'Carter shouldn't you be in the infirmary?' Colonel O'Neill asked as he interrupted Sam's train of thought.

Looking up at her CO who was standing in the doorway she answered 'I've been stuck in there for the past two days, if I have to spend one more minute in there I'll go crazy!'

Giving her a sceptical look, he retorted 'Your eight months pregnant, you have fainting spells, you are light headed most of the time,you become out of breath walking up two steps, taking the strongest painkillers old Doc Frasier had in her cabinet and your alone in your lab!'

'So what's your point Sir?' Carter asked as innocently as she could.

'Oh I don't know either go back to the infirmary or tell someone you're here so they can watch you, does Janet even know you're here?'

'She wasn't in the infirmary when I left, but I'm guessing she knows now.' Sam replied guiltily, O'Neill sighed in despair.

'Jack have you seen Sam anywhere? Janet's sent us out looking for her.' Daniels voice asked from behind the Colonel.

Without answering he simply stepped to the side revealing the runaway Major.

'Oh, Hey Sam!' Daniel told her cheerfully seconds before Janet turned up outside the lab.

'Sam, there you are! I've been looking everywhere for you; although I suppose I should have looked here first!' Janet exclaimed when she saw her missing Major. Sam just gave a guilty shrug at the comment. 'I need you to come to the infirmary, Mark and your Father are both there to see you and I have a surprise for you!'

'So they've finished arguing out their differences then!' Sam commented to no one in particular as she struggled to her feet.

'I think so!' Janet replied with a grin.

Upon arriving at the infirmary, Sam as instantly greeted with the sight of her father and brother quietly talking on a bed waiting for the Major.

'Sam!' Mark cried out as he saw her. Jacob also stood but nodded his head in greeting before speaking.

'Hello Samantha Carter.' Selmak greeted her.

'Selmak, good to see you again.' Sam replied not at all surprised Mark knew of Selmak after the discussion the three of them had had over the last few hours in their catch up session.

'I'm very sorry Sam but we must go. Jacob would have told you himself but he said it was my fault we have to leave now so I must say it' Selmak told her before being interrupted by Jacob.

'I never said it as your fault exactly but if you hadn't forgotten to give the information to the other operative we wouldn't have to go!'

Sam and Mark smiled at this exchange along with the rest of SG1 and Dr Frasier.

The goodbyes were brief but Jacob promised to be soon to visit his children and grandchildren.

The two remaining Carters sat down on the bed facing the others. 'So what was the surprise?' Sam asked remembering there was another reason she'd come down to the infirmary.

'Don't you mean who? Cassie!' Janet asked then called out for her adopted daughter to come out of her office. The 14 year old grinned as she came out of the office and went over to hug her friend.

'Cassie! Sorry I haven't seen you for a few weeks, you've grown loads!' the Major told the young girl.

'That's okay Sam, I know you've been busy and pregnant and other stuff! Hey Jack, Daniel, Teal'c!' Cassandra greeted them in turn.

'This is my brother Mark, Mark this is a very good friend of mine and Janet's daughter Cassandra.' Carter introduced them.

'Nice to meet you Cassandra.' Mark told her as he shook her hand. After the greetings, Cassie turned back to Sam before speaking.

'So are you ready to go?' She asked curiously.

'Go where?' The Major asked not sure what the girl was asking, giving a puzzled look to the other adults in the room.

'Ooops!' was all Cassie could say.

'Don't worry, I was just about to tell her anyway.' Janet reassured her daughter.

'Tell me what?'

'The third reason I got you here was because we have the transport ready to take you to the hospital to get you settled in before tomorrow.' Janet explained.

'What! She isn't having it here?' O'Neill asked surprised.

'I don't have the training or facilities to allow it and I don't know of any midwives with the right level of clearance to get into the base.' Dr. Frasier told them.

Nodding in agreement with the arrangements, Carter asked when she was leaving.

'Now' came Janet's swift reply as she helped Carter to her feet and handed over her small bag of night things Sam had brought in for her stay in the infirmary.

'So what are you going to call it?' Cassie asked as she sat on Sam's bed in the hospital.

'I don't know, haven't really thought about it.' Carter replied.

All of the men had left a few moments earlier to grab some lunch from the shop in the hospital allowing Carter and Cassie to continue their game of chess in peace.

'Lets come up with some names then!' Cassie suggested as Sam once again check mated her with a grin.

'Okay, lets start with if it's a girl.'

'Cassandra, although it may get a little confusing!' came the first suggestion.

'Janet, but there's still the same problem.'

'Jacqueline!'

'Danielle!' Sam said in between their giggle at the thought of calling the child after her team.

'Maureen!' Cassie added, using Teal'c's Earth nickname of Murray in the feminine context. At this they had to stop to get their breath back.

'Something we want to share with the class?' O'Neill's voice came from the door.

Looking over, they saw the rest of SG-1 and Mark standing in the doorway with sandwiches and drinks in their hands and curious expressions on their faces.

The two women looked at each other, trying to keep the smiles off their faces as they shook their heads.

Shrugging his shoulders, O'Neill came in first with the two women's sandwiches while Daniel carried the drinks.

'Okay, tuna for you Cassie and tomato, chicken, grapefruit, kiwi and chocolate for you Carter. I think these people are used to strange orders! All I got when I asked for it was raised eyebrows.' Jack told them as he handed out the sandwiches.

'I can't believe your actually going to eat it!' Daniel commented as he placed down the bottles and sat down on the bed opposite with Mark while the colonel and Teal'c sat on the other chairs in the room. All of them winced in disgust as she ate it.

'So what are you going to call it?' Daniel finally asked as they all finished eating. Cassie and Sam just smiled; there was no way they were going to tell what they had been talking about earlier!
