Arriving at cruising altitude Major Samantha Carter leveled off the small
jet that General Hammond had had waiting for them at the airfield. She
double checked the instruments and put the autopilot on. She glanced back
into the cabin and spied Daniel as he sat buckled into his seat.
With a sigh Sam leaned back into the pilots seat and cast her mind back, 'I hope Jack, I mean the Colonel,' she thought shaking her head to get the thoughts straight. 'I hope the Colonel handles things with Teal'C; of course the big fella is the more low maintenance of the two guys to deal with.'
She double-checked the instruments, not that they needed it but it gave her something to do to keep her mind off this entire situation.
'Are we doing the right thing Jack,' she sighed again and let her doubts grow, 'I wonder what he's thinking; I mean I know he doesn't like this plan, I don't either and its true we didn't do anything wrong, at least not of our own volition. But I don't see anyway other way to deal with this, not and stay in the military. And I don't see how . . . anything could ever . . . happen between, us.'
Snorting in self derision she thought, 'I can see it now, little child left with a baby sitter "mommy will see you later little one," I'd say, "but daddy and I need to go on a date to get to know each other before we decide to make a go of any real relationship." Yeah that's not putting the cart before the horse, sure we know each other but knowing each other's habits on base or in the field is one thing. But knowing each other in a relationship is a whole nother animal altogether. I just don't think it could ever work, at least . . . not now, things are too . . . complicated, now.'
She shook her head again to get her thoughts back on the right track and glanced back again wondering how she would do this. 'I guess the best way is just to get it over with, its not like I wont get a lot of practice telling people. Some version of the truth anyway that is.'
She sighed once more and hesitated a moment worried over how and what she was going to tell her father and brother. Before she shook her head and mumbled "One problem at a time Sam, one problem at a time. You've got to tell Daniel now, dad's another problem altogether."

Chapter Eleven
Friends Part One
***********************
"Daniel could you come up here for a second please?" Sam called out.
"Uhm, sure everything okay?" Daniel answered back as he hesitantly unhooked the seat belt almost tripping as he got his foot caught on the under seat storage rack.
"Ow," he called out as he caught himself on the seat backs in front of him.
Sam turned around and called out, "you okay?"
Righting himself Daniel adjusted his glasses and strode to the cockpit, "yeah I'm fine just tripped."
She smiled up at him as he tentatively got into the copilots seat, "I'm glad and to answer your question, yes everything is okay, I just wanted to talk to you for a minute okay? Plus theirs no need for you to sit in the back when we're the only ones onboard, okay?"
He smiled back at her, glad that she wanted to talk finally.
With a sigh she dived right in, "I know you've been worried about me for a while now, and I appreciate it. But it was something I needed to deal with myself, at least until I knew for sure."
"For sure what?" the archeologist asked uncertainly.
She looked down at the controls for a second before she looked back at Daniel, "I'm pregnant."
***********************
Dr. Daniel Jackson, archeologist, anthropologist, brilliant linguist was not having a good day. Oh it started out pretty good, except for Sam and Jack acting weird that is, Sg-1 got back from their mission with no problems, he got his physical done quick and even had time to grab a cup of coffee before reporting to the briefing room. Of course with his luck things had a habit of not being good for long. He got to the briefing room with plenty of time, meet up with Jack who was flipping through a tabloid but obviously not paying attention to it as his gaze was fixed on General Hammond's office.
He made some kind of joke about the rag he was looking at but he didn't hear Jacks reply as the large headline on the back page caught his attention. The next few minutes were a blur as it penetrated his mind that, he was dead . . . Dr. Jordan was dead, and he never had a chance to make it up to him for all that happened.
The next thing he knew he was flying with Sam to Chicago for Dr. Jordan's funeral and she dropped this bombshell on him, she was pregnant. His first thought beyond shock was happiness for her, but then sadness for he knew it would mean her having to leave the team for, who knows long. It was then he realized that she had been looking at him for a minute waiting for him to say something as he wandered down memory lane.
He blushed, "Uhm sorry, that's great news . . . um isn't it?"
Sam smiled at his reaction, it was so . . . Daniel, "yes it is, but it isn't without complications," she finished with a grimace. "I told General Hammond I was pregnant and of course he took me off the field duty roster, which I understand, it's for the best."
At his nod she continued, "What I didn't tell him was the truth about who the father is."
"Uh, why? Who is the father Sam?" he questioned, confused by the turn the conversation had taken.
"I told the General that I was going out with someone for a while before we went to P3R-118, and that, that man was the father" she said by way of explanation. "That of course wasn't true, the truth is," here she paused and sighed, "the truth is I got pregnant ON P3R-118, and Jac . . . I mean the Colonel is the father."
"WHAAAT?! That's, that's" she sputtered for a moment before frowning in thought for a second, "That's not going to sit well with Jack at all."
"Not the baby I mean," he blurted out, "I think Jack will actually love being a father again, but I mean the deception about him not being the dad, you know?"
She grimaced herself as well, "your right . . . its hard . . . for both of us, I mean don't get me wrong it has to be this way . . . but I wish . . ." she trailed off looking down into her lap.
Placing his hand on her back he rubbed her shoulder in comfort, "hey Sam its going to be okay, me and Teal'C will help and I know wild horses couldn't keep Jack away from you."
At that last statement she glanced up at him sharply, making him lean back startled, "what I mean is um he will want to help no matter what, um you know?"
She looked back down at her lap, a hint of a blush on her cheeks, as she knew what he really meant by saying that.
He coughed into his hand and looked out the window at the passing cloud cover before he turned back and changing the subject. "I'm actually glad you decided to come with me, I could use some company." He sighed and looked down at his hands as he fidgeted in discomfort, "I didn't leave in the best of ways and I'm not looking forward to some of the . . . confrontations that will probably happen."
She looked back at him and patted his arm, her soft heart reaching out to comfort him, "I'm glad to be there for you too Daniel."
He looked back at her and adjusted his glasses smiling "and I'll be happy to be there for you whenever you need me."
With a smile and a last pat on the arm she went back to the controls, " Thank you, we should be in Chicago in an hour or so," she told him as he settled into the copilots chair for the flight.

Okay just to say don't worry this will not be a Sam / Daniel fic, it's a brother sister kind of relationship, okay?
I am sooooo sorry for taking so long, but I did a few chapters in my other fics and then well things didn't want to go in the way I wanted them so I decided to let the story do what it wanted to do.
I was going to make a sequel fic but that idea . . . well it just never took off. So I decided just to go with the flow and keep writing under this fic.
I fixed a couple of things, the thing with Teal'C and the MRI in Chapter 10; also I made the Epilogue into Interlude One.
I hope you guys like that I am back and hope it wont be so long for the next chapter which will be "Friends Part Two."
Anyway thanks for all of your kind reviews, I really appreciate it, thanks.
