A/N: Thank you all of you for suggesting middle names. I liked a lot of them so I gave the girls two middle names ;)
I really loved Moebius part 2 with AU Jack and AU Sam in the ship…
4 months later – (this is going to be more like different periods of time during Sam's pregnancy)
"I know it's hard to lie still but this will just be a minute," Said Dr. Brightman before starting the ultrasound. Last month Sam and Jack had found out they were going to have twins. Sam was lying on a bed in the infirmary and Jack was sitting next to her holding her hand. Dr. Brightman pointed to the screen "Ok. Both babies look good. Everything is forming nicely. Would you like to know the sexes?"
Having discussed it the night before, Sam answered "Yes."
"Alright. Baby A is a…girl and Baby B is…also a girl. I'll print out pictures for you two and we'll have another ultrasound next month," said the doctor.
A nurse wiped off Sam's tummy and Dr. Brightman gave Jack and Sam each an ultrasound picture.
"Colonel Carter, absolutely no gate travel for any reason. You have a higher risk pregnancy because you're having twins. No gate travel and try not to stand for long periods of time. Understood?" Ordered the doctor
"Yes," pouted Sam not happy about the lack of gate travel
"I don't understand why cribs can't come preassembled," complained Jack later that day
"Because, Jack, if they did you wouldn't have any reason to complain," Daniel answered, pointing his screw driver at Jack
"It is not very difficult to assemble if you read the instructions that came in the box," Teal'c replied "I am almost finished in constructing this crib."
Cassie hopped off the step ladder "Ok, the ceiling is finished."
"It looks great, Cass," Sam complimented as she came into the room with drinks for everyone.
"What color did you decide on for the walls?" Daniel asked, taking a can of pop from Sam
"Light purple. As much as I like pink I don't really want an entire room painted that color," Sam told him
"And after the cribs are put together," Cassie looked pointedly at Jack "We can paint the walls."
"Indeed. Perhaps I should assist General O'Neill and DanielJackson," Teal'c stated
Sam sat in the rocking chair to watch the guys. Cassie brought over a stool and sat next to Sam. "Sometimes they're more fun to watch than TV."
"And sometimes I'd just like to kill them all," replied Sam with a smile
Half an hour later the second crib was finally put together. Sam ordered pizza while the guys and Cassie started painting. The pizza came and Sam took it up to the room. Amazingly they were done painting. It really wasn't a big room so with four painters the quick room painting was logical.
"Mmm, pizza," said Jack, taking the pizza box from Sam "Thanks."
The group sat in the living room eating pizza and talking
"Ok, once the paint dries you guys can arrange the furniture in the nursery," Sam instructed, resting the paper plate on her tummy
"Indeed," replied Teal'c
"Daniel, do you want to go to the commissary with me?" Sam asked "I really want some green jello."
Daniel looked up from his work "I'd love to. Just let me save what I did on my computer and we'll go."
He did just that and got up to join Sam in the hallway. They began their walk to the mess hall.
"How are you doing today, Sam?" the archeologist asked
Sam rubbed her belly "I'm doing well. The girls are asleep right now…finally."
(A/N: my cat decided to sit on my lap while I was writing and that makes it kinda hard)
"I can imagine having two in there makes you feel like a soccer ball," Daniel said
"More like a giant beach ball," laughed Sam "Wow, I really want some green jello."
"Do you even like green jello?" asked Daniel
"No, not really but apparently the girls do. They like all sorts of weird things at weird times," she told him "I've sent Jack out on a few food runs in the middle of the night already."
Daniel started laughing at Sam's last comment
"What's so funny?" They heard Jack ask as they got to the commissary
"Oh, just imagining you going out in the middle of the night to get Sam whatever she's craving," explained the younger man "She wants green jello now."
"Well, there's always room for jello," replied Jack
Jack had gone to run errands an hour or so ago leaving Sam, wearing grey maternity sweat pants and one of Jack's big hockey jerseys, at home to watch movies and such. In the middle of The Sixth Sense the doorbell rang. Sam got up as eloquently as a woman six months pregnant with twins could and answered the door.
"Hello," said the woman "I was…uh… looking for Jack O'Neill."
