Chapter 14
When they were at the SGC, Sam made sure Jack finished he reports and read his memos. When Sam had her monthly ultrasound done, Jack was with her. They looked at their baby moving around and it made them both smile.
When Sam was starting to show, she was given maternity BDU's, bib overalls, and she was granted permission to wear shoes while at work.
Three months after they last saw Jacob, he showed up for a few days. When he walked down the ramp, Sam walked into the gate room. Jacob was shocked to see her. Sam was six months pregnant.
"Dad."
"Sam, Wow! You look great."
"Thanks, Dad. Here."
She grabbed his hand and put it onto her stomach. He felt the baby kick.
"Hey, the baby kicked!"
"Yep."
"Do you know what you're having?"
"A surprise."
"Well, the way you are carrying, I'd say it's a girl."
"That's what Jack said."
"Well, there you go."
"Thanks. So, is everything OK?"
"Yes. I've got a few days off. It's taken me a while to get use to their ways, but Selmac's a big help."
"That's good." Then Hammond walked down to the gate room.
"Jacob."
"George." They both shook hands.
"Is everything alright with the tok'ra?"
"Yes, they've given me a few days off since I'm still learning the ropes."
"OK. Well, in that case, Colonel Carter, since Jacob is here you can take a few days off."
"But, Sir."
"Colonel, that is an order."
"Yes Sir. Can you let Jack know when he and SG1 return."
"Will do."
"Thanks. Come on Dad. I think you'd better change before we leave."
"Good idea…. Into what?"
"BDU's until we get home."
"Oh, good idea." Sam smiled at him.
Then they walked out of the gate room talking about how the kids were doing and everything. After Jacob got changed and Sam grabbed her jacket, bag, and car keys, they walked to the elevator. When they reached the van, Sam passed Jacob the keys.
"Sam, I haven't got my driver's license." She then passed him his wallet with a smile on her face.
"Thanks."
He put his wallet in his jacket pocket before unlocking the doors and getting in. He drove them home. When he got there, he was shocked to see the size of the house. The last time he was in it, the extensions on the house had only started. Now it was finished.
"Wow! This house is getting bigger."
"Thanks. Your things are still in the cottage."
"Thanks, Sam."
They walked inside so Jacob could get the keys to his cottage. Then they walked out to it so he could change. When he returned, Sam showed him the new rooms, both upstairs and downstairs. She showed him the nursery last. The walls were a pale yellow. The room had a bassinet, cot, and everything that would be needed for for their baby.
"Wow! Did Jack do all of this?"
"Yes. He did it when the boys were at Sara's over the weekend and I was having my afternoon nap."
"OK. You sure have got a lot of things."
"We know." He looked at her.
"Are you looking forward to having this little one?"
"Yes," she said as she stroked her stomach.
"That's good. So how's the investigation coming along?"
"It's finally finished. We heard last month the last results of the DNA tests."
"How many?"
"Out of seven thousand, there were two hundred and sixty-one."
"Boys…, no girls?"
"Dad, please." She looked at him.
"OK." He put his hands up in surrender.
"As I was saying, out of all of those children which are mine… six thousand two hundred and seventy-one are Jack's and mine… all boys."
"Woo!"
"Yeah. According to the investigation, Dr. Head was also doing some experimenting with the embryos."
"What sort of experimenting?"
"She has managed to get one of my embryos and spit it up sixteen times."
"Sixteen times…. Did they live or die?"
"Live. Four different mothers have them. Two here in the Springs, one in Colorado, and the last now living in Texas."
"Wow!"
"They are all fine, health boys, and they are all five years old!"
"Really?"
"Yes."
"Any other identical multiple births?"
"Yes ,from the records: fifteen sextuplets, thirty quads, fifty quints, eight hundred triplets, and fifteen hundred twins."
"Wow! What about seven or eight?"
"Yep. Only one in the eight. There was forty-three sets." Jacob was shocked.
"Have you met them?"
"Yes, and the… parents."
"I bet they were shocked."
"Yes. We signed the papers and they have copies of our family history for medical purposes.
