CHAPTER 1
When they all arrived at the infirmary, Sam managed to persuade the doctor's to let her into the room. Sam had lost all train of thought from the events that had just occurred. She was a "mother" for cryin out loud. She was staring at the girl before her. There was something about her that she just couldn't put her finger on. All of a sudden the monitor went flat line and Sam was pushed out of the room and into the corridor.
Daniel was sitting next to Teal'c and General Hammond.
"How is she?" Daniel saw that Sam was distressed.
"I don't know…she was fine a minute ago…and then she just went flat line." Sam put her head in her hands and ran her hands through her hair. She took a seat next to Daniel.
"Sam, don't worry, if she is your daughter she'll pull through and fight hard." Daniel said.
"Colonel Carter, could the child be yours?" Teal'c asked.
"I've never had any children." She replied.
"What if she was though, it you look at her she is a splitting image of me except for her hair, eyes and the odd few dimples you could see in the strain in her face." She said thinking out loud.
Then it struck her, 'I've seen that look of pain in someone else's face before.' As Sam was thinking, he mouthed 'Jack' to Teal'c.
"Well Sam when she is feeling better we will be able to find out the full story. She might even tell us who her father is." Daniel suggested.
"Yeah maybe" Sam said quietly.
"On that note, I'll leave you to it colonel I have a briefing to get to. If you need anything you know where I am." General Hammond said as he left for the briefing room.
"I will accompany you General Hammond as I am needed with you in the negotiations." Teal'c stated.
"Ok, thanks sir and Teal'c, I'll let you know if anything changes." Daniel and Sam waited in the infirmary observation room.
General Hammond and Teal'c walked up to the briefing room, where they greeted Major Paul Davis and Bray'tec. The negotiations with the Jaffa and earth were not going according to plan. Because most of the Jaffa were now free from slavery, they were not so eager to keep the Tau'ri informed about Goa'uld activities, especially Ba'al's.
Sam and Daniel remained in the observation room waiting for a result on the situation. The two of them had been waiting for over 4 hours. Daniel kept going back and forth to the commissary getting coffee for himself and Sam.
Just as Daniel was getting up for the next round of coffee, Dr Brightman came through to the observation room.
"Doctor is she ok?" Sam appeared more anxious than worried.
"Colonel Carter she is stable for the time being. She has lost lot of blood; but she needs a lot of rest." Sam looked relieved.
"Is she up for visitors?" Sam asked.
"I think it would be a better idea if we just let her sleep." The Dr replied.
"I will only be a minute." Sam pleaded.
"Ok, but you have five minutes ok?" The doctor said.
"Ok."
General O'Neill entered the briefing room at 0900 hours. Nobody was expecting him, because it was his day off and wasn't meant to be there until the next day.
"Morning George…Sir" Jack walked in with a sly grin on is face.
"Jack what are you doing here?" George asked.
"Well, the fish just weren't biting, so I came back to the base, and Daniel may have called me, some kind of an emergency." He said cheerfully.
"Ok Jack sit down, and I will fill you in on what's been happening." George said.
"Ok general you can do the honors on telling me what's going on."
0"Well Jack we had a problem this morning, and the Jaffa aren't happy with the treaty." Hammond stated.
"Bray'tec it's good to see you. When did you get here?" Jack asked enthusiastically.
"O'Neill it is good to see you also. I arrived late last night." Bray'tec replied and sat down at the table.
"O'Neill," Teal'c said.
"Yeah buddy." Jack replied.
"We experienced and unscheduled off world activation around 0430 this morning." Teal'c said with no emotion playing across his face.
"And" Jack asked.
"We received SG1 IDC; also the gate was activated by a planet where Ba'al had recently smothered all beings." Davis stated.
"Get to the point." Jack said getting slightly worried not seeing Daniel or Carter yet.
"The iris opened by itself, and a young girl walked out on to the ramp. She stated that Colonel Carter was her mother, before collapsing to the floor." Teal'c said.
"Oh, right. Where's Carter now?" Jack asked acting on impulse. He still worried about her even though he wasn't aloud to think or feel about her in that way.
"I believe that Colonel Carter is in the infirmary in the company of Daniel Jackson." Teal'c assured him.
"Right, well I'll be in the infirmary if anybody needs me." Jack said leaving the briefing room trying to keep composure in a so-called-normal-life at the SGC without looking shocked.
When Jack arrived in the infirmary, he saw Sam sitting next to her supposed daughter brushing her hair from her face.
"Hey."
"Hey."
"How is she doing?" Jack whispered.
"Asleep." She replied.
"Ah. So this kid is your daughter." He said sincerely.
"Well this is the one and only…I think." She said jokingly.
"Well, we all have skeletons." He grinned.
"Yes, but one normally knows about these skeletons." She said with a smile.
"I see your point." He said teasing her.
The girl must have heard the two familiar voices because Sam saw her eyes started to flutter open.
"She's awake," Sam commented. Jack turned to the girl.
"Yes she is." He was interrupted with the weak whisper of the girl.
"Mum, is that dad?"
