A/N: I'm not sure if this is what some of you were expecting, but it's here: the ending , of sorts, to Genetics. I'll be posting a few more chapters sporadically until the last one is up. Reviews are welcome! :)
"Colonel, you're not making much sense..."
Standing in Doctor Keller's office, Sam closed her eyes briefly, her fingers gripping the small bottle in her hands. She took a deep breath and looked up at the woman before her.
"You're telling me you have magically acquired the Ancient's gene and now you want me to test your urine?"
"Not magically no..." She bit her lip. "More like the old fashioned way... if you will." Sam cringed – she was even sounding like him now! This was bad, really bad...
"Old fashioned way?" Jennifer asked, her voice taking on a sing-song tone.
"I'm... seeing someone... someone who has the Ancient gene..."
Sam waited for a few beats, seeing the young doctor's expression change from one of confusion to finally understanding. "Oh...oh!"
Sam felt her face blush and she cringed again.
"When was the last time-?"
"A few months ago, when I was back on Earth, he'd arranged this romantic evening-"
"I meant," Jennifer said sternly, cutting Sam off, "When was the last time you had your period?"
"Oh!" Sam watched an eyebrow slowly rise up. "Er... a few weeks before that... I just thought it was stress," she added, realising that it was kind of stupid for an intelligent woman to not even notice these things.
Jennifer nodded, "Understandable..."
Sam merely bit her lip again and stuck out the bottle.
"Right!"
