Chapter 28

Two days later Jack and Sam were watching a movie when Sam gasp

"Sam?"

"I think I'm going into labour, Jack."

"I know. I can feel it, also. Come on. Let's go," Jack helped Sam up to her feet. "I'll go and get your bag."

"Okay."

Sam walk to the front door and opened it to find Daniel and Teal'c there.

"Sam, are you okay?"

"No. I'm going into labour."

"Okay, let's get you to the SGC. Where's Jack?"

They all heard him coming down the stairs and then out the door.

"Daniel, Teal'c, can you guys drive us to the base?"

"Sure."

They all got into Daniel's truck and headed to the base. Jack got his phone out and called Janet to let her know what was happening before hanging up.

"Daniel."

"Yes, Sam?"

"Sorry about the mess. My water just broke."

"That's okay. I'll just send you the cleaning bill."

"Very funny," Jack said and then a contraction hit Sam. She was holding on to Jack hand.

"Just breath, Sam. You're doing a good job here." Sam was leaning against Jack at the time.

Twenty minutes, and four contractions, later, they arrived at the SGC. Janet and her staff were waiting for them. Once Sam was on the gurney they headed into the warm mountain. When they arrived in the infirmary, Janet and her nurse's changed Sam's wet clothing and made her comfortable at the same time. Once they were done and everything checked out, Jack was next to her holding her hand.

"It could be a few hours yet, Sam, so why don't you get some rest?"

"Okay, thanks."

Janet left and headed outside knowing that everyone was waiting to hear what was happening to Sam.

"Janet, how's Sam?"

"She's resting. It could be a few hours yet, but I'm going to keep an eye on her. Sir, have you contacted her father and the Asgard?"

"I'll go and take care of that, now that I know it's not a false alarm." Hammond left to go to the control room to send the signal.

"I'll let you all know if there's any change, okay? Now go back to work all of you."

Everyone left to head back to work, and then Janet went back to check on Sam before heading to her office.

Half an hour later the Gate started spinning, and the Defense team was ready as always just in case it was not a friendly. After the iris closed, everyone waited.

"Getting IDC code. It's the Tok'ra."

"Open the iris." A few seconds later the iris opened and then one person walked through the gate, which shut down right afterward.

"Stand down. Welcome back, Jacob," Hammond said as he walked into the Gate Room.

"Hi. I got your message. Sorry it took so long to reply, but I was in a meeting when I got word. How is she?"

"Okay. When I last heard, Jack with her."

"Okay. I'll go and pop in before getting changed."

"Okay."

Hammond headed back to his office while Jacob went to check on Sam. He walked in while she was having a contraction and waited till it passed.

"Hi, Kiddo."

"Hi, Dad."

"Everything is going to be okay."

"I know," she said as Jack continued feeding her ice chips.

"How about you son?"

"Sore, cause I can feel what she feels. Man I never want to make any smart comment to another pregnant women again about giving birth." Both Sam and Jacob smiled.

"Okay. Well I'm going to get changed and grab something to eat. See you two later."

"Okay, Dad," Sam said. Jacob left them alone for a while.

Five hours later Sam's contractions were getting stronger, and it was now timing.

"Okay, Sam, push. That's it, you're doing great," Janet said.

Jack was wiping her forehead for her every time she relaxed. Then she started pushing again.

"That's it Sam, I can see the head."

Then Sam relaxed for a few seconds before pushing again. A minute later they all heard the baby cry as it took it first breath.

"Congratulations! It's a boy."

"Conner David O'Neill," Jack said.

He gives Sam a kiss and then went to cut the cord before returning back to Sam's side again.

Janet wrapped their son up and walked over to the side of the bed and passes him to her. Sam smiled with tears falling down her checks

"Beautiful, isn't he?" Sam said.

"Yes, he is."

Then he opened his eyes for the first time.

"He's got your eyes, Jack."

"Yeah, he looks like Charlie."

"Well, you've been given a second chance at being a father."

"I know. Thank you for giving me a beautiful son, Sam."

"Sam, I need to take him away to get him cleaned up before his fist feeding."

"Okay, Janet."

