"Daddy, is today the day?"
"Yep."
"Are we having a party?"
"Yep."
"Yay, my little brother gets a name today."
"Is Uncle Teal'c coming?"
"Yep."
"Aunt Sam and Uncle Jack?"
"Yep."
"Is Aunt Carolyn and Uncle Cam too?"
"Yep."
"Oh boy. I gotta tell mommy."
"I think she knows, sport."
"Well, I can tell my little brother."
"Yes you can. Go up and tell him then."
"Hey mommy."
"Hey, hun. What you up to?"
"I wanna tell my little brother he's going to have a party."
"He won't understand you hon."
"Yes he will mommy. He's my brother.
"And that means?"
"We always know what were saying; he smiles."
"Ok, then go down and help your father with the tree."
"Ok, bye little brother. Kiss.
"Yes, you get a name today my precious. Yes you do."
"Hey, where's the little munchkin?"
"Hey Uncle Jack, Aunt Sam."
"Hey, I was just talking about you, to your father."
"Was it good, Uncle Jack?"
"Yep."
"Aunt Sam, was Uncle Jack making funny names for me again?"
"Yes, Asher, he was."
"Ok, I have to make one up for him too."
"Wrinkled comes to mind."
"Back at you Danny boy."
"Ok, we are going to name the baby, not you."
"Ah Sam. You don't let me have any fun."
"Your point Jack?"
"Yes maam. Ok, let's go do some tree trimming. They need help."
"Yeah. Come on Uncle Jack."
"Remind me Sam to get Jack, arts and crafts for Christmas."
"You have no ideal Daniel."
"Hey, where's Vala and the guest of honor?"
"Upstairs, go ahead up. She's probably expecting you."
"Hey Vala, hey there God child. Today's your day, huh, yes it is. Yes it is. What?"
"Why Sam, you look positively radiant. Give."
"I don't know what you mean Vala."
"Samantha Carter –O'Neill. Do I have to resort to cookies and milk?"
"You know my weaknesses, huh?
"It's my job to blackmail my friends for information."
"Ok, but you have to let me tell Jack in my own way."
"Jack, smack. I know something's up Sam my dear. You're pregnant."
"How do you do that?"
"I'm a mother. Another mother knows."
"Oh, well, yes. I'm so excited Vala. Carolyn confirmed it."
"Are Carolyn and I, the only ones to know?"
"Yep."
"Oh Sam, I'm so happy for you and Jack. Oh, this is wonderful."
"Hey, if we start crying, the baby is going to, too."
"Well you know I'll keep quiet. How far along?"
"Almost two months. Jack doesn't have a clue."
"Men never do darling. They never do."
"Oh, we have to have a baby shower when everyone finds out."
"I'm……….I'm a little scared Vala. Can you help me when the time comes?"
"Yep, always. Come on; they'll think we are talking about them."
"We are Vala."
"Well they don't have to know that, do they little one, yes, come on, down stairs."
"No Uncle Jack. The bunny goes there and the funny looking one goes there."
"You know, you sure are bossy for a little guy. Typical Jackson."
"Daddy said the same thing about you Uncle Jack."
"Asher, I didn't say………..that ……….exactly. I think we need some cookies and milk."
"Wuss."
"Daddy is not a, ah……..what you said. Is he Uncle Teal'c?"
"Indeed. Daniel Jackson is of noble character, as are you Asher and you Gen O'Neill."
"Sucking up to the kid, huh?"
"Indeed."
"Hey, here comes Uncle General and Cam. Where's Aunt Carolyn?"
"Hey munchkin."
"Too late Cam, been there, done that."
"What's Jack talking about?"
"He has made previous reference to Asher's size. Asher did not take it well."
"Jack, am I going to pull rank on you again?"
"It's ok Uncle General. Uncle Jack is helping me with the tree………..he said he was being punished for helping me. He's so funny."
"You have no idea kid. You have no idea. Anyway, I brought pie and Cam brought his famous Macaroons."
"I sure did buddy. Aunt Carolyn will be here later. Plus, I want to decorate the tree with ya, little man."
"We don't need help Cammy boy. Asher and I are doing quite well together."
"We need help Uncle Cam. Uncle Jack is too greedy."
"I am not. It just needs a little more tinsel over there………..uh,……….see."
"Oh, boy. Let me get in there kid. I think the tree is tilting."
"Yeah; Uncle Cam is going to help. See Uncle Jack; I told you the bunny goes over there."
"Indeed."
"He's right son. General's know."
"Everybody's a critic."
"Everybody, but you, right Jack?"
"You know, I'm still a General Danny boy. I still have some decorative powers."
"Hey everyone, the guest of honor is here. There's my little guy."
"Jack's been decorating the tree again, huh."
"Aw come on Sam. You're an O'Neill now. You're suppose to side with me."
"You put too much tinsel on the side again, huh?"
"WE TOLD HIM."
"Well everyone, lunch is ready and we can start naming our little one."
"Oh Daniel, this is going to be wonderful. Asher, after you finish eating, we can start."
"Ok mommy. But who's going to watch, Uncle Jack?"
"No."
"No, oh definitely, no."
"But what's wrong with Gandalf. He was the best one in Lord of the Rings."
"No Jack. No Gandalf."
"Party poops. I bet the baby would like Gandalf. Gandalf Jackson. It suits him."
"Jack, that's not funny. Tell him Sam. That is not funny."
"Don't worry Daniel. He'll behave."
"Indeed."
"It's ok Uncle Jack. Mommy and daddy didn't like Harry Potter either."
"Michael?"
"NOOOOOOOOOO."
"Don't even go there. Hey, how about, no, ok, how about, no, no. that won't work either."
"CAM?"
"Carolyn would have liked it."
"Teal'c? Don't you have any Jaffa names?"
"I have considered them Vala. But I think Asher should have the honor of naming his sibling."
"I like that. Ok, Asher. What do you think fits your brother?"
"Oh, mommy can I?"
"Yep."
"Ok, you swear no one will laugh?"
"No son, go ahead. Your mother and I trust you."
"Ok, here goes. Sam Jr."
"SAM, JR?"
"Oh Asher. That……..sounds wonderful honey."
"Oh, Asher I'm honored, but why me?"
"So my baby brother can play with your kid."
"Huh?"
"You're going to have a baby, aren't you Aunt Sam?"
"WHAT?"
"Someday kid. You're way out there. Aunt Sam's not pregnant. Well not yet."
"Uncle Jack? I mean Aunt Sam is having a baby soon."
"Asher, what makes you think that?"
"Aunt Sam, don't you know?"
"Know what, sweetheart."
"Your glowing just like mommy when she had my baby brother."
"Indeed."
"Why Col Carter, you are."
"He's right Sammie. The kid is right. You are glowing. Wait till I tell Carolyn."
"She always looks like that. You guys have to get out more."
"Jack?"
"Huh?"
"We didn't."
"Didn't what?"
"Get out more. We've been inside for a long time."
"Ok, I'm confused."
"Uncle Jack. Aunt Sam means you been trying to have a baby and now you are."
"But……..how?...When?...
"Uncle Jack, you ok? You look like the tree. Green and red and………"
"Saaammmmmmm?
"Yes Jack. We are going to have a baby, in 7 months."
"Sam Jr. I'm sure glad we got that out of the way. Daddy, I think Uncle Jack needs some cookies and milk."
