Chapter 5: Confession..s

Freyah sat uncomfortably at the briefing table, her human condition made it hard not feel just as awkward as the five other occupants were. So Anise took control. "General Hammond" She should start out with a thank you to build some good will but she didn't feel very thankful. He had received her but then immediately tried to tell her no, then he had proceeded to keep her waiting for over five hours for SG1 to assemble only to then have Colonel O'Neill fall in wrapped around Major Carter. She rubbed her temple and smiled harshly. "If we may finally begin?" General Hammond nodded.

"Of course." He turned to the members of SG1. "The Tok'ra have a mission for you all to consider. Since this is your first weekend you all have had in a long while and it's not a threat neutralizing mission I'm not going to make this one an order. Anise?" She sat forward.

"The Tok'ra are slowly increasing in number, unfortunately it is the number of our children that is increasing." Continuing, she ignored the disbelief and shock in all of their eyes. "It reached a point some time ago that the council no longer felt that they could protect them. We began sending them to live at temporary bases. Recently though they don't even feel comfortable with that solution. A few months ago a suitable planet was found and the preparations for the children to settle there are now complete. For the next three days we will be recalling them all from the different worlds they are now inhabiting and transferring them to this new planet." She bowed her head as Freyah came forth. "The Council thought that y'all would like to see this other side of the Tok'ra life style." Sam looked up.

"Will my father be there?" If he was on mission she didn't really feel like dragging herself through the gate and risking her safety and her son's safety, if he was he deserved the right to hear the new from her in person. Anise nodded.

"Your father was actually the one who approached the Council to suggest that it was time to find a permanent settlement to house our children. Selmac also shared with us that Jacob was shocked to learn that the Tok'ra even had children. The council then assumed, correctly I see, that you would not have known either." Daniel pushed up his glasses.

"How many children are we talking about?" He asked curiously, wondering what this race of children would be like.

"Approximately four hundred and fifty." Jack gave a low whistle. Twirling his thumbs Jack donned his patented innocent face.

"General, since it is our day off today but it also would be a very nice idea to help out our Tok'ra allies with this one, do you think we could get next weekend and Tuesday off?" Hammond just shook his head and smiled.

"I'll see if I can give you Monday Colonel, barring and emergency of course."

"We'll take it." Daniel chuckled at the bartering exchange while Teal'c just raised an eyebrow. No one noticed Sam's head duck while she got her emotions under control. Fear and panic registered but a ribbon of illicit excitement coursed through her.

"And Colonel," General Hammond continued, "this one is a half and half, feel free to treat it as such. Gear up, you guys are gating out in twenty minutes. Dismissed." Jack stood and nodded seriously until the General left the room. Daniel was the first one to speak.

"Hey Jack? What did Hammond mean by that last part?" Daniel had been working for the Air Force for almost six years now but he had never heard that phrase before. Jack turned and sat slightly on the table.

"In the CIA black ops officers have to blend in and make sure no one every really knows the truth. My guess is that this mission will go down in the logbooks as a non-hostile, relationship-building exercise, but the joint chiefs wont get the details. Basically they'll know where we went but not why. Plus we get to wear our civvies." Daniel's faced registered the surprise of such luxury.

"So General Hammond is sending us on hopefully relaxing mission in jeans so we can feel like our weekend hasn't been well and truly spoiled." Teal'c raised an eyebrow and countered Daniel's snarky comments.

"I believe one would say that we are required to extend some credit to General Hammond for attempting to appease us nevertheless." Jack looked up surprised. Then he smiled at Daniel.

"The big man's right Danny-boy, you have got to give the man credit for trying." Daniel sighed and shrugged. "Plus what were you doing that was so great?" Blushing fiercely Daniel just shook his head. Truth be told he had been with Janet, tonight they were supposed to go out to dinner at an extremely fancy restaurant. He was going to propose.

Jack smiled and crossed the room. He knew exactly what old Danny-boy was up to, hell he had even help him pick out the ring. Walking around the table he chuckled slightly as he remembered what General Hammond had told him and how he had found them immediately there after. After finally getting them separated the General had relegated them to opposite sides of the table.

His walk was definitely predatory and Sam's excitement was matched with bewilderment the other three faces in the room. Jack wrapped his arms around her shoulder blades and pushed back against the table forcing her to wrap her legs around him. He leaned hard into her and whispered. "With that good news maybe we should christen the briefing room table?" She pulled his lips down unto hers for a moment before he pulled away. Making a clucking sound with his tongue he walked towards the door. "You milady, are going to get me into trouble." He turned out and headed towards the armory. Sam's feet were back firmly on the floor, even though her hair was mussed and breathing was erratic. She pouted.

