She had been watching his hands on her belly, but her gaze quickly meets his with his last sentence. For a moment she simply stares at him, her eyes wide as she processes what he’s said. It was one thing to commit to a relationship with someone with a child, but it was an entirely different story to offer responsibility for their child as well. 

“Jack… are you sure?” she asks, her hand moving to cup his cheek. Her thumb caresses his cheek as she watches him, wondering how on earth she had gotten so lucky to have him in her life.

“I wouldn’t say it if I didn’t mean it.” He knows why she’s surprised - hell, he’s a little surprised that he’s actually said it - but it’s something he’s thought about for a long time now; he would’ve offered it even if his feelings had been one-sided. Janet is so, so important to him and has been for so long that he can’t imagine being a part of this next stage of her life and as he stares at her, one hand on her belly and the other still on her cheek, he wants nothing more than to be a family with this incredible woman and her child.

“You don’t have to say anything right now,” he says, unsure of her reaction. “I get it if you need time to think but I wanted you to know that the offer’s there.” He smiles at her and leans in for another kiss, finding it impossible to keep himself from kissing her as much as he can now that he knows she returns his feelings. “I love you.”

She can’t help but laugh when he does- his laugh has always been infectious, and it’s apparent that he’s just as relieved at this revelation as she is. 

“It would be very hard for a gal like me not to love a guy like you,” she replies, smiling before tilting her head to kiss him again, chuckling as they both feel her daughter kick. “She’s always approved of you. She moves a lot when she hears your voice,” 

[colonelxoneill]

Knowing that she loves him too lifts a heavy weight Jack wasn’t aware he’d been hauling around; now that their mutual feelings are out in the open, he studies her face in a way he hadn’t allowed himself to in the past for fear of making her uncomfortable. He loves the way her eyes crinkle at the corners as she smiles, how her lips tip up into a grin so easily, how her hair frames her face so perfectly. When he’s able to pull his attention away from her face, he smiles down at the place his hand is resting.

“Good to know I have the Little Miss seal of approval,” he teases, letting his fingers trail over the swell of her belly to greet the child within. When he looks back up at her, though, his face is serious. “I want her to be mine, Janet. If that’s something you’d be okay with, I want to have Little Miss know me as Daddy.”

[docjanetfraiser-archive-blog]

“No,” she murmurs back before his lips meet hers again. Her hand moves to cup the back of his neck, gently holding him close as she kisses him back. Her initial moment of dread is replaced by a whirlwind of emotions, most centered around the fact that Jack was kissing her back. 

After a moment she pulls back, only enough to lean her forehead against his. They’re silent for a moment before she speaks again. “I’m not exactly sure when it happened,” she starts, her fingers playing with the short hairs at the base of his neck, “But somewhere along the way I fell in love with you.”

[colonelxoneill]

The laughter that erupts from him is borderline hysterical as he listens to her tell him that she loves him. “That’s a relief,” he manages when he’s gotten his hysteria under control. This is such a typical Janet thing to do, catch him off-guard with a kiss and an almost word-for-word recitation of what he was just thinking.

“I don’t know how you do it,” he muses, his thumb still moving as he closes his eyes and savors the feeling of their closeness. “I was standing there in the doorway and realized that I’ve fallen in love with my best friend and it never crossed my mind that a gal like you could ever love a guy like me.” He feels a nudge against the hand he has on her belly and the feeling makes him laugh. “Little Miss seems to approve.”

[docjanetfraiser-archive-blog]

She can’t help but giggle at his enthusiasm, chewing on the corner of her bottom lip as she watches him. His hands on her belly are soft and gentle, and when he looks up at her, there’s a measuredness there that she’s not sure how to read. When he looks back down at her belly, she resists the urge to run her fingers into his hair.

“Jack,” she says softly to get his attention. When he looks up, she gently hooks her finger under his chin and lifts his face up as she leans down slightly to press her lips to his. It’s a soft, lingering kiss, and part of her wants to deepen it, but instead she pulls back with a soft nervous huff. “I, um… sorry.”

