5 hours later, they're back in SGC, Sam's woken up and Anise is about to
shed light on what going on.
". It seems that the armbands are just increasing what would happen anyway
and indicates that Major Carter will have the baby in about 4 days." Anise
concluded after ten minutes of explaining that the armbands are not any
danger to them.
"4 days?" Jack blurted out, not thinking the armbands would advance them so
much. Anise looked at him respectfully and nodded.
"But that's not it, I don't remember." Sam started off quietly then fell
silent. Jack looked at her quickly, then glanced away, making her squirm
uncomfortably.
Daniel cleared his throat and then said, "That probably something to do
with the planet, with the day I told you about when we first arrived
there."
"And what would that be, Daniel Jackson?" General Hammond asked trying to
take some attention away from Sam, as everyone kept glancing at her.
"It was kind of a time loop that only lasts one day and only happens once a
month." Jack cut in. Teal'c smiled (again as close as he comes to) at the
relief in Jack's face as he explained about the fixed time and length.
"Yeah, and the only reason they knew about this is because there are
records about it. No one else knows of its existence." Daniel explained
agreeing with Jack.
"So in other words, there's no memories." Sam started.
"Just consequences." Everyone finished, throwing quick glances at Sam.
After a minute of silence, Jack blurted out, "Wait a minute. If the armbands are speeding up the development of the baby, will it make us age more?" Anise tried to hide a smirk and replied, "No, it should slow down the aging process." "Huh, wouldn't that be like turning back time?" He muttered, his brow creased with confusion. "No, it would be more like repairing the chromosomes." She replied, her lip twitching from the effort of not smiling. "Huh?" he almost whined, squirming a little with anticipation. Sam sighed and decided to try and explain yet another thing to Jack. "Sir, oxygen starts to damage chromosomes, when someone reaches the age of twenty." she started, explaining it as simply as she could, " the chromosomes are unable to carry on growing, as they have reached to end of their growing period, and eventually leave the appearance of aging." She was going to say more, but Jack cut her off. "Yeah, yeah, yeah, but it works?" he asked, turning his wide eyes to Anise. "Yes colonel, it works," she replied, allowing herself a small smile. "Great!" Jack smiled and looked at his armband almost fondly. Everyone looked at him and tried to stop themselves from laughing, but there were grins and sniggers all round the room. Jack looked up and yelled, "What?" Anise cleared her throat, then said, "Also, because of the baby's rapid growth, Major Carter will have to eat more to stop herself from collapsing again." Jack did his usual frown, lent back, reached into his pocket and then flung a large chocolate bar at Sam's head. She smiled at him then pounced after it like a cat. "You will all need to eat more to keep up with the armbands" Anise continued. Jack looked at his chocolate regretfully, as Sam smirked at him and ate it more slowly.
"Right, now we know where we stand with the arm bands," General Hammond said, jerking everyone out of their silent daydreams, "What are we going to do about the planet?" "Huh?" Jack asked, being his usual intellectual self. "Well Colonel O'Neill. If there are consequences to your actions, you might have caused even more damage." General Hammond said blankly. "Oh for crying out loud!" Jack yelled, waving his hands about to show his frustration, "We were on a mission and we suddenly find out that we can do anything we want, without anyone finding out about it! I mean, stuff like that doesn't happen everyday." he paused tilting his head, "Ok! They do, but. well." "I think what Colonel O'Neill is trying to say, is that we were merely taking advantage of a good situation." Teal'c said slowly "Uhm. thank you Teal'c." Jack mumbled. Teal'c just nodded. "Also, it would be pointless to question us, as the whole point of the day is that everyone forgets." Daniel jumped in. "Very well, but if some problems develop, I'm holding you responsible!" General Hammond announced. Daniel, Teal'c and Sam nodded respectfully, but Jack's jaw dropped and he got up to say something. Daniel kicked him under the table, but Jack just ignored him. Then he saw Sam's face, she was giving him such a glare, he gulped and sat down again, looking like a sulky child.

