Chapter 12
“Hi Daniel; doing some more research?”
“Hi Jacob, yes I am. Can I ask you something?”
“Sure, what is it” Jacob sat down across from Daniel.
“Do you know if anyone in your family had multiple births?”
“Yes, why?”
“What was it twins, triplets?”
“Both; do you remember the family up in Canada, in the 1920’s, where a young couple had quintuplets, girls?”
“Yea I remember; they made a movie of it few years ago.”
“Well if I remember correctly, Sam’s grandmother married the oldest son in that family and she had triplets, two boys and a girl and then five years later they had twins, one of each. I married the youngest daughter; so the answer is there is a history of multiple births in the family, mainly with the women, why?”
“Well, from what I have just finished translating, the Ancient lovers had multiple births themselves. They didn’t say how many but there was lots of kids.”
“Wow that is interesting.”
“Yes; just think about this, if Sam does become pregnant, the children will have both the Tok’ra protein marker and the Ancient gene.”
“Yea but there is one problem; we will have to keep them safe. If the System Lords found out about this, they will try to take the kids for their new hosts.”
“It wouldn’t work Jacob, their bodies would reject them.”
“What do you mean?”
“From what I have translated this morning, the reason is the red water. There must be something in it which causes the rejection of Goa’uld symbiotes.”
“But what about Egeria? Why didn’t she die from when she drank it?”
“When she was injured, they gave her some hot red water with herbs in it but it didn’t say what sort of herb they were.”
“Do you think it was the herb that helped her change and not kill her?”
“Yes, I think that is what it might have been.”
“That is why Ra killed almost everyone on this planet; because the young symbiotes were all rejected by the potential hosts?”
“Yes, but I think that a Tok’ra symbiote would not be rejected because of the protein it has, like positive and negative.”
“What do you mean?”
“Well, say Selmac is positive and Teal’c junior is a negative; if I drink some of the red water, I would become negative, so that means two negatives would reject one another.”
“What if you didn’t drink it?”
“I could remain either a positive or a negative, because I would be equal so it wouldn't matter which way I go.”
“I see; do you know if the water could help the young children on Chulak?”
“I don’t know Jacob, it might. I’ll talk to Sam about it in the morning and see what happens from there.”
“Ok, I’m going to turn in, good night Daniel.” Jacob stood up and started to leave.
“Good night Jacob, Selmac” and then he was gone.
Three weeks later Thor arrived on the planet. He put Jack and Sam into stasis pods so that he could try to remove the Ancient knowledge from them. He couldn’t remove all of it at once, only small amounts at a time. He would remain in orbit while he and other Asgard scientists were helped with the removal of the knowledge. It took them two months to remove all of it but they would still have the little pearl in their palms and its power for the rest of their lives. As soon as Thor opened Jack’s pod, he woke up.
“Greetings O’Neill.”
“Thor buddy, when did you arrive?” Jack asked, as he sat up from the pod.
“Sixty one days ago.”
“Wow”.
He then had a look around and he saw Sam lying in the other pod and then he remembered what he and Sam had to do so Jack walked over to her slowly.
”Oh my god, how is she Thor? What happened to her” Jack asked, when he noticed her large stomach.
“She is alive; I am going to wake her up now.”
Thor pressed a button and then the pod opened and Jack heard Sam moan.
“Sam, open your eyes.”
“Jack?” Sam said, half asleep.
“Yea, it’s me. Please open your eyes” then Sam opened her eyes and she blinked a few times.
“Jack, where are we?”
“On Thor’s ship. We have been in these pods for sixty one days.”
“Why that long?” Sam sat up and then lay down again; then she saw her stomach and her eyes widened.
“Sam, are you ok?”
“Just feeling a bit dizzy when I sat up; just give me a minute will you. What happened to me?”
“Thor, have you got an answer to this?” Jack pointed to Sam’s stomach.
“Major Carter is with child O’Neill. She is about twelve Earth weeks along.”
“What? That is imposable; I shouldn’t be this huge at three months. Thor, are you sure about this?”
“Yes, I am sure. You are carrying seven, as you call them babies, within you and they are healthy.”
“Seven? How can that be possible and who is the father? Do you know?”
“Major Carter, O’Neill is the father.”
“What?” they both said, at the same time
“I will be right back Major Carter, O’Neill. I will give you a moment alone” then Thor left them.
