A couple of weeks later on June 1:

Sam and Jack were sitting in their living room, looking over their list of baby names.

"I think it would be cute to have a little Jackie."

"Sam, I don't want to give a girl a name like Jack."

She sighed. "Listen, I just want our first child named after you: boy or girl."

He chuckled, sarcastically. "If only you'd told Dr. Johnson to tell us the child's gender . . ."

She laughed, "Oh, and you didn't tell me right before that you wanted it to be a surprise or anything."

He shrugged. "What was I supposed to do? You had been moaning about how I wanted too many guarantees."

She placed the pad of paper down. "All right. How about if it's a girl, we call her Jacqueline and if it's a boy, we name him Samuel. That way, we're both partially satisfied."

Jack shrugged. "Okay."

The grandfather clock that Sam had inherited from her dad, struck the four-thirty hour, and Jack got up.

"All right, time to go."

She looked at Jack. "Listen, Jack, I've been thinking. I don't really want to go anywhere right now. I'm kind of tired."

He held out his hand to help her up. "Sam, I told Daniel we'd be there at five, and at five, we'll be there."

She reluctantly complied, placing her hand in his. "Fine. We'll go, but then, I get a back massage. Ugh, it's killing me."

She got up, and placed her hands on her lower back. "Remind me of this next time we even think about having another kid. We're definitely adopting."

He laughed. "Uh huh."

He helped her into the car, and drove to Daniel's house, only ten minutes away. As they walked up to the door and rang the doorbell, they were met with a huge crowd.

"Surprise!"

Everybody from the base was there, and Sam felt touched. She looked around Daniel's house. She'd always seen it as a bachelor pad for the archaeologist, but suddenly, she could tell that Cassie and Janet had been there recently. There were balloons and streamers and all kinds of decorations. As she and Jack walked into the living room, she saw a banner that read: "Welcome little O'Neill."

She laughed, and Jack squeezed her hand. "I still have my bets on a baby Sam." He joked.

Daniel turned to Sam. "And I bet you have your bets on a little Jack, huh?"

She winked at him. "You better believe it."

SG-1

The party ended just before seven, and Sam's back pain had gotten increasingly worse. She stayed next to Jack, and as they sat down to visit with Janet, Daniel, Teal'c, and Cassie, she felt a strong contraction. She took a deep breath as it passed, hoping that it would be the only one: she still wasn't ready for this.

Ten minutes later, she felt another contraction. It was just as strong. She managed to stay in the conversation for another thirty minutes, and several more contractions passed by, getting stronger with each one. She squeezed Jack's hand, and he turned his attention to her. She leaned over to whisper in his ear. "Jack, I think we need to go now."

He looked at her quizzically. Just a few more minutes, he mouthed. She shook her head; they needed to go now.

He nodded, and stood up. "Thanks, Danny boy, for the great party. And, of course, to anyone else who planned it."

Sam smiled as well. "Yeah, thanks. It was really nice of you to this for us."

Janet studied Sam. "Are you all right?"

She nodded, "Just a little tired. I'll probably be fine after the baby comes."

"Your due date's on the sixth, isn't it?"

Again, she nodded.

"Sam, are you in labor?"

Jack looked at her as she nodded.

"Oh man, Sam, I'm sorry." He apologized as he grabbed the keys.

"Bye," she managed to say before he rushed her out the door to the car.

SG-1

Fifteen hours later, Sam and Jack sat in her hospital room, admiring their child.

"So, are we still going with our compromise?" Jack asked, hoping she would say no.

"Of course. You called our baby Junior, so Junior is what you get."

He chuckled. "I just hope that she won't curse me when she's older."

Sam looked from the infant, Jacqueline Melody to her husband. "I don't think she will. Because she's already got you wrapped around her little finger."

He kissed her on the forehead and then kissed his daughter. "You've got that right."

Well, that's the end. How did you like it? You have to push the button to let me know!
