We settle in on the couch, so look at each other, okay so I could never 'play dumb' very well.
And Janet can tell too... I am just waiting for her to call me on it.
"Sam, I think you know why."
I look down at my hands, yes I do know why.
I hope Pet feels like this is a good thing too.
"Sam, your test came back positive today, you're pregnant."
"I know Janet."
"So, are you excited?" She looked at me, I guess the shock is wearing off, "I mean you and Pete talked about this right?"
"No we haven't, but this is a natural thing, the next step."
"I am sure he is going to be thrilled Sam."
"I can't believe I am going to have a baby Janet."
Okay so the tears are welling up in my eyes, I am happy, I can't believe this is happening to me.
Finally.
"I'll have to mention this Monday at work, put it in your record. Most likely it will put SG-1 on downtime for a while, maybe through the whole pregnancy."
"The general..."
"He has to know Sam."
"I know, it's just that things are so strained, we barely talk...."
"I know, I heard."
"You heard?"
What did he actually talk to Janet? He talked to her and not me... why is this so hard?
"Yeah, he...um...came down to get some aspirin the other day, and asked he could have a word with me."
"And?"
"Sam, I can't tell you, I promised him..."
Yeah I kind of figured that.
"Daniel actually spoke to him too, which I thought was different, the General, he is usually much more silent, and keeps to himself more...I don't know..."
Okay so this is maybe bothering him more. I hope he doesn't do anything rash.
Rash?
Like anything over the past few months has been anything but rash for me.
But I am happy.
Change of subject time.
"So got any good details about you and Daniel?"
She looks at me surprised, like I would even ask that type of question...
Well not that surprised.
"Oh come on Janet, I mean I am practically a married woman, I have to live vicariously through you."
She reaches for her wine, the lucky dog, but I think I am even luckier at this point, and start to tell me of her night a few days ago before we went off world.
"So we started at this one restaurant, over looking the most beautiful lake I have ever scene, we had a window seat, candles, Sam it had to been one of the most romantic nights I have ever had."
Okay I have to get the name of the restaurant that he took her too, it sounds wonderful!
They ended up back at his apartment after a night of dinner and dancing.
Janet went into all sorts of details after a few glasses of wine, and even though I did expect it from Daniel, I just didn't 'see' it from him. Most likely because I never thought of him in 'that' way. But he is go gentle, so caring, he looks out and protects Janet, and for that I cannot fault him. It just makes me love him even more, in a brotherly way of course.
I am happy for them, just like I am happy about my little bit of news.
Maybe they will have their own little piece of news if it keeps going like it is, and Pete and I won't be the only ones.
Oh I have to tell Pete.
I hope he will be as excited as I am.
Janet asked to go out baby shopping with me on my next down time. I should be getting a lot more of that now, well Monday anyway.
I hope the General reacts in a good way.
It's almost like I have forgotten how to talk to him.
How life changes.