"That's a good idea."
"Yes it is. So, shall we?"
"Sure, let's go." They walked out of the room and back downstairs.
"What dose Selmac think about the boys?"
"Surprised."
"I bet."
They walked out of the house and locked it up before getting back into the van and driving into town. They did some shopping and had some lunch.
"Have you had any cravings, Sam?"
"Yes."
"And?" Sam smiled.
"OK. OK, pickles, chocolate, and cheese." Jacob looked at her and Sam laughed.
"Not all at once?"
"I hope not…. Anything else?"
"Potato chips and pumpkin pie."
"OK. So, is that why you're having double chocolate milk shakes with your lunch?"
"Yep. Whenever Jack and I go shopping here on Saturday, we have lunch here and after lunch we go to the ice cream parlor. He gets me a chocolate ice cream waffle cone before finishing shopping."
"Ah, so what about at work and at home?"
"At home, Jack always makes sure there's chocolate and potato chips in our bedroom. Chocolate milk, cheese, and pickles are in the fridge. At work, he stashed potato chips and chocolate bars,and he spoke to the cooks about the pumpkin pies."
"OK. So, any problems with that?"
"Nope. The kitchen staff even added cheese to my mashed potatoes at lunch time."
"That was good of them."
"I asked General Hammond first."
"OK." Sam started laughing. Then she put her hand over her mouth.
"What's so funny?"
"Oh, General Ryan showed up on base last week. He was looking for me. He found me in the mess hall eating a whole pumpkin pie with cheese mash potatoes and sliced pickles on top. I also had three blue jellos and a liter of chocolate milk. He looked at me when I stood at attention, then to my lunch, and back at me."
"What happened?"
"He grinned and asked if it was cravings. I said 'yes,' so we sat down and talked about what happened a few days earlier in the gate room."
"I heard about that. You were talking at one of the water coolers. I just got back from a mission, when Lantash told me what you did."
Sam was in the control room when a team that was due back didn't come through the gate. It was Lord Yu and his jaffa. They wounded the men and women in the gate room. So, Sam quickly closed the iris. Then she ran down, picked up two guns, and fired at them; shooting them all in the head, including Yu himself. While he was still alive, she walked up to him and looked at the host.
"You pissed of the wrong planet."
"Who are you?"
"Colonel Samantha Carter. You should have heard of me?"
"Yes. You are the most wanted person in the galaxy."
"Tell me something I don't know?"
"You would make a excellent host."
"Been there. Done that twice. Got the two tee shirts."
"You were blended?"
."Yep. One snake removed and other died within me. That is why you can sense a presence within me."
"Who was the goa'uld?"
"Jolinar." Yu's eyes widened.
"So, it was true."
"About what?"
"Jolinar pretended to be Amaunet?"
"Yep, and, well, we killed all those goa'uld just like you." He went to raise his hand, only to have Sam shoot him in the heart. He closed his eyes and dropped his hand. By that time, the doors opened and Hammond walked in and the gate shut down. Sam turned to Hammond. She walked over to him. Then SG1 ran into the room after the medical team.
"Colonel, what just happen here?"
"SG17, Sir." She turned to look at the jaffa. Then she turned back to Hammond.
"Who's the Goa'uld?" Teal'c walked over and looked at the body, then he turn to Hammond
"Lord Yu." Hammond nodded.
Then the medical staff wheeled the wounded out of the gate room.
"Well done, Colonel."
"Thank you, Sir." Jack walked over to Sam and gave her a hug and kiss.
"Well, now you know. Hopefully the rest of the goa'uld will know not to mess with me and the tauri."
Jacob laughed.
"True."
They finished their lunch. Then they went to the bathroom to relieve themselves before they went to the ice cream parlor. They talked while Sam was eating her ice cream. Then they did some more shopping before going back home.
On the way, they went and got some groceries. Sam used two trolleys and filled them both up since she's got a growing family to worry about. When they got home, Jacob helped Sam take everything inside. Then he went to sort out his bags. Afterwards, he returned to help Sam put everything away.
