Stand-alones
Chapter 8 Sam Carter stared at the papers that confirmed her pregnancy. Her face was blank and pale. It was suppose to stay in that room like so many things. She didn't regret that night. She dreamed about it and hoped that it wasn't just that, a dream. Her hands went down to her still flat stomach. She had a small smile on her face. "Carter!" came a voice behind her. She covered the paper quickly and turned around to see her CO. "Yes, sir," she said. "They want you in the gate room with some papers the intercom isn't working so they sent me." He said with a less than happy smile. "Thank you, sir," and with that she walked out of the room. He was going after her when he noticed she had left her notes behind. He picked them up and saw her medical chart and it clearly said right there that Samantha Carter was pregnant. 'Who was she with?' was the first question followed by. 'I haven't seen anyone with her' and 'that son of a bitch'. Sam walked into the room and saw him just looking at a paper. "Col. O'Neill!" she screamed. "I would like it if you would not look though my files!" "I was just getting your notes Carter and I found this," he pointed to the paper as if it had some kind of deadly poison on it. "But, I'm sorry for trying to be helpful." "Sir, it still doesn't give you a right to-" she stopped. "I'm sorry, sir. I shouldn't have snapped at you." "Mood swings," he said again in distaste. "I guess," she responded. "Who's the father?" he asked bluntly. If looks could kill he would have just commented double murder. "What do you care, sir?" she said hiding the truth. "Oh nothing," he said but something in her eyes reminded him of that night. For a second he saw the thought almost though. "I just want to know if someone was with you as a friend." He said, 'not CO' he said to himself. "It doesn't concern you, sir." She grabbed the notes and walked out of the room in a quick pace but she forgot a paper, one that showed the baby's father. Jack O'Neill picked up the paper in a mixture surprise, joy and shock, as she ran after his 2IC. Chapter 9 "Carter." He screamed down the hallway. "You forgot something." He added with a smile. Her face turned red. She grabbed her CO's arm and took him back to her lab. "Sir." She started but he stopped her. "Carter, call me Jack your going to have my kid. I can't believe this!" he said and his grin grew even bigger. "Sir, you don't get it. We could be court-martialed for this." "But, we weren't in control of our actions, Carter." "That's what's so-wrong!" she yelled at him. "I wanted to create a child on my own accord." "Are you going to keep it?" Jack asked suddenly. He was scared of what the answer might be. Would she want to abort her-their child? "Yes, of course sir." She said. "This doesn't have anything to do with the way it was conceived." "So, its me." He said very hurt. "You just don't want to have a child with me." "No, sir. You're the best person it could happen with." She said without thinking. "I'm going to be a dad again." He said. She hadn't thought about that. "Yeah, sir I guess you are." She said. "And with you---" "Yes, sir." She said finally smiling. "We can do this Carter." "But, sir." "I know we could be court-marshaled, but don't you think it's worth it." "But, our careers Jack." "I know but maybe there is more to live than what we do." He said. Then added, "No matter how important what you do is." "I'm not going to be going though the Stargate anymore, at least for a while." "I know that. We need to think of that kid." He said. "May I?" he asked pointing to her stomach. "Uh, sir there's really nothing to feel." She said. "That's a no." "No, go ahead." He leaned closer and put his hand so that it hovered over her stomach. He looked up at her again as if to ask her permission. Yes was written in her eyes. His warm hand touched her tummy in a light gesture. He heard he sharp intake of breath. "Did I press too hard?" he asked as he moved his hand. "No." she said. "Its just a little different." He was tried when Daniel entered the room and said without looking up he said, "Sam, they still need you in-" At this point he looked up and saw Jack's hand on her stomach. "Is there something you want to tell me?" he asked. "I have to go." She said. She picked up a folder and left jack followed her just to avoid Daniel. Chapter 10 When it was time for Sam to leave Jack couldn't stick around any longer in the control room. Daniel was waiting at the door. Sam and Jack spilt up two ways leaving Daniel confused on where to go. So, he followed Sam, she would give him an answer. As he was following her Jack had made a wrong turn and by the end they were all at Sam's lab. Daniel pulled them both in. "What's going on?" he asked. Sam and Jack stood there quietly. "Come on Sam." He looked at Sam. "Jack-?" Turning to Jack. "Okay, then why was your hand on her stomach?" "I'm pregnant, Daniel." Sam said suddenly. Maybe, they would have to tell him that Jack was the father. "And I'm the father." Never mind. Jack added that with a hint of pride the disagreed with his serious face. Daniel was speechless. "Um, how?" "The usual way." Said Jack sarcastically. Daniel looked at him questionability. "Is there something else you need to tell me? Reassignment? Retirement?" he asked shocked. "No," they both answered. Daniel was puzzled and confused. He knew about the Regs. They could be court-marshaled. "We won't be." Said Jack. In his confusion Daniel had said that aloud. Which made him more confused. "Um, uh, hum." Daniel said unable to understand the news. "Congratulations." He said finally. "Go tell Teal'c, Daniel." Jack said. "A repeat performance of this Jaffa style would be oh so funny." "Why don't you tell him?" "We get to tell General Hammond." They said. "Oh---" said Daniel. