Jacob looked at the Tor'ka meeting going on and sighed. Martouf's last couple of missions had been rough for the Tor'ka and now he was being debriefed. They were going to be late for Sam's party if they didn't leave now but Jacob wasn't going to leave Martouf. Jacob had always known that Sam and Jack were meant to be but he knew that Martouf also cared for Sam and wanted her to be happy. Martouf had always known that it wouldn't work out with them but they both had wanted to try at that time. They had even moved in with each other. That didn't last long when Jack got hurt and Sam's feels bubbled forward. Martouf and Sam stayed good friends. Which is why she would be upset if Jacob didn't bring Martouf with him to her gender reveal party. Jacob paced in front of the group until one of the council members looked at him.
"Is there something we can help you with?" One of the members asked.
"I'm waiting for Martouf we are suppose to be on earth very soon." Jacob said. Martouf smiled gratefully at Jacob.
"We are finishing up now." The council member said.
"Great I'll meet Martouf at the gate in ten minutes." Jacob smiled as he hurried away.
Jacob was a little surprised when Martouf walked to the gate ten minutes later. Jacob dialed the gate and they walked though.
"Cutting it a little close there Jacob." Jack grinned meeting them at the gate.
"I apologize my debriefing ran late." Martouf said.
"Well Sam won't start until I'm there so go change your clothes." Jack said as they walked out of the gate room.
"I thought the parents were suppose to wear what color they thought the baby was go be for these kinds of parties?" Jacob asked looking at Jack who wore a white button down shirt and black pants.
"I think some parents do. Sam and I went to a gender reveal party and the couple wore white because they just wanted a healthy baby and these blue balloons came down and everyone clapped , Sam cried , and it was pretty cool." Jack explained.
"So you're going to have balloons drop down?" Jacob asked as he put on his shoes.
"No Sam and I decided to do cake. I think mainly because she knows I like cake. I'm glad Sam found this group of mothers.I'm not sure she would have done stuff like this and maybe would have regretted not doing them. We have been to a couple of parties and just enjoyed celabrating with friends." Jack smiled fondly.
"Just between me and you what do you think the baby is?" Jacob asked grinning.
"It real doesn't matter ,Jacob, but from the ultrasound pictures I really think girl. Sam thinks the baby looks like me but I saw all Sam. It doesn't leave this room." Jack said firmly.
"I'm thinking girl too!" Jacob nodded.
"Any guesses, Marty?" Jack asked as they made their way out of the locker room.
"What makes you think the baby is a girl, Jacob?" Martouf asked.
"It doesn't really mean anything but Sam's mom carried her the way Sam is carrying." Jacob shrugged.
"I don't know." Martouf frowned.
"We'll find out soon enough!" Jack said as they headed to his truck.
When they got to their house there were cars on the street and in the yard. Jacob let Martouf walk ahead of him, Sam didn't know he was coming, and Jack was behind Jacob. Martouf rang the door bell. Sam opened the door holding baby Benny , the one year old, was laying in her arms holding a bottle. Jack loved Sam on missions with him but he loved seeing her with a baby in her arms and a baby in her belly. She was glowing in the white dress she was wearing. Martouf smiled brightly at Sam's surprised face.
"You made it!" Sam shifted Benny so she could hug Martouf with one arm. She hugged Martouf tightly. Suddenly she pulled back putting his hand on her belly.
"Jack come here!" Sam said excitedly.
"Kicking?" Jack asked trying not push Martouf out of the way.
"Yeah it just started." Sam put Jack's hand lower than Martouf.
"Lucky guy, Marty, got to feel the baby kick before me." Jack teased as he kissed Sam on the head. Martouf wasn't sure how to respond, he just wanted to hug Samantha he didn't know the baby was going to kick.
"He was at the right place at the right time. The baby must can feel the excitement today!" Sam grinned as Benny reached for Jack. Jack took Benny from her and walked into the house.
