A/N I forgot to mention for this reality everything happened fast for Jack and Sam as for falling in love. I think the whole Tok'ra thing with Sam and Jacob happened in the "first season " . That way Sam and Martouf had a relationship but it didn't last. To fit my timeline Jack and Sam got married end of "first season" and ended up pregnant by the end of "season three" . This story is based in Season four Episode 3 I decided to switch Janet and Sam's character a little since I made Sam pregnant. I feel like Sam has some medical knowledge.
There are direct quotes from Season 4 Episode 3 Upgrades Some I have just switched Sam and Janet.
Jack liked waking up first. He loved how peaceful Sam looked when she slept. He wanted to burn the pregnancy book that lay so innocently on the night stand. The book had already made her cry several times. She was already seventeen weeks already and was worried because she hadn't felt the baby even flutter, as the book called it. Even though the book also said she may not even feel the baby move until the twenty fifth week. He just wanted her to try enjoy being pregnant the best she could and not get upset every time her body didn't do something the books said it should have.
"You're staring again." Sam smiled sleepily.
"I wanted to do this." Jack began to kiss her belly. Sam ran her hand through his hair.
"Did you sleep well, baby? Good job letting mommy keep her dinner. She really liked what she ate and didn't want to lose." He kept kissing her belly.
"It's still early but I'm fairly confident dinner is staying with me. My bladder is screaming at me." Jack helped her sit up. Sam hurried to the bathroom. Jack would never tell Sam this but she already had a small pregnancy waddle and Jack thought it was the cutest. Sam came out of the bathroom more relaxed and walked over to Jack and began kissing him.
"As much as I love these new hormones of yours; we have to go to work." Jack smiled as she moaned but didn't stop kissing him.
"Come on Samantha we will be late for work and I won't be able to stop if you keep doing that!" He took her off his lap. He blew out a puff air as he stood up from the bed. Sam chuckled as she went to fix breakfast for them.
"You can be so mean sometimes, Carter!" He grumbled as he went to take a shower.
As they drove to the base Jack looked over at Sam.
"Are you going to that lunch thing for the moms on base Janet was telling you about?" Jack asked.
"I don't know." Sam shrugged.
"It might be fun meeting other expecting mothers. They might can help you with some of your questions that stupid book can't answer." Jack suggested.
Janet had told Sam about several of the women on base had set up a group for mothers at an old Church. Mothers come eat lunch let their kids play and just talk with other moms. Janet said that she went with a nurse from the hospital and had a good time even got some tips to help with a moody Cassie. They had first time moms and moms with multiple children.
"I'll think about it." Sam said.
"That's all I ask." Jack smiled.
Sam studied the arm band Jack was wearing.
"So your not feeling any effects?" Sam asked as she turned over his arm examing the top of the band.
"Nothing I think there duds. I'm getting ready to go box with Teal'c." Jack slipped his hand on her belly. Sam really didn't have a bump yet she just filled out some and Jack wanted to feel his child every chance he got.
"Ok be careful! Go easy on Teal'c." Sam smiled.
"He hopes I'll go easy on him." Jack puffed before he left Sam's lab. Sam smiled and shook her head.
Sam walked into the infirmary. She had lost the address to the church. She heard Jack's voice the minute she walked in.
"So ... No increase then?"
"Physiology is other wise normal." Anise the Tok'ra said to Jack.
"Well I feel good!" Jack tossed some trash into a container near Sam at the door.
"Three!" Jack threw up his arms.
"You seem to have developed a bit of a sweet tooth." Janet pointed out as Jack took a bite of a snack bar.
"Your metabolism is increasing to match the engry your body requires." Anise said.
"You were going to show me how to read this thing." Janet pulled the tablet Anise was holding towards her.
"I will. First it is time to increase the subjects in the experiment." Anise insisted.
"Who will that be?" Sam asked walking more into the infirmary.
"Daniel and myself." Janet answered.
"Really? I thought you were going monitor their process?" Sam asked.
"I am but Anise wanted to see how the armband may affected a female. I figured I might as well try it myself." Janet shrugged.
"Hello Major Carter! It is nice to meet you. Jacob and Martouf speak highly of you. Congratulations on your child." Freya, the host, said.
"Thank you! It is nice to meet you as well." Sam smiled.
"You ok?" Jack asked softly slipping an arm around Sam's waist.
"I'm fine. I lost the address to the church for that lunch thing." Sam explained.
"Oh I have that in my office! I'm glad you decided to go. You are going to have a great time. I'll go grab that address." Janet left the infirmary.
"If you need me to stay and monitor the armbands I will." Sam offered.
"No need! The affects take time. Go take time eat, mingle and make friends." Jack soothed.
