I couldn't leave the story there, so flash forward to just after Jack, Daniel and Teal'c have returned from saving Sam's life...
Ten years later, SG-1 and their families were at Jack's cabin in Minnesota. Several small children ran around, grateful that their parents were distracted from their usual occupation of watching them.
Daniel and a descended Sha're were there with their three children, Samantha, Murray and Jonathan. Janet and her husband brought Cassie and their two children, Sarah and John. Teal'c managed to bring Rya'c and his wife, Ta'ren and their two children, Ish'tar and Sa'rek.
The group sat around and chatted for a while as Jack grilled the fish that Teal'c ahd bought from a nearby grocery store. Jack had spent a great deal of time repeating "It's all in the art…it doesn't matter whether or not you catch a fish…"
Only one member of the team was not there…Sam had not come outside to join her family.
After the fish had been placed in the center of a couple of picnic tables, Sam's husband entered the house and found her on the couch in the living room, crying.
Jack sat beside her wife, and placed one hand on her knee. "Sam, are you okay?"
She nodded, wiping her eyes. "Yeah…just tired."
"Yeah, well you have the right. With Danny being sick last week, and Jacob's 2nd grade musical, and then I had to go and transport 15-year-old you back to your fifteen-year-old world, and then there's this shindig that I talked you into…" He said as he brushed his hand through her shoulder-length blonde hair.
She laid her head on his shoulder. "It's more than that…"
He entwined his left hand with her right hand. "Are you okay?"
She nodded. "Jack…I'm pregnant."
He jolted, and she raised her head, laughing despite her tears.
"You're what?"
"Pregnant…with child #3."
He just stared at her. "I thought…I thought Danny was the last one…"
She smiled, a fresh batch of tears shining in her eyes. "So did I."
She laid her head back on Jack's shoulder and he instinctively placed his left arm around her. Then, as he had done during her other two pregnancies, he rested his right hand lightly on her stomach.
"Hi Junior." He whispered.
"You know what?" Sam asked, cuddling up closer to him.
"What?"
"This is a dream come true…"
"You mean, since you were fifteen?"
She chuckled. "It took you long enough to notice…but yeah, something like that." She said, her thoughts turning back to that night in the lab…
Even if it's just "aw..." I want reviews!
