Twins Chapter 3: The Baby Shower

The Baby Shower was held at Janet's house, as Jack's and Sam's new one wasn't ready yet, and it was the biggest one they could find. Jack looked at Sam, as he drove her over there, she was glowing, "Oh, honey, you are so beautiful."

"Are you kidding, I'm completely bloated, I can't seem to stop eating foods that would normally disgust me, and oh, did you know that my normally perfectly flat, athletic stomach is so far out, it has been three months since I have been able to see my feet!"

"I stand by my original opinion, you are gorgeous!" Jack said, and to elaborate, leaned over and kissed his blushing bride. They had been married for 9 months, give or take, and it still felt so new and fresh, and he couldn't believe how lucky he was. To him that meteor shower was a gift from the heavens, if they hadn't been stuck on that planet together, who knows how long it would have taken them to get to their senses about how they felt about each other.

Sam blushed, "All right, if you insist." The two of them rode in a comfortable silence the rest of the way to Janet's house.

Jack and Sam arrived at Janet's house in plenty of time. Jack was the perfect husband, he helped his wife, who looked like she would pop any second, out of the car and to the front door. Before they could ring the door bell, Cassie opened the door and through her arms around the couple. "Oh, I'm so glad your home! You have no idea how lonely we've all been without you guys around. And now you're having twins! Ahhh! Oh, I can't wait. And you know you can call me for babysitting services any time!"

At that moment, Jack and Sam were saved from Cassie's histerics by Janet and Daniel who walked in behind Cassie. Janet smiled, "Cassie I know that your excited to see them, but could you at least, let them in the house?"

"Oh, right, sorry."

Jack looked at Daniel, standing in the living room with his arm around Janet's face, "Daniel?"

"Jack?"

"Daniel? Is there something you wish to tell to the class?"

Janet blushed, and Daniel coughed on the coffee he had just swallowed, "Yeah, we never got a chance to go out and say it, it's been so new to us that we haven't been, you know, broadcasting it or anything..."

Cassie walked by, coming back from the kitchen, "They're dating." Cutting Daniel off.

"Thank You."

"What? You never seem to be able to just get to the point."

Jack looked inside, the place looked empty, except for Teal'c, who came out from the kitchen, and handed Jack and Sam, who had moved into the living room and sat down on the couch, their beverage choice, Beer for Jack, and Cranberry Raspberry Juice with Ginger ale for Sam. The one thing that she really missed from earth, was fruit, and she seemed to be eating them non-stop since she had been back. Jack looked around, "So... If you ladies are, um, all set, if you don't need anything..." Jack said, not wanting to tell them that he was going to be bored out of his mind if they made him stay.

Sam patted him on the leg, "Don't worry Jack, it's girl only. You, Daniel and Teal'c can go off and do your thing. You can come and pick me up at 10, make sure you bring your pick-up just in case."

Sam was at the end of the best part of the baby shower, opening the gifts. She had opened each one, thanked the gift giver, with Cassie by her side with a note pad, writing down what each give was and who the gift giver was. They had been some great gifts. Baby clothes, toys, bottles, rattles, but the piles was empty, she had opened the last gift, and it was only 9:30. Sam had never been to a baby shower since she was 12! And that was for her baby sitter's big sister down the street. But then behind her, Janet pulled out a walkie talkie, "We're ready." She had whispered, but Sam had still heard her.

"Ready for what?" Sam said turning around, using the look she had used on countless people who she worked over in the science lab, and as a soldier, but this look did nothing to deter Janet from her 'mission.' "Ready for WHAT?"

"You'll see..." Was all that she got from Janet, as well as a Chuckle from Cassie. And just then there was a knock on the door. Cassie jumped up and opened the door. In walked Daniel, Teal'c and Jack.

Teal'c stepped forward, and as not all the women in the room had security clearance, his speech was the cliff notes version, "Your customs say that when a friend is having a baby, you give a gift, and off all that I asked, they said that expensive things were prised above all else, so..." With that, Teal'c ran out and brought in a stroller with two seats and a bow on the handle. "The man in the baby store said that these are car seats as well, and the stroller can be transformed into what a toddler may need later on."

Sam knew it was probably hormones, but she was in tears at the beautiful gift that Teal'c gave them, "That's not all Sam," Daniel said, poking his head in. "This is my gift for you and your twins," Daniel carried in a changing table with all sorts of drawers and compartments underneath to hold baby stuff.

"Oh, Daniel, that's so sweet!"

Janet stood up, "Sam before you totally get choked up, I want to show you the gift that Cassie and I picked out, with Jack's help..." With that Teal'c and Jack came in carrying a crib. "And there's another one just like it, and we can put the baby's names on them, when they're born and have names..."

Sam stood up, with a lot of difficulty, and hugged Cassie, Daniel, Teal'c, Janet, and finally, her adorable, lovable, husband. "You all planned this together didn't you!"

Jack shrugged, "It was Cassie's idea. She had never been to a baby shower, and insisted that you have a big and great one."

Sam smiled, "Oh..." she said in happiness, but then her expression changed to uncomfortableness, "Oh!" Her hand reached out to Jack, when she said, "I think I'm going into labor!"

TBC...

What do you thing? I've only been to one baby shower myself, it was my baby sitter's when I was 12, and I've never had kids my self, so other than movies and TV, I have no idea what giving birth is like, so don't worry, I'll probably skip over most of it, and go straight to the happy fluffy feelings at the end. I hope you enjoyed it, good reading, and for god's sake, REVIEW! REVIEW! REVIEW!
