"What is it?" Sam asked. Jacob pulled back the blanket; Sam glanced at it
then at Jacob. "Dad, that's not an it, that's a baby."
"I kind of noticed that." Jacob said. "From what we can tell he's in perfect health. He doesn't have any naqquadah in his system, but Tok'ra don't have kids and definitely not babies so I thought he would be better off on Earth."
"What've we got Major?" Jack asked from the control room.
"Colonel, I think it would be better if we took this to the infirmary." Sam said heading for the exit.
"Okay. Stand down." He instructed the SF's. "I'll be in the infirmary.
"Janet." Sam called as they entered the infirmary. Jack hadn't yet asked what was in the blanket.
"Sam... Oh hi Jacob."
"I need you to take a look at him." Sam said.
"Jacob where are you injured?" Janet asked.
"Not me." Jacob said. "Him." Sam laid the blanket carefully on the bed and pulled the blanket back.
"Jacob, that's a baby." Jack said.
"You're an observant guy."
"Hey precious." Janet said to the baby who was asleep.
"We ran some tests on him, there doesn't appear to be anything wrong with him. He has no naqquadah in his system."
"So why do the Tok'ra have a baby?" Janet inquired.
"All the people on his planet were wiped out by the Goa'uld, the only reason he survived is because he was hidden in a small underground room and when his mother had been hit with the staff weapon she'd fallen over the entrance."
"No one else survived." Janet asked as she huffed on stethoscope to warm it up.
"No." Jacob said.
"Jake, why didn't you tell me you were bringing a baby here. You made it sound like something of scientific interest."
"How would you have reacted if I had told you Jack?"
"Well I would have called Washington and got permission." Jack said.
"Jack, don't raise your voice, you'll wake him up." Sam said.
"Sorry. Doc, find out if he's going to start ticking, Jake come with me, we're going to call Hammond, Sam stay and observe."
"He's heart beat is fine." Janet said. "Sam, do you sense anything?"
"No." Sam said.
"We'll run a blood test to check for anything else. But for now he's going to need a name."
"How about Jacob since Dad found him?" Sam suggested.
"Works for me." Janet said. "I'll go and get a smaller."
While Janet was gone a call went out for Daniel and Teal'c to report to the infirmary which woke baby Jacob up.
"It's okay sweetheart." Sam said picking him up and held him against her shoulder. "Shush, it's okay sweetheart. Shuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuush." He settled slightly.
"You're a natural with him." Janet said coming back in.
"Umm, I've been thinking about it more lately, having kids. It would be nice, but..."
"Do you want me to schedule you for the tests we've been putting off?" Janet asked.
"I don't know. This job is a big responsibility and I work long hours and it's dangerous, but I think it would be all worth it."
"I know my job isn't as dangerous or quiet so long hours but I wouldn't be without Cass, she keeps me grounded."
"Umm." Sam said.
"Let's get this blood test done." Janet said. Sam laid baby Jacob back down so Janet could draw the blood.
"How old do you think he is?" Sam asked.
"About four months." Janet replied. "All done." The baby was crying again, so Sam picked him back up.
"Sam why are you holding a baby?" Daniel asked as he and Teal'c came into the infirmary.
"Because he was a little upset that Janet stuck a needle in his arm." Sam replied, obviously they wanted more of an explanation. "Dad found him on a planet the Goa'uld had wiped out, it's only by pure chance that he wasn't killed too. Dad thought he would be better off on Earth."
"Does this child have a name?" Teal'c asked.
"We're calling him Jacob." Sam replied.
"Where is Jack?" Daniel asked.
"On the phone to General Hammond with my Dad." She replied. Janet who had been scribbling on a note pad looked up.
"Gentlemen I have an assignment for you." Janet said. "Jacob's going to need some things; we can make do for a little while but not for long." She handed Daniel the list she had made. "Go into town and see if you can get these things. Bring me back a receipt and I'll have accounting cut you a cheque as a medical expense."
"Okay." Daniel said.
