Sam tossed and turned unable to sleep feeling guilty for leaving baby Jacob
in the infirmary while she hand returned home for the night. She knew the
nurses would take good care of him but that didn't ease the guilt any.
After giving Jack a full formal debriefing of what happened on baby Jacob's planet and providing the gate address he requested that a team be sent to give the people a proper burial, which Jack had decided to leave the decision up to Hammond on, had departed heading back to join the Tok'ra.
Sam tossed some more before prodding Jack in the back, when this didn't receive a response she tried the ribs.
"What?" Jack groaned half asleep.
"I need to talk to you about something."
"Is the world ending?" He muttered into his pillow.
"No."
"The Goa'uld about to attack?"
"No."
"We're being burgled?"
"No, nothing like that."
"Then can't it wait until morning. I was asleep."
"No." Sam replied.
"What is it?" He turned to look at her, still half asleep.
"It's about Jacob."
"Your Dad is back with the Tok'ra, you can call him tomorrow if you need to talk to him."
"No about baby Jacob."
"What about him?"
"I want to keep him."
"Huh?"
"I want to keep him."
"Sam, he's not a lost puppy, you just don't claim him."
"Jack..."
"I told you not to get attached." Jack reminded her.
"I was already attached."
"Sam it's not that simple, Hammond is going to arrange good parents for him, with good security clearance in case he gains any odd powers."
"We have good security clearance." Sam pointed out.
"We're also on the premier field team. You can't leave a kid with a sitter for unknown periods of time. You have to be practical. Besides which our jobs are dangerous, we don't make good prospective parents."
"So I won't be on a field team anymore." Sam shrugged. "I'll stay in the lab."
"You're willing to give up everything you've worked for the last ten years to stay in the lab. You love being in the field, meeting new people, finding new doohickeys, making sure we don't get hurt."
"Priorities change. I've been thinking about having kids more the last few weeks. What by miracles of all miracles I got pregnant tomorrow?"
"Then we'd have nine months to figure something out." Jack pointed out. "This is more honey I decided I wanted to adopt a kid today."
"Jack...."
"Sam, it's 0300 I'm exhausted can we talk about this in the morning?"
"Fine." She huffed and rolled over onto her side.
"Sam, don't be mad. This just isn't the time to talk about this." She didn't say anything. "Goodnight." Jack put his head on the pillow and tried to go back to sleep.
