"What is it?" Sam asked as she closed the door behind her.
"Sam… Adam's just mentioned something… but for me to explain I'll need to tell him what's going on… is that ok?…"
Sam looked from Adam and Janet puzzled and worried about what was happening and what Adam had asked Janet that she'd need to tell him that she was pregnant.
Tears started in Sam's eyes not knowing what to do, "But… you said… I thought you said I'd need the proof for him to believe me."
Adam didn't like seeing Sam like this, whenever he saw her worried this much it felt like someone was squeezing his heart so tight he could hardly breath.
"Sam… you don't have to prove anything to me… You never will have to prove anything… I believe you wouldn't lie to me unless you had a good reason… so please… I don't need the proof."
Sam looked from Adam back to Janet, "There's also the fact that what Adam's just told me makes it hard to dispute your… 'Situation'."
"You didn't believe me… you thought I'd been lying to both you and Adam… I was doing this not only to prove to Adam but also you… You've been my best friend for about 7 years now and not once have I seen you look at me with so much… disappointment than you did with this…"
"I'm sorry…" Janet bowed her head knowing that Sam was right, that she should have believed her friend rather than distrust her. "It's just you have to understand I'll try and explain but I really need to tell Adam to explain it…" Looking back Janet met Sam's eyes hoping that her friend would still trust her judgement "Can I tell him?"
Adam moved over to Sam and pulled her into a hug, "its ok Sam…" Sam nodded giving Janet permission to tell Adam all that she needed to.
"Ok…" Janet quickly reverted back to doctor mood. "Right first thing is when Sam came for a check up before I could authorise for her to go back to work… I found something out… I found out that Sam's pregnant."
Sam felt Adam stiffen as he held her and couldn't help the tear that started down her cheeks going in a straight line. "But…"
"No Adam… let me finish" Janet received a nod from Adam then continued. "That's why we were here today… I didn't believe Sam when she said she hadn't… been intimate with anyone for over two years before you… When I told her that immortals couldn't have children she wouldn't take that as an answer and wanted to prove that you were indeed the father… That's why you're here today so I could do some tests to prove it one way or another… When you said you could feel Sam, Adam you weren't feeling Sam, you were feeling the baby… I believe that something… I'm not sure what at the moment made the immortal infertility nil in void…"
"What could cause that?" Adam had never heard of anything like this ever happening before and he'd lived long enough for something like this to happen at least once before.
"I have an idea… but I really can't discuss it as it involves something that happened regarding… work." Janet said not wanting to let on to Adam what was happening.
"Jolinar?" Sam asked, it was the only thing that came to mind that she could think of which could cause something like this to happen. Janet nodded in agreement.
"So first you tell me that thanks to Jolinar I can't have children… and now your telling me that the she's only reason I'm pregnant now?… I can't believe this."
"Sam… you have to understand that Jolinar messed up your system so bad that it even affects what type of medication we can give you… It's never happened before so it's a case were learning as we go along… Even Teal'c hasn't heard of anything like that happening before… You know there's never been a… well it's never happened before… Even your dad's not one hundred percent sure of what happened to you."
"But Janet… How could Jolinar enable me to have a child with an immortal?… who… may I add shouldn't be able to have children" Sam had moved away from Adam the anger enabling her to stop the tears for a time. She moved and came over to stand in front of Janet.
"I think it's the naqadah she left in your blood… I don't know how it could've affected you in this way… but I'll run some tests on the samples that I've taken today… I don't know how long it'll take but I promise you I'll find out and I'll let you know if there's a chance of it happening again."
"Thank you Janet…"
"Adam… you haven't said much about this… how you feeling about everything?… how are you taking this?" Janet was concerned.
"Well… to be honest… I don't know… it'll take some time to get used to the idea but… Oh god I never thought this was even possible… I don't know how to react… so much for five thousand years of life experience" No matter what he said Janet could see the smile that was lighting up his eyes and only a slight look of doubt.
Sam and Adam were sat in his cottage not talking. They were just cuddled up to each other, each trying to comfort the other. All of a sudden Adam broke away from Sam and getting up he walked over to the door leading to the garden. He stood just looking out into the garden for a moment unmoving and not saying a word.
Sam came to stand by him then took his hand loosely and headed out to the garden. Like she hoped Adam followed her out. Adam turned Sam around so that he was facing her and then he gently wrapped his arms around her neck then put his head on her arms.
"God Sam… I can't believe this is happening… all this… the baby… me being in love with you… which I have to say I haven't felt this way in a long time and…"
"I know how you feel… don't you just wish you could see what was coming and get a warning"
Adam smiled at her, "Oh yeah I know exactly how you feel… So Sam, I've moved to be closer to you, do you think that you'll be able to put up with me with me being around more?"
Adam was now smiling at Sam having taken his head off her arm. Sam smiled back then gave him a passionate kiss. Pulling away slightly she smiled and said sarcastically, "Well, it just looks like I'll have to get used to it."
With that she once again moved in and gave him another passionate kiss. Adams hands moved gradually down her body then Sam lifted her legs and wrapped them around Adam while he held her in place. He walked them back into the house leaving the door ajar.
Once inside Adam took them straight to the bedroom and gently laid Sam on top of the bed. Looking down at her he could see passion glistening in her eyes and knew that more than likely he held the same look in his eyes.
"You know something?" Sam smiled up at Adam a mischievous look joining the passion in her eyes.
"What would that be?…" Adam smiled back climbing on the bed positioning himself over her.
"I'm glad that vision came true…"
"Vision?… that was the vision that changed your mood so abruptly the day after Janet called round isn't it?"
Sam smiling was the only answer Adam needed as he moved in taking her lips and kissing her passionately.
Sam lay asleep in bed with Adam spooned up against her. She could tell by his breathing that he was sleeping. She smiled to herself and placed her hand on her abdomen feeling excited for the first time since finding out about her pregnancy.
Sam felt Adam shift slightly and his hand covered hers, "I thought you were asleep."
"No… I was just thinking"
"What about?"
"I'll give you one guess… I was thinking about you and the… baby… you have no idea how weird that sounds when you're talking about your own child and not someone else's…"
"Yeah I know how you feel… it just seems unreal especially at the moment… I don't feel any different… Yeah I'm feeling slightly tired but there's been no morning sickness… I'm still finding it slightly hard to believe at the moment."
The closeness that they were sharing at the moment holding each other and in turn her abdomen just felt so right she didn't know if she'd ever be able to explain what she was feeling at that moment.
"Sam?"
"Ummmm."
"I love you."
I love you too."
"Go on get some sleep… I think you deserve it after all the worrying you've been doing over the past few days."
There was no response from Sam as her breathing leveled out and her body relaxed even further and she drifted off into a peaceful sleep.
Adam smiled to himself feeling that he finally belonged somewhere after all this time. It wasn't much longer before he himself drifted off into a peaceful sleep still spooned up against Sam.
