Dedication: This is dedicated to Linz, Alli, AJ, Pepsi, Jay, and Angel for encouraging me to write and post and listening to my mad ramblings about plots. Thanks guys.Janet Fraiser walked into the briefing room and spotted Daniel Jackson sitting at the table. "So, what's going on?" she asked.
"Not a clue." Daniel replied with a shrug. "Sam just said to be here."
"That's what I got too." Janet said. She felt a wave of nausea, so she quickly took a seat. " I guess we'll find out when they show up."
Daniel was about to ask if she was okay, but as soon as she'd spoken Jack O'Neil, Samantha Carter, Teal'c and General Hammond entered the room. They all took seats around the table, and everyone looked to Sam and Jack expectantly.
They looked at each other slightly bemused before Jack finally spoke up.
"Well guys…we asked you all to come here because you're our friends, and we have some news…" He trailed off and smiled at Sam.
"Just tell us all ready." Daniel broke in excitedly. Janet shot him a reproving look, and he calmed slightly.
Jack continued. "I know Sam and I have only been married for three months and all, but…Sam's pregnant."
Dead silence filled the room followed by chaos. General Hammond, Daniel, and Teal'c offered congratulations after their shock wore off some.
The chatter of voices was interrupted by Janet's commanding voice.
"Wait a minute." She started with a serious frown. "Are you sure? You can't be pregnant. There's such a small chance. I mean the shot is almost infallible and…"She trailed off as Sam broke in.
"Yeah, I know, but I was supposed to get my shot right before the wedding and in all the chaos and planning," she grinned at Jack, "we forgot."
A thousand thoughts flashed through Janet's mind. 'It couldn't be.'
'But you haven't exactly been feeling your best lately either.' Another voice taunted.
"Oh…my…god." Janet gasped and fled the room.
"What was that all about?" Jack asked.
"I'm not sure," Sam replied thoughtfully. She exchanged a meaningful look with Daniel and headed after her friend.* * * * *
Janet frantically searched through the shelves in a cabinet in the infirmary. She knew it was here somewhere. She kept one just in case. Her fingers closed around the box just as Sam entered the room.
"Janet, what's going on?" Sam asked with concern. She saw the box in her hand. It was a pregnancy test.
"What! You don't believe me?" Sam laughed. "I did three different tests just to be sure."
Janet blushed. "Um…it's not for you, Sam."
"Well who then?"
"Sam, we get those shots together." Janet stated emphatically, sure that Sam would understand her meaning.
"So?" Sam looked confused.
Janet sighed and spelled it out. "Sam, *you* didn't get your shot, so *I* didn't get mine." She stared at Sam and saw comprehension flood her face.
"Really?!" Sam asked with surprise.
"Well, I was helping with the wedding, and you know, Daniel and I…" She didn't continue.
"Yeah." Sam said. "But I didn't know you were *that* serious."
Janet nodded and looked down at the box in her hands.
"So, you're…" Sam looked uncertain.
"I'm not sure, but I think so."
"But what are the chances that both of us would be pregnant?"
"So small you wouldn't believe it if I told you," Janet muttered. They stared at each other in uncomfortable silence.
Janet sighed. "Will you do me a favor, Sam?"
"Sure, Janet. What?"
"Stand guard outside the door while I do this." Janet requested, indicating the test in her hands. "Don't say anything to Daniel yet, please."
"Okay, Janet." Sam agreed. "How long 'til you know?"
Janet glanced at the back of the box. "Ten minutes."
Sam squeezed her hand and tried to grin. "See you in ten then."
Janet smiled weakly and disappeared into the bathroom.* * * * *
Janet looked at her watch and took a deep breath. She looked down at the piece of plastic she held tightly in her hands. The moment of truth.
A plus sign. She was pregnant.
'Okay. Now what?' She thought. Followed quickly by, 'What am I going to tell Daniel?"* * * * *
"Daniel, now is not the time." Sam insisted firmly. She placed herself more squarely in the doorway so he couldn't get through.
"Sam," Daniel pleaded, "I need to see her."
"Be patient, Daniel, She'll tell you what's wro…what's going on when she's ready." Sam choked on her words, and Daniel's agitation increased.
Jack was standing right behind Daniel. He shot Sam a questioning glance.
'Not now.' She mouthed back.
She heard a door open behind her and turned. Janet emerged looking stunned.
"Oh my." Sam breathed.
"Janet!" Daniel shoved gently past Sam and took Janet in his arms. "What's going on?"
Janet glanced up at Daniel nervously. She squared her shoulder and sighed.
Sam took a quick assessment of the situation and dragged Jack from the room. As she closed the door behind her she heard, "Um… Daniel, we need to talk."***************
"Okay Jan." Daniel looked at her with concern. "What is it?"
"Well… Daniel…" she paused. "I don't exactly know how to tell you
this, but…"
"Janet, are you okay?" Daniel was looking more concerned by the
second, and Janet realized she was going to have to just tell him
before he went crazy.
"Daniel, I'm pregnant."
Daniel's mouth fell open. His expression went from stunned to
confused. "Pregnant? How did that happen? …I mean I know how it
happened, but what…I mean how…I mean…how did this happen?"
A nervous smile crossed Janet's face. "Well, you know how Sam got
pregnant because she missed her shot?"
Daniel nodded his head, dazed.
"Well, I was supposed to get my shot with her, and I was thinking
about it and we were just getting involved then and…" Now, she was
rambling. She drew a calming breath and started over. "I didn't get
my shot. We got together. I'm pregnant…Surprise."
