A/N: Tiny bit of Angst and talk of wife beating but not in detail, only in passing.
Day 5'Janet please can I go home today? I really need to get some more clothes and my brother's arriving.' Sam asked, barely keeping the trace of annoyance out of her voice.
'I've already told you, No!' Janet told her. 'I've picked you up some larger clothes but if you did meet your brother, what are you going to tell him about your sudden pregnancy?'
'Well…if I took Daniel or Colonel O'Neill with me I could tell him its an experiment of team building if someone in a team happened to be handicapped' Carter told her slowly, talking as she thought of the very weak excuse. 'Besides what am I going to tell him if I don't show up? He has flow quite a distance. Please. I'm going crazy in here and I'm starting to run out of blood you can take.'
Laughing at this last comment, Janet finally caved. 'Fine, I probably do have enough of your blood to do every test possible. You aren't needed here anymore. However, you have to take someone with you.'
'Take who to where?' Jack asked from the entrance of the infirmary. Daniel stood directly behind him.
'Sam's brother is coming today to stay for a few days. So far the only plausible excuse we have for Sam's sudden pregnancy is that it's a team-building test to see how teams cope if a member is handicapped on a mission. Therefore someone needs to be with her to try and verify it.' The two women looked sheepish at their very weak excuse for an explanation.
'Well we could both go. We haven't got any plans.' Daniel volunteered himself and the Colonel.
'Good, you can also drive Sam home then. I drove her here yesterday.' Janet told the two men sternly before being called over to examine a burned Silar
'You don't have to do this you know, Mark does know about most things to do with the Air Force is classified.' Sam told them after Janet was out of earshot.
'Nonsense Carter, of course we'll do this. What care friends for?' O'Neill told her.
'Besides, Janet would probably give us the largest needle she possesses if we didn't stay with you.' Daniel added, causing the other two to smile.

Entering Sam's house, she gestured for the two men to go into the living room. 'Janet bought me some larger trousers today; I'll just be a minute. Make yourself at home.' She told them before disappearing into her bedroom.
'Do you think she has anything to eat here?' Jack commented to Daniel before the two of them went into her kitchen in search of food.
Opening her fridge, there were two large slabs of chocolate and a box of cereal. The two men shared a look
'Cereal in the fridge?!' Daniel asked.
Going to the next cupboard, they found it full of cat food while the rest of the cupboards were bare.
'Carter, do you actually have any food?' O'Neill asked as the Major entered the kitchen dressed in a pair of deep blue jeans that were slightly too big and another loose tee shirt.
Looking a little sheepish she answered. 'I'm rarely home for long so I either don't bother stocking up or I get long lasting food.'
'You mean like cereal and chocolate?' Daniel asked.
'Chocolates long lasting and the cereal I bought a few days ago for Marks arrival. I put it in the fridge so I'd be able to find it later.' Carter added guessing where the line of questioning was headed. However, before the two men could ask anything else about the Majors eating habits, the doorbell went.
'That'll be Mark.' She excused herself to go and answer it.
Opening the front door, she was greeted with the familiar sight of her brother.
'Mark, Hi!' she greeted him, giving him a hug, which he returned.
'Hi Sammy, good to see you again.' Mark told her as he brought his suitcase into her house.
'Err Hi, I'm Mark, Sam's brother.' He then introduced himself to Jack and Daniel who had come up behind Sam.
'Oh, Sir, Daniel, this is Mark, Mark this is Colonel Jack O'Neill and Dr. Daniel Jackson.' Carter introduced the three men before guiding them into the living room.
Before they managed to reach the room though, a bright light surrounded them and the next second they weren't in Sam's house anymore.
Dar walls and dim lights surrounded them in a very high tech looking ship.
'Thor?' O'Neill asked.
'Yes O'Neill, it is I who have brought you here' Thor told the stunned group as he turned his chair around.
'Wha…Wha What's happ...happening?' Mark asked terrified looking all around at the surroundings.
