Ch 25: The Surprise.

As the weeks flew by, Sam and Jack had managed to get used to their new jobs. Things seemed to run smoothly, there hadn't been a 'weird' situation that Jack could not take care of.

One hot day in May, SG-1 was supposed to come home. They had been on a planet for a several days, Daniel had columns and columns of writing and had begged for the chance to try and decipher the Ancient writing. Sam agreed and spent most of her time talking to the leaders about the deposit of Naquadah they had and how they could trade for some.

-

Jack sat around in his office, asking himself: How did George ever manage it? When things got quiet, it was boring. He turned on the TV and watched a police pursuit, he was just about to switch the channel when he heard the Stargate activate. He quickly got up and hurried into the control room.

"It's SG-1, sir." Walter said, barely looking up.

"Open the iris," Jack replied. He smiled as the iris opened and SG-1 arrived on the other side. He walked down to the embarkation room. "So, how'd it go?" he asked as he rubbed his hands together.

"Well, it went well… sorta." Daniel muttered.

"Sorta?"

"Yeah, sorta…" He replied nodding. "Didn't find out everything it said on the columns- the kids kept on bothering me to play with them, so-"

"Briefing two hours, go get cleaned up, and Okayed from the doctor," Jack ordered, walking closer to Sam and kissing her on the cheek before heading back to his office.

----

Later in the briefing room…

Sam and Daniel sat on the end of the table while Teal'c sat in the middle looking calm as ever, a contrast to Sam and Daniel who looked bit anxious. Jack walked into the room and sat down. "So, what happened? Are they going to make the trade?"

Sam looked over at Daniel, then back at Jack. There was a moment of silence before both Daniel and Sam said. "They want-"

"One at a time, please!"

"Well," Daniel started slowly. "They won't trade unless they are trading with the leader of the base… and that's you."

Jack looked at all of them. "Why?"

"They said they only trade with leaders, Sam tried to talk them out of it, but I guess it didn't work very well." Daniel crossed his arms.

"Do you think it's-"

"Yes, I do," Sam interrupted. "We could use this Naquadah so much, and-"

"Okay, when do they want me?" He asked.

"As soon as possible, I think this race is harmless, but… they want you to only bring one body guard." Sam said looking down. This was her husband! If something happened to him, she could never forgive herself for letting him go.

Jack nodded slowly. "Okay… Teal'c? You up for it?"

"Indeed." Teal'c said with a slight bow. "Shall we depart at once?"

"Yeah." Jack stood up and walked out of the room. "Give me ten minutes."

Sam sat there, rubbed her forehead, and prayed everything would go well.

----

Ten minutes later, Sam watched as he husband walked through the Stargate, she knew the race was a friendly race, but she couldn't help but worry about him. What if they were going to kill him?

"Sam?" Daniel asked as he tapped on her shoulder. "Do you want to go and get something to eat with me?"

Sam turned to him and forced a smile. "Sure." She followed him into the commissary. Instead of eating, she picked at her food.

"Sam, aren't you going to eat?" Daniel asked.

Sam looked at him. "No, I'm not hungry…"

Daniel sighed silently. "He's going to be just fine, quit worrying!"

Sam smiled. "I'm sorry."

"Up for a game of chess?"

"Chess?"

"Yeah, it'll get our minds off of stuff." He said as he took a bite into his burrito.

"Okay…"

----

After the fourth game of chess Sam was worrying more then she had in the commissary. Jack had been gone for an hour and a half, shouldn't he be back by now?

"Hey!" Janet said as she walked into the room and sat down at the table. "Oh, chess."

Daniel smiled. "Want to take my spot? I've lost the last four games in a row."

"No, I'm fine, thanks, I'm not a chess person." She turned to Sam and smiled. "So, how are you?"

"Fine." Sam said as she stood up and began to pace around the table. "I just hope he's okay."

"He's in the hands of people who wouldn't know how to shoot a gun. Sam, he's fine. Not to mention Teal'c is with him." Daniel reassured her.

That didn't seem to ease Sam's mind. She suddenly felt very dizzy; she grabbed the table for support. "Whoa…"

"Sam?" Janet asked getting up and walking over to her. "Are you okay?"

Sam nodded slowly but it seemed to make her dizzier.

"Come on, I want you to come to the infirmary."

----

Sam swung her legs over the infirmary bed and sighed, even though she had insisted she was fine, Janet had done a full test on her. Sam waited patiently for her to come back with the results. Okay, so she didn't know why she had gotten dizzy, but she was sure it wasn't anything, maybe she hadn't slept well enough the last couple of days.

Janet walked slowly back into the room, and from the expression on her face Sam knew something was up. "What's wrong?" she asked starting to become a little worried. "Janet?" Janet walked over to her and sat next to her.

"Sam, you're pregnant."

Sam froze. "What?" Did she really just say I was pregnant? "That's impossible… I- we-"

"Sam, trust me, you are." She smiled. "Congratulations!"

