Jack smiled as Hannah blew spit bubbles at him.
"What does Sam think of you teaching Hannah how to spit?" Daniel asked as Jack wiped Hannah's face. He and Cassie helped set up for daddy's play date night. It was a Friday night, so the kids wouldn't have school the next day. Janet had got stuck at work.
Jack blew on Hannah's tummy, making her giggle.
"She knew how to spit, Daniel. I just encouraged her." Jack said, glancing up at Daniel from the playmate. Before starting a game of peek-a-boo.
"So Sam doesn't know you taught her." Daniel said, smirking.
"Jack, did you set out the snacks yet?" Sam asked, walking from their bedroom. Sam hadn't gotten dressed up as before. She wore a long sleeve powder blue sweater and a pair of nice jeans.
"No, mommy I wanted daddy to play!" Jack had picked Hannah up and was talking from behind her back. Hannah began to fuss.
"I'm glad I didn't pump before walking out here. That's a hungry cry!" Sam said, taking Hannah from Jack.
"Come on Daniel, help me set up the snacks." Jack said, pushing himself up from the floor. Daniel and Jack went into the kitchen.
"You love your play time with daddy, don't you baby girl." Sam said, stroking Hannah's hair. She loved the cooing noises Hannah made as she ate. Sam had just finished feeding Hannah when Jeremy walked in with Laney and the kids.
"Hey guys!" Sam greeted.
"Hi Sam! I can do a cartwheel!" Ryder said, proudly.
"Wow, that's cool bud!" Sam said, smiling.
"Last time we did this we were both still pregnant at least this time we can have a little wine." Laney said as Lilly smiled at Sam and Hannah.
"That sounds like a plan to me!" Sam agreed.
Ryder did a front roll and landed in front of the couch.
"Ryder, remember we only do gymnastics on padding." Laney reminded.
"Can I do my cartwheel on the grass? I want to show Jack!" Ryder asked.
"If you are careful." Laney said.
Missy and Teddy came in next with their kids. Laura and Josh were carrying the twins. Tucker came in holding Davis and Benny's hand.
"Is Lola here yet?" Davis asked.
"No, I know Cam wasn't at work today because he had a meeting at Dev's school. So I don't know if they are coming.
"Lola was at nastics today she said she was coming tonight." Ryder said.
"You and Lola take gymnastics at the daycare center?" Sam asked.
"She's in the older class we eat snacks together." Ryder nodded.
"Ry guy and the chaos crew!" Jack greeted. The kids rushed to give Jack a hug. Even though the seven kids were well behaved for kids. Jack still called them the chaos crew, which the kids thought was hilarious.
Suddenly, there was a loud knocking at the door.
"Come in!" Jack called as he headed to see who was at the door. It surprised Sam when Teal'c came in the living room with Bra'tac and Ry'ac dress in street clothes. Jack looked just as surprised that Hammond let them come with Teal'c Hammond had not let them travel off base yet. Bra'tac walked over, smiling.
"Hey! This is a surprise!" Sam said, looking at Teal'c.
"Indeed! I wasn't excepting them to visit and was glad that they could come with me tonight." Teal'c explained.
"The little warrior has grown much." Bra'tac took Hannah from Sam. Hannah reached for Bra'tac's nose.
"Your daughter is beautiful, Major Carter O'Neill!" Ry'ac said as Sam hugged the teenager.
"Thank you!" Sam smiled. Bra'tac was gently bouncing Hannah, making a snapping noise at her so she would follow.
"She is weighted like a healthy warrior. Her reflexes are sharp. Your training is going well!" Bra'tac said, sounding proud. Hannah yawned and laid her head on his shoulder. Bra'tac smiled and put his hand on her back protectively.
"No training! Just a healthy baby girl." Jack assured.
"Are you visiting from where Teal'c is from?" Laura asked.
"They are this is my son Ry'ac and master Bra'tac." Teal'c introduced. Ry'ac smiled and walked over. Laura thought Ry'ac was going to shake her hand when she held it out instead he kissed the top of her hand. Laura turned pink.
"Why did you do that?" Tucker asked.
"It is how they greet people I'm their culture. Don't be rude Tucker." Missy scolded.
