Samantha Carter pulled up to Dr Janet Fraiser's house having definite second thoughts over doing this. Sam straightened her jacket and grabbed her purse remembering to lock the car door. Sam thought back to her visit to the infirmary earlier while she traversed the path to the front door.

Nervous about this she knows she must have freaked Janet out with her cryptic demands to meet alone at doctors house tonight, but it couldn't be helped. She had to make sure that Cassie wouldn't intrude tonight, so she had to get Janet to have her visit a friend. And having this conversation at the base would be an invitation to disaster, especially with the way the walls have ears in such a closed in environment.

"Well might as well get the show on the road," she muttered as she arrived at the front door. She smirked as she realized that that was like something the Colonel would say.

"I've been hanging around him to much," she smiled, "oh well," and she rang the doorbell.

Chapter Seven

Janet

*************************

Janet sat on the couch her glass of wine untouched on the coffee table as the information she just received ruminates thru her mind. Stunned is an understatement at learning that Sam might be pregnant, her friend is the last one she ever thought would be expecting like this.

Finally the petite doctor shook off her surprise "Sam that's great," then paused uncertainty "it is great isn't it?" she questioned.

At Sam's tearing up Janet came in close and hugged the obviously frightened taller woman, "Don't worry Sam it'll be alright I'll be here for you, so will Cassie and for sure the guys."

At mention of the other members of Sg-1 Sam's tears fell a little heavier, "Sam?" Janet questioned in confusion.

Mumbling something into her friends shoulder as she cried Sam tried to get a hold of her emotions.

"Hum?" Janet inquired.

Sitting up Sam wiped her eyes taking a tissue from her friend, "thank you, I said . . . that Jack's the father."

At that moment you could have knocked the good doctor over with a feather. I mean, everyone knows that the two of them had more sparks than a power plant. But she thought that neither of them would ever break the regs.

"SAM?!" she exclaimed in shock when her senses finally came back to her.

Looking at her friend in astonishment Janet continued, "what happened, I never thought you and Jack would have a relationship like that?"

Sam sat back and looked lost and alone, she closed her eyes and exhaled slowly and said, "We didn't."

Sensing the brunette woman's confusion Sam rolled her head so she was looking at her, "I said we didn't . . . it was on P3R-118."

Inhaling sharply Janet exclaimed "Jonah and Thera?" in a whispered breath.

Sitting up Sam nodded "yep, we didn't tell everything in out reports. We felt it wasn't that important in the long run but now it seems like it will turn out to be very important. But you see, Jonah and Thera . . . were married."

"WHAT!?" Janet cried out jumping up in shock before she dropped back with a flop onto the couch.

After a moment of reflection the good doctor realized what Sam must have wanted by coming here like she did and the doctor in her quickly came to the forefront. "You need a blood test don't you, to make sure?"

Sam glanced down nodded, "you're the only doctor I can go to thanks to Jolinar." Then quickly so as to show that that was not meant as an insult "not to say I wouldn't go to you anyway, its just it makes it more complicated."

All business Janet stood up and began paced about a bit, "well normally a test can be done in a few minutes but a more comprehensive test I could have done in about an hour."

"I sense a but in there somewhere," Sam said.

Looking back over to Sam Janet nodded, "the Naquada in your blood makes things a little more difficult I'll need to screen that out properly first in order to make absolutely sure."

"How long will that take."

Janet Sat down on chair across the coffee table from her friend and thought for a minute. "A day or two most likely, I could rush it but since you wanted to talk here I assume you want to keep this quiet, and to do this on my own without anyone else noticing will take some time."

Sam sighed and nodded, "I understand you do what you have to do."

Janet leaned back in the chair and asked, "Have you told Jack?"

At Sam's nod Janet questioned her, "So how did he take it?"

Smirking Sam giggled for a second "he passed out."

"NO, he didn't, you're kidding me?" Janet laughed heartily at the thought of the Colonel passing out like that.

The blonde woman joined in with her friend and laughed so hard that tears formed in her eyes.

After a minute or two the two women begin calming down still giggling periodically happier now that the mood has been lightened. Moving over to sit next to her friend Janet took her hand and smiled, "don't worry I have a feeling that everything will be fine, all right?"

Smiling as well Sam nodded giving her friend's hand a squeeze, "thank you."

"Come on by the infirmary tomorrow around 13:00 hours I'll make sure all the nurses are on break by then, okay?"

Smiling a little Sam agreed, and the two began to talk over other topics for hours only to break up when Cassie came home around 22:00 hours.

Breaking up there little get together Sam gathered her things and gave Janet and Cassie a hug and commented on planning future get togethers.

And in her car on the way home that night Sam could only think over how 'this is one more step that needed to be taken care of and how she hoped in the end that all would work out.'
