AN: Please don't kill me sorry it took me this long to update! Of course
I'd just like to thank my beta, Drak, who without I couldn't get my
language straight. And of course Katchu who I run basically all my ideas
by. If you wish for any information on Jesse please consult my profile in
which there are stories listed and posted that explain Jesse's story.
Chapter 2
"Come on Jessica." Jonas said.
"The mess you made better be clean Jonas." Jesse said.
"It is." He said. He was right. Jesse's apartment was spotless.
"Oh good." She said. "I'm going back to sleep." She began her walk to her bedroom.
"Wait." He said and put his hands over her eyes.
"Jonas."
He didn't say anything just guided her toward the spare room she never used. "Close your eyes." He said and opened the door. After he turned on the lights she opened her eyes. She smiled when she saw the image in front of her. The room was exploding in pink. From the crib to the wall was all pink. It was the most beautiful thing Jesse had ever seen.
"Jonas...I don't know what to say...thank you so much."
"Well, she's my daughter too."
"I love it and I love you." Jesse said wrapping her arms around his neck.
"I love you too." He said and kissed her.
"I still think Anna is a very good name." said Jesse.
Jonas looked up from his dinner and said "Wait I thought we'd already decide her name was Heather Jane."
"O'Neill-Quinn but I still like Anna."
"And I still like Hannah but that doesn't mean our decision is going to change right?"
"Right"
"Anymore pointless arguments?"
"No not now anyway." Jesse said. Slowly, her face got tense and sad. She looked pensive. Jonas began to worry.
"Something wrong?" he asked.
"No." Jesse said softly patting her stomach. "Everything's fine."
"Something's wrong is it the baby? Are you okay?"
"No we're fine."
"Jessica."
"I had a day mare today."
"Day mare?"
"Well it's the only word for it. It wasn't at night and it wasn't a dream."
"What happened?"
"That's not important. I'm a bit spooked. There's nothing wrong."
"You sure"
"Yeah I'm sure..."
"Everything is going as planned, sir."
"Good, soon we'll have what we need."
"How much longer, sir?"
"Another month, maybe less we have to see how strong it truly is."
"Yes, sir"
"You're dismissed."
Jonas departure was getting to be a common thing in Jesse's life. It didn't hurt any less or make her miss him any less but it was a little bearable when caught in normalcy. Jonas would be gone for the rest of Jesse's pregnancy.
She really shouldn't be at the SGC for long. If Dr. Frasier caught her working with the elevated blood pressure levels she'd be dead.
"Hey mom" Jesse said as she entered Sam's lab.
"Hello Jesse, How are you feeling?"
"Not you too every time I enter a room someone feels the need to ask me how I feel."
"Well, you know we want to be extra careful since you know." Jesse knew exactly what her mom was talking about. Three weeks before Jesse had woken up in the middle of the night in pain. If it hadn't been for Dr. Frasier's quick work the baby might not have made it.
Sighing Jesse said, "I know that everyone cares but even before that people were treating me like a piece of glass especially Jonas."
"Well he is going to be the dad."
"I know and he has every right to worry. He was a wreck the night I was in pain but still if I was in pain or uncomfortable the people closes to me would be the first to know. I'm not stupid mom I wouldn't risk my child and I'm not sure if anyone realizes how important this is to me. "
Sam moved her eyes from her computer and on her daughter. She gently grabbed Jesse's chin and lifted it up. "We know that you wouldn't ever do anything that hurts the baby. But sometimes we think if we don't ask we won't know." Jesse stayed silent. "Like what's brothering you now."
"Everyone won't stop-"
"We both know that not what it is. Jess..." she pulled her hand away from her daughter's face and stood up. She knew to get Jesse to tell her what was wrong then she would have to use her status as her mother against Jesse. That with the fact that Sam was considerably taller than Jesse.
"What's wrong Jesse?"
"Nothing."
"Jessica."
"I'm fine."
"Something brothering you."
"No its nothing."
"But there's something."
"I said its nothing."
"It has to be something."
"It's not important."
"Jesse..."
"You wouldn't want to know." As soon as it came out Jesse knew she has given away the fact that it was something. It was a method Sam had used on her often when trying to figure out things about Jesse's life in the alternate universe. Jesse didn't know where she had learned it but she was good at it. "You're good at that. Aren't you scared you're stressing me out?"
"I think whatever you're hiding is stressing you out more." She was right and Jesse knew it but she could still deny it. Jesse knew her mother wouldn't let her leave with without telling her.
"I've been having visions or nightmare I don't know."
"Or?" Usually Jesse had no problem seeing the difference between a vision or a nightmare or dream.
"Yeah, it's getting worst every time I dream or have a vision. I don't know if they are visions are if everything I see is a dream...or rather a nightmare..." Jesse trailed off her voice had gotten small.
"Jesse, what did you see?"
There were unshed tears behind her eyes when she looked up at her mother. Ever since she got pregnant she couldn't see to hold back her emotions like usual. In a voice that was barely a whisper she said, "My baby was dead. She was on the table...gone."
She couldn't hold it back anymore. She just did one heart-wreaking sob after another. Sam was helpless in the situation. Jesse had lost the ability to tell the difference between a dream and a vision and she saw her child dead.
Anyone would be troubled. Jesse sobs ended quickly and she looked at her mother. Her eyes showed the pain and tears so she turned away.
"But its stupid right?" Jesse said. "It's just a nightmare. Brought on by the stress, right?"
Sam gave her daughter a weak smile and ran her fingers once through her dark long brown hair. "Yeah, that's all." She put her daughter in a hug.
