That kid! By gater101

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

"You have *got* to be kidding me!" I laugh.

"Daniel - just stop!" Jack shouted at me as we waited outside the infirmary as Janet ran some DNA tests on 'Jack's kid'. *No way* is that kid Jack's!

"Sorry Jack, but I mean - she doesn't even resemble you." I hear Sam stifle a giggle and Jack shoot a glare at her.

"Don't you think I noticed that!" He let's out a hefty sigh and continues. " I mean she has *blonde* hair and *green* eyes. None of us - Kynthia and I - have blonde hair or green eyes. Oh God!" He rubbed a hand over his face and I was suddenly hit my guilt about laughing at him.

"Jack - I'm sorry. I shouldn't have." He waves me off.

"I'm gonna lie down. Call me when we get the results." He turned abruptly and left.

I watch Sam as she watches him go, sorrow for my best friend filling my body.

I slump into my seat and decide to talk to her. "So. you and Jack looked pretty close in the briefing room earlier." I look at her and see her smiling sadly.

"Yeah. Daniel I miss him." She leans back in the chair and rubs her still flat tummy. Oh God I forgot! She's pregnant! Oh God! Oh poor Sam.

"Sam, do you think he'll stay?" I know that my question has a double. Obviously Sam picked up on it as well.

"I hope so." She says and smiles. She rises slowly. "I'm going to get coffee want any?" I nod and she walks off.

As soon as she rounds the corner, Janet comes out of the infirmary holding a folder. She looks dazed and surprised that Sam and Jack aren't there, and looks at me hopefully. I shake my head and she nods.

"Did they leave already?" She asks instead.

"Jack's in his quarters, I'll just go get him, and Sam is in the commissary she'll be back in a minute."

"Go get Jack. And then I'll tell you what the problem is."

"There's a problem?" I ask suddenly.

"Go get him!" I rush off to get Jack.

~~

"Jack!" I pound on his door. He opens it and looks irritated. "Sorry. She has the results."

"Thanks Daniel." He mumbles and looks back into his quarters. "Come on." He says to someone behind him. I look behind him hopefully, but it's only Kynthia. She looks upset. Ouch.

Back at the infirmary we wait impatiently as Janet finishes giving someone a prescription. She finally came over to us and opened a file that was lying on the bed. Could have opened it and found out sooner.

"Well I can confirm that the child is not Colonel O'Neill's, however," she pauses but doesn't look up. " The DNA does match that of someone you know." She looks up at us and sighs. "Daniel - did you?"

"What! No!" I shout.

Janet smiles. "That's what I thought. There seems to be a mixture of every persons DNA from your team."

I look at Jack. 'Huh?' is written all over his face.

"What? How is that possible?" Sam asks, ever the scientist.

"I don't know. Did any of you cut yourself, injure yourself in anyway?" Janet eyed us carefully.

"I did not."

"No."

"No."

"No I just..." Jack trailed doff not finishing his sentence. I looked at Sam but she was putting her military training to work.

"Okay, just give me 48 hours and I'll try and figure this thing out. I am ordering every one of you to go home - well except you Teal'c."

"Thanks Doc." Jack said and moved out of the room looking at Sam slightly.

"How you getting home Sam?" I ask her.

"Oh I'm not." She says.

"Why not?" I ask confused.

"I..used to live with Jack. I gave up my house when I moved in with him. I live here now." She sighed.

Just then Jack popped his head back in. He made a 'come on' gesture with his head. "Sam, you coming?"

I watched her intently as her eyes enlarged, but finally went back to her normal size. She took a hesitant step forward and Jack reached out and took her hand, and then led her away.

I turned to Janet. "Yes!" We both shouted. Maybe there's still a chance for them yet.

~*Finito.*~

Right. Need *your* help. Sam and Jack are gonna have a chat. What should she ask him? Let me know.