Daniel was finally able to swallow and remarked. "Well I think Jack has finally lost it." Sam stood up and fixed her shirt.

"No Daniel, don't worry that happens all the time at home. Why don't you think we don't pile things up on the dinning room table?" She cocked an eyebrow and followed Jack to the armory. She didn't miss the way Anise's fists were clenched at her sides. Daniel just stood with his mouth a gape. Suddenly he shouted after them.

"I eat on that table!"

25 minutes passed without another incident and they stepped through the gate. Sam could see some shock in her dad's eye. Of course, it wasn't every day that SG1 came through in jeans and tee shirts with the customary gear strewn carelessly across them. Sam rudely shoved her vest in Colonel O'Neill's face and threw herself down the stairs. "Daddy!" She gave him a massive hug. Jacob chuckled it was like Sam was six again; this was always how she had greeted him when he had returned from a mission. She smiled at him and with an arm wrapped around his waist waited for the rest of SG1 plus the welcoming party to join them. Jacob shook Jacks hand greeted and exchanged customary greetings with the rest of the group.

"It's good to see you all. Although this looks slightly off the books." He scanned their attire and made specific eye contact with Jack, who just nodded. Jacob began walking towards where the rings would be.

"It's a half and half da- Jake." Jack stumbled, he had always called Jacob dad but now that it actually meant something it didn't feel right to call him dad without him knowing about him and Sam. Jacob heard change and cocked his head slightly. The large group stood too close together and suddenly five rings cut their way through the sand. Selmac on the other hand was determined to not let Jacob make Jack's life a living nightmare. Well, in public anyway. She couldn't deny her host the one thing that made his day. As they all made their way from the rings station to SG1's temporary quarters she warned Jacob. There will be a time to discuss what the true nature of their relationship is, right now is not it. We must focus on the movement of the children. This will be a huge step in not only connecting our two races and strengthening the alliance but it will also give you a chance to see how they interact together with children. Jacob smiled slightly evilly. I knew I loved you for a reason. Focusing back in on the group he rubbed his hands together.

"Okay guys this is where we are. Yesterday the kids started gating in. So far we have a little over a hundred, which is about a quarter the population we're expecting. The cut off time for gating in is oh-nine-hundred tomorrow morning. We're planning to start gating out an hour after that. Your job right now is to relax and tomorrow the Council is planning on you providing some defense and lots of entertainment. The feeling Sel and I get is that is like a bonding party." He looked around. "Well here we are, dinner will be in about an hour but I will make sure that someone is sent to get you guys." His eyes glowed and Sel's voice came through. "I just wanted to tell you all that it was very nice to see you again and that I think you will enjoy the next few days." The doors closed behind Jake/Selmac and the four let out a sigh.

Sam pushed her way through the guys and moodily threw herself onto the bed. Damn hormones, I hate this place. I hate the food the stupid aliens eat. I want to go home. Tears slowly burned their way to the corners of her eyes; she turned and let them silently fall.

The men looked around at their room. Not to bad but no windows, it kinda bothered Daniel and Jack but they worked in a mountain so not so much. Suddenly Carter was pushing her way through them, they all got a hard one in the stomach. As she threw herself onto the bed Teal'c and Daniel turned slowly to face Jack, hate ray beams coursing from their eyes. He shrugged as if to say he didn't know what was wrong and nodded his head in the direction of the door. Getting the hint the other half made its way quietly from the room, giving Sam and Jack some peace.

He moved across the room to her side. Jack sat on the bed and placed a hand on her shoulder, turning her so he could see her face. "Sam honey, what's wrong?" At kindness behind those words Sam began sobbing, silently cursing hormones. Jack pulled her against him and just ran his hand around her back. Eventually when she had settle down he lied them both down facing each other. "Sammie." She opened her eyes and smiled a little. "What's up?" She turned to face the ceiling and took a couple deep breaths.

"I have some news. I'm going to tell you but you can't be mad with me for the decisions I've made since then." He nodded, brows slightly furrowed. She sat up and swung off the bed. Jack sat up too and followed her pacing with his eyes. "I don't know how you're going to feel about it because we never talked about it but I" This she was cut off by her lover.

"Sammie what ever it is we can deal with it and work through it. Okay?" She nodded.

Turning around Sam had her back to him; she took a stabilizing breath and smiled to herself. It was the first time she was going to say it out loud.

"Jack. I'm pregnant."
