A/N: And here is the new chapter!!!! Yay!
After ten long hours, John and Dani Sheppard welcomed the newest members of their family into the world. Janet Samantha Sheppard came first and then two minutes later, her brother Carson Daniel Sheppard. They were both healthy as could be, and both parents were happy about that.
"Hey, how do you feel?" Dr. Daniel Jackson asked from the side of her bed.
"I just pushed two kids out of my body. How do you think I feel?" Dani asked looking at her friend.
"You seem well." Teal'c said to her.
"Yeah, well it takes a lot to take me out." Dani told them.
"Well isn't that the truth." John said as he came in with Janet and Carson.
"Hey." Dani said.
"Here is a question. Why name him Carson Daniel?" Rodney asked from the doorway.
"What would I have named him? Carson Meredith? No thanks. Plus, Daniel saved my life when I thought there was nothing left." Dani said with a smile as she held Carson while John put Janet into Teal'c's arms.
"Why does he get to hold her?" Rodney complained looking at Teal'c hold Janet.
"Rodney, I think you left your laptop open. I think one of your assistants said something about running a new program on it." Teyla told him as she noticed Dani looking agitated.
"Well, I will be back." Rodney said with a groan as he left the infirmary.
"Why Janet Samantha?" Ronon asked.
"Doctor Frasier's first name was Janet. She went off world to help one of our men and ended up getting hit by a staff blast. She died later on. I couldn't save her, so this way I can still honor her memory. And Samantha for her aunt and godmother." Dani said with a smile before kissing Carson's head.
"They are beautiful, just like their mother." A voice from the back said and Dani's head perked up at the sound of it.
"Jack?" Dani asked.
"Hey, kid." Jack said finally showing himself.
"Daniel said you couldn't make it." Dani said.
"Surprise?" Jack said with a smile as he put the flowers in his hand at the feet of her bed as he looked at Janet in Teal'c's arms.
"She looks like Sheppard. Dani's eyes and lips though." Jack told her.
"Thank you, sir." John said from where he was sitting next to his wife looking at their son.
"Where's Dean?" Jack asked.
"He's asleep in Major Lorne's care." John said as he watched Teal'c place Janet carefully into Daniel's arms.
"How long are you here for?" Dani asked Jack, Daniel and Teal'c.
"Well Daniel and Teal'c are on vacation time and I am going back in a week." Jack told her with a smile.
"It is about time you start using your leave Jack." Daniel said as Doctor Keller came back to check on her patients.
"Alright, I hate to break up the party, but Dani and the twins need to rest and eat. So…" Doctor Jennifer Keller said shooing everyone out so that they could do just that because John even noticed that Carson was getting grumpy in his mother's arms.
"I'll come and see you tomorrow, ok?" Colonel Carter said to her friend.
"I'd like that." Dani said with a tired smile.
"And I will relieve Major Lorne of Dean. I'll watch him while you settle into a new routine." Jack said leaving with Colonel Carter.
Teal'c handed Janet over to John who was content holding his daughter while the others silently left the infirmary's private room.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It had been three days and Dani was resting in her quarters after feeding and burping Carson and Janet before him. John was in a meeting with Colonel Carter and Major Lorne. Jack was in the mess with Dean and Daniel. Teal'c was mediating. He didn't have to, but he liked to.
"Hey." John said walking into the room.
"Hi." Dani said trying to stay awake.
"Did you feed them?" John asked sitting on the bed and taking off his boots.
"Yeah. They are both fed and burped. They are sleeping now." Dani said with a yawn.
"Go to sleep. I'm going to shower and then I will join you." John said kissing Dani's cheek.
"Before you doze off, who helped you last night?" John asked curiously.
"Jack had Dean. So Teal'c helped me. We talked about him and Ishta." Dani said looking at him.
"Who?" John asked not recognizing the name.
"You've never met her. She's a Jaafa." Dani said as her eyes closed.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dani smiled when she woke up. It was five months to the day that she gave birth to her twins. Dean was a great big brother. Always wanting to help. John was great. Ronon was helping often as well. Teyla helped her with exercising to her shape back. She was far from what she wanted but she was working on it. Sam often dropped by to see the kids. But that never surprised Dani; she knew Sam was great with kids. And when she had her own she would be a great mom.
"John?" Dani called as she put on her robe as she walked out of the bedroom.
"Hey, sleepy head." John called from the bathroom.
"Where are the kids?" Dani asked watching him brush his teeth.
"Dean is with Ronon and Teyla. The twins are sleeping still." John said after spitting into the sink.
"Why are you up so early? Are you going to the mainland?" Dani questioned him.
"You don't remember?" John asked surprised that she didn't know what today was.
"Remember what?" Dani asked confused.
"Remember what General O'Neill said the day after the twins were born?" John asked.
Flashback
Dani was sitting up in the bed in the infirmary with Jack. She was holding Janet while he held Carson.
"In five months, General Hammond is coming to visit you and your little ones. Be prepared. I warned you." Jack said with a smile as he continued looking at Carson.
"Do you think Janet would be proud?" Dani asked unsure as she looked at her daughter sleeping in her arms.
"Yeah, she would be. I am sure of it." Jack said.
"It should have been me, you know?" Dani said.
"No, it should not have been you! Otherwise you wouldn't have these three beautiful children to cherish, as you do." Jack said.
"Jack…" Dani started.
"You know I hate to admit it, but I was wrong, Dani." Jack said.
"About what?" Dani asked.
"Sheppard. He's good for you. And you are good for him." Jack told her with a smile.
End Flashback
"Hammond is coming." Dani said as she ran back to her room to get ready to see the man that she thought of as a second father to her, especially after hers died.
"I can't believe you forgot!" John said with a laugh following his wife.
"I had more important things to worry about. Like the twins and Dean! I cannot believe it has been five months already." Dani said as she dressed.
"Well it will be nice to have someone for you to talk to while my team and I are off world." John said.
"It will. Good Luck by the way." Dani told her husband looking into his eyes.
