Chapter 5: The Call

Jack was in his office when he heard a little whisper on the stone. "Daddy, daddy, can you here me?" Sara asked. Jack picked up the stone.

"I'm here, honey," he assured.

"Daddy, can you come back here?"

"I wish I could, but I can't."

"Daddy, it's mommy."

"What's wrong with mommy?"

"She's having a baby. Please come back here."

"I'll try, angel."

Jack put the stone down and got up. Daniel then came into the room. "Jack, are you all right?" He asked.

"Daniel, keep an eye out on the base for me. I'm going to see the Tok'ra," Jack replied.

"Jack, you just saw them."

"It's been nine months. Do you know why they have a time period of nine months?"

"Oh, then I will keep an eye out for the base. Tell me if it is a boy or a girl."

Jack nodded and had the gate dialed out. "Congratulations, General," Major Thomas commented. Jack nodded before walking through the gate.

When he came to the other side, he heard a scream that could wake the dead. "You're going to have to push, Sam, push," he heard someone demand. Sam was screaming as loud as she could.

"Yep, that's my Sam," he commented.

"DADDY!" Sara exclaimed.

Jack smiled and scooped her up into his arms. "How's mommy doing, angel?" He asked.

"Anise and grandpa are helping her," she replied.

"I'm sure they are."

Jack placed Sara on the floor and walked into the room. "Jack!" Sam gasped. Jack walked over and held onto her hand.

"I'm here, Sam," he whispered.

Sam nodded and let out another scream. Jacob could see tat Jack was very helpful towards his daughter. "Jacob, where are the girls?" Anise asked. Jacob got up and went to get them while Jack took care of her. "You're doing fine, Samantha," she commented.

"Really, I could hardly tell," Sam said sarcastically.

Jack rolled his eyes while wincing in pain as she crushed his hands. "Push," Anise urged.

"I'm trying," Sam hissed in pain.

An hour passed and then they heard a baby's wail. "Congratulations, Jack, Samantha, it's a boy," Anise announced. Jack helped Sam to sit up and they took the baby into her arms. Sam smiled at Jack as he looked at the babe.

"The baby is beautiful, you must be proud," Anise commented.

Sam nodded and looked at Jack. "What should we name him?" She asked. Jack thought about some names.

"What about Daniel?" He asked.

Sam nodded with a smile. "Daniel will love to know that he has a namesake," she whispered. Jack nodded and smiled at his son. He had another chance to raise a son.

"Uh...may I?" He asked.

Sam nodded and let him take the infant into his arms. "Hi there, Danny, I'm your dad," he whispered. The baby's hand reached up and grabbed the tip of his finger. Danny's eyes opened up and Jack smiled to see that they were blue like his mother's eyes. The baby let out a little gurgle and yawned. Anise then came in.

"General O'Neill, Teal'c is here," she announced.

Jack looked up when Teal'c entered the room. "Teal'c what is it?" He asked.

"There is nothing wrong, O'Neill, I just came to congratulate you on the birth of your child," Teal'c replied.

Jack smiled and then he held up his son. "Teal'c we would like you to meet Daniel Jack O'Neill," Jack informed. Teal'c smile at the child.

"He must be a strong boy, you must be very proud to have such a boy," Teal'c commented.

Sam nodded with a smile. Jack placed Danny back into Sam's arms and followed Teal'c outside.

"There's something wrong, Teal'c I know it," Jack insisted. Teal'c knew he couldn't lie to his friend.

"It is Daniel Jackson, he and team members of SG-12 went through the gate. Nefertem has taken Daniel Jackson captive," he explained.

Jack leaned back against the wall in anger. "Damn it, I told Daniel to stay on the base," Jack snapped.

"You must not go back to the SGC or after Daniel Jackson, if you do, Nefertem will torture you until you give him what he wants. You know what he wants O'Neill, he wants Dr. O'Neill. Stay where you are, O'Neill," Teal'c demanded.

"What about Daniel? Should I just let him die? I already lost one Daniel, I won't lose another one," Jack snapped.

He walked into the room and saw that Sam knew. "You're leaving," she murmured.

"Daniel's in trouble. I have to go," he replied.

He pulled on his stuff and sighed as he looked at Sam. "Sam, I have to go, Daniel's in danger," Jack explained.

"Jack, you just became a father. What if you die trying to save Daniel?" She asked.

Jack walked over and gave his wife a gentle kiss. "I'll be back, I promise," he vowed. He placed a kiss on the top of Danny's soft head.

"Daddy," Sara whimpered.

Jack picked Sara up with a sigh. "I'll be back soon, angel, I promise," he whispered. Sara wrapped her arms around his neck.

"I love you, daddy," she whispered.

"I love you too, angel," he answered.

He kissed her forehead before hugging Grace. The Stargate was activated and Jack went through.