Sam sat in shock. "You're serious?"

"Yes, Sam, I am."

Sam let out a small breath. "What… what if Jack-"

"Sam, he's going to be thrilled, trust me." Janet patted Sam's shoulder.

Sam smiled. "JANET!" She squealed.

----

Jack arrived in the SGC with a frown on his face. The trade hadn't went well, they had wanted fifty crates of guns (or any type of weapon beyond their own primitive bows and arrows) in exchange for the Naquadah, but they wouldn't say what the guns would be used for. And Jack decided since they had managed this long without it, they could manage another couple of years.

"Good evening, sir." Walter said as he hurried down into the room. "Your wife, sir… she fainted-"

That was all he had to say, Jack was off as fast as he could towards the infirmary. Sam had fainted? He knew Janet would make sure she that she was okay. He pushed open the doors and found Sam and Janet on the bed talking, what was wrong? Sam turned to him.

"Jack?" she asked, she stood up and hurried over to him.

"Are you okay? Sam? I heard you fainted." He checked her over.

"I didn't faint!" Sam said. "I got a bit dizzy, that's all." She smiled up at him.

"Dizzy? Why? What's wrong?" he asked, he was beginning to get really worried. "Sam? What's wrong? Are you okay?"

"I'm fine Jack!" she said. "But I might be getting a little fat soon."

"I uh… what?"

"A little O'Neill will be joining us soon."

"What?" Jack stared at her before it hit him. "You're pregnant?" He asked. Sam nodded. "WHOO!" He picked her up and threw her over his shoulders and spun her around. "We're pregnant! We're pregnant!" Teal'c walked into the room looking a little confused. "Teal'c! We're pregnant! We're going to have a baby!"

Teal'c smiled. "That is good news. Congratulations."

"JACK, PUT ME DOWN!" Sam demanded she began to pound on his back.

Jack continued to spin her around. "YEE-HAW!" he to the door and ran out of the room, shouting down the halls "We're going to have a baby!"

"JACK!" Sam shrieked. "Let me down! Right now!" she held back a laugh, her smile couldn't get any bigger then it was now. "JACK!"

He ran down to the control room, still carrying Sam on his shoulders, he ignored the punches that Sam gave him and the demands to let her down. "Walter!" he shouted as he reached the room. "Dial the Tok'ra up now!"

Walter seemed worried. "What's wrong, sir?"

"Nothing! We're pregnant!" Jack shouted and he spun Sam around again.

"Jack, I'm going to be sick!" Sam screamed on the top of her lungs. "JACK!"

Jack quickly sat her down on a chair. "I'm sorry, are you okay?"

Sam laughed. "I'm fine, Jack." She smiled. "I'm so glad you're happy about this."

Jack sat next to her. "I'm so excited about this Sam, I love you." He leaned over and to kiss her.

Sam held her hand over her mouth. "You might not want to do that," she muttered, she quickly stood up and ran to a trashcan and emptied her lunch.

Jack hurried over. "You okay, honey?"

"Let's see someone spin you around a million times." She said holding her stomach. "Don't worry, Janet says I'm fine."

Daniel ran into the room at top speed, he didn't have the chance to stop, so he crashed into Sam and they fell to the ground. "God! Sam! I'm so sorry! Janet just told me-"

"Sam, are you all right?" Jack asked as he got on his knees.

"What happened, I'm sorry!" Daniel finished. "Are you okay?"

Sam burst into laughter. "It's going to be a pain living with you two for nine months!" she said between laughs.

Teal'c walked into the room, he looked down at the people on the ground. "Are you injured, Major Carter?"

The whole room burst into laughter.

----

Later that day…

Jack drove Sam and himself back to their house, although they technically weren't done with work, but that was one advantage of being in command. They pulled up to the house, they had planted flowers when they first moved in, and they were beginning to bloom. Jack hurried and unbuckled his seat belt, rushing over to Sam's door he helped her out.

"Jack! I'm fine!" she insisted pulling her arm away from Jack. Just because she was pregnant didn't mean she couldn't walk by herself.

"Sam, you're pregnant!" Jack said.

"I don't feel any different though!" she said a little too loudly, the neighbor raking up dog poop next door looked over at them. "Thank you." She added quietly. "I can manage on my own for right now, but when I weigh two hundred more pounds, I will gladly accept your help."

"Okay," Jack said. "At least let me carry your bag." Sam smiled slightly, shaking her head she handed him her purse.

Together they walked into the house. Jack insisted that he cook and that Sam should put her feet up. But Sam had her own plans. She wasn't the words best cook; in fact the only thing she could cook that turned out decently were pop tarts. She wanted to learn how to cook better, so when the baby came along it could brag about how good its parents cooking was.

"Two more." Jack instructed as he handed Sam another two eggs. "Here you go."

"Thank you." Sam took the eggs and cracked them into the bowl. "No! I got another piece of a shell in here!" she reached in and pulled it out. "You didn't see that."

