Chapter One
"Cheyenne Mountain Complex, how can I help you?" The usual voice answered as Agent Barrett called the SGC.
"Agent Barrett for Colonel Samantha Carter." It had been over two years since he last heard from Sam. Over two years since O'Neill had left the SGC, retired and replaced by General Landry. And 11 months since Sam had been featured in any post mission reports.
"Hold Please" The voice hadn't changed in 10 years. Since the SGC had begun the same woman answered the phone and Barrett suspected that it wouldn't change in the next ten.
"Daniel Jackson." Barrett was definitely confused to hear the voice of Doctor Jackson.
"Doctor Jackson, this is Agent Barrett. I'm sorry I was attempting to contact Colonel Carter." There was a pause on the line and Barrett knew that Jackson was only half paying attention to him.
"Sam's not here. She's on leave." Daniel's voice definitely sounded distracted. Barrett didn't need to ask to know he was working on something and his phone call was an unwanted intrusion.
"Leave? I thought she never took leave." It was definitely unusual for Sam to take leave. As the phone call progressed, Barrett became alarmed.
"Yeah, not normally, but she really didn't have much of a choice this time. She's on Maternity Leave."
"Maternity Leave? Colonel Carter has a baby?" Barrett was at a loss for words. He knew she was engaged to Pete Shanahan, but he hadn't heard word of a wedding and he certainly hadn't heard of a pregnancy.
"Yeah, 2 months ago now. A little girl, Keely Abigail. 7 pound, 9 oz. She has her mum's eyes and her dad's hair. She's a beauty." Barrett could hear the pride in the Doctor's voice. He levelled his own before speaking.
"I'll bet. Well, could you please give me an address I could contact her at? I'd like to send my congratulations to her and her fiancé."
"Sure, have you got a pen?"
"Go ahead."
"Ok, it's 326 Holland drive, Colorado Springs." Barrett quickly scribbled the address on a slip of paper.
"Thank you Doctor Jackson. Goodbye."
"Sure, anytime." Agent Barrett hung up the phone and stared at the slip of paper in front of him. The address was familiar. He should know that address. Turning to the computer he looked up the records of the address. When the screen showed the names of the owners all Agent Barrett could do was stare in shock.
326 Holland Drive, Colorado Springs, owned by General Jack O'Neill and Colonel Samantha Carter.

Author's Note:
I'm posting the 2nd (and last) chapter of this immediately because I'm going away for a week and I hate waiting for others to continue their story. I'm so impatient. I just hope anyone reads this and actually likes it enough to continue to the second chapter.
