That night he told Sam what had happened, she understood.
"Jack you know that I back you up"
"I know Sam, it's better that nothing"
"True, what did the guys say about it?"
"They weren't happy about it at first… but I told them why and walked away"
"Ok, let's change the subject"
"To what?"
"Your birthday is in a few days, what would you like to do?"
"How about going out to dinner"
"Sounds good to me" they talk about other things before turning in for the night.
Few days later when it was Jack's birthday, they both went out for dinner. They both enjoy the evening, talking while having dinner which Sam paid for. When they returned back home, they both went to bed and watched a movie before going to sleep.
Over the next three weeks, Jack had training, black ops team was sent to Iran for a mission and Jack's team was on stand by just in case they got called out. Week before Thanksgiving it was two in the morning when the phone rang which woke them both up. Jack rolled over as he turned the light on, he picked up the phone
"O'Neill" he said half asleep
"Colonel we need you at Peterson ASAP, team one in trouble"
"Yes sir, I'm on my way" then he hung up then rolled over and gave Sam a kiss
"Sorry Sam"
"It ok Jack, I understand, now get going"
"Yes ma'am" he gave her a kiss before getting out of bed and quickly getting dressed.
Then he walked into the bathroom so he could relieve himself. When finish and he walked back out into the bedroom, he saw Sam sitting up in bed munching on chicken, which made him smile he walked over and put his hand onto her stomach and gave her a kiss
"See you when I return"
"I'll be here" he stood up and walked out of their room. Sam heard him leave a minute later.
On Wednesday morning a taxi took Sam to the airport since she had family staying with her and Jack for a few days' cause of the holidays? She pushes herself into the terminal till she reaches the spot where passages were walking off the plane.
She works her way through after asking other people to move so she can get through. When she was in front of everyone, all she needed to do was wait. When the passengers walked through the door, family greeted them. Sam looked around and waited till she saw who she was looking for.
"Mark, Ann" Sam called out and waved her hand at them. When Mark saw Sam he smiled then walked over to her carrying John in his arms
"Sam"
"Mark" he bends over and gave her a hug
"How are you"
"Good, hello John, boy you sure have grown" he looked at Sam with his green eyes
"Hello Sam"
"Ann" she gave Sam a hug
"Gee you getting bigger every time I see you"
"Funny"
"Auntie Sam" kids said giving Sam a hug
"Hi kids, are you hungry, cause I know I am"
"Well Sam it is lunch time"
"I know Mark, so shall we"
"Here let me Sam"
"Thanks Ann." Ann pushed the wheelchair over to where the bags were.
Mark passed John to Ann while he picked up the bags then he turned to Sam who could see he was having problems.
"Ann pass me John while you help Mark with the bags"
"Who's going to push you Sam?"
"We can sit over at the bench there, mum and dad's plane will be landing in ten minutes"
"Ok come on kids" they follow their parents over to the bench and sat down, then Mark returns and push Sam wheelchair over where the others were.
When they got there, Sam looked after their bags while they took their kids to the bathroom. When they returned they all heard over the PA system that the plane from Washington just landed.
"Sam I'll go and great mum and dad"
"Ok Mark" he walked over to where the other family members were.
"Not long to go now aye Sam," Ann said as she sat down next to her
"Yeah but I got a feeling that they will be early like their cousins but we shall see"
"Any word from Jack?"
"No, nothing… I haven't even been out to do any shopping… we did have plans… but he was called away"
"Well how about after lunch we head back to you place, leave the men with the kids and us women go shopping" Sam smile
"That would be great, thanks Ann"
"No worries, so how are your eating habits?" Sam laughed
"Still the same, that reminds me, I need more fish and chicken for home"
"Chicken as in KFC chicken"
"Yep"
"Ok still having strawberry dip?"
"Yep"
"You sure got some strange cravings" Sam giggles
"I know but at least the kids and I are happy"
"Well that's good to know"
"Mark found them and other guests" Ann turned and was shocked to see her parents there. She stood up and walked over to them.
"Mum, dad this is a surprise"
"Well we are spending thanksgiving with you, Mark and kids this year"
"Well kids sure are going to love you"
"Thanks, here let me" Ann pass her mum the youngest grandchild.
"John sure has grown"
"They all have" then she gave her father, Jacob, Elizabeth and Grace a hug
"Shall we, wait till you see Sam" they walk over and they were shocked to see the size of her
"Sam woo you getting bigger"
"I know, shall we, we will take a taxi home" they gave Sam a hug then they all walked towards the exit.
Ann pushes Sam while the men carry their bags and the women hold onto the kid's hands. When they got out side two taxi vans pulled up. Sam had them book since she knew that they were all showing up. Once they all got in, they were on their way to sam place.
