Chapter 52

"How far apart?"

"A minute and half" she said, as another one hit.

"Janet, I think I'm crowning!"

"Let's have a look."

She lifted the sheet to check and then put it down again and walked to the door and called out to one of the nurses. Then she returned and took her jacket off.

"Your right Sam, you are crowning already."

The nurse came in and Janet put the gown and gloves on while the nurse got everything set up.

"Ok Sam, you know the drill; push when you are ready."

Sam did what she was told, holding onto Jack's hand. A minute later they heard the baby cry.

"It's a boy" Jack went to look at his son and smiled.

"He has your hair Sam."

Jack cut the cord and Janet wrapped him up and passed him to Jack. He walked back to the side of the bed and passed him to Sam and by then his eyes were open.

"He has your eyes."

"Yes he has."

"What is this one's name?" Janet asked.

"Daniel Lou O'Neill" Janet smiled at Daniel's name.

"I'm sure that Daniel will like that."

"Janet" Sam said, as she started pushing again.

Jack picked up his son and passed him to the nurse and then he held on to her hand. A couple of minutes later they heard a baby cry.

"It's a boy."

Jack cut the cord and then wrapped him up and passed him to Jack who walked over and passed him to Sam. When he opened his eyes, they saw that they were blue but he had a fuzz of brown hair.

"Have you got a name for this little one?"

"Yes, John Brian O'Neill" Sam said.

"Ok, we will go and get your son's cleaned up now. Press the buzzer if you need anything."

"Thanks Janet." Janet and the nurse took the boys out of the room so they could clean them up and Jack gave Sam a kiss.

"Beautiful Sam; all of our kids are beautiful."

"I know."

They kissed again and then, suddenly, Sam had another contraction. Jack pressed the buzzer.

"Jack, something doesn't feel right." He went to the foot of the bed and lifted the sheet to have a look. His eyes widened and then he moved the sheet out of the way.

"Ok, Sam you have to push."

She did as she was told and then breathed and then she did it again. When she had time, she pushed the buzzer again and a nurse came in.

"Get Dr Fraser in here now! She was cleaning and weighing our sons."

The nurse ran out of the room to find Janet and Sam pushed again. A few seconds later Sam heard the baby cry.

"It's a boy Sam" Jack said.

Janet ran into the room and she was stunned when she heard the baby,

"Well, I will be damned."

Janet took over to make sure he was ok. Once the cord was cut and the baby was wrapped up, Jack picked him up and then passed him to Sam and he opened his eyes.

"He has your eyes Jack."

"I know, he sure is a surprise."

"Yeah, I know what you mean. What should we name him?"

"How about David Jonathan O'Neill?"

"I like that."

"Great."

"Jack, would you hold him?"

She passed him their son and then she started pushing again. A minute later the placenta came out and Sam then could relax while Janet cleaned her.

At the same time a nurse walked in with a trolley with a towel over basin. She and Janet cleaned up the bloody mess while Jack and Sam were looking at their surprise son.

They knew that she was carrying twins but Sam had been having a few back problems during the past four months. Now they knew why. Two-nurses came into the room, each with a bundle in their arms and they were both crying.

"Someone is hungry" Jack said.

Janet had finished cleaning Sam and she asked Jack to tilt the head of the bed so she could start breast-feeding. Sam passed David to a nurse so she could get him cleaned while Jack undid the back of her gown and she pushed it down and one of the nurses passed Daniel to her.

She got him to her nipple and he started nursing. The other nurse passed John to Jack, who put him in Sam's arms and helped guide him to her other nipple and he started nursing happily.

Janet and the nurses smiled at the sight before them. A minute later the third nurse returned with David. When Daniel had finished, Jack picked him up and started burping him while the nurse passed David to Janet who put him in Daniel's place and Janet helped him to Sam's nipple and he started nursing.

"David sure was a surprise" Janet said.

"We know. No one is going to win the betting pool on this" Sam said.

"True"

"Janet, do you want to go and find that damned doctor who was supposed to be on call and the nurse?"

"I'll go and find them. I am not happy about what is happening while I'm on leave."

"I know what you mean Janet" Sam said, knowing that they were talking about the Stargate program.

Janet left to go and find out who was on call. She saw Dr Greg Fisher and the nurse walking towards her and they were both laughing.

"Dr Fisher, where the hell were you? And you are on report." she pointed at the nurse.

"Dr Fraser, right?" Fisher asked.

"That's right."

"Why is she on report? What did Lt. Hill do?"

"Disobeying an order."

"What was the order Dr Fraiser?"

"To get whoever was on call ASAP. Major Carter went into early labour."

"I see. Well, I might as well go and check on her then."

"Don't bother; she has already given birth" the doctor and nurse were stunned by this information.

"What; already?"

"Yes; Major Carter has a history of two quick, easy births and now this is the third one. Her husband had to deliver one of their sons because you weren't there to do your job. I delivered the first two. Now, if you will excuse me, I'm going back to check on my patient" Janet turned on her heel and started walking away.

