"Can I have one, please? Please Sam, I'll be a good boy." He did his best innocent expression.
"Sure, have a Tigger, he's the best." She smiled and walked to the check out.
Life on Hold part 4
The Tigger toy stayed on Sam's coffee table, mainly because Jack had forgotten it on purpose when he had gone into work the next day. Sam had insisted she would be all right on her own for a while, besides Janet had said she would pop over in the afternoon for a chat.
Janet arrived just after lunch; she had raised her eyebrows when she had caught sight of Tigger on the coffee table.
"It's the Colonel's." Sam said picking it up.
"The Colonel's? Isn't he a bit old, or more to the point, why is it here?"
"He forgot it when he went home last night then didn't want to take it to work this morning after he stopped by."
Janet raised her eyebrows again.
"What?"
"Well you aren't exactly under his chain of command anymore."
"Janet!" Sam cried throwing the toy at her.
"I was just saying." She smiled with a glint in her eye.
"Well don't just say it." Sam frowned. "Life is too complicated at the moment without you trying to set me up with him."
"I'm not trying to set you up with him, you two are doing that yourselves." Janet sat down next to her friend. "So what did you do yesterday?"
"We went to all the baby stores in the Springs, just to look. We saw Siler there..."
Sam described their day together; the smile on Janet's face was getting bigger and more mischievous as Sam came to an end.
"Well seems like you two had a great time."
"Apart from when I was sick and Jack actually took me into the ladies toilets. No, that was quite funny come to think about it."
"Oh, so its Jack now is it?"
"I guess." Sam smiled to herself; things were looking better and better.
The phone rang and Sam answered.
"Oh hello Sir."
Janet poked Sam who slapped her away.
"Yes, she's here...okay. Yes, I'm fine...of course I ate lunch. See you later...bye." She hung up.
"What did the lovely Colonel want?"
"He wanted to know if you were here, Hammond is sending SG3 and SG1 minus Daniel, back to the planet to find out what happened."
"When?"
"Tomorrow, they all need their physicals early in the morning."
"Great," She sighed. "Teal'c is the only one out of that lot who doesn't complain about the needles or having cold hands or whatever."
Sam smiled. "What's Daniel like then?"
"Oh he normally goes bright red when asked to take off his pants or his shirt, almost always asks for a repeat prescription of antihistamines and another pair of glasses."
"Least he knows what's wrong with him." Sam grinned. "So what am I like?"
"You're the only one who takes it like a man."
----------------------------
Sam opened the door to see Daniel standing on her porch.
"Hey Daniel, come in." She smiled and stepped back to let him in.
"Hey Sam, how are you feeling now?" He smiled and gave her a one armed hug.
"I'm alright, want a coffee?" She asked walking into the kitchen.
"Sure."
"So what brings you here?" She smiled as she set his coffee onto the table next to the Tigger toy Daniel was eyeing suspiciously.
"Well I thought you could do with some company, Teal'c and Jack being off world and all."
Sam smiled. "You are always welcome Daniel."
"Aren't you having a coffee?" He asked noticing the one-cup.
"Uh, no. I need to tell you something Daniel." She clasped her hands together and looked at them.
"What is it?"
"Well, no one has told you this yet, you aren't the last to know or anything but, I'm being taken off active duty."
"What? Why Sam?" He took her hand.
"Because, well the reason I've been ill the last couple of weeks is that I'm pregnant."
"Congratulations Sam, who's the lucky guy?" Daniel said a bit shocked, make that a lot shocked.
"Uh, there's the problem. It must have happened on our last mission so..."
"Ah."
"Yeah."
"Who knows?"
"Janet, the General, the Colonel and you now. I have to tell Teal'c and Cassie before the rest of the base catches on."
"Oh Sam, this must be really confusing and scary for you." Daniel put an arm around her.
"It is, I mean everyone has been really good about it but they don't understand, they can't. I have this baby growing inside me that is going to change my life and I have no control over it." Sam cried into his shoulder.
"I can't honestly say that I know what you are going through, but I know you Sam. You are one of the most brilliant people I know; once you put your mind to something you do it. You'll be a great mum, trust me."
"Thanks Daniel."

"So O'Neill, you remember anything yet?" The leader of SG3 asked as they walked away from the 'gate.
"No, where did you find us? That'd be a good place to start." He asked scanning the area.
The two SG1 members followed SG3 to a clearing in the sparse forest. There was a man in blue robes sitting in what looked like meditation.
"Uh, excuse me..." Jack started.
The man's eyes shot open and widened with surprise at seeing them. He got up quickly and made a move to run away.
"I wouldn't do that if I were you." Jack aimed his gun at the man's head.
"Hello one called O'Neill." The man bowed his head nervously. "And the one called Teal'c."
"And you are?"
"The one called Kitok." The man bowed again.
"What did you do to us last time we were here?" Jack demanded.
"I did nothing to you."
"Who did then?"
"You were given the forgetting juice, we did not want to be discovered so we gave it to you." The man said hurriedly.
"What did you do to Carter?"
"Carter?" The man looked perplexed. "There was only you both, the one called Daniel and the one called Samantha."
"Fine, what did you do to Samantha?" Jack said annoyed.
The small man blushed. "We do not have what you call women in this place, we did not know what she was."
"What did you do to her?" Jack was shouting now.
"Come I will show you." The man said turning on his heels and walking off into the undergrowth.
"Sure, have a Tigger, he's the best." She smiled and walked to the check out.
