The first time Sam found out she was pregnant was not as sweet as when Martouf told Hannah.
Of course the mission went sour.
SG-1 and SG-2 had been sent to the planet to help take take some resources to a village, Jeroming, that had been devastated by the Goa'uld. Despite being simple from the outside they were advanced in technology.
SG-1team consisted of the leader Colonel Jack O'Neill, Daniel Jackson, Teal'c and Dr. Janet Frasier. SG-2 consists of leader Major Samantha Carter O'Neill, Colonel Cameron Mitchell, and Martouf. Jacob Carter also came with them because the Tok' ra wanted a specific type of crystal that could boost the power that the towns people had.
Sam helped pack up the MALP for the hour walk to the town but stopped to take of her top off and wipe her head again, she strapped her gun back on her front. She just wore her black T-shirt and cameo pants. Jack frowned Sam had seemed out of sorts lately. Janet declared her in perfect health so he wasn't sure but she just didn't seem like his Sam. It was very little things he noticed.
"Let's move out kids! Jacob is waiting for us!" Jack ordered. Everyone began to walk towards the town but Sam stayed to operate the MALP that was dragging more supplies. It was a bumpy route for the MALP and Sam would make sure nothing fell off or broke. Jack stayed back with Sam.
"Are you feeling OK?" Jack asked after a few moments of silence.
"I'm fine. I think I ate something weird in the mess hall my stomach has felt weird since yesterday." Sam sighed softly.
"Why didn't you get something from the Doc for your stomach?" Jack frowned.
"It comes and goes. I'm fine really." Sam shrugged.
"Do you think?" He asked softly.
"It was negative two days ago." Sam quicken her pace a little.
"I thought we were going to take those test together?"
"I was so sure this time I wanted to surprise you." Her eyes were wet. They had been try to have a baby for two years. Janet insisted that they were both fine that some people just had a hard time conceiving.
"I'm sorry, sweetheart." He rubbed her shoulder.
"We'll just keep trying." She wiped her eyes smirking.
"That's the fun part!" Jack grinned. Sam began to giggle. He hoped if they had kids they would have Sam's giggle.
Suddenly there was a loud noise above them. Goa'uld strike vessels were above them.
"Take cover!" Jack yelled as Sam and him dove behind the MALP firing at the ships. The others hid behind the trees.
"Jacob if you can read me you have enemy fire coming your way. Get the people underground!" Jack ordered into his radio.
"Our god Anubis will reward us greatly for you Colonel and your team!" Came a reply of one of the leaders from Jacob's radio.
"Damn it it was a set up. OK back to the gate!" Jack ordered waving to the others.
"What about my dad?" Sam asked frowning.
"We will send reinforcements! We've just been set up, Carter we need back up." Jack said as he continued to shoot at the planes.
"Where is Mitchell?" Sam asked when the teams were coming towards them.
"He followed ground troops into the woods towards the mountain" Martouf pointed over his shoulder.
"That wasn't the order!" Jack growled.
"I'll go get him." Sam said.
"Jack the children's home is that way." Daniel said frowning.
"Ok, Janet and Daniel go to the gate and let Hammond know what was going on. Marty go with Sam to get Mitchell and T and I will distract the troops away from the kids." Jack ordered. Everyone quickly spilt up.
Sam and Martouf ran towards the small house that held the few orphans. They quicken their pace when they heard screaming. Cam was shooting at the Jaffa that were trying to grab the children that were scattering.
"Cam help!" Shouted a little voice.
Standing on a very old bridge was Devlin the little boy that had been Cam's shadow the past week. The eight year old had green eyes and wavey brown hair. He had a serious face for a child except when he smiled. Then he could charm anyone. The whole week Devlin followed Cam around asking questions and Cam answered the best he could.
The bridge felt like a trap. Cam knew he would be exposed the second he stepped on the bridge, he didn't care.
"Cam wait!" Sam called as Martouf and her ran up to Cam.
"Sam I have to get him! It's not his fault his leaders set us up!" Cam argued.
"I agree Cam but I'm lighter I'll go out part way with you watching my back and send Devlin to you and Martouf can cover us both while we come back in and we'll take him back through the gate with us." Sam planned out.
"OK let's do this!" Cam said and Martouf nodded.
Sam really wished she didn't feel so nauseous as she stepped on the old wooden bridge. She had only gotten a few steps on the bridge when she heard the staff blast pass her. She heard Cam fire back.
"Devlin come here it's OK!" Sam called as she walked out a little further.
"I tried to be brave and cross the bridge Sam but I'm scared!" Devlin called he wasn't moving.
"Being brave is doing something you are scared of , buddy! Come just a little closer and I'll hold your hand Cam is at the end of the bridge waiting for us and then we are going to take you back through the gate with us." Sam explained reaching out her hand. It was getting harder to ignore the fire fight happening at the end of the bridge.
