A/N: Thank you all so much for the encouraging reviews. Keep it up! It's my treat to you all: a chapter before I go off to take a harrowing test!


The weeks passed by quietly. The Ori threat was still out there, Kristie was still pregnant, Sam still wasn't pregnant, and life was still going on.

Kristie was playing ball with the children one day; while Camilla and Justin were busy 'cleaning the bedrooms', when suddenly she heard a motorcycle drive up to the house. Concerned, as she only knew one couple with motorcycles, Kristie left her four children to toss the ball back and forth with their powers, as was their game, to find out who was at the door.

The woman in leather burst into the room, looking at everything and nothing at the same time. Her hair was a windblown mess, and she looked like she'd been crying on the road.

"Melanie? What's wrong?" Kristie asked. She hadn't seen her friend in about a week (she took the kids to spend the day with their grandparents every Sunday because the couple wanted the four to be raised with religion in their lives) and was rather concerned. Melanie didn't usually come barging into her house like this. "When did you get a motorcycle?"

Melanie could barely speak; her mind was working so fast, "A couple days ago. I have something to tell you. But I think I need to see my nieces and nephews first. They always calm me down."

Kristie was wide-eyed with concern and wonder, "They're in the living room." Before she could add that Melanie might want to calm down elsewhere (she was still mostly in the dark about their abilities) the frenzied brunette was walking through the door that led to the family's living room.

"Oh. My. God!" and with that she passed out.

Cosette, Elijah, JR, and Mike were soon gathered around their aunt's limp body as Kristie checked her pulse and got her onto the sofa.

JR looked at her mother with wide eyes, "Is Auntie Mel going to be all right, Mommy?"

Kristie breathed a sigh of relief when she found a shallow, yet steady, pulse. "Yeah, babies. Auntie is going to be just fine. You all stay with her in case she wakes up, okay? I'm going to go get Camilla and Justin."

When their mother was out of earshot, Mike asked his siblings, "Why didn't she just tell one of us to get Cami and Justin?"

Cosette rolled her eyes, "Because, Mommy doesn't think that we know what Cami and Justin are really doing when they go into the bedroom to 'clean'."

JR looked at Cosette like she just told them all what composed Jell-O (not that in a year or so she couldn't do just that), "You mean Mommy doesn't know that they're really cleaning each other?"


"I really can't convince you to stay?" Jack asked as he, Sam, and Daniel spoke to Teal'c of his upcoming plans.

"Indeed you cannot, O'Neill. Our fight against the Goa'uld has been won. But the fight of the Jaffa for a free, stable nation like the ones here on Earth, and present throughout the greater races of the galaxies… that battle is just beginning. I must return to Dakara and help my fellow Jaffa win that war."

Sam looked at him sadly as Daniel said, "It just won't be the same here without you, Teal'c. We've all learned so much from you. You're like a part of the SGC itself."

Teal'c bowed his head in respect for the words meant to honor him, saying nothing in reply to his friends' words.

"Will you visit?" Sam asked finally. She had been quiet after learning of Teal'c's desire to leave Earth and the Tauri to move on with his life on Dakara.

"Indeed. I may find a new home on Dakara with which to continue my life and struggle for freedom and equality for all Jaffa, but this shall always be the home I had with you three for twelve years."

Sam grew even more nervous, "No… I mean, like spend about a month here for some… special… events?"

Teal'c raised his eyebrow, saying nothing. Daniel and Jack shared a look, wondering what Sam was getting at.

Her husband had a very good idea what it was she was trying to say – that nausea she'd been feeling the past week wasn't just indigestion, was it? Sam wouldn't say anything to confirm, or disprove his theory, but Jack was ninety-nine percent certain that he was right about his wife's illness and questions.

"Of what such event do you speak of, Samantha O'Neill?"

Sam smiled nervously, "Oh, you know, graduations, weddings, childbirth, did I mention weddings? I hear Daniel and Janet are planning on getting married next year."

"SAM!" Daniel cried agitatedly.

Her wide eyes met his frantically, "What?"

"Janet told you that as a secret!"

"Well she didn't tell me I couldn't tell Jack and Teal'c!"

Daniel was rather flustered with this, "Yeah, but, did she tell you, you could?"

"Not in so many words."

"SAMANTHA!" Teal'c boomed, bringing the scientists' banter to a halt and their attention to the present.

Sam looked sheepishly at the giant of a man, "Sorry, Teal'c. What were you saying?"

Teal'c's eyes held joy in them that the rest of his face only acknowledged by the slight smile that played on his lips. "Do you mean to tell us that you are with child, Samantha O'Neill?"

Her smiling face and nod was enough answer for all of them.
