"Janet this is Sam....please respond" gripping hold of the surface of rocks
surrounding her as pain once again hit. She had been alone for almost two
hours, even with Colonel O'Neill's presence he was and had been out cold
for whatever reason in all that time and each time a contraption hit it was
definitely more frequent and painful than the last and occasional panic
would set in.
"Sam" Jacobs voice came over the radio
"Dad"
"Thank god, Jack said you were...."
She cried out in pain before continuing "I need Janet here"
"Sam your not....are you?
"In labour? oh I'd say its....yes"
The radio went silent for a moment before Janet's voice was heard "Sam where's the Colonel?" she asked concern in her voice
"He's out cold Janet, I...."
"Alright Sam listen to me, how long have you been in labour?"
"As of this morning approximately five hours contraptions are a little erratic holding at five to seven minutes apart and hurt like hell, my water broke thirty minutes ago"
"I need you to try and wake Colonel O'Neill again for me....can you do that?"
"I'll try, give me a minute"
"Take it easy"
"Colonel" she yelled her voice echoing round the cave as she dared not to move
A groan was heard coming from him "what?" he scrubbed a hand over his face dropping it to the ground catching sight of her as he did so
"Carter" he said urgently jumping to his feet and moving to her "are you....?" She handed him the radio
"O'Neill here"
"Colonel"
"Yeah doc"
"How do you feel Sir?"
"Headache.....although I'd say I feel a lot better than Carter right now"
"When we get you back to the SGC I need to run a full physical on you, right now however I need you to stay with Sam"
"It seems we're not going anywhere" he replied
"Sir, for whatever reason we can't break a forcefield surround the cave, we're working on it but it's not looking good at the moment....Sir, I need you to help me help Sam"
"Well yeah"
"I need to know what's happening"
"Carter appears to be in labour"
"Sir, I need you to perform an examination"
"What? I'm no doc, doc"
"I can go through it with you.....its important Sir"
"Alright"
"Sir you need to keep this channel open, Jacob has devised a way for us to stay in contact with much better success than radio communication but we need this frequency"
"Rodger that, standby"
He had watched her the whole time, something was wrong he could see it in her eyes. He discarded his radio and finding a blanket he wrapped the radio inside and placed it to one side.
"How's that?" he asked returning to sit beside her noticing her flinch as he did so
"Carter?" he looked puzzled
She was trying to stand, he followed offering assistance to her which was brushed away, he tried again and again till she snapped at him in anger mentioning something about him pulling a gun on her and then even being pregnant managed to directly hit where it would hurt the most although she soon regretted that action and followed him to the ground.
"Woo Carter...what the..." he tried to hold back his groan of pain only to have any obvious sign of it drowned out by her cry
"Sam" he tried hard to compose himself
"You stay the hell.....away from me Sir"
"You need me"
"Like hell Sir"
"Fine you need Frasier, right now she's on the other side of that rock...trust me I'm it"
"Sir...you come near me....I swear..."
"Yeah somehow I don't think you're in any condition to do that again do you?"
"I'll do what I need to"
"Carter trust me you need my help"
"Trust you?"
"Yeah"
"How? begging your pardon Sir, but was it me holding a gun to me because of some belief I shouldn't have this baby?"
"I, what?....when?"
"Doesn't matter...oh god.....the fact is you did it
"Would never happen, remember all the stuff we've gone through, all the stuff I've said and done would I have don't it if I wanted to harm your kid in anyway?"
She shook her head
"See" he stepped towards her showing he meant no harm, she cautiously observed him finding no coldness once seen in his eyes she allowed him to place his arms around her and gently rock her back and forth to ease the pain
