Chapter Three

The News

It was only a few hours later when Janet called Sam back to the infirmary. She in her office, talking with Jack and Daniel, Teal'c was doing talking with the general about seeing his family again some time soon.

When she hung up the phone, the other two were instantly curious, but she refused to say anything and walked out of the door and down to the infirmary. Taking a deep breath, she walked inside. Janet took her to a secluded room where they could talk and sat her down on the bed.

"So," Sam said. "What's wrong?" She bit her lower lip.

"I ran all the tests I could think of, Sam, and there's nothing wrong, per say but…" she took a deep breath; time to be blunt. "Sam, you're pregnant."

Sam's eyes widened and her world spun. Janet steadied her with a hand on her shoulder. Sam rubbed her hand through her hair…horrified. "You're sure?" she croaked.

Janet nodded."100 sure. Sam, do you have any idea who the father is?"

Sam groaned and put her hand on the forehead and nodded. "Yes," she whispered. She looked up to see Janet standing infront of her, curious, but not prying. "Jack," she said. "It's Jack."

Her friends hand stiffened. "O'Neill. But Sam that's…"

"Against regulations? I know, Janet. This was back on that planet…with the snow? We had to stay warm and he said the SGC would understand…" she was babbling uncontrollably, fighting back tears.

Janet nodded. "The excuse is good, and I must admit…if it hadn't been for that you might have had less of a survival chance." She smiled slightly. "However, this is the consequence. How are you going to handle it."

Sam gulped, trying to get rid of the knot in her throat. "I don't know…I just never imagined…I…" she stopped and sighed. "I can't get an abortion, Janet, I just cant."

Her friend smiled. "I wouldn't either. Can you live with adoption?"

Sam shook her head. "No. That leaves…keeping it. Him. Her. I don't know!" she wailed, horrified. For the first time in a long time she could not see the correct solution to the problem. Licking her lips, she thought. "I guess…I guess I could keep the child."

"You will have to tell Jack," Janet said.

Her breath caught in her throat again. "I suppose I will," she whispered, now completely horrified. She felt alone. Suddenly a thought hit her. "Janet…will I have to quit the SGC?"

Janet grimaced. "Sam…you'll have to ask General Hammond."

Sam left the infirmary at a steady pace, her face set. Tears streamed down her face, breaking the illusion of perfect calm. She passed O'Neill and Daniel in the hallway. Jack said something to her, a greeting she thought, then noticed the tears on her face. He stopped and turned, following her, calling after her and asking where she was going. Daniel began to follow too. She didn't listen, only kept walking.

She passed Teal'c as she entered Hammond's office. He was just leaving. She ignored him too and kept going, closing the door into the Generals office.

Outside, Daniel, Jack and Teal'c clustered around the window in the office.

"Daniel Jackson," Teal'c asked. "What is wrong with Major Carter?"

"Well gee Teal'c," O'Neill snapped his answer instead. "If we knew that we wouldn't be snooping would we?"

Teal'c raised an eyebrow, swayed slightly by the Colonel's response. He looked at Daniel.

Daniel shrugged. "The last thing we knew, she was got a call from Janet to go to the infirmary…we were going to see what happened when we passed her in the hall…like that," he gestured to Sam in the office.

"Oh for crying out loud! Will you both shut up?" Colonel O'Neill snapped. "I can't hear a thing!"

"Major Carter?" General Hammond asked, standing up as he saw Sam enter. "What's wrong?"

Sam leaned against the door for a moment, and turned to the window outside of General Hammond's room. She saw three faces duck as she turned. Walking to the window, she glared and slid the blinds down, making the room more private.

No fancy words. Nothing but bluntness. The easy way to do it. "Sir," she started, wavering with the first words. Had to be blunt. Had to make it quick and easy. "Sir, I'm pregnant," she said.

Hammond laughed and sat down in his seat, motioning for Sam to do the same. "Well congratulations, Carter. No reason to cry. Now, if I may ask, who's the father?"

Sam took a deep breath. "Sir, I think I am resigning from the SG-C."

The smile slipped off of Hammond's face, his light-hearted attitude disappeared. "But why, Major?" he paused. Again, he asked, hoping he did not just put two and two together, "Who's the father?"

Carter looked down. "It'sO'Neill, sir," she said. Before he could explode, she continued, telling him the situation they had been in.

Hammond examined his hands for a long moment after the explination. "Due to you being an asset to the SGC, and the fact that I just can't let you leave, Carter…the SGC acknowledges the act between you and Colonel O'Neill to be one of survival. Unless you really want to, don't resign, Major."

Sam could have fainted, she was so happy. "Thank you, sir," she said, wiping the tears from her eyes.

"You do understand, Major, that from here on out until a month or so after the baby is born, your trips through the Stargate are terminated. Don't protest, Major," he said when Sam opened her mouth. "You will remain on base, in your new quarters and your lab, working on objects deemed safe by others brought back through the Stargate. If you wish, Major, you may consider the base your main home for the next few months."

Sam nodded, understanding, and smiled. "Thank you, sir," she said again, at a loss for words. She stood up, and the general did too.

"Major," Hammond said before Sam left. Sam turned. "We'll find some way for you to keep the child and remain here," he said. "Someone will be able to take care of it. "Oh and, Major? I'll have a few men move your belongings to your new room. I'll have them leave a note so you know where it is."

Sam smiled, surprised he understood, and nodded her thanks. Walking out the door, she found herself facing a pacing Daniel and a bored, though somewhat worried, Teal'c. O'Neill, apparently, had gone to find out more information. Teal'c stood up as Daniel turned to her.

"Sam!" the latter said, grabbing his friend (who had come to think of like a sister after all these years), "Are you alright? What happened?"

Carter smiled slightly, not a happily either. "I'm not going with you on missions anymore," she said sadly. "For a while, at least."

"Why?" Daniel protested. "There has to be some logical reason why, I mean you cant just up and…"

"Are you not with child, Major Carter," Teal'c asked slowly.

"What?" Daniel almost shrieked. "How ever did you come up with…" he paused when he saw Sam nod slightly. "…that…opinion," he finished his sentence before continuing. "Sam…how…who…"

"If you had been more observant, Daniel Jackson, you would have noticed Major Carter's odd behavior lately, starting shortly after her return trip from our snowed in mission," at Carter's odd look he continued. "You forget, Major Carter, that I have a son of my own."

Sam nodded, she had been wondering how Teal'c had been able to figure out her secret, when she thought she had kept it hidden.

"Then who's the father?" Daniel paused, his eyes widening. "Jack?"

Before Sam could say anything, she was interrupted by a masculine voice. "Did someone call, me?" Her eyes widened as she saw Jack, walking in the doorway, sweeping his arms out to the side, making a fashionable entry. "So, Carter, did you tell these guys what had you letting rivers out of your eyes? Does that mean you can tell me?"

Daniel let go of Sam's shoulders, and she suddenly wished she hadn't. "I…I'm sorry sir," she said, shaking her head. "I can't." and she slid past him and walked out of the room, down to her old bedroom.
