Previously on Stargate SG-1:
"Unscheduled Off-World Activation!"
She ran off, and Janet got an idea. A wicked idea.
And now, the conclusion:
Janet hurried down the halls and ran into her Daniel. "Janet!"
She smiled. "Hi, Daniel. I'm sorry I don't have much time, but I need your help."
She hurried down the corridor with Daniel on her tail. "Janet! What are you doing?"
She turned. "Daniel, what did Sam need in order to become who she is today?"
He looked at her, confused. "What do you mean?"
"What did she finally have to do before she would let Jack into her life?"
"Oh, I thought you were talking about the fact that they just had a baby…sorry. Uh…she finally saw it after she came back from the Prometheus. Why?"
"The Sam in this reality isn't sure that she and Jack are meant to be together, so I was thinking. Maybe, we could…take a poll."
"A poll?"
"Of the other Samantha Carters. Who's with whom."
"Right…"
"Daniel!"
He turned to his wife. "I'm sorry. I just…are we sure they're not going to mind being treated as a bunch of test subjects?"
"Carters band together." She said, smiling as she ducked into the room full of Carters.
Daniel thought he had lost her until he saw her stand up on one of the desks. "Samantha Carters, I have a question to ask all of you, and to avoid duplicate information in my experiment, I would like to do this in the form of a poll. Any problems?"
For once, all of the Carters looked confused.
"Your fellow Samantha Carter is in trouble, and I think you'd all like to help her out. Am I right?"
She got a room full of head nods, and she grinned at Daniel.
"All right. Here's my question. This can be answered by a simple hand-raising. How many of you are married?"
Out of the eighteen Carters in the room, there were twelve hands that went up.
"All right, keep your hands up. This next part is just for you, then. Dr. Jackson, did you get that number? Twelve married."
Daniel quickly reached for a pen and paper and jotted down the number twelve next to the heading married.
"Of those of you who are married, how many of you are married to Jack O'Neill?"
Eleven hands stayed up in the air. "Dr. Jackson, that would be eleven married to Jack O'Neill."
He swiftly put in parenthesis- eleven to Jack O'Neill.
"Now, you may put your hands down. To the Samantha Carter who put her hand down, who are you married to?"
"Daniel Jackson." She replied, simply.
Daniel nearly choked, as did Janet.
"May I ask how that came to be?"
"Jack was killed in the line of duty a few years ago, and Daniel helped me raise our kids. Anyway, things…progressed, and now I'm married to Daniel."
"So, you were at one point involved with Jack O'Neill."
She nodded.
"Okay…that's one point for Jack. You were married to him, weren't you?"
She nodded.
"And another for Daniel Jackson."
The sheet now looked something like this:
Married: (One Samantha Carter was married twice)
To Jack O'Neill: 12
To Daniel Jackson: 1
"Now, for the rest of you, there should be six of you, right?" Janet looked to Daniel for confirmation and he nodded. "How many of you are or have been in any way involved with Jack O'Neill?"
Five hands were raised- including one slightly pregnant Samantha Carter. "Janet, I have kind of a unique story." She said.
"All right. We'll include that in the poll, if you wouldn't mind sharing."
"Of course not. When Jack's clone was retrieved by the Asgard, I was impregnated. We think that Loki performed some unsanctioned experiments with artificial insemination and that I was one of his test subjects. We're expecting twins in another six months."
Janet's eyes widened. "The Asgard?"
"Yep. Anyway, we're now engaged, but it wasn't without its…challenges." She said.
Janet exchanged a look with Daniel. "I understand, but we have to continue with the poll. All right, so…how many of you who have your hands raised are engaged to Jack O'Neill?"
Two hands were raised.
"That's two for being engaged to Jack." She said for Daniel's benefit. "And dating?"
The other three hands were raised.
"That's three for dating Jack." She turned to the one Samantha Carter who hadn't raised her hand to being involved with Jack. "And who are you involved with?"
"You're making the assumption that I'm involved with someone." She said, her arms crossed.
"So, that's one for entirely single?" Janet asked.
"No. I just said you were making the assumption."
"For crying out loud!" One of the Carters said. "We don't have time for this. If you're not single, just tell us who you're involved with!"
"Obviously one of the ones who's married to Jack," Daniel said, under his breath.
"Pete Shanahan. I'm engaged to Pete Shanahan." She said.
Daniel looked at Janet. Who the hell is Pete Shanahan? They mouthed at the same time.
"Well, thank you for your help. I'm sure we've got all the information we need now. Hope you all enjoy your lives with your Jacks. And your others." Then, Janet stepped off the table, onto the chair and Daniel helped her down to the floor.
"I tell you, if this doesn't convince her, I don't know what will." Janet said, smirking as she looked at the list.
Married: (One Samantha Carter was married twice)
To Jack O'Neill: 12
To Daniel Jackson: 1
Engaged:
To Jack O'Neill: 2 (One pregnant due to Asgard interference, but that's another story…)
To Pete Shanahan: 1
Dating:
Jack O'Neill: 3
"I just hope you know what you're doing, dear." Daniel said, as he hurried out of the room at the sight of the resident Samantha Carter.
