"Jack?" asks Sam as she kneels on the ground next to him at his desk
patting his cheek "Sir? Are you Okay?" At his stirring she stands up and
sits on the edge of his desk with a sigh of relief.
"Carter?" is his confused reply, "What? . . ."
Amused at his reaction Sam giggles, "You took that better than I thought you would."
Automatically Jack replies "hey no giggles," before what went before hits him.
"Oh!"
Sobering slightly she nods "oh, indeed. I think we have a lot to talk about."
"I think you're right," he nods in response.

Chapter Two
The Talk
*************************
A few minutes later Sam sitting across the desk from him once more looks at the apparently very interesting floor once again. The silence broods on them both with its intensity, and as we know Jack O'Neill cant handle uncomfortable silences well, so when he speaks its with his usual aplomb.
"Geeze, this is . . . Man!"
Smiling at his statement Sam looks up seemingly put at ease by his usual attitude. "That it is sir."
Looking at her seriously but with a twinkle of amusement in his eye he responds, "what happened to Jack?"
Blushing slightly she looks at him before smiling back, "I'm sorry 'JACK' I was worried by the failure of your nerves of Steel."
Actually blushing himself Jack looks down at the floor, "yeah well, um . . ." he mumbles before squirming a bit and coughing. "Any way I think we should um, you know talk."
Smiling in a melancholy way she nods "yes I think we should."
Getting down to brass tacks Sam forges ahead, returning to her usual straightforward nature once she has a her mind on it. "I know we decided to . . .um, move on from what happened between us as in Jonah and Thera. And I agree I think if things had been unchanged we could have maintained a professional nature. Our duty to the Air Force, the Country and the world has to come first, but now . . ."
Looking at him with fear peaking out thru her eyes she continues, "Sir . . . Jack I, don't know what to do. I love the Air Force and even though we didn't know any better I still feel like I betrayed my duty."
Shaking his head Jack gets up and walks around the desk sitting on the edge, "Carter . . . Sam, I know how you feel. But you said it we 'didn't know what we were doing' we were under alien mind control."
Smiling at his attempts to make her feel better Sam nods, "I know it's not rational, but lets forget about that for now we have to face this instead of trying to forget like we have been."
Looking a little melancholy Jack nods "its not been easy to forget, I was . . . happy." And at her surprised look he continues, "why so shocked, we were working for a 'noble goal' well we thought we were anyway and we had each other."
Looking down with a hint of blush she nods, "I know what you mean, and if we can be honest for once I enjoyed being able to be together without worrying about the Regs."
Smiling in remembrance to their time together working on the plant he responds, "me too."
Then with her typical inquisitive nature she questions, "do you think its odd that of all the people there, we ended up together?"
Smiling with a cheeky grin he says, "not really."
With a confused look she encouraged him to continue.
Smiling broader, "some things are deeper than memory."
Blushing beat red she smiles.
************************
'I can't believe he said that' Samantha Carter thinks.
Struggling to get her mind back on track she takes a deep breath and exhales, "I think we've gotten off track, you know?" She questions trying to lead him back onto the subject at hand.
Nodding in agreement he allows the flirty smirk to fall away to be replaced by a more serious one, "Well I think the first question is 'what do you want to do?'"
"I don't know I really haven't had a lot of time to think about it yet. I mean I always wanted to have kids someday, but after Jolinar I wasn't sure if I ever could you know?"
Nodding soberly at the seriousness of her statement, "I remember hearing about it yes."
"So, aside from being totally freaked out," she says with a manic smirk "this really is a miracle."
Looking far off Jack nods, "yeah, kids are a miracle," he says the situation hitting a little close to home for him.
Realizing how he must be thinking of Charlie, Sam gets up and pulls the cord out of the back of the security camera before walking up and giving him a big comforting hug.
Smiling at how she is trying to make him feel better even though she must be an emotional wreak herself Jack gives her a quick squeeze as if to say he is okay then holding her out at arms length he looks her in the eye. "Sam?" and at her answering nod he goes on, "I just wanted to say I am here for you, whatever we decide."
Then standing back he gets a look in his eyes and he questions, "Sam? I know we don't have much time before SF's storm in here for the out camera but well, I remember that when me and Sarah were trying to have kids we had several false positives. So? You know is it possible you might be wrong?"
Standing back she gnaws on her bottom lip for a second before saying "I'm not sure really, I've never done this you know? But do you think the test could be wrong? And I'm still late no mater what though, that's the biggest positive in my book."
"Well I'm no doctor but the test could be wrong Sarah had several false readings with home tests before, you did use a home test right?" at her nod her continues "well I guess it could be you should get your regular doctor to check you out before we make any funky decisions you know?"
Nodding at the surprisingly sound advise she smirks "who would have thought you would ever give me advise on pregnancy tests."
"Not me that's for sure" he laughs moving to hook up the camera again so security wont have a hissy fit.
"We may have a problem though," and at his questioning look she continues, "Well cause of the Naquada in my blood I cant go to a regular doctor, in fact Janet is my regular doctor. Not that I don't think she can keep a secret but we'll have to do this discreetly until we know more, so that its not all over the base in an hour." Thinking for a second she nods at her own comment "I guess I can talk to her and see if we can have heart to heart at my place tonight."
Looking at his watch Jack exclaims, "Geeze we've been talking longer than I thought, we've got that debriefing in 5 minutes."
Jumping at the lateness Sam exclaims, "Oh No, I don't have any of my notes ready or anything, and I can't mess this up again."
So getting ready she gathers her self together she looks at Jack, "Jack . . . Sir" she continues "so until we know for sure we're going to just act like nothing's wrong right?" She says getting their stories straight.
Moving forward he puts his hand on her shoulder, "yeah you betcha, we should get together though for dinner. Say, tomorrow night? My place and go over what we're going to do if things go like we think they may."
Smiling at the thought Sam nods "Yes Sir, I guess we should."
Smiling the two of them go on their way Jack to the Briefing room, Sam to her lab for some files she'll need. Both of them though are hoping the good feelings their little talk brought about will hold. But as we all know things very rarely go as planned so as each head for the debriefing an ominous feeling begins to settle on their hearts.
