Chapter Sixteen

Bathroom Reflections

######################

"Ughhh," Sam Carter groaned from the floor of the woman's lavatory as she tried to control the dry heaves that still racked her body. After she got herself under control she leaned back against the wall of the stall and closed her eyes, "you about done in there little one?" she questioned as she gently rubbed a hand on her stomach.

"I thought I had gotten off easy," she said to the air, "none of that pesky morning sickness. But you were just saving it up weren't you?" the blond Major questioned with a glance at her belly.

"Now I've got to deal with morning sickness, afternoon sickness, and night sickness. You don't do anything halfway do you little one," Major carter chuckled to herself as she closed her eyes and leaned back again. "You're like your daddy aren't you? Of course knowing him he would say you're like me," she smiled, "what do you think?" she asked. "No answer? Well at least you don't have me vomiting at ten paces right now so I'll take what I can get."

With a sigh she reflected on everything that had happened in the last couple of months, 'maybe Jack was right maybe we should have just come clean with everything,' she thought, 'it's not like their wasn't mitigating circumstances.'

'I know it hurt him, a lot to have to lie like that, I know he wants to "do the right thing" as he would put it. But I cant do that to him he's put his whole life into the Air force and if he did that...well who knows what would happen.'

'But maybe there was a middle ground we could have tried,' she ruminated. "Who knows" she exclaimed after a time of thought, "we've got a murdering Gould on the loose, and here I am bemoaning my lack of a love life. Not to mention I have to think of something to tell dad," she muttered, 'he wont fall for what I told General Hammond,' she thought.

"Actually I don't think General Hammond fell for it either," Sam murmured.

With a grunt she pulled herself up, "well back to work, you going to let me work for five minutes little one? Or are we going to have to run back here as soon as I sit down at my computer?"

After a moment of staring at her stomach and not feeling any quezziness she nodded, "hopefully I can have some info for dad when he gets here on what Osiris is up to, but only if I can work for five minutes without tossing my cookies at the smell of water."

As she walked out of the bathroom she mumbled to herself, "Water, if you had asked me a month ago I would have told you water didn't even have a discernable smell but now just looking at a glass of the stuff and I go running for the can."

"When am I going to get those lovely food cravings, at least with those maybe I could keep something down? Well lets see if I can get anything done before I make another trip to the can," she said as she went into her lab.

Endnotes,

Sorry it has been so long since I updated this fic, a bunch of stuff happened but the main thing was I just didn't seem to be able to make myself write. Also I'm sorry this was so short but this just came to me on the way home from work so I decided to put it down.

This takes place after the events of the last chapter and after Jack went and told Sam about Jacob coming for a visit.

Let me know what you think, okay?

Also is it only me but do these changes in 's posting make things harder?
it wont let me know put my email address in or do my usual segment breaks. I hope it gets fixed soon. what do you guys think?

Later.
