The next morning Sam was
making breakfast when Cassie wandered in.
“Hungry?” Sam asked.
Cassie smiled. “Are you
kidding? I’m always hungry!” She told her and sat down at the counter. Sam
smiled slightly and turned back to the eggs. “Why aren’t you at work?”
“I took a few days off.”
“Oh.” She paused. “I suppose you want to know the story.” Cassie
sighed. “The father is my boyfriend. We have been going out for a year.” She
looked at Sam as the food was set in front of
her and Sam took a seat next to her. She picked
up her fork but didn’t take a bite. “I was four months along when I found out.
He-he proposed to me and I agreed.” She pulled a ring out. It was simple, with
a tiny stone. “It’s not real but… I should probably now tell you that his
parents are…very, very traditional.
They do not believe in…per-marital sex much less per-marital pregnancy. I was
too far along to hide it and when they found out…they forbid him from ever
seeing me again.” She brushed away some tears that had escaped and didn’t look
at Sam. “I don’t understand! This is their
Grandchild and Michael and I love each other so
much!”
Sam put her arm around her.
“Sometimes rules don’t make any sense.” She told her. She knew that firsthand.
Cassie looked at her. “I’m
sorry to just show up and dump this on you but I’m due in a few weeks and I
couldn’t go through this alone.”
“It’s ok. I just wish you had told me sooner.”
“I know. But I was afraid that you would be mad at me and
not want to have anything to do with me.”
“Cassandra Fraiser! Have I ever given you reason to think that? No! You are like my daughter.
I might be a little disappointed that you were not more careful but…I love you!
I would never turn my back on you!”
Cassie nodded. “I know.” She
paused and took a bite of eggs. Making a horrible face she set her fork down.
“But what about Jack and Daniel
and Teal’c? What will they think of me?”
“They will think that you are a very smart young woman who
made a mistake. Then they will continue to love you and your child.”
“Mom would be so angry with me.”
“Only because you didn’t listen to her.” She got up and
grabbed their still full plates. “You feel like going out? We need to get you
some clothes and stop somewhere for food. There’s a lot of snow but I think we
can manage it.”
“Alright. Sam? Thank you.”
Sam pulled her into a hug.
“You’re family and I don’t turn my back on family Cass.”