"Can I live with Cam?" Devlin asked as he took a step closer to Sam's hand.
"I don't know but I'm sure Cam will make sure you find a good home." Sam answered honestly.
Soon Devlin was hugging Sam. She shuffled their bodies until Devlin would be in front of her. The bridge was to narrow to stand side by side so she put her hand on Devlin's shoulder and urged him forward. They had made it to the end when a blast hit the bridge. Sam, Devlin, and Cam slid down the side of the mountain. They were stopped by a very small ridge but it held all three of them. Devlin was unconscious and Sam was vomiting. Cam checked on Devlin first.
"Come on kid don't give up now!" Cam checked Devlin for breathing and pulse. He found the boy had both. Cam reached out for Sam who was now panting with her eyes closed.
"Stupid question but are you OK?" Cam asked softly.
"I'll be fine." She ended the questioning.
"Look those trees look thick and sturdy we might be able to climb all the way up or at least to where we can call for help. " Sam pointed behind Cam.
"OK but how are we going to get up with Devlin?" Cam asked.
"Give me your jacket and shirts well tie him to me like a large baby carrier." Sam said.
"Tie him to me I'll carry him." Cam suggested.
"I want carry him." Sam was already fasting Devlin to her.
With Cam's help Devlin was now tied to Sam with his head resting on her chest. They were looking up into the trees.
"OK nice and slow. Take your time I'll be right behind you." Cam instruted.
Sam had just got up a couple of branches when she heard Cam let out a shocked cry. The ledge had broken before he could climb.
"CAM!" Sam screamed. Sam was sobbing as she climbed the trees. She had to stop and rest, she made sure Devlin had been OK before shutting her eyes for a few minutes. Sam didn't know how long she had been resting when she began climbing again. She had been climbing for a while when she heard her name being called.
"I'm here! Jack! Martouf!" Sam called.
"Sammy?" Jacob's voice called.
"Dad? Dad I'm here in the trees!" Sam called. There was rustling above her then Jack's head appeared.
"I found her! " Jack called as he began to climb in the trees.
"Jack! Cam fell! We have to get a search party looking for him. He could be badly hurt!" Sam babbled as she climbed her way up to him. Being careful not to catch Devlin on anything.
"We got him Sam! A Tor' ka saw him fall and went and scooped him up. He has a broken collar bone but he will live. We were worried about you. You've been missing half a day." He reached down and touched her face. Even though they were on duty Sam wanted to kiss Jack.
"I must have fallen asleep longer than I thought but I had to rest before I climbed more." Sam explained frowning. He grabbed her hand gave it a squeeze.
"You think you can climb a little more ground's not very far. How's the kid?" Jack asked noticing Devlin on her chest.
"He's been unconscious for a while but his breathing and pulse are good." Sam stroked Devlin's soft hair.
"I mean look where he is resting. Kid probably thinks he's in heaven." Jack chuckled.
Sam grinned and continued to climb. They climbed a few more feet until they came to an opening. Jack climbed out first then reached in to help her out. Sam grabbed his hand and with his help was finally back on solid ground. Jack helped her untie Devlin from her so Janet could look the boy over. Teal'c, Daniel and Martouf were there also.
"Sam, thank God! Are you ok?" Jacob hugged her tightly.
"I fine, dad! Are you ok?" Sam asked.
"This whole situation is a long story." Jacob rubbed his forehead.
" I'm worried that he hasn't woken up yet but his stats are good. He definitely has a concussion. I want to do a quick examination of Sam before we head back to the gate" Janet stood up from examining Devlin.
"I'm ok lets get Devlin back." Sam took two steps froward only to fall back into Jacob's arms.
"I don't think you're ok, Sammy!" Jacob lowered her to the ground. Janet and Jack were at Sam's side quickly.
"I'm ok! I just got a little dizzy." Sam tried to push her self up only to have Janet and Jacob push her back down. Janet began to examine Sam by shining a light in her eyes.
"Does anything hurt, Sam?" Jacob asked when he felt Sam tense.
"My stomach hurts again. It comes and goes." Sam sighed. Janet carefully pressed on Sam's stomach.
"It's probably because I carried Devlin up a bunch of trees. I must have pulled a muscle." Sam shrugged.
Salmack was being insisting on something Jacob really didn't want to do so he just gave up and let Salmack have control.
"Dr. Frasier may I use your stethoscope for a moment?" Salmack asked.
Janet handed him the stethoscope. Salmack listened closely to Sam's stomach.
"Salmack what's going on?" Jack asked worried was there something wrong with his wife.
Salmack kept Jacob's face natural but Janet saw something in Jacob's eyes she would ask about later.
