CH 185

When they got there, there were heaps of adults and kids around. Jack and Sam waited in line till they were up at the counter. Jack got himself a big Mac, cheeseburger, fries, coke and Sunday. Sam orders five filet-o- fish, three big Mac burgers, three large fries, strawberry milkshake and three apple pies. Jack paid for their dinner.

While Jack was waiting for the food, Sam wheels herself over to a free table and waits for Jack. When he showed up with one tray, he put it down then went back for the second tray. When he returned Sam was eating her fries.

They talked while eating their dinner and noticed other people were looking at them then they heard kids screaming, they looked around and saw Ronald McDonald walking in with the camera crew with him. He spoke to the kids for a few minutes then to the parents till he walked over to where Jack and Sam are.

"Hello, I'm Ronald McDonald and you are"

"Jack O'Neill with two 'L's and this is my beautiful loving wife Samantha Carter"

"Hello" he shook their hands then he looked at Sam again then his eyes widen

"Well, well it is an honor to meet a hero"

"I'm not a hero," Sam said

"Yes you are my dear… when are you due?"

"Christmas, new years, we are expecting twins"

"Wow congratulation"

"Thank you"

"Well I hope you enjoyed your dinner"

"We have thanks," Jack said, then he moved over to another table where he spoke to a family.

"Wow, that was interesting" Sam said

"I know, so ready to go home"

"Yes… we need to go to KFC on our way home"

"I know, come on." Jack stood up and walked around to where Sam is and pushed the wheelchair to the exit then over to his truck.

Once in they went to KFC where Jack got Sam her chicken then they headed on home for the night.

The next morning they went to the dinner for breakfast since Sam was in the mood for some of the special breakfast, so they went to the dinner. They talked while enjoying their breakfast for the next hour then Jack paid for breakfast while Sam was in the ladies room. When she returned they left to head to the mall where they shop for a few hours and also had lunch while there then shop some more before returning back home late that afternoon.

On Sunday Jack spent the whole day in bed with Sam the only times he got up was when he needed to go to the bathroom and to cook up meals for him and Sam. While in bed they look at the different baby clothing that they had brought for the twins. They brought different-colored jumpsuits, booties, hats, blankets, diapers, and everything, including two bassinets and cots.

The next morning Jack gave Sam a kiss before he left to go to work. When he got there he saw his black op team mates, so he walked over to them and talked to them about them talking to their wives about checking on Sam while they are away on long missions.

"Jack, are you saying that no one has called Sam at all?"

"That right, no one has even dropped by to see if she needs anything, she is lonely and vulnerable. I know she can take care of herself if someone breaks in but trying to tell the cops how Sam manages to take down whoever it is while in bed is a different story but that's not just the worst. What if she has a bad fall and was knock uniconises while we are away and no one stop by… and if she was able to call for help, how is the paramedics going to get into the house, they would think some made a prank call"

"Sorry Jack, we didn't know"

"Well you do now, Sam and I have been talking" then their CO walk over to them

"Gentlemen gear up we been called away, we leave in one hour"

"Yes sir" they all said, then he walk away

"You better give your wives a call and ask them to check on Sam" then he walked away. He walk to where the phone is and called Sam

"Hello"

"Hey sweetheart, how are you feeling?"

"I'm ok Jack, you only left half an hour ago"

"I know, Sam I've spoken to the guys, they were shock"

"I bet… you've been called away?"

"Yes, sorry"

"Hey it ok, look after yourself"

"You to Sam, I'll see you when I return"

"I'll be waiting"

"I know, love you"

"Love you to fly boy" they both smiled as they hung up.

Then he walked to the locker room to get change. The guys called their wives to let them know that they had been called away and asked them to check on Sam and they told them that Jack was not happy. When they finished their call they went to get gear up themselves. When it was time they all got on the plane then they left to go overseas for their mission. Their CO told them their mission is while in the air. When they finished, they went their separate ways.

