Sam and Janet made their way to the gate room, firstly, Daniel staggered through the gate with Teal'c, and neither was injured but came through looking like they were shooting as they came through. They were quickly followed by a running Jack who to Sam's relief was also unscathed. Before the iris was closed a staff blast came through the gate hitting Jack squarely in the back. Sam screamed and ran to him.
"Jack Baby, stay with me." She was immediately joined by Janet a medics, everything began to wash over and just before she blacked out she was aware of a dull but prominent pain in her stomach.
"Okay people get another gurney in here" Janet yelled with the mayhem in the gate room, she was starting to freak out too, the other medics wheeled Jack towards the infirmary Janet began on trying to wake Sam.
Janet wheeled Jack out of surgery and put him in a bed. The other medics had been unable to wake up Sam so and they were changing her into a hospital gown as Janet was coming out of surgery.
"Uh, ma'am." one of the nurses said to attract Janet's attention
"Yes, what is it?" She asked.
"The Major had dilated 5 cm."
"What? She's…" Janet trailed off
"Yes ma'am"
"Oh my, try and wake her up, I'll prep the equipment" Said Janet running to get what she needed silently she prayed Sam would wake up in time. Sam woke an hour later, screaming in pain. "Shhhhh Sam, it's ok."
"Jack." she panted, "Where's Jack?"
"Sam?" They heard him call, Janet ran to where he was. "What's happening? What's wrong?" he said urgently.
"She went into premature labour when she saw you get shot."
"What? Can I see her?"
"Not with your back like that, I don't want you rolling over."
"Just take me over in the bed. I have to see her." Janet heard the desperation in his voice and understood that he wanted to see the birth of his child, she sighed.
"Ok" and wheeled his bed over to rest next to Sam's.
"Sammie?" he asked.
"Jack"
"I'm right here baby," he said, she cried out as another contraction hit her, he put out his hand and held onto hers tightly "Don't worry"
"It's time to deliver now Sam," said Janet Sam nodded shakily and held onto Jack's hand as she pushed
5 mins later
"I can't do it, it hurts too much."
"Come on Sam you're almost there." Janet encouraged.
"I just need to rest." Said Sam laying back on the pillows
"No, you can't you are almost there. I need you to push once more when the next contraction comes around."
"I can't."
"Yes you can." Jack came in "I'll be right here, just think, we can hold her in a minute, or at least you can, so come on."
"All right Sam now." said Janet, Sam bore down once more and Janet picked up the baby, one of the nursed cut the umbilical chord and Janet showed Sam. "Congratulations honey. A beautiful baby girl." Janet went off and cleaned her and came back with her perfectly wrapped up and gave her to Sam.
"She's so small," said Sam in awe of her tiny child.
"What should we call her?" Jack asked.
"How about Charlotte Elizabeth O'Neill, in remembrance of Charlie and my mum, or would that be too hard for you?"
"I dunno, How about Charlen Elizabeth O'Neill after both our mothers?"
"Even better, did you get that Janet?"
"Yep, but you both need your rest, so relax, or do I have to make that an order?" Janet went to pick up Charlen but Sam held her close.
"One more moment, please" she pleaded.
"She will be in an incubator next to your bed all the time."
Sam begrudgingly handed Charlen over and watched as Janet placed her in the incubator and put the hospital band on her. Jack reached his finger over Charlen and she grabbed onto it
"She knows her daddy." Sam said happily.
Then Daniel and Teal'c came in to congratulate the happy couple, Sam was lying down looking at Charlen happily. Janet came over and shooed them away.
"They need rest, all of them" Sam fell asleep soon after along with Jack.
The next day almost the entire baste came to visit them. Towards the end of the day General Hammond came in with a special surprise for Sam.
"Dad," she said as he entered the infirmary, he gave Sam a hug and went to have a look at his granddaughter.
"What's her name Sammie?" he asked.
"Charlen Elizabeth O'Neill, after both our mothers."
"It's beautiful"
"Thank you dad," she said
Sam smiled at Jack who was in the next bed and looked at her family, she was so happy, and she knew, just one second, one slight bit of difference can change everything. Now to get out of here.
A/N: More? I feel that is a good place to stop but what do you think another chapter with the happy family? Maybe a welcome home party from the SGC to them?
