Chapter 29
A couple of hours later, Jack went to check on Sam. When he walked in, he smiled when he saw her awake. He closed the door then walked over and sat on the bed, leaning over and giving her a kiss.
"Enjoy your nap?"
"Yes, what have you been doing in the last couple of hours?"
"Escaping the family, they keep bugging me about the kids"
"Ah, so when do you want to share the news?"
"When you're up to it"
"How about after lunch?"
"Sure. Want me to get you something?"
"Sounds good to me."
"Ok, I'll be right back." He kissed her, and then he stood, walked to the door, opened it, and walked out, closing it behind him. Sam turned and looked at the sleeping twins and smiled at them.
"I wonder who you are going to take after." She let out her breath and then closed her eyes and waited for Jack to return.
When he did, he got Airman to open the door for him and to close it once Jack was in the room. Sam opened her eyes and smiled when Jack walked into the room, he put the tray down on the table and wheeled it over to the bed, then he sat down facing Sam.
"I spoke to the others, and told them to come visit in an hour."
"Why then, Jack?"
"By that time, the kids should be awake and fed."
"Oh, good plan."
"Here you go, chicken salad with mayo, a bowl of fruit, blue Jell-O, orange juice and a bottle of water."
"Thank you."
"You're welcome." They talked while enjoying their lunch.
When they finished, twenty minutes later, Grace woke up. Jack walked over and picked her up while talking to her. He walked over and placed her in Sam's arms after she undid her top and moved it to one side. Jack watched as Grace had her feeding.
They talked until Grace had her fill and was burped. Sam held on to her as she slowly fell asleep in her mother's arms. By that time, JJ was awake so Sam passed Grace to Jack so he could put her in her bassinet. He lifted JJ and spoke to him, like he did with Grace, before passing him to Sam.
"I'll take this tray back. Do you need anything?"
"No, I'm fine thanks, Jack."
He gave her a kiss then picked up the tray then walked to the door and kicked the door twice. The door opened a couple of seconds later, and then Jack walked out.
"Thank you, Airman."
When he returned, he walked in to see that Sam wasn't in the room. He turned to the airman.
"Colonel Carter went to have a shower, Sir."
"Oh… ok thanks." He walked in and sat on the bed looking at the twins.
A few minutes later, Sam returned and got back into bed.
"You look tired still."
"I'm fine."
"Sam."
"I am, Jack, it's normal after giving birth."
"Ok, if you say so."
"Come here." She patted the bed.
He walked over and sat on the edge of the bed looking at her.
"What are you thinking about?"
"How happy I am."
"Are you happy Sam?"
"Yes, I'm happy, because, for one thing, I'm married to the sexiest general in the Air Force." Jack laughed.
"And I have just given birth to two wonderful children that we both remember."
"That's true; anything else?"
"Yes, I'm looking forward to sharing the wonderful news about our children with everyone else."
"Same here. You know, these two are going to be spoiled rotten while they are on base."
"I hope not Jack; you might have to set some rules for when the kids get older."
"Good point, but we know that they will obey the rules if the kids are anything like me."
Sam laughed then quickly covered her mouth for a minute. Then she removed her hand and turned to see the babies were still sleeping. Then she turned to look at Jack again.
"Well if they are anything like you, then we will have a problem." Jack smiled at her.
"Well then, what shall we do?"
"Day care for them."
"Sam, the NID."
"I guess you're right. We'll think of something."
"Yeah. So, up to some visitors?"
"Sure."
"Ok, I'll go and round them up." He leaned forward and gave Sam a kiss then he stood up and walk to the door smiling.
He opens it and walked out closing the door behind him. Jack found their family and told them to meet him outside Sam's room, and then he went to find the others. When he found them all, he walked back to Sam's room where Mark, Jacob, Jamie and Charlie were.
"Are you guys ready?"
"Come on, Dad!"
"Ok, ok." He walked to the door and opened it; he poked his head in and smiled. Then he walked in with the family behind him.
