The next morning they both went to dinner for breakfast before going their separate ways for the day.

Over the next four months have been both busy for Jack and Sam. They hardly see each other cause Sam was days away on end for her course and with Jack it was black ops missions. They did try to spend time together as well with Mark and the family.

At the first of June Sam graduated and passed all her courses and was top of her classes in all of them. The day of her graduation with all the others who have passed. Jack, Mark and Ann were there in their dress blues.

When Sam received her metals she received 'Air force organisational excellence' award, 'Air force Recognition' ribbon 'USA NCO PME Graduate' ribbon, ' 'Basic military training honour graduate' ribbon and 'Air force Training' ribbon'

When they were pinned onto Sam by the chief of staff, Sam tried to hold a straight face. When she returns back to her spot all she could do is wait till all the others get their medals and awards. When all the others did and class dismissed, they all stood at attention and saluted which chief of staff did in return.

All the families stood up and went and mingled. Sam walked over to where Jack, Mark and Ann are. She gave them all a hug and Jack a kiss

"Sam I'm proud of you"

"Thanks Jack, I'm glad that training is over"

"Same here, so what is going to happen now?"

"Don't know yet"

They talk for a few minutes before the chief of staff walks over to them. They all stood at attention and saluted the general that he did in return.

"At easy" they relax

"Captain Carter, I've read the reports about what you have done and accomplish in the past twelve months, I'm impress"

"Thank you sir… what is the next assignment sir?"

"From next Tuesday you will be training cadets at the academy hand to hand combat till we can find a replacement"

"What happened to the colonel sir?"

"He was being court marshalled for assault on five cadets, he put two of them into hospital with a broken leg or arm. From the reports he was to hard on them"

"Sounds like he hasn't change, sure I can handle it sir"

"I hope so Captain" they both smile. They talked for a few minutes before they went their separate ways.

Since Sam had a week off, she went to the academy one day to find out the training schedule when she saw that Monday was a free day. She was pleased since in two weeks time on the fifteenth there was going to be a big party at home.

Jack, Ann, Mark and herself have been talking about it. They decided to have a barbecue at the back of their home so long as Jack was not doing any cooking which he agreed to. They all were planning the triplets second birthday, John first birthday and Jack and Sam second wedding anniversary all at once. Sam had a relaxing week at home; she was able to catch up with her letters and magazines.

On Tuesday morning Sam walks into the training gym to see the cadets there. They look at Sam and wondering who she is

"Morning Cadets, are you all ready to learn hand to hand and have some fun"

"Who are you?" one of them asked

"You meant to Say who are you ma'am" one of them recognise Sam and stood at attention and saluted, which Sam did in return

"At easy cadet, at least some know knows who I am"

"Who is she?" one of them asked

"Captain Carter, am I right ma'am?"

"Yes you are" then the others click onto the name and how well known she is at the academy

"Your thee Dr Samantha Carter"

"Yes and it captain, now over the next few weeks I'm going to get to know who you are and how much you have done, so shall we get started"

Sam spent the next two hours teaching them the basics and for them to fight one on one with the moves she was teaching them. When they finish class she look at them all

"I'm please with what you have lean, on Friday I'm going to show you all four more moves and you guys please wear your crotch padding, if not…" they all grin

"Go on, I got another class in half an hour, dismiss" they all walk out while talking to each other Sam had four classes a day five days a week.

At the end of each class, she writes down notes till the next class shows up.

On Saturday afternoon Sam was teaching the last year cadets hand to hand when Jack showed up since he was spending the day at the academy and watching what Sam was doing. Jack screws his face up when one of the female cadets accidentally kicks her appondant in the crouch. The others stopped when they saw him on the ground. Sam walk over to check on the cadet and he heard what she said to him

"Don't worry you still will be able to have kids if you wear the protection cup from now on"

"Yes ma'am"

Jack smiled at what she said and knew that it made the cadet smile. When class was over Sam dismissed them after giving them advice. They all walk out smiling, laughing and giving the cadet a hard time knowing that they were just cheering him up. Sam walked over to where Jack is and gave him a kiss

"How was your day?"

"Good, yours?"

