Ch3
Early the next morning…
--------------------------------
"Oh, my." Janet picked up her phone and called Daniel.
"Hello? Daniel?"
"Janet? What's up?"
"did anything happen on that mission besides what was in the mission report?"
"fifth amendment!" (a/n right to remain silent)
"Ok. So I'll take that as a yes."
"don't tell anyone! I'm using this for blackmail!"
"uh huh. Well I'm sorry, but looks like I'm gonna have to."
"Why?"
"Nothing."
"Janet!"
"Nope."
Come on!"
"Nuh uh."
"Why?"
"because I said so."
"Pllllleeeeaaaaassseee?"
"No."
"Janet!"
"Good bye Daniel!"
"Janet!"
(Dial tone.)
"Grrr…"
--------------
Jack's house
--------------
The phone rings. He picks it up.
"Yellow?"
(Janet speaking)
"Yep."
(Janet speaking)
"Where do you think?"
(Janet speaking)
"Mmhmm."
(Janet speaking)
"WHAT?"
------------
Sam's house
------------
Phone rings
"hello?"
"Sam?"
"Yep."
"Where are you?"
"Where do you think?"
"Stupid question."
"Mmhm."
"You're pregnant."
"WHAT?"
"Who's-"
"Colonel O'Neill."
"What!"
"Don't act so surprised! Daniel-"
"That idiot!"
"No! no! he didn't tell me anything."
"let me guess. He said he has the right to remain silent."
"Yep."
"Doesn't he know that you'll know if he says that?"
"Yep."
"Dose the Colonel know this?"
"Yep."
"sigh."
"did you just say sigh?"
"yep. who else knows?"
"No one."
"Daniel?"
"He may suspect it."
"Dang."
"yep."
"I better go see the colonel."
"Yep."
"you've said that so many times this phone call."
"yep."
"I gotta go. Bye!"
"Bye."
Sam sighed, then got dressed and left for Jack's.
----------------------
Jack's once again
-------------------
Ding-dong!
Jack opened the door, fully not expecting Sam to be there. He wasn't wearing a shirt.
"uh, oh hi."
"Hi. I think we need to talk."
"Yeah. Uh, come on in. I'll just get on a shirt, and I'll be right down."
"ok." as much as Sam didn't want to admit it, she was disappointed when he came down wearing a shirt.
"Uh,"
"Congrads?"
"hardly."
"so, no party?" Sam laughed.
"no, I'm afraid not sir."
"Why?"
"Why what?"
"Why is this not a special occasion?"
"Sir, I'm carrying your baby because of a slip up we had."
"Yeah."
"Sir. We could get court marshaled."
"we were drunk." Jack shrugged.
"sir, I doubt that counts as an excuse.
"Doesn't Thor owe us?"
"Don't change the subject."
"Maybe I'm not…"
"What?"
"I'll be right back."
-------------
SGC
----------------
"You want to WHAT?"
"sir, I want to talk to Thor."
"Why?"
"Can't a friend go and say hi?"
"Colonel,"
"George?"
"Fine. But only if you call off that bet we made earlier."
"Oh! Come on! I could have won hundreds!"
"Colonel?"
"Fine."
"Good. You see? It's not so hard to lose every once and awhile."
"I'm wining a lot more."
"What?"
"nothing."
"Ok."
---------
Thor's ship
------------
"Hi buddy old pal! Just thought I 'ought to fill you in. ya see…"
--------------
SGC several hours later…
--------------
"Colonel? Why did you call this briefing?" Hammond, Jack, Teal'c, the
president, and all the other superiors sat around the briefing table.
"Just wait, sir. He'll be here."
"Who will be?"
"Tho-" a bright flash of light flew by and Thor sat there with the Tokra' and Jaffa there too.
"We are here to speak about Major Carter and Colonel O'Neill." Selmak spoke up.
"All three of us will brake off our alliance with the Tar'ri if they cannot be allowed to be mates." A Jaffa spoke next.
"We do not wish to do this. But Teal'c will too join up with us again." Bryac said gesturing towards Teal'c.
"Teal'c?" Gen. Hammond asked Teal'c in disbelief.
"He speaks the truth General Hammond." General Hammond tried to hide a giant smile, but failed miserably.
"Looks like we have no choice!"
"Ok in my book!" The president had a bet to keep by with Daniel…
"Sweet." Jack said.
"I think we're done here." The president stood and every one left.
----------------
Jack went back to his house and opened his dresser door. On top of his top shelf he had a box.
"Yep! Still there!" Jack went back to his Kitchen and called Sam.
