Look how good I've been, 2 chapters in 1 day. If you've got time can you review both of them please.
"Dad?" both Jack and Sam said in union. Then Jack realised it was probably not the best idea in the world to be calling Jacob dad at this precise moment in time, especially with the look of rage Jacob had on his face.
"Colonel O'Neill what the hell do you think you're doing to my daughter?" Jacob shouted, his body shaking with rage, "Have you completely lost your mind?"
Jack stood up slowly in order to put Sam and the bed between himself and Jacob. Jack felt as if he had been transported to his junior prom when his dates' dad had caught them making out in the back of the car. "So I guess you didn't tell him about us." Jack said to Sam in his usual sarcastic manner.
"It must have slipped my mind." Sam said looking at him and grinning despite the situation having missed the O'Neill wit whilst being away.
"Again I must ask, have you completely lost your mind what you're doing is against the regs, I won't let you throw away your career, Sam, over some fling." Jacob ranted.
Sam couldn't believe that her father thought so little of her, "For your information, dad, this is not just 'some fling' we love each other and have just found out we're going to have a new addition to our family" she said putting her hand on her stomach, Jacob stood motionless trying to take it all in.
"And for your information, Jacob, it's not against the regs as I am no longer Sam's commanding officer." As soon as the words had left Jack's mouth he swore to himself again as he had not meant for Sam to find out like this.
"You're not?" She said surprised and slightly hurt that he had not told her.
"No when you left I realised that I couldn't keep us a secret so I went to see Gen. Hammond and told him I wanted to resign…"
"You can't do that the SGC needs you" Sam interrupted.
"I know that's why Hammond wouldn't let me retire; instead he gave me a new job, I'm head of training and recruitment which means more paper work but more flexible hours so I can spend more time with you, the kids and the new baby when it arrives." Jack could see that Sam wasn't 100 happy with Jack going behind her back but she could hopefully see how excited he was about the new job and everything else. During their conversation Jack and Sam had completely forgotten about Jacob who was still stood in the doorway.
"Jacob are you okay?" Jack asked finally, he saw Jacob's head lower and his eyes glow momentarily as Selmak took control of the motionless Jacob.
"I must ask your forgiveness, both of you for Jacob, he is extremely shocked by this news so it is left to me to offer our congratulations. We are very pleased to be becoming grandparents once again."
"Thank you Selmak, at least one of you is happy." Sam said somewhat saddened by he father's reaction.
"Do not worry yourself Samantha; Jacob is mainly annoyed that he has lost a rather substantial amount of money to Gen. Hammond and that he was not here sooner to help you, once this anger has passed he, also, will be most pleased for the both of you. I also must inform you that Daniel Jackson and Dr Fraiser will be arriving soon with your children."
"If you don't mind me asking but what are you doing here?" Jack asked, still uncomfortable with speaking to Selmak and not Jacob.
"We are sorry that we were unable to arrive sooner but our base was found once again by the Goa'uld so we had to evacuate, we came hoping to spend some time with your family but once Jacob found that his daughter was injured we came straight here to see if we could aid in your recovery." Selmak said, bowing his head and allowing Jacob to take over once more.
Jack could see that Jacob and Sam would need some time alone to sort out their feelings and talk so he quickly made his excuses, "I'm gunna go and grab a coffee or something and then wait for Daniel and the kids to get here, I have a feeling he and Janet may need some help; especially with Sean" he said stepping gingerly past Jacob who was between himself and the door. Jack turned and looked at Sam and grinned, "Play nice" he said enticing a smile from her.
"Yes dad" she said back, as soon as Jack had left and the door closed behind him her smile dropped as her father once again took control of his body. With Jack gone he seemed to have calmed down considerably as he moved to the bed and sat down.
"So…" Sam said not knowing what to say but not liking the uncomfortable silence that had fallen between them.
Jacob could hardly find the strength to look Sam in the eyes after his outburst. "So I guess I'm finally going to meet my grandkids, I must admit I never thought I'd meet them in hospital."
It was at this moment that Sam realised just how stubborn her father really was, "So are we going to talk about your little outburst or just skirt around the issue."