"Colonel O'Neill a word"

"Yes sir" Jack follow his CO to one part of the plane so they could talk in private

"Is everything alright colonel?"

"I don't know sir… I'm worried about Sam"

"Is everything alright with the twins?"

Colonels himself is married with four children, two of his children are twins. He almost lost his wife when she hermitage when she was in labor, she had emergency C- section done, all three live, but it was a close call.

"Yeah twins are ok" he let out his breath

"I'm worried because Sam is in the house alone, in the last two missions, no one called or dropped by to see how she was or to find out if she needed anything… the last mission, I'm glad we came back when we did"

"What happened?"

"There was no food in the house and Sam was hungry, she was depressed, lonely and she was a mess sir, she ran out of shampoo, soap, tooth paste. I spoke to some of the guys wives, they said they would call or stop by to check on Sam, they didn't. I spoke to the guys just before you showed up, and while we were waiting, they spoke to their wives about checking up on Sam while we were away, if… If Sam if left alone again, I'll has to ask for a transferred of the team till after kids are born"

"I understand where you are coming from colonel, let's just hope it doesn't come to that, your the best soldier I got and I don't want to lose you"

"I know"

"While I got you alone, we need to talk about a back up plan, any ideas?"

"Yes" They talk for the next half-hour then they return back to the others.

Sam was lying in bed watching a TV show while munching on a packet of potato chips thinking about Jack and the mission he is on. When she finished eating, she got up and walked into the bathroom to wash her hands and dry them. Then she walked out of the room and put her robe on, then she walked out of her room and into the nursery.

She decided to put the cots together. So she spent half an hour putting the first cot together then she needed to go to the toilet. After she was, she slowly walked downstairs into the kitchen to see what she could have to eat. She decided to call pizza and Chinese place in town. So she made the two calls then she sat down at the breakfast bar stroking her stomach while thinking.

Half an hour later Sam heard a car pull up outside so she walked over to her bag and got her purse out then walked to the door. She looked through the curtain to see it was a guy delivering the pizzas, so she pulled out the right amount of money just as the doorbell rang. She opens the door, to see the guy shock when he saw her expanding stomach

"Ah one pepperoni and one chicken, onions, bacon and anchovies pizzas?"

"Yes that right"

"Here you go ma'am"

"Thank you" she pass him the money and he pass her the two pizzas

"Enjoy them"

"Thank you" then she closed and locked the door.

She watches the guy get into his car and leave. Sam walked into the kitchen and put them on the breakfast bar then she walked to the fridge and got out two liters of banana flavor milk, he put that on the breakfast bar just as another car pulled up. Sam went to see who it was.

It was the Chinese she ordered. After she paid for it, the guy was gone. She walked back into the kitchen and picked up the two boxes and the bottles then she walked out and up the stairs.

When she reaches the top "double shields on"

Then she walked down to her bedroom and walked in. She put the food down then she took her robe off then she got into bed and made her dinner go to her. She watches TV while eating her large dinner. When finished, she moves everything onto the box at the end of the bed. She watched TV for the next two hours then decided to get some sleep.

Jack and his team were away for a week, when Jack got home it was almost two in the morning. When he walk up and into their bedroom, he walked in quietly and into the bathroom where he had a hot shower. When finish, he walk out only to stop when he saw the wall lights on above the bed but it was on low

"Jack"

"Yeah Sam, I home" he walk over and sat on the bed looking at her

"How are you feeling?"

"Hungry and I need to pee" Jack smiled then leaned over and gave her a kiss. He then stood up and helps Sam up and into the bathroom

"What would you like to eat?"

"Chicken"

"Ok, I'll go and get is and drink, I know what you are like" she smile

"Thanks" she walked into the bathroom while Jack went to put a tee shirt and boxes on then he walked down stairs to get Sam her snack then return.

