Sam headed down to Janet's office, determined to find out what the hell was
going on. She knocked on the door, readying herself.
"Come in." She heard a rough voice call. Sam's determination quickly left her when she saw the state of her friend. "Hey." Sam greeted her. Janet managed a small smile.
"What can I do for you?" She said, turning her attention back towards the paper work in front of her.
"Umm...I was just wondering if you wanted to come out tonight, you know with the Colonel and Teal'c and me?" Sam asked hopefully.
"I don't think so." Janet said, not lifting her eyes. "I've got a ton of work to finish." She said apologetically.
"Oh." Sam said, feeling awkward.
"Was there something else?" Janet asked sharply, the last few sleepless nights shortening her patience.
"No.." Sam replied hesitantly. "Actually yes." She said, her determination coming back. "You've been avoiding me for weeks now, and I have no idea why, have I done something to offend you or something? Because if I have please just tell me so I can try and fix it." She continued. "I miss you." She added softly, "And I've really needed you over the past few weeks."
"I'm sorry." Janet said quietly, still not looking at her friend. "As much of a cliché as sounds, it's not you, it's me."
"Well what, what's wrong?" Sam asked concerned. Janet shook her head.
"It doesn't matter."
"So will you come out tonight?"
"No, I wasn't lying, I can't."
"Are you ok? Health wise I mean, you don't look so good." Sam asked, nothing but concern in her voice.
"I'm fine, I've just picked up a bug or something." Janet replied.
"Right." Sam said, in a tone that conveyed she knew that Janet was lying. "If you decide you want to talk you know where I am." She said storming out of the office. Janet put her head in her hands, unable to hold her emotions in check. She had screwed up, big time, and it was getting to her. She couldn't stop the tears that fell.

Janet paced her bathroom floor anxiously, this was turning out to be the longest three minutes of her life. She looked and her watch for what seemed like the millionth time, the three minutes was up, she took a deep breath, trying to bring herself to look at the test. She picked it up cautiously, her hands shaking. She gasped when she saw the result, she didn't know why, it wasn't that big a surprise, the truth was she'd known for at least a week, maybe it was seeing it black and white, or in this case blue and white. There was no doubt for her to cling on to now. She was pregnant with Jack's baby.
