Jack waited impatiently for Thor to beam them down. Daniel was pacing up and down the alien ship while Teal'c merely stared out the 'window'.
"Thor," Jack began, "how long is this going -"
Bright light filled the room, sweeping the inhabitants away.
"-to take." Jack finished once on terra firma. He looked around and spotted a hut a few yards away. He hurried over and pushed open the door.
"Colonel O'Neill," Lya's soft voice greeted him. "It is good to see you."
"It's nice to see you too," he looked around, "where's Sam?"
Lya smiled. "She is resting," she said gesturing behind her. Jack nodded his thanks and hurried to his wife's side.
"Sam?" He whispered, "Sam!"
She stirred lightly. "G'way," she whispered, "I'm tired."
A small smilecrept across his face as she opened her eyes. "Hey baby," he said stroking her hair.
"Baby?" She protested, "What a greeting to give your wife after she's been gone two weeks!"
Jack bent down and kissed her. Lya giggled as the kiss grew longer in intensity.
"Maybe we should give them some privacy," Daniel muttered edging his way out the hut, followed by Teal'c and Lya.
An hour later...
Jack immerged from the hut, a silly grin on his face. "She's fine!" He called, "she wants to see you guys."
Daniel and Teal'c were in there a minute later.
"Hey Daniel, hey Teal'c."
Both men approached the bed almost reverently. "It is good to see you well again Major Carter." Teal'c said giving her a slight bow.
"Thanks Teal'c, it's good to see you too."
"Yeah Sam, you gave us quite a scare." Daniel said reproachfully. "We thought Osiris had you."
"Osiris?" Sam repeated surprised. "Why would-"
"Long story."
"Oh."
They remained with the Nox for several days before returning to Stargate Command. A 'shindig' was held in her honor that lasted ten hours.
Three more weeks flew by...
Sam was now seven months pregnant and it was quite apparent. She was quite touchy on the subject and refused to go into any more stores after her third 'Are you having triplets?' comment. One learned to deal with her wacky moods and learned quickly to always bring a dessert with.
"AARRRRGH!"
Sam's self appointed body guards flew in. "What do you need?" "Coffee? Jello?" "What is it you require Major Carter?"
She burst into tears. "I c-can't figure this oouuuuuuuuttttt!"
Teal'c and Daniel exchanged glances then slipped out of the room leaving Jack to deal with his pregnant wife.
"What can't you figure out?" He asked cautiously.
"How to re-replicate the device SG-7 b-brought back from 923-"
"BREAK TIME!" Jack announced, "c'mon, we haven't been off this base in three days Carter. Let's go."
"I don't want too."
Jack ran his hand through his hair. Why wasn't there a 'Dealing with Pregnant Wifes for Dummies'?
He looked back tohis crying wife. "C'mere," he said quietly. She melted in his embrace.
"I don't know what's wrong with me!" She wailed, "I snapped at Janet, yelled at Siler..."
"You're pregnant Sam."
"I don't want to be anymore! I want them to come out! I'm tired of fe-feeling fat and-"
"Shh," Jack whispered stroking her hair. "Shh."
"How is she?" Daniel asked as Jack shut his wife's door.
"She's fine. Tired, but fine." Jack assured him.
"Good. You look tired."
"I am," Jack said with a short laugh. "But, I have to catch up on a few reports so, ciao!"
Daniel waited until Jack had gone before easing into Sam's room. She was sitting on her bed, poking her belly and smiling with delight as the babies kicked in response.
"Hey Sam."
She looked up surprised. "I didn't hear you come in."
"Hello to you too."
She blushed. "Sorry. It's nice to see you."
He eased himself onto the corner of the bed, "anything I can do for you?"
She shook her head. "Thanks though."
Daniel fidgeted slightly. "Umm, Janet thought maybe I should tell you this since she thinks I'm more dispensable..."
"Tell me what?" She demanded.
He sighed and wiped his glasses. "She wants you to remain on bed rest for the rest of your pregnancy."
Sam pursed her lips. "She's crazy," she said finally, "she actually thought I'd agree to that?"
"I'm supposed to talk you into it." He explained.
"Oh. Not going to happen."
Daniel shrugged. "It was worth a try."
Sam seized his hand and held it against her tummy. "Did you feel it?" She asked, her eyes sparkling.
He grinned. "Yeah."
2 weeks later.
Jack stretched out lazily and opened his eyes. On encountering an empty bed, he began to panic. Recently Sam had taken up sitting on the roof and naming off the stars for the babies. A rather dangerous habit when you considered the only way up was either with a ladder or some rickety stairs in the garage.
"Sam?" He called.
"In here."
He pushed back the covers and hurried into the kitchen. It looked like someone had dropped a bomb in there. And in the midst of it all, his wife was sliding... SOMETHING onto a rack.
"What are those?" He demanded.
"Chocolate chip cookies."
Jack stared at them, a slow smile creeping across his face. "How many bags of chocolate chips did you put in?"
She gave him a sheepish smile. "Four."
He leaned closer. "That's a Stargate!"
She beamed. A mini replica of the Stargate laid on one of the cookie sheets. It was incredibly detailed, down to the symbols and chevrons themselves.
"Sam, that's incredible."
She kissed him. "Glad you like it."
He licked his lips. "You taste like chocolate."
"I had a few."
He looked around. "What happened?"
She stirred the contents of a bowl vigorously. "I kicked the flour thing. Hard."
Jack imagined her losing her temper and kicking it. "Oh."
"Daniel dropped by. He made those over there." She said pointing behind him.
Jack turned and his jaw dropped. A mini DHD and a miniature city sat there.
"Abydos?" He asked pointing to the city.
She nodded.
"When did he come by?"
She shrugged. "Past seven, Teal'c stopped by around nine."
Jack looked over at the clock, "HOLY HANNAH!"
She laughed, "It's partly my fault you slept in so late."
He stared at her, puzzled.
"I crushed a sleeping pill up and put it in your beer. You didn't even notice."
"Why?" He asked snitching a cookie.
Sam placed the next sheet of cookies in the oven. "Because for the past month, you've been running yourself ragged for me."
"I didn't care."
She rolled her eyes. "Janet wants me to go on bed rest."
Jack blinked at the sudden change of conversation. "She does?"
"Yeah."
"Why?" He demanded, "you're ok aren't you? I-"
"I'm fine," she interrupted, "but she thinks it would be best."
"And what do you think?" He asked cautiously.
She grinned, surprising him. "Maybe I'll win 'Worst Patient of the Year' for once."
He stared at her. She had flour in her hair, chocolate on her face and she was almost laughing. He loved this woman. "Yeah," he said wrapping his arms around her, "maybe you will."
She kissed him again, "let's go."
He grabbed her arm as she was about to leave. "Hold up sister," he said in a deep voice.
She looked surprised. He jerked his finger towards the kitchen. "We have ourselves a mess to clean up."
Sam shook her head coquettishly. "Teal'c and Daniel are coming back in... Ten minutes to clean it up."
"You have everything planned don't you?"
She nodded.
"Including marrying me?" he asked.
She nodded. "You were more of a long term goal." She added thoughtfully.
He ran a finger down her cheek. "I love you Sam O'Neill."
"I love you too."
The doorbell rang.
"Hurry, let's hide!" Sam whispered pulling him around the corner as Daniel opened the kitchen door.
"Holy smokes... TEAL'C!"
Sam and Jack burst into laughter.
My mom when she's pregnant. Crazy lady on the loose.
My totally wonderful beta (Sara Loughlin) beta'd this. (Well, duh)
