The ringing of a phone causes Major Sam Carter to jolt awake from her
position on the floor of the bathroom. Aching from a night sleeping on
cold tile she stumbles to her feet back bent in pain from her sleeping
position. Crossing to the phone she grabs the receiver, "Major Carter?"
"Major Carter?" asks the voice of General Hammond, "You were supposed to be here for the debriefing on the X-301 incident an hour ago."
Looking at her watch Sam Carter gasps at the lateness of the morning, "OH My Gosh, Sir" she gasps. "I am so Sorry, I . . . I . . ." she begins before the reason for her sleeping arrangement hits her.
Spying the pregnancy test on the floor of the bathroom the tears threaten once more, but the voice of General Hammond bring her around, "Major Carter? Are you sure you're all right? We've been trying to get a hold of you since 07:30 hours."
Shaking off her impending depression Sam firms her resolve "I'm, I'm fine Sir. Really."
Not sounding entirely convinced General Hammond replies, "all right Major, I'll reschedule the debriefing for 11:00 hours."
"Thank you sir, I'll be there as soon as possible."
Sounding concerned he asks, "Sam? Are you sure you're all right. You know if you need to talk, I'm here."
Exhaling slowly with her eyes closed Sam responds "Thank you sir, I . . . something came up yesterday and well . . . I, I'm just, I'm sorry. Give me some time though; I will need to speak with you about this. I just need to sort some things out first."
Still sounding concerned not like a CO but more like an old family friend, General Hammond comes back with, "all right Major you know my door is always open."
Smiling slightly "I know Sir, thank you I'll be there soon."

Chapter One
Telling the Colonel
*************************
Standing in front of "HIS" office Sam takes a deep breath and tries to control her shaking hand. She had rushed here, still in the BDU's she was wearing yesterday, breaking some land speed records she had made her way here first thing once she had ascertained that the Colonel was actually in his office.
The rescheduled debriefing is in just over an hour; she should have been getting her notes together she thought. But to be honest that's the last thing on her mind, she had to tell "HIM" what has happened, and she was worried that this will be the end. Of their careers, of Sg-1, of what may have been someday . . . between them.
"NO" she says forcefully trying to forestall the tide of darkness intruding on her mind. Of course she said this a little to loudly and she was answered with the Question, "Carter?"
Struck dumb by the question and even more by the sight of him as he opened his door she could only stand there as he questioned her. "Hey Carter, you okay? You don't look so good."
"We were worried," he continues, "when you didn't show up for the debriefing. Hammond said you were okay though so we called off the search dogs. Come on in," he says finally ushering her into his office, the utilitarian room literally glowed with his charm, yo-yo on the desk, unfinished reports that were due last week sat untouched made her smile, and made her feel even more like a heel for what she was about to do.
Shutting the door behind him he walked around the desk and sat down propping his feet up on the desk. "So Carter, What's up?"
Looking down at her feet she mumbles something unintelligible, and only at his prompting does she speak up, "I said sir that I have something to tell you."
Noting her uncharacteristic behavior jack sits up and looks at her in concern, "well go ahead Carter I always have time for my 2IC," he says with a smile, trying to allay whatever is upsetting her.
Looking down at his comment Sam successfully keeps from crying again as she tries to tell him what's going on, but the right words just don't seem to want to come out.
*************************
Sitting there Colonel Jonathan "Jack" O'Neill is getting more and more concerned as he watches his 2IC him and haw about something that's bothering her. And he is sure it has something to do with her missing the debriefing this morning after Doc Frasier cleared him to return to light duty.
Fed up with listening to anymore, stuttered comments about something that she realized yesterday Jack coughs to get her attention and when that doesn't work he calls out to her, "Carter!"
This exclamation draws her attention back from the floor and wall that had held her concentration for the last several minutes, "Sir?"
Sighing while rubbing the bridge of his nose he realizes why Doc Frasier had him on light duty, "Carter, spit it out what's going on?"
Looking up at him she closes her eyes and takes a deep shuddering breath before looking him dead in the eye and utters, "I'm Pregnant."
". . ."
". . ."
This stunned silence continues for a minute as he attempts to maneuver his jaw back into an operable state, "who?"
Sighing and looking very small and lost she tells him "You are."
Sitting back in his chair he looks at her tilting his head in the manner he has when he is feeling overwhelmed. "Oh? I see, well . . . uhm? How?" He finishes in a desperate kind of inflection.
Looking down at the ground she responds "Jonah."
Looking at her for a moment he nods "oh, I see," before passing out dead in his seat.
"JACK!" she exclaims rushing around the desk and patting his cheek trying to revive him.
"Jack? Wake up."

End Notes:
Well you asked for more and I responded, to be honest I was overwhelmed with the responses I got. I thought 1 maybe 2 reviews but I got 6 in one day.
All I can say is thank you. Thank you for taking the time to not only read my work but review. This is the first non-anime Fanfic I've ever done and I'm gratified it has been so well received so far.
I hoped you liked this first chapter; I'm going to make the chapters fairly short so I can get them out more regularly. Lately I've been having trouble getting big chapters out. But I can crank out a short chapter in a night. So please bear with me for the length, but Shanna1's great fic chicken pox has shown me that a fic can have short chapters and still be fulfilling. I just hope I don't embarrass myself.
I hope you like this one and I hope you like how I take this fic. Please read and review and let me know what you think. Likes or dislikes, or any comments on how you think it should go yourself.
Once again thank you.
