Ok, so here's part 7. Thanks for the reviews and enjoy.

"Cassie, what are you doing?" Grace asked when she saw her furiously writing all sorts of different things in a notebook.

"I'm trying to organize a baby shower we're going to have next month for your mommy," Cassie replied.

"Oh," the small girl replied then she and her sister hopped off the chairs they were on and went in search of their dog.

"Gracie, what's a baby's shower?" Madison asked Grace.

"I dunno, Maddie. Maybe they give the baby a shower," speculated Grace.

Madison crinkled her nose in a way only little kids can and thought for a minute "But Cassie said they're gonna have it next month. Daddy said that mommy's not gonna have the baby for 5 more months." The two thought for a few minutes then Madison suggested "Maybe the baby comes out and takes a shower with mommy then goes back in 'til its time to be borned."

"That has to be it," Grace agreed. They went into their dad's office to find Chloe asleep in her dog bed.

"Hi daddy," they said in unison.

"Hey girls, what have you been up to?" he asked, looking up with the dreaded paperwork.

"Nothing," replied Madison.

Grace asked "Did mommy have a baby's shower for us, too?"

"She sure did, why?" he replied, a little confused at the random subject

"'Cause Cassie said she was trying to organzize one," Madison replied, "and it sounds fun."

"Uncle Danny, guess what!" yelled the girls as they ran into Daniel's office.

"What?" he asked just as enthusiastically.

"It's our birthday!" They told him while jumping up and down.

"I know! Happy birthday, girls," he wished them before they launched themselves into his arms. "I have presents for you two."

------------------------------------

"Dr. Brightman, guess what!" asked Grace and Madison in the same fashion as they did Daniel.

"What?" she asked, playing along. Everyone on base knew it was the twins' birthday.

"It's our birthday today!" they yelled happily.

The doctor smiled at their excitement "Happy birthday. How old are you today?"

"Three," they replied simultaneously while each holding up three fingers.

-------------------------------------

They continued like that with Teal'c, Cassie, Siler, Davis, and Walter. Each time they got a present. From Daniel they got archeologist hats and matching bracelets, from Dr. Brightman they got a teddy bear, from Teal'c he gave them a customary gift for the third birthday – a board game (what do you expect? They're on earth). Cassie gave them each a new Barbie, and Siler, Davis, and Walter gave them various toys.

After visiting each person they went to show Jack and Sam what they had gotten. No, the twins didn't have a birthday party; they had a birthday-run-around-the-base-to-get-their-presents-from-people-then-have-cake-at-lunchtime.

"Mommy, you're tummy is bigger," Grace observed from where she and Madison were sitting on the couch.

Sam was cleaning up a little bit before she put in the movie she and the girls were going to watch.

"That's because the baby is growing inside me," she told them. Sitting between them, she took one of their hands and put them on her five-and-a-half month pregnant belly where their brother was kicking. "Do you feel that?"

The girls both squealed and giggled at the new feeling. "That is your brother, moving around."

"Mommy?" asked Grace.

"Yes, Gracie?" she replied.

"The baby's shower was yesterday right?" she asked.

"Yes," Sam replied, not sure of where this was going. But then you never can be sure of where anything is going with two three year olds.

"And all that happened was a party?" she questioned, confused. Earlier in the day, Jack was putting together a few of the presents they got from the baby shower.

Sam nodded, "Yes. What did you think it was?"

Madison answered "We thought the baby's shower was where the baby came out an' took a shower with you an' then went back in 'til it was time for him to be borned."

Sam laughed "No, I can see how you two would think that but a baby shower is a party where the mommy's friends get her presents for the baby."

"You mean like a birthday party?" Madison asked, her eyes lighting up.

"Sort of, yeah," answered Sam.

"Oohhhh," the girls said in understanding.

Sam smiled and laughed to herself before starting the movie.

"What's that?" Grace asked. She and Madison were watching the screen as Dr. Brightman did the ultrasound.

"That's his head," replied the doctor. She moved the wand and heard another 'what's that?' "Those are his arms."

"They're so little," Madison said.

"The baby has to be little at first so that he can come out of your mommy. At this point your mommy is 28 weeks or 7 months along, this is about as big as your brother will be when he is born," Dr. Brightman told not just the twins but Jack, Daniel, and Teal'c as well who were attending the ultrasound.

The girls once again intently watched the screen. The doctor got further down and at the same time they asked "What's that?"

"That, girls, is what makes your brother a boy," was the reply as Jack and Daniel chuckled and Teal'c smiled solemnly.

--------------------------------------

Later that day, Sam was working in her lab when she felt something like her stomach hiccup. She put her hand on her stomach and waited to see if she would feel it again. When she did she laughed. She got up and headed to her husbands office.

She knocked on the door and went in when she heard 'enter'.

"Oh, hey. What's up?" He asked, looking up from some paperwork.

"I think the baby has hiccups. I wanted to see if you still had that book," Sam told him.

"Oh yeah," Jack replied. He went into a drawer and pulled out one of the pregnancy books they got when Sam was pregnant with the twins. He handed her the book and she sat down, going to the index. Jack watched as she flipped to the pages and skimmed until she found what she was looking for and read aloud what she found.

"To prepare for breathing after birth, your baby will mimic respiratory actions by moving the diaphragm over and over again rhythmically. But if amniotic fluid is accidentally inhaled, your baby could end up with a bad case of the hiccups! You'll feel these but need not worry about it."

"Do you think I could feel it?" Jack asked, amused that his unborn son had hiccups.

"I don't know. You could try," she replied.

Jack learned in Sam's 8th month that if he whistled a certain way, the baby would respond by kicking. One Saturday afternoon Grace and Madison were playing with their dollhouse in one corner of the living room while Jack and Sam sat on the couch partly watching the Simpsons (yes, partly). It was an episode Jack had seen a bazillion times and he got bored.

He decided to play with the baby. He whistled and the baby kicked. He laughed and Sam just shook her head.

After doing it a few more times Madison finally said "He doesn't like that, daddy."

Sam and Jack looked over at their daughters and asked "what?"

"He doesn't like that," said Grace this time.

"How do you know, sweetie?" Sam asked, brow furrowed.

As if it were common knowledge they replied "He told us."

"He told you?" Jack asked.

"He didn't really say he didn't like it, he kinda showed us," Madison explained as best she could.

Jack simply smiled and said "Sweet!"

End of part 7

Please review and give me names for the baby. I was kind thinking of Jacob (Jake) but ya still need a middle name. Also, if you review, you get to see what ability the baby has ;)

The quote Sam read from the 'book' was actually taken from a website, http/ and if you ever want to know just what happens every week of a pregnancy you can go there and wow. Its cool.