"I was making sure Sam didn't accidentally swallow a tree spider. Nasty bugs get in people's gut and don't come out very nicely they make a noise while the nesting in the intestines. I heard nothing. Probably a pulled muscle as Samantha suggested." Salmack handed the stethoscope back.
Sam didn't mind bugs but she got shivers just thinking about a bug in her gut.
"It's ok Sam. Salmack is not even sure if those spiders are here. He just wanted to check they are easier to remove if you catch them young." Jacob rubbed Sam's arm.
"I believe Jacob is correct the tree spiders live light years away from here but you should get check out. Trees are their home. I'm glad you are safe Samantha. I feared the worse when I saw you and Mitchell fall." Martouf assured.
Everyone still looked disturbed as Jacob helped move Sam on to a stretcher.
"I want to do an ultrasound on you, Sam, when we get back." Janet ordered.
"I can walk!" Sam insisted.
"Sam you had a major fall and have a concussion. You are not walking an hour back to the gate Doctors orders!" Janet fussed. Jack and Jacob hid their smiles at the look on Sam's face as Janet walked away. They would carry Sam and Teal'c and Daniel would carry Devlin.
Devlin woke up about half to the gate crying. Janet gave him something for his headache and they continued on their way. They had to stop when Sam vomited. It took longer but they finally made it to the SGC.
"It's good to see you Major Carter O'Neill!" Hammond greeted brightly.
"You too, sir!" Sam said weakly. She was glad to be on the stretcher now she felt horrible again.
Once everyone including Janet had their post mission exam. Janet came into Sam's curtain area with the ultrasound machine. Jack came in right behind her. Sam looked worried.
"I'm sure everything is fine this is just a precaution." Janet soothed as she put gel on Sam's stomach. Jack took Sam's hand and kissed her on the head. He was off duty now he could show his wife affection. Everything was looking normal until Janet stopped moving the wand and went back on her belly.
"Something wrong?" Jack asked. Sam was to nervous to ask.
"No take a look!" Janet stepped back so the could see the monitor.
"No way!"
"Impossible"
Came their shocked replies.
"I don't know why the blood test came back negative but that is a health six week fetus. You are very lucky considering the fall you had, Sam. Congratulations you two! You were off duty for two weeks with your concussion now it's bed rest very limited moving Sam. We got to make sure that little miracle stays safe. I know you want to tell everyone but I suggest waiting the two weeks. As I said before just as a precaution we want to keep baby safe." Janet beamed she was extremely excited for her friends. Sam had tears running freely down her face and Jack was very close to crying. Janet cleaned off Sam's belly and hugged her friends.
"Janet I know you have to put this in your report but do you think we can tell Hammond before he sees your report?" Jack asked grinning.
"I'll get him to come down here and sit my report on his desk." Janet grinned back.
Sam was asleep before Janet left.
It was late at night when General Hammond heard a knock on the door.
"Come in!" He called. He smiled seeing it was Janet Frasier.
"General, Colonel O'Neill would like to see you in the infirmary when you have time." Janet walked into the office.
"How is Major Carter O'Neill?" Hammond asked.
"She had more of internal issues than I expected so I put her on limited movement." Janet explained.
"Will she be ok?" Hammond frowned. He had known Samantha since she was young and knew Jack and Jacob would be devastated without her. They all would.
"I'm certain she will be ok." Janet assured.
"I'll go ahead and go down there." Hammond stood up. Janet put her report on his desk and followed him out the office.
Hammond stuck his head around the curtain to Sam's room. Jack stood up when Hammond entered. Sam was asleep.
"Sam, General Hammond is here." Jack whispered in her ear. Sam's eyes slowly opened and she tried to sit up.
"At ease. Don't sit up Major injury gets you off the hook." Hammond smiled.
"Can I have some water?" Sam asked.
"Sure I'll be right back." Jack pecked her on the head before going to grab her some water.
"How are you feeling, Major?" Hammond asked.
"I'm just really tired but other than that I'm doing ok." Sam smiled softly.
Jack came back with a cup of water. He put the straw in her mouth. She took a long drink.
"Thank you!" Sam smiled.
"We asked you to come down here to tell you about a new member of the team." Jack said seriously.
"What are you talking about, Colonel, what new member?" Hammond asked confused.
"It's a very small member but it will grow." Jack said softly showing him a ultrasound picture.
Hammond grinned brightly. He cared for all of his teams and employees of the SGC but he had a soft spot for members of SG-1 and SG-2. He knew Jack and Sam wanted this baby for while now.
"Congratulates you two!" Hammond beamed.
"Thank you, sir! We wanted you to know first, without reading it in a report. We aren't telling anyone else right now. Doc says we should wait a couple of weeks before we tell anyone else." Jack explained.
"Thank you for wanting to be the ones to tell me. It is an honor. We talk about your limitations when you get out of the infirmary. For now rest and take care of yourself." Hammond took Sam's hand.
