Chapter 3
The holidays had come and gone without any incidents. Christmas eve was spent with family and friends while a very quite Christmas was spent with just the three of them, with and even quieter New Years eve and day spent alone as well.
Their 4-year anniversary was coming up and Jack was having problems deciding on what to do to make this day special for his wife.
Getting an idea that would also involve their munchkin he went in search of her in her room.
Walking into her bedroom he saw her playing with some blocks trying to build something, getting very frustrated when what she wanted to do wasn't working.
"Whatcha building baby girl?"
She looked up at him with a look of frustration he usually only saw on his wife, "Gate, but not working" she sighed.
He laughed at her sad face. "Janet, do you want to help me with a present for Mommy?" he asked trying to get her mind off her project.
"Really?" she asked happy that he would need her help.
He nodded, "Yes sweets. I need your help, and maybe we can get you some new blocks for your project."
"Yes Daddy!" she squealed excitedly. "I can help! What do I do?"
"Well first we put away the blocks. Then we go shopping."
"Yeah! Shopping!" she said as she put her blocks into the container they belonged in.
Once she was finished Jack quickly bundled her up in her coat, mittens, and hat. After putting on his won coat he grabbed the truck keys and headed out with his very excited daughter.
"Here we go baby!"
Sam sat in her office in shocked silence.
She had decided just after the first of the year that it was finally time to resign from SG-1 and just work in the lab. Daniel and Teal'c were already gone, and after 13 years of going through the gate she was finally ready to devote all of her time at the SGC in the science lab.
Today was her last mission through the gate. Cameron wasn't that thrilled to be left alone yet again, with a new crew. He had "the band" together for 4 years, and was happy to at least have had that.
Today's mission was an easy one. Just a quick trip to a new planet that might be rich in naquida, so she was just there to collect soil samples.
During her post mission exam bold work Carolyn noticed an anomalies of some sort, so
they ran it again. On a whim she decided to do a pregnancy test, and it came back positive.
She was pregnant!
A smile spread across her face. She could not believe it. After two and a half years of trying to get pregnant she finally was. She knew the date of conception, Thanksgiving; there was no doubt in her mind.
She just sat there in her silent lab with a grin on her face. Tomorrow was her anniversary and she needed to get another present for Jack. Her mind was moving thinking of all the ideas she had. This had to be something really good.
This was how Daniel found her. He walked into her office to see if she had gotten a look at the ruins on P3X-591 while she was there. He had seen the photos and video, however he wanted her opinion of them. When he walked in he saw the goofy grin and her starring into space.
"I guess someone is happy." Daniel watched as she jumped, not expecting him.
"Sorry Daniel." She giggled. "Just thinking."
"About anyone in particular?"
"A couple of someone's actually, and a new one." She smiled.
"A shocked Daniel asked "Really?"
"Yup. Just found out. Carolyn knows of course, and now you. You can't say anything to anyone. I'm telling Jack tomorrow." She smiled. "Do you think you guys could watch Janet tomorrow night? I think that there is going to be a little more celebrating than just the dinner I had planned." Sam asked.
"Sure, anything for you guys." Daniel knew the heartache Sam had been going through the last year. "This is a long time coming."
"Sure is. I'm going to the General and telling him that I'm leaving a little early to get another present for Jack. I've got an idea of how to give him the news."
"I'll let the General know, just go."
"Thanks Danny." She said as she grabbed their things and rushed out the door, leaving him standing there shaking his head. She came back and spoke, "Oh, was there anything you needed?"
"Nothing that can't wait until later. I'll call about picking up Janet."
"Thanks Daniel." She gave him a quick kiss on the cheek. "You're the best!"
"Yeahsureyabetcha!" he said using one of Jack's many phrases.
"You've spent way to much time with my husband. See you tomorrow!" she rushed out again.
Danny looked around the lab. She left without even shutting down her computers or locking anything up. He put all the computers in sleep mode, shut off the light, and locked the door as he walked out. "Jack is in for a treat." He laughed walking down the hall.
