Telling Jack.
Samantha Carter headed for the cafeteria. She had half an hour before the briefing and in that time she wanted to have some idea what the Colonel wanted in regards to the pregnancy, and she wanted to have told the General. She had been rehearsing what to say to both since she had left the infirmary and she was nervous as she had absolutely no idea how either would react to the news. For her it was just beginning to sink in and she couldn't deny that she was excited or that she was scared.
When she reached the cafeteria door she stopped and took a deep breath. She already knew he was in there, she had asked another officer who she had met while walking down the corridoor, she just hoped he wouldn't hate her.
"Hey."she said quietly sitting down at the table where he sat with Daniel and Teal'c. "Do you guys mind..."
The two of them promptly got up. "Perhaps it is time I taught you my meditating methods Daniel Jackson." Teal'c told the ever curious officer as they left the cafeteria.
"Everything okay?" the Colonel asked as he watched her fiddle with her shirt.
"That's a matter of opinion...sir." she told him. "Could we go somewhere more private?" she asked, prompting a worried look.
"Sure." he said getting up. "My quarters okay?"
She nodded.
When they arrived she started to pace.
"You should probably sit down." she told him.
"Why do I get the feeling this is something serious." he asked sitting on the bed.
"Oh boy." she stated trying to work up the courage to tell him.
"Sam." he pleaded getting up and walking over to her "Would you just..."
"I'm pregnant." she cut in.
"Pregnant? how far along are you?"
"How long do you think...sir." she told him watching as he walked away from her and went to sit on the bed, his head in his hands.
"Look I'm sorry, I didn't mean for this to happen but you deserved to know you're gonna be a father." she told him opening the door and getting ready to leave, thinking he was angry.
"It's mine?" he asked.
She walked over to the bed and knelt down in front of him. "Who elses would it be. I don't exactly go around sleeping with everyone on base or off world." she told him. "I wanted you to know I'm going to have this baby Sir." she then told him strongly. "I want it, even if it does go against the regulations."
He looked deep into her eyes "You know something..I want it to." he told her sincerely taking her into his arms. "I love you, you know that don't you." he then told her.
"I love you too, and yeah I do know." she said through the tears.
"Then you know that I'm gonna take care of you, the both of you." he said gently putting a hand on her stomach., which she promptly covered with her own. "I just don't understand why you didn't come to me earlier."
"I was scared Jack. We could lose our careers because of this and I know how much yours means to you. I'm willing to lose mine if it means being able to keep this child because I know that I'm going to have to explain this to the General why I'm suddenly carrying a child. I just didn't want that for you."
"I'm the one who should make that decision Sam." he told her tenderly.
"And what have you decided." she asked almost afraid before starting to cry again.
"Hey." he told her holding her tight. "This isn't healthy for our child. If we're going to do this together then you're going to have to let me be part of this, not just assume I'm going to leave."
"What about the General? what if we lose everything, our careers, our team, everything."
"Then we've still got each other, and a beautiful baby. Besides do you really think General Hammond would split up one of his best teams?"
"I was so sure you were going to hate me or be angry."
"I could never be angry. Come here." he told her holding her tight "You are so beautiful you know that." he whispered in her ear. "You're positively glowing. I think this agrees with you."
"Hey you haven't seen me suffering from morning sickness yet, but yeah I think it does agree with me."
"Then I think we've got some explaining to do." he told her taking her hand. "Don't you?"
