A/N: I feel it rather necessary to inform you all that my sister, ctp6 (who is not a writer on this site), is beta'ing this and most of the humorous lines in here (such as the one about coppers in the last chapter and itchy clothing) are her doing. You should all PM her and force her to write - her name is Courtney. She doesn't watch Stargate, but I'm sure I could...work something out with her viewing habits. BUT if you like The Story Girl, she's fluent in the language and universes of L.M. Montgomery. MAKE HER WRITE!

Thanks so much for your reviews! I really appreciate all fourteen of them!


Janet sent a rather hazy smile to Sam from across the short distance that separated their beds within the bleak walls of the infirmary. Janet was still coming off the high from the sedatives that she had been given during labor. Poor Sam was beginning to wish that she had been on sedatives during her own labor- one cannot expect to walk away from a rapid delivery in a parking lot without any side affects.

Kristie's voice, though still out in the corridor, broke the silence. "Just get me my damn epidural! Don't make me remind you of what happened last time, Dr. Warner!"

While Sam and Janet didn't know it, though they might have guessed it- the terrified doctor looked down at the twenty-one year old in fear. Although had been three years to the day, he would never forget what had happened the last time Kristie had given birth. "Don't worry, Kristie! The epidural is on the way."

"Ahhh!" Kristie screamed as the brunt of the contraction hit her. "Get it here fast, Dr. Warner. Unless you want to know what it feels like to be castrated by fire."

Sam and Janet snorted as the surgeon ran from room to room to find out where the epidural that would save his manliness was. The nurses wheeled Kristie over to the bed next to Sam's while the other two women calmed down.

"It's okay, Kristie, just breathe," Janet said as she watched the woman's face squeeze up in pain. "I just had my baby half an hour ago; I know how much this is hurting you."

"Did your baby suddenly decide to send shock waves to course through your body?" Kristie asked as she tried to ride out the pain.

Janet and Sam shared a horrified look. While Sam's labor had been short, she knew the meaning of pain – and that sounded painful. Sam was about to say something when Dr. Warner came rushing back into the infirmary screaming, "I got it! I got it!"

Kristie looked at him and pulled him over to her bed with her eyes. When he was close enough she grabbed his lab coat, "Get. This. Baby. Out. Of. Me. Now," she said in a low, dangerous voice. "I want a C-Section."

Her eyes went wide, as she felt a pain greater than any she had ever endured. It was at least a hundred times worse than the last time she had given birth. Jeff ran into the infirmary at the sound of her screams, even though she had told him to stay outside. What he found was Janet, Sam and Dr. Warner all looking on in shock as the baby literally climbed her way out of the womb.

Jeff raced over to catch his child as she came crawling out of the womb, being born her own way. Kristie fell back onto her bed in utter exhaustion, happy at last that the tremors coursing through her body had subsided in a dull ache.

The proud new father looked down at the messy bundle that was his daughter, a goofy smile playing on his face as he watched her cry.

"Captain O'Connor?" a nurse asked timidly from his side. "I…I need to wash off the baby and perform the necessary tests on her, sir."

Jeff glanced at her, remembering where he was, "Oh, right. Yeah." He handed the nurse the baby girl who had stopped crying and was now down to a fuss before Jeff turned to his wife and went over to her bedside.

"You did it, Kris," he whispered lovingly. "You brought our baby girl into the world. Thank you so much."

Kristie smiled sleepily at him, "You're welcome. Can I sleep now? I haven't really slept since I was three months pregnant with the quads."

Jeff chuckled, kissing her hair lightly. "Sure, honey. I'll tell the kids."

Kristie nestled down into her pillow and blankets, "Tell them their baby sister Raesha Isabelle O'Connor is born."

Sam looked at Jeff, mouthing, "Raesha Isabelle?" as Kristie nodded off to sleep.

Jeff mouthed back, "My mom."

"Oh," Sam mouthed. "That explains it."


