Sam had been in her office working on paperwork for the SGC when the Gate came to life. Getting up, she walked out in the Control Room and looked over at Chuck.
"I'm getting Colonel Lorne's IDC," Chuck said.
Nodding, Sam reached up and touched the earpiece of her headset while letting out a sigh of relief. She'd been a bit worried when they had missed the check in the night before and hadn't been able to raise them but had decided to give them until morning since they were with the Lykaios. "Colonel Lorne, this is Colonel Jackson, is everything all right?"
"Fine. There was a storm last night, so we had to take cover until this morning. Sorry about that," Lorne told her.
"That's okay. Just glad it wasn't anything more serious."
"Doctor Williams, Kyri Selune and I are coming through now."
"Understood."
She returned to her office and sat back down. Just as she started on her paperwork again, she sensed her husband coming into Operations and looked up, giving him a smile as he entered her office. When he asked about getting a treat for helping Jack, she felt herself throb and took a deep breath.
"What? You don't get enough satisfaction out of helping the city where you live?" she responded as she got up and crossed over to the couch.
At first she leaned down to kiss him but when she felt pressure on her bladder from the baby, she shifted to sit down beside him instead. Reaching up, she cupped her hand to his cheek and leaned over to kiss him. Of course, as soon as she did, she felt herself starting to warm and shuddered a bit.
"If you're going to collect on your treat, we should probably go elsewhere," she said softly.
