Chapter 29
One day, Jack and Sam followed them for about twenty minutes when they heard moaning noises. They walked up quietly behind a couple of trees and when they were close enough, they took a peak around the trees. They were surprised to see their two friends kissing and removing one another's clothes.
Jack and Sam quickly and quietly sneaked away until it was safe. They were embarrassed and burst out laughing. When they reached home, they had big grins on their faces and were holding hands. When Jacob saw them and the grins on their faces, he just had to ask,
"Ok, what are you two grinning about?"
"We now know why their hour walk takes two hours" Jack said.
"And that would be, what?" he asked as Jack and Sam walked past him.
"A roll in the hay, Dad" Sam said giggling.
"Check them out when they return and then you will understand" Jack said. Jacob just shook his head.
They went to check in on the kids who were down for their naps. Then they went to pick some fruit and vegetables for everyone their dinner.
Three months earlier, Jack made up a fridge/freezer out of the Tel'tac and Sam used the components from the cold bins to cool both boxes. When it was up and running, they were all happy because now the SGC could send frozen meat to them.
When Daniel and Janet returned, Jacob looked at them and noticed the swollen lips and wrinkled clothes. As they walked past him he noticed some grass sticking out of Janet's hair and Jacob chuckled and realized what Jack and Sam were talking about.
By the time Daniel and Janet returned the kids were awake and wanted to go for a swim. It was good timing, since SG3 had just returned from a training run. They all went for a swim and had lots of fun.
Several days later Janet went to talk to Sam who was just finishing the lunch dishes.
"Sam, can we talk?"
"Sure Janet what's up?" they sat down at the dining table.
"I want to give Daniel a child."
"That's good. I sense that there is a but; what is it?"
"You know that I was married once and what happened to me?"
"Yes."
Janet had left her abusive husband a year before she joined the SGC. He used to beat Janet and she had had three miscarriages within one year. After the last one, the doctors told her that she couldn't have any more children.
"One thing that no one knows about, not even Cassie, is that I can't have children because of what happened all those years ago" tears were falling down her cheeks.
"Oh Janet, I'm sorry."
"We talked about having kids since we don't know how long we are going to be here and I'm not getting any younger." Sam thought for a second and smiled.
"I'll be right back."
She got up and went to look for Jack. When she found him he was teaching JJ and Jake how to play baseball while the others watched. She called Jack over; when he walked over to her, he could tell something was wrong.
"Sam, what's wrong?"
"Jack, would you do me a big favour?"
"Sure, what is it?"
"Would you please take Janet up to the temple tonight and put her into the sarcophagus and when she is done, please take her to the room in the temple with the ball and activate it?
"What, why?"
"She and Daniel want to start a family. But, her ex-husband abused here and she had three miscarriages in one year because of the abuse. After the last miscarriage the doctors told her that she can't have any more children."
"Oh god!"
Jack ran his hand through his hair while looking at the woman he loved.
"Sure, I'll do it for our friends."
She gave him a hug and a kiss before running back into the house. Jack went back to the kids. Sam told Janet her idea and she thanked her.
After dinner when they kids were in bed asleep, Jack and Janet left in the ship for the temple. The others were a bit confused as to what was going on and this included Daniel.
"Sam, what's going on?" Daniel asked.
"Janet will tell you when they return. Don't worry, everything is going to be ok, trust me."
"Ok, if you say so."
When the ship landed and they got off the ship they walked into the temple where they had put the sarcophagus. Janet got in and lay down and closed her eyes as the top closed.
Jack sat down close by and waited, thinking about Sam and the kids; about what they were going to do when they returned to Earth, the inevitable court martial and everything else. He was brought out of his thoughts when the chamber opened up. He got up and walked over to it as Janet opened her eyes and blinked a few times.
"Are you ok?"
"Yeah, I am now."
She stood up and climbed out of it and Jack closed the top. They then walked into the room where the ball was; it started glowing as soon as Jack entered the room.
"Ok, you have to be standing in this circle for this thing to work but we both are going to be sore when we wake up."
"I know, Sam told me."
They stood in the circle and Jack touched the ball and there was a bright light and they both fell to the ground and then the light faded away.
The next day Jack and Janet woke up just after 1200 hours. They were both sore and stiff. After they stretched to try and get the kinks out, they headed back to home.
Since the arrival of the others, Jack and SG3 built a double shower house between the main house and barracks. Sam knew they would like to have a hot shower when they returned, so she had gotten the outside fire going to heat up the water in the tank on the roof of the wash house.
Jack was able to use the pipes from the ship to use as water pipes, leading from the river to the three tanks, one each for the outhouse, the main house and for the shower house. Sam was able to build a hand pump, to pump the water from the river into the tanks.