"I'll be back in an hour." Sam rolled her eyes.
"I have fun! That's a order." Jack teased.
"Here's the address have fun!" Janet handed Sam a piece of paper.
Jack walked Sam to the hall and kissed her on the temple.
"These armbands are making me uneasy just be careful." Sam said softly.
"You can study it more after lunch I promise. I love you and I promise not to do anything stupid while your at lunch." Jack held up his hand like a boy boy scout.
"That's all I ask. I love you too." Sam smiled and then headed for the elevator.
When she got to the old church it was about fifteen minutes after twelve. The lunch was suppose to be from twelve to three for anyone that wanted to eat, talk and let their kids play. The room that Sam was led to had a few women sitting around large round tables but no one was eating and Sam couldn't smell food.
"Well I wasn't told it was cancelled! The kitchen is right there go see if they are just running late. I'll go back to the office and try to call Laney. Come back down to the office if you don't see anyone." The short secretary said and her heels clicked as she headed back to the office.
Sam walked into the kitchen area. There were three regtangle tables pushed together. Large metal pans that were supposed to hold hot food sat on the tables empty. Suddenly a child ran out of another part of the kitchen he was holding something in his hand. He slammed into Sam's legs and fell down. He began to scream.
"It's ok! Please don't choke!" Sam noticed that the child had food in his mouth. She picked up the little boy he threw himself back and almost out of Sam's arms. Sam was holding the boy awkwardly when a pregnant woman with long brown hair and blue eyes rushed into the room.
"Oh Ryder! I'm sorry he just doesn't like people picking him up!" The woman took the screaming boy.
"I just didn't want him to choke." Sam explained.
"Thank you so much! Hey Trisha did you give Ryder a chicken finger?" The woman called the last part out the door.
"I did but he got away from me I was hoping he ran to you." Trisha replied from outside.
"I got him!"
"My name is Laney Hasbrooke I'm guessing your here for the moms lunch. Which we are having some difficulties today. The mom that was suppose to cook today called yesterday that she wasn't feeling well and couldn't come today. Which is understandable usually me and some other moms bring in takeout but no one seems to be having a good day. My husband is bringing Chinese food soon. The sitter's college class is running late. This is not how things usually are but we have roll with it. I just feel bad because I'm sure you came to eat and we have no food yet." Laney explained as she walked back into the dining area grabbed a highchair from the corner, dragged it to a table and sat Ryder down in the highchair with ease.
"I'm Sam Carter O'Neill my friend Janet Frasier told me about this program since this is my first pregnancy. I completely understand things not turning out the way they are suppose to." Sam introduced.
"Oh I know Janet! Her and Cassie have been to a couple of our night outs! Congratulations on the baby how far along are you?" Laney asked as she took some cereal from a book bag and put it on Ryder's tray.
"I'm seventeen weeks!"
"Almost half way! How was you morning sickness? Laney asked as she reached in a bag and pulled out a piece of paper.
"Pretty rough I'm glad it seems to have past." Sam said.
"How far a long are you?" Sam asked.
"I'm twenty three weeks. With a baby girl this time!" Laney beamed.
"Congratulations!" Sam smiled.
"This is a questioner you can fill out it just helps us know you better. Do you have any questions?" Laney asked.
"Can I ask you a question about your first pregnancy?" Sam asked a little nervous.
"Of course!" Laney smiled.
"When did you first feel your baby move?" Sam asked.
"I think I was twenty one or twenty two weeks because I remember my husband being able to feel him kick at twenty six weeks. I felt this one move a lot earlier because I realized it wasn't gas. You've probably have felt the baby move and just didn't realize it yet. I wouldn't worry to much your. Did your ultra sound show everything good with babys growth?" Laney asked kindly.
"Yeah the doctor said baby was nice and big. My husband and I have been trying for this baby for a long time and I just want everything to go smoothly." Sam sighed. She didn't know why tears came to her eyes.
"Worrying is unfortunately part of pregnancy for a lot of people. Like I said you probably have felt the baby and thought it was gas. I was so gasy with Ryder. Sorry for the TMI." Laney chuckled as she patted Sam's hand.
More women were coming in the room and Laney stood up to greet them and explain what was going on with the food. A heavy set black woman came out of the kitchen with a little boy and girl. She smiled at Sam brightly.
"Hi I'm Trisha! You're new here?" Trisha asked
"Hi I'm Sam"
"Laney I put some chicken fingers and fries in the oven! I don't know what everyone is bringing but my kids are picky eaters and gives us something to eat before I have to go back to work" Trisha explained.
"That's why your my hero Trish!" Laney smiled.
"I thought I was your hero? I brought food and everything!" Came a familiar voice behind Sam.