When they pulled up in the driveway they saw Jack truck in the garage. When they all got out, Jack opened the door and walked down to give Sam a hug and kiss
"When did you get home?"
"Twenty minutes ago"
"Jack we need to go shopping"
"I know let's get everyone settled, ok?"
"Ok" Jack greeted the others there then he helped talk bags inside.
Jack showed them their rooms; Mark, Ann and the kids had the guest rooms downstairs while Grace, Jacob, Elizabeth and Ann's parents were upstairs. While they were sorting out their bags two vans and a car pulled up outside. Jack went to see whom it was when he returned Sam heard the car leave.
"Jack was that the two vans we hired?"
"Yep, so any ideas?"
"McDonalds for lunch, I spoke to Mark and Ann before well kids outnumber them"
"Ah what about you?"
"What do you think?" she said smiling
"Well once everyone settles in we all go to McDonalds for lunch"
"Sound good to me"
"So while we are waiting" he sat down and pulls Sam's wheelchair towards him.
Sam lean over the best she can while Jack lean ford, they both kiss till they heard little feet running into the living room and they heard
"Ewe" then they run out again. Sam and Jack pull apart and turn to see the triplets running out of the living room. They turn and look at each other then they burst out laughing
"Kids will be kids," Jack said
"Yep" then she grabbed his jacket and pulled him towards her and they both kissed again till they heard
"Ewe they still doing it" they pulled apart and turn to see Mark, Ann and their kids walking into the living room
"We get that a lot at home also," Ann said
"Ah, so all settled in?"
"Yes thanks"
"Good" then they heard the others walking down stairs and they walked into the living room, just as Jack stood up.
"Well I don't know about you guys, but Sam and the kids are hungry and Sam did mention McDonalds, so how about it"
"YAAA" kids said
"Sure why not" Jacob said
"Ok, let's go… Mark you can drive the second van" Jack pass him set of keys
"Thanks Jack"
"Shall we" they all walk outside Jack and Sam was last.
They were all decided on who to go with who. Once everyone was in the two vans, they were on their way to McDonald. When they got there they all ordered what they wanted for lunch, Jack paid for it all. Once they all found a place to sit they sorted out their lunch while talking.
After everyone except for Sam who was still eating, the kids went into the playroom, which was next door to where they were sitting. They play with other kids while the others talk and Sam carries on eating. When Sam finished she was happy and patting her stomach.
"Jack shall we head back home so the kids could take their nap and we could go and do some shopping"
"Sounds like a plan to me"
"Ok, I'll be right back" Sam wheel herself to the ladies room while Jack spoke to the others.
When she returns they all left since the kids were tired. When they got home Sam stayed in the van while Jack unlocked the door and let them all in. he spoke to them for a minute then returned back to the van.
"Everything alright?" she asked
"Yep" Then he started the van up and they left for the grocery store.
When they got there fifteen minutes later, the car park was full. They were lucky to have a wheelchair card and there was a car park spot close to the entranceway. Jack got out, then he helped Sam out when a cop walked over to them
"Excuse me this is for WheelChair Park only"
"We know officer" Sam said Jack reached in and picked up the card from the dashboard and showed the officer
"Ah, that's alright then, I'm just making sure"
"It ok" Jack said then he put the card back then he closed and locked the doors before he pushed Sam wheelchair to the back of the van.
"When are you due ma'am?"
"Christmas, New Year but it could be any time, I'm carrying twins"
"Twins, wow it looks like you're carrying triplets or quads" Sam laughs
"I get that a lot, kids are about eight pounds each" The officer eyes almost pop out of his head
"Wow that is huge"
"We know"
"Well good luck, and happy thanksgiving"
"You to officer" Then Jack pushed Sam into the store.
They grabbed two trolleys and started to walk slowly down each isle. Sam was holding the wheel chair trolley with Jack pushing her and pulling the second trolley behind him. While they were going through the store, the owner spotted them and walked over to them with a smile on his face.
"Jack, Sam I was wondering when you two love birds are going to show up"
"Hi Dean, busy today"
"Yeah, people doing their last minute shopping, so how are you both?"
"Good"
"Hungry," Sam said. Dean laughed
"Well you are feeding for three"
"I know"
"What the turkeys like this year?"
"Good, all the big ones were sold yesterday, well almost all of them"
"Meaning" Dean lean fords and whispers
"Come before closing tonight, I'm holding three for you" then he moved Back
"Thanks, we better get what we need, we got a house full of guest and little food in the house" Jack said
"Well you were keeping Sam happy"
"I know we did plan on coming in yesterday but I was called away last week, got home a few hours ago"
"AH, well then I'll let you guys carry on shopping then"
"Sure, happy thanksgiving"
"You to" then he walked away.
"Shall we"
"Yep" then they slowly walk down each aisle filling both trolleys up.
