Author note: Here we are, hope you like it. As usual thank you to Cathain (Cathain Nottingham) and Amy (Liechtensteinerin) for their help, and apologies to Kat, who only read the first version of chap3 where the baby's called Katherine –yes she was name after you but it was only a temporary name – sorry.
It had been four days since SG-1 had arrived home and Janet Fraiser sat in her office in the quiet infirmary. It was the first time it had been quiet since they'd been back, she'd finally been able to get the other members of SG-1 to leave, well most of them; Colonel O'Neill still remained, asleep in the chair next to Sam's bed and Carmen was lying fast asleep in the cot next to her exhausted mother. Janet smiled and looked up from her computer and over at Sam, she was asleep, her face was a picture of peace and contentment
'Finally,' Janet thought to herself, 'Maybe now she'll get some rest.'
She was worried about Sam, while her body seemed to be recovering from its ordeal fairly well; her mind was definitely not in its normal state. At night it was usually the worst, she frequently awoke screaming, and when she did sleep she tossed and turned in the bed. Janet had other worries about Carmen too; she was concerned about the effects the increased growth rate had had on her.
She turned back to the computer to concentrate on what she was doing. She was trying to reference Carmen's DNA against Sam's in attempt to see the similarities and if any data had been lost in the speeding up of growth.
"Dammit." She said aloud as she clicked on the wrong button, these new computers were giving her nightmares, the system had been updated a few days ago and she couldn't make head nor tail of what she was doing. She'd been promised a technician to explain the new layout but so far one hadn't turned up. Now the computer was doing some random thing and wouldn't let her click on anything, she was about to pick up the phone to see if a technician was finally available when a scream from the next room stopped her in her tracks.
"Sam?" She called as she hurried to the side of her bed, Colonel O'Neill was already awake and at her side.
"Sam?" He shook her shoulders gently, "Wake up, its okay, it's only a dream."
Sam's eyes snapped open; full of fear and pain, "Hey," Janet said softly, "We're here."
"Oh God, sorry I didn't mean to disturb you," She said trembling.
"Was it another dream?" The doctor pressed quietly.
"Yeah." She put her head in her hands, "Sorry I didn't, didn't realise I was shouting, I..."
"Hey," O'Neill interrupted her with a hand on hers, "its okay, that's why we're here remember? Don't worry we were awake anyway." He lied, "And Carmen's still fast asleep."
"Good." Sam gave a sad smile.
"Now go back to sleep," He said gently, nodding at the doctor he said, "It's okay Doc, I'll watch her."
"Thanks Colonel." Janet smiled and turned back to her office, glad she'd allowed Colonel O'Neill to stay tonight, he'd complained so loudly when she'd insisted he'd leave that she'd decided she'd get more peace if he stayed.
Returning to her desk, she turned back to the computer, hoping whatever it had been doing had stopped. It had, she moved the mouse to the escape icon and was about to click when she frowned, 'What? That can't be right.' On the screen, the sentence flashed in front of her 'cross referencing completed, 2 matches found', below were two more links;
'Major Samantha Carter'
'Colonel Jonathon O'Neill'
"Why's that come up?" She murmured to herself, clicking on the back button to see what it was she'd clicked on. "Ah ha." She said quietly, "Well Janet you can't blame the computer, it was your own slip of the hand that buggered that one up."
She'd unintentionally clicked on the tab marked 'Cross reference data with entire database' rather than the tab 'Cross reference data with specified data'. She'd meant to compare Carmen's genetic data with Sam's, but instead she'd..."Compared it with the whole of the SGC..." She said slowly aloud realising the implications of what had just happened.
"What's that Doc?" Colonel O'Neill called from the other room.
"Nothing Colonel, its okay."
"Okay, just, you were talking to yourself," he said quieter
Janet clicked the button again and the same results came up 'Jonathon O'Neill' she read clearly before clicking to look at the specific details...

"Major Carter," Teal'c said as a way of greeting as he entered the infirmary, "It is good to see you awake."
"Thanks Teal'c, for once I'm actually headache free."
"Indeed." Teal'c offered her the bouquet of flowers he held in his hands, "Daniel Jackson informed me it is customary to give flowers when one is ill." He gave a slight smile.
"Thank you Teal'c, they're beautiful."
Teal'c gave a slow nod of his head, "Has Colonel O'Neill already left?" He inquired.
"Yeah, he has a meeting with Hammond or something, don't think it's going to last very long."
"Very well I will attempt to locate him, Daniel Jackson sends his best wishes and we will be along later this afternoon."
"Teal'c," Janet interrupted, "I was just thinking you should come and see me."
"I am here to see Major Carter." Teal'c informed her.
"Yeah I know, but why not kill two birds with one stone?"
Teal'c looked at her in confusion, and then glanced at Sam for an explanation, Sam shook her head laughing, "Never mind." She said quietly.
"Teal'c can you come over here so I can give you a check-up?" Janet called. Before SG-1 had left for P3X295 four months ago Teal'c had contracted an infection, without a symbiote it had left him severally ill for several weeks, such that he was unable to accompany SG-1 through the Stargate. Although he was now fully recovered, Janet insisted on monitoring his vitals regularly in an attempt to avoid a similar situation.

"Sam," Janet said softly as she brought some breakfast to her patient, Teal'c had left a few minutes before for a debriefing and there was no one else in the infirmary, "There's something I have to tell you."
"What?" Sam's eyes grew wide with fear, her hand rushing protectively to her daughter, "What's wrong?"
"Nothing's wrong, don't worry she's fine, it's..." She paused, she wasn't sure how Sam would take this latest revelation, she didn't want to cause her unnecessary stress – but she had to know.
"I was running some tests on Carmen, recording her information and comparing her statistics with yours – just to see if there were any potential side effects to the alterations Anzar made,"
"And were there?"
"No, well none that I could see, but it's not that...I was cross referencing your DNA and I accidentally compared her DNA with all my records rather than just yours."
"Accidentally?"
"Yes, it's these new systems, I've still not got used to the layout."
"Tell me about it, General Hammond won't even let me look at a computer till I'm out of here."
"Sam," Janet interrupted, "The search came back with two matches."
"Two?"
"Yes yours...and Colonel O'Neill's"
"The Colonel's?"
"Yes."
"That doesn't make sense, why would his records come up unless..." She looked up at Janet, realisation on her face.
"Unless there was a match in their DNA..." Janet finished for her.
End of Chapter 4
A/N: Well that was exciting, though don't tell me you didn't see it coming – this is a Sam/Jack fic after all. Please review and let me know what you think (