"So the baby is kicking?" Jacob chuckled as he hugged Sam.
"Yeah Jack has been trying to get the baby to kick all week. Mark and his family got here a few minutes go." Sam patted Jacob's arm as he walked in the house.
Jack finished giving Benny his bottle and was patting him on the back as he walked in to the living room. Missy was sitting in a lounge chair her legs put up. Teal'c was sitting on the couch with Devlin who was reading a book out loud.
"Mama!" Benny reached for Missy.
"There you are baby. I wasn't sure who had you when Teal'c brought me in here to sit down." Missy took Benny and kissed him on the face.
"Missy Taylor's back was hurting so I brought her to sit in your chair with the good lumbar support." Teal'c explained.
"Good thinking, T! " Jack smiled.
"I'll be fine. I think the twins are moving down causing my back to ache more. Teal'c saw me rubbing my back and insisted on me sitting down. Then Dev came in to read to us." Missy explained.
"Did you just arrive O'Neill?" Teal'c asked.
"Yeah. Jacob and Marty were running late but I got them! I should go mingle more then we can have cake." Jack said hopefully.
"Can I come with you, Jack?" Devlin stood up from the couch.
"Sure let's go mingle!" Jack took Devlin's hand.
They walked to the backyard. Children were everywhere playing games and adults were standing around talking. Jack noticed Cam was flirting with Dr.Lam. She had Lola sitting on her hip. The kids got excited and ran to see Jack. Sam smiled the kids love Jack.
"Ok, ok! Ready Set...Devlin's IT!" Jack ran down the deck stairs with Devlin as the kids scattered.
"That's not what I meant when I asked Jack to mingle before we started." Sam shook her head.
"Jack spotted Bree and Kevin!" Mark laughed as Jack put down Devlin and scooped up Mark's six and four year old kids up in his arms. He brought the giggling kids over to them. Jacob took the laughing little boy from Jack's arm. Kevin hugged Jacob tightly. Kevin Carter was tall and lanky for six but had a baby round face with bright blue eyes and dirty blondlittle Bree was average size for four and looked a lot like Sam when she was little. With bright blue eyes and light blonde hair.
"Glad you guys could come!" Jack shook Mark's hand.
"We wouldn't miss this! " Mark smiled as he took his daughter from Jack.
Daniel and Janet walked up with a black woman, man and a little boy in a wheelchair. The woman was short with a thin face. She had long black hair, big brown eyes, and pouty pink lips. She wore a simple light pink dress that showed a small baby bump. The man was tall with the same thin face. His hair was short, big brown eyes and thin lips. The boy was thin but had a round face. Short hair, big brown eyes and pouty lips. He wore gloves on his hands to wheel himself in his wheelchair that could roll over rocks and grass.
"What's your name?" Jack asked the boy in the wheelchair.
"Jordan." Came a soft reply.
"You want to be " it" , Jordan? " Jack asked.
"I do uncle Jack!" Kevin raised his hand as Jordan nodded his head.
"You both can be "it". Here are the rules the boy in the blue Air force shirt is Devlin you work with him. Go easy on the little ones no smacking as tagging. The whole brick wall at the back is safe." Jack explained. He then took the boys out to the middle of the yard and let out a loud whistle through his lips. The kids froze.
"Ok Devlin, Jordan and Kevin are now it. Remember the rules! Have fun everyone!" Jack called. Everyone started playing again as soon a Jack left the boys. Jordan was smiling big as he chased Josh.
"I haven't seen Jordan smile since the accident." The woman smiled sadly.
"This is Jordan's mother, Vickie Petersburg and her brother Darius Calton. He is the new head nurse at work." Janet introduced. Jack shook their hands.
"How old is Jordan?" Jack asked wrapping his arms around Sam.
"He's seven." Darius said.
"When are you due?" Vickie asked Sam.