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~` A light knock was heard at General Hammond's door. "Enter." He said. Dr. Fraiser, Sam, and Jack all walked into his office. This couldn't be good. Chapter 11 Jack, Sam, and Dr. Fraiser sat down in the three seats in front of the general's desk. Dr. Fraiser proceeded to take out a folder but everyone was silent. Was that a pin dropping? "Would any one like to tell me what you're doing in my office?" he asked. Dr. Fraiser said, " We would like to finally explain why Major Carter can't go on any missions though the Stargate, sir." "I'm listening." He said. "Two days ago we discovered that Major Carter was pregnant." She said. Fearing the answer he asked, "By whom, if I may ask?" "Col. O'Neill, sir." Asked Sam. "You broke regulations?" he asked. "Yes and no, sir." Answered Dr. Fraiser. "Col. O'Neill was bitten by a bug the left some kind of venom in his blood that we only up to now have been able to detect." "And?" he asked when she paused. "It was found in Major Carter's system during the blood work the confirmed her pregnancy. It made her birth control useless, and they both seem to be slowly remembering that night but not enough to suggest they had any idea what was going on." Said the doctor. "So, what you're saying is that this all happened without them knowing." "To be honest, sir. We woke up together." Said Sam. "You woke up together?" asked Gen. Hammond. "Yes, sir but we didn't know if something had happened--- at the time anyway." "This could mean a court-marshal but let's hope it doesn't come to that. I don't think may people in a court would buy Alien influence." He said. Chapter 12 A month later people were wondering why Major Carter hadn't gone though the gate but was doing a lot of lab work instead. The news soon leaked of her condition. Even, to those who would hurt them. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~` "Senator Kinsey." Said a voice. "Yah, why its you. Do you have any news from the SGC?" He asked. "Why yes I do and you might find this every interesting." The man said. "And that is?" "Major Samantha Carter is pregnant." "Really?" "And you'll never guess by whom." "Who?" "None other then her Commanding Officer, Colonel Jack O'Neill." This information was prefect this was something that could destroy the career of Col. O'Neill and Maj. Carter. It was too good. It would break up SG-1 and without its elite team the SGC would slowly fall apart. "This is prefect!" he said. The senator reached into his desk and took out a leather bag. "Here, take it and leave." "Glad doing business with you Senator." He handed him a folder with the more detailed information. He tripped his hat and said, "Good bye, Senator." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~` Sam Carter walked out of the restroom from reviewing her breakfast and the little she had had of her lunch. She rubbed her stomach soothingly and she could fell the small bump that was forming on what used to be flat skin. She sighed. Unknown to her, a chain of events, that was starting now, was going to come to be before her child ever saw sunlight. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~` General Hammond entered his office as his phone started ringing he picked it up not expecting what he would hear next. "Hello, this is Hammond." He answered. "General Hammond," said a voice on the other line. "We would like to know why you didn't inform the USAF of the court-marshal able offences that have been going on at Stargate Command." "If you are referring to Major Carter and Colonel O'Neill they have an excuse for their actions and medical proof." He responded. "None the less, they must still be held responsible for their actions and once it is proven in the court of law that the cause for the effect was uncontrollable and out of their hands they will be released." "What are you saying?" "Colonel Jack O'Neill and Major Samantha Carter will be court-marshaled on the grounds of fraternization." Chapter 13 "Sir, what's going on?" asked Jack as he entered General Hammond's office followed by Sam who was rubbing her stomach slowly. You could see fear in her eyes but it might just have been over-active hormones. "As you have already been informed you are being court-marshaled on the grounds of fraternizations," said General Hammond unnecessarily. "But, we weren't in control of our actions at the time." said Jack. "Yes, but they want to take it to court to prove it legally." said General Hammond. "They?" asked Sam. "The higher powers." He responded. "Kinsey?" asked Jack suddenly knowing who was behind this. "It would seem so." He said. "Another plot to destroy SG-1," asked Sam. "We can't use alien influence in a court-marshal without a judge with clearance." "I think that's what they were hoping for." said Jack bitterly. "I bet." said Sam. "The court-marshal will be held in three months, by then you will be six months pregnant. Am I correct Major?" "Yes, sir." said Sam. "What are we going to use for defense if not alien influence?" asked Jack. "I'm not sure, son but you will not lose for something you have no power over." said General Hammond. "Many other questions?" he asked. They both shook their heads. "Dismissed." