Her mission had been a success. She had returned weeks ago. But she wasn?t feeling too good. Janet had prodded her with several sharp instruments, and was asking her questions.
?Have you been sick??
?Yes ? every morning.?
?Ah.? Janet gave her a box and pointed to the curtain.
?Hmm,? said Janet, minutes later.
Sam?s eyes were closed. She didn?t want to know. Janet sighed.
?As from now, you are no longer on active duty.? Sam opened her eyes and smiled. Janet smiled back. They went to the general and explained her predicament.
She was pregnant.
?Pregnant?? spluttered Jack and Daniel. Teal?c gave her a wane smile.
?Congratulations, Major Carter.? She beamed.
?I?m no longer on active duty, so you?ll have to come round and see me.?
Jack pondered. Was it his? Most likely. Sam was a one-man woman. But if it was his?.
Uh oh.
He said nothing. She knew.
The door slammed shut as Jack entered her apartment. She knew the consequences. So did he. He stormed into the room, where he found her with an innocent look on her face.
?It?s not my fault,? she said. He sighed.
?I know. Excuse me for a moment.? He went into the next room and screamed for a while. Then he screamed for a bit longer. He re-entered the room and looked at Sam.
?I?m done.?
?Dad,? Sam sighed. ?I?m pregnant.? A silence. More silence. Even more silence. ?Dad??
?I?m going to be a grandfather again. I?m going to be a grandfather again. Wow.? Sam?s relief overwhelmed her. She clutched the phone less tightly.
?So, whose is it?? Damn.
?Uhh, I can?t say.? Uh oh.
?Sam, I won?t tell anyone. Promise.?
?Ohh, okay. It?s Jack?s.? More silence.
?Sam, that?s not good.?
?I know.?
?Who else knows??
?Jack, Daniel, Teal?c, the general??
?I meant, who else knows it?s Jack?s??
?Jack.?
?That all? Oh. Well, I?ve got news. Freya also happens to be pregnant.?
?Oh, wow! Tell her I said congratulations!? What a weird twist. Hmm, wonder whose it is?
?Okay, Sam. You go and get some rest now, sweetie, ?kay??
??Kay.? She hung up. The doorbell rang. Wow, now that?s timing?
It was Daniel and Teal?c.
?Hey Sam. We came to see if you were okay. Jack said he?d be here, but I haven?t seen his car around, so?? Daniel tailed off. He was worried about her. As a friend. He shared common interests. She understood his anguish. Whenever he was sick, she worried about him.
?Well, come in.? They entered and presented her with a surprise.
?Oh, thank you!? Lots of books to read, yay. To be honest, she was tired, but decided that because she had guests, she?d make the effort to stay awake. The doorbell rang again, and Daniel stood up.
?It?s probably Jack. I?ll get it.? He was half right. Jack had stayed at the mountain base to pick up Jacob, who rushed in to his daughter.
?Sam, are you okay?? He immediately started to fuss, but she held him back.
?I?m fine, dad. Just a little sleepy. How?s Freya??
?Fine. She sends her congratulations, too.? The conversation stayed maternal for a while, until Jack butted in.
?Excuse me, but do we really have to talk about this? Teal?c looks nauseous.? He was right. Teal?c did look sick. ?And anyway, our little hostess looks tired, so we?ll be leaving now, riiight?? He motioned at Daniel, who jumped up.
?Right, yeah, okay. Uhh, guess we?ll see you soon, Sam.?
??Kay,? she replied. They made their way to their cars and left. Jack took Jacob back to the mountain.
?Jack, I know it?s yours.? Silence.
?Oh. She told you.?
?Yeah. And I have to say, I?m not surprised.?
?What??
?Well, you two have that kind of, you know, tension. It was bound to break.?
?Oh.? More silence. They pulled into the car park. Jack turned to Jacob.
?Jack, don?t give up your career for Sam. I can provide for her,? Jacob warned him.
?I wasn?t going to do that, don?t worry.?
?Good. See you tomorrow.?
?Yeah.?
Jacob went into the mountain, leaving a very puzzled Jack in his car.

9 months later?
?What are you gonna call it?? Jack asked her. She smiled.
?It?s a girl, sir, not an ?it?. I?m not sure, but I might call her Charlotte. Charlie for short, though,? she added. Jack?s memories of his own son were jolted at this, but he soon forgot them as his new baby girl was handed to him.
?Hey, there you are. You are gonna have the best mom in the world, ya know. Didja know that?? He smiled and passed little Charlie to Daniel. Sam fidgeted.
