3. Revelation
Her'ak kept on staring at Jack full of disgust.
"What do you want here?" he snapped simmering with anger.
Sam who was still seated on the bed intervened, stretching out a hand to touch his shoulder, "Her'ak", she said softly, "I haven't told him."
The Jaffa was roused, "You haven't told him what ?"
"That...", Sam hesitated, obviously pondering if it was the right time to say what she was about to say. Jack's eyes dwelled on her full of anxious expectation.
Finally she sighed turning to Her'ak, "Just give us five minutes, all right?"
"No", he protested, "I'm not thinking of it. What if he hurts you?"
Jack glared at him, "Who do you think I am?", he growled, "It's my last intention to do such thing."
"Shut up, you..." Her'ak reached out to beat him, but Sam clutched his arm eyeing him closely.
"Please", she pleaded quietly.
Fuming he drew away from her, indeed turning to leave. "Five minutes", he pressed, "and not a second longer."

"At least you've got him running on your leash", Jack sighed dropping down next to her on the bed.
Sam sniffled away another tear, "It's because he loves me that much."
"Love?" he bit his lip, "Didn't picture this guy to feel something like that at all."
"Her'ak isn't that icy after all. He can be really passionate."
"So", Jack rolled his eyes, "But how in hell did the two of you get together at all?"
"It doesn't matter any more", Sam returned sadly.
Slowly Jack was losing his patience, "It does matter to me."
"If you knew", she said softly, "You would kill me."
"What?" he could not stand hearing these words out of her mouth, "This can't honestly be you opinion on me..."
"I have been unfaithful to you", she was almost crying now.
"Yes, you were", Jack stated plainly.
Sam turned her gaze away from him. "But you don't know how unfaithful I've been."
"What the heck have you done, Sam?" he questioned in a stirred way.
She withdrew even further from him now before she continued to speak:
"We had sex, Jack..."
"And else? Oh, come on, Sam, there's more", he returned sensing her growing unease.
"I...", she broke up, her voice a mere whisper.
"You?" Jack drew closer toward her putting an arm around her shoulders, "It's okay, you can tell me, honest, I won't be mad."
Again she sniffled sadly, "Listen, Jack", she paused gathering herself, "I'm pregnant with his kid."

Thanks for the info on the missing separation marks. I had to think of new ones, because obviously the signs I used before are no longer shown on the site.
And this is still a pairing S/J story. For more detail wait for the weekend to read chapter 4.
Don't be sad when you won't read posts from me next week. I won't get much of a chance to get on the net till the week after Father's Day or so. Got vacation and I dunno where I'll be staying by then.
CU soon. Thank you pretty much for the reviews so far.