A scream came from the infirmary. Shit! Jack thought, She's already having the baby! He rushed into the infirmary, knocking a few people over on the way. "Sam?" Jack panted, "Is she ok?" Janet came and took him out of the way of the nurses, who rushing around trying to help Sam. "Yes she's fine, but due to the armbands, the baby is bigger than usual. So it's going to be a lot harder than usual." Janet finished scowling. Suddenly there was a loud cry and someone whispered softly, "Congratulations Major Carter, a baby boy." Sam smiled softly and Jack pushed Janet aside, not noticing her sigh as she turned and walked off. He knelt by her side; she smiled and asked, "Do want to hold him?" "Can I?" he croaked and held out his arms to receive the tiny child. The baby looked up at him with the most innocent blue eyes he had ever seen. "What's his name?" he asked, looking adoringly at the baby. "Jonathon-err-John." She stuttered, her eyes glittering with hope and wonder. They were both thinking the same thing, though neither knew it. Is the child his and what would happen if it was?
* * * * * * * * * * * *
John remained at the SGC, as he was still growing rapidly. He now looked about 5 even though he was just reaching his 2nd birthday and his growth wasn't all that was advanced to a normal child. He was smart. He could usually understand things better than Jack (like it's hard). He had scruffy brown hair and bright blue eyes and he looked exactly like Jack. No one knew for sure who John's father was, but everyone had a similar idea. And these ideas, John liked very much. "Janet?" John asked hopefully "You know those stories about my father? Do you think they could be true?" Janet gave a small smile, but nothing. So John sat on the bed she was trying to make and tilted his face to look at her. "Because. I like them" Janet shot him a surprised glanced "I mean, out of all the people in the SGC. I would, most like Jack to be my father." He concluded unsteadily just as Jack walked in. Jack slid onto the bed and whispered, "so would I" in John's ear. Janet coughed and said formally, "Well it's not up to me." She glanced purposely at Jack and left the room. "What did she mean by that?" Jack asked, his forehead creased in confusion. John slapped his forehead in frustration and muttered, " It's easy enough for me to understand. She, like everyone else, wants you and mum to be together." Jack didn't have the chance to say anything; hell he couldn't if he did! Just then, there was the familiar Alarm, indicating that some one was coming through the Stargate and they both rushed to the gate room.
"It's the Tok'ra, sir," one of the officers said "Dad?" Sam whispered quietly, her face white. Jack glanced at her and understood. She was worried about what her dad would think about John, who was standing by one of the officers operating the gate. Jacob stepped through the wormhole. He was covered in bruises and was limping badly. Sam eyes widened in shock and she rushed up to him, asking constantly what happened. "There's no time, we need reinforcements. The Goa'uld are attacking, I need to go back!" Jacob said quickly, shooing Sam away.
About five minutes after that, they were heading to the Tok'ra home world with as many SG teams the SGC had to spare. "Right everyone, let's kick some Goa'uld ass," Jack commanded, gaining a few smiles, but mostly eye rolling from the officers in the Gate room. Everyone ran through the Stargate, guns blazing, prepared for anything, or so they thought. No one was prepared for what they saw. 50 Jaffa stood waiting for them, 5 feet from the Stargate. They grabbed Jacob round the neck and he fell unconscious to the floor. Jack saw there was no way to win this battle as more Jaffa were on their way to reinforce the first, "Right everyone, retreat, first one through the Stargate explain the mission was impossible to complete!" he yelled and everyone quickly complied, everyone except Sam. "Dad," she screamed and ran to get to him. "Carter!" Jack shouted, panic clearly visible in his eyes. He grabbed her from behind, dragging her struggling back to the Stargate. They almost made it, but Sam managed to break free of Jack's grasp, sending Jack flying backwards through the Stargate, as soon as he reached the other side his head struck the metal ramp and he immediately fell unconscious.