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~` **Later** "You know Carter I think we can do this, I mean maybe we can." But he stopped. "Carter?" he asked as she rushed out. Sam rushed into the bathroom. Jack ran after her and caught up with her as she spilled the things she had eaten into the toilet. "You okay, Carter?" he asked her. Carter rinsed out her mouth. "Fine, sir." she responded in her usual matter when Jack was around to see her and her morning sickness. Sam had gotten used to the very small bulge that was forming in her middle and was always rubbing it. This always caused Jack to look down to where his child was growing---their child. You could barely see the small bump but it was getting noticeable. "Want to go back to the mess?" he asked. "No," she said. Jack followed her as she headed for her office. When they got in Jack asked her, "Something wrong?" She sighed. "I not sure this is going well sir." "What?" he asked. "This, I mean now we're getting court-marshaled for this and its scaring me. We might lose our careers." "Carter, it's going to be fine. I'll retire if worst comes to worst. You are a wonderful assert to the USAF and I'd bet they'd ask me to retire not you." he said. "But, sir you have a career to and I would hate for you to lose it on my behalf." "Carter." He said. "If you don't like that, then think of it as on our child's behalf." "Sir." "Carter." he came over and looked her in the eyes as if asking may I. "Sure." She knew what he meant by now. Jack softly placed his hand on her growing abdomen. He stoked in a bit and felt the bulge that was growing. "Carter, it's going to be fine." "Sir, I hope your right." "I am, right?" he asked her stomach. She laughed. He smiled at her. "Finally, a laugh that's good." She flashed a smile at him. Chapter 14 For the next month most of what was going on was planning. The trial was two months away and most of the planning was coming up with defense that didn't include alien interaction. Major Davis came into the picture that the end of that month brings along with him a much-needed attorney that had been briefed on the Stargate program and the situation Sam and Jack faced. "Hello," he said and shook Sam and Jack's hands. "This is Tom Lansing," said Major Davis. "He was debriefed on the Stargate program a while back and was hired for situations that had anything to do with it." Sam smiled at him and Jack more or less glared. He hated that everyone there was even a situation to deal with. They both remained quiet though. Soon the meeting was over even though little progress was made at least a cover story was produced. The cover story was that they had both taken a medicine for an undisclosed illness. The medicine had an adverse affect on both of them that lead to the conception of the child. ~~~~~~~~~~~` "Sir, maybe this might not be a good idea," said Sam. "Why not?" asked Jack. "People might get the wrong idea." "Carter, you're not going to live with me just spending the day with me." "I never took you as the person to want to do baby things." "Well, I am. Its best that we set up some baby things now before this big trial and get it over with." "The fact that this will all be cut short because I have an ultrasound today didn't ring any bells?" "You have an Ultrasound today?" he asked as if he didn't know. "If you want to be there all you have to do is ask-" but her hand went to her stomach all of a sudden. Jack noticed the movement, "Something wrong Carter?" he rushed next to her. Sam remained speechless. Chapter 15 Sam stood there with her hand on her slightly raised stomach. "Carter?" asked Jack. "Sir." She grabbed his hand and put it on her stomach. Jack could feel little kicking motions. "It kicked?" he asked with a big grin on his face. "Yeah" she said. He continued to grin. "Our baby's kicking, sir." "Yeah, and Carter," "Yes, sir." "Don't call me sir at a time like this." "Then don't call me Carter, Jack." "Okay, Sam." That those words a feeling went though them even in the comfort of his house this was beginning to seem different. The baby had stopped moving for now but Jack's hand was firmly on her stomach. "Hasn't it kicked at all before now?" asked Jack. "No." responded Sam. "First kick." He said. "We need to write this down somewhere." He raced upstairs and got what looked like a baby book. "Sir, you brought a baby book?" "Wanted to be prepared." "Well, you are." "First kick, first kick, oh here." Jack put down the date and time as best as he could remember it. "Baby's first kick." said Sam. "Yeah." Sam looked at her watch. "Oh sir I'm supposed to be at the base for an ultrasound soon.do you want to come?" "Sure." he said happily. A half an hour later they were in the infirmary with Janet. "Ready?" asked Janet as he lifted up the hospital gown and put a cover on Sam. Sam nodded. "This will be a bit cold," said Janet. When she applied the gel Sam shrived. "Told you." Janet turned on the machine. The next thing they saw was black and white blobs on the screen after Janet had applied the device to Sam's small rounded stomach. "There's the head, and the spine." She said and pointed to it. "A little hand." Sam was now crying. Jack stared at the screen in awe. A few minutes later Janet was handing Sam a printed picture. "Everything seems to be fine." Janet said. She cleaned Sam off and left the room. "You can get dress now." Janet left the room. Sam proceeded to get behind a curtain and get changed when she came out Jack was sitting in the same place staring at the floor. "Sir?" "Yeah, Carter." His head came up. "What are you doing?" "Just thinking." "About what if you don't mind me asking." "You and our baby." Sam looked at him. "Do you think something's going to happen sir?" "No, not really." "Then what?" "Today when the baby kicked I thought it was in trouble because of how your face went." "I'm sorry sir I just wanted to make sure it was just kicking." "No, don't be sorry." They were in a silence. "It did it again." Sam said breaking the silence. "What?" Jack asked. "Kicked me." "May I?" Jack said motioning to her stomach. "Sure sir." "Jack, remember its Jack." She didn't say anything. She just grabbed his hand and put it on her stomach. She moved it around a bit and he got a feel for her rounded abdomen. Then, he felt a sharp kick to his hand. It was bigger than it was before. "Wonder if it's a boy or a girl?" asked Sam. "Maybe it's a girl, she seems to have your kicking skills." "Maybe it's a boy, you have some pretty good kicking skill too." "We should go, sir we'll be missed, soon." "Yeah." Jack said and they left together.
