A/N: I marked this as complete as I thought I'd finished it. Turns out I hadn't... damn muse... As of chaper 8, is it now though. Thanks for the reviews!
They decided to keep things quiet, although from the look on everyone's faces they knew Jack hadn't simply arrived for official purposes. Sam let them ponder and neither confirmed nor denied.
Only Jennifer knew. The look on her face was practically priceless when Jack walked into the infirmary and asked for a check up. Sam's first scan was booked in for midnight that very same day. Both of them felt much more relaxed with the thought of a skeleton crew wandering the halls at night, as opposed to the day shift when anyone could work out what was happening.
The gel was cold on her stomach and Sam felt goose bumps trickle over her body. Jack simply reached for her hand and held it tight. He watched as a series of goose bumps trickled up his own arm seconds later.
The infirmary was silent, except for the doctor's babble and the pulsing sound of a muffled heart beat. Both Sam and Jack stood in awe in front of the video screen.
"Can you tell what sex it is?" Jack managed to squeak out.
Sam's head whipped round so fast that she almost gave herself whiplash. She stared into Jack's eyes. "You want to know?" She whispered.
"Do you?"
Sam's mouth opened and closed like a goldfish. Jack simply smiled as he realised he was beginning to adore that expression already...
"It's too early to tell," Jennifer explained, causing both parents to turn back to the screen again. "But everything looks good... healthy! I'll print off a picture and then we're done."
An hour later and Jack and Sam were lying in bed still staring at the picture.
"Well, if you tilt is this way..." Jack angled the photograph and squinted in the low light.
Sam let out a small laugh and burrowed further into his side. "Somehow I don't think it's a boy, Jack..."
"You think it's a girl?" He asked, surprise evident in his voice.
Sam merely smiled, then followed it with a shrug."Honestly, I don't know... But let's just call it a hunch..."
"We can't call the kid 'hunch', Sam..."
Sam rolled her eyes, "Oh brother!"