"See what?" Jack asked.

Sam smiled and cracked the other egg with dropping a piece of the shell into the bowl. She picked up a fork and began to stir it. "It's not so hard." She said.

"Your dad told me about the incident with you and cooking…" Jack said with a smile.

"He did?" Sam almost dropped the bowl. "That man… don't you give me that look! I was seven!"

"Hey! I could make toast at five without somehow making the toaster over set on fire, then causing it to burn the brand new counter your dad had installed the day before."

Sam groaned. "It was not my fault! That toaster oven was… well it was… defected! It was defected!"

"Oh, sure it was," Jack said. "Would that have something to do with you working on it?"

"I did not touch that toaster oven until that day!"

Jack smiled at her. "Why don't we get back to our cooking lesson?"

Sam glared at him. "Fine."

----

Later that night…

Cassie, Janet, Daniel and Teal'c arrived around seven, just in time for dinner, which was breakfast, made by Sam herself. The sausage and bacon were a bit over done, but over all things tasted fine.

"I told you Sam you guys needed a kid- you should have five by now." Cassie said as she shoved a piece of sausage into her mouth.

Sam coughed on her eggs.

"Cassie!" Janet scowled. "I don't know where she's getting this anymore."

Cassie leaned next to her mom and put her head on Janet's shoulder. "I love you, mom."

"Get away from me." Janet said playfully shoving her away. "She won't stop hugging me."

"That's because it bugs you." Cassie said with a grin. "Did you know that she's ticklish on her head? She'll never go into a beauty salon to get her hair done, because she squeals so loudly? If you blow on it-"

"Cassie!" Janet said warningly.

"Really?" Sam asked. "I've never heard over someone whose head was ticklish, doesn't it tickle to take a shower?"

Janet looked down and blushed slightly. "No, because there's more pressure, it's the light touching that gets it."

Sam held back a grin. "That's interesting."

Daniel exchanged glances with Teal'c who seemed to like the burnt meat and was already on his tenth piece.

Janet looked at Cassie. "Why don't we talk about how Dom-"

"I THINK something's burning." Cassie said with a smile to Sam.

"What? There's… oh!" she quickly stood up and ran to the oven, she grabbed her oven mitts and threw them on her hands, she quickly opened the door and pulled a cookie tray of what might have been cookies. "Crap!"

Cassie held back a laugh. "Um… chocolate chips?"

Sam laid the tray on the counter and sighed, okay, so maybe cooking wasn't as easy as she thought it was going to be.

----

Later that night, after all their guest had left, Sam and Jack laid in their bed, Jack was staring at a book while Sam seemed to be racking her brain. "Megan?" she asked.

Jack looked over at her. "I knew a Megan once, never liked her." He turned his attention back to the book. "What do you think about Nathan if it's a boy?"

Sam thought for a minute. "I like it, I think that's a pretty good choice." She wrote 'Nathan' on the list of baby names. "What about Joann?"

Jack wrinkled up his face. "Nah… how about Joseph?"

"That's nice." Sam said as she wrote the name down.

Jack marked the baby name book and turned to Sam. "If you don't like a name don't write it down." He said looking at the name list, every name he suggested was on there.

"I like them…" Sam said softly.

He turned back to his book. "How about Zerubabeline?"

Sam looked at him. "… I…" she turned to the list. "How do you spell it?"

"SAM!" Jack complained turning to her. "It was a joke, there is no way I would ever call my kid Zerubabeline!" Sam looked up at him, relief on her face. "Sam, I want you to keep the names you like, only the names you like, okay?"

Sam sighed and crossed off way over half of the names.

"Okay, what do we have for girls?"

"We have, Emma, Madison, Chloe and Alexis." She put her pen down. "And for boys, Riley, Stuart, Jackson, Nathan and Matthew."

Jack nodded. "Take off Jackson, will ya?"

Sam smiled and scribbled off the name. "So, how are we going to chose from all of these names?"

"Well, we could put all the girls into one bowl or something and all the boys into another bowl and draw." He suggested. Sam nodded and swung her leg over the bed, but Jack was too quick. "No! Let me!" he jumped off of the bed and disappeared out of the room. Sam shook her head slightly and pushed her leg back under the covers.

Jack came back with two bowls; they dropped all the names in it. They agreed that Jack would pick out the boy name and Sam the girl. Sam slowly reached in and pulled out a piece of paper. She carefully unfolded it and stared at the name. "If it's a girl, her name's going to be Emma." She said with a smile.

"What does that mean? Emma?" Jack asked, he reached over and picked up the baby name book and flipped to the E page for girls. "Universal." He reached in the 'boy' bowl and pulled out a name. He opened it then quickly picked up the baby name book.

"What is it?" Sam asked.

"Just a sec…" he said holding out his hand. "Stuart, means, 'Keeper of the Estate, a steward'."

Sam smiled. "I like them, do you?"

"Yeah, I love them." He leaned over and kissed her.
