On the other side of the door, Daniel and Teal'c were holding as many grocery bags as possible without breaking an arm.

"Gee, Space monkey, did you get enough stuff?" Jack asked sarcastically.

Daniel glared at him, "Oh, I don't know. I could tell you if I could come in."

Jack smiled sarcastically, "Come in then, wouldn't want you boys to catch a cold."

"Yes, mother," Daniel responded, equally sarcastic.

Sam snorted as she took a bag from Teal'c, "No, Space monkey, that's my name."

"Yeah, sorry, I kinda forgot about that."

"Forgot? How could you forget? It's my freakin' baby shower!"

"Sorry, Sam."

"It's okay. As long as the three of you look after my little babies for me while I have a party, I'm fine."

Jack whined, "Why do you get to have a party while I have to watch the twins?"

"Because you run the base and if we were both gone today, you know something would happen that required my attention. I'm four months pregnant, Jack! I need to relax as much as I can."

"Alright, have fun with your friends."

"I wouldn't call all of them 'friends' as I think Lt. Crowell will be here." Sam looked her husband in the eye, "And you know how much she likes you."

"Yeah, sure."

They were silent for a few minutes as they got everything ready for the shower. It was almost 0930 and Cassie hadn't shown up yet for the 1200 baby shower. "Daniel? Where's Cassie?" Sam asked.

Daniel squinted at his watch and sighed, "She's probably stuck in traffic."

"She's staying at my old house. That isn't fifteen minutes from here," Sam said confusedly.

There was a sound from the porch. "Or she's hiding out on the porch, waiting for someone to find her," Daniel added.

Sam chuckled and turned to Jack, giving him a peck on the check. "Well, the five of you better get going, I'm going to get Cassie." She knelt down and gave a quick hug to her son and daughter. "Be good for Daddy, Uncle Danny and Uncle T, you two. Have fun."

"Have fun Mommy," they responded simultaneously.

Jack kissed Sam swiftly on the lips before heading out the door to Teal'c's SUV that blocked Jack's truck in.

"Bye guys! Have fun!" Sam called from the doorway.

"Bye Mom!" Jack called teasingly as he got in the back seat with the twins.

Cassie giggled at Jack's antics and gave Sam a hug, a white gift bag in her hand.

"Come in, Cassie. How was your first semester of college?"

Cassie followed Sam inside the house and put her bag down on the dining room table, by the sign that said, "Gifts."

"It was okay, I guess. You don't know how ecstatic I was when Daniel called me and told me you guys got married. I was just thrilled when I got the call saying that you were pregnant again. You don't know how upset I was that I couldn't be here last time."

"That's alright Cass, I know that you wanted to be here. That's why I got Jack to pull some strings and get you to take your finals early – so you could be here."

Cassie grinned, "Great! Now, let's get this party set up."

At 1100 hundred hours, the house was decorated, and everything was set up. They were expecting roughly fifteen to twenty guests and were set to feed thirty. Cassie was in awe that Sam had had the guys get so much food, and then she remembered that four of the expected guests were expecting.

"So, Cassie, how's it going?" Sam asked as they sat down and turned on the radio to Cassie and Sam's favorite station.

Cassie became suddenly engrossed in her fingernails. "Not much really, Sam. Just class and work."

Sam eyed her niece suspiciously, "One, why are you working when Jack gave you a credit card where you can charge all of your expenses? And two, why do you suddenly look like your fingernails can talk to you?"

Cassie remained silent.

"Is it a boy?"

"Well…. um…maybe."

"Cassie."

"Okay, fine! Yes, it's a boy! I have a boyfriend."

Sam grinned, pleased with herself, "Well, now that I know the truth – is he cute? What's his name?"

"His name is Michael Shepard. And, he's not just cute – he's hot."

"More of a Sean Connery or a Justin Timberlake?"

"Hmmm, more of a Johnny Depp really."

"So, how old is he?"

"He's twenty-two."

"Sweet."

Cassie laughed, "You've been spending way too much time around Jack."

"Well, he is my husband!"

The two laughed at this and started talking about how things had been going with both of them through the last year. Cassie had taken a tour of the French countryside with some friends and had only gotten back in time to enroll in the fall term at the college in Denver where she was studying to become a surgeon. Mike was also a pre-med student and because they had similar schedules, it was easier for them to date.

Their conversation was interrupted half an hour later by the doorbell. Cassie got up to answer it and was greeted by a very anxious John. "Oh, hey, Cassie. Is Sam around?"

Cassie was awestruck, as she had never met the clone and he seemed to know exactly who she was. "Uh, who are you?"

"D'oh! I forgot that they didn't tell you. Sam! Tell Cassie it's okay to let me in!"

Sam recognized the voice instantly and yelled back, "Hey John! Cassie, it's okay, let him in!"

Cassie reluctantly let the eighteen year old clone pass, not knowing who he was, only that Sam trusted him.

"Hey, Sam," John said as he put his gift down on the table by Cassie's and Teal'c and Daniel's. He enveloped her in a hug and placed a hand on her stomach. "Wow, it's so amazing, two years ago I don't think any of us dreamed this day possible."

Sam smiled at him, and then turned to Cassie, "I guess you want to know whom you just let into my house?"

Cassie nodded, speechless.

"This is Jack's clone, commonly referred to as 'Mini-me' and 'John'."

John smiled, "I already know you because I have all of Jack's memories prior to being 'made' almost three years ago."

Cassie was dumbstruck. She seemed to be in a trance and was only brought back to reality by the doorbell ringing again. This time, when she answered it, she was greeted by a mini-Sam.

"Hey, Cassie!" Chloe said cheerfully as she pushed her way into the house. She stopped dead in her tracks when she saw John. "So, you're Jack's clone."

"And you're Sam's."

Chloe dropped her gift on the table and raced into John's waiting arms. They stood there, in the middle of the room for long minutes, just holding one another and soaking in what it all meant.

"Okay, is there a clone for every member of SG-1, or just you two?" Cassie asked seriously.

Sam laughed as Chloe hid her face in John's shoulder. "Just me and Jack, Cass. Just me and Jack."

A/N: Well, there's another chapter for all of my readers. And just for the sake of repetition: if you review, I'm more likely to update sooner and with chapters around this length - or longer.
