Sam dialed the general's number at the base.

"Hammond," he answered

"Uh hi general it's me Sam."

"I take it you heard about Jack."

"Yes sir. That's not the only reason that I was calling."

"What would the other reason be?"

"I need permission to bring someone to the base."

"Who would that be?"

Sam paused before answering, "Jack and Janet's daughter."

She waited for the expected reaction and was not disappointed.

"What!"

"Yeah long story short they were together a long time ago and Jan got pregnant, but she and Jack had already broken up and she gave this daughter up for adoption. She just found them yesterday. Janet had never told Jack that they had a daughter. She told him last night."

"Is this one of the reasons that Jack left?"

"Yes sir. He was understandably upset."

Sam heard the general draw in a deep breath, "Permission granted."

"Thank you sir."

Meanwhile Cassie and Keiko were having no luck waking Janet up.

"Why won't she wake up," Keiko asked as her concern was rising

"I don't know," Cassie frowned looking around the room

Her eyes landed on a pill bottle on the bedside table. Going over to it she picked it up and read the label.

"Sleeping pills."

"So she took some sleeping pills. Do you think that she...you know...?"

"I don't think so. No matter how upset she is she wouldn't take the easy way out like that."

Sam entered the bedroom.

"Mom took a sleeping pill and is out cold," Cassie remarked as Sam came over to stand next to the bed

Sam sighed, "I don't really blame her. I received permission from the general to bring you to the base," Sam glanced at Keiko and then down at Janet

"Should we take her anyway?"

"I think that we should leave her here."

"Someone needs to stay with her for when she wakes up."

They all glanced at each other and then at the still sleeping Janet.

"Maybe we should try to wake her up again," Keiko supplied

Sam held up a finger, "I think I know what might do the job," she disappeared into the bathroom and came out with a glass of water, "Forgive me," she remarked softly and promptly threw the water in Janet's face

Janet came away with a jerk, spluttering from the water, "What are you doing," she asked sleepily

"Attempting to wake you up," came the answer from Sam

"Could you have tried another way," Janet asked wiping the water from her face with her blanket

"We did try other ways."

When Janet was more awake she noticed that Sam, Cassie and Keiko were standing around the bed staring at her.

"Is there something that I can help all of you with?"

"We need to go to the base."

"Why?"

No one answered for a moment.

"This has something to do with Jack doesn't it?"

"He left."

"He left? What do you mean by that?"

"We mean that he left. Took all of his accumulated sick days and left, not telling the general or anyone else where he went."

Janet nodded and looked down at her hands, "I knew he was upset but...I...this wasn't unexpected I guess."

"We need to go to the base," Sam responded

"Okay."

"We will leave you to get dressed. We'll be downstairs."

The three left the room and went to the living room. About ten minutes later Janet slowly entered the room all dressed and ready to go. They got into the car and went to the base.

They were cleared and got into the elevator.

"So where are we going," Keiko asked curiously

"We are going to the twenty eighth level where we work."

"Okay. What was so classified that you needed to get permission to let me come?"

"We work at the Stargate program."

"Stargate?"

"It is a gate to other worlds."

Keiko nodded her head not believing Sam in the slightest.

"It's true," Cassie interjected, "I'm actually from another world."

"So you're an alien?"

"Not specifically no. Most of the people that live on other planets are descendents of humans."

"Uh-huh."

They soon arrived at level 28.

"I'm going to go talk to the general," Janet spoke for the first time since leaving the house, "Can you guys show Keiko the sights?"

Sam and Cassie nodded.

"Thanks."

They watched as Janet slowly walked away with the look of someone that had lost. In truth she was.

"Why don't we show you the gate," Sam exclaimed brightly trying to lighten the mood

"Okay. Show me this gate that goes to 'other worlds'."

Several weeks went by with no word from Jack. Keiko was now a fixture at the SGC after they proved to her that it was real. Janet continued to come to work and do her job diligently, but everyone noticed there was something not quite right with her.

Janet tried to go on with her life like she wasn't dying inside and it was hard. She continuously projected an air of calmness. If you saw her you wouldn't think anything were wrong, until you would look in her eyes. There had always been this light around her that shown brightly.

Her eyes would sparkle with this light. With the disappearance of Jack and the truth coming out the light had faded. Not only had this light faded but also Janet seemed to be getting sick a lot and was always pale.

Even though Janet was a doctor herself, she still had to go to the doctor when she wasn't feeling well. Of course she'd been down in the dumps as of a late with the whole thing with Jack and Keiko, but she was really feeling bad.

After some prodding, cajoling and downright threats Janet had agreed to see a doctor. She had a doctor by the name of Kim Ferndale. Janet was looking at the newest plaque on the wall with detached curiosity when the door opened and a tall, slender blond entered.

"I have your test results," cheerily came from the PhD

"Good. I wanted to find out why I've been feeling so out of sorts lately. I mean it was probably from the stress of the past couple of weeks. You know with my long lost daughter finding me, having to tell Jack of said daughter, which I'd never, bothered to do.

He was understandably pissed off, broke up with me, and hightailed it out of town. It is stress I know. I don't know if I could handle anything else."

The longer that Janet had talked the more the look of dismay spread of Kim's face.

Janet noticed this look.

"Oh god what?"

"Uh well...stress is certainly something that could have caused you to be so sick and everything but that's not the case here. This is generally good news, what I'm about to tell you, but I'm not so sure now."

"Lay it on me," Janet remarked taking a seat in the worn chair in front of the desk

"You are pregnant Janet."

Janet raised an eyebrow at this in a characteristically 'Teal'c' gesture. Janet leaned forward on her elbow across the desk, "What now?"

