Chapter 26
"Hang on" and then they heard two clicks of a button.
"Jack, what's going on?"
"Morning to you too George."
"Sorry Jack; what is so important it couldn't wait."
"Well Grandpa George, with the extra pay from your promotion, you will have to buy two of everything from now on" Jack said, smiling at Sam who was sitting on his lap and running her fingers through his hair.
"What do you mean two… twins?"
"Yes sir, I'm carrying twins. We just found out this morning" Sam said.
"Well, congratulations to you both" he said.
"Same here; that is good news."
"Thanks sir, George. Everyone on base should know about it by now and I've already warned everyone not to take Sam's sweet, nutty dessert at lunch time, otherwise I'll have a cranky wife on my hands. You remember what happened last time George."
"Yes, I do."
"What happened George?" the President asked.
"One of the Marines took Colonel Carter's jello which was made up just for her. The guy was new to the SGC and the others told him not to take it but he did anyway. They were just finishing their lunch when Colonel Carter, who was seven months pregnant with Grace at the time, came in to get her lunch and she noticed that her dessert was missing. She looked around at everyone and asked who took it. They all pointed to the Marine Colonel and she walked over to their table and looked at him. The others told her that they had warned him but he didn't listen."
"What happened to the Marine Colonel?"
"Colonel Carter picked him up and had him pinned against the wall before any one knew what had happened. She yelled at him for taking her dessert and he laughed, like it was a joke. Then she kneed him in the crotch and slammed him against the wall again and warned him not to do that again. It took Teal'c and two marines to pull Colonel Carter off the colonel. He came to my office and wanted her Court Martialed for attacking him and I asked him why. He said it was over a dessert and I asked him which one; he told me. I asked him if anyone had warned him not to take it. He said they had and I told him he should have listened. He hasn't touched the blue jello ever since and he also keep's away from Colonel Carter."
"I see. Colonel Carter, you had better control your temper."
"Don't worry about that, sir. After that, everyone learned not to mess with a pregnant Colonel and walked on egg shells around her until after Grace was born."
"I see; well we better get back to out meeting. Thanks for giving us the good news."
"You're welcome. Now we have a long distance call to make."
"Ok and good luck to you both" then the line went dead.
"Do you want to make the call or shall I."
"You can Jack. I had better go to my lab and see what has been going on, since I wasn't at work yesterday."
"Ok, see you at lunch then."
"Yeah, you better come and see if I'm still in my lab by then."
"Ok."
They kissed before Sam got up from his lap and then he got up and they walked out of the office. Jack went to the control room to send a message to Jacob while Sam went to her lab to check on things there.
That evening they told JJ and Grace about the twins; they were happy with the news. While Jack was giving the kids a bath Sam was checking her e-mails and also writing e-mails to Mark, Harm and Mac.
When Harm and Mac arrived home after another busy day in the office, Harm cooked dinner while Mac checked their e-mails. She saw the one from Jack and Sam and she opened the message and read it.
"Harm!"
"Yeah Mac" he walked into the office while drying his hands on a towel.
"We received an e-mail from Jack and Sam."
"Yeah, what does it say?"
"Harm and Mac, Jack and I received some good news this morning from Janet; we are expecting twins."
"Twins?" Harm said.
"Yeah, Sam writes that everyone on the base knew about it in minutes and is happy for them. Jack called General Hammond to give him the good news, only to also share it with the President in the Oval office."
She also writes that General Hammond has been promoted to Lieutenant General and Jack is the new CO for the SGC. He wanted to be closer to home so he could spend more time with the kids. I better go and rescue Jack from the kids; he is giving them a bath, although they think he needs a wash and he ends up being soaked to the skin but he is loving every minute of it. Talk to you guys soon, Sam.
"Sounds like Jack is enjoying himself."
"Yes he is; how is dinner coming along?"
"It will be ready in twenty minutes."
"Ok, I'll finish checking these messages."
"Ok; do you want a glass of wine?"
"Yes thank you."
He walked out of the room while Mac sat, thinking about what Sam said about Jack giving the kids a bath. She smiled, thinking about Harm trying to give their kids a bath. When Harm returned with the glass of wine, he looked at Mac sitting there smiling.