"He went to the store. You are Sara…?" asked Sam
"Yes. And you are Samantha, right?" Sara smiled "It looks like I missed some news."
"Yeah, call me Sam. Would you like to come in? Jack should be home soon," Sam invited. Sara entered
"How far along are you?" the older woman asked
"Six months. Would you like anything to drink?"
Sara sat on the couch "No thanks. Six months? That's one big baby."
Sam joined Sara on the couch and unconsciously put her hand over her babies "Actually I'm having twins. Both are girls."
"Congratulations," said Sara. She saw Sam's rings "When did you and Jack get married?"
"Seven months ago. We were on downtime with our friends and we decided to go to Las Vegas to get married. I was actually joking when I suggested it but Jack really liked the idea and Cassie was all for it," explained Sam
"Cassie?" asked Sara
Jack got home an hour after Sara arrived to find his ex-wife and his current wife sitting together in the living room talking and laughing.
"When I told Jack I was pregnant we were at work because I didn't see him at all the day I found out and he picked me up and kissed me then ran down the hall yelling 'I'M GONNA HAVE A BABY!' It was so funny," Sam told Sara and they both erupted into laughter.
While still laughing Sara managed "When I told Jack my water broke he said he'd get me a new one,"
"Um, hello? The source of your amusement is home now" said Jack over the laughter
"Hey. Sara's here. We've been talking about her pregnancy with Charlie and mine," Sam told him after he kissed her hello.
"Comparing notes?" Jack asked as he went to the kitchen to put the groceries away.
"You could say that," laughed Sara "I suppose I should congratulate you on getting married and your twins, Jack."
"Thank you, Sara. Did Sam show you the nursery?" Jack asked
Sara smiled at Sam "She did. It looks very nice. I like the ceiling. How the stars fade into clouds."
"Cassie's idea. It turned out really well, too. I didn't know she could paint so well," Jack supplied coming back into the room. He sat next to Sam "Not to be rude, Sara, but what brings you here?"
"She's getting married!" Sam told him
Jack smiled "You don't say."
"Yeah. His name is Drew," explained Sara "We've known each other for about three years and we just got more and more serious. I wanted to tell you to your face instead of you finding out when you got the invitation."
Jack winced "Sorry about…"
"Oh, no. Don't worry about it. Sam told me all about your wedding. She even showed me the pictures. You have some very interesting friends," she said
"That is very true," giggled Sam
"Hey! No giggling, Colonel," Jack joked
Sara's cell phone rang "Hello? … Oh, hi… yeah I'll be home soon… ok… yep… bye." She turned back to Jack and Sam "That was Drew. We're meeting his brother for dinner. I have to go."
Sara leaned over and hugged Sam "Call me if you have any questions, ok?"
"I will," vowed Sam "I have your cell number in my phone."
Sara stood up and Jack followed suite. "It was good to see you again Jack. You should really come to the wedding."
"It was good to see you too," Jack hugged his ex-wife "And we will come. Sam will make sure we do."
Sam and Jack were lying on their bed after a long day. Sam had gotten home before Jack and lied down to rest. She Jack got home he laid next to her and kissed her exposed tummy. He laid his head above her 7 month pregnant belly and rubbed it slowly and did something he hadn't done before. He started talking to the twins.
"Hey girls, it's your daddy. Your mommy and I love you very much." Sam started to run her fingers through his hair. "So do Uncle Daniel, Uncle Teal'c, Cassie, and Grandpa George and we are all excited for the two of you to be born. With me and your mom being your parents you two will know a lot of good and bad things most kids won't. We are working on getting rid of all the Goa'uld. They're bad guys with snakes in their heads. The Tok'ra are the good guys with snakes in their heads. Your grandpa Jake was one. His symboite gave him 4 more years to live. He had a disease called cancer but Selmak helped make him better. Thor, he's a good guy. He keeps dying or getting killed but his consciousness can be transferred to a new body each time. Anyway he will keep you guys safe if we have any problems on Earth. I'm the General of the SGC and I can do whatever I want so I'll bring you to work with me whenever I want and you can have fun with Uncle Teal'c if mommy and I are busy. So many people are awaiting the arrival of you two."