After lunch Daniel and Janet went for a walk. Sam and Jack knew what they would be talking about. The kids were taking their afternoon naps for a couple of hours. Jack and Sam worked on their continuing reports until the kid's woke up.
When they did wake up, Sam got them some fruit and juice. By that time Daniel and Janet had returned with grins on their faces. Jack and Sam knew everything was going to be ok for them.
They decided to tell everyone what was going on so they would all understand. Everyone was happy for them.
That night, after Jack and Sam had made love, they were snuggling in one another's arms.
"Jack?"
"Yes" she turned her head to look at him.
"What do you think about building them a room for Janet and Daniel with a double bed? It would be more comfortable for them."
"That sounds like a great idea Sam; I'll get SG3 to help me in the morning, after breakfast."
"Ok; I love you."
"I love you too Sam" they kissed and feel asleep in one another's arms.
Three days later the new house was built for Daniel and Janet. They used the air bed as a mattress for them as well as some of the silk bedding that was in the Tel'tac. The house was separate from everyone else for privacy.
They also added two more bedrooms to the main house; now the twins had their own rooms.
It was on the triplets first birthday that Sam noticed a change in the gas cloud.
"Jack, look! We can contact the SGC; notice the change in the gas cloud?"
"Yeah, I noticed it also."
Jack went to get the others while Sam sorted out the two laptops. She transferred everything into one folder. Once she was done she met the others at the stargate. She hooked everything up to the Malp and Jack started dialling Earth. Once the gate locked, Jack sent the SG1 GDO code.
"Stargate command, this is Major Carter, copy over."
When they got a reply Sam typed away until they all heard
"This is Stargate command, we copy Major Carter" and they all smiled.
"Good to here your voice sir; I'm sending the data burst now."
She clicked enter and she watched as the information downloaded. A few seconds later she gave the nod to let the others know that it was done and they now waited.
"We received your files Major Carter. How is everyone there?"
"Happily sir we are all well."
"That's good to hear. We are sending a tennis ball through now" then the tennis ball bounced down the steps.
SG3, Jacob and Teal'c put one of the thin sheets that were made to be put on the steps and then Janet and Daniel put the airbed on top of it.
"Ok sir, send the parcels through."
Boxes of food, medical supplies, seeds, towels, clothing, personal hygiene items and boxes of meat since they had a freezer started coming through the gate.
The SGC had also included baseball bats, batteries for their radios, CD players and MP3 players with rechargeable batteries. There were even some surprises coming through the gate.
There were bottles of beer on ice as well as Coke, Sprite, Diet Coke, marshmallows, buns, wieners, and more games, including cards and poker chips.
"Ok, we have the last parcel; is there anything else you need to send to us? You have about three minutes left sir."
Then one backpack came through, then another and a few seconds later someone came through the gate, landed, rolled on the airbed and then on to the grass. He stood up and everyone looked at him with some shock. Then two more bags came through and another person came through. In all, seven people came through the gate and then about twenty seconds later the gate shut done.
"Sir, this is a surprise" jack said
"Well I know it been a long time since I've had some leave and my blood pressure hasn't really helped during the last three months" General Hammond said smiling.
"Welcome sir; you know this mad bunch except for these. Come here kids" they walked over to their father.
"JJ, Jake, you remember me telling you stories about grand dad George" they nodded yes.
"This is your granddad George; he came all the way from Earth."
Hammond was surprised at what Jack said to the children, as were the other new arrivals. Hammond bent down to their level,
"Hello JJ, Jake. It is nice to meet you at last" they walked up to him and they both hugged him and he returned the hugs.
"General Ryan, Mr President, welcome. I see you brought SG2 with you."
"Yes, we have."
"I thought you might send some more personnel, so we built some more rooms. You folks are just in time for the kids first birthday."
"What, these two?"
"Nope, these three."
They looked over to where Jacob and Teal'c were standing with the triplets standing behind them.
"George, I would like for you to meet George Alan, Harry James and Grace Catherine O'Neill."
Hammond was stunned that they had named one of their sons after him. SG2 congratulated Jack and Sam on the five kids. By the time everything was organized, Sam passed Jack the Ancient device. He then turned it on and everything shrank. They all picked up something to carry.
Grace was on Jack's shoulder while the four boys were on SG3's shoulders, having fun up there. They headed toward home.
"Colonel, what is that?" Hammond asked.
"Our home sir. It is made out of what's left of a crashed Tel'tac."
"But, how… and where is the rest of it?"
"I'll give you the grand tour around tomorrow."
They went inside the main house and Jack restored everything back to normal size then the new arrivals were shown to their rooms. Once their bags were put away Jack and Sam showed their new guests around the compound. Will coffee was being made; everything that had arrived was put away. They sat around the table talking for a couple of hours before they all went out side to start a fire and cook the wieners over the fire.