"I've seen where she scratches with that hand." Tucker shrugged. Laura's eyes grew wide as Teddy clapped his hand over Tucker's mouth, moving him back to talk to him.
"My little brother is ...
"Is protective as a brother should be." Ry'ac said, smiling charmingly.
"I'm Josh." Josh held out his hand to Ry'ac so he would let go of Laura's hand. Ry'ac shook Josh's hand, then bowed in respect. He smiled again at Laura, then went back to his father.
Missy took her youngest daughter from her oldest, so Laura could go calm down and control her blushing. Darius came in next, carrying Jordan, and Cassie took him. Darius then came in with the new baby and Vicky behind him. Sam went over and hugged Vicky.
"How are you doing?" Sam asked.
"Good. Patrick is a good eater and sleeper. He doesn't have colic like Jordy had. He is just a chill little baby right now." Vicky said.
"Ordan! Ordan!" Benny cheered, clapping and spinning happily. Jordan had taken a couple of steps to the couch and Cassie sat him on the couch.
"Benny boo hyping up Jordy. Such a sweet boy!" Vicky said, smiling. Darius walked over, holding Patrick. He knew everyone was going to want to hold the baby. Sam reached for Patrick.
"Hello, sweetheart, you look just like your brother!" Sam cooed as the baby settled in her arms.
"Your child does not wish for you to hold another." Bra'tac walked up with a glaring Hannah. Sam figured it was probably just Hannah's sleepy face, but her baby really looked like she glaring at her mommy.
"Miss Hannah, you are so cute, even grumpy. Look at that hair and those cheeks!" Vicky cooed. Hannah, liking the attention, smiled at Vicky.
"Now she's awake!" Sam said, smiling as Vicky took Hannah. Bra'tac bowed and went back over to Teal'c and Daniel.
Vicky cuddled Hannah. Jack walked over to see Patrick.
"Hey little man!" Jack cooed.
"OK, I'm keeping this sweet girl. She's a cuddle bug." Vicky said, melting as Hannah cooed and laid her head down.
"Did you just swap babies?" Darius asked playfully.
"I love the new baby smell, but I'm kind of attached to Hannah." Sam said, giving Patrick back to Darius.
"Yeah, we are kind of in love with the drooly thing." Jack said, wiping Hannah's chin with his thumb.
"OK, I guess I'll give you back!" Vicky gave Hannah to Jack, smiling.
Cam and Carolyn came in with the kids. Devlin hurried over to Missy and hugged her tight.
"Hello, darling!" Missy said, hugging Devlin back.
"Dev is really excited about his new school set up!" Cam said, grinning.
"Good, so you were able to get everything worked out with the school!" Missy said happily.
"Thank you, so much for letting him come to your house. The school said they had no problem letting Dev come back for his therapies." Cam said.
"No problem, I'm already home schooling my kids. One more want be a problem and he is using the same homeschool curriculum as Parker, so it will be easy to get help if Dev has problems setting up." Missy explained.
"So you decided to go back home schooling?" Daniel asked as he walked up.
"Yeah, Dev was having a really hard time in school. Home school was just the best option." Cam said.
"I'm glad you guys found something to help." Sam smiled.
"Sam, look at my new leotard!" Lola said as she unzipped her jacket and lifted her shirt to show her pink and white sparkly leotard.
"Very pretty, Lo, but I want to read your shirt!" Sam said, kneeling down to get a better look at Lola's shirt.
"Oh, it says big sister!" Lola said proudly as she pointed to the dark pink letters on the white shirt. The room went quiet.
Sam hugged Lola, then jumped up and went to hug Carolyn, who was a little pale, and Cam!
Everyone else began their congratulations.
"Yeah, our grandmas got so excited when they found out mommy was having twins they cried!" Lola said to Teal'c when he picked her up to hug her. Again, the room stopped.
"You did great at keeping the surprise for this long, Lola!" Devlin praised.
"Mom said I could tell as soon as someone noticed my shirt!" Lola looked around at the now smiling.
"You did very good, sweetheart! We have been holding our breath for the past two weeks. Ever time we saw her with Ryder at gymnastics, I would start sweating!" Cam chuckled.