JR, Cosette, Mike and Elijah were all bouncing off the walls at the news that Mommy had had her baby and they were all older siblings (especially good news for Elijah, who was constantly reminded that he was pulled last from their mother's womb). Raesha Isabelle O'Connor was already loved so much by her siblings even though they hadn't even met her yet!

"When can we see her? When can we see her? When can we see her?" Cosette chanted, jumping up and down using her father's leg as leverage. "I want to see my baby sister!"

"I wanna see Mommy!" Mike yelled, "When can we see Mommy?"

Jeff tried his best to calm down his stepchildren (who were his real children for all intents and purposes), "Calm down guys! Mommy and Raesha are sleeping right now. Dr. Brightman is going to call us when they wake up, okay? We can see them then. But for now," Jeff turned their attention to the cakes (one red and blue, the other white and green) being wheeled into the room by two SF's who looked a little…miffed at having been given the duty, "I believe it's someones' birthday today."

The four children watched in delight as all their friends and their parents (who weren't on duty at the SGC) sang them 'Happy Birthday' four times over to commemorate the births that had taken place on that day three years before.


It had been decided that Thor, while on his way to Earth, would travel to all the planets which were sending representatives for the birthday celebrations in his newest ship: The Jack O'Neill III. He hoped that this ship wouldn't suffer the fate of its predecessors- he already been through three ships this month alone. And with the intergalatic economic crisis, his pocketbook wasn't as full as it once was. Damn Inflation!

So far Thor had two people from the Land of Light, five Jaffa, and two Tok'ra, on board and they just needed to stop by the planet of Heberdan to pick up Warrick, his new wife, Katelynne, and Warrick's brother, Eamon.

It had surprised Thor when there had to be a random selection chosen for his three companions on the voyage – he had truthfully not expected that so many Asgard would wish to go to the 'petty' celebration of the births of Kristina O'Connor's four children. Nonetheless, there were around fifty Asgards who had volunteered for the journey, but in the end it was Heimdall, Gefjon and Tyr who accompanied Thor.

Jacob paced the bridge of the ship as Thor set the autopilot. "Can't this thing go any faster?" the Tok'ra asked Thor rhetorically.

While Thor understood the purpose of the question, Tyr did not. The Asgard (one can only assume is male because his name was a male name) looked at Jacob blankly with wide eyes, "The ship is traveling at hyper speed, that's twice the speed of any Goa'uld vessel could hope to achieve."

Jacob rolled his eyes while his companion Tok'ra (Shallan – the woman Jack rescued from being Ba'al's lotar, and who was now host to Selmak's mate, Soma), giggled at the antics of the Asgard as well as her mate.

Shallan reached over to grasp Jacob's hand, "Be still, Jacob. We will reach Earth soon enough. Are you that eager for a diplomatic meeting between our two peoples? Or do you just yearn to see your daughter?"

Jacob sat by Shallan, his eyes flashing as Selmak took control. Shallan's eyes flashed similarly as Soma took control to talk with his mate. Selmak spoke first, "We are eager to see the reactions of those at Stargate Command when they learn of your existence, our loves. Samantha still does not know that we even were mates before I blended with Jacob. We are worried."

Soma stroked Selmak's cheek, "We are worried as well. O'Neill was once the host of Kanan and may still feel…something for Shallan."

"All will be well," Jacob said, now that he was back in control of his body. "For all our sakes, it must be."

Gefjon watched the interaction between the two Tok'ra closely. She'd never before witnessed such passion and love shared by four people so mutually and completely before. Even when she had studied the Tauri of Earth, she had not seen anything like the show that now played before her.

Someday, when their cloning problem was fixed, and they had bodies that could reproduce the way humans did…someday she hoped to have a relationship with as much love as she saw before her. A relationship with as much love as the one Jack and Samantha shared…as much love as Kristina and her husband, Jeff, shared. That would be worth the wait – and the fight to survive.


A/N: Please review! Oh, and the part about Thor's ship expenditure was ctp6 as well.
