"So, she didn't take it very well." Jack said.

Daniel shrugged. "It's not the... baby. It's the matter of Skaara and Klorel."

Jack frowned. "Well, it's not like she doesn't know who the father is."

"Actually sir, in a way it is." Sam said. "I mean, we have no idea what effect a Goa'uld symbiote would have."

"So, Klorel in Skaara's body may be the father." Jack shook his head.

"I'm sure Danielle wouldn't have..." Daniel paused, "you know... if Klorel had been in control."

"But even if it was Skaara she was with, Klorel's symbiote might have had some effect." Doctor Frazier jumped in. "That could explain the pains she's having. Teal'c, any thoughts?"

Teal'c shifted in his chair. "I have heard rumors of Goa'uld slave women who have become pregnant. They were killed."

"Which explains her Apophis trying to strangle her." Sam said.

"Not really. We still don't know why they were killed." Daniel injected.

"Generalhammond, the Tok'ra may be of some assistance to us." Teal'c said.

General Hammond nodded. "Major Carter, I'll leave that to you. Doctor Frazier, how is the other Major Carter?"

"His condition has improved slightly. Heartbeat stronger, but he's not out of the woods yet. He occasionally slips in and out of consciousness. Danielle is sitting with him now."

Pregnant... She still couldn't believe it. Years of trying to find Skaara and then losing him. Now, a baby. She smiled. The human brain is an odd thing. Within an instant of hearing she was pregnant she had run through every emotion she could think of; fear, anger, excitement... even hate. She gasped again as a small pain pierced her abdomen. God, I hope nothing's wrong.

"Hey," a cracked voice called. Major Samuel Carter smiled weakly at his team member.

"Hey." Danielle grasped his hand and squeezed gently. "How do you feel?" Samuel frowned. "Okay. Dumb question."

"The others?"

Danielle sighed and shook her head. "No."

The door to the sick bay opened and Daniel walked. "You're awake?"

Samuel looked over at Danielle. "Who's that?"

"Me in this reality. You should see you. Nice tall blonde woman."

"Woman. Interesting. That's not one of the realities that we predicted during the..." A coughing fit cut him off.

"Sam, you should get some rest." Danielle said smoothing our his blankets. Samuel nodded and closed his eyes.

Daniel led Danielle away to her own bed. "You should take some of your own advice. You look a little pale." Danielle started to laugh. "What?"

"I wonder what Kasuf will say when I tell him."

"You've got an awful lot to think about."

"Yeah. One thing I don't have to worry about though. This kid'll have enough family members to go around." Danielle started to laugh, then doubled over in pain.

"Danielle!" Daniel helped her to the bed. "Janet!"
