CHAPTER EIGHT

Not being able to see Janet for her exam, Sam made some excuses about feeling a little dizzy and if she could get the blood taken tomorrow. The Nurse agreed and let Sam go home early due to the dizziness as long as she had someone with her. Sam organised her Dad and they left the base early. On the way home Sam stoped at a pharmacy and grabbed 2 home pregnancy tests, she needed to know. Sam told her dad that she was getting cramps and wanted some painkillers. Knowing that Jacob would think that it was just that time of month, Sam could get away without too many questions.

"Dad I'm going for a shower, do you want to organise some takeaway, and menus are on the bench in the kitchen." Sam called out as she headed for the bathroom to do the test.

Sam had read the instructions 3 times over to make sure she did everything right.

She followed the instruction to the letter and now all she had to do was wait. Getting undressed to hop into the shower, she was getting excited if she was pregnant she was going to be a mom, then on the other hand if she was pregnant she was probably having Jacks baby which scared her to hell. The timer went off after two minutes; it was her longest two minutes ever. Looking at the stick it had two blue lines on it, grabbing the instructions rereading what the lines meant. Dropping the paper she re looked at the stick, she was pregnant.

"Crap what now?" She asked herself shocked she stepped under the running water and let the tears run down her face. It had been only a couple of hours since she cry over Jack leaving now she was crying again. Not really knowing how she felt, she was relived that she basically knew but she was going to be a mom, she didn't know how to be a mom, she could barely look after herself, and what about Pete, what would he say? What would Jack say and do?

Hopping out of the shower Sam needed advice and the best person for that was down stairs. She didn't know how he will react at her going to become a mother but she needed his support and hoped that is what she got.

"Dad what did you order for dinner?" Sam started

"Am I got chines is that ok?"

"Yeah that's good. How long before it gets here?"

"Should be here any minute!"

"Dad! Can we talk?" Sam jested for Jacob to follow her into the lounge.

Jacob sat down and waited for Sam to start, talking about what had happened was not easy and Sam was eager to talk so he waited.

"Dad I haven't been feeling real well since the beginning of our last mission!" She paused.

"Dad I just did a pregnancy test and it come out positive." Sam spat out as quick as she could.

"What!... No!... What!"

"Dad I think it's the General's baby. Pete and I am haven't you know for a couple of months due to work commitments, and Janet didn't pick anything up when we did that full exams after the virus so that just leaves one conclusion." Sam tried to explain to her dad exactly what she was thinking.

As they sat there trying to process all the information the food arrived so Sam got up and dished out the food, she was hungry now and the chines smelt great. Jacob got up and followed Sam into the kitchen.

"Are you going to keep it? What about Jack and Pete? What are you going to tell them? What about you're Career?" Jacob spat at her.

Not knowing how to answer Sam just sat there thinking.

"Sam talk to me!" Jacob pleaded

Sam sat there some more and thought what was she going to do. She decided that the best thing is to talk it through with Jacob and see what was left at the end.

"Dad, since Jolinar my body hasn't been normal to say the least. Janet and I have discussed it and we didn't think that I would be able to have a child. But now I'm pregnant and I really don't know what to do. Is this my only chance." Taking a breath she came to her decision.

"I can't and won't give this baby up! It's just going to hurt a lot of people and I don't know how to tell them." Sam felt better she had made her mind up. Well truth be told this was the only answer she just had to come to terms with it.

"Oh Sam I am happy for you. I know this is going to be hard and I will try to be there for you as much as I can." Jacob started to think what could she do.

"Sam how much leave have you got stored up?"

"I don't know. Why?" looking puzzled

"You could take some leave and figure what you are going to do about Jack and the baby. Am and you might want to think about Pete and what his reaction is going to be."

"I know dad, Pete wanted kids but I don't really think he is going to want to bring up Jack's baby."

"Sam is Pete who you really wanted any way?" Jacob looking at his daughter hoping she was going to be truthful to herself as well as him.

"Dad I told the General that I regretted that night. And I do regret it. It should never have happened. I was with Pete and I betrayed him. I love Pete dad but I also love Jack, it's just not the same! I could see a life with Pete and I had a life with the General and SG1."

"I was happy with Pete, we did what normal people do. Go to the movies, to dinner, stay at home on the couch. I don't know if I want to give that up. I liked being normal couple." Sam sighed.

"Sam my honest opinion is maybe you don't be with either of them. Maybe it is time for you and your baby. You are strong and smart you can do this. Just be honest with yourself and them."
