Okay, I know the last chapter was kind of crap but I don't know where the hell this story I leading and am finding it hard to think of things for some reason-I have writers block!!!
Thank you all for the reviews-you are all brilliant!
"Good. Congratulations, I don't think I've said that yet."
"Thanks Jake." Jack smiled then followed Sam to the hall to greet the visitors.
Life on Hold part 8
Sam yawned and laid her head on Jack's shoulder. Teal'c and Daniel had just left-the last two to leave-and Sam was exhausted.
"Come on you, its bed time." Jack smiled stroking the hair out of her face.
"Can't we just stay here?" She asked sleepily.
"No, because you'll get testy when you wake up with a bad neck tomorrow." He kissed the top of her head. "The sooner we get to bed, the sooner you can go to sleep."
Jack managed to get the sleepy Major up the stairs, changed and into the bed. He changed himself then crawled under the covers next to her.
"Goodnight Sam." He whispered and kissed her on the forehead; she was already fast asleep.
Jack was happy, really truly happy for the first time in a long while. He had Sam, for which he thanked whoever was out there listening for everyday. He had a little son or daughter on the way, his second chance at being a good father. He had his friends-his team, the Doc, Cassie and Hammond. He smiled as he remembered that evenings events.
Daniel and Teal'c had arrived after Jacob bringing with them wine and a bottle of orange juice for 'the bump'. It was a standing joke that Sam was off the coffee and onto the orange juice, which she swears has as much of a kick as caffeine.
Janet and Cassie had arrived not long after, followed by George. They talked about possible baby names, the things they still need for the baby and what was going on in everyone's lives.
"So how's Patrick Cassie?" Daniel asked.
"Patrick? Catch up Daniel-I dumped him last week." Cassie laughed.
Daniel looked perplexed. "Who is it now then?"
"Tom." Jack said.
"No, Tom was the week before." Sam grinned. "There isn't anyone this week."
"Why Cass?" Janet asked with a smirk.
"Because men are all bas..." Jack who was nearest clamped his hand over the fifteen year olds mouth.
"Where did you learn language like that Cassandra Fraiser?" George asked with a sly smile.
"Over hearing some of Sam and Mom's conversations." She grinned.
Sam and Janet went red, the men all started at them with questioning looks.
"What?" They asked.
Jack shook his head. "What is the world coming to?" He got a slap on the arm for that from Sam.
"Anyway, does anyone want another drink?" Janet asked glancing at Daniel who was watching the last drop of red wine circling the bottom of his glass.
"Sure." The archaeologist smiled.
"I believe you have had enough Daniel Jackson." Teal'c stated from his spot on the couch.
"Oh really? You believe?"
"Indeed."
Daniel nodded. "Okay, I'll steal some of Sam's OJ."
Daniel was such a lightweight; mind you he did drink the most. Jack mused before finally joining his girlfriend in the land of nod.
Three days later, Jack walked through the Stargate and down the ramp glad to be home. He smiled up at the control room where Hammond was standing. He'd just spent three boring days babysitting a science team on a very boring planet while they took very boring samples of very boring soil.
"Colonel O'Neill to the briefing room immediately."
Jack frowned; he handed his pack and weapons over to the SF's then preceded to the briefing room. Hammond was already sitting there with his hands clasped together on the table and Teal'c was standing behind a chair.
"Take a seat son." Hammond said.
"What's going on General?"
"Major Carter is missing." Teal'c said to get to the point.
"What?"
"The forensic team found nothing at your house. According to one of the neighbours, Major Carter got into her car and left around 8.30 Saturday morning." He explained.
"That's over 48 hours." He said in disbelief.
Daniel rushed into the room.
"The police have found Sam's car in a parking lot outside the fitness centre 2 blocks from your house." He said.
Jack ran his hands through his hair; Sam had been to the antenatal class at the fitness centre. She said she'd be fine without him there, how wrong she was.
"Anything else?"
"No witnesses."
"We have no jurisdiction outside this facility, Colonel." Hammond said.
"I know. We can still look, can't we?" He asked annoyed.
-----------------------
Sam frowned; the last thing she remembered was people grabbing her from behind outside the fitness centre. She tried to open her eyes but the light was too bright, she tried again and looked around. She was in some kind of hospital, she tried to sit up but found that she was strapped to the bed.
"Good morning Major." A doctor said walking into the room.
"What's going on, where am I?" She asked confused.
"In a hospital."
"What happened?" Her thoughts went to the baby; she didn't want anything to be wrong with her baby.
"We just need to run a few tests."
"What tests, why am I restrained?" She asked as the doctor walked closer with a syringe in his hand.
Something wasn't right about this, why was she in a hospital, strapped to the bed and with no one else around?
The man injected the contents of the syringe into her IV line as she struggled to stop him.
"No! Stop! No!" She cried before blanking out again.
--------------------
Back at the SGC, Jack was leaving the mountain when Daniel caught up with him.
"How do you know Maybourne will understand the message you left on the website?"
"Because this is Maybourne we're talking about, besides he has nothing better to do." Jack sighed. "I'm going to drop my National Geographic off to the homeless guy that answered my questions, bump into Maybourne and we'll go from there, okay?"
"Sure, see you later." Daniel said walking back towards the lift to continue his research.
-------------------------
Jack was sat in his truck in the fitness centre's parking lot. He was thinking about what Maybourne had said.
"You gotta prepare yourself for the possibility that she might not be coming back."
His voice echoed around in Jack's head. He couldn't live without Sam; it wasn't an option. Why did all the bad things have to happen when they were so happy together, starting a family? He tried to block out all the bad thoughts that wanted to take him over the edge and hit speed dial on his phone for Hammond's office.