[colonelxoneill]

He’s so caught off-guard by the kiss that he doesn’t respond immediately; he stares up at Janet in complete and utter shock, his mind racing at the fact that Janet just kissed him. When he can process the fact that his best friend just kissed him, Jack tilts his head and narrows his eyes slightly.

“Are you really sorry?” he asks, keeping one hand on her belly as he lifts the other to touch her face lightly. Pushing up so he’s kneeling level with her, Jack lets his thumb stroke her cheek and his eyes search hers before he leans in and kisses Janet.

[docjanetfraiser-archive-blog]

She can feel eyes on her, and she smiles as she looks up to see Jack leaning in the doorway to the nursery they had set up in his home. Extending a hand, she beckons him in with a soft “She’s kicking!” She motions for him to sit down next to the chair, and once he’s settled she takes his hands and places them on her belly where her daughter had been kicking. 

“Wait for it…” she whispers, her hands giving his fingers a little squeeze, giggling softly when she feels the baby kick right where she had placed his hands. 

[colonelxoneill]

The thought of refusing doesn’t even occur to him and he moves quickly to sit next to her on the floor, his eyes bouncing between Janet’s face and her belly. He’s fascinated by the idea of being able to feel a tiny human being moving around in her mother’s belly and as he feels the first nudge against his hands, a grin splits his face and he looks up at Janet in awe.

“She’s strong,” he says as he starts to laugh. “Just like her mother, yeah?” He takes a moment to stare up at her face for a long moment and then he focuses on her belly again, trying to track the baby’s position by the location of each kick against his hands.

“Aww hell, not another snakehead. Whatdya want?”

[vxlamaldoran]

“I’m not entirely sure – but once I find out how to cull the truly pervasive boredom… you’ll be my first call,” she said, offering him a sly smile.

[colonelxoneill]

“Or how ‘bout you entertain me now?” Jack doesn’t want to beg but he’s been bored for hours and Carter is busy with some crazy new doodad from PX-whatever and Vala’s fun as hell. “C’mon Vala, have mercy on an old man and help me out here, yeah?”

“What’s a guy gotta do to get some excitement around here?!”

[colonelxoneill]

;; Like for a thing?

“Just get in there,” she says, barely able to keep from rolling her eyes as she ushers her into her office.

[colonelxoneill]

“I feel like there’s something here I’m missing,” she grumps while obediently following the petite woman into her office. When she steps into the small room, however, Jack can’t help but frown and cross her arms; it’s been a very stressful day and she’s more than a little on edge. “So what exactly is this special cure you have for my problem, Doc?”

[docjanetfraiser-archive-blog]

“Do you want want me to help you out or not, Jack?”

[colonelxoneill]

“Uh, yes! What does it entail? Is there a needle involved because I don’t think I can handle getting a shot in my six when I’ve been through so much already today.”

[docjanetfraiser-archive-blog]

“Why don’t we step into my office for a moment Colonel?”

[colonelxoneill]

“What, you have another magic tablet that’ll oh-so-helpfully reverse this tucked away in your office?”

[docjanetfraiser-archive-blog]

“Did Sam really not tell you how this… misfortune can be reverse?”

[colonelxoneill]

“Do I look like I know how to reverse this accident?”

“Carter was too busy laughing at me to be bothered to tell me how to fix this.”

[docjanetfraiser-archive-blog]

“I don’t know why you’re so eager to change back. I’m quite enjoying this.”

[colonelxoneill]

“I’m so glad you’re having fun with my misfortune. I see how it is, no sympathy for me when something bad happens, right? What the hell am I supposed to do with myself?!”

[docjanetfraiser-archive-blog]

“You know what the doohickey does, so why were you touching it if you didn’t want to deal with the consequences?”

“For what it’s worth, you’re a very sexy woman.”

[colonelxoneill]

“It looked like every other piece of junk Carter leaves lying around so how the hell was I supposed to know what it was and that it would do this?”

“I feel like you’re enjoying this too much, Doc. Just tell me how to fix this so I can go back to being good ol’ me.”

[docjanetfraiser-archive-blog]

“Well, it appears that you might have brought this on yourself, Colonel.”

[colonelxoneill]

“You know better than to leave a doohickey where I can touch it! Look at me - I’m a woman!”