?Uh, guys? I know everyone?s really happy for me and all, but I have another thing I?d like to say. This morning there was an envelope on the general?s desk this morning. It was a resignation. From me.? Everyone turned to look at her. She continued. ?Now don?t get me wrong, we have had some real great times, but I have issues within the SGC, and I can?t deal with them unless I quit. So, you won?t see me around much.? Jack coughed.
?What a coincidence. I quit this morning, too. Ironic, huh?? She stared at him. Daniel and Teal?c, sensing the tension, made a quick exit with Charlie.
?But I quit so that you didn?t have to,? Sam spluttered.
?So did I, but the problem with you quitting is that you have a whole life ahead of you.?
?No, I have motherhood.?
?True.?
?Well, if you don?t mind, I think I?ll go tell the general to accept my resignation.? She got up. He grabbed her.
?Sam, I think the best thing we can do is?? She looked up.
?Tell him??
?Yup.?
?Okay.?
15 minutes later?
?You can?t be serious!? Jack?s grin grew to new heights as General George Hammond, superstar, hung up the phone. He smiled.
?I am very serious. He did say that. And you wouldn?t believe the amusement in his voice.? But Sam needed clarification.
?Sirs, excuse me a moment, but everything is a little fuzzy, probably because of childbirth. What in the world did he say?? Jack sighed and held her hands.
?Carter, the president has just issued a statement, allowing two officers to have relations. Okay?? He smiled at her face, a mixture of happiness and confusion.
?Uhh, okay?? She sat there, stunned. The President! The general had this kind of power? He?d gotten the President to make a law? Wow!
?And now, we tell Danny boy and Teal?c, and reclaim our daughter from them.? They stood up and headed for the door. Jack made a mental note to find them via the locker room.
10 minutes later?
In the gate room, SG-1, Charlie and the general waited for another new arrival. The backwash subsided, and Freya and Jacob entered.
?Hiya!? They all said hello to the new arrivals, Charlie and Joanne. Two little girls, so sweet and innocent?
As they talked on the ramp, the Stargate activated without warning, and the two children were dragged into the backwash.
?NO!?
Everyone tried to go through the ?gate, but the general stopped them.
?Unequipped?? he said. They bowed their heads as the Stargate deactivated.
15 seconds later?
?Incoming wormhole, sir. IDS signal received. Oh, but it?s not one the computer knows.? The lieutenant stared. ?Uhh, it says ?get me out of here,? sir.?
?Open the iris.?
The iris fell back, and a long pause filled the room as SG-1 ran in, accompanied by Freya ad Jacob. Silence.
Then?
?Whoa!? A thud. ?Ouch! Did you have to land on me?? Everyone looked amazed as the two travellers flew through the ?gate and landed on the ramp. They dusted themselves down, and stood up. The brunette looked at Sam.
?Hi, Sam. Sorry to barge in on you and all, but me and Jo are sooo tired.? The redhead smiled innocently.
?We really are sorry.? She meant it.
?How do you know Carter?? asked Jack. The brunette stared at him.
?Oh my god, you don?t even know your own daughter??
Two thuds. Sam and Jack had fainted. The brunette sighed.
?Parents.? She turned to Jo. ?At least Anise hasn?t fainted.? The general approached them.
?Care to explain why you aged fifteen years in fifteen seconds?? he demanded.
?Uhh, no?? He stared at Jo. ?Okay, yes.? Defeated, they trooped to the briefing room, while Jacob attempted to revived Sam and Jack.
?Okay, one more time, for the record.? Jack had heard this three times. He didn?t get it.
?Okay. We were born. You guys know that.?
?That?s for sure,? muttered Sam.
?Then we get sucked into the Stargate?s backwash, into a time-warp. Weird, yes. We age one year per Earth second. We learn our family history and other important stuff, like who?s evil, what not to do and how to iron. Then we get thrown back through the Stargate. Comprende??
?How do we know you?re the real Charlie and Jo?? asked Daniel.
?DNA testing,? said the good doctor, as she entered the room. ?I?ve done the tests, and the DNA matches up. They?re the real thing.? Sam simply stared. Her daughter? Very bizarre?Jack coughed.
?Okay, so we know they?re the real McCoy. What now??
?Cool!? Charlie?s eyes lit up at the prospect of being part of SG-1. Jo was already part of the Tok?ra, with the exception of not having a symbiote. But SG-1! Mega-cool!
THE END!
