Well Jack's gone. I still can't believe it. Sam is pregnant with Jack's child and he's leaving her; leaving us his *family*. I know how upset I am and I can't even begin to imagine what this is like for Sam. The 'gate shuts down letting us know that the travellers have reached their destination. I miss him already.
I glance over at Sam but find she has already left. I'm not surprised.
"DanielJackson," Teal'c says to me, "should we not see to MajorCarter's needs?" He asks with far more compassion than I would have imagined for such a big guy.
"I'll go talk to her Teal'c. You stay here with Jacob." I say and move away.
"JacobCarter in what way can I assist you?" I hear him ask as I descend the staircase.
I follow the blue line, which will take me to Sam's lab. I honestly didn't think Jack was capable of this. Actually, I can't believe this was going right under my nose and I had no idea. I look up and find I'm already outside Sam's office. I can't even remember getting in the elevator.
"Hey Sam." I say as I walk in.
She gives me a watery smile and replies, "Hey Daniel."
"You wanna talk about it?" She is quiet for so long and I expect her to say no, but she doesn't.
"God Daniel I can't believe this is happening." She says and let's her head drop onto her hands.
"How long were you together?" I ask gently.
"Five months." Five months! And I didn't even have any idea! I mean I noticed the difference but I thought they'd come to some sort of decision. Well they had. Of sorts. "And oh God they were the best five months of my life! We, um, we decided to try for a kid after 4 but when we didn't you know." I nod and let her continue. "We both decided to get checked out. Jack's test results took longer than mine did. I went to a different clinic so no one would suspect. It was the same clinic that told me I was pregnant." The last word came out as a sob. "I was so happy. Then I went home and he was gone." She continued through her tears. I hate seeing her in so much pain.
I move around the table and take her in my arms and let her cry. After what seems like an eternity, she pulls back and apologizes. "What for?" I ask.
"Your shirts all wet." She laughs, but it is a futile attempt and the sight causes me great pain.
"That doesn't matter." I look at he drawn features and wish there was more I could do to help her. "What are you gonna do about the baby?" She looks at me incredulously as if I've accused her of some horrible crime. I hurry to correct myself. "I mean are you gonna be able to do this on your own?"
She smiles a ghost of a smile. "I have no choice."
"You know, me and Teal'c will always be here. And so'll your dad. And General Hammond." She sobs and I look at her. "What's wrong?"
"I'm gonna get court marshalled. I just know it!" She sounds angry with herself.
"No you're not!" I exclaim. "We'll find a way!"
"Yeah." She sighs. "You know we never did think about the consequences of what we were doing. I mean we were planning on having kids! And not once did we think 'Oh wait, what we're doing is against regulations and no one even knows about us.' It was just....right. You know what I mean?"
"Yeah I understand. Just - were you living together?"
She smiles that ghostly smile again. "Yeah. In his house. Did you never suspect anything when I would turn up at your house with him and only one car? And how when you guys were over I never left?"
"Now that you mention it...." I trail off as I berate myself. How could I not have known? I mean she would turn up in his car for Christ's sake! Man we've been blind. "You really had us fooled Sam, you really did." I laugh slightly.
"The truth between friends." She smiles sadly. "I wonder if we'll ever see him again. You know, if he'll come back for a visit."
I can tell by the tone of her voice that she doesn't think he will. "I hope so." Is all I can think of to say. Suddenly the klaxons go off sending a red glow over everything.
"Unscheduled off world activation! This is not a drill! Unscheduled offworld activation!" The tinny voice announces what we already know.
"There's no teams off world." I say as we jog down the corridor towards the control room.
TBC!
Hahahahaha I'm just playing with you here. What do you think?
