The Generals Wrath.
"Pregnant? Major Carter is this some sort of joke?"
"No Sir." the Major answered, too afraid to look up at the Generals already reddening face.
"You're telling me that one of the best god damn officers I have on this base, one who I need off world has just suddenly gotten herself pregnant."
"Yes sir."
"And what may I ask are you planning to do about this Major?" the General asked getting off his chair and beginning to pace around his office.
"Actually Sir I'm planning on keeping this child."
"I see, and who may I ask is the father? Though I already get the feeling I don't want to know that detail." he asked glaring at O'Neill who was leaning against a wall.
Jack looked at Sam. He could tell she didn't want him to admit to the fact after seeing the mood the General was in. He could see she didn't want him to risk his career over a consequence of spending just one night together, but when he pictured her, the woman he loved carrying his child...he knew what he had to do "That would be where I come in Sir." the Colonel told the balding officer walking over to where the Major was sitting.
"I see." the General repeated again sitting back down.
"You realise that you have broken regulations that every officer on this base is expected to follow. I should have you court martialed, the both of you, or at least reassigned to diffrent teams..."
"Sir? you can't do that." O'Neill pleaded.
"I don't recall you being the superior officer in this room Colonel, I can do what I damn well please." the General snapped back.
"Do you really want one of your best teams split up sir, a team which has saved your ass, this planets and not to mention numerous other worlds?"
"I may not have a choice son." the General told the Colonel, his voice becoming gentler. "If I'm honest this comes as no surprise to me, and I doubt it will to numerous others on this base, but every officer is expected to follow regulations to the latter, and if they don't then they are expected to be punished."
"General." the Major said quietly getting off the chair on which she had been sitting. "I'm keeping this child whether you like it or not. If you want me to resign then fine, I'll go, but I'm telling you one thing if you don't keep SG-1 together, if you don't keep the Colonel and I together you are going to lose the best team you have on this base. We made a mistake sir." she told him getting louder "But to be perfectly honest with you I don't regret it one bit. I love this man, and I love this child sir and whether you like it or not this child is going to come into this world. Court martial me, do whatever the hell you want, hell you can even fire us if you want to, but the loss of one of the best teams that this base possesses, the team which as Colonel O'Neill said has saved this planet from destruction or invasion too many times to count will be on your head. No-one elses."
"Major that is enough." the General practically shouted.
"With all due respect sir I don't think it is." the Colonel piped in. "SG-1 is not a normal unit, hell the SGC isn't even a normal unit. We go round visiting planets in different galaxies and make alliances with aliens for gods sakes. Surely an exception can be made...sir."
The General sighed.
"Sir this is my child we're talking about and the woman I love. Neither of us expected this to happen, it wasn't intended to happen, it just did and we're happy. Now you can split us up, you can court martial us, to be honest I don't care, but we're in this together because believe it or not I'm not going anywhere, so either we both stay and you keep SG-1 together so we can carry on saving this god damn planet while we find a way to work round Sam's pregnancy and our relationship, or you split us up, court martial us, reassign us, whatever the hell you want and you loose the best team, and some of the best people that have ever graced this base with their presence."
"You are in no position to make demands Colonel O'Neill."
"Really." he stated stubbornly.
" That's it both of you get out of my sight, I don't want to see you until I have made a decision about what course of action to take here." he shouted "I won't say that I'm not disappointed because I am, I am god damned diappointed in the both of you. Now if you'll excuse me I have a phone call to make. Dismissed."
"Pregnant? Major Carter is this some sort of joke?"
"No Sir." the Major answered, too afraid to look up at the Generals already reddening face.
"You're telling me that one of the best god damn officers I have on this base, one who I need off world has just suddenly gotten herself pregnant."
