The flight out for them was quite both of them nervous about seeing Jonathan, he just turned three not to long ago, so he would be walking by now, they both pondered on what he would look like. When their flight landed they hailed a cab. It took maybe half an hour to get to the child services office, they still keep quite but hands locked the whole time. They arrived headed inside to the receptionist.

"Hello can I help you?" She asked.

Sam spoke up "Yes I'm Samantha Carter, I had spoke to Elaine, on the phone last night, about my son, Jonathan."

"Oh yes she is expecting you, come with me I will take you to her office." The girl got up and lead them down the hall to her office.

"Elaine this Samantha Carter…and her husband…I'm sorry I didn't get your name."

"oh he's… "Sam started but Jack cut he off.

"I'm Jack O'Neill, I'm Jonathan's father" He said proudly, and looked over and gave Sam a reassuring smile.

Elaine stood shook their hands " Please to meet you both, if you will take a seat, I just have a few papers to be signed then we will get you to see your son."

They went through what Sam thought was forever pile of papers, finally the last document was signed, and it was time to meet their son.

"Alright if you don't have any question, follow me" They got up to leave as they was walking down to the playroom where Jonathan was, Sam thought of a question.

"Elaine now did the parents have relatives that we should keep in contact with, I would hate to just up and take him away from them."

"Oh no unfortunately both of them were only children and they lost their parents a long time ago, so you are the only family Jonathan has left, of course you are his true family."

Then they reached the window, looking in on a few kids playing. Elaine didn't have to point him out, they both seen him playing in the corner with building blocks.

"Oh my gosh" Sam said tears forming, she couldn't believe she was standing there, he was so perfect, he a slender toddler with blonde hair.

"You can go in when your ready. He is at such a young age it normally doesn't take much for them to bond with you, but take sometime and sit let him get familiar with you. I will be back to check on you shortly." Elaine explained then she walked away.

"You ready?" Jack asked

"yea you?" Sam asked

"Ok lets do this" So they went and approached him, he looked up as they came across the room, Sam gave him a soft smile. He had a inquiring look on his face for a few seconds then he gave her the biggest smile back .

"Hey there" She said softly

"You mind if we play with you for a bit?" He nodded he was a little shy.

"What is name?" Sam ask him trying to earn his trust.

"Jonathan" He couldn't pronounce his name but he did his best. Sam smiles at him, he looked at her for a minute.

"Wats you name?" He asked

"My name is Sam and this is Jack" Jonathan looked over at Jack

"Hey buddy, what do you say we go, get some lunch and maybe an ice-cream afterwards."

Jonathan's face lit up when Jack mention Ice cream "Really?"

"Yea sure lil' man, you want to come with us?"

"Yea…." Then he got a sad face

"Baby what's wrong?" Sam leaned down to his level

"My mommy and daddy is gone, and that lady says I have to get new parents…." He looked down at the floor as he talked.

"I'm sorry sweetie" Sam reached and picked him up, Jonathan embraced her, he cried for just a bit, then he pulled away.

"Can we go for Ice Cream?"

"Sure we can" Sam asked as they she carried him out shortly followed by Jack. They let the Elaine know they were leaving, she gave them what belongings that they had gotten for Jonathan. And just like that they were on their way to being a family.

They went to eat and got the ice cream, then headed to the airport. Jonathan was amazed at the airplanes how big. He was excited to get ride on one. They arrived close to dinner time in Colorado Springs they got to the house.

"Jack?" Sam got his attention when they went to get out of the truck.

Jack smiled he opened the door Jonathan had fallen asleep, he picked him up carefully and they decided to let him sleep with them, and they would spend the next day getting him a room fixed up. He never even stirred as Jack laid him down, then they joined him one on each side of him.

"Look at him Jack, he is so perfect."

'Yes he is, he looks just like you." Jack looked over at Sam, she smiled back at him.

"You know even though I haven't been able to be around him but just a few hours after his birth and today I feel so connected to him, I love him I always have." She said trying to fight back the tears, she had cried enough the last few days she didn't want to start up again.

"Well I love him too, but I would have to confess I love his mother as well."

"I love you too." She leaned in and kissed him, then they gave in and went to sleep.

The next morning they all went out shopping, they let Jonathan pick out the way he wanted his new room to be. They spent hours shopping and going from store to store, they finally were finishing up, when Sam's phone started ringing.

"Hello"

"Hey Sam," It was Janet, Sam had forgot all about calling her to let her know how things went and well the news about Jonathan " I was just calling to see how you were doing, and how things had went with Jack?"

"It went good. He was very understanding."

"See I told you he would be, I'm glad that he was. So what are you two up to?"

"Well something has came up, and we spent yesterday in LA."

"LA? Why ?"

"it's a long story but I promise, I will fill you in, look why don't you, Daniel and Cassie come over tomorrow afternoon?"

"Ok sounds good, what maybe round 1300?"

"Yea that works, see you then." Sam hung up the phone.

"So are we ready to get this lil' tikes room and toys set up. You ready to go home pal?' Jack came round the corner carrying Jonathan to meet up with Sam.

"Yea I want to play" Jonathan said, so with that they checked out, went to the house. It took the remainder of the day getting things set, but it was finally finished. Jack and Sam just stood back and watch him play he seemed to be happy, he felt comfortable around them.

"you want to play?" Jonathan asked them, they nodded and sat down beside and played with him for what seemed hours, then he looked at Sam.

"Are you going to be my new mommy?" Sam stopped what she was doing, thrown back by the question she never expected it, or at least not this soon.

"Yea baby if you want me to." Sam reached out and ran her hands through his thick blonde hair.

"Yea, and you be my new daddy?" He turned to Jack

'You got it, lil' man, and we will never leave you, so how bout bedtime story?'

"Yeah!!" He quickly jumped up and headed to put his Pjs on, then hopped in the bed. Jack sat down with him on his new bed and read him a story. Then tucked him in, Sam stood at the door amazed at how Jack was with him. He was going to be a wonderful father, then she made her way over to give him night kisses.

"goodnight buddy, love you" Jack said, and stepped back for Sam.

"Goodnight sweetheart" Sam leaned in kissed him on the forehead.

'Goodnight mommy and daddy" Jonathan said as he rolled over to sleep.

Jack grabbed Sam's hand and gave it a squeeze. And they headed to the bedroom, it had been a long day but well worth it. Tomorrow everyone would be over to meet him, hopefully Janet explained things to Daniel, it would make it easier.

"So what is it that you and Sam had to talk about and why did you call and check her today for." Daniel said climbing into the bed next to Janet.

"Its about what happened has to do with what happened before she left and while she was gone." Janet not sure if she should tell Daniel but might as well, Jack knows and he was the one Sam was worried about knowing.

"oh yea what happened, well I mean I know what happened between them before she left, but after what?"

Janet to a deep breath " She got pregnant that night"

"what? Really? Well where is the baby?" Daniel asked hoping it wasn't bad news like she lost it or something.

"she gave him up for adoption, she didn't think she could raise him on her own and with the way clone Jack made her feel she didn't believe Jack would want a baby.

"Wow so what did she finally tell Jack the other night?" Janet nodded, and luckily he took it well now she just wondered what happened afterward to have to explain in person.