"You can't do that. I out rank you." Dr Fisher was a Lieutenant Colonel.

Janet stopped and turned around to look at him.

"Oh yes I can and I will." with that she turned around again and walked away.

"Greg, aren't you going to stop her."

"Don't worry, dear. Remember that I out rank her so there is nothing she can do. After all, she is on leave."

"She can and she will." a voice behind them stated. They turned around to see Colonel Dr Warner standing there.

"Dr Warner" they were shocked.

"She has every right. You were on call; this isn't the first time that this has happened while you were on call. I have received complaints about the both of you and I'm going to make sure I get her report on this matter. Dr Fraiser is one hell of a doctor, whether she is on duty or not. She has always been on call twenty-four/seven and so should you. Now, if you will excuse me, I'm going to visit Major Carter and her family" with that he walked away from them.

Janet went to the waiting room to find Daniel and the girls asleep; he woke and got up and gave her a hug.

"Hey, is everything ok?"

"Yes, Sam has already given birth."

"Already, what did she have?"

"You will have to wait until the others get here and then they will tell you all at the same time."

"Ok."

They hugged once again and then they heard a cough. They turned to see Teal'c and Jacob standing there.

"Sorry for interrupting; how is Sam?"

"Good; I'll go and let her know that you have arrived. Oh, by the way, no one won the bet" she said walking away with a grin on her face, leaving the men confused.

When Janet arrived at Sam's room she could here talking. She walked in to find that Dr Warner was there.

"Dr Warner, I didn't know that you were here."

"Yes, I came looking for you and also to see Major Carter and the babies. I heard what you said to Dr Fisher and Lt. Hill. Colonel O'Neill and Major Carter have already told me what happened."

"Oh, ok; Sam are you up to any visitors? Jacob and Teal'c are here." she noticed the three portable cribs next to the bed.

"Sure; since everyone from the SGC knows about this by now"

"Yeah, I'll go and let them know."

"I better get back to work my self" and Janet and Dr Warner left the room.

Janet went to let the others know when she saw the O'Neill children and Cassie were there, waiting. She smiled at them.

"Mom, can we see them?" Cassie asked.

"Yes, they have a surprise for you; come on let's go" the kids ran past Janet.

"How will they know which room she is in?" Jacob asked.

"They can sense their presence just as you can with Teal'c."

"Ah, smart kids." they followed Janet to Sam's room.

The kids walked quickly and then stopped outside of one room; they could sense a presence and they also could hear Jack and Sam's voices and they started to walk into the room. Jack and Sam could also feel a presence and looked at the door as it opened. They grinned when their kids walked in.

"Mom, can we look at the baby?" JJ asked.

"Sure, Jack can you help put the kids on the bed?" Jack picked them up onto the bed so they could look down into the cribs and see their baby brothers.

"Three boys, cool." Jake said, making Sam giggle.

"What are their names Mommy?" Grace asked.

"This is Daniel, John and David." Jack said pointing at each of the boys.

Janet and the others walked in and Jacob was shocked when he saw the triplets.

"Triplets? Now that is a surprise."

"You and me both Dad." Sam said.

"This is Daniel, John and David, he was the surprise" Jack said, pointing out each of the boys.

"No wonder Janet said that no one won the bet." Daniel said.

They talked and held the babies while they were awake. Cassie took heaps of photos of the new additions to the O'Neill family. After half an hour they all left and only Jack stayed behind for a while.

"I better call the restaurant and cancel our reservations for tonight."

"Did you have plans?"

"Yes."

"I'm sure that I will make it up to you later."

"I know; I'll be right back."

He gave her a kiss before getting off the bed and walking out of the room. He called General Hammond to let him know about the babies but Jacob had already told him the good news. Then he called 'The Famous' restaurant to cancel. He explained to them about Sam going into early labour.

They congratulated he and Sam. They understood and told Jack there was take out available if he wanted since Sam was in hospital. He decided to order take out for their Valentine Dinner. He placed his order and gave them a time to pick the order. He hung up and headed back to Sam's room.

Sam was almost asleep when he returned; he gave her a kiss and walked over to check on his sons once more before leaving a note for Sam and then he left.

Later that evening Jacob looked after the kids while Jack went to pick up the take out order and headed to the hospital. When he arrived at Sam's room she was breast-feeding David. He noticed that there were flowers everywhere, as well as helium balloons saying 'It's A Boy,' everywhere. He was smiling at the sight before him.

"Hey I brought us dinner."

She looked up and smiled when Jack stepped in, lifting the bags in his hands.

"Jack, you shouldn't have."

"When I called the restaurant to cancel the reservations I told them that you went into early labour. They understood and told me that if I still wanted to plan a romantic evening that they had take away, so I got take away for us with two chocolate milks as well." He showed her the two bags.

"Thanks because I'm starving." Jack chuckled.
