Chapter 78
A/N: We're nearly at the end folks, but here's a short chapter for you all.
Janet's POV
As Thor, Sam and Jack leave the room, I turn to General Hammond.
"Sir?"
"Yes Doctor?"
"Permission to return to the Infirmary. I have several tests that I need to get underway."
"Considering the events of the past few weeks, I am placing you and Teal'c on stand down for two days. Why don't you go home and spend some time with Cassie. I'm sure she's missed you. Don't her exams start next week?"
"Yes General, they do. However, these tests cannot wait."
"Then ask someone else to complete them."
"With all due respect sir, I would prefer to complete these tests myself."
"Do you not trust your staff Doctor?"
I take a deep breath and brace myself. "I think I might be pregnant sir."
His eyebrows raise and then he smiles softly. "Congratulations Doctor."
"I'm not sure yet. But it is a possibility, I want to run the tests immediately, so I have a definitive answer before I go home."
"I understand. You're dismissed."
"Thank you General." I stand shakily and exit quickly, barely noticing the subtle knowing smile on Teal'c's face.
