CH 173

When they got home and the garage door was closed, Jack walked around to Sam's side of the truck and opened the door. He looked at Sam and she slid out of the truck and floated into the house with Jack behind her. He took his shoes off and followed Sam up to their bedroom and made her lay down on the bed. He removed her shoes and socks for her and turned the ceiling fan on.

He gave her a kiss before walking out of the room and back down the stairs. On the way he put her socks down the laundry shoot. When he walked down to the back door he put Sam's shoes down, then he put his sandals on before walking back out into the garage.

He picked up the bags and made everything else come out then he shut and locked his truck up before walking inside with the big things floating in mid air.

When he got inside he took his sandals off before walking up to the nursery. Once there, he put everything away and he put the cots and bassinets together.

Once he finished doing that by hand, he smiled, then he walked back down the stairs and got himself a drink then walked outside and sat down and relaxed for a while before going back inside and getting dinner on for them both. That evening Jack took sam tray up to their bedroom, when he walk in Sam was walking out of the bathroom

"Hey, sleep well?"

"Yes thanks"

"Good while don't get naked and get into bed, I got your dinner here" Sam smile

"Thanks Jack, I didn't realise how tired I was"

She took her clothes off right in front of Jack, when she was naked; he could see her expanding stomach. She manages to get herself into bed and makes extra pillows float over and behind her. Once she was in bed with a sheet just covering her he walked over and put the tray on the bed next to her.

"Thanks Jack"

"Eat up, know our sons, they will be hungry" Sam laughed

"Yes they are"

"Good eat up cause I got a surprise desert for you"

"Mmm I can't hardly wait" he gives her a kiss

"Call me if you need anything"

"I will," he walked out of the room leaving Sam there to eat while he walked down and sat at the breakfast bar to eat his.

He was half way through when he heard Sam crying, so he stood up and walked up to their room he saw Sam crying and she hardly touched her dinner.

"Hey what's wrong?" he walked around to her side and sat down so he could look at her

"I'm sorry Jack, I know it's a lovely meal but…" then she burst into tears again. Jack moved forward and pulled her into his arm and held her.

"I'm sorry Jack"

"Shh it ok"

"Not it not"

Jack moved back so he could look at her. He made the tissue box float out from the bathroom and onto Sam's lap. She pulled two of them so she could wipe her eyes.

"Sam, what do you want"

"You would laugh"

"No I won't, I promise" she looks at him as she sniffles

"Please tell me so I can make you and our sons happy"

"What I feel like is… double meat lovers pizza with… sweet chilli sauce and strawberries on top" Jack raises his eyebrows then he gives her a kiss

"If you want that Sam that is what you will get"

"And… fish bites done in sweet and sour sauce and veggie spring rolls and those round potato balls"

"Ok is there anything else?" he said while cupping her face

"Just them and you" Jack gave her a kiss

"That I can handle… except for the pizza" he screwed his face up which made her smile then she cried again, so he gave her a hug

"I think it's your hormones Sam"

"I know, I don't know how I'm going to handle it during hand to hand training without bursting into tears"

"Sam" he moves her back so he could look at her

"Have you thought about starting to take maternity leave early, we both know that doc brought that up today and you said you been getting some discomfort and back pains every now and then"

"I'll think about it"

"Ok" then he turns and picks up the list of their favourite takeaway places and picks up the phone.

He calls both places and places his order while rubbing Sam's stomach, which he knows she enjoys and it relaxes her. When he hung up he stopped

"I was enjoying what you were doing to me"

"Sorry but I promise when I return I'll rub while you eat, will that make you happy?"

"Yes"

"Good" he gives her a kiss then stood up

"I'll go and get your dinner, at least you still got your strawberry milk"

"True"

"I'll be back in fifteen minutes"

"Ok, drive careful"

"Will do" then he walked out of the room.

Sam heard him leave which made her cry, thinking that he was not coming back. When Jack did return he went into the kitchen and picked up what he needed then quickly walked up to their bedroom.

When he got there Sam was lying on her side crying, so he put the boxes and bags down then he climbed on top of the bed and snuggled up to Sam back and put his hand on to her stomach and started rubbing it

"Hey, shhh, I'm back Sam"

"I hate you… you left me"

"Sam sweetheart please roll over"

"No, you could have had the food delivered you know"

"Sam I'll answer the reason why I had to go into town if you please turn it over."

Sam rolled on to her back and looked at Jack then she rolled over the best she could towards him wrapping her arms around him. He stroked her stomach while kissing her forehead, while she cried even harder

"Why did you leave me Jack? Why don't you love me no more"

"Sam cause I love you, I tell you every day that I love you and I even show you how much I love you" then she started hip cupping as she pulled back so she could look at him

"Do you love me"

"Yes till death do us part"

"Then why did you leave?"

"The reason why is so I could go and withdraw some money out, I didn't have enough cash on me otherwise I would have stayed at home"

"Oh… sorry"

"Don't be Sam, I love you and our sons who is right at this moment kicking up a fuss" Jack could feel the twins kicking

"They are hungry"

"Well how about I help you sit up and you can eat you dinner while stoke your stomach like I said I would" Sam smile

"Thanks for being so patient"

"It ok" he gives her a kiss then he helps Sam to sit up with pillows behind her.

