Sam blinked a couple of times, trying to take in what Janet had said while Janet patiently held Sam's hand. It wasn't like the ideal of kids had never crossed her mind before or was an ideal she scoffed at but … A baby. Now. With Jack. After Charlie …

"Oh god," Sam breathed as she squeezed Janet's hand tightly.

"Sam?" at the barely audible question Sam looked up to see Jack in the doorway, cup of coffee in hand, and deathly pale.

"I'll give you two a minute," Janet offered as she squeezed Sam's hand before she quietly left them alone.

"Jack –"

Before she could say anymore Jack had discarded his coffee on a nearby cart and took a seat on the edge of the bed. "Sam –"

"Jack it's not what you think." His brow furrowed as he held her hand in his and Sam watched him carefully. This wasn't great timing – it would have been nice if she had had time to adjust to the ideal first –

"Samantha," Jack asked a bit urgently, interrupting her wondering thoughts.

"Oh Jack I … I'm pregnant."

Jack sat there a moment, holding her hand as she had held Janet's. His eyes seemed set on her and he simply watched her for a moment. After a while he leaned over and cupped her cheek before he kissed her. It was soft and passionate and something Jack would never do on base if he hadn't been so scared, if he wasn't grateful that she wasn't sick. Sam knew it was his way of reassuring the both of them and instead of pushing him away to avoid being caught she kissed him back.

Slowly the kiss came to an end and Jack pulled away but his hand remained on her cheek, gently caressing it. "I love you Samantha."

"I know Jack, I love you too," Sam whispered. "Jack … how do you feel about this?"

Before Jack could answer someone cleared their throat and the two looked up to see General Hammond standing in the doorway with Daniel and Teal'c. Sam and Jack pulled away from each other with ease but Sam couldn't hide the blush that spread across her cheeks.

"I see you're feeling better Colonel," Hammond offered as he moved into the infirmary and towards her bed.

"Yes Sir," she nearly mumbled.

"Good. I came to let you know that the President will be coming here for your briefing. He'd like your usual report as well as to brief SG-1 on the Kinsey situation. He'll be here in an hour. I expect to see you both in the briefing room to greet him."

"Yes Sir."

With a quick nod Hammond turned about and left the four alone while Daniel and Teal'c took up seats next to Sam's bed. "Is everything okay," Daniel asked.

"Everything's fine Daniel. I just haven't gotten enough rest with this whole thing."

"Are you sure Sam? I mean even after the near destruction of Eleftheria you two never even hugged, let alone kissed on base."

"Everything's fine Danny boy," Jack answered.

"He's right," Janet said as she walked back towards the group. "But I need to have a few words with the patient about getting enough sleep. So unless you want to get a lecture too then I suggest you let me get Sam up and about for this briefing."

"Sure thing. Glad you're okay Sam," Daniel said before he leaned over and kissed her cheek. Teal'c nodded his head at her and then the two headed out of the infirmary.

"Well now, I'll be right back." Janet pulled the curtains closed around the bed before disappearing again and Sam looked up to Jack.

"Jack –

"Samantha … do you want the baby?" His eyes bore into hers but he held her hand in a gentle caress.

Sam chewed her lip a moment before she gave a small nod. "Yes … But Jack what –"

Jack cut her off, kissing her again and when he pulled away this time he placed his forehead against hers. "Thank you."

"What for?"

"I never thought – I want this baby too Sam. I just never thought I would till you told me." Jack kissed her one more time before the curtain opened and Janet rolled in a machine.

"Alright, give me just a minute to set up and then we'll take a look at that baby of yours," Janet smiled brightly at the two.