'Surprise!' She though. 'That was dumb. Real smooth, Janet.'
Daniel continued to stare at her.
Janet tried to decipher his reaction. Was he happy? Upset? Just
shocked? She couldn't tell.
"Aren't you going to say something?"
"Um.. okay." Daniel shook his head a bit and tried to think, "What
are we going to do?"
"Well, I don't know. I just found out myself. I was thinking we
could talk about it together."
"Okay. How 'bout I come over about six. That'll give us time to get
used to the idea. Um, I have to go now. Something I need to do. See
you at six." Daniel kissed her cheek and walked out of the room,
still looking slightly dazed.
Janet sank to the floor. She still didn't know what to make of his
reaction. He hadn't seemed very pleased. She started to cry. 'Oh who
was she kidding! He wants to wait until tonight to talk. He hates me
I know it.'*****************
Sam casually walked by the infirmary. She had dropped Jack off at his
office and come back to see how Janet was doing with Daniel.
'Obviously not well.' She thought as she heard crying coming from
Janet's office.
Thankfully, the infirmary was sparsely populated. Not a nurse in
sight. 'At least no one heard her,' Sam thought. 'She doesn't need
any questions right now.'She walked into Janet's office and saw Janet crumpled on the floor.
"Janet! What's wrong?"
She looked up through her tears and Sam starting down at her in
concern. "Daniel hates me, Sam." She started to cry again in earnest.
Sam sank down next to Janet and drew her into a hug. "I'm sure that
Daniel doesn't hate you."
"Yes, he does."
"Well what happened." Sam asked. She was sure that Janet was wrong
and just emotional. She could tell by the way that Daniel looked at
Janet that what he felt for the doctor was far from hate.**************
Daniel aimlessly walked the corridors of the SGC in a daze.
'Pregnant… a baby…wow!'
He practically ran down an airman, but didn't even pause. He was
completely lost in his thoughts.
'Janet's pregnant.. I'm going to be a dad.' A wide grin spread across
his face at the thought. His step became lighter and passing airmen
commented to one another about more strange things going on with
SG-1. Daniel was oblivious to it all.
Suddenly, he stopped dead in his tracks as another thought struck
him. 'Wait a second. I'm going to be a dad, and I don't even know
what Janet thinks about this.' He pondered this for a while in the
middle of the deserted corridor before deciding that he'd find out
when he went over to Janet's that night.
He was almost back at his lab when he was sidetracked by Jack. More
like accosted. Jack dragged him down the hall towards his office.
Jack had stayed in his office until Sam was out of sight and then set
out to find Daniel. He knew he could get Daniel to tell him what was
going on.
He was beginning to think his search wouldn't turn up anything when
he saw Daniel walking aimlessly down the hall and grabbed him.
Daniel gave him a concerned look as they reached Jack's door. "Umm,
Jack are you okay?"
Jack grinned and replied with mock innocence replied, "Oh, I thought
you and I should have a little chat.
"Why?"
"Well, Danny-boy. I want to know what's been going on in your life.
How you've been. You know."
Daniel glared at him with exasperation. "You want to know what's
going on with Janet and me."
"Exactly. I always knew you were an intelligent man." Jack grinned
endearingly, then grew more serious. "No really. Are you guys all
right?"
"I'm not so sure Jack." Daniel's face became worried. "Could I talk
to you about something?"
"Of course. My door is always open." He motioned Daniel in. "Except
of course when it's closed." He added as he followed.
"Right." Daniel couldn't help but smile at Jack's ridiculous
statement.***************
"You knocked up the Doc!"
Daniel looked annoyed. "Could you perhaps yell that a little louder?
I don't think the airman guarding the front gate heard you."
"Sorry, Daniel. But you and the Doc?" Jack raised an eyebrow.
"Really?"
"Yes Jack. Really. Why is that so hard to imagine?" Daniel looked
offended.
Jack quickly reassured him. "It's not that it's hard. I just never
thought you'd act on it."
Then Jack asked the question that Daniel wanted to talk about. "So,
what are you guys going to do?"
"Daniel sat down in one of the chairs and put his head in his hands.
"I don't know."
"I don't know how she feels. I don't know what we're going to do.
Hell, I don't even know how I feel…. I think I'm happy. I mean I'm
thrilled about being a father, and I love Janet, I just don't know
what we're…." His voice trailed off. "I love Janet." He looked
shocked.
Jack smirked. "Of course you do. I thought that was obvious."
"You mean you haven't told her?"
Daniel shook his head. "No. I mean, I liked her a lot, and I love
Cassie, and I knew that I loved being with Janet, but …I really love
her. I don't know what I'd do without her. I have to tell her…I'll
tell her tonight."
"You're going to see her tonight?" Jack looked to Daniel for
confirmation.
"Yes. We're going to talk about the baby and what we're going to
do."
Jack felt a sick feeling in his stomach. "Um… Daniel, what exactly
did you and Janet say to each other when she told you about the
baby."
Daniel looked perplexed. "Well, I was so shocked…I guess she told me
and I didn't know what to say, so she asked me. I said what are we going to do.
She said she didn't know. I said I'd come over tonight to talk about it….Oh shit!"
Daniel and Jack shared a "damn" look.
"That's about what I'd say."
"I completely blew this didn't I?" Daniel asked with despair.
"Why don't I go find Sam. Maybe she can fix this." Jack suggested.
"Stay here."
Daniel nodded and flopped back into the chair. His head hung back and
he moaned.
Jack ran, hoping he could find Sam quickly.***************
