This takes place after 100 days. Something has happened that will shake things up with SG-1

Sam rushed through the halls trying her best to avoid everyone's gaze. Like it or not she had to get this over with. Now. She raised her hand to knock on the door, but hesitated briefly. After one last deep breath and she knocked.

"Come in." She heard him say. "Major Carter, how are…"

His voice trailed off as he saw her crestfallen face. "General, I need to speak with you. It's important."

"Of course, sit down." He gestured toward a chair in front of his desk. She obeyed.

Though her head was down General Hammond could tell she was very upset. He wasn't sure whether or not to start the conversation for her. When she looked up he got the impression that she didn't need any coaxing.

"I'm pregnant, sir."

Hammond's eyes nearly popped out of his head before he composed himself. "Congratulations," he said very slowly. He wasn't certain this was happy news for her, yet. "Major, how are you feeling?"

Sam could feel the concern in his voice. "Not too bad, yet, sir. A little nausea, but its still very early."

"No, Major. How do you feel about what you just told me?"

"I…uh…I'm…" but the words never came. Major Samantha Carter burst into tears.

With that the General left the room and George walked over and put his arms around his friend. "It's ok." He tried to sooth her and his heart broke at every involuntary shudder that she gave. George allowed her some time to just cry. After she calmed down he realized they had to discuss this. "Major, I'm afraid I have to ask you something." Knowing his primary team was very close he simply had to know one thing. "Who is the father?"

She knew exactly what he was asking and it was difficult for her to admit the truth. She shook her head slightly and said, "It was just a one night stand, sir." She started crying again. "I don't even know his name." Sam buried her head I her hands. In between her sobs she spoke. "I took a home test this morning and went straight to Dr. Fraser." I'm almost 5 weeks along.

Hammond sighed. "You know I don't have to say this, but unfortunately all your off-world missions are now cancelled." She nodded. It was the very first thing she realized once she saw the test results. It will be the hardest thing for her to accept. "But, that doesn't mean you can't be an essential part of my team. I know how much you love to tinker with all the things everyone brings back. Maybe you can help us a lot more this way."

She gave a small smile. He was being very sweet to her. "Sir, I would appreciate it if you let me tell them."

"I understand, Major. I'm going to give SG-4 your next mission."

"Colonel O'Neill won't like that." Sam suddenly dreaded having to tell Jack about what was going on. "Maybe if I tell him about the mission it will soften the blow a little."

Hammond nodded trying to smile. "Is there anything else, Major?" He wanted to let her have her own time to wrap her head around her dilemma. She shook her head. "Ok. You're dismissed." It was just a formality he was forced to use. She slowly stood and started for the door. "Sam?"

Her first name was so foreign coming from him. She turned around and he took both of her hands. "Have you ever been pregnant before?" He was acting so lovingly.

"No."

He squeezed her hands and smiled gently. "I know this is all really difficult for you, but you need to realize how wonderful this is. You have a little life growing in side of you. Enjoy being pregnant and don't worry about anything else."

Sam smiled. "Thank you, sir."

"If you ever need anything, you just let me know. I'll take care of it."

His gentleness surprised her and she didn't know what to say. "Thank you," she repeated.

Sam sat in her lab staring at the same slides she had been looking at for the better part of 20 minutes when a quiet knock sounded at her door. "Come in," she called. "Daniel, Teal'C."

"Hey, Sam. Whatcha doin?" Daniel's greeting always made her relax.

"Uh, nothing, really. Just looking at these microorganisms. What are you guys up to?"

"We were preparing to begin a sparring match. Care to join us?" Teal'C's invitation was crushing.

"I'm sorry, I can't, but thank you." Sam tried not to reveal the way it made her feel. "Guys, I have something to tell you." Their eyebrows raised in unison. "First of all, I would really like to be able to tell Colonel O'Neill myself." Their eyebrows raised even further. She cleared her throat preparing herself for this. "I'm, well, I'm pregnant."

Their mouths opened slightly upon hearing her declaration. "Um, Sam! That's great!" Daniel said first.

"Congratulations, Major Carter" Teal'C gave a small bow.

It wasn't until then that she started crying. "Sam? What is it?"

"This wasn't supposed to happen. Not like this. And I don't know what I'll do. I feel like my whole life has come to an end." They clearly didn't understand why she really felt like this. "It was a one night stand."

There, the realization came. It's not Jack's. She knew exactly what they were thinking. "Please, let me be the one to tell him."

"Oh, Sam!" Daniel engulfed her in a much needed hug. "Don't worry, Jack will understand."

"I'll understand what?" His voice came through the room like a sonic boom to her.

The three of them turned to find Jack had come through the open door. "Colonel?" Sam was terrified.

"What did I miss?" He asked.

Daniel turned to her, "Sam, let us know if you need anything." She nodded and they left.

"Ok," Jack said slowly."

"General Hammond is going to give SG-4 our next mission."

"SG-4! Those idiots couldn't find their elbows if I asked them to. Why is he doing that?"

"It's my fault, sir. I think he needs some time to figure out what to do." She paused and could tell he was totally lost. "All of my future off-world missions have been cancelled."

"Your off-world missions?"

"Yes, sir."

"Why?

"Because, I…" Sam lowered her head. Well, I, uh.."

"Carter, spit it…"

"I'm pregnant!" She spit out.

Suddenly Jack O'Neill's world halted to a stop. His head began to swirl instead and he felt like he might need to sit down or throw up or both.

Once again she started to cry. "I'm so sorry." Unable to look at him any more she bolted from her lab leaving her world behind her.