"In December. I'm due on the twenty fifth but we'll see. I think I'll come earlier" Sam rubbed her belly.
"Ryder will be three on December tenth!" Laney waddled up with Ryder on her hip, she was now thirty two weeks pregnant.
"Hi ya Jack! I saw a big rocket ship at the toy store yesterday!" Ryder opened his arms big showing how long they rocket was.
"Come here Ry guy. When did you start speakers full sentences?" Jack took Ryder from Laney.
"Right, he woke last week and decided to speak like a adult. He hasn't had any potty accidents lately either. Honestly it is bitter sweet. Part of me is thrilled that he might be mostly out of diapers by the time baby girl gets here. Then part of me is really sad because he's my baby boy." Laney explained.
"How did Jermery react when he heard Ryder?" Janet asked knowingly.
"After be gone for a week of training. He was a mess to hear Ry speak in full sentences but you didn't hear that from me." Laney smiled.
Jack walked around talking to more people before Teal'c came rushing, well rushing for him, out of the house. A few minutes later Teddy, Jeremy and Laura ran in to the house.
"Dr. Frasier your assistants is needed in the house urgently!" Teal'c came up to Janet. She followed him with Darius behind her.
"That sounds ominous." Jack said noticing Sam was following everyone in the house.
"Keep everyone out here until we know what's going on." Jack said to Jacob and Daniel.
Jack walked in to the house. The living room was busy with people. Missy was still in his chair panting hard.
"What's going on?" Jack walked up to Sam who was standing with Missy.
"Missy's water broke. The ambulance is on the way." Sam soothed taking Missy's hand.
"I'm so sorry I really thought my back pain was the twins moving. We'll pay for a new chair and towels." Missy panted as Teddy came up with towels. He dried her legs and then helped her get off her pants. Then covered her legs with a dry towels.
"Don't worry about any of that just focus on bringing those babies safely into the world." Jack said as Sam nodded in agreement.
Teddy was helping Missy breathe through the contractions on one side of the chair. Janet was monitoring her progress
"The ambulance is fifteen minutes away." Darius walked up with a first aide kit.
"I'm not sure the first baby is going to wait." Janet reached for a pair of gloves out of the kit.
"They are going to be so little!" Missy said softly.
"Hey we were born three months early and we turned out fine. These little ones are only a month early. Everything will be fine." Jeremy soothed from the other side of the chair.
"I have to push!" Missy tried to sit up.
"Breath through this contraction and push on the next one!" Janet instructed.
"Laura why don't you go outside with the other kids?" Jack asked noticing the teenager watching quietly on the couch.
"Can I please stay? I watched Davis and Benny be born." Laura asked hopefully.
"If you're ok with this." Jack shrugged.
Missy moaned as she pushed.
"Good job, sweetheart!" Teddy kissed Missy's temple.
Missy pushed a few more times.
"Good job, Missy, the head is out! Now pant to help the shoulders out. Your baby will be here soon." Darius encouraged. Missy panted some before Janet told her to push. Missy cried out as she pushed once more and Janet caught the baby. Darius put another towel on Missy's chest as Janet brought the baby up to lay on Missy's chest.
"He's bigger than I thought he would be!" Janet rubbed the towel on the screaming baby boy.
"You did so well, baby, l love you!" Teddy cried into Missy's hair. He really didn't care who saw him cry. He would always cry when his children were born.
"I love you too!" Missy kissed Teddy. They counted the baby's fingers and toes. The baby was bald with blury blue eyes that were now closed.
"He's so cute!" Laura cooed from the couch. Teddy carried the new born over to their teenager. Sam gave Laura a pillow to put under her arm for more support before Teddy laid the new born in her arms.
Sam sat down besides Laura to get a better look at the tiny baby.
"I need to push again!" Missy whimpered.
"You're doing so good, Missy!" Teddy said as Missy pushed.
"Fifteen minutes my ass!" Jack growled softly looking at his watch.