'Thor, you brought him!' O'Neill choked out.
'I am sorry but we had no choice. The Replicators are on board once more and our sensors were down. We knew you were together but Mark and Major Carters DNA was too similar in our weakened state for us to differentiate the two of them.' Thor explained.
'So in other words you couldn't tell us apart.' Carter clarified for O'Neill before going over to calm her brother down.
'Mark, its okay, were…in outer space with a friend of ours, Thor.' Carter explained as simply as she could.
'This doesn't have anything to do with your 'Deep Space Radar' cover up does it?' Mark asked, as little calmer now that his sister was with him.
Sam nodded.
'Look, basically, we explore outer space using a device called the Stargate. On one of these trips we met the Asgaurd, Thor's race, and they became our allies against a few enemies, such as these Replicators.' O'Neill told him simply.
Sort of understanding, Mark accepted the explanation. 'What are Replicators?' he asked.
'Mechanical bugs that devour advanced technology. That's why Thor's race is in trouble.' Daniel explained.
'That is correct Daniel Jackson.' Thor confirmed.
'Do you have any of our stuff? cos if we're going to get rid of them we're going to need some equipment.' O'Neill asked.
'I have already done so O'Neill, all you should need is in that room over there.' Thor told the group indicating to the door located on one of the sides' room they were in. 'However O'Neill, they have grown smarter and managed to commandeer another one of our vessels and are making their way to your Alpha site. We do not have the simple technology you possess to stop them which is why I have once more brought you here.' Thor added.
'Thanks Thor. Okay people, lets mount up.' O'Neill instructed. After each receiving their weapons, the team began to discuss strategies while Thor went and left them in peace.
'We could use the same tactics as before Sir, we lure them into the atmosphere and blow up the ship.' Carter suggested.
'Wait a minute, didn't Thor say they learnt from previous tactics. If they saw us on board they may try to kill us before trying to enter the atmosphere.' Daniel contradicted.
'Okay, so any more ideas?' O'Neill asked, then noticing the surprised expression on his 2IC he added 'Carter?'
'It's nothing Sir, I think it just kicked, that's all.' She replied.
'Wait, your pregnant!' Mark exclaimed.
'Ooops, busted, Janet's going to kill us!' Jack commented to no one in particular.
'Yes I am, although you aren't strictly allowed to know.' Sam told him.
'Sam, you can't get pregnant, I was there when the doctors told you!' Mark added, surprising everyone else in the room.
'I was pregnant before, when I was with Jonas, but when he found out he wasn't too happy. He said he wanted me to get an abortion but I refused, so he decided to beat the child out of me. I lost the child and the damage he caused left me unable to have kids. That was when I gave him the ring back' Carter explained to the two men who were trying unsuccessfully to keep the curiosity out of their eyes.
'He did what!' Daniel exclaimed, the furious expression mirrored on Jacks face.
'Don't worry, he got quite a good beating from Mark about that and he's dead now.' Carter told them, causing them to relax considerably when they found out Mark had given him what he deserved.
'But Sir, now that we've gotten sidetracked, what are we going to do about the Replicators?' Carter then asked realising time was running out.
'Well, we're all going to need sleep, so two of us stay awake and plan while two sleep. We then record our ideas and the next two listen to them and add or change the ideas recording their own views. We then work in one-person shifts and by morning we should have a plan' O'Neill told the group.
'Sounds like a plan.' Mark commented.
'Major, you and Daniel take the first rest, Mark and I'll take the first brainstorming.' The Colonel instructed.
'You do realise Sir that Mark isn't a scientist?' Carter asked him.
'Exactly Carter.' Her CO replied, causing the other members of SG1 to smile. Mark just looked puzzled.
'He doesn't want the scientist in us to come out since he doesn't follow what we say unless it's in very simple terms! Good luck' Daniel explained, before he and Sam headed to the room the equipment had been in to sleep on some jackets that had been brought up.
