Chapter 26
"You are dismissed."
They both stood up and walked out of his office. Jack went to do his report, while Sam went back to her lab.
Over the next few days, SG1 went on two more missions while Sam was working in her lab. At night, when they arrived at home they worked together to get their new home arranged as well as getting the carpet cleaners in to clean the carpets. All they needed to do was wait for their new furniture to arrive.
On Sunday afternoon, SG5 and Sam were at Peterson Air Force base tarmac waiting for their flight. Two of the SG5 wives were there to drop them and the other two members off, when Jack and Sam arrived.
"Hi guys."
"Sir, Carter."
"I only have a few orders for you while you're in Washington."
"Sir?" Dixon inquired.
"You are to make sure Sam here eats and rests."
"True but she's not going to be playing with one of her gadgets all hours of the day and night."
"True and make sure she doesn't stress out and make sure that you have some fun."
"Yes sir, anything else?"
"Yeah, look after her, if you know what I mean."
"Will do sir."
"Good."
"Colonel, what do you mean?" one of the wives asked.
"There is a group who tried to kidnap me few nights back and they might have associates try to kidnap me while we are there for the trial and the Court Martial."
"Why?"
"Because of my work."
"Classified?"
"Yes" Sam said and they both nodded. Then a man walked down the steps of the Air Force plane.
"Excuse me sirs, ma'am, we are ready to leave."
"Thank you" Sam said.
Then she turned to Jack and gave him a big hug and a passionate kiss and the other two officers did the same to their wives. The other two picked up their bags and walked up and on to the plane, leaving them alone. When Jack and Sam came up for air,
"I love you,"
"I love you too" Sam said.
"Call me, anytime, night or day."
"I will" they hugged and kiss once more before she and the two officers picked up their bags and walked up to the plane and then the steps were taken away. Jack saw Sam at the window, sitting down looking out at him. They heard the engines start up and they waved to each other and blew kisses until they couldn't see each other. He watched the plane take off and disappear into the clouds.
"Look after her, you guys." he whispered to himself.
He left a few minutes after the women. He went back to an empty house and started getting the rest of the house sorted out for the rest of the afternoon and evening. That evening Sam called Jack to let him know that SG5 and she had arrived at the hotel safely and that she would call him the next night.
On Monday morning, Sam was feeling a bit nauseous when she woke up. After she had her shower, she got dressed and met SG5 down in the restaurant for breakfast. All Sam had was orange juice and a piece of toast.
"Carter, are you feeling alright?" Dixon asked.
"Yeah, I will be" They left half an hour later, heading to the JAG headquarters, where the Court Martial was being held.
They took turns giving their testimony about what happened that night. Sam was the last to give her testimony and Simmons lawyer asked her a question.
"Considering what you and the other four men just told us, have you any evidence to support this?"
"Yes."
"Well then, where is it?"
"Oma, can you or one of the others please show yourself?"
Then a white, glowing ball appeared out of the ceiling and floated down next to Sam. Everyone gasped in shock and then it turned into human form.
"Thank you for coming Oma."
"I have been watching the proceedings in this room and I am happy to show my true form for evidence, to prove that the Ancients do exist."
"Oma, that is your name right?"
"Yes it is."
"May we ask you a few questions?"
"I know what you are going to ask; you want to know why my people are protecting Major Carter. The reason is she is carrying a future generation of the six races." Sam gasped in shock and sat down.
"What do you mean, the six races?" the lawyer asked.
"Oma, are you saying that I'm pregnant?" Oma turned and looked at Sam and smiled.
"Yes, you are with child."
"How do you know?"
"Thor scanned you on your wedding night, while you were sleeping."
"Oh, can you tell me how many I'm carrying?"
"Come and stand in front of me and I'll show you." Sam got up and went to stand in front of Oma.
"Close your eyes."
Sam closed her eyes and then Oma went all glowy and surrounded Sam. She showed Sam what had happened on Thor's ship. When she finished she returned to her human form and Sam opened her eyes and smiled.
"Thank you for showing me" and then she returned to the witness stand and sat down.
"Who is Thor?" the lawyer asked.
"An Asgard; he is a friend and ally of both the Tau'ri and the Ancients."
"So your kind are protecting Major Carter because of her pregnancy?"