"I will thank you, sir! Please don't tell my dad" Sam squeezed his hand.
"I promise I won't say a word." Hammond vowed.
"Your promise is good enough for me, sir." Jack smiled as Hammond shook Jack's hand.
"Good night!" Hammond said as he left.
Sam felt like she slept the whole two weeks but she also felt better. They decided to tell both teams, about the baby, together in the infirmary before Sam was released. They told everyone to come meet their new team member. Sam was sitting up when Janet came in with the ultrasound machine. Sam didn't understand why she was so nervous and nauseous. Well nauseous was the baby.
"You ready?" Janet sounded almost giddy.
"Yep!" Suddenly Sam sat up more and Janet grabbed the trash can as Sam vomited. Janet rubbed Sam's back until she finished.
"Oh god!" Sam moaned.
"That was a rough!" Janet sympathized as she gave Sam a cloth to wipe her mouth and a cup of water to rinse her mouth. A nurse came and grabbed the trash can and other items to dispose of. When Jack and the others came in Sam was still stirring on the side of the bed. The others watched as Jack went to kiss Sam only to have her pull away. Jack knew she would let him kiss her until after she brushed her teeth.
"How are you feeling, Sam?" Daniel asked as he watched her gingerly sit back in the bed.
"Better actually! How are you feeling, Cam?" Sam asked looking at Mitchell who arm was in a sling.
"It's getting better I can move my fingers now! Probably will need therapy on my shoulder. So what is this about a new team member?" Cam deflected.
"Where's my dad and Martouf?" Sam asked looked at her friends and teammates.
"They had to go have a meeting with the Tor'ka. They should be back this afternoon or tonight." Jack said.
"Why are we getting a new member are you unwell Major Carter O'Neill?" Teal'c asked frowning.
"No I'm fine Teal'c. We want to show you something first." Sam looked at Janet as she pulled her shirt up to expose her belly. Janet turned on the ultrasound machine and put gel on her belly. The guys were confused for a moment. It was Daniel who understood first he threw his hand over his mouth with a gasp. Jack's grin grew bigger as the fetus came on screen.
"Congratulations you two! How far a long are you?" Daniel asked.
"I'd say around eight weeks. Nice big and healthy." Janet smiled.
"It has gotten bigger. Hi baby!" Sam said softly.
"Our new team member!" Mitchell grinned.
"This is why you had limited movement restrictions. You were put on bed rest to take care of baby." Daniel smiled.
"What do you think T?" Jack asked noticing the Jaffa just stared at the screen.
"Congratulations O'Neill. You and Carter O'Neill will make honorable parents. I just have never seen the child so small." Teal'c still stared at the screen.
"This is how we monitor the baby while the mother is pregnant. Usually an ultrasound isn't done until around three months but I really wasn't looking for a baby the first time. Then Sam had such a serious fall I wanted to do one more to make sure everything looked good. Probably won't do another ultrasound until around twenty weeks, if they want to know the sex of the baby they can find out or if something goes wrong." Janet explained.
"Pretty cool, uh?" Jack asked.
"Indeed." Teal'c said with a small smile.
Janet turned of the machine and wiped off the gel. Sam sat up smiling at her friends. Daniel hugged her first,tears spung to her eyes. Sam hated being so emotional but knew that was because of baby also. She sniffed a little and rolled her eyes when Daniel let go.
"I'm guessing Hammond knows? Cam asked hugging Sam next.
" Yep he was the first one to know after we found out." Jack answered.
"Cassie is going to be so excited when she finds out!" Janet smiled.
"Cassandra Frasier will make a honorably sibling." Teal'c bowed.
It was later that afternoon Jacob and Martouf were in the mess hall having a late lunch. They were going to meet Jack and Sam later. Jacob smiled when Sam and Jack came into the mess hall with big smiles. Jacob stood up.
"Hey sweetheart, you look better!" Jacob greeted kissing her on the head.
"I feel better." Sam smiled.
"What did you want to tell us?" Jacob asked.
"Might as well get to the point." Sam said pulling out a grainy black and white picture.
"Holy Hannah! This is amazing Sammy!" Jacob pulled Sam into another hug. Sam laughed as she hugged Jacob excitedly. Jacob patted Jack on the shoulder while still hugging Sam. Jack looked at Martouf who was staring at the photo puzzled.
"I don't think Marty knows what he is looking at on the picture." Jack said.
Jacob turned to Martouf who was still at the table looking at the picture.
"See that little bean looking thing that is my grand baby!" Jacob pointed to a spot on the photo. Martouf's face lit up as he stood up. Martouf shook Jack's hand before hugging Sam. Jacob and Martouf knew that Sam and Jack have wanted this baby for awhile now.
Jacob knew this baby was going to bring many firsts for his Sam and he was glad he would be there to see some of them.
