CHAPTER 3!
"Carter are you ok?" He asked for the second time, but she didn't respond.
"Carter!" He now said waving his hand in front of her face.
"I know who her mother is." She whispered with a tremble in her voice.
"Carter?" She was still in a days, and now he was getting worried.
"Sir, later." She still had her focus on the girl and nodded to the girl not to say anything.
"Why not now Carter?" The colonel was slightly confused.
"Trust me, later." She whispered.
"Alright, whatever." He waved his hand around as if he didn't care. Though he was still slightly worried.
"Sam" Daniel whined.
"Daniel." Sam retorted. Jack sat up in his chair because he had finally worked it out.
"Daniel." Jack interjected.
"Jack?" Daniel asked.
"Forget it Daniel you will find out later like everybody else." Jack stated.
"Fine."
They were all due in the briefing room in 20 minuets. As Teal'c, Daniel, Grace and Charlie were making there way up to the briefing room Sam and Jack drifted off in the other direction.
"Daniel can you take the 2 kids to the briefing room and Carter and I will meet you there in 10." Jack suggested as he looked at Sam and she nodded in approval.
"Sure Jack." Daniel responded slightly annoyed as Jack wouldn't tell him anything before.
As Daniel and Teal'c were out of sight Sam suggested, "Colonel why don't we go to my lab to discuss this because I don't think you would want anybody to know about this before the General." The colonel knew what was going on now. He was certain.
"Ah Carter is everything alright?"
"It will be, just wait till we get to my lab, we'll talk there."
"Yeah, sure you bet cha." He nodded and followed.
The two arrived in Carters lab. Jack went in first and then Sam came in and shut the door.
"So Carter what's on your mind?" Sam was now feeling uncomfortable with the situation. He wanted to be sure first. He wanted her to clarify it for him. He sat down on her bench next to her.
"Umm…Sir I think I am…well…" She hesitated.
"Carter spit it out already, Grace's our daughter right?" Jack blurted.
Carter just sat there stunned.
"Yes sir…Well I think that's what she was trying to get across before."
Carter moved onto the stool away from the Colonel.
"I think Carter that she is, but I mean it would be impossible." Jack sat still on her desk.
"Not exactly sir." She said worriedly.
"Carter?" He cleared his throat as she squirmed in her seat.
"She is our Daughter, regardless." Sam resisted.
"How? So she does exist in another reality, but she doesn't exist in this reality and everybody we have met in other realities have existed in this one." He didn't really make sense, but she understood.
"Sir I think she did." She whispered.
"What, Carter are you saying we have a living breathing child and we had…without me even knowing, we haven't even…you know, except for that one time when we were addicted to that place with the light." O'Neill stared into her eyes as she nodded.
"It only takes once." She spoke.
"Are you kidding me Carter?" Jack said worriedly and a bit outraged.
"Well sir after we came back, you noticed I wasn't around a lot for about 6weeks." He nodded.
"You know it takes 9 months to have a baby right?" Jack asked sarcastically. Sam rolled her eyes and nodded.
"Anyway I wasn't around a lot."
"Yeah Frasier said you had the flu, she wouldn't let me see you, no matter what I said." Jack said slightly worried.
"Umm…I found out that I was pregnant about 3 weeks after our trip to the light. I was really sick. I found I was sick because of the baby. The next day I was going to tell you, but I suffered from a miscarriage. I lost our child Jack, I wanted her so bad. I figured I couldn't tell you after she was gone because it would just ruin our careers. And we both didn't need that after the Za'tarc incident anyway." A tear fell down her left cheek.
"I would have given up everything you know." Jack saw the pain in her eyes.
"I didn't…" They were staring into each others eyes again and she was cut off by Jack.
"Come here." He reached out and held her close. They stood there for a while. They hadn't held each other since Janet had died. And, Sam missed him. After she started going out with Pete, they seemed kind of distant.
She needed him. She realized that no matter what was to come, she was going to need him, and she hoped he was always going to be there.
"Sir we need to go to the briefing." She tried pulling away but he was still holding her tightly. She didn't resist any further and stayed in his arms. She felt safe…and surprisingly so did he.
"Carter the briefing doesn't start for another 10 minutes." He reassured and kissed her hair. She peered into his eyes.
"Yes, but I don't want to talk anymore and I don't want to do anything I might regret." She pointed to the camera on the wall, slightly disappointed at the fact.
"Ah…good point, but we will have to talk about this later ok?" He caressed her cheek with his tough hand.
"Ok but not now, and not on the base." She fell into his hand and placed hers over his.
"What about O'Malley's after work tomorrow?" Jack suggested.
"We can't because of the kid's."
"Good point, what about my office. I know that it is on the base, but I barely go in there so the cameras are permanently disconnected." She smiled.
"Alright, say about 1600 hours?" She agreed.
"Right."
The two left for the briefing room.
