Sitting on the dock, by his cabin, fishing out of his lake, Colonel Jack
O'Neill was anything but relaxed like he would normally be. Of course
things were not like they would normally be when he was here. For one
Teal'C is with him, not having a good time at that, and for another thing
he had brought his cell phone with him on his own volition.
Why, you may ask, why would Jack O'Neill not be having a good time even with these things? And why would Jack take his cell with him? One name . . . Sam.
Everything had changed in a very short amount of time; Sam was pregnant, with their child. She had left with Danny to funeral of an old professor of his, with the added feature of telling him the truth of what had been going on the last while. He was volunteered by her to take 'T' fishing while they had this down time, in order to let him in on what had happened.
Of course finding the right time to do this had not been easy at all.
So Jack kept hemming and hawing, on the way out of the mountain, on the drive to the airfield and the flight to Minnesota and now sitting by the lake listening to Teal'C slap at mosquitoes. All this time he had put off talking about this, wondering how to put it. Finally he muttered to himself "it shouldn't be this hard, dang it."

"Sam's Pregnant," Jack blurted out, finally tired of delaying. "And I'm the father."
At Teal'C's non-response Jack looked up at him from his lounge chair to see him gazing out at the lake, "Well?"
Teal'C looked down at him, his normally reserved nature even more hidden by the dark shades and hat. "Indeed," is all he said though after a long delay and shifted the grip on the rod in his hand.
Jack swung his legs off the lounge chair and stood up then taking off his sunglasses he spouted off incredulously, "Indeed? That's all you have to say?"
The big Jaffa looked at his friend and comrade and simply nodded, "I had believed that was the case."
Wide-eyed Jack stepped back and shouted, "YOU KNEW?! HOW?"
Removing his own sunglasses Teal'C raised his eye brow, "the evidence was obvious by your and MajorCarters behavior."
"Obvious?" he blurted out incredulously, "oh so you know us so well huh."
Reflecting for a moment in his typical manner Teal'C answered, "I was not sure but I did suspect, I did not know when you and MajorCarter began a relationship but I believed it was inevitable, despite the limitations imposed on you by your AirForce."
Jack shook his head at his friend's comments and replied, "Well we're not exactly in a relationship."
Teal'C raised his eyebrow in a questioning manner and indicated for O'Neill to continue.
"It happened when we were brain washed on that ice age planet, and now that we know that Sam's pregnant she has this hair brained scheme to say she was going out with some guy before we left and he is the father."
"Why would MajorCarter not wish your friends and family to know that you are the father of her child?"
Jack looked over at him before sighing and sinking down onto the lounge chair, "its because of those limitations of the Air Force that you were talking about. I mean I'm not eager for a court martial myself but I think it would be better than trying to hide things and getting into more trouble when things do come out, and they will come out especially knowing our luck."
Sighing the big Jaffa nodded even though it was obvious he still was confused by the intricate nature of human behavior.
"She didn't tell Hammond the truth though," Jack, continued, "something about plausible deniability."
"What do you mean O'Neill?"
"Well she doesn't want to put him in the position of having to either report us or hide us and get himself into trouble when things do come out. I just wish we cou . . ."
Any further comments were cut off as the Cell phone rang in Jacks bag, he dove for it and scooped it up, "O'Neill," he answered.
"Jack?" Daniel asked from the other end of the phone.
"Danny, what's wrong? Is Sam Okay?" Jack asked in a worried tone.
"Sam?" he answered confused, "no Sam's okay. Well she had an upset stomach earlier so I went to the funeral alone while she stayed at the hotel. But she was okay later at least enough to fly me back to the SGC."
"Are you sure its just a stomach ache?"
"Um yes, Sam said its nothing serious just morning sickness, Jack you know you guys could have told me what was going on . . . but we can talk about that later I need to talk to Teal'C about something."
"Teal'C Daniel wants to talk to you," jack said with a sigh and passed the phone to the large Jaffa.
"DanielJackson, we have caught nothing . . . we are fishing," Teal'C, answered the phone, ignoring the glare from O'Neill at the subtle gibe at his lake.
"Yeah listen I need a little help here with a translation, the line reads 'Hakor kraa terak shree'"
Slapping his neck at a mosquito the former first prime answered "Banished to oblivion."
"Right, okay ahhh, thank you," the archeologist, answered back distractedly.
"If you require assistance I will be more than happy to return to the SGC."
"No thanks I think I have everything I need," Daniel replied, obviously distracted by whatever he was involved in.
"Are you certain," the big Jaffa looked around nervously.
"Gimmie that," the Colonel motioned for the phone, "Danny, your back at the SGC already? Is Sam with you?"
"Uhh, not right here now, she's getting General Hammond actually."
Sitting up Jack put his fishing rod down, "why's she getting the General?"
"Well actually I found something at the museum while helping an old friend, a jar with Gould symbols on it."
"We're on our way," Jack said and stood up and grabbed his bag while trying to ignore the unnatural grin on Teal'C's face at the prospect of leaving.
"Uhh Jack we really don't know what's going on yet, you really don't need to come back."
Jack handed the bag and the fishing rods over to the big Jaffa while they walked back to the cabin, "Look Danny if the Gould are involved in something I need to be there."
"Look Jack I'm heading back to Chicago tonight to look for a second jar that has gone missing while Sam looks over this one. We really don't know if anything is up at all, it could just be is a left over from the occupation thousands of years ago."
"I don't know what's going on but if we have Gould junk showing up that never means nothing in my book, so just in case Daniel," Jack said sarcastically, "me an T are heading back."
"Well okay then Jack," the archeologist replied in a confused tone at his attitude. "I'll let Sam and General Hammond know you guys are on the way in."
"You do that Danny," Jack said flipping the phone closed and headed to get the rest of their stuff before heading to the nearest airfield to go back to Cheyenne Mountain.
"Lets go 'T'"
Nodding with much enthusiasm Teal'C followed Jack.
To be continued.

Hey back again, how did you like this one? Let me know, okay? Thanks.
Also like I said I plan on letting this story go where it wants to go on its own. When I tried to force it where I wanted it to go we had almost two months of nothing. So I finally decided just to go with the flow and let things develop, as they will. Not to say I don't have an idea of how I want things to go, but I really don't know for sure how things will turn out. This story really has its own ideas on how it wants things to go. : )
So thanks for everything and I hope you all review so I can know what you think, Thanks a lot.