Jack kissed her tummy again and moved up so he could kiss Sam.
"That was very cute," Sam said "And good job not getting too technical."
"Well, they're your kids. I'm sure they understood," replied Jack "In fact, with your smarts, my ancient gene and everything else they're probably going to be geniuses."
"You never know."
Jack sat up "What should we name them?"
"I've been thinking about that," Sam told him, successfully sitting up as well.
"What don't you think about?" Jack asked
Sam shook her head and smiled "I like the names Grace and Madison."
"Gracie and Maddie. Very cute," interrupted Jack
"But I think they're going to end up with two middle names," Sam finished
Jack gave her a confused look "Why do you say that?"
"Well I was thinking Grace Mackenzie Janet and Madison Aurora Rose. Mackenzie was my mother's middle name; Rose was your mother's. Janet is obvious and I've always liked the name Aurora," she explained
"You had this all figured out already," Jack laughed
"Well I knew you were going to agree with whatever I said."
"…and I think we've fixed it," Daniel said, putting down his tools
"Are you sure?" Sam asked stretching her sore back
"Yeah. Does your back still hurt?" he asked pouring himself a cup of coffee
"It does. It has all day. I'm not sure why," Sam replied, rubbing her back
Cassie was looking through her books for next semester. She was on winter vacation (it's mid December in case you were wondering) but came to the SGC with Sam, Jack, and Daniel everyday and hung out with them. "Ya know, Sam. It could be because you're eight and a half months pregnant."
When Cassie didn't get a response she looked up "Uh Sam?"
"Sam? Is that what I think it is?" Daniel asked, eyes wide
"Sam?" Cassie asked concerned "What is it?"
Sam looked from Daniel to Cassie and back again "My water just broke."
"Uncle Jack! Uncle Jack!" Cassie exclaimed as she ran into the briefing room in the middle of Jack's briefing with SG-8, General Hammond, and the President
"Cassie, I'm in a briefing right now but –"
Cassie caught her breath "No! You have to come! Sam's in labor! Her water broke when we were in Daniel's lab."
"What!" exclaimed Jack who was suddenly very excited and unable to think clearly "Um, mission postponed and…"
"Jack. Go," Hammond told him after Cassie sprinted back to the infirmary
Jack got to the infirmary having run over two airmen in time to hear Dr. Brightman ask "You didn't feel any contractions?"
"My back has been hurting today but I didn't think anything of it," was Sam's reply
"You can get contractions in your back," the doctor told her, putting a fetal monitor on Sam
Jack walked over to Sam and took her hand "But she's early."
A nurse put an IV in Sam's arm "Twins are usually early."
"You aren't completely dilated yet so we have some time before you will be in full labor," Dr. Brightman told them from the foot of the bed
"How much time?" Cassie asked, pausing from running around like a chicken with its head cut off
"I'd say an hour, two hours at the most," estimated the doctor
Cassie ran out to tell Daniel, Teal'c and any other people who had gathered to hear any news. She came back in and Sam asked her "What are Daniel and Teal'c doing?"
"Daniel said he will be in here in a little bit and Teal'c said it's a tradition or something to stand guard at the door to fight any enemies that would want to hurt the baby or something like that so that's what he's gonna do," Cassie relayed
An hour later Sam's epidural had fully kicked in "I love the epidural man," she smiled
"He's the anesthesiologist, honey," Jack told her
"I don't care. He'll always be the epidural man to me."
Interrupting Sam's new found happiness at reduced pain, Dr. Brightman announced "You are fully dilated and I'm going to need you to start pushing when the next contraction comes. General, I'm going to ask you to sit behind Sam to help her sit up. Cassandra, Daniel, you two just do whatever the nurses ask."
Outside the infirmary General Hammond and President Hayes had finished their meeting with SG-8 and were talking with Teal'c.
"How is everything going?" Hammond asked
"Cassandra has informed me Colonel Carter is fully dilated and they will begin. A few moments before you arrived Colonel Carter told General O'Neill quite loudly that he was never to touch her again."
