It was late.
Other than the normal night shift, they were the only four left in the SGC. The Mastra and To'pa had gone home hours ago, perfectly fine and overjoyed with all of the information they'd gotten from their time on Earth. The three ex-hosts had gone through a number of exams and debriefs to make sure there were no lasting effects on them. And there weren't.
Except one.
Sam was sitting on the bed, Jack was standing beside her and Cass stood behind them, on the other side of the bed, all waiting for the verdict. Janet turned around, not sure if she was the bearer of good news or bad.
What a group of people! She thought to herself. She laughed inwardly, trying to imagine the future.
I heard that! a young voice said in her head. She glanced at Cass but the girl wasn't smiling. Janet took a breath.
"Sam, you're pregnant" she told her friend softly, "About 20 days I'd say" For a moment niether Jack nor Sam said anything. This would be the second child they'd concieved together without their knowing, or their consent.
"I.....don't know what to say" Sam replied, looking at Jack, but even Cass was having a hard time of deciphering what he felt.
"Why don't we ......go home. Talk about it tomorrow?" he suggested. The four of them walked out together in silence, Janet feeling very much like a "third party", or rather a fourth.
"Be careful!" Jack called to Sam as she got in her car.
"I will" she answered.
The next morning, however, Jack hadn't emerged from his room when his daughter left to visit Cassie. She could feel the roll of emotions he was dancing with, but she didn't listen in.
I'm going to Cassie's she informed him as she walked out the door, I'll be back soon.
At the Fraisers, she sat quietly in the other girl's room.
"You were funny the first week" Cassie said to stir the air, "You had no idea what to do at school"
"I know" a small smile curved her lips at the memory, "People make it sound easy" The silence resumed again, each girl in her own thoughts, until Cass picked up on something coming from Cassie.
Was is wierd? she asked mentally, Having Unlce Danny as a Dad?
"I don't know" Cassie answered, "It was only when you were here"
But?
"I know my Mom really likes him" Cassie admitted, "He's kinda weird, but he'd be an okay dad I guess" And Cass caught what her friend hadn't said, that it would be nice to have someone to call "Dad" again.
"Do you think your parents are going to get married?" Cass looked out the window into the blue sky.
"I don't know"