"It is not wise to hold your breath that long, Colonel Mitchell." Teal'c frowned.
"I didn't really hold my breath that long, Teal'c. It's an expression. I'll explain it to you later." Cam explained.
"How far along are you?" Laney asked, hugging Carolyn.
"I'm twelve weeks today!" Carolyn said, smiling!
"That's amazing congratulations!" Missy hugged Carolyn.
"I'm going to need some advice!" Carolyn said, putting her hand on her little belly.
"Listen to your body. If it wants sleep, you sleep. You are growing two people in there that's a hard job. Worth it, but hard." Missy said, placing her hand on Carolyn's hand.
More kids and dads arrived, and Jack had moved the kids to the backyard. He had put Hannah in the carrier so that he could run around with the kids and be hands free. He had put on her blue and pink jacket with matching hat to stay warm and protected from the wind. Sam waved to him when the moms were ready to leave. Jack walked over to her. Hannah was grinning and babbling.
"We are getting ready to leave we are going to carpool like last time.There are two bottles in the fridge if she needs them. I love you banana girl be good for daddy." Sam said then kissed Hannah on the cheek.
"I love you be careful!" Jack said then kissed her.
"I will! I love you, too! Have fun!" Sam gave him one more kiss before leaving.
Some kids began doing gymnastics outside. Some of the little ones were mostly diving on the ground, but they were laughing, so the dads were happy.
"Lola is doing pretty good keeping up with the older kids doing gymnastics." Jeremy said to Cam as they watched some of the older kids help Lola do a flip.
"Her coach says she got talent. Coach Mary wants to take Lola and serval other five year olds to a mock competition to see how the kids do. If they place, she wants to start doing small competitions with her since she is so young," Cam explained.
"Wow, that's great Ryder is just working on balance and jumping off things. It has calmed him down and made him more social!" Jeremy said, beaming!
"Yay, I should have known as much as Dev likes to eat he loves his cooking class. He is actually fantastic." Cam said, smiling.
"I've tasted your cooking I'm glad someone you have someone that can cook for you!" Jeremy laughed. Cam pushed Jeremy.
"OK, everyone, it's getting a little chilly and dark let's go inside!," Jack called. Everyone began to go into the house. Daniel was now holding Hannah, who was babbling and cooing to Phoebe, who was in Teddy's arms.
"Dada...Dada!" Phoebe said, looking at Hannah. Hannah laughed and then looked up at Daniel. She then blew spit in his face. Phoebe let out a belly laugh.
"What are you two talking about, baby?" Teddy asked, tickling Phoebe.
"Give me my baby!" Jack said, walking up to Daniel.
"She wants to stay with her uncle Daniel." Daniel said, turning away from Jack. Hannah looked at Jack and then Daniel, then spit in Daniel's face again. Jack couldn't help but smile.
"You look like Sam, but act like Jack. I'm going to be in trouble because I won't know what to expect." Daniel sighed at the smiling baby.
Daniel put Hannah in her saucer toy. She pressed the buttons to make noises. Teddy put Phoebe down and she pulled herself up on the toy. Jeremy brought Phoenix over to the toy when he started to kick his legs.
"They love their saucer toy. So Phen got super excited when he heard the toy." Teddy laughed.
Hannah shrieked when the twins tipped the saucer forward. She wailed. It didn't seem to phase the twins.
"It's OK ,sweetheart, my little brutes didn't mean to scare you." Teddy soothed, picking Hannah up.
"Its getting close to bedtime too." Jack said, rubbing Hannah's back. Jack took Hannah and went to heat her bottle. He swayed with Hannah in the kitchen. She was getting really mad and was smacking her hands on his chest. Teal'c came in and took Hannah. She looked shocked for a second, then reached for Teal'c's forehead. He pushed her hand down.
"You have to be patient, Hannah Grace Carter O'Neill." Teal'c said, patting her back.
"Yeah, four month olds aren't very patient, T." Jack said as he tested the bottle. He then took Hannah and put the bottle in her mouth. Hannah ate quickly. Jack could see Hannah was drifting off to sleep while she was eating. He took her and rocked her while she finished eating. He cuddled her, then turn on her white noise machine before kissing her on the forehead and lay her in the crib.
