A/N As I said, I'd have it up as soon as I finished... Thanks for the kind reviews! I dedicate this chapter to Virago500 merely because I agree with his/her comment. I would stop reading it too, and I'm the writer.
Taking a deep breath Carolyn gave them the answer.
"She's…" the doctor took a shuddering breath, "She's about four and a half weeks."
At this news Jack's head whipped around to look at Sam, and Sam's hands came to cover her face. Her sobbing began again, harder than before, as she tried to assimilate the news.
Carolyn was frozen to her chair. She couldn't tell whether or not they took it well. She couldn't see the Colonel's face because of her hands, and the only awareness she had of the General's reaction was the back of his head. Her fists tightened on the armrests as the scene unfolded in front of her.

Jack was frozen. Staring at the top of Sam's head the only thing going through his mind was 'I'm going to be a father'. Finally snapping out of it he grabbed her head, and with hands over each of her ears began to kiss any part of her he could see, muttering in between how much he loved her.
At the fluttering kisses bathing her head she pulled her hands away from her face to show her tear streaked cheeks and a smile that could only mean one thing. Taking the initiative to cover all the newly uncovered Carter-face, Jack continued his kissing, until they were in a passionate embrace that smoldered and burned like nothing they had experienced together.

Knowing that they had been together was different than watching them make-out in front of her. She kept still as she reveled in her relief at the smile gracing Sam's features when she looked up. They were going to be parents. Carolyn felt it time to excuse herself, and with a quiet cough whispered, "Congratulations" and headed for the door.
"Doc!" Turning quickly at Jack's yell she raised an inquisitive eyebrow at the father-to-be. He disentangled himself from Sam and got up and purposefully walked across the room.
Next thing Carolyn knew she was being hugged like she'd just saved the world, and just for good measure, she was assuming, she felt Jack O'Neill spin her around before depositing her back down on the floor. "Thank you, Doc. Thank you."
"Yes Carolyn, thank you so much! But, wait a minute… what about the not keeping food down thing, isn't that bad for he baby?" Sam added with a giant smile on her face.
The doctor was finally on familiar territory.
"Small meals Sam, nothing spicy, and if it ever gets this bad again, come back in and we'll give you another bag of fluids. Congratulations again on both the engagement and the baby. Feel free to use my office as long as you need ok?"
A resounding, "Oh we will Doc!" followed her out the door as she tried not to think about what might actually happen in her office in the next couple of hours.
A/N So there. Happy now? I actually have gotten a vote for T. Amazingly- seems everyone is kinda sick of the show's writers and their omission of anything Jack and Sam lately. I've got a great idea in mind for the story and I'm hoping I can write it as well as it is in my head. Stick with me... I promise it'll be good.