"Good, so ready to get out of here"

"Sure, after I have change"

"Ok I'll wait here for you"

Sam picks up her bag and walks out of the gym. Jack sat down and waited till Sam returned, he was looking forward to Monday's party and taking Sam to the spa so she could pamper herself. Ten minutes later Sam walk back into the gym

"Ready" Jack stood up and walked over to her.

They wrap their arms around each other as they walk out of the gym. They talk while they walk to where Jack truck is. They both got in and left the academy to go home. On their way they stopped off at a store and got an ice cream each, which they both enjoyed.

When they finished, they headed home so they could get a few things sorted out before leaving to go to a restaurant for dinner then to a movie. While Jack was getting the tickets, Sam got them a soda, large popping corn and ice cream covered in chocolate dip. When she got them she waited for Jack over in their normal spot. When he walked over to her she passed him his drink and ice cream.

"Thanks Sam shall we"

They walk up to one of the theatres where Jack shows the guy two tickets, he rip them in half and pass half of them back to him then he and Sam walk in and get their normal seats and sit down and wait. While waiting they were eating their ice creams before they melted. When the movie started the place was almost full.

When the movie was finished, everyone started leaving. Jack and Sam waited till the end before they left to go home. When they walked into their home, it was nice and cool since they got air conditioning on. They did their normal things before going to bed and getting some sleep.

The next day Sam had training classes all day, by the time she got home she was hot and tired. She heard voices coming from out back so she went to see who it was. She smiled when she saw her auntie Tracey, uncle Phillip, Grace, Mark and the family were all outside under a large open marquee that they had hired for the party on Monday.

Everything was party set up. Sam walked up stairs to her bedroom and got changed into her swimsuit then she grabbed a towel and walked back down the stairs and got herself a drink before walking outside. Jack turned and smiled when Sam walked outside.

"Hey, how was your day?" he got up as she was close to them

"Good, yours?"

"Busy" they both kisses before sitting down

"Hi guys, how was your trip?"

"It was good Sam"

"That good"

They talk for an hour before Sam stood up and walked over to the pool and dived in, when she surfaced she floated on her back with her eyes closed for a minute then opened them then swam her way to the edge of the pool where the triplets are. They got their arm floats on. So Sam walk to the shallow end of the pool

"Ok jump" they jump in when they surface they are giggling and splashing around having fun. Then mark ran over and jumps into the pool not far from them

"Mark, you big kid" Sam said

"Why not" they play with the kids then the others join them in the pool.

They swim and play for a couple of hours before Jack gets out when the phone rings. When he was walking in side Sam yelled out

"I hope it not a mission"

"Who knows Sam?" Grace said. Sam listens and relaxes

"It not a mission, it Crag calling to let us know that he and Carol have return back from their honeymoon"

"Ah" they swim around having fun.

Sam heard Jack calling a pizza hutt and ordering pizza for dinner. When he finished, he walked back outside and dived into the pool, when he stood up he was in front of Sam. They wrap their arms around each other and kiss, then the others splash them so they break apart and start splashing them.

When they all settle down they wait for an hour before getting out of the pool. Jack went inside just as a car pulled up. Couple of minutes later Jack returned with boxes, a knife and drinks in hand. He put them on the table then sorted them out and opened them.

Then he sat down as they all helped themselves. Cut up a slice of pizza and pass it to the kids. Mark was feeding John his dinner since he was on Mark lap. They all talk while enjoying dinner and drinks.

Hour later Mark took his family home since the kids got to have their bath before going to bed. So they left and thanked Jack for dinner. Tracey, Phillip and Grace were staying at Jack and Sam place for the next few days.

They all went inside and had their showers and got dressed before they all sat down and watched a movie and talked before going to bed since it was getting late. The next day they all went for a walk in the park. While there, they all sat down while the kids were running around and having loads of fun.

They returned back to Jack and Sam's place for lunch and the kids stayed in the guest bedroom. While they were having their afternoon naps while the adults were outside playing crochet.

That night they had cold meat and salads for dinner, and they all had lots of fun afterwards till Mark and the family left for home since it was kids bedtime and John was asleep in Mark's arms. Jack and the others sat outside on the back patio since it was warm outside for the next few hours till they decided to call it a night and went to bed.

