Chapter 15
Sam stood there with her hand on her slightly raised stomach.
"Carter?" asked Jack.
"Sir." She grabbed his hand and put it on her stomach. Jack could feel little kicking motions.
"It kicked?" he asked with a big grin on his face.
"Yeah" she said.
He continued to grin.
"Our baby's kicking, sir."
"Yeah, and Carter,"
"Yes, sir."
"Don't call me sir at a time like this."
"Then don't call me Carter, Jack."
"Okay, Sam." That those words a feeling went though them even in the comfort of his house this was beginning to seem different.
The baby had stopped moving for now but Jack's hand was firmly on her stomach.
"Hasn't it kicked at all before now?" asked Jack.
"No." responded Sam.
"First kick." He said. "We need to write this down somewhere." He raced upstairs and got what looked like a baby book.
"Sir, you brought a baby book?"
"Wanted to be prepared."
"Well, you are."
"First kick, first kick, oh here." Jack put down the date and time as best as he could remember it.
"Baby's first kick." said Sam.
"Yeah."
Sam looked at her watch. "Oh sir I'm supposed to be at the base for an ultrasound soon.do you want to come?"
"Sure." he said happily.
A half an hour later they were in the infirmary with Janet.
"Ready?" asked Janet as he lifted up the hospital gown and put a cover on Sam.
Sam nodded.
"This will be a bit cold," said Janet. When she applied the gel Sam shrived. "Told you." Janet turned on the machine.
The next thing they saw was black and white blobs on the screen after Janet had applied the device to Sam's small rounded stomach.
"There's the head, and the spine." She said and pointed to it. "A little hand." Sam was now crying. Jack stared at the screen in awe. A few minutes later Janet was handing Sam a printed picture.
"Everything seems to be fine." Janet said. She cleaned Sam off and left the room. "You can get dress now." Janet left the room. Sam proceeded to get behind a curtain and get changed when she came out Jack was sitting in the same place staring at the floor.
"Sir?"
"Yeah, Carter." His head came up.
"What are you doing?"
"Just thinking."
"About what if you don't mind me asking."
"You and our baby."
Sam looked at him.
"Do you think something's going to happen sir?"
"No, not really."
"Then what?"
"Today when the baby kicked I thought it was in trouble because of how your face went."
"I'm sorry sir I just wanted to make sure it was just kicking."
"No, don't be sorry."
They were in a silence.
"It did it again." Sam said breaking the silence.
"What?" Jack asked.
"Kicked me."
"May I?" Jack said motioning to her stomach.
"Sure sir."
"Jack, remember its Jack." She didn't say anything. She just grabbed his hand and put it on her stomach. She moved it around a bit and he got a feel for her rounded abdomen. Then, he felt a sharp kick to his hand. It was bigger than it was before.
"Wonder if it's a boy or a girl?" asked Sam.
"Maybe it's a girl, she seems to have your kicking skills."
"Maybe it's a boy, you have some pretty good kicking skill too."
"We should go, sir we'll be missed, soon."
"Yeah." Jack said and they left together.
