Let it Snow! [TR for Carter]

[has_2ls]

It was no real secret that Jack was excited about having a baby and it was also no big secret that Sam was...less than excited. Still, he'd always been able to make the best of a bad situation and he and Sam had seemed a lot better that she'd had some time to think about and get used to the idea of being pregnant. He hoped, anyway. Besides, soon they were going to be married and he didn't think it'd be a good idea to start a marriage off on bad terms.

Figuring it was high time he got his ass into gear and spent the last few days as a single man wooing his fiancee, Jack woke up early and jogged up to the Compound. He usually got coffee for both of them but with the pregnancy, Sam couldn't have the caffeine, so he improvised and used a little chocolate from the storeroom to make them both cocoa. He tasted it, before walking back, and it was everything he'd dreamed of on a cold winter morning. Minus, of course, faking a cold so he didn't have to go to school.

He tried to come back inside quietly and put the cocoa down on a little table before taking off his parka and gloves. That done, he settled on the edge of the bed, nudging lightly at the Carter-shaped lump in his bed.

"Wake up, Sunshine. Big day ahead."

Sam shook her head and burrowed deeper under the covers. "Sleepy," she murmured. Early pregnancy had made her tired, and now that morning sickness had kicked in, made her reluctant to jump out of bed like she normally would.
