Here you are, part 5. It's a little short and way overdue but college is harder at times than you think lol. I had to write a 10 page research paper. I didn't really want to and before I knew it the paper was due in 3 days. Oops. But I got it done and I really, really hope I did well on it… I really, really need to do well on it. Anyway, summer vacay is in 2 weeks so that is good for writing ;)

As always, Erin and Ali are rockin betas 

"So, Cassie," asked Jack "How does it feel to not be going back to school when it's August again?"

Cassie unrolled her sleeping bag and tossed it on the floor in the living room. "It feels really good actually, but also kinda weird."

Daniel and Teal'c were sitting in the living room watching something on TV while Jack and Cassie talked behind them. Amid the activity, Sam walked in the house and put her keys down.

"Hey, Sam," Cassie greeted with a wave.

"Hey, Cass," Sam replied.

Jack walked over to his wife. "Did the girls get settled alright?" he asked.

Jack and Sam were having a team night of sorts with Daniel, Teal'c and Cassie while the girls were sleeping over at Aunt Sara's house.

After the…incident of sorts at the park a couple months ago, Jack and Sam took the girls and decided to give Thor a visit. While he was pleased the girls were doing well he was surprised to find out that they had developed another ability. His technicians took blood samples from Jack, Sam, and the girls to research it further.

Sam gave Jack a quick kiss and answered his question "Yes, they were fine."

Cassie called Sam from the kitchen "Hey, Sam. Do you want to do a shot with me?" Jack still couldn't believe that Cassie didn't like beer but man did that girl like her vodka.

"Um, actually I think I'll pass. But can you grab me a Diet Pepsi?" Sam replied from her position on the couch.

A little perplexed Cassie asked Jack to do the shot with her. When they were done she grabbed the pop for Sam and a Smirnoff for herself and Jack plunked down on the couch next to Sam.

"Why no alcohol, Sam?" Cassie asked for everyone.

Sam looked at each of her friends with her eyes ending on Jack. With a big smile she told them "The girls are going to get their birthday present. A little late but they'll get it."

Cassie nearly dropped her bottle, Daniel's jaw dropped, Teal'c smiled and Jack was actually speechless. Cassie was first to recover and she squealed with excitement.

"Ohmygosh Sam!" she exclaimed.

Jack stared at Sam with a big smile on his face. "Really?" he asked.

Sam nodded breaking into a smile to match her husband's "Really. 5 weeks."

Jack put his hands on either side of Sam's face, pulled her closer and kissed her. After a few moments they broke apart laughing when they heard Teal'c say "As Cassandra would say, get to a room."

As soon as it was possible, Cassie lunged onto Sam and nearly strangled her with a hug then did the same to Jack. After hugs all around and the excited chatter stopped Sam spoke again.

"I don't want anyone else or the girls to know yet. Not for two more months," she told her friends. "A miscarriage is less likely after the third month and I don't really want to have to explain that to Grace and Madison."

Two months went by with no problems and the end of October brought the end of Sam's third month of pregnancy. She and Jack sat the girls down and told them the news.

"Gracie, Maddie, what did you say you wanted for your birthday?" Sam asked.

"A baby brother!" they exclaimed at the same time.

"Well mommy and I have something to tell you," Jack smiled.

"You will have a baby brother or sister in about six months," Sam told them.

"Why not for our birthday?" Grace asked.

Sam and Jack looked at each other. This is gonna be harder than they thought.

"Well the baby has to grow inside of mommy," Jack replied.

The girls looked confused "How?"

"Um," Sam leaned back in her chair trying to think how she and Jack could explain this to their daughters. "The two of you started out in mommy really, really little."

"Like this big?" Madison asked, holding her fingers about an inch apart.

"Even smaller than that," Sam told them like she was telling a dramatic story.

"Wow," Grace replied. "That's really little."

"Yes it is," Jack replied. "But then mommy and daddy decided we wanted a baby and the two of you started to grow."

"Inside mommy?" they twins asked.

"Yes. Inside mommy," Sam replied "You had to grow inside mommy for nine months. Well this baby has to grow, too. In about 6 months the baby will be big enough to come out like you two did."

"And then we can play with him?" Grace asked.

Jack smiled "Well the baby will be too little to play with for a while but you can help out mommy and daddy and when he gets bigger you can play with him."

"Ok," they replied. Then Madison asked "Will he be special like us?"

"We don't know yet," Jack replied "But probably, yes."

"Sweet," was the reply.