The next morning Sam carefully got out of bed and quickly walked into the bath and closed the door without waking Jack up which didn't work. Jack got up and went to the bathroom door and opened it when he heard Sam was sick. He walked in and crouches down next to her rubbing her backs

"Sam, are you ok?"

"I will" then she threw up but nothing was coming up. When she finish, she lean against Jack

"What wrong Sam, I've never seen you sick before"

"I'll be fine"

"Sam" she looked at him

"Jack can you get me a glass of apple juice please"

"Sure" he kissed her forehead then they stood up.

Sam flush the toilet and walk over to the sink so she could rinse her mouth out while Jack walks into the bedroom and puts his robe on then walks out of their room and down stairs.

When Sam finishes rinsing her mouth out he walks back and craw backs into bed and closes her eyes. When Jack return, Sam open them and sat up just as he pass glass to her

"Thanks" she took a couple of sips while he took his robe off and got back into bed and watched Sam.

When she drank half of it, she put the glass on her bedside draws then she lay down and rolled over and snuggled up to Jack.

"Sam, how long have you been sick for?"

"Week"

"A week Sam why didn't you tell me" he was starting to get worried

"I got my reasons"

"Sam"

"Jack… I'm pregnant" Jack look at her in shock

"Pregnant"

"Yes" he smiled then gave her a kiss.

"Sam, that is wonderful… Are you sure?"

"Yes, a home pregnancy test and my doctor confirmed it on Friday… some wedding anniversary present"

"Sam, that is the best present ever… how far along are you?"

"We going to have New Year baby, I'm eight weeks"

"What I thought we were going to wait till now to try to have a baby?"

"I know but over two months ago I got a new diaphragm, by the time the doctors contact me about it being from a bad batch, well it was to late and now we going to have a baby"

"Sam, are you happy with this?"

"Well considering we are two month early on our plans and you are happy then yes I am happy besides the morning sickness" Jack laughs and gives her a kiss.

"Sam can we you know… full around"

"Yes we can"

"Sweet" he gave her a passionate kiss then they made love.

Afterwards when Jack rolled off Sam he looked at her as she was looking at him

"Sam, what about the air force?"

"I still can do training for a while, after that, I don't know. If the top brass can't think of any thing for me, I'll take my maternity leave… or I still can stay on and help the ones who is have problems with their studies or hand to hand for a while"

"Sounds like a good idea to me, I'm sure the air force doesn't want to lose you"

"I know, I'll give General Ryan a call later, I'm sure he will understand"

"I'm sure he will… so how about we go and have a shower"

"Sounds good to me" he rolled over and gave Sam a kiss

"I love you Sam"

"I love you to Jack"

"Happy anniversary"

"Happy anniversary" he gives her a kiss then they both get up and shower together.

When they both walked down to the kitchen the others were already up and breakfast was cooked. When Sam saw what they cooked she sat down and picked up a piece of dry toast and much on it till her stomach settled down. Grace looked over at Sam and saw how pail she looked and saw what she was eating.

Then she clicks to why Sam was eating dry toast and she smiles knowing that her and Jack were planning on starting a family. All she needs to do is wait to find out if it is true or not. Everyone ate their breakfast and cleaned up. They just finish when Mark and his family arrived.

They all sat outside talking; Jack and Sam looked at each other and gave each other a nod. They know they need to tell them before the caters show up.

"Ah guys, we have an announcement to make," Jack said. They look at him

"We having a baby" Sam said smiling

Their eyes widened in shock then they all got up and gave both Jack and Sam a hug and congratulated them both before sitting down again.

"Sam, how far along are you?" Ann asked

"We having a New Year baby"

"Sam that is wonderful news" Mark said

"Some present aye Jack" Phillip said

"Yes it sure is. We did have plan on starting now not two months ago"

"What do you mean?" Grace asked

"The diaphragm I recited was faulty and now, I'm pregnant two months ahead of what we had plan, but we are both happy"

"That is good news" then they heard a van pull up, so Jack went to see who it was when they heard a car pull up.

"That can't be the caterer?" Tracey said
