For everyone who reviewed, thanks! Please review, I love them. And I'll do my best to reply: D Here's the next chapter. I'm sorry I took so long to update – I had a couple of fics I really needed to get down on paper (or computer, lol) before I lost the ideas, and I was kinda suffering from writer's block on the ones in progress! Now that they're done, I will continue with the WIP's!

Jo – Well, here's more! I'm glad you liked it!

"I'm coming, I'm coming! Jesus, Jack, do you ever take your finger off the doorbell long enough to let someone answer it?" Janet yelled as she opened her door to the three men. Well, two men and an alien.

"But if I did that, I wouldn't annoy you nearly half as much Jan!"

"Yeah, yeah, yeah. Sam just went out to get some groceries, I told her you guys were coming. I didn't want to shock her – she's been through enough. Which means I've been left with the munchkins."

Jack was secretly glad Sam wasn't there. He wanted to meet his children, and he didn't want to let on that he knew they were his. That would have been difficult with Sam in close vicinity. Now, he could meet them and get accustomed to them before she got back. Although, to be honest, he was majorly nervous – these were his kids, fer cryin' out loud. And since Charlie… well, since Charlie, he had never expected to be blessed like that again. Now he had two, and a third on the way…

"Jack? May I present to you Grace and Jennifer Carter?" Janet came into the living room carrying two of the most beautiful blonde girls Jack had ever seen. They looked just like their mother. But their eyes… "They have his eyes."

"Whose?"

"Charlie's…they have Charlie's eyes. He had blue eyes. They're recessive in my family – my mom had blue eyes."

"Oh, Jack."

"They're beautiful. Hey, girls. I'm your Uncle Jack. And this is your Uncle Daniel, and your Uncle Teal'c." Jack hoped eventually, that he wouldn't be Uncle Jack, that he'd be Daddy. But he didn't know how Sam would feel about that, especially if the kids thought Shanahan was their Dad. Shanahan. God, the thought of his children calling that monster "Daddy" was almost too much for Jack to bear. He already wanted to kill him for hurting his Sam. If that man had laid as much as a finger on his children…

"Jan? I'm back!" The door slammed shut behind Sam as she walked in to Janet's house, carrying a large bag of groceries and two six-packs. "I bought beer!"

"Surely Colonel Carter, you should not be consuming alcoholic beverages if you are with child?" Teal'c's question resounded through the room, notifying Sam to their presence.

"Teal'c! Daniel! You came! And…Sir! You're all here!" Sam went rushing around the corner into the living room, skidding to an abrupt stop as she tried to control her enthusiasm at seeing her team-mates again. Jack had noticed her pause before she addressed him, and damn near winced as she called him 'sir'. But he managed to hide it, and instead distracted himself by pulling faces at the girl he held in his arms. Grace was ever the playful child, and was squirming around in his grasp, pulling faces and giggling at Jack. Jenny was more sedate, and was quite comfortable sitting in Teal'c's lap. Sam nearly burst out laughing at the sight of the huge Jaffa warrior sitting with a tiny little girl in his arms, cradling her. "I see you guys met. Gracie, Jenny, these are your uncle's Teal's, Jack and Daniel." Sam risked a sly glance at Jack, but he didn't appear to react to being referred to as Uncle. Good, he didn't know. "And Teal'c, I'm not intending to drink. The beer is for all of you guys. Trust me; with my best friend a doctor, I'm barely able to eat sweets now that I'm pregnant!"

"That is wise, Samantha Carter."

"So, what are we doing?" Janet asked as she came in from the kitchen, where she had prepared the food Sam had bought – popcorn, chips and dip, and a couple of bowls of various different candies for Jack, Sam and the kids. "DVD's?"

"I brought Finding Nemo – thought the kids might enjoy it." Jack piped up, not taking his adoring gaze away from the twins – Jenny having crawled into his lap to play with her sister. Sam's heart clenched at the sight of her children sitting in their daddy's lap. They looked so…right. She resolved that when all this was over and Pete was safely out of the picture she would tell Jack about the girls. It would most likely come out anyway, especially when her son was born.

"Finding Nemo, sir? I didn't know you had a penchant for children's films – I thought Daniel was the Disney obsessive."

"I'll have you know Finding Nemo had amazing reviews, and many adults enjoyed it. And fer cryin' out loud Carter, stop calling me sir. You retired nearly three years ago; I don't think you'll be court-martialled if you call me Jack."

Sam thought about this for a second. "Fine, sir... Jack. But, ONLY if you stop calling me Carter. Call me Sam."

"Fine…Sam. Anyway, Finding Nemo okay with everyone?" They all scrambled to find seats. Janet and Daniel curled up on the loveseat, and Teal'c took the armchair. This left Sam and Jack with the couch. After a slight pause, Jack picked up the girls and sat down with them on his lap. He then grabbed Sam's wrist, and pulled her down next to him. "This way, they can be near mommy but Uncle Jack has someone that will appreciate the film with him." Jack cracked, tickling the girls as they climbed all over him. Sam laughed, and sat down willingly.

After a minor hiccup at the beginning of Finding Nemo, where the girls started crying after Nemo's mom was eaten (Sam sat the girls down with her after that, although Grace crawled into Jack's lap halfway through the film), the film seemed to fly by. When it finished, Daniel and Janet went into the kitchen to "make coffee", and Teal'c left, claiming he had to return to the mountain as he was expecting a transmission from Ryac, whose new wife Kar'yn was due to give birth to their first child and day now. This left Sam and Jack alone in the living room with the girls. At first, they were occupied with Grace, who kept pulling Jack's hair, causing Sam to laugh and Jack to mutter incoherently under his breath at her. She wasn't sure what he was saying, but she could hazard a guess. But, when the girls calmed down, and curled up on top of Sam for a nap, Jack felt he needed to speak up.

"Sam? I think you and I need to talk."
