What if it's not about Sam, eh, eh? looks back cause Janet told her to sit down...right, way to remember my own stories. Anyways, becasue I got an OVERHWELMING amount of reviews, I decided I'd show some love back and update early. Triple bonus, two updates today but three chapters (I put two of my original chapters together...) Please, enjoy this gift and dont always expect it, okay!
Chapter 4: Oh-boy!
Last Time: Janet gestured back to the bed. "Sam, you might want to sit down."
Sam sat down on the bed warly, eyeing her doctor and friend closely. "Is something wrong?"
Janet took a breath. "Sam, I did find one thing different in your blood then in the boys." She watched as Sam's breathing slowed as she hung onto every word that was being said. "I don't know how to explain this, but…you're pregnant, Sam."
Sam's right hand flew to the bed behind her, keeping her balance as the room spun slightly. Her left hand fluttered to her stomach. "Are you sure," she said, her voice strangled.
"I checked my results quite a few times. I'm positive."
The color drained from Sam's face and her voice fell to a whisper. "Who…who's the father?"
Dr. Fraiser put her clipboard down and walked over to Sam, putting a comforting arm around her shoulder. "I can't tell until the baby is born, but I'll give a good bet that the father is the one who is wearing the match to that ring," she pointed to Sam's left hand.
Sam glanced down to her left hand, and sure enough, like Janet said, there was a ring resting daintily on her ring finger. It was solid gold with a clear stone, not quite a diamond, sitting on the top. She hadn't even noticed it before! "I'm married?" she whispered. Suddenly images hit her.
She stood underneath of a rose ring, her husband-to-be's hand in hers. The priest was standing before her. He smiled and began to speak, but his voice drained away as her thoughts were snapped back to the present.
"It would appear that way, yes," Janet said. She smiled at Sam. "I'm sure the father is around somewhere," she said. When Sam said nothing, she sighed. "Why don't you go join your team? I want to have you in here tomorrow for an ultra sound."
Sam nodded and slid off of the bed, in a daze. "Oh and Sam!" Janet called. Sam spun around. "I didn't tell General Hammond this yet, only you know."
"Thank you," Sam whispered before she walked out the door and down the hall to the commissary.

Jack picked up his mug and took a swig of the dark coffee inside. With a slight clink, he put it back down on the table. As he did so, he realized Daniel and Teal'c were giving him a strange look. "What?" he asked.
Daniel flicked his eyes to Jack's hand. "When did you get married?"
(add original ending here)
Tired, Jack rubbed his eyes and looked at his friend. He slammed his hand down on the desk. "Years ago, Daniel. Then I got a divorce. Remember?"
Daniel shook his head and looked back down at Jacks hand. "Then why are you wearing your wedding ring?"
Jack looked down at his own hand and swallowed hard. He was wearing a gold band, a small diamond embedded into it. "Well that wasn't there when I left," he said.
"I agree," Teal'c said. "It seems as though a lot more happened while we were away than we orignally thought."
"Gee T," O'Neill said, yanking the ring off his finger and stuffing it into the pocket in his shirt. "Ya think!"
"I do indeed," Teal'c said inclining his head.
Before Jack could say anything else, Sam slid into the chair next to him. He turned to her instead. "What did the doc want?" he asked.
Sam looked at him for a moment, then to her other two friends, all of who were waiting expectantly for her answer. Plunging her recent news to the bottom of her mind, she threw on her best fake smile. "Nothing," she said. "She just wanted to talk."
All three men looked at her, none buying her answer but each willing to drop it for the time being. "We ordered your usual, Sam," Daniel said, pointing to the menu. "Though, we had to make them remember…what your usual was."
"Humans seem to forget a lot in the period of seven months," Teal'c said, his voice sour.
Sam laughed, and suddenly felt that here, with her friends, everything would be alright. "It would seem that way," she said, smiling at the man who put her food in front of her. Yes, everything was going to be okay.