"Yes, her children will help bring peace to this galaxy and also unite six races."
"What do you mean by that?"
"My children are the sixth race." Sam said.
"Who are the six races?"
"The Tau'ri, the Asgard, the Ancients, the Nox, the Furlings and the Tok'ra."
"How can that be possible?"
"The Tau'ri are the people from Earth and the Ancients. Jack, my husband carried the Ancient gene. For the Tok'ra, I was once a host over a year ago and the Tok'ra's name was Jolinar; she died to save my life. The other races are the Asgard, the Furlings and the Nox; on the day of my wedding to Jack, Thor, who is the Asgard, beamed me up to his ship and he scanned me and he found eggs within me. He took them out and added the Asgard, the Furling and the Nox genes into them and then beamed them back into me. That night, Jack and I made love for the first time and now I'm pregnant."
"Why do you think Colonel Simmons wanted to kidnap you?"
"Experiments."
"Why?"
"He probably thinks that I hold the key to defeat the Goa'uld, which I don't."
"No more questions your honour."
"You may step down Major Carter."
"Thank you."
"Colonel Thomas, any questions for Oma?"
"None your honour."
"You may leave and thank you for coming."
"You are welcome" and then she turned and looked at Simmons.
"Colonel Simmons; if any of your people try to kidnap Major Carter or anyone from the SGC in the future, they will be stopped."
"You can't watch all of them twentyfour/seven."
"Yes we can and we will. If anyone who works for the SGC works for you, they will be stopped."
"How?"
"I will tell the President and the Chief of Staff; they know who I am."
"You know the President?" the judge asked. Oma turned around and smiled.
"Yes, he knows about Major Carter and the children she carries within her and he will punish anyone who would try to kidnap and harm Major Carter and Colonel O'Neill."
"Thank you for telling us."
"You are welcome and I would like to show you how many Ancients are here today to protect Major Carter."
She looked up at the ceiling as it was suddenly covered in glowing balls. Sam smiled when she saw them all and watched as Oma turned into one of the glowy balls and rose up to the others and then they all disappeared.
Sam walked out of the room with a grin on her face; she couldn't wait until she talked to Jack that night. She ran into Dixon as she walked out of the courtroom,
"Carter, why are you grinning?" Dixon asked her and she nudged her head for SG5 to follow her to where they couldn't be heard.
"Oma came into the courtroom and that shocked everyone in the room."
"I'll bet."
"She warned Simmons that if any of his people tried to kidnap anyone from the SGC there would be hell to pay. She also let everyone know how many Ancient's were watching me today; Simmons nearly shit himself." and they all grinned.
"How many appeared?"
"The entire ceiling was covered in glowy balls, so about hundred, more or less."
"Bloody hell, you got more protection that all the Goa'uld combined." the Captain said.
"Yep and I also have some good news."
"Care to share?"
"Tomorrow."
"You are better?"
"Don't worry, I am."
Half an hour later the court was adjourned until the verdict came back. SG5 and Sam went to get something to eat and drink while waiting. They waited for an hour and then they returned to the court for the verdict. They all went into the courtroom to wait.
"Have you reached a verdict?"
"Yes, we have."
"Will the defendant please rise." Simmons and his lawyer stood.
"What is the verdict?"
"We the jury find the defendant, Colonel Frank Simmons, guilty on all counts" Sam and SG5 were pleased that this was finally over with.
"Colonel Simmons, you are hereby stripped of your rank and of everything you have gained while in the Air Force. You are sentenced to twenty years in Leavenworth Federal Prison; this court is now adjourned."
The judge banged the hammer down and everyone rose when the judge left. SG5 gave Sam a hug.
"This is cause for a celebration, what do you think Carter?"
"Sounds good to me but first we need to change."
"True"
They watched as Simmons was taken away and then the two JAG lawyers walked over to them and put their hands out to shake their hands.
"It is an honour to meet true heroes even though your work is classified."
"Thanks but the true heroes are Major Carter and SG1" Dixon said.
"But, you also go through the gate?"
"Yes but we are not the ones who save Earth's ass."
"We had been told what you do and it's incredible."
"Thank you."
"You keep up the good work and keep Earth safe."
"We will" Sam said and then they all went their separate ways.
When they walked outside there was an SUV waiting for them.