Ring….ring….
"Carter?"
"Sir?"
"Could you come to my place for Dinner?"
"uh, sure. I guess."
"What do you think you'll want?"
"I don't know…"
"You're the one who's pregnant."
"oh, uh, Are you going to make or order it?"
"I'll cook it."
"Ok, um… would a cheese burger be ok?"
"Sure! How about you come here at 7:00?"
"Sounds great."
"See you then Carter."
"Bye sir."
Jack hung up and prepared for the night. It was a cool night. The sky
was very clear. Perfect for stargazing. Jack set out two gourmet plates
with the cheese burgers on them. He put out candles on his roof with
blankets and pillows. Just as he finished the burgers, he heard a knock
on the door.
"Hey." Jack was wearing a black shirt that wasn't buttoned up all the way and jeans.
"Hi," Sam looked at his chest. 'Man! This guy has muscles!' Jack let
Sam in. Once she saw all the candles and pillows she started to suspect
something.
"Sir?"
"hm?"
"Is there any reason you asked me to have dinner with you?"
"The sky's perfect for looking at the stars. I wanted you to see them."
"oh. Ok," She wasn't convinced.
"I made cheese burgers!" He grinned. She now felt weak-kneed.
"Do you want to go up now and eat up there, or go up after we eat?"
"um, how about we go now?" She wanted to see what he had planned.
"Great." he took the plates up.
"well come on!"
"Yessir!" She smiled one of 'her' smiles.
Once they were up on the roof, Sam again noticed the candles.
"Why candles?"
"we need some light."
"true." She didn't believe him. He pointed up.
"Wow." the sight took her breath away. Sure, she had seen stars before,
heck, she'd even been on a few, but being with Jack, in such a romantic
seen, made the stars look ten times more radiant.
"Beautiful." Jack said, still looking at Sam. She looked at him, then smiled.
"Oh, by the way, You know those pesky regs?"
"Yes…"
"I killed them."
"What?"
"only for us."
"What?"
"So now I can legally do this." he pulled out a small velvet box and got down on one knee.
"Samantha Carter, I've wanted to do this for as many years as we've
known each other. You are the most beautiful thing I have ever seen.
And that includes that weird light thing on that one planet."-like she
knew what he was talking about! (but if you do, A pat on the back!)-
"And now, skipping the rest of my speech 'cause my knee hurts, will you
marry me?"
"YES!" Sam had tears of joy running down her face as Jack slipped the ring around her finger. Then they kissed.
"aw! Isn't that so cute?" Janet whispered to Daniel from the bushes.
"Yeah. Too bad they won't be at my every whim any more."
"Yes but their happy."
"Would you two be quiet? Their going to hear you!" The president whispered.
"The only person who hasn't said anything is Teal'c!" Hammond pressed.
"You four can come out now!" Sam called down to them. They ran. With the body guards.
"Why not?" Sam gave him an are-you-crazy? Look.
"I don't mind resigning."
"sir?"
"Carter, I want you to be happy."
Ding-dong!
"Daniel." They stated at the same time.
"Come on in Danny!"
"How'd ya know it's me?" Daniel asked as he walked in.
"You're the only one to have such perfect timing."
"Did I interrupt something?"
"you always do. What'du want?"
"Oh, yeah, I just heard! Congrads!" Sam looked oh so happy. (sarcasm)
"so, that it?" Jack asked, wanting to get back to the seriousness between him and Sam.
"No, actually, I wanted to ask you if you happened to have a spare room."
"Why?"
"My apartment burnt down."
"What?"
"Yeah, my neighbor had a gas leak, and he smokes, so, yeah."
"Oh my gosh! Are you ok?" Sam was worried.
"yes, but I lost tree weeks of work, plus my video camera that had the symbols from P4X-035."
"Dang. but, yeah, you know where it is."
"Yeah! Thanks!"
"You so owe me." Jack turned his attention back to Sam
"Continuing our talk?"
"Sir, I really hate to say this." With these words, Jack's heart shattered.
"I really, really, do love you. But, I don't think I'm entirely ready yet."
"Oh, Ok."
"Someday." Sam said smiling and looking up into his eyes.
"Yeah. I'll be waiting."
"I'll let you know."
"You better." Jack said raising a finger in moccasin. She smiled.
"I better go."
"One last thing."
"Hm?"
"Do I get to help name him or her?"
"You are the father."
"Yeah, sure, you bettcha!"
"See you tomorrow sir."
"Yeah." with that, Sam left.
"Wow. Was not expecting that."
"DANIEL!"
