A Frozen Surprise

Chapter 5

Jonas sat with Ayiana. He showed her a notebook, with a drawing of a Stargate. He pointed to the drawing. Hoping they would find common ground.

By this time Sam and Jack had made their way to the observatory room. Once Sam got arrived, a sudden bought of nausea came over again. She held on to the chair, to stop herself from vomiting.

"Carter" Jack quickly said as he saw her react.

"I'm ok...I'm ok" Sam said, breathing through it.

Once she felt a little better she took a seat, in front of the glass.

Ayiana looked up to see Sam sit.

"VITA" she said again, as she saw Sam. Sam just stared at her. She gave her a quick smile, hoping de-freezing this girl wasn't a mistake they would all regret.

Jonas looked up confused as ever. Why did she keep calling Sam, VITA? He had no clue. He put his book down, and made his way up to the Observatory room.

"Hey Sam" he said, "how are you feeling?" he quickly asked.

"I'm ok Jonas. Any progress with Ayiana" she quickly turned it to the subject at hand.

"Well.." Jonas could see Sam was hungry for answers.

"I show her a picture of you and she just keeps say........"

Before Jonas can finish his statement, Jack interrupted with "VITA".

"Yea...how'd you?" Jonas wondered how did they know that.

"Dr. Frasier filled us in" Jack said.

"Right..ok...what I can't figure out is, VITA in latin means life, but what does that have to do with Sam? I've been racking my brain...." Jonas kept on talking about how he was trying to figure out what Ayiana was trying to say.

Jack and Sam just looked at each other. They weren't sure what to say or do. Somehow Ayiana knew about the baby before anyone else did. With that Sam looked at Jack, and just nodded.

"Jonas...." Sam interrupted him, since he was still blabbing on and on wondering what Ayiana could possibly be saying.

"I think she means life because, well," Sam just didn't know how to say it.

"Let's just say" Jack interjected. "There are four of us in the room right now" He always knew how to confuse Jonas even more.

"ahh...Colonel..there are only three of us here, right now" Jonas was definitely confused.

"Nope...their four of here...trust me..." Jack gave him that all familiar grin he gave.

"I'm not following" Jonas was completely clueless. Jack looked at Sam, and then he quickly glanced down to her abdomen.

"Wait" a light bulb finally came on for Jonas. "Are you saying, Sam..are you?" Jonas couldn't bring himself to say it.

Sam just hung her head. Jack gave that facade of a smile, and sat down.

They both didn't say a word.

"That explains it...You got so sick in the lab, and then when I showed her your picture VITA is all she kept saying. But wait, did she know before you did? When did you find out?" Jonas was now filled with questions.

"Janet told us several hours ago" Sam said, softly.

"Wow, so....then..how" Jonas stated, but Jack interrupted with "exactly...I want to know how the hell she knew about Sam"

"Right..ok...Well this gives me something to work with" Jonas said, heading back into the lab.

"Jonas.." Sam said as she stood from her chair. " I think I need to go in there with you" she said.

"Carter?" Jack immediately said.

"Sir...we have to make sense of this. I'm not going to let her touch me. Especially now" she said. She paused. Suddenly the current state of her body, hitting her all at once.

She was fighting back tears. "Hey..." Jack said immediately coming to her.

"We are going to figure this out Sam." He said softly as he held her in his arms. Not caring who was around to see, although the only people there at that point were Jonas and Ayiana watching from the lab.

She nodded into his shoulder.

She leaned back as to get out of his hold. She didn't want others to see his affection towards her.

She nodded again, and headed in with Jonas. Jack was right behind her.

"Sir...I don't need a babysitter" she said. He knew Sam could handle herself, but he felt better if he could tag along.

He gave her that puppy face. As if to say "I know you got this, but I'd still like to tag along"

She gave him a small smile, as if to say o.k. and they all walked into the lab. Would Ayiana provide them with the answers they needed, or was she a threat to Sam?