"I'm sorry Sam I really wasn't even expecting you to be fully awake but then to see you and Jack…it was something I hadn't prepared for. I won't lie to you and say I'm happy about it but as long as you're happy I'm happy for you." Sam nodded accepting her dad's apology, "So I suppose I should be offering you my congratulations." He smiled as she smiled back surprised by how happy his daughter appeared.
"Yeah it wasn't really expected but I'm happy about it and I think Jack is too, the kids are well settled now so they should be fine with it as well."
"Good, I'm glad everything's worked out for them and you. This kids gunna be the first grandchild that I'm gunna see grow up from a baby, I mean I missed all that with Mark's kids and now Sean and Joey will be little people when I meet them…"
"Don't worry you'll be fine with them. So Selmak said you came here to help me?"
"Yeah I should be able to sort out all of your cuts that haven't healed and the one leg but I'm not too sure how much I can help with that one," he said gesturing to her leg in traction, "It depends how set the bones are but I should be able to help with soft tissue damage but I can sort all that out once you're transferred to the SGC."
Whilst Jacob and Sam had been mending bridges Jack had been nervously awaiting the arrival of his family, he hoped that after all of the time away from Sam that Joey would still recognise and trust her mom as in the weeks that Sam had been away Joey had changed greatly. Joey had certainly turned into a daddy's girl in the time that Sam had been away and he hoped Sam wouldn't feel she had missed out on too much. Jack was torm between wanting to wait for his kids and tell them what to expect and wanting to go back to Sam but he didn't want to get in the way of the father and daughter bonding that was undoubtedly occurring within Sam's room.
Jack grinned as he saw his youngest son bounding down the corridor dragging his brother behind him and leaving Daniel, Janet and Joey who was happily toddling between Daniel and Janet in his wake. When Sean saw his dad watching he broke free from Charlie and ran to Jack flinging himself at him, "Daddy" he said happily.
"Hey Sean how's my favourite little man?"
"'I'm ok daddy" Sean laughed
"Hey Charlie," Jack said as his son approached.
"Hey dad, Danny said mom's awake is she ok?"
"Yeah she's fine Jacob's in with her now." Charlie nodded in relief
"'llo dada…me up" Joey said as she, Daniel and Janet finally reached the rest of the family. Jack bent down and with a bit of juggling was able to balance Sean in one arm and Joey in the other.
"So do you guys wanna see your mom?" Jack asked Sean and Joey
"Yeah" Sean said enthusiastically.
"Momma, want momma" Joey said.
"Ok but you have to promise to be good" Jack said causing Sean to nod vigorously. "Can you tell Jacob we're coming in?" Sean asked Janet who nodded moving to Sam's room.
Daniel sat on the chair outside of Sam's room, "I'll go in once you're done" he said as Janet left the room followed by Jacob who sat down next to Daniel.
Jack went to the door and stopped, "Jacob aren't you coming in?" Jack asked
Jacob looked at the children in Jack's arms, Sean staring at him intently and Joey hiding slightly within the crook of Jack's arm, "No this is a time for your family I'll be in in a minute." Jack nodded and entered the room closely followed by Charlie. Jack went and stood by Sam's bed so the kids and Sam could get a good look at each other.
"Hey babies," Sam said amazed at how much all of the children had changed, Charlie had grown at least an inch and looked much more grown up. Sean's hair had completely changed from a Jackson cut as Jack had liked to call it to what could only be described as an O'Neill cut making him look like a miniature of his brother and father. Joey looked completely unlike the baby she had left behind, she was now a toddler her hair had grown as had she, she was also much more vocal.
Joey was repeatedly saying "Momma" and holding her hands out to her. Jack looked to Sam to make sure she was ok to hold Joey, Sam smiled in response.
"Hey baby girl" Sam said as Jack placed Joey in Sam's arms. Joey instantly quietened and snuggled up to Sam.
"Hey mommy, I'm glad you're feeling better" Sean said from his father's arms smiling manically.
"Yeah mom good to see you up, if not quite about. You had us worried for a while there if it was just to get dad's attention then you didn't really need to bother." Charlie said grinning causing Jack to playfully his him on the back of the head. The family stayed together in Sam's room for the next half hour until Sam was nearly falling asleep, Jack had to pry Sean and Joey away from Sam causing Joey to leave the hospital sobbing in Jack's arms delaying their meeting with Jacob for another day.
Next chapter Sam gets moved and possibly the meeting...
