Chapter 36Trade

Hammond, Janet, Jack, Rebecca and Daniel sat down on Monday and discussed her place in SG-1. They concluded that gate travel wouldn't hurt the baby since Rebecca was almost three months pregnant and had been traveling constantly during that whole time. Janet cleared Rebecca for travel. The newlyweds made it clear that they didn't want anyone else to know until it was necessary.

At 1000, SG-1 left through the gate to go to another planet and Rebecca was with them. Janet had given her something to help with the nausea since they were sleeping on the planet. "You feeling alright?" Daniel asked when they returned to the camp after exploring a temple.

"I'm just a little tired." Rebecca answered, wrapping an arm around Daniel's waist and keeping her other hand on her P90. Rebecca took first watch that night and Jack took second. When her watch was over she climbed into the tent that she shared with her husband and father. "Your turn Daddy."

"Night angel." Jack said, kissing his daughter softly and then climbing out of the tent.

"Come here." Daniel said in a tired voice. Rebecca went over and snuggled with her husband. She stirred when Sam woke Daniel up for his watch but thankfully didn't wake up.

Daniel woke up in the morning to the sound of Rebecca throwing up and Jack talking softly to her. He emerged from the tent to find Teal'c and Sam looking in their direction with worried faces. "The stuff Janet gave her didn't help." Jack said in a tired voice. He watched Rebecca plop down next to Daniel and rest her head on his shoulder.

"Feel better?" Daniel asked, rubbing her arms.

"Not really." Rebecca muttered, taking a sip of his coffee. She regretted that instantly and went back over to where she threw up before. Daniel trudging after her.

"Is she alright?" Sam asked Jack.

"She's fine." Jack said carefully. Daniel and Rebecca had decided not to tell the group until she was in her second trimester. The newlyweds joined the rest of the group and after a second trip to the temple, returned to the SGC.

Their next off world trip wasn't that quiet, however. They were captured by some not so friendly natives' moments after stepping onto the planet. "Who are you?" The leader asked when they were brought in front of some sort of council.

"We are travelers from a planet called earth." Daniel answered. "We are merely here to see if there is anything that we can trade between our peoples. I am Doctor Daniel Jackson and this is Colonel Jack O'Neill, Captain Rebecca Jackson, Major Samantha Carter and Teal'c."

The leader looked over the group and noticed how Jack and Daniel were both standing protectively close to Rebecca. "You two care about that one woman."

"Yes." Both men said at the same time.

"Come here child and bring the other woman with you." The leader said, motioning to Rebecca. Rebecca looked at Sam and then the two went over to the leader. "Do you consider you're women beautiful?"

"Very beautiful." Daniel said his eyes on Rebecca.

The leader lifted up Rebecca and Sam's left hands. "You have two rings on one finger and she doesn't, what does this mean?"

"That I belong to someone." Rebecca replied.

"Him?" The leader asked, nodding to Daniel.

"Yes." Rebecca answered.

"But you also belong to the older man?" The leader questioned.

"He's my father." Rebecca replied.

The leader made a motion to dismiss Sam but kept a firm grip on Rebecca's arm to keep her from rejoining the group. "Becca." Jack said as he and Daniel both moved forward.

"You are very beautiful." The leader said, cupping Rebecca's cheek.

"Thank you." Rebecca said shakily.

"You will do." The leader said, nodding to the guards who came forward to grab Rebecca.

"What?" Rebecca asked. She looked at Daniel and Jack, who were being restrained by some guards.

"Let her go!" Jack barked.

"You want to trade. Take whatever you want; the woman has paid your price." The leader said, watching the guards drag Rebecca out.

"You can't do this." Daniel said coming forward.

"I won't hurt her." The leader replied calmly.

"She is not property." Sam said, coming up behind Daniel and Jack. Teal'c followed suit and showed his support.

They looked up when one of the guards came back in. "The woman is hurt my lord."

"You have to let me go to her." Daniel cried desperately, glancing at Jack.

"What happened?" Jack questioned.

"She tripped when we were bringing her down the stairs. She's complaining of stomach pains." The guard replied.

"My wife is with child." Daniel cried out. He ignored the shocked looks that Sam and Teal'c gave him.

"Take the man to be with his wife." The leader said. Daniel took off behind the guard at a run.

He was taken to a beautiful bedroom where the guards had lay Rebecca on an enormous bed. "Becca …" Daniel said. "Are you alright?"

Rebecca nodded. "I'm fine; I took most of the fall with my arms and knees."

"There's nothing wrong with the baby?" Daniel asked softly.

"No. I figured that he wouldn't want me if I was injured." She glanced up when the leader and the rest of SG-1 came in. "God, Daniel it hurts." She moaned.

Daniel looked down at her and nodded. "I know baby." He glanced up, his eyes meeting Jack's. "We need to get her back to our world and have our doctor look at her."

"You do realize that if you don't leave her here then you may not trade with my people?" The leader asked.

"I think we'll take that risk." Jack said. "Help her up Daniel." Daniel immediately picked up his wife and followed the team back to the gate. "You alright?" Jack asked with concern when they reached the Stargate.

"I'm fine." Rebecca replied as Daniel put her on her feet.

"The baby?" Jack asked.

"Is fine. I didn't land on my stomach; I just made them think that I did." Rebecca answered while Sam dialed out.

"So when were you going to tell the rest of us?" Sam asked, looking over at the rest of the team.

"We were going to wait until we got into the 2nd trimester." Rebecca answered.

"Are you sure you're alright?" Daniel asked as they stepped up to the wormhole.

"I'm fine love." Rebecca replied, leaning over to kiss him right before they went through.

"Welcome back SG-1." Hammond said when they stepped through.

"Thanks." Jack replied as they all started down the ramp. Suddenly, Rebecca stumbled and fell to her knees clutching her stomach.

"Daniel." She gasped.

"Becca." Daniel yelled. "Get Doctor Frasier."

"Rebecca, look at me baby." Jack said as he and Daniel fell to their knees next to her.

"Captain Jackson." Janet said, coming in with her team. "What happened?" She asked as Daniel and Jack helped to lift Rebecca onto a stretcher.

"She fell down some stairs to get away from the natives. I guess it must have done more damage than what she thought." Jack said, putting a hand on his son-in-law's shoulder.

"Go on." Hammond said to the two men who almost broke their necks going after Frasier and the medic team.

"How is she?" Daniel asked when Janet finally came over to them.

"Both she and the baby are fine. The fall did more damage then what she thought and the gate travel didn't help. I'm putting her on restrictive duty for the time being; you are only allowed to go on noncombative missions." Janet said with a smile.

"Thanks Doc." Jack said looking relieved.

"When can we take her home?" Daniel asked.

"I'm releasing her for the briefing and then immediately afterwards I want her taken home so she can rest." Janet replied before walking off.

"How are you feeling, Captain?" General Hammond asked when the trio walked into the briefing room.

"Fine." Rebecca answered, sitting in the chair that Daniel held for her. Rebecca was distracted all through out the briefing and was relieved when she could take a shower and go home.

"You alright?" Jack asked her when Daniel retreated into Jack's study to work on some translations.

"I'm scared Daddy." Rebecca replied.

"It's going to be fine." Jack answered.

"What if the baby isn't Daniel's? There's a possibility that it might be Paul's …"

"You still haven't told Daniel have you?"

"I haven't had the heart to …"

Jack nodded. "We'll cross that bridge when we come to it."
