1 Sam had been at Mark's for a couple of days and was feeling little better. The morning sickness had kept its pace up but as she was just laying around the house she had relaxed a little and that was helping. Sam had come to a couple of decisions and was happy with herself.

Mark had thought he was doing the right thing by calling Pete and telling him about the baby. Mark just naturally thought it was Pete's and didn't ask any questions. All he knew was that Sam was there to relax and recuperate. So when Pete showed up at the house on Friday, Sam was surprised and not ready for the onslaught that hit her.

"Sam I can't believe you! You should have told me! Do you even know who the father is?" Pete yelled as he stood over Sam.

"Pete calm down and we can talk about this."

"I don't want to calm down, we were getting married then you sleep with that scum and now your pregnant! It's his isn't it? I can't believe this. Your going to kept it no matter what aren't you? Aren't You!"

"YES!" Sam yelled standing up so she could look in his face. If she truly was honest it was to protect herself as well. She could fight better standing then having him standing over her while she was stuck on a couch.

"I'm keeping the baby, it is my baby! If you have a problem with it leave!"

Looking at Pete she suddenly made a final decision. In a calm voice Sam said

"Actually Pete I think you should go no matter what. This isn't working and I'm not in love with you. Never have been. This isn't your baby and we both know it. I do care for you but it's not what I want, you're not what I want." With that said Sam left the room passing Mark who had been listening from the door since the yelling started.

"You bitch you just lead me on…"

"Stop right there Pete, I think you should do as Sam asked. I don't agree with what Sam has done but she is my sister and she'll get my full support." Mark said as he jested for the door. Pete followed Mark's instruction and left. But he had left a few nasty phone message on her phone over the next couple of days. Sam had felt better, the morning sickness eased and she had more energy than she can remember in a long time. She had stayed at Mark's for the remainder of the first week then headed back to Colorado to do some damage control.

Sam went into the infirmary to see Janet and tell her everything that had happened with Pete while she was away. Janet was just finishing up with a lady who Sam suspected to be Kerri Johnson the CIA Agent that had gone through to see Jack.

"Hi Janet, just came to see if you are available tonight?"

"I'm sorry Sam, I've already made plans for dinner but that's not till late so we could get together early for a drink." Janet suggested.

"Hi. Sorry Colonel Sam Carter." Sam said as she held out her hand to the woman looking at her.

"Ah, hi. Kerri Johnson, nice to meet the final member of SG1." She said shaking Sam's hand.

"You meet Daniel and Teal'c?"

"Yeah, they came through to the Beta Site with me. Ooh Jacob's your dad right?"

"That's correct. They've all behaved themselves I hope?"

"Most of the time, I think Jacob and Jack had a few words but other than that everyone behaved." Kerri notices the look between the two ladies and just shrugged it off.

"Well sorry to interrupt but Sam I have to finish this and then do some reports for the General, Sam, I'll see you at the normal place say 1700 hours?" Janet said noticing the look Kerri was giving her and Sam.

"Yeah sounds good, I'm not on duty till next week so I'll be there. Do you know if the General is busy today?"

"I have no idea, but the Beta Site debriefing isn't until later today so he might be free now."

"Thanks, bye Janet. Nice to meet you Miss. Johnson, enjoy your stay at the SGC." Sam replied. As she exited the infirmary she heard, "You to Colonel."

Sam headed to General Hammond's office as she approached the door she felt like she was about to lose her morning breakfast. The nerves were starting to get the better of her. She was ready to run in the other direction. It didn't take Sam long to figure she was keeping the baby, it just took longer to accept the decision that she will not be going off world any more and that her dream of commanding her own team will no longer be an option for her. Her dad was right, it was time for her and her unborn child. No matter what happens in there she would be happy.

Sam knocked on the door.

"Enter!"

"Would you have a couple of minutes free Sir?"

"Colonel have a seat. Hope you have enjoyed your down time?"

"Yes Sir I had a relaxing week with Mark and his family."

"What can I do for you?" Seeing that she was having trouble starting what she wanted.

"Sir, I'm… I ….sir I can't take command of SG1 sir."

"Excuse me Colonel?"

"Sir, I am here to request leave of absence from the Air Force."

"Colonel what's going on?"

"Sir, what I am about to tell you is not common knowledge and very personal sir. I… I'm pregnant with General O'Neill's baby sir and no he doesn't know sir."

Too many sir's in there Sam, calm down you aren't standing in front of a firing squad. She commanded herself.

"Colonel, did I just hear you right."

"If you mean that I just told you that I am pregnant and it's the General's, yes sir."

"How long have you known?"

"About a week for sure but a little over two. I kind of figured it out while we were at the Tokra home base."

Hammond sat there for a little while just staring at her, she had the feeling she was under scrutiny.

"I can't let you leave this base Sam." Hammond looked at her with a sad smile.

"What?"

"You do realize that if your pregnancy becomes public knowledge you and your baby will be in danger."

"Sir what are you trying to tell me." Sam was at a total loss what the General was trying to say.

"Sam this baby has your's and Jack's DNA." Seeing Sam still didn't understand.

"You are the smartest person on this base and you haven't figured this out yet. Something defiantly's not right." He chuckled.

"Sam you were a host to a Tokra, you have Naquida in your blood, Jack has the Ancient gene in his. The NID find out about this they will kill you to get this baby."

Sam just sat there stunned. Slumped in the chair, all she could say was, "SHIT!"