He put it at the end of the bed and he pulled the covers back and waited for Sam to walk out of the bathroom. When she did, he helped her back into bed.

"Thanks Jack"

"Any time Sam" then he got her, her snack and passed it to her then he walked around to the other side and got in. He watched her as she ate.

"How was the mission?"

"Good we ended up having two of them"

"Ok"

"How was your week?"

"Boring… and lonely" Jack sat up and turn to look at her

"Did any one call?"

"Yes… Family"

"What about around here?" Sam shook her head, which she took a bite of her chicken drum

"No one"

"What about visitors?"

"No one" Sam could see Jack was starting get angry

"On Monday I'm going to tell my CO that I want the transfer, he knows what going on and under stands"

"Jack are you sure"

"Sam yes after what has happen, I'm sorry, but you and our kids come first"

"I understand Jack"

"Sam, how did you get the chicken, when you were supposed to be on bed rest?" Sam smile

"I call for a taxi, he took me to a ATM machine so I could withdraw some money out and went to the supermarket where I bought a few snacks since I was almost out and then to KFC to get my chicken and then back home"

"Ah" Jack watches her munch on her snack and could tell she is enjoying it.

"Sam how about I take you out for a late breakfast in the morning"

"Sounds good to me" Jack watches Sam till she finishes her snack.

When finished he got her a wet cloth so she could wash her hands with a towel to dry them. While she was doing that he took the tray back down stairs and put everything away, then he returned back to the bedroom and pick up the towel and cloth, he walked back down the hallway and put it down the laundry shoot, then he returned back to bed. Once in bed he gave Sam a kiss.

"Lets get some sleep"

"Sounds good to me, kids are asleep, now that had their snack" They snuggled under cover with Jack snuggle up to Sam side

"Night Sam"

"Morning Jack" then she giggle

"Funny" they close their eyes and fall into peaceful sleep.

Later that morning Jack and Sam went into town to do some shopping and have brunch. They spent the day down shopping for one thing or another. When they return back home, Jack takes care of everything and cooks some dinner while Sam was checking her mail.

The next day while Sam was resting in bed, Jack did some washing and housework. He took Sam some lunch up to her. They talked while she was eating and drinking.

"Sam, what would you like to do this afternoon?"

"Have you with me"

"Sure, I just got a couple of things to do then I'm all yours"

"Ok" he gives her a kiss before standing up and taking the tray with him.

Half an hour later Jack walked back into the bedroom to see Sam reading one of her magazines. She looked up and smiled.

"So what would you like to do?"

"Get dress and go to the park, get some air"

"Sure" Jack helped Sam get dressed and helped her walk down stairs and into the wheelchair.

Then he got his shoes and jacket on then he pushed the wheelchair out of the house and down to the park. When they got there, Jack sat on the bench with Sam next to him. They watch as kids play while they talk for an hour then they return back home. They spent the rest of the afternoon talking and playing games.

The next day Jack gave Sam a kiss before he left to go to work. When he got there, he went to see his CO who was in his office. Jack knocks on the open door and walks in.

"Colonel, what can I do for you" Jack pass him the letter

"Request for transfer"

"I take it she was alone"

"Yes sir"

"I understand… denied" Jack was shock

"Sir"

"Close the door" Jack close the door then turn back to his CO

"Sit down" Jack then sat down

"Has Sam joined any women's groups?"

"Ah, no, she been busy with work till she been put on maternity leave"

"Ok and is she on total bed rest?"

"Yes, what are you saying sir?"

"Well I won't transfer you off the main team but I'll put you on back up team, would you except that for six months"

Jack thought about it, he knew what the back up team is like he was on it for a year till he was put in the number one team.

"I'll take it"

"Don't you want to talk to your wife first?"

"We talk about this, she understands"

"All right then, I'll take care of the paperwork"

"Thank you sir"

"If there is nothing else you dismiss" Jack stood up and walked out of the office and went back to work.
