30?
Two hours later Sam woke again. She smiled at Jack, who was sleeping in her bed. She kissed him and he woke up, slightly confused. When he got his bearings he smiled at Sam and pulled her into a hug. After a few moments Sam asked him for her bag.
Jack climbed off the bed and searched the room for it. "Uh, Sam…you're not going to believe this."
"Did you forget the bag?" Sam asked, sitting up in the bed.
Jack suddenly became very hang dogged. "I'm sorry."
Sam frowned. "It has her first outfit in it, and my receiving blanket."
Jack, who really didn't want to leave Sam's side, paged Siler to the medical bay. A few moments later Siler walked in, determined to tell the colonel no to whatever errand he wanted. But when Sam smiled at him and thanked him for watching Chandra so Daniel could be there with her he melted. "And I heard that you watched over us earlier while Jack went running all over the base."
"It was nothing." Siler shrugged. He watched as Sam gingerly picked up a now crying baby girl. "She's beautiful Major."
"Thank you."
Daniel and Janet, carrying a sleepy eyed Chandra, walked into the lab, followed by Cassie. They said hi to Siler, but for the most part they ignored everyone but the mom and baby.
Jack turned his attention back to Siler. "I need you to go to my house and grab the bag that is sitting in the middle of the living room."
Siler tried to get out of it. "I have work to do."
"This is priority Sergeant." Jack ordered. When he saw that Siler was about to protest Jack changed tactics. "If we don't get that bag, she'll kill me."
Siler sighed. He held his hand out for the keys. Jack grinned and handed Siler the key to his and Sam's house. "Thanks. I owe you one."
"One?"
"Maybe three." Jack shoved him off, then returned to Sam's side.
"Sam? Why are you wearing that discolored blue candy ring?" Daniel asked.
Sam smiled brightly and looked at Jack. "I'm engaged." She said, leaning into Jack. He kissed her forehead.
"A baby and a husband in one night!" Janet exclaimed, hugging Sam and Jack.
The baby started to cry and everyone was ushered out of the room except Janet and Jack so Sam could breastfeed. Daniel offered to buy breakfast for anyone interested, and along the way they picked up Teal'c. Gen. Hammond said he'd visit Sam later that day, after everything had calmed down.
…
After the visitors had left for the afternoon, and Siler had brought Sam's bag, Sam, Jack, and Rooster were left to enjoy their new baby girl. Her eyes were open and she was looking around at everyone with interest. Rooster sniffed her a couple of times, and once Sam had to ward off his tongue with her elbow. Jack was about to command the dog off of the bed when Roo settled down next to Sam, as if guarding her and the baby. "I was worried about how he'd take her." Sam said quietly.
Jack shook his head. "I knew he'd fall in love with her, just like he did you."
"You know, we really do owe him for bringing us together." Sam mused, watching her baby's eyes close slowly.
Jack hugged Sam to him. "Yeah. I was going to go out and get him a new bed this week." Jack looked down at the baby, then at Sam. "What're you going to name her?"
Sam smiled. "I was thinking about Shannon Amanda." She looked up at Jack. "In honor of Pete." She said quietly.
Jack nodded. "I like that. Shannon Amanda O'Neill."
"O'Neill? It's Shanahan." Sam teased.
"Shannon Shanahan? Are you trying to give her a complex?" Jack asked, elbowing her side.
Sam laughed quietly. She laid her head against his shoulder and they sat on the bed watching their baby girl sleep. Rooster laid his head on Sam's lap and sighed. She reached down and pet him with her free hand.
