On the other side of the door, Samantha Carter-O'Neill stood, holding two pizza boxes. She smiled sheepishly and said, "Will bribery get me in the door?"

Cassie sighed and shook her head in exasperation, "Sure Sam. It's just that I have a few friends coming over and…."

Sam took the hint as she came in and passed the boxes to her niece, "Oh, I'm not going to be staying, I just wanted to tell you something." She paused, "You're going to be the first to know. I haven't even told Jack yet."

The young woman ushered her into the living room and to the sofa. "Spill!"

Sam smiled at her niece and whispered, "I'm pregnant."

Cassie squealed in delight and hugged Sam with all of her might. "I'm going to be an auntie!" She cried in joy.

Martha came into the living room at the end of this conversation. Since she had met Sam and Jack at their wedding, she knew some of the history behind the two. She grinned, happy that Sam was going to have a baby, "Congratulations, Mrs. O'Neill."

Sam grinned back at the young girl, "Cassie, I can barely breath." When the woman finally let go of her aunt, Sam continued, "Thank you, Martha. It's a very exciting thing."

Realizing that Cassie was going to have friends over, Sam continued. "Well, I just wanted you to know that Cassie, so you can use it as leverage when trying to find out what happens tonight with her and Daniel." She smiled again, "Now I have to go tell Jack."

As Sam walked to her car, Cassie whispered to Martha, "Wow, this night just keeps getting more and more memorable."

Martha looked at her friend, "What do you mean?"

"Well, Daniel's going to propose to my mom tonight. I even helped him pick out the ring." She sighed, "And now I find out that Sam's going to have a baby! I hope everything continues on this path."

Now was Martha's turn to sigh as she patted Cassie on the back and led her back into the house, "Well, if it does, one or both of us will be saying yes to the same question your mom is saying yes to."

"I know, I've been dating Alex for two years now, and things got real serious a few months ago. I just hope he's really ready for that kind of commitment."

"Come on, we're no were near ready and the guys are suppose to be here any minute!"

Cassie laughed as she started putting together bowls of chips and fruit trays. There was a lot of food for four teenagers, but they had no intentions of eating it all.

Just as the girls set the last bowl on the table, and had both pizzas out with them, the doorbell rang a second time. Cassie opened the door to reveal the two men they had been preparing for - Alex Wittenberg and Jessie Longsfort. Let the fun begin, she thought mischievously as she let them in.

A/N: Well, I hope you liked it. Review please! I really want to hear what you think of my writing. Oh, yeah, if you have any ideas about what should happen, please tell me, like I've said with my other story and the last chapter on this one: The Muse is out of town, I must find a substitute and reviews are that substitute.