"How are you feeling, Sam?"
"I'm good, Mom."
Jack walked over and picked up Grace first. After he showed her to the family, he put her in Jamie's arms. Then he picked up JJ and put him in Jacob's arms.
"Who is who, Jack?" Mark asked.
"Mom is holding Grace Hannah O'Neill," Sam said.
"She's beautiful," Jamie said smiling.
"Dad, you're holding Jonathan Jack O'Neill, Junior, 'JJ' for short," Jack said smiling, as he sat down on the bed with his arm around Sam's shoulder.
"Jack, why 'JJ'? Why not 'Jake'?"
"Because we already have two sons named Jacob," Sam said.
"Oh." They smiled down at them, and then they passed the babies to Mark and Charlie to hold.
Charlie had a camera with him so there were heaps of photos taken of the babies. They all talked for half an hour before they left so Sam could get some rest before the next feeding time. Jack was the last to leave; he gave Sam a kiss.
"I'll tell the others that they can visit later this afternoon."
"Sounds good to me."
"Now, how about you get some rest?"
"Ok." He gave her a kiss before leaving.
Jack headed into town to do some shopping, and then went home where he spent the next four hours working on the nursery. Then he returned to the base. When he arrived, he went to see Sam and their kids. As he walked into the room, Sam was putting JJ into his bassinet.
"Hey. I hope you haven't had any dinner."
"No, not yet why?" He lifted the bags in his hands.
"What have you got there?" She got back into bed and watched Jack walk over and sit on the bed, putting the bags between them. When opened it them, Sam got a whiff of mouth-watering aromas.
"Mexican!"
"Yep."
"Thank you!"
"You're welcome, so enjoy." They both enjoyed their Mexican dinners while they talked about what they were going to do when they get home.
After dinner, they talked for another half an hour before Jack left Sam to get some sleep. He went to find where the others were, only to discover that Jamie and Jacob had been recalled by the Tok'ra Council. Cassie and Charlie had left with Mark since Janet was in surgery because a team returned from off world with wounded. Jack decided to go to his office to read reports and memos for the next few hours before going to his quarters to get some sleep.
The next morning when he walked into the private room where Sam and the twins were, Sam was sitting up in bed eating her breakfast. He walked over to where the twins. They were both awake looking at him. He smiled at them both and gently stroked their cheeks, and then he turned and walked over to the bed and gave Sam a morning kiss.
"Morning, Sweetheart."
"Morning, have you had breakfast yet?"
"No, I came to see you and our kids. How were they during the night?"
"Good. They woke up twice for feeding and changing."
"How about I go and get some breakfast. Then when I return, I'll help you bathe the twins."
"We'll be waiting."
"Sweet." Sam smiled.
"I'll be back in about twenty minutes."
"I'll be here."
He gave her a kiss before leaving her to finish her breakfast.
Jack walked to the mess hall where some of the personnel saw him and congratulated him on the birth of the twins. He was sitting at one of the tables eating his breakfast when a team walked into the mess hall to get their breakfast. Jack heard,
"Hey, have any of you seen Colonel Carter in the last two days?"
"Why do you want to know?"
"Well she's always in the control room or her lab."
"She is on maternity leave."
"I know that, but why is she still on the base?"
"How many times do I have to tell you, SG1 and General O'Neill are trapped on another planet?"
"Are they dead?"
"We don't know."
"Well, if they are dead, who is going to help take care of Colonel Carter and her baby?"
"We all are. We're all going to be there for them and don't you get any funny ideas Major, just remember, she out ranks you."
"So what? Who would want to be married to an old man like General O'Neill, anyway?"
"That is enough, Major, am I clear? And have some damn respect for both Colonel Carter and General O'Neill, am I clear?" Colonel Dixon asked.
"Yes, Sir"
"Good. Now shut up and eat up."
Jack watched them. He hadn't seen the major before, but he did remember reading his file: he was single and he had done three overseas tours and he had a clean record. When Jack finished his breakfast, he stood and walked over to the team.