"You're pregnant."

"I'm pregnant?"

"That's what I said."

"Okay."

"Is that your response? Okay," Kim asked with a little surprise

"I wasn't expecting for you to tell me that," Janet shrugged

"You had to have realized that you were pregnant right? I mean you are a doctor. I know stress can throw off your body but still..."

"I can figure out when other people are pregnant but when it comes to my own body I am surprisingly dense. I never thought it was anything else but stress," explained Janet

Kim frowned at this and shook her head, "Anyway aren't you happy?"

"Oh sure," was uttered with very little enthusiasm

"I feel bathed in your joy," Kim deadpanned

"Things are tough right now."

"I assume that Jack is the father of this baby?"

"Right."

"And in your ramble before you said he left?"

"Yes."

"I'm sorry Janet. You are going to tell him though?"

Janet stood up, "I don't even know where to find him."

"I'm sorry Janet."

"Thank you Kim. How far along am I?"

Kim looked down at the folder in front of her and then back up at Janet, "Four months."

Janet looked at her in surprise, "Four months? I can't believe I've been pregnant for four months and never realized it."

"Like you said stress could have been a factor in throwing off your body chemistry."

Janet sighed, "Yeah. I should go."

"Okay, call me if you need anything and I mean anything okay?"

Janet smiled faintly, "I got it."

The two women stood up, "You be careful out there it's getting kind of slippery."

Janet rolled her eyes, "Yes ma'am."

Gathering all of her things Janet left the office and headed out of the hospital. Pulling her coat closer around her because of the frigid air Janet hurried to her car to escape the cold.

She really had been watching where she stepped but some things are unavoidable. Janet's foot hit a patch of ice and she went flying through the air knocking her head hard on the ground on the way down. Janet was awake for a moment and then darkness overtook her.

Cassie, Keiko, Sam, Daniel and Teal'c were waiting for Janet to come back from her doctor's appointment. She said that she would meet them at her house by two. It was now three thirty. The phone rang. Everyone glanced at it and since Keiko was sitting closest to it she picked it up after the go ahead from Cassie.

"Fraiser residence."

"Who may ask am I talking to," a voice asked

"I'm Keiko Janet's daughter. Who am I talking to?"

"My name is Dale Thomas. I am a doctor at the Academy hospital."

"And?"

"Your mother had an accident."

"What kind of an accident?"

Everyone turned to Keiko as hearing this comment. They waited with bated breath as the conversation went on.

"She slipped and fell on the ice outside of the hospital. She was incredibly lucky that she was were she was considering the severity of her head injury."

"Severity? How bad is it?"

"Major head trauma."

Keiko let a breath out at this. She had just met her mother and now she may lose her.

"She's still...alive though right?"

"For the moment. You and the rest of your family should really get here. She may not have that much time left."

A whimper escaped Keiko at hearing the 'for the moment' comment, "We're on our way."

She hung up the phone, jumped to her feet, and was out the door before the others could react. They didn't move for a moment until Keiko came running back into the room.

"Come on we need to go to the hospital."

They stood up, "Would you mind telling us what is going on first," Daniel asked in alarm

"Janet slipped on some ice and hit her head."

"How bad," Sam asked

"The doctor guy doesn't think that she's going to make it."

This was certainly a shock.

Cassie jumped to her feet and was at Keiko's side within a few seconds, "Come on people what are you waiting for? We need to get to the hospital!"

Nurse Lydia Culpeper was standing at the nurse's station when a handful of people came running up to her.

"Can I help you," she asked softly

"We're here to see Janet Fraiser," Sam stated with a touch of hysteria

"Are you family?"

"This whole freaking hospital is like her family Lydia," Cassie exclaimed

Lydia nodded at this because it was true, "Let me get the doctor."

A few moments later a tall, athletic looking man strode over to them, "You're here to see doctor Fraiser?"

"Yes, is she okay," Cassie asked getting right to the point, "You told Keiko that mom has a head injury and may not make it."

Thomas sighed, "Please let's go over here," he indicated the waiting room

Everyone adjourned there and waited for him to speak again. "Janet received massive head trauma from her head impacting the ice. There is swelling and bleeding in the brain. At this point all we can really do is keep her comfortable."

"So you're telling us that you don't have any hope for her survival?"

"I always have hope that my patients will survive. Hoping and praying may not be enough."

Everyone looked at anything but him at this statement.

"This situation is horrible," he started again, "but what is worse is that her baby will go with her."

As one everyone looked up at him at this bit of information that they hadn't known.

"You didn't know this I take it from your expressions right now?"

"No, we didn't know that she was with child," Teal'c stated

"She is about four months along."

"Do you think that's what her doctor's appointment was about today," Cassie voiced

"Probably," Sam answered

Doctor Thomas brought them back to the point, "You all could go and see her."

"Isn't there like a limit of people going into a room?"

"We're waving that."

What he didn't say was clearly understood too, that they should all be there when Janet passed on.

"I will go contact generalHammond," Teal'c responded stoically.

They all went into the indicated room and looked upon their dearest friend and mother. Her head was heavily bandaged and she was on a ventilator. There was also a tube coming out of Janet's head.

"What is that for," Keiko asked

Thomas who had been off to the side answered, "To drain the fluid from her brain."

At that particularly disturbing thought doctor Thomas left the room.

Keiko leaned toward Janet. "You can't die Jan. I just found you," she whispered softly with tears streaming down her face.

Man I'm evil leaving it like that! Muawaahaaahaa! Push the purple button and you shall receveth a new chapter sooneth! Bye