"Sir, could you run out to my van? It's blue with a wheelchair attachment on the back. I have a small oxygen tank and red bag in the back grab both." Darius handed Jack his keys then reached for a new pair of gloves. Jack could see the baby was halfway out and a blueish color.
Jack hurried out to the van and grabbed the items. When he got back into the house Janet and Darius were working on the too quiet new born. Missy was sobbing and Teddy was close to crying. Jeremy was pale and Sam was holding Laura with her arm around her who was crying in Sam's neck. Darius quickly opened the bag and began opening medical equipment. He put a new born mask over the baby's face. As Janet continued chest compressions. The baby began to move and wiggle. She then let out a little cry.
"That's a good girl, princess!" Darius cooed. Janet patted Darius on the back as he laid the baby on Missy's chest.
"It's about time! Ambulance is here!" Jack said seeing the lights outside the window. Jack let the paramedics into the house. They soon got Missy and the babies off to the hospital. Laura and Teddy followed behind in the car. Jeremy promised to bring the other kids to the hospital later. Jack walked over and sat down next to Sam on the couch. She was crying quietly, her emotions running high.
"Sam, sweetheart, Missy and the babies are going to be fine. Take a deep breathe; I don't want you and baby to get sick." He wrapped Sam into a hug. She took a shakey breathe and sat up. He kissed her nose and she smirked.
Janet handed Sam a glass of water sitting down next to her. Sam took a drink of water then sat the cup on the coffee table. She then grabbed Jack's and Janet's hands again putting it on her belly.
"It's nice to meet you, little one!" Janet smiled feeling the little kick under her hand.
"You feel like having cake?" Jack rubbed circles on the kicked spot.
"Yeah, lets have cake!" Sam agreed.
"Let's get everyone together." Jack clapped his hands together standing up.
"Wait let's cut the cake outside. Our living room isn't child friendly anymore." Sam said looking at the lounge chair that had some blood on it.
"Right! We can set up a table outside and everyone can leave through the side gate." Jack nodded.
"Everything ok, Jack?" Daniel asked when Jack walked outside.
"Missy had her twins! It was rough at first but mom and babies are well and heading to the hospital. I need your help moving a table out here so we can find out what my little soccer player is." Jack explained.
"Sure!" Daniel said a little confused.
Daniel and Martouf moved a long table into the backyard. Cam brought out the plates and napkins.
"Teal'c help me move the cake. I don't want to be responsible if I drop the cake. The cake was two tiered cake the bottom teir was light pink and the top tier was light blue both had light sliver stars all over the cake. A little banner on the the top layer had "Twinkle, twinkle little star" on the second layer had "I wonder what you are?". Teal'c and Jack carefully moved the large cake outside on the table.
"Where is Sam?" Jack asked walking in the kitchen.
"Right here!" Sam came out of the bathroom. She had wiped off her face to calm down.
Sam went into the kitchen and got two knives and a cake server to take outside. They walked outside to see their friends and family gathered.
"Thank you all for coming to celebrate baby Carter O'Neill and for your patients. Now for cake!" Jack said loudly to the crowd.
Sam handed Jack a knife and placed the knife where they wanted the cake cut. Then Sam did the same with her knife.
"On three we cut the cake together 1, 2, and 3!" Sam instructed. They cut the cake at the same time making a triangle piece of cake. Sam then slid the cake server under the cake. They lifted the server together to see the layers of cake were shades of pink!
"It's a girl!" Jack cheered as they put the cake on a plate. Sam and Jack hugged then kissed as the group erupted in applause and cheers.
"We have a name already picked out. Hannah Grace Carter O'Neill." Sam proudly said.
Cassie was the first one to hug Sam. Then hurried to Jack to do the same. Janet, who had agreed to cut the rest of the cake for them, hugged Sam next. Others lined up to do the same.
"My baby girl gets a baby girl!" Jacob grinned as he hugged Sam.
