PART 3 - Transfer Turned Down

After his shock he pulled her aside.

"I thought you said you were on the pill?"

"I was. When he found them, he threw them out. I have no where to keep them so I stopped taking them." she explained.

"Sam, you need to get out of the situation. This unborn child doesn't deserve to have a father like him. I really have to go, but I'll be back. Promise me you'll get out of the situation." she just nodded. The tears flowing freely.

They hugged once more and he walked up to General Hammond and Colonel O'Neill and shook their hands. Then walked up to the gate. When he was about to walk through the event horizon, he looked back at Sam and raised his eyebrow, once again asking the question. She reassured him with a small nod and a tight smile. After he walked through she turned to make a quick exit, but was stopped.

"Dr. Carter?"

"Yes, General?" she asked keeping her back towards him.

"My office. Five minutes."

She just nodded and walked out.

Five minutes later she was outside the Generals door. She finally knocked. "You wanted to see me, Sir?" she looked at the General, then let her gaze fall on the Colonel.

"Yes Doctor. You are a great asset to this base. Your knowledge about the gate and everything else that goes on around this base is important. Answer this question honestly. Are you happy just in your lab all day?"

"Most of the time."

"How would you like to go in the field?" Hammond asked.

"You mean through the gate regularly with a SG team?" she asked. Surprised that they were asking her.

"Yes, that is what I mean. You would be going out with SG-1. You would be going through the gate at least two times a week." Hammond informed her.

"Can I think about it for a while?" she asked him.

"Yes, you can." replied Hammond.

Jack finally spoke up, "This is your decision, Carter. Not his."

"What's that supposed to mean?" she asked, angry he said that.

"I'm just saying, don't let Hanson sway your decision." Jack replied calmly.

"Can I go back to my lab now, General?" she asked ignoring Jack.

"Yes. Think about it though." Hammond told her again.

"I will." Then she walked out. General Hammond and Jack exchanged a look and Jack slightly shook his head.

"You know he won't let her go through, Jack." Hammond said

"Well, we'll just have to convince her. Make it an order General, I don't care, but we need to get her out of that situation. No one deserves to be treated like that."

"Janet, what would happen if someone who was pregnant went through the Stargate? Would the child be harmed in any way?" As she took the vacant seat in Janet's office.

"I really can't say, Sam. We've never really come across that type of situation." After a moment it dawned on Janet what Sam was saying. "Oh my god. Your pregnant. I thought I gave you the pills."

"You did, but Jonas threw them out." Sam informed her.

"So it's his?"

"Not by choice." Sam replied.

"Your not having an affair, are you?"

"No. Never. It's just I'm not sure want his child. I don't even think he wants a kid."

"Okay. Well I'm going to say no gate travel just as a percussion."

"Thanks for everything, Janet. I'm sorry I didn't speak to you. I couldn't say it though."

"At least you talked to someone, right?" Janet asked.

"Yeah, my father. I have to go talk to the General."

"Sam," Janet started when Sam reached the door, "Why'd you want to know about gate travel?"

"General Hammond offered me a spot on SG-1." With that said she walked out of Janet's office.

Jonas would be back today. His two week mission was over. She didn't like the feeling she has in the pit of her stomach. She knew he didn't want children and although she never really thought about it, she was getting used to the idea.

The klaxons went off. She didn't move. Give it about two hours and he would be in here asking her a hundred questions. 'What did you do? Who were you with?' She was mentally going over what she was going to say. Her father's words came back to her. 'This child doesn't deserve a father like him.' She knew he was right. If she was honest with herself and thought about it, she really couldn't remember why she married him.