Sam was surprised to see SG-12 leader Jeremy Hasbrooke carrying bags with take out boxes of food. What really shocked her was Cam and Devlin walked in carrying more food bags.
"You are my hero too!" Laney giggled as he kissed her.
"I called Cam for back up he lives near a Chinese place!" Jeremy explained.
"My daddy! My daddy!" Ryder reached for Jeremy. He took Ryder out of the chair and kissed Ryder's nose.
"Hi Sam!" Devlin greeted as he sat the bags he was carrying on the table. Devlin climbed in Sam's lap carefully and placed his hand on her belly. As a sign of respect for saving him Devlin always said a small prayer for Sam and baby in his language.
"Hey Sam! Surprise to see you here!" Cam greeted.
"Yeah Janet told me about this group and I decided to come have lunch" Sam smiled.
"You're in luck!" Cam smiled as he put a box down in front of Sam. Sam opened the box to see her favorite sesame chicken and fried rice.
"Thank you!" Sam smiled.
"I got you those noodles you love. You two sit and eat Cam and I will set up the food." Jeremy offered.
"Thanks guys I appreciate it!" Laney smiled as she took Ryder from Jeremy. Cam went to get Devlin from Sam when he saw Sam feeding Devlin chicken and rice.
"How come you eat for Sam but all I can get you to eat is hot dogs?" Cam frowned at Devlin.
Since Sam was on lab duty Cam took some time off to foster and get to know Devlin. Martouf went to help the Tok'ra.
"It's the power of being a woman! Ryder does stuff for Laney that he won't do for me." Jeremy patted Cam on the back as they headed to the kitchen with the bag of food.
"I hope you will join us again for lunch when things are not so crazy. We hope to have a ladies night this Friday. If Jeremy has to work late then maybe my mom can keep Ryder if not we'll have a play night at my house. You are welcome to come!" Laney offered.
"That sounds fun I have to see what is happening at work." Sam smiled.
Sam finished her lunch and went back to work. She hoped no one noticed she was thirty minutes late. When she got back she looked at the test results Janet had taken before she went to lunch. Sam shook her head and went to talk to General Hammond. Jack, Daniel and Janet were in the physical therapy room with Anise when she walked up to the room with General Hammond.
"Anise can I speak with you outside?" Sam asked walking into the room.
The Tok'ra walked into the hall. Sam told Anise and Hammond about the virus she saw in Jack's blood work. She was a little surprised when Anise agreed with her about the virus. Not only was a virus released but they were addicted to the armbands. Sam agreed with Hammond that the armbands should come off. Sam watched in horror as Jack and others try to pull off the armbands but couldn't.
"A little problem here, sir!" Jack grunted as he tugged at the armband.
"Colonel?" Hammond asked.
"Having a problem complying, sir!" Jack looked at Hammond.
Jack sat a Sam's lab table he could tell she was not happy about the armband. She sat a her computer looking at something when her hand went to her belly.
"I think the baby moved it was small but it felt different!" Sam grinned.
"See it just took time! Are you going to that ladies thing Friday?" Jack asked.
"I don't know we might be surgical removing your arm to get the armband off by Friday!" Sam snap.
"Come on! I feel great! I actually want to go work out with Teal'c again." Jack insisted.
"Go have fun." Sam pointed to the door.
Sam was really concerned about the effects the armbands were having on her friends. Janet didn't even want to help with the armbands. She imageined that being able to write and read a thousand word book in under two hours was pretty amazing. She just couldn't shake the feeling something bad was going to happen.
Sam sighed as the guards opened the door. She stepped into the room her husband and friends were being held.
"You kicked a hole in Hammond's office then put Siller in the infirmary, really Jack?" Sam asked crossing her arms over her belly.
"He'll survive! Plus I sent flowers!" Jack shrugged. He stepped forward to touch Sam's belly and she stepped back. She saw the hurt flash in his eyes. Sam knew Jack would never purposely hurt her but she didn't trust the armbands.
"I'm going to go home please try to stay out out of trouble you three!" Sam leaned in and kissed Jack on the cheek.
"Drive safe! Love you!" Jack said.
"Good night!" Janet called from the computer.
"Night, Sam!" Daniel waved.
Sam couldn't believe they couldn't even make it one night. Now she was sitting in Hammond's office. She also had bad news from the new blood work.
"I thought the devices were suppose to enhance them physically, not make them stupid." Hammond walked from around his desk.
"You will have to ask Anise about that, sir." Sam sighed.
Sam delivered the bad news that the people she cared about more than anything in the world organs were failing. Their bodies just weren't made for that much strain.
Hammond dismissed Sam as SG-1 came into the briefing room to talk about what happened the night before.