Hammond and the President both laughed at that "I remember my wife telling me that when our first child was born," remembered Hammond
"I do believe it is quite common," Teal'c commented
"Come on baby, just one more and you can rest," Jack whispered to his wife before kissing her temple
"Easy for you to say," ground out Sam "You don't have two babies coming out of you today, do you?"
Another contraction hit and she pushed like Dr. Brightman instructed. "Ok, Sam the head is out, don't push again until I tell you."
Sam leaned heavily against Jack, catching her breath while the doctor and a nurse made sure nothing was caught against the baby's neck. "You do this to me again and I will shoot you with a zat," Sam told her husband
Cassie, who had gone to update the masses, came back to report "The President had to go but he said he'd come back later to meet the daughters of his two favorite people at the SGC."
"That's nice," replied Sam, sarcastically
"Ok, Sam. One more big push and this one will be out. You can do it," the doctor encouraged
A big push, a loud yell and a lot of encouragement brought the first baby into the world. "It's a girl," Dr. Brightman announced, holding up the crying baby "Would you like to cut the cord, dad?"
"Yeah." Jack got up and Daniel temporally took his place
"How you doing, Sam?" Daniel asked
"Oh, just peachy, I'm about ready to go for a run," was her reply "I feel like I've been hit by a super powered staff weapon."
Daniel was about to reply when the baby was placed on Sam's chest and Jack took back his spot.
"Isn't she beautiful?" Jack asked
"She looks just like you," Cassie added
"For the birth certificate," asked a nurse "what's her name?"
"Grace Mackenzie Janet O'Neill," said the tired Colonel who didn't fail to see the smile on Cassie's face. The nurse took Gracie to clean her off and Dr. Brightman noticed an important fact
"Sam, your water broke again. It won't take long for this baby to come out."
Half an hour later Cassie found a large group standing outside the infirmary waiting to hear anything.
"The first baby is named Grace Mackenzie Janet O'Neill. She is 12 and a half inches and six pounds, three ounces. Her twin, Madison Aurora Rose O'Neill is 11 inches and six pounds, seven ounces. You will be able to see them later on" she announced "Pool collections will be in the commissary; see Sgt. Siler."
The group was satisfied with the information and went in various directions to do their tasks. General Hammond and Teal'c were left.
"Come on, Sam and Jack want to see you guys," Cassie told them before going back in.
Sam was holding one baby and Daniel was holding her twin. Sam spotted Teal'c and smiled "Do you want to hold her, Teal'c?"
"I would be honored, Colonel Carter," he replied and carefully took the small baby out of Sam's arms "What is her name?"
"Madison. Madison Aurora Rose O'Neill," Jack told the tall Jaffa "We're going to call her Maddie for short."
The baby looked so small in Teal'c's large arms "Indeed. What have you named your other child?"
Cassie was now holding Gracie "This is Gracie. Grace Mackenzie Janet," Cassie said, proud the baby had her mother's name.
"So," Jack started, looking at General Hammond "How long are you going to stay here for, Grandpa George?"
"A couple weeks," the adopted grandfather smiled "I'll take over things for you so you and Sam can spend time with your girls."
Later that day Sam had fallen asleep and Jack was holding his daughters in the dimly lit infirmary watching them sleep. He heard someone approaching and looked up to see President Hayes.
"Sir," Jack said, surprised
"Jack O'Neill. How are you doing?" he asked
Jack laughed quietly "It's not me you should be asking that."
"I guess not. I just came to see how all of you were doing," said Hayes
"We're fine, Sam crashed a few hours ago and rightfully so. The girls just fell asleep," he explained
"Congratulations, Jack. What did you name them?"
"This is Gracie," He said nodding to the baby on the left, then nodding to the baby on the right he said "and this is Maddie. Identical twins."
"If they're anything like you they'll be causing trouble in no time," noted the President
A few days later Sam and Jack were at home. They had just gotten the girls to sleep and climbed into bed themselves. Jack put his arm around Sam from behind, pulled her closer and kissed her neck.
"Now we just need a boy to name after your dad."
The end
I've been thinking about writing a sequel when the girls are about 2 and what happens when they go to work with mom and dad…
