A/N: Sorry it took so long to update. I have four or five chapter written so far and they'll show up over the next few days. My computer crashed so I have to get over to my boyfriends house to use his. Thanks so much for the wonderful reviews and I'm glad it finally made it across the sea :D

Part 8

"Well you are pregnant."

Sam just looked down at her clasped hands in her lap and shook her head.

"I have to go." she mumbled.

"Are you going to tell him?"

"First I'm telling him my age. Based on that reaction, I'll tell him this."

"Okay, well speaking as a doctor now, whatever happens I want you on bed rest. I don't want you to do anything unnecessary."

"Why? Is there something wrong?"

"No. Your sugar was just a little low. I just want you to eat and rest. Remember, you're eating for two now."

"Can I go?"

"Yes. Good luck."

"Luck isn't what I need." Sam said, leaving the room

"It's good to have anyway." Janet replied to the empty room.

Later that day

Sam and Jack were sitting on the sofa. They sat in silence for a little while until Jack spoke.

"So what do you need to speak with me that was so important?"

"I need to tell you something and afterwards if you hate me I'll completely understand." She stood up and started pacing. Jack let her pace for a few minutes before he stood in her path.

"Sam, you know you can tell me anything."

"I'm seve-" She was cut off by the doorbell.

"Hold that thought, okay. I'll get rid of whoever is at the door and we'll finish this." At her silent nod he went to answer the door. "General." he said, shocked as he opened the door.

"At ease. I just came by to get someone I know." Jacob Carter said looking Jack in the eye. "Mind if I come in?"

"Yes, actually. I was just in the middle of…" Jack trailed off when Jacob walked past him into his house. Jack was half a step behind him and almost bumped into Jacob when he came to a stop.

"Samantha, get in the car now." Jacob barked.

"Dad?"

"I think Sam can make her own decision." They replied at the same time.

"Not when she's my daughter and living under my roof."

"Dad? Daughter?"

Jacob ignored Jack's confusion and looked him straight in the eye. "Are you sleeping with my daughter, Major?"

"We never slept together, dad. We're just friends. I was teaching him how to keep a poker face."

"I didn't ask you Sam." Jacob said briefly looking at her.

"I will ask again, Major." Jack caught Sam's eye for a second and seen her lip the word 'lie'.

"No I haven't sir." Jack seen Sam let out a silent breath.

"That's good because you wouldn't want a note in your file saying you slept with a General's 17 year old daughter."

"Seventeen? You're only seventeen?" Jack directed his question towards Sam.

"I didn't think it was relevant considering I was only teaching you how to have a poker face."

Jack realized she was trying to protect so he played along. "Well I just thought you were older since you were on a military base and seemed mature."

"We'll be leaving now, Major."

"Goodbye, sir."

Jack tried to catch Sam's eye, but she wouldn't look at him. He stood in the doorway of the house when they walked to the car. When Sam was getting into the passenger seat she looked up at him and mouthed 'sorry' then again broke eye contact, getting into the car.
