"
"Yes sir, they used to be on SG1 years ago!"
"Well you just meet them!"
"You mean?" He looked down where the exit was then back to the Colonel.
"That was the retired Major General Jack O'Neill and General Samantha Carter?"
"Yep, that's them!"
"Oh man, I sure screwed up big time!"
"Yes, you have and you better give the General a call, knowing Carter when she returns, she will be finding out if you called!"
"Yes sir! Have a good day, sir!"
"You too, airman!" then he walked away grinning.
"Jack, you will never change, poor kid!"
When Jack drove in to town, he drove them to the 'Famous Dave' restaurant for their lunch. When he parked the truck and turned off the motor, he turned and looked at Sam, she was smiling while looking at him.
"What?"
"Jack, you can be full of surprises!"
"Well thanks! Shall we?"
"Sure!"
They both got out and closed the doors and walked up to the front door just as Jack pressed a button that locked the doors and turned the alarm on.
When they walked inside, a women showed them to a table, since the place was three quarters full. Then she gave them their menus then walked back to the front just as more people walked in. A waitress walked over to them and they made their order, then she left. While waiting for their lunch, they both talked.
"So Jack, what's this news you couldn't tell me over the phone?"
"Shanahan got booted from the Police force after what he did!" Sam was shocked.
"Wow, was that the one that called?"
,
"Captain Davis did! After investigation for what he did to an Air Force officer and he knew about what had happened in the mall a few weeks back!"
"Wow, was there anything else?"
"Yes! They saw camera footage of a woman who claimed to be you making the complaint. She gave them her statement and a well-known forger, who made up the phoney driver's licence and Air Force ID, gave them his statement and showed him the recording of the meetings. Shanahan had it all planned since I returned from being frozen!" Then the waitress showed up with their first course and their drinks. They thanked her and she walked away.
"Well, I'm glad that it is all over!"
"Same here! Now we can think of our future and the future of our kids!" Sam smiled.
"Yes, that will be great! This looks great, and I am hungry!"
Then she took a bite of her chicken wing while Jack took a bite of his barbecue spare ribs since they were sharing the 'Dave's sample platter'.
They both talked over the next hour and a half while enjoying their meal. When they finished their lunch, Sam sat back rubbing her stomach.
"That was a good meal, Jack! Thanks for bringing me here!"
"Anytime sweetheart! So, what would you like to do?"
"I'll give the General a call to let him know that I'm taking the rest of the day off!"
"No need, after I called you I called him, he understands!"
"Jack, you shouldn't have!"
"I know, but I did, sorry!"
"It's ok. It's the thought that counts!"
"True! So, what would you like to do?" He said, smiling.
"Go shopping, since I haven't had much time because I've been busy!"
"Sure, where would you like to go?"
"The mall!"
"Sure, the mall it is!" Jack signaled the waitress over and he asked for the bill. A few minutes later, they both walked out and to Jack's truck and got in.