Sam wasn't sure she had ever been so mad at Jack, Daniel and Janet. They deified orders and went to destroy Apophis new ship. Well she seeing red at Anise. She should have done more research on the armbands before giving them to SG-1. Now looking at the results before they went through the gate the armbands could fail before Jack and the others could finish their mission. Sam knew the risk everytime they stepped through the gate they may not come back, but she really didn't want to become a single parent.
Sam waited until Jack an the others were in the infirmary before she decided to go home. She was still to mad at them and they were still coming off the side effects of the armbands.
"Hey sir, I'm going to head home early if that is OK with you?" Sam asked Hammond walking in to his office.
"Of course Major, was Jack released already?" Hammond asked.
"No sir, Jack is going to get a ride home with Daniel." Sam sighed.
"I see. Goodnight Major I'll see you tomorrow." Hammond patted Sam's arm.
"Goodnight, Sir!" Sam said.
Hammond walked down to the infirmary. Jack and the others were sitting on beds talking.
"General!" Jack stood up.
"At ease Colonel!"
"We just can't say sorry enough." Daniel said.
"I'm not the only one you need to apologize too. Major Carter O'Neill just left after tirelessly working on how to get the armbands off. She pretty much said Colonel O'Neill could find his own ride home." Hammond explained. Jack rubbed his face and Daniel and Janet looked down sheepishly.
Sam found herself outside Laney's house in tears. She didn't know why she came. Sam couldn't tell anyone about what happened. Sam heard a soft knock on the car window. She looked up to see Jeremy holding Ryder. His light brown hair was will wet like he came home from work showered and was taking Ryder out for the night. His dark blue eyes looked concerned.
"Major are you OK? Jeremy asked when Sam rolled down her window.
" Yeah just a rough week at work." Sam sniffed.
"Everyone made it back safely from the mission right?" Jeremy asked kindly.
"Yeah they are fine. I'm not sure why I came I should go." Sam went to start the car.
"Please don't go yet! I'll be right back!" Jeremy hurried back towards the house.
Sam took a couple of deep breathes and closed her eyes.
"Hey Sam! Heard you had a bad week. You want to come in and just talk ,I know it can't be about your job, but just talk?" Laney asked softly.
"My husband is stupid!" Sam sniffed.
"Come inside! Plenty of us will love to here about it and share some stories too!" Laney chuckled.
Sam smiled and got out of the car. She walked into the living room where several women sat.
"Hey, ladies! This is Sam!" Laney introduced. The women smiled and waved. A pregnant woman with honey colored hair, blue eyes and a kind smile came up to Sam.
"Hi! I'm Missy! I'm Laney's sister in law it's nice to meet you! Come have a seat!" Missy offered.
"Thanks." Sam sat down.
"Do you want a ginger ale or something to drink, Sam?" Laney asked.
"Yes, thank you!" Sam said.
Sam laughed and talked with the ladies for a long time before she looked at her watch. She realized Jack didn't know where she was.
"Can I use your phone?" Sam asked.
"Of course! There is one in the kitchen!" Laney said as she pointed to the kitchen.
"Thanks!" Sam walked in to the yellow kitchen.
Sam picked up the phone and dialed the number. The machine picked up.
"Hey Jack it's Sam! I'm so..."
"Sam! Hey it's Daniel! Are you OK?" Daniel picked up quickly.
"I'm fine I decided to go to a friends house. I lost track of time is Jack there?" Sam frowned.
"Yeah. Hey Sam I'm really sorry for everything this week!" Daniel said softly.
"Sam? Are you ok, sweetheart?" Jack came on the phone.
"Yeah I decided to go to my friends house. I lost track of time I should have called earlier!" Sam apologized.
"Right it's Friday. You having fun?" Jack asked.
"I am. It's getting ready to wrap up soon. I'll trybe home within the hour. I love you!" Sam said.
"I love you too! See you soon." Jack said.
Sam could hear the worry in his voice.
"I should be going." Sam said as she walked out of the kitchen.
Jack met her at the door as she walked in. He hugged her. Then put his hand on her belly.
"I'm so sorry, Sam. I never meant to hurt you. I love you so much." Jack began to kiss her.
"I love you too, Jack but we have someone else besides us to think of now." Sam put her hand on top of Jack's hand on her belly.
"I know I just thought we had found something to defeat those damn Goa'ulds. I was just so excited" Jack sighed into her shoulder.
"Did you feel that?" Sam asked suddenly.
"No! What?" Jack asked.
"The baby moved again right where your hand is but it must not be strong enough yet." Sam grinned.
"You telling daddy to get his stuff together too, baby?" Jack cooed at her belly.
"I'm tired, Jack." Sam took his hand.
"Me too!" He grinned as Sam lead them to their bedroom.
