Ch. 2
(Aurora's Apartment, Living Room)
Aurora lay on the couch of the Living Room, tissues and beer bottles were littered all over the room. Her eyes were red and puffy from crying. It had only been two days since Daniel ascended and she still couldn't get a hold of herself. On top of that, she was starting to feel sick and hadn't eaten for 48 hours. Her head throbbed from the Hangover.
She heard a knock at the door. Aurora slowly sat up and headed for the door. She peeked through the peep hole. It was Colonel O' Neill. She opened the door.
"Hey, kiddo!" he greeted, paused and then said, "You look like hell."
"What do you want, Jack?" Aurora asked.
She wasn't in the mood to deal with him at the moment.
"Can I come in?" Jack asked.
"Sure, why the hell not," she opened the door a little wider and let him in.
"Thanks,"
"Just to let you know, I'm not ready to talk about what happened to Daniel yet," she said, cleaning up the tissues for him to sit.
"Okay, good to know," he said.
"So, why are you here?" Aurora asked as she sat down beside him.
"To talk about . . . "
"Daniel," she finished.
"You, actually," Jack corrected her.
"Janet put you up to this, didn't she?" she asked.
"She's just worried about you. We all are," he told her. "She said you didn't eat anything yesterday when she, Sam, and Cassie were over."
"Does six beers count?" she said offhandedly, holding her head, indicating her massive headache.
"No," Jack said.
"I've been feeling queasy for most of the day. I think I'm getting the stomach flu that's been going around the mountain," Aurora said.
"Uh-huh," Jack got up from the couch and headed for the phone,
"What are you doing?" she asked.
"Calling Janet," he said dialing, "I'm letting her know that you're coming over to the infirmary. A little flu bug, could be much worse."
"I'm fine," Aurora said.
"I'm letting the expert tell me myself," Jack said. Then Janet picked up the phone, "Hey, Janet, it's Colonel O' Neill. I'm at Aurora's house. She says she's not feeling so well. I just wanted to let you know to get things ready. I'll be dropping her off in about 15 minutes." Jack, then hung up and turned to Aurora, "Let's go, kid!"
"I'm not going!"
"Yes, you are. Now let's go!"
"No!" Aurora said. "I'm staying right here!"
Jack huffed and picked her up and carried her over his shoulder.
"Jack, you put me down this instance!" she screamed as he slammed the door behind him.
Jack threw her in his truck and drove off.
(SGC, Infirmary)
Dr. Fraiser walked into the Infirmary where Aurora and Jack had been waiting. Aurora crossed her arms and glared over at Jack. He merely glared back. Dr. Fraiser put down Aurora's chart on the bed next to them.
"I'm fine, right?" Aurora asked.
"Not exactly," Janet said.
"What's wrong?" Jack asked.
"Other than the high alcohol content in her blood stream, nothing, for the most part. But, there is something . . ."
"What?" Aurora asked.
Janet sighed. "Aurora is pregnant."
"Well, it looks Danny Boy left you a nice little parting gift," Jack said.
"In any case, I'd like for you come back in the next couple of days for a few more follow up tests and just to see how you're feeling," she continued.
"Okay," Aurora nodded.
(Aurora's Apartment)
Jack then brought her home. He made sure that she got inside safely.
"When are you going to tell the others and your team?" he asked. Closing the door behind him.
"Soon," she said. Aurora then kissed him on the cheek and then hugged him tightly. "Thanks."
"You're welcome, kiddo," Jack said softly. "Are you going to okay here by yourself?"
"Yeah," she released him. "I gotta say you're handling Daniel's Ascension a little too well."
"Well, I just keep reminding myself that Daniel really isn't dead," he told her.
She nodded, smiled and said, "I'll have to try that."
"SG-1 has a mission tomorrow," Jack said, changing the subject.
"Hammond wants to see why a Goa'uld Mothership is in Earths Orbit," she said.
"Yup,"
"I wish I was still with SG-1," she told him. "It's way more exciting then being with SG-6."
"Well, I gotta go," Jack said. "I'll see you when I see you."
"Bye,"
Jack left. Aurora looked around the apartment. It was a mess. She sighed, grabbed a trash can and started picking up the beer bottles and used tissues.
To be continued . . .