She passed Conner to Janet, who then walked over to an oval basin and started cleaning him up and doing the normal measurements and weighing. While that was happening, Sam's placenta came out. Luckily one of the nurses took care of it and cleaned up Sam, then helped sit Sam up. By that time Janet had returned with their son.

Jack helped Sam move the gown so one of her breasts was showing, then Janet passed Conner to Sam, who then guild him to her nipple. He latched onto it with no problem and started drink straight away. They all watch him with smiles on their faces.

"You've got a big boy their, Sam."

"What do you mean?"

"Conner weighed in at nine pounds, ten ounces."

"Whoa, that is big," Jack said.

"Well, it must be all that food I've been giving him."

Janet chuckled. "Could be Sam, could be."

A few minutes later he was finished so Sam carefully put him against her shoulder and started rubbing and patting his back for few minutes before moving him again so she could look at him. Janet took care of the gown for her.

"Would you like for me to get everyone?"

"Just SG1, Dad, and the General. Oh, and the phone."

"Sure."

Janet walked over and got the phone for Sam, then went outside to see a waiting crowd. She had a smile on her face.

"Well, we heard the baby," Daniel said.

"Only SG1, and the two generals first. I'm sure you all will find out soon enough what Sam had."

Then she turned back to the infirmary with them behind her. They walked over to the bed. Jack picked up his son and passed him to Jacob.

"Everyone, I would love to introduce you to Conner David O'Neill, our son."

"A boy. Congratulations Sam, Jack," Daniel said.

"Thanks."

"He looks like a big boy there, Jack" Jacob said.

"Well you would be, too, coming into the world at nine pounds, ten ounces, wouldn't you?"

"Wow, that is big, and he's beautiful."

"Thanks, Dad" Sam said.

They all held the baby, and had some photos taken, as well, since Daniel was carrying a camera with him. Then Sam called Cassie.

"Hello."

"Hi Cassie. How's school?"

"Hi Sam. Busy. How about you? How are you feeling?"

"Good. Would you like some good news?" she asked, smiling.

"Sure. What's up?"

"I'm in the infirmary with our family, friends and the newest addition to the SGC family."

"Is this a joke Sam?"

"Nope. Conner David O'Neill was born at 2027 hours tonight."

"Conner? A boy? You had a boy!" she squealed with excitement.

"Yes. If you be good you can come around tomorrow after school to see him."

"Cool! I can hardly wait. How much did he weigh?"

"Nine pounds, ten ounces."

"Wow! He sure is a big boy."

Sam laughed. "Yes he is. Here's Jack," she passed the phone to Jack.

"Hi, Sweetie."

"Hi, Jack. Congratulations, Dad."

Jack chuckled. "Gee thanks. I'll come and pick you up from school tomorrow afternoon."

"Great. I can hardly wait."

"I'm sure you can. I better go. Phone calls to make, people to see."

"Yeah, yeah, I know. See you tomorrow, Jack. Bye."

"Bye." They both hung up.

"Cassie sure is happy about the news," Jack said

"I bet she is," Janet said.

Then Sam called Mark. "Hello?"

"Hi, Uncle Mark."

"Who is this?"

Sam laughed, "It's me Mark. Sam."

"Oh. What's so funny?"

"Well you're an Uncle."

"I know that."

"Yeah, but now to Conner David O'Neill."

There was silence on the end of the phone.

"Mark?"

"Yeah, sorry. Conner?"

"Yes. All nine pounds, ten ounces of him."

"You had a boy?"

"Yes, we have a son, Mark," she moved the phone away. "I think he's in shock."

"Congratulations, Sam. That's great news."

"Thanks, Mark. I'll send some baby pictures when I get a chance."

"Okay. Does Dad know?"

"Yes, he's right here. Hang on."

Sam passed the phone to Jacob who started talking to Mark for a few minutes before hanging up. By that time Conner was back in Sam arms and asleep.

"We'll leave you three alone. Who's going to tell everyone outside?" Daniel asked.

"Sir? Would you like to do the honours over the PA system?" Jack asked Hammond.

"I'd be honoured," he said, smiling.

They all left Jack and Sam alone for the rest of the evening. Five minutes later everyone heard over the speakers.

"This is General Hammond. Can I have everyone's attention, please? It is my great honor and blessing from Colonel O'Neill and Major Carter to announce the safe arrival of Conner David O'Neill, weighing in at nine pounds, ten ounces. You may start visiting the new member of the SGC family tomorrow." Then they all heard the click of the speaker.

