Sam was starting to get bored after having a few weeks off work, she and Adam had spent a week at his cottage as planned with no calls from anyone off SG1 or Janet. After that week she had come back home and still spent most of her time with Adam when he wasn't busy for whatever reason.
Adam had now gone back to Paris for a week or so to get a few loose ends tied up, he was due to fly back on Friday afternoon and it was only Tuesday. With no one to talk to she was starting to feel like she was loosing her mind.
She had read nearly all of the books that she hadn't had time to read then she watched the discovery channel, but when she got really desperate for something to do she had watched a hockey match. (Boy was the Colonel going to annoy her if he ever found out that).
She had now been sat on the sofa for half an hour with nothing to do. She had found that her mind had started to work through some of the technology she'd been working on before she had been taken off active duty.
There was a knock on the door and Sam had to smile glad for the distraction, no matter whom it was. She quickly got up and went to answer the door. Opening the door she saw Janet standing there, a smile on her face.
"Hey Janet" Sam's smile widened now that she had someone to talk to.
"Hey Sam… I come bearing good news."
"Great… does that mean I can go back to work?… I'm going insane with nothing to do… Come in I'll make you a coffee."
Janet walked into the living room and Sam to the kitchen to make the coffees.
"So where's Adam?" Janet raised her voice slightly so that Sam would be able to hear her in the kitchen.
"Oh… he's gone to Paris for a few days, he should be back about Friday" came Sam's reply.
Moment's later Sam walked into the living room with two cups coffee in her hands. Placing one cup in front of Janet she took a seat on the opposite sofa.
"So I'm allowed back to work?"
"Well all your results finally came back… and they're all clear… so General Hammond's agreed to have you come back until we get an solution of how to reverse the effects of the Furling's technology… You'll have to come in tomorrow so I can do another check up but after that you should be able to come back to work no problems."
"You got it… I'll be there at 0900 hours… I can't wait to get back to work."
"Great… well that's the shop talk out the way… How are things going with you and Adam?"
"Fine… he's moved over to the cottage I was telling you about, it's about half an hour out of town… but… I don't know how to explain it Janet, I've never felt like this before… I really like him."
Janet seemed to be trying her best to look happy for Sam although she still couldn't believe that they were talking about the same person that she had known all those years ago, as she'd never known him act like this, even when he was having a good day.
"I'm happy for you Sam… it just doesn't seem to be the same Methos that I knew."
"He's not Janet… I can tell when someone's lying about something like that… I lived with Jonas long enough to know Janet… I may not be as old as you and Adam… but I know Janet."
"Ok… I said I'd believe you and I do Sam, you have nothing to worry about… I won't do anything unless I have a valid reason."
"Ok."
Sam woke up the next morning feeling better knowing that she was finally going back to work. She quickly got ready for work unable to hold back how excited she felt about going back to work.
She arrived at the mountain and headed straight to the infirmary where she was now waiting for Janet to finish up with the patient she was dealing with at the moment.
"Right… that's all Sergeant… your free to get back to work… but no more shocking yourself."
The Sergeant jumped off the bed and nodded his thanks to Janet then quickly left the infirmary. Janet came over looking at Sam and could tell that she was eager to get back to work.
"Right… come on Sam lets get you checked out so we can get you back to work."
They walked over to one of the examination beds and Sam hopped up and Janet set to work doing her tests.
An hour later Sam and Janet were sat in Janet's office awaiting the test results that had been put on a rush at the lab.
A knock on the door drew their attention from the conversation that they were having and Janet told the person knocking to enter.
A junior nurse entered the office looking sheepishly at Doctor Fraiser and Sam, "Doc Fraiser we have the test results you wanted."
The nurse walked up to Janet's desk and placed the file in her hand. "Thank you…" Janet smile reassuringly at her, the nurse smiled back shyly and quickly turned and left the office. Janet opened the file and started scanning the results.
Sam took notice of Janet's face as it seemed to loose the smile that had been held in place all morning. Sam noticed this and sparks of fear ignited within her.
"Janet… what wrong?"
Janet looked up and she could clearly see the fear that was showing on Sam's face. Janet knew that she had to careful while asking the next few question as she really didn't know how Sam was going to react to hearing what she had found out.
"Nothing Sam… errr… I'm just going to ask you a few questions before I let you go back to work ok as these results have brought something up… ok?" Janet tried to smile reassuringly at her but could tell that it didn't help much.
"Sure…"
"Ok then… First of all… how have you been feeling the past few weeks?"
"Fine… I've been fine… a bit tired the last week or so but I think that's because I haven't been doing that much… why."
"Ok… this one's where it gets personal…"
"Just ask it already Janet… I know there's something wrong I just want to know what it is… so I know how bad it is."
"Ok then… errr… before you were with Adam have you been with anyone else recently?"
"Janet… if your asking if I've slept with anyone else before Adam… out of all my friends you should know that more than anyone else I haven't… it's been over two years before Adam that I was with anyone… now tell me what the hell is going on?"
"Ok" Janet looked back down at her notes making sure that she hadn't misread them. "According to the test result I've just got back… your pregnancy test has come back positive."
Sam looked at Janet shocked at her last statement. "Janet… I thought you said that after Jolinar messed up my system, I couldn't have kids?"
"Yes I did say that… but that's not the strangest part…" Janet leaned forward and indicated for Sam to do the same. "Sam immortals can't have children… Adam can't have children."
"Janet… I've only slept with Adam… like I said I haven't been with anybody for over two years before him."
"No offence Sam but the test may prove that untrue… I can guarantee that Adam can't have children… I've done enough tests over the years to know that as a fact… where as your case… well that's always been uncertain from the start and now… Sam what else can I think…"
Sam was starting to get annoyed with Janet's attitude but really didn't want to talk about it right now, she just wanted to get back to work. "Janet… I don't care what you believe, I know what I know, now will you authorise me to go back to work?"
"Ok… You can go back to work but not for gate travel… I want both you and Adam to come by the academy hospital at a later date so I can do some more tests to confirm a few things… You don't have to tell him anything at the moment, just say I'm running some tests on immortals, he'll just think I'm doing one of my usual experiments that I do every few years."
"Thanks Janet… Adam doesn't get back from Paris till Friday anyway so how about I bring him in on Saturday?"
"Yeah that's fine… if you meet me at my office at the academy hospital at 1300 hours"
"Sure… but as you said Adam thinks he can't have kids I won't tell him until we have the proof."
"Ok… I'll call round tonight if you want so you can talk some more about it then."
"Ok see you then."
