StargateFan: (repents and gives Kayla bushels of chocolate and fake RDA picture. Oma descends me.)
Deathstreet89: I wanted to do that, but I did that in another story.
BookWorm37: (hug) they say you learn something new everyday. Thanks.
StarrGazer: Indeed O wise one!
Sam whimpered. "Jack, we are using condoms from now on."
He nodded half terrified. He hadn't been there when Charlie was born so he wasn't prepared for this.
Jacob looked at his daughter and sighed. One did not bring one's daughter into the world to suffer pain.
Teal'c continued to guard the door, safe from the demands of the pregnant woman. Daniel flitted back and forth unsure as to WHAT he should be doing.
"Breathe Sam; just relax and breathe."
Sam glared at him, "RELAX? You expect me to RELAX?"
"Ok calm down and just breathe." Daniel ordered.
"I AM breathing!" she snapped. "JACK!"
"G'way," Jack mumbled as he came closer. "Hey Sam."
"You thought I was tense last year?"
He smoothed her hair. "I take it back."
"Good."
Janet hurried in with an exasperated look on her face. "Siler slipped and sprained his ankle trying to get in here, two men in the hall got into a fight over the gender of the babies, one now has a concussion and-"
"Janet how long until this is over?" Sam demanded.
Janet winced. "Up to 42 hours Sam, maybe longer."
"Forty-two hours?" she mouthed. "FORTY-TWO HOURS?" She glanced at the clock. "It's only been six hours!"
"I know."

Daniel crept into Sam and Jack's house, feeling like a burglar. Unbeknownst to Sam, Daniel had been decorating the 'Baby Room'. The room was painted a powder blue and two light brown cribs sat next to each other. On the other side of the room, was a changing table. A rocking chair stood in the middle with a small table next to it. Several rocking toys lay around the room and several pictures of them, SG-1, adorned the room. Daniel's personal favorite was the six-foot giraffe 'guarding' the beds. He looked down at the package he held. Inside was a photo album 'of your children's growth'. He placed it on the small table, hurried to the window and lowered the blinds. Satisfied, he smiled and left.

"Jack," Sam gasped between contractions, "what are we going to name these kids?"
Jack grinned. "For girls, I like Vicky (Victoria) and Jaden-"
"Jaden is a boy's name."
"Is not."
"Is too."
"Is not."
"Is to-" she stopped. "What about boy names?"
"I was thinking about Jacob and Caleb," he said softly. "Your dad, my dad."
Sam smiled. "I love you Jack O'Neill."
"I love you too Samantha."
"Enough with the lovey dovey," Jacob snapped. "Is the kid getting my name or not?"
They stared at him.
"I was kidding Sammie."

3 hours... 6 hours... 9 hours...
Daniel dozed off in the corner of the room. Jack sat next to his wife reading her a book about wormhole theories and Teal'c took a temporary break from guard duty to 'fetch' the needed food supplies. Sam was craving orange juice and Jack wanted pie. Hey, watching your wife DELIVER wasn't easy.
Sam stared at her juice morosely. "I'm going to be a terrible mother Jack."
"Why is that?" Jack asked placing a forkful of pie in his mouth.
"I... just am."
Jack waited until he had swallowed his pie before trying to say anything. "You're not."
"Yes I am."
"Nope."
She glared at him. "Am too."
"Ok, fine, a horrible mother you will be."
She gaped at him. He raised an eyebrow.
"I don't believe that, nor does Daniel, your father, Teal'c, Janet, or anyone on this base."
"But-"
"Sam, I've seen you off world with kids. You are a natural."
She gave him a small smile. "Really?"
"Yeah." He stopped. "You know, we never thanked the Lochi."
"We'll go back and say thanks."
Jack nodded. "Ok." He agreed.

They were entering the twenty-second hour. Janet had left five hours ago to get some rest at Jack and the General's orders. George was finally permitted to enter and speak to the 'Queen'.
"General Hammond sir." She whispered, "it's nice to see you."
"Likewise Major. You have a pretty good body guard out there."
She nodded.
"So how's it going?"
"Slowly." She complained. "I just want them OUT."
He smiled. "I understand."
After a little more chitchat, he left.
Jack resumed the reading of her book. He had managed to stumble through more chapters before Sam gasped.
"Jack, get Janet. This is it."
He stared at his wife. "This is…"
She nodded. "Hurry."
Å
"Now, Sam-"
Daniel, Teal'c, Jacob and George hung around outside the door. Janet had locked the door and forbidden them to make any noise.
Daniel winced as Sam screamed. Even Teal'c looked a little disturbed.
"Sam, push!"
"I AM pushing!"
"Just one more Sam, just one more…"
Daniel grinned widely as a loud cry was heard. "Yes!"
"SHH!" George and Jacob ordered.
"What is it?" They could hear anexhausted Sam demand.
"It's a boy, now push!"
Daniel hurried down the hall, kicked the elevator door and got back in time to hear a second cry.
"It's another boy Sam."
The men waited impatiently until the door opened. Sam was lying down; one little bundle nestled in her arms. Jack held another one.
"Dad, meet Jacob Michael and Caleb George." She said gesturing first to her baby then Jack's.
Jacob was about to take his namesake when they heard: "OFF WORLD ACTIVATION…"
So who is it? The Tok'ra, Anise (yes I know she is a Tok'ra), the Goa'uld, the Lochi, or... false alarm?
Or maybe... this was a dream.
Anyways, I hope you liked it and... please review!