Then he made everything float from the dresser to the bed next to Sam since Jack was sitting on the edge of the bed close to Sam. Jack watches Sam as she spreads the sauce over the pizza then slices the strawberries on top.

Then she picked up a slice and started eating it, Jack heard her moan which made him smile knowing she is happy. Then she opened the Chinese boxes and started eating them while eating pizza at the same time. When she finished half an hour later with a litter of strawberry flavour milk she sat back licking her lips and let out her breath

"Feeling better," he asked, then Sam let out a big burp

"Yep feeling better, kids have settled down" Jack smiles

"That good to know" he leaned ford and gave her a kiss

"So it feels like some Desert?"

"Yes" then he looks at the door, then Sam turn and look at the door, her eyes widen when she sees a Dessert fork and a round dish float into the room and into Sam hands

"What this, it smells like strawberries"

"It is, try it" Sam tried a small bit after she saw that the base was a biscuit base.

"Strawberry cheesecake" her eyes lit up then she got another bit and put it in her mouth

"Mmm this is so good… Jack you are too good to me"

"I know, I just want to make you happy"

"You have alright" then she fed him a bit then herself.

"Sam I got you something while I was on my way home for you"

"What did you get me?"

"Barrel of chicken pieces since there was none in the fridge" Sam eyes let up

"Jack thank you"

She grabs his shirt and pulls him towards her he leans over so she could give him a kiss, which it became passionate. When they broke for air they both were smiling.

"Feeling better?"

"Yes thanks"

"Why don't you finish eating while I take care of this mess? Then when I return I'll join you in bed and we can watch TV together. How does that sound?"

"I would love that"

He gives her a kiss before standing up and walks around to his side of the bed and starts picking the rubbish up then he walks out of the room with that and the tray. He quickly got everything sorted out before returning back to their bedroom with two bottles of water in hand.

He walked into the bathroom to relieve himself then he walked out and he took his clothes off and crawled into bed and got his pillows sorted out. Then wrap an arm around her shoulder as she move so she is snuggling up to him while they watch TV while she was finishing off her desert. When finish She made the dish and fork float tills it was on the box at the end of the bed.

"Jack" she turned the best she could so she could look at him

"Yes Sam"

"Thank you"

"Your welcome" he leaned over and gave her a kiss and a smile, which she smiled in return then they turned and watched TV for the next two hours before calling it a night.

The next morning Sam drives to the academy while Jack drives to Peterson air force base for the day. By the end of the day Sam was tired and her back was giving her problems, so she walked down to where a computer is and typing up her maternity leave form then she walked the best she could down to the general office. She knocks on the door

"Come" Sam opened the door and walked in and closed it then she stood at attention and saluted which he did in return

"At ease…Captain Carter I was just about to give you a call, please sit down" Sam sat down the best she could

"What did you want to talk to me about sir?"

"We got someone from Peterson to take over the hand to hand training"

"That great sir, when does he start?"

"Depends on you captain"

"Me?"

"Yes"

"Oh, well sir it's good timing then"

"Why that captain"

Sam pulled out the letter, which was in her bag, and passed it to him, he opened it and read it then he closed it again and looked at her

"Captain Carter your maternity leave has been accepted"

"Thank you sir"

"You can start your leave from 1800 hours tonight"

"Thank you sir"

"You know Captain I was expecting this letter a month ago, but you hung in there" Sam smile

"Thank you sir… Jack and I talk about me taking my leave early since I'm getting bigger"

"Well you made the right choice"

"I know I got to think just myself and for the… little one well, he or she not little any more" she patted her stomach

"That's true… take care captain"

"I will sir"

"If there is nothing else you dismiss"

"Yes sirs" Sam managed to stand up and saluted the general, which he did in return. Then Sam turned and picked up her bag just as her cell phone rang. She pulled it out of her bag and looked at it

"It the pentagon sir" then she answered it

"Carter… yes sir… sorry sir I'm grounded… yes sir… sorry sir I'm on maternity leave… sir if you saw the size of me now… I am huge… sir. My doctor is worried because of the… I know sir but the baby is way bigger that a four month old… at least over eight pounds… Yes sir I understand… thank you sir… goodnight sir" then she hung up

"Jack ass"

"Captain" sam let out her breath

"That was General Webb… he wanted me to fly to Washington for a meeting" she shook her head

"You're joking, does he know that you're pregnant?"

"Oh he does sir but… sorry sir he doesn't give a rat ass that I'm pregnant, he wants me up there"

"Is there anything I can do?"

"Yeah contact General Hammond about getting a… comfortable plane on the tarmac, let him know what's going on… he's not going to be happy"

"No I guess not… have you met General Webb before?"

"Yep… he is single, never married only to the air force" he nodded

"I better go"

"Take care"

"Thanks sir"

Then she walked out of his office and walked down to where her truck was. On the way to her truck she called home and left a message on the phone for Jack.
