Chapter 27
"Where to now?" the Captain asked.
"The White House."
"What, why?"
"The President and the Joint Chief of Staff will be waiting for us, come on."
They got into the two SUV's and headed to the White House. Sam was driving one of them, with Dixon next to her.
"Carter, how does the President know that we are coming?"
"I saw one of the Secret Service agents in the courtroom. When we were leaving he was talking into his sleeve and I saw the earpiece. Plus, I remembered him as one of the agents who was at the SGC when the President came for a visit."
"Ah damn, I should have seen that one." Sam smiled.
"Don't worry about it."
Twenty minutes later they arrived at the White House and were escorted to the Oval Office. When they walked in they all came to attention and saluted which General Ryan returned.
"At ease" and they all relaxed.
"I heard what happened with Colonel Simmons and what happened in the courtroom; good work, all of you."
"Thank you sir." they all said.
"Major, I have General Hammond and Colonel O'Neill on the speaker."
"Hey Sam, SG5, great work. I suppose Simmons shit himself when Oma showed up?" Jack said; Sam giggled and SG5 chuckled.
"Yes Jack and I think he wasn't the only one who was shocked."
"I'll bet. What is this I hear that you have something to tell me?"
"Yes."
"Well"
"Jack, you better sit down and you too General Hammond" they waited.
"Ok, we are sitting down, what is it?"
"Jack, I'm pregnant with three sets of twins."
She looked around the room and saw that everyone had shocked looks on their faces/
"Three sets of twins?… sextuplets?" Jack said, after a minute of silence.
"Yes Jack, sextuplets. Oma showed them to me."
"Wow, we need to buy more baby things."
"I know," she said smiling.
"How are you feeling?"
"I had a bit of nausea this morning but I'm ok."
"Ok, take things easy and don't stress out."
"I won't Jack."
"That's good."
"Major, congratulations." Hammond added.
"Thank you sir. I have just one question about my BDU's in a few months time?"
"Don't worry about that Major; we will have bib overalls and tee shirts for you." Ryan said.
"Thanks sir and foot wear?"
"Something that you will feel comfortable in."
"Thank you, sir" Sam said.
"When does the next court case begin?"
"Tomorrow sir" Dixon said.
"Ok, good luck with the court case and congratulations Major."
"Thanks sir."
"You can all head back to your hotel now."
"Yes sir" they all came to attention and saluted before walking out of the office.
"Well General, Colonel, it looks like the fifth and six race is complete. Congratulations Colonel."
"Thank you sir."
"Keep me up to date on your wife's pregnancy."
"Will do sir."
"Good" they talked for a couple of more minutes before hanging up.
When Sam and SG5 returned to their hotel, Sam changed and lay down on the bed to get some rest, with a smile on her face because she knew that Jack was happy.
The next two weeks were very tiring for Sam because of the other trials. At the end of every day she would go up to her room and the guys wouldn't see her until the next morning. Jack spent three days with Sam over the 4th of July weekend. They spent the whole weekend in bed until he had to return to the Springs on Sunday evening.
Dixon checked everyday, at the reception desk, to make sure that Sam had been ordering room service. When they found out she had been ordering, he was relieved.
Late Friday afternoon, when they returned to their hotel Sam said her good nights before going up to her room. When she walked into her room, she heard the bath running. She went on alert and got her gun but then stopped and smiled when she saw an ice bucket with a bottle of wine, two flutes, a red rose and a bowl of strawberries.
She looked around the room and saw a duffle bag and she knew it could belong to only one person. Then she saw the man in question walk out of the bathroom, wearing his boxers and a grin on his face.
"Hey, how was your day?"
"Jack, this is a wonderful surprise." they hugged and kissed.
"You like."
"Yes, I missed you so much." then they kissed again.
"I missed you too sweet heart. Why don't you get out of your clothes and into the bath."
"Mmm, sounds good to me" Sam had started taking her clothes off when there was a knock on the door.
"Who is it?" she called out.
"It's Dave Dixon; the guys and I would like to know if you want to join us tonight, a night out on the town?"
Dixon heard the door unlock and open; he was shocked to see Jack standing there in his boxers.
"Dixon, you and the guys enjoy yourselves. You will next see Sam on Monday morning; enjoy your weekend."
"Sir, I didn't know you were here."
"Yeah, I only got here half an hour ago. Daniel is in the infirmary again so Hammond gave SG1 a five day stand down until Daniel is up and about."
"Oh; ok enjoy your weekend sir and congratulations."
