CHAPTER 5
"We got the go ahead, but now I need to talk to the Colonel, do you know where is he?"
"He's in your room Major Carter"
"Thanks Thor, since the sun is setting, can we talk tomorrow? It will give me time to talk to the Colonel"
"Yes, we will give you the time you need. When you both decided come back in here and press the middle button on the stand and we will come"
"Thanks Thor" then she turned and walked out of the room. Lira told the others about the talk that she had with the President.
When she reached their room, she took a deep breath and opened the door. Jack was sitting on the bed reading a magazine. She walked over and sat next to him.
"How did the meeting go? ... Are we going home?"
"No, we will be continue in the morning"
"Oh, have they changed their minds?"
"No, but I do have some news for you" he look up at her.
"What?"
"Lira and I went back to Earth; we spoke to General Hammond and the President. I've explain to them about what the Four Races want from the Tau'ri, and they said it is up to us. For the time being with the President approval, I've been transferred off SG1"
"What?" Jack was shocked.
"What do you think you are doing? ...You could talk to me about it first!"
"I know what you would say and do ... that's why I did what I did, and now I'm no longer on your team, if you want to ... uhh ...we can have a baby, but there some thing else you should know"
She stood up and walked to the end of the bed back and forth.
"Carter!" she stopped and turned to look at him.
"If we do have a baby Jack ... he or she will be human on the out side, but inside will be part Asgard, Nox, Furling, Tok'ra and Ancient with special abilities when he or she grow older"
Jack got up from the bed and walk till he was standing in front of her.
"Is this a joke?"
"No, remember what Thor said before you walk out of the room?"
"No, what?"
"He said 'O'Neill, Major Carter for the Tau'ri to become the Fifth Race we will need something from you both that will command the Five Races' After you left, I ask him what he ment and he told me"
Jack thought about what Sam just said and remembers the talk he and Lira had when Sam went to get the boxes. How she knew that he loved Sam. Guessing that Lira was not the only one who knew about the feelings he has for Sam.
"Carter do you want to have the baby? ... If so, you know what will happen if the NID find out that it is not total human?" Sam smile.
"All the bases are covered Jack, if we do have a baby and if the NID try to kidnapped him or her, they will have to face their 'own personal security guards', so they will be safe when we are not around"
"Who?"
"The Ancients, till the baby is old enough to take care of his or herself and who ever the baby is, will also grow up with special abilities"
"Special abilities like what?" Sam smile.
"The healing powers of the Ancient, the ability to activate the Stargate with no DHD, the ability to use ancient and goa'uld technology... how about that for starts?"
"Wow ... , with all of that the goa'uld won't stand a chance" Sam grin.
"I know, but right now the choice is only yours Jack" when she said that, his smile widen and his heart was doing flip flops.
"Tell me how Thor is going to do it?"
"Ok, how about over something to eat cause ... I'm hungry!" Jack laugh.
"Ok, come on lets talk and eat, I wounder what they pack for us"
"Who knows?"
They walked over to where the chilli bin was and opened it. They got some food out and sat down at the table and started eating. There was a jug of water and two goblets on the table; it was put there while they were in the meeting. Sam explained to Jack what Thor was planning on doing, when she finished telling him, he was looking at her.
"He sure know how to take the fun out of sex" Sam giggle.
"True, so what do you think?"
"Can I sleep on it?"
"Sure, I don't know about you, but I'm going for a walk, what to come?"
"Sure, I notice it will be getting dark in couple of hours"
"I know" they stood up and took care of things before they walk out of the room.
"Now, which way to go?"
"Let's try this way" Sam pointed to her left.
"Ok"
They walked and talked for few minutes till they came to some stair so they took them and went down. The stair leads them outside the castle. They walked down to the river and sat down. They talked till the sun started to disappear over the hills and the night was getting cooler, so they heard back into the castle laughing and joking.
When they walk in to their room, the torches were lit around the room. Jack collapsed onto the bed, while Sam went to find the bathroom. She relieved herself, washed her hands under a small waterfall and dried them on a towel that was hanging up. Then she walked back to their room to see Jack sitting on the bed wearing his sweet pants and a t-shirt reading his magazine.
"If you want some privacy to get change, you can get change in there" he pointed to a door.
"Thanks"
She went through her duffle; got the things she needed and walked into the next room to change into her blue silk camisole and pants. After changing, she brushed her teeth, washed her face and combed her hair. Then she gathered her clothes and toilet kit before walking out of the room to where her duffle was.
Jack looked up when he heard the door open and his eyes widen when he saw what she was wearing. He gave her a wolf whistle that makes her turned to see him grinning, which made her smile.
"Dam Sam! ... You look HOT in that"
"Thanks! ... I think"
Once she got everything sorted out, she grabbed her book and walked over to the other side of the bed. She took her slippers off and got into the bed, fixed out her pillows before getting comfortable, opened her book and started reading.
"What ya reading?"
"Romantic novel"
"Oh, ok" they both read for a couple hours before turning in for the night. They both layed on there backs looking up at the ceiling.
"I wonder how to turn the lights off" said Jack. To that the torches died down and then off.
"Must be voice activated" Sam said
"Maybe, ok ... light on!" The torches came to life once more.
"Cool! lights off" The torches died down again.
"Let's get some sleep Jack" said a tired Sam.
"Ok, night Sam"
"Night Jack" Sam rolled to her side falling asleep within a minute.
Jack kept awake thinking about what had happen in the past few hours since they been on the planet. He thought about being a father again, but didn't know if he could handle losing another child again after what had happen to Charlie. However, he knew that they have offered to give him a second change of being a father with the women he loved. He through about the offer and knew how import the alliance would be to the Earth and to him.
He looked to Sam's side of the bed, she was with her back to him until she rolled over and cuddled up to Jack's side. So, he moved his arm so she could rest her head on his shoulder close to his neck and one of her arms went across his waist. He held her against him as he kiss her forehead and he inhale the smell of her hair before he closed his eyes and drifted off to sleep.
The next morning when Jack woke up, he opened his eyes and saw Sam looking up at him; she was still cuddled up to his side.
"Morning" He said still asleep.
"Morning, sleep well?"
"Yes, you?"
"Yes"
"I've been thinking about what we talk last night Sam and I've decided"
"What have you decided?" she asked a little worried about his answer.
"What should we name our kid?" he said smiling at her. Her eyes lit up and she gave him one of her special smiles that he loved.
"So, you do want to have a baby with me?"
"Yesss! ... But on two conditions?"
"Two! What is going to be?"
"One of them is up to you" he said to serious.
"Me?" she sat up and looked down at Jack.
"Yes, I was thinking in dating ... you know a dinner, a movie, and after that a proposal and a wedding ... if that's what you want." He saw her smile.
"I like the idea, what's the second one?"
"Kids! ... How many and would you like for them to have all these cool abilities? " Sam laughed and buried her head in his chest, he held her till she calm down and look up at him.
