A/N: I'm SO sorry this took so long to post. Anyone who didn't see the note I posted, basically life has been so amazingly hectic I haven't been able to sit and write anything at all until this week. Again, sorry sorry sorry! I did try for some angst in this chap, but I couldn't do it to them, so I'm sorry if it's a little too fluffy - I hope I got the balance right! And there will be some angst soon, so I suggest that the next time I post you have a box of tissues ready! I will be posting at least every other week from now on, although I'm aiming for once a week...

Disclaimer: Don't own them, yadda yadda yadda. I own the kids though.

For everyone who reviewed, thankyou! For the record, the girls are a little over 2. (I think...)

Trunksblue - I know, Disney is evil! And they like their one-parent families - Snow White, Cinderella, Nemo, Bambi, Ariel... the list is endless. Did you know Mufasa in the Lion King is the only Disney character that's ever died on screen though? I'm glad you liked the way Jack was with the girls, grins.

Sam looked expectantly at Jack. It had been nearly three minutes now since he said he thought they needed to talk, and he hadn't said a word since. Her initial fear was gradually being replaced by curiosity, and ever-so-slight annoyance. If he wanted to talk, and she could probably hazard a guess about what even though she had asked that no-one tell him, then he would damn well talk.

"Sir…Jack? I thought you wanted to talk?" Damn it, she couldn't make her way past this problem of calling him Jack.

"I know, Sam. It's just… difficult to figure out exactly what I'm gonna say, that's all." How did he tell this woman, the woman he loved, that he knew all her secrets? How could he sit here calmly and try to figure out a way to keep her in his life? He didn't know where to begin. Luckily, Sam did.

"Look, Jack, I'm just going to come right out and say it. I have a pretty good feeling that one meddling archaeologist doesn't know when to shut up, am I right? Yes, the twins are yours. Yes, the baby is yours. No, Pete doesn't know, although I think he suspects. And yes, I left him. Anything else?"

The calm exterior that she held was a total façade. Inside, Sam's stomach was doing back flips, front flips, and probably held every possible species of butterfly. But she knew that if she showed any emotion here, she'd probably break down into uncontrollable tears. She just prayed that Daniel hadn't told Jack why she left Pete. She really didn't want Jack to think of her as the woman she had been for the past three years. She wanted him to remember the Sam she had been, not know the woman who had let this man make her into nothing. Because, if Jack saw her that way, then maybe she could see herself that way as well.

"Sam, I don't know what to say to you. I just… Why didn't you tell me? No, I know that. How could you think I wouldn't want to know? What the hell made you decide that I would feel burdened by you! I mean, would you have let these kids grow up without EVER telling me?" By now, Jack was nearly yelling and the girls were stirring. Sam hurriedly led him out of the room, calling Janet in to keep an eye on the girls as they slept.

"Look, Jack, you're angry and you have every right to be. But did it ever occur to you that I had good intentions? I would have told you one day. I know it's not an excuse, but I would never have let them grow up without knowing their daddy, I just…" At this point, Sam broke. Her carefully placed exterior was almost non-existent, and she couldn't take it any more. The yelling combined with her emotions and her pregnancy hormones caused her to break down into floods of tears. "I just…sob… didn't think I …hic… could handle it …sob… ifyouturnedawayfrommeeeee…" The last words came out so fast that Jack nearly didn't understand them, but as they sank in, his anger cleared at once. "Oh, Sam, no! I would never turn away from you. God, I care about you so much, how could you ever think that?" Deciding it was wise to shut up, as he was dangerously close to either going down on one knee and declaring his undying love for her or grabbing her and kissing her senseless until all her tears were long forgotten, neither of which he thought were appropriate at the moment, he settled for pulling her close in a hug and rocking her slowly until she calmed down.

"Sam, you know I care about you too much to ever hurt you like that. I'm just upset that you thought I wouldn't do everything I could for you and our babies…"Jack tailed off. Sam looked up at him? "Jack?"

"Wow. Our babies. Wow. I mean, I knew before, but it's now really sinking in that we have kids. Wow. Just… wow."

Sam laughed. "Yes Jack, we have two beautiful girls and a boy on the way. You've met the girls, would you like to meet your son?" Without waiting for a reply, Sam took his hand and placed it on her stomach. "He's not old enough yet to kick, but still…" Jack sat there with his mouth open. Sam giggled to herself, and smiled at him "So. What ever are we going to call him? I figured, I got the girls, so you can name him. On one condition."

"Yeah?" Jack said, absentmindedly, still concentrating on her stomach and marveling at the miracle inside that was his second son. He'd never thought, after Charlie…

"No names from the Simpsons." Sam deadpanned.

"Yeah, sure, you betcha!" Jack flashed Sam his patented cheeky grin, the one that made him look innocent and devilish all at the same time. Sam felt her stomach flip. 'Oh, Lord, what have I gotten myself into?'

Meanwhile, in a jail cell somewhere…

"Det. Pete Shanahan? Seems someone finally posted your bail…" Pete stood up, and walked slowly out of the cell, looking into the face of the person who was outside it.

"Well it's about damn time. Now that bitch and those little brats of hers will finally get what's coming to her."

"Well, Mr. Shanahan, you can have Samantha Carter. But the children, and the child inside her, I'm afraid, belong to us…"