"Thanks; now if you will excuse me, there a bath waiting for Sam."
"Yes sir" then he leaned forward.
"She's had it rough this past week; morning sickness and all."
"Thanks for telling me. I'm going to go and cheer her up, bye."
"Bye sir" then Jack closed and locked the door.
Dixon went and spoke to the others; they were pleased that Jack was here to cheer Sam up even if it was only for the weekend. Jack turned around and saw Sam taking the last of her clothes off until she was naked. Jack stepped up to her and gave her a kiss.
"I love you."
"I love you too."
"The bath must be full by now, why don't you go and step into it."
"Ok."
They kissed and she quickly pulled his boxers down before turning and walked into the bathroom.
"You sneak" she giggled. Sam turned the taps off and she tested it before getting in. She leaned back and relaxed and then Jack walked in with the tray a few seconds later and put it on the floor and then he joined her in the bath. He picked up the two flutes and passed one to Sam.
"To our six wonderful children who were created out of our love."
"To our family" they clicked their glasses and took a sip and then leaned back and relaxed.
"What happened to Daniel this time?"
"He sprained his ankle while off world by falling into a hole."
"Is he ok?"
"He will live.
"That's good to know; what about Teal'c and Ashford?"
"They are spending time with their families."
"Ok."
They talked while drinking the wine and eating the strawberries. Afterwards Jack massaged her feet while she relaxed in the tub. An hour later they got out and dried off.
"Sam, get dressed. I'm going to take you out to dinner tonight."
"Jack?"
"Trust me."
He gave her a kiss and then they got dressed and left their room and headed downstairs to a waiting taxi. Jack took her to an Italian restaurant that they had gone to the last time they were in Washington, when they were supposed to receive their Air Medals. They enjoyed their meal and they went dancing that evening before returning to the hotel for the rest of the night.
When they returned to their room they removed their clothing and got into bed and snugged in one another's arms, kissed and made love before falling asleep in one another's arms.
Over the weekend they went shopping and sightseeing, having a wonderful time. When Sam said she felt like chocolate or ice cream he would go and get it for her.
On Sunday they went for a walk through the park since it was a fine day with their arms around each other. When they came to a hot dog vendor, Sam stopped and got herself a hot dog before they continued on their walk. When she finished it, they came across an ice cream vendor and Jack got them both an ice cream before moving on. That night they had room service and an early night since a new court case began in the morning.
The next morning Jack and Sam met SG5 in the hotel restaurant for breakfast. They talked before leaving for the court house for the day. By the end of the day Sam was tired and when they returned to their room Jack put Sam to bed and let her sleep. He knew that there were three trials after this one.
He called room service and General Hammond; he gave him an update of the case and let him know how much it was taking out of Sam. After talking to him for a few minutes, they both hung up. The next day Jack spoke to Sam's JAG lawyer.
"How much longer is this going to go on?"
"This is the last day and then all we can do is wait for the verdict. How is your wife coping? She doesn't look very well."
"She's not; this pregnancy is taking a toll on her. I spoke to my CO and he is sending our doctor out to check on her, to make sure she and our babies are ok."
"When is your doctor due to arrive?"
"Tonight, she is on duty today."
"Ok. I hope she and the babies will be ok."
"Same here."
Later that afternoon Janet arrived in Washington. After checking in at the hotel she joined Jack in the courtroom and passed him a note.
'Colonel, stay with your wife until all of the trials are over, look after her son. Dr Fraser will be staying at the hotel so she can keep an eye on Sam, Hammond.' he nodded in understanding and pocketed the note.
An hour later the jury left the courtroom to deliberate on a verdict. Jack walked up to Sam and hugged her.
"It's almost over."
"I know; take me home."
"We will go soon. Hey Janet is here. Hammond sent her to check you over."
"Ok" Jack put his arm around her and they walked outside to find Janet talking to SG5. When Janet saw her, she walked over to her.
"Sam, can you come with me to the women's room?"
"Sure" they walked to the women's room while the men waited outside for them.
"Dr Fraser said you will be staying until this is over."
"Yeah, I spoke to Hammond last night and I told him my concerns. He sent Janet to keep an eye on both Sam and the kids."
"Good idea."
They were talking for ten minutes when Sam and Janet walked out of the women's room and Sam walked up to Jack and he put his arm around her.
"Is everything ok?"
"Yes, I gave her a vitamin shot. Her blood pressure is up a bit because of what she has been going through. I am going start her on iron, Omega5 and multivitamin tablets, which will help her over the next month."
