Thanks to those who have taken the time to read my story and especially to those who have left a review.

Here is another chapter as a reward.

Chapter 6

The past two weeks for Sam had been spent two ways. During the day she went to work and was miserable, and evenings were spent with Harry. They had been friends for so long, yet they sacrificed that friendship to keep her safe at the SGC. Now there was nothing keeping them form regaining that relationship.

That same night that Jack was on Edora with Lara, Harry was over at Sam's apartment to help her get the nursery ready. Even though she was only at the beginning of her sixth month, Sam thought it important to get everything ready. After she got off from work, Harry picked her up and the two spent several hours wondering around Babies-R-Us so that Sam could get everything she needed. They spent at least an hour arguing over what pattern would be best for the nursery until they could finally agree on. The Whinnie the Pooh pattern went well with the natural wood, sleigh bed crib that they found along with the matching changing table and bedroom furniture. Sam was glad that she had someone to share all this with. If she couldn't share this with Jack, then 'Uncle Harry' was the next best thing.

All the furniture and clothes they purchased couldn't fit in Harry's truck so they made arrangements for the store to deliver the big stuff that evening. They went home and it took three trips down to the car in order to bring all the bags up. They ate a quick dinner and by the time the dishes were done, the delivery truck arrived.

"So where do you want the crib?" Harry asked her once they finished putting it together.

"Over by the window, so the baby can see the real stars when he or she gets older."

"Sam, are you ever going to find out what you're having?"

"Harry you are just going to have to wait three more months. You don't want to take the fun out if do you?"

"You're going to kill me Samantha Carter."

The following morning, arpund the same time as Jack was saying goodbye to Lara, Sam had a meeting with her superior officers at Headquarters. She had the impression over the past few days that they were not too happy with the way things were working. Sam refused to do more than what was necessary, which was completely unacceptable from a company that required a hundred and ten percent all the time. They came straight out and told her they were worried that she didn't seem to have a passion for the job. She was so tempted to say something about that, but her common sense kicked in.

She was starting to worry. She knew what would happen if the powers that be begin to see her as nothing more than a liability. They wouldn't care about the fact that she was going to have a baby. The NID did not like liabilities, and rather than try to deal with them they just eliminate them. To safe both her life and the life of her child she would need to find a way to appease them, at least until she could get out of here. She pulled out her cell phone and dialed a number.

"It's me. Look I need your help. Can you help disappear?"

Harry was surprised at the call he received from Sam. He knew that sooner or later the NID would get tired of her, but he was hoping for it being later rather than sooner. He told Sam to go on like usual and that he would work on making some arrangements. Breaking an earlier promise to Sam, he headed to the airport. He had to do what was necessary

Jack was just coming downstairs when he heard a car pull into his driveway. When the knock on the door. When he opened it, he saw the last person he ever expected to show up at his door: Harry Maybourn.

"Jack. Mind if we talk?" He didn't bother to wait, rather just made his way into the house.

"Sure, why not. What can I do for you Harry?"

"For one you can stop being such an ass and get over yourself."

"What?"

"I've seen Sam." From the reaction on Jack's face Harry could tell that he didn't want to hear anything he had to say. "Jack, do you have any idea what you have done to her?"

"I don't want to hear about it Maybourn."

"Well you're going to any way. How could you betray her like that?"

"Betray her! Betray her? That's a good one Maybourn. As I understand she was sent to spy on us Harry. And worse is that she lies to us for almost five years now, and we have to find out from this Miller guy."

"You really are an idiot aren't you Jack. You can't belief anything that Justin Miller has to say to you. Yes I will admit that she was originally sent by NID to spy on you. She went into it as it being just another assignment. She didn't think about that lives that she would be playing with. At NID you are taught one thing: Get the job done. No matter the cost or the stakes, whatever you have to do you do to get the job done.

"Something happened though. After that first mission to Abydos, Sam realized something. She learned that all the people at the SGC were a group of good and caring people. People who had a similar directive as she did: get the job done. But the job done with little force and try to make the world or the universe in this case a better place. She told our superiors that she wasn't going to do it."

"What a great story Harry, but with all respect, why the hell would you care what's going on with Carter right now?"

"Because all of it is my fault Jack. I made a mistake in allowing her to join the agency and I have never forgiven myself for that. She was young and naive and didn't understand that once you were in you were in for life. I consider her to be a younger sister Jack. I sold my soul in order to get her out. I convinced our superiors that it was better for our interests in the long run that they allow her to work at the SGC instead of working at NID."

"How?"

"Sam was to work for the SGC only. Should the SGC be shut down or she is transferred for what ever reason, the deal was null and void and she would have no other choice than to come back. Miller knew this and used it to his advantage as some sort of revenge. Jack, the NID are beginning to view her as a liability, and in our business there is only one way to deal with a liability. Figure it out before your child is either dead or mother less. I've said what I've come to say, and now I'm going to go. Goodnight Jack."

"Wow," was all that Daniel could say. After Maybourn left, Jack had got in his car and drove back to the mountain where he proceeded to tell the same story to everyone.

"Can we be sure of what Maybourn has told you?" Hammond asked.

"The question General Hammond, is how we can not?" Teal'c said.

"Yeah, if that's the truth than we have really screwed up."

"Guys, come on this is Maybourn we're talking about. We can't trust anything that he says. The man is up to something and belief me, it isn't to make everything good again between us and Carter." Jack said.

Before anyone could say anything in response, the emergency signals went on indicating an incoming traveler. Hammond and the rest went to the control room to see what was going on. When they got the identification code, Jack and Hammond looked up at each other and exchanged a worried glance. Moments later General Jacob Carter came through the gate.

"Hi everyone. Hey, where's Sam?"
