A/N: I can't wait until season 9 starts in Australia! I have been reading all these transcripts and I am so jealous. Anyway, I hope you like this chapter!

Chapter 6

Jack got off his chair and knelt down onto the floor next to her. He checked her pulse as Sam and Charlie rushed to her side. Her pulse was weak, very weak. Jack lifted her into his arms.

"Colonel take her to the infirmary now. I will give a heads up for the doctor now." Jack ran Grace down to the infirmary in his arms. He was followed closely by Sam and Charlie.

Jack placed her on the bed. He was then asked to leave as the doctors worked there "magic". He was pushed away by approaching nurses.

"Charlie, has this ever happened before? Has she got something wrong with her?" Jack asked trying to get answers quickly.

"Colonel if Charlie knew, don't you think that he would have told us by now!" Sam stated.

Charlie walked towards his father.

"Dad I don't know, she was alright when we left." Charlie's eyes were starting to tear up. Jack placed his hand on the boys shoulder.

"Hey Charlie I'm sorry, I was just worried and over reacted a bit. She'll pull through this, she'll be fine. After all, she is an O'Neill, and a Carter for that mater." Jack smiled at Sam.

"She was fine before we went through the mirror. Are you sure that there is not another Grace in this reality?" Jack turned to Sam and she gave a slight nod.

"Yep where sure." Jack answered.

"Cause I didn't collapse or anything." He had a point. Sam looked over to Charlie.

"Look Charlie, she'll be fine. Why don't you, Daniel and Teal'c head down to the commissary, whilst the Colonel and I stay here. I will come and get you if there is any change. Ok?" Sam asked.

"Yeah ok. You know if I hadn't gone through the mirror myself, I wouldn't even known I had left. Sam you are so much like my mother." Charlie leant over and hugged his "mother" then he Teal'c and Daniel headed down to the commissary.

Sam and Jack took a seat in the infirmary observation room. Sam was seated next to Jack looking down on her so called 'daughter'. She was watching what the nursing staff were doing to her. She has this knot in the pit of her stomach more than usual every time someone is in the infirmary now that Janet had died. To know it was her own flesh and blood made it worse.

She turned to Jack. He was staring back and forth between his 'daughter' and his 'Sam'.

"Sir this is completely my fault. If I had told you sooner, we wouldn't be in this situation…" She was interrupted.

"Carter it's not your fault, who were we to know there was another quantum mirror." Jack stated as Sam looked seriously back at him.

"But if I had told you years ago that I was pregnant, we wouldn't be this distant from each other in situations like this, and we wouldn't be having this conversation!"

As she sighed she focused on Grace.

"Carter I think we need to have that chat now." Jack said softly. He wrapped his arm over her shoulder trying to comfort her.

"Sir, what about Grace?" She asked as she wiped away a tear from her eye.

"Where not doing much here anyway. Like you said if they find anything they will contact us straight away. So why don't we get something to eat and go to my office?" Jack said as he gestured towards the door.

"Ok. But the slightest of anything we are back up here straight away." They both made there way out of the infirmary.

They made there way into Jacks office. Jack sat on the edge of his desk next to Sam after shutting the door.

"So…" Jack started.

"So, what do we really need to chat about?" Sam asked trying to avoid everything. She turned her head away. She couldn't look at him. She knew if she did, he would be able to see right through her.

"Cater look at me please." Jack asked softly.

"If I do, I don't know what I might say or do. And I don't know how I would explain it to you." She whispered.

"Look, I don't expect and explanation, I just want to know what's going through your mind and how you're feeling about all this." She felt his whisper on the back of her neck, and it made a shiver down her spine.

"I'm just," she turned to face Jack,

"Sorry for not telling you. I couldn't do it…back then things were different. But the same rules applied as they do now. I wanted to. When I lost her, I lost apart of me…and a piece of you. So I distanced myself from you. But no matter what I did, you were always there. I'm sorry about Orlin, I'm sorry about Martouf; heck I'm even sorry I've met Pete now!"

Jack wiped away her tears with his thumb as he cupped her face. They looked into each others eyes. They each knew there every ache, every pain and every thought and feeling.

"You don't have to be sorry." He whispered in to her hair, after he had put his arm around her.

"I'm the one who should be sorry. I'm just sorry for not noticing. How pigheaded could I have been when Daniel died? I'm sorry I wasn't there for you!"

Sam turned to face Jack again.

"What are we doing to ourselves? We're sorry for not being aloud to show affection for each other, let alone love each other. We shouldn't have to be sorry." Sam said in a frustrated tone.

"I say we settle this at my cabin so we can fish for hours." Jack said trying to light up the situation. Sam started to giggle.

"I could quit the air force?" She suggested.

"Or I could retire again." He said trying to be serious, but it wasn't working.

"Well if I quit the air force, I could work as a civilian on the base like Daniel." Sam stated.

"Yes, but who would look after the children my dear?" He said sarcastically. Sam looked as if she were her normal bubbly self again. Jack hadn't seen that in a while.

"So…where do we go from here?" Sam asked.

"Well I say we go to my cab…" Jack started but was interrupted.

"Sir, be serious." She tried to say but a permanent smirk was plastid across her face.

"Well whatever you want to do, I'm open for ideas. Oh I have the first one, call me Jack when where alone."

"Ok…Jack."

"That's sounds good Samantha." Jack said with an evil grin.

Jack combed her hair behind her ear and gave her a gentle but meaningful kiss. She pulled back and started to talk again.

"Well why don't we go in and check on Grace and I start writing my resignation, for the air force of course." She said eagerly.

"Are you sure? 'Cause your one of the best officers I have ever had serve under me." He said in all seriousness.

"Is that because I'm the only officer you've flirted with?" She asked sarcastically.

"Yes, and no." he said with a giant smirk on his face.

"Yes I am sure, I have never been so sure." The next question Jack dreaded asking.

"And Pete?" Sam sighed.

"I'll see him next time he is in town, which is Saturday, 'she looks down at her watch,' which is tomorrow."

A/N: Hope you liked that it was a bit of Sam and Jack please review.
