A/N. Right so here's the final part to this series, set about a month after Sam and Jack first got together. Enjoy!

Maybe Baby?

"WHAT!" Sam exclaimed at her friend, "No, you have to be wrong, there's no way that this is happening!" Janet looked at Sam sympathetically hearing the note of pleading that the last part of the sentence had taken on.

"I'm sorry Sam, but these results are practically 100 conclusive, I had the lab triple check them before I even considered getting you in here"

"But Janet … I just can't be" she whispered, all rage now forgotten.

"Sam, you are pregnant, I know it's a shock but you have to decide what you're going to do, and I suggest you start by telling the father, whoever he is, he has a right to know"

Sam nodded her head and smiled slightly.

"I guess he'll be pleased at the idea of a baby but Janet I don't know if I'm ready to give up my career"

"You don't have to give up your career Sam, there are lots of women on this base who have children"

"Yeah I guess"

"Ok, well, I think you should go and talk to the father and make your minds up as to what you want to do before we discuss this any further huh?" she stood back as Sam jumped of the bed, "I'm putting you on downtime for the rest of the day so you can discuss this with Pete"

"Pete and I broke up about a month ago Janet, I told you, remember?" Janet frowned as she thought back to the passing conversation they had about it, remembering how shocked she was that Sam hadn't been more upset.

"Ah yes, but Sam who is the father then?" she asked.

"I think I should speak to him before I tell everyone" she dodged the subject and walked towards the door, "Thanks Janet, I'll see you tomorrow" and with that she was gone. When she got to her house she picked up the phone and dialled the familiar number and waited for him to pick up but he didn't and the answer phone interrupted.

"Hi, its only me, I have something I need to tell you so if you want to come round as planned tonight, ok well I'll speak to you later then, bye" she hung up and sighed. She hoped he would be happy but this had serious repercussions for both of them but she knew that whatever he decided tonight she was keeping the baby. She had wanted a baby for a while now and knew that despite the relationship that they were forced to conceal that she loved him and that he loved her but was that enough? Janet had thought that the reason she thought she had to give up her career was because of the baby and she was right in a way but it was mostly because one of them would now have to retire if they didn't want to face a court martial. She sighed again and decided to take a shower before he arrived.

Later that evening at eight, a truck pulled up in front of Sam's house and as she gave herself the final look over in front of the mirror she sub consciously gave a small prayer that he would want to stay in this relationship now. She opened the door as he walked up the path not being able to help but smile as she noticed what he was carrying.

"Happy secret one month anniversary" he grinned at her whilst holding up the new leather jacket she had been eyeing up at the store the other day when they were with the whole team. Jack O'Neill grinned in the way that told her that he knew that he'd hit the jackpot with that present. She stepped aside to allow him entry and then the moment the door was shut, he pulled her into his arms and kissed her soundly. "I love you Sam" he murmured. Sam grinned but her grin faltered as she remembered that she had something that she had to tell him.

"I love you too Jack and thanks so much for the Jacket but I thought we weren't getting presents"

"We weren't, but I saw you looking at that and couldn't resist" she smiled and fished out the small packet that was in her pocket.

"Good job I couldn't resist either" she gave him the small packet and he opened it eagerly.

"Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban! Wow that's awesome I've been wanting to get that for my game boy"

"I know, I still can't believe that you like Harry Potter"

"Hey Harry Potter is like the Simpson's, it's a classic and anyway you like it too" he accused teasingly.

"Yeah but I don't own the Harry Potter and the prisoner of Azkaban top trump cards"

"I had to order them off the internet you know, they weren't easy to get"

"Yeah I remember telling you after I had to track them down off Ebay when they weren't being sold from anymore" she teased him back gently. He took his jacket off and hung it up on the pegs in the hallway.

"So what was that message all about before?" he asked curiously as they walked into Sam's living room.

"Oh yeah, well I have something to tell you and I guess I should tell you right now" she said taking a deep breath. Jack sat down and pulled Sam down next to him and put his hand on her cheek, gently caressing the top of her cheek with his thumb. She took another deep breath and then finally said, "I don't know exactly how you'll react to this and I don't want you to feel as though you have to do anything, you really don't, I'm … pregnant Jack,"

"Pregnant" he repeated slowly.

