Last time on B.T.S.o/t.M. Sam told Jacob about her pregnancy.
Tired of the silence Jacob decided to speak up, "Sammy, talk to me, what's going on? You know you can tell me anything, right?"
Sam took a deep breath and exhaled it 'well might as well jump in with both feet,' she thought with a grimace.
She looked him dead in the eyes and said, "Dad...I'm pregnant."

Chapter Eighteen
Grandpa Part Two
#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#
The words 'I'm pregnant,' resounded over and over in the older man's head as he tried to get a hold of his emotions, while he tried to rap his mind around what he had just heard.
Without Selmak's help he probably would have handled things even worse than he did. For once he got a handle on himself, at least partially, that is, he...went...off.
"WHAT!!!" he roared.
"Dad, calm down," Sam tried to sooth her father.
"How did this happen?" he asked in a fervor.
Still trying to calm things down, Sam tried to inject a little levity into the situation. "Well if you don't know, I don't think I should be the one to tell you," she said with a little smirk, which looked a lot like a certain Colonel's.
"Samantha Carter," Jacob exclaimed in an exasperated manner, before he shook his head and forced himself to calm down a bit.
"Sam," he said before he took a deep breath and let it out, "Sam, I guess what I mean is who's the father? I didn't think you were seeing anyone."
"I...I, uhm, well that is," Sam stammered nervously, before she took a deep breath herself, "Dad I can't lie to you, and if I tried to you'd probably see right through it anyway. But I don't want to talk about that here, you never know who might be listening," she said with a nervous look around the room.
"Okay Sammy," her father said with a frown, "Just where did you have in mind."
#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#
"The generator room?" the Tok'Ra said with an exasperated tone.
"Well yes," Sam replied sheepishly, "I figure that while someone in the government might listen in on security tapes in the briefing room, that won't happen down here. The cameras down here only record visually, not audibly, and if by chance someone did put a microphone down here the noise is so great that they probably wouldn't pick up on anything."
"Sam, I realized that, what I was wondering was why you were so worried about who might hear in the first place," General Carter said with a frown, before a thought flew through his mind and caused a flicker of understanding on his face. "I see," he said looking her dead in the eyes, "its Jacks child, isn't it."
"Daddy, I..."
"ISNT'T IT," he roared in anger.
"Yes," she whispered meekly.
"OF ALL THE STUPID," he yelled before he visibly calmed down most likely by Selmak, "Sam of all the stupid things you could have done how could you let yourself get pregnant by your C.O. Don't you realize that this will probably ruin your carrier, his too."
"It's not like that dad," she said before she began to tell her tale, of all that happened when Sg-1 was taken and brainwashed. How Jonah and Thera met and fell in love, before they eventually decided to marry in the manner of the people they were now a part of.
How it wasn't until after Jacob had left to inform the Tok'Ra high command of the X-301 incident and his failure in the mission he himself had been on, that she realized what had been troubling her for a few weeks. She told him of her fears and doubts, of how they found out the truth that she was pregnant and of the lie she told General Hammond to protect them all.
Jacob took several minutes to absorb all of this information before he sighed and began to speak, "Sam, I..." he trailed off at a loss for words.
Finally Jacob took a deep breath and looked her dead in the eyes, "Sammy?"
"Yes dad?" she asked, worried about his reaction and how this will affect their relationship.
"Do you love him?" he asked quietly.
"I..." Sam stammered, at a loss for words herself by this unexpected question. "Dad, that doesn't matter nothing can happen he's my C.O. for Pete's sake."
"Sammy," Jacob said, "Something has already happened," he said with a nod to her stomach. "And you didn't answer my question."
"I..." she muttered as she struggled for what to say, "I...don't..."
"Sam," he said quietly.
"YES, YES ALL RIGHT, I LOVE HIM, I LOVE HIM SO MUCH IT HURTS, and it's killing me to do this to him, to look at his face and see how much pain he's in as he tries to make ME happy," she blurted out in a rush, as tears poured from her eyes.
"I've been trying to make myself not love him, not to want to be with him, so that I can protect him. But it all seemed so hollow," she continued in a desperate rush, "nothing I came up was any good, all my excuses seemed like just that...excuses. Some way of, protecting myself from getting hurt again or even worse...hurting him, but I ended up hurting him anyway."
After a moment she of weeping she continued, "But what it boils down to though dad, is that we'll NEVER be able to be together, at least as long as we both are at the SGC and we're both needed too much for us to be selfish and endanger the earth by leaving."
"Sam," he began, as he took her crying form into a bone-crushing hug, as if seeking to hold her pain at bay.
"I loved your mother, more than I can ever say, and every moment we had together I treasure each and every day. There's not much I wouldn't give up, for the chance to have one more minute with her," he said with tears threatening in his own eyes.
"Sammy what I'm trying to say, is that...if you love him, I mean REALLY love him, don't wait, the life we live is more unsure than most and regrets can be worse than you know. If you really tried, you would find a way to make it work, I believe in you, I believe that you're smart enough, that if you put your mind to it you could accomplish anything you wanted."
"Dad..."
"Shhh, Sammy, don't say anything, just do it, sometimes I think you tend to over think things. And in matters of the heart you really need to just, go for it, and if he really wants it and I'm almost positive he does, you'll be able to deal with this together and, you'll be stronger for it. And Sammy," he said as he looked down into her eyes, while he still held her to him, "if it's real, if it's true, it's soooo worth it, trust me. All I've ever wanted for you, was for you to be happy, so if this is it, all I can say is, go for it, don't wait or let fear stop you, okay?"
And at her quiet and shaky answering nod he smiled and gave her a little peck on the forehead, "Selmak is reminding me we have to check in with the Tok'Ra high command and see about getting an operative to sub in for you on this mission, but while we do that I suggest you get cleaned up and attend to some business, okay?"
"Okay dad," she said sheepishly, embarrassed at her emotional outburst and at the realization of the depths of her feelings that she had kept buried from herself for so long.
And with that Jacob Carter tightened his hug on his only daughter for a second before he let go and headed up to the gate room leaving Sam alone to gather her thoughts as she tried to decide, exactly what it was she wanted to do about the situation she has found herself in, and if she has the guts to do what she has wanted to do for so very long.

From the shadows, way in the back of the power room, a figure, hidden in the inky blackness snarled silently in a barely contained fury. The only thing visible was that of his Air force uniform as the man quietly removed a cell phone from his pocket as he moved away from the generator's interference.
"I need to speak with Senator Kinsey," he said with curt tone.