Jack look at Sam and their son. "Well, now everyone knows," he said.

"Yeah, I wonder who won the bet?"

"Who knows Sam, who knows."

They both looked down at their son, and Jack ran his finger over his cheek while he looked at him.

"How are you feeling Sam?"

"Tired and happy."

"Well, since the nurse has brought over the basinet, why don't I put Conner in it and move the other bed next to you? Because there is no way we both can fit on one bed."

Sam giggled and then passed Conner over to Jack who put him in the basinet. He then put Sam's bed flat and moved the other bed over before taking off his shoes and joined Sam on the bed.

Sam rolled over on her side, snuggling up to Jack with her head on his chest. He kissed the top of her head and then listened to her breathing. A few minutes later he knew that she was asleep, so he closed his eyes and fell asleep not long after.

Half an hour later Janet went to check on Sam and Conner. When she saw what Jack had done she smiled. She checked on the baby before going back to her office. She called for a double blanket brought to the infirmary.

Ten minutes later, an airman showed up with one and passed it to Janet who then walked back in and with help from a nurse, they were able to cover both Jack and Sam up before leaving them alone. Just before she left, she turned the lights down for them and walked out with a grin on her face.

Three days later Sam had just finished breast-feeding Conner when Thor appeared in a bright light.

"Thor. It's good to see you," Sam pushed the buzzer.

"You too, Major Carter. I am sorry I couldn't get here sooner. Our new clones have been failing in the past two of your months."

"Oh no. I'm sorry to hear that, Thor."

Then a nurse walked in and stopped when she saw Thor for the first time. Sam notices the puzzled look.

"Lieutenant? Can you let General Hammond and Colonel O'Neill know that Thor has arrived."

"Yes, Ma'am," then she left to go and make the phone call.

"Well, Thor, I hope that Conner's gene will help save your race."

"Conner?"

Sam smiled. "Yes. Conner. Jack's and my son. We had a boy."

"Congratulations, Major Carter," Thor said as Jack walked in and over to them.

"Hey! I knew you were here Thor. Good timing. I just arrived from home."

"And been shopping, I see," Sam said, noticing the two dozen long stem roses.

"Ah, yes, for you. Sorry." He put them on the bed and picked up his son who was looking at him. Then Hammond showed up.

"Thor, this is Conner." He bent down so Thor could look at him. Conner looked at Thor and smiled.

"Hey, Sam! Conner likes Thor! He smiled at him."

"That's, good then."

Then Janet walked in. "Thor, I heard you were here."

"Dr. Fraser. I am sorry I haven't got much time. Can I have a sample of Conner's blood?"

"Sure. I'll give you a fresh sample now if you like. How much do you need?"

"Two mils would be a good start."

"Okay. I'll be right back." Janet walked over to get what she needed, then returned. She unwrapped his blanket and pricked his arm. He started crying.

"Hey, I know you don't like being pricked and prodded, but you, my son, are going to help some friends out."

"There, finished. Here you go, Thor."

Janet used a syringe to remove the two mils of blood, and then put it in a test tube. Then passed the small test tube with the blood in it to Thor, while Jack tried to calm Conner down.

"Thank you, Doctor Fraser. I will let you know if it has worked, or not."

"We hope it does, Thor," Sam said.

"I hope so, too. I must go. Timing is important."

"Okay. See you soon, buddy."

There was a bright light and Thor was gone. By that time Conner had fallen asleep in Jack arms.

"All we can to is hope the sample will help," Jack said.

"Yeah."

"Well, let me know if, and when, he returns," Hammond said.

"Yes, Sir." Then Janet and Hammond left them alone.

Jack looked down at his son before putting him in the basinet, then walked over and sat on the edge of the bed bending over to give Sam a kiss.

"How are you feeling this morning?"

"Okay. How are things at home?"

"Okay. Hopefully I can bring you and our son home soon."

"That would be great. Why don't you find out from Janet, and bring me some jell-o?"

"Sure. Anything else?"

"Yes. You," Sam grabbed his jacket and pulled him to her so she could kiss him before he left to see Janet and get her some jell-o.