"Yeah and I know it's a shock but …" she quickly began.

"You mean I'm gonna be a dad again! Sam that's fantastic news!" he kissed her passionately and Sam felt so relieved that he was happy about this.

"You're right Jack it is fantastic news but we do have to seriously think about what we're gonna do about the SGC" Jacks smile faltered slightly for the briefest second but then came back even brighter than before.

"I'll retire, honestly Sam, I don't mind anymore, I think it'd be great being a stay at home dad, you can stay at the SGC and build all the doohickeys that'll make the universe safe for our little baby" at this he settled his hand on Sam's stomach as gently as he could, "Come on Sam, I have you and this baby now, I really want to make a proper go at this, in fact, this has been burning a whole in my pocket for weeks, I was gonna do it tonight believe it or not so here goes," Jack gets down on one knee and smiles at Sam's widening eyes. "Sam will you marry me? Please?" he asks hopefully pulling out a beautifully diamond ring.

"You're not just asking me because I'm pregnant are ya?" she laughed and then said, "Of course I'll marry you, Jack" he smiled at this and then he slipped the ring on her finger, it fit perfectly. He stood up and pulled her up with him and then walked towards her room. Sam smiled and didn't try to fight him but she did say, "What about dinner?"

"I really need to work up an appetite first" he smirked, "I've been pushing paper all day" and that was the last coherent sentence for a good few hours.

Sam was lay on her back, when she woke up. She could hear a low voice speaking and for some reason she decided to keep her eyes shut and feign sleep. Jack was lay on his side with his head on Sam's breasts and his hand on her stomach.

"I don't mind if you're a boy or a girl, either way your mum and I love ya to pieces, if ya a boy then I'm gonna teach ya the finer points of baseball and fishin' and if ya a girl then trust me young lady no boy is ever gonna be good enough for you and if any guy ever breaks your heart then me, Uncle Danny and Uncle T will kick his ass, if ya are a girl then I hope to god you have your mum's eyes, either way I want you to have your mums brains and my sarcasm" Sam felt like crying because he was so sweet, he was talking to the kid already. She opened her eyes and sighed. Jack stopped mid sentence and lifted his head to look up at Sam. When he saw her awake he grinned guiltily at her.

"Hey you" she said softly and smiled back at him, lifting one of her hands behind her head and using the other to run her fingers through his short hair, "You hungry yet?" she asked.

"Starved!" he replied.

"Then lets ring for a pizza" she leaned down and kissed his lips briefly before sliding out from under his hand. As she pulled one of Jacks t-shirts over her head she turned to Jack and said to him, "Just for the record any daughters we have can date who they want" she smirked at his pouting expression.

"Fine but I still reserve the right to kick any guys ass who hurts my little girl" he sulked as he pulled his jeans on to follow Sam into the kitchen to get the menu, but Sam pulled him to her in a passionate kiss before they even made it past the door. They were both slightly breathless when they pulled apart.

"I wouldn't expect anything less" she smiled.

Sam was a nervous wreck the next day. Jack had written up a resignation letter on her PC the previous night as they waited for the pizza and had told her to lay low in her lab until he had finished his meeting with Hammond. She looked at her ring and her nervousness melted away. This man loved her and she loved him. No matter what happened with the regs they would be together now and openly so. She loved the thought of waking up next to Jack, in his arms everyday for the rest of her life. There was a noise at the door and Janet made her way into her friends lab noticing the ring that Sam was staring down at. She whistled, impressed and grabbed Sam's hand to look at the ring more closely.

"Wow Sam, I never knew Jack had so much taste" she smiled and winked at Sam's shocked face, "Oh come on, I'm your best friend, as dense as I might have acted about who this baby's daddy is I can decipher the 'this is gonna ruin my career' thing you had going on yesterday but by the looks of things Jack's taking the initiative huh?" she smiled again and continued, "I just came to tell you the first scan is next Wednesday, don't be late" she made her way back out of the room and out of sight. Yeah however this ended, she and Jack were gonna be ok. An hour later Jack wandered into the room and Sam looked expectantly at him.

"Sooo" he began drawling out the word, "How'd you feel about a Christmas wedding" handing her his new orders. Training specialist. Sam grinned, Christmas was only one and a half months from now, she would still fit in a dress!

The End!
