Celebrations on base.
It was late evening and the party was still going strong. The wedding reception had started just over three hours ago but still most of the bases population were thre enjoying the chance to escape from the intergalactic adventures that played such a large part in their ordinary lives, enjoying the chance to be ordinary people.
Samantha O'Neill sat at the table where the bride and groom, the bridesmaids and the rest of the wedding party had had their evening meal, watching the now married Daniel and Janet dance, holding each other close and whispering sweet nothings into each others ears. She remembered her first dance with Jack like it was yesterday, remembered the smell of his cologne, and the way he held her so close, like he was afraid that if he'd let go he'd lose her. If she was honest she would have loved to have got up and relived that moment there with him now, but she had a terrible back ache, something which she found out was common during pregnancy and barely thought she would make it out of the chair.
"A mineral water for my lady." came a gentle voice from behind.
"Where have you been." Sam asked her husband smiling, accepting the glass of water he had brought for her.
"I regret that I have been dancing with a beautiful young woman." he told her, pulling the beautifully dressed Cassandra out from behind his back.
"You okay Sam?" the youngster asked "Jack says you're not feeling well."
"I'm fine sweetie." the Major told the now young woman giving her a hug.
Suddenly she felt a sharp pain.She held her stomach. "Spoke too soon." she whispered through gritted teeth.
"Sam?" Cassandra cried starting to get worried as the Major cried out, grimacing with pain.
"I'm okay, get Janet?" the Major managed to say before another sharp pain hit her, one which radiated throughout her abdomen.
"Jack, Oh my god." she cried as the Colonel began to help her off the chair.
"I've got you." he said squeezing her hand. "You hear me, I'm not going anywhere."
She began to cry.
Daniel and Janet ran through the crowd of people, Janet with Casandra in her arms, the General standing by her side and Teal'c by his.
"It's okay sweetie everythings gonna be fine." the Doctor told the Major issuing some control over the situation. "Okay Teal'c you think you can carry her to the infirmary?."
"I believe so doctor Fraiser...Jackson." he corrected himself, promptly lifting the Major into his arms.
"Jack you go with her." she told the greying man who promptly followed Teal'c, obviously concerned over his wife and child though not before shouting excitedly "We're gonna have a baby people" as he left the Marquee which stood in the grounds of the base.
Janet and Daniel looked at each other assesing what to do about their wedding party. This was the most special day of their lives, they knew that, their best friends child was being born and they were finally together.
"Well people." Daniel said clearing his throat having made a decision, praying it was the same as the one his new wife had made "It's been fun. Thanks for coming...and well..."
"Enjoy the party." Janet cut in as they ran out on their own wedding party to welcome a new child into the world.
