1. The Harcesis
A rare accidental pregnancy amongst the Goa'uld, Qetesh choose not to take the herbs that would remedy the situation. She had a plan for the child; a perfect little spy, loyal only to her. All she had to do was keep herself and the nanobots hidden away, as Amonet had. The planets she ruled were out of the question, as was her host's home planet. So she rigged the chappa'ai to take her to a planet far out of the way, well beyond the reach of the System Lords.
Qetesh had little control over her host during this time, but no matter. Vala did not know how to return home. She had not, however, counted on the strange, pale man with the glowing staff or Vala begging him for help.
The last thing Qetesh felt was her host speaking the words of her savior. Hallowed are the Ori.
2. Emily Mitchell
The condom broke. The words that changed Samantha Carter and Cameron Mitchell's lives forever.
They were just lieutenants. He was shipping out to Iraq/Kuwait; she was returning. Neither really wanted to be alone that night, but that's all it was supposed to be- one night. He was still deployed when he got word he was going to be a father. He stepped up, just like his parents had taught him to, and asked her to marry him. Sam, the good girl, said yes.
They're happy, he supposes, although there are times that disappointment breaks through the smiling mask she wears. He knows she wants the stars, dreamed of being an astronaut, but she's stuck in some office in a secret research facility (he's not supposed to know it's Area 51, but he does), while he's flying F-16s out of Nellis. Not exactly the life either of them had planned.
He wouldn't change a minute of it and he knows neither would Sam, Emily is their life, but looking at the clear night sky, even he has to wonder what he missing out on.
3. Hyr'ta
Teal'c was told by the healers after Rya'c's birth that Drey'auc would not be able to have another child. So, they were quite surprised when those same healers told them a year later that she was with child again. The birth was difficult and the healers were unsure if the sickly infant girl would survive. The girl was a fighter and Teal'c insisted she be named for the legendary Jaffa woman who had fought to the death with invading Jaffa to protect her home and children.
After his defection to the Tau'ri and his family's relocation to the Land of Light, he worried for his daughter most of all. By their mother's death, Rya'c was already heading towards the rebellion, training to be a warrior just as he would have on Chulak. But the rebel camps had few women. Perhaps he had spent too long with the equality-conscious Tau'ri, Teal'c did not want his daughter to be servant for other Jaffa, with no purpose of her own.
It shouldn't have been a surprise that Hyr'ta found her place amongst the Hak'tyl. And a not-so-small bit of Teal'c was proud that his daughter was strong and determined and capable. However, a lot of him was scared that his daughter was heading out into the galaxy on her own, without one of the men in her life protecting her.
That feeling remains unspoken. He doesn't wish for Hyr'ta or Samantha Carter to do his testicles harm.
4. Jenny O'Neill
Jack wishes he could stop, but he still sees his loss reflected in Jenny. He hides it, of course. He loves his little girl and never wants her to know the truth. He and Sara weren't planning on having more kids, not after Charlie died. It was just a drunken accident, the one time in those months that he wanted to feel something. Their marriage was pretty much over by the time Sara found out she was pregnant. It didn't help Jack's mental state any, either. A complete failure as a parent, he went to Abydos to kill himself.
He tried to work things out when he returned, but Sara wasn't interested. She'd had enough and he couldn't blame her.
Six months after Jennifer Skarra O'Neill was born, Jack was recalled to duty. He returned to Abydos and led the following mission to Chulak to rescue Skarra and Sha're, but declined to lead SG-1. He wanted Skarra back, but he was going to be around for this kid, not off god-knows-where. He coaches her soccer team in the summer and her hockey team in the winter, takes her to dinner on Wednesdays, and has her all day Sunday.
And because he can still see Charlie when he looks in her eyes, there's no gun in his house.
5. Katie Schulte
Becky Schulte had been around the block a few times by the time she ended up in the same group home as Daniel Jackson. She had a quick wit he enjoyed and she was one of the few who didn't seem intimidated by his intelligence. They were both outcasts, the geek and the school mattress. He didn't care what people said about her, she was his friend and she really listened when he talked about Egypt. She never talked about her family and he'd been in foster care long enough to know it probably wasn't good. When he was accepted into UCLA and became emancipated, she was aging out. They didn't bother with the plaintive "keep in touch", neither intended to look back.
He though she was joking at first, when she said she wasn't sending him to California a virgin. He probably shouldn't have done it, but she persuaded him. He was sixteen and didn't exactly have a lot of offers on the table. The thought of a condom never entered his mind.
It was the name that caught Daniel's attention, in a stack of files. Jack wanted more soldiers in Atlantis and they were short on translators. Simple solution - Marine linguists. Jack had told Daniel to go through the files and make sure they were all up to snuff. He wasn't expecting their full service records.
He wasn't expecting to find Becky's name in one file or his underneath it. When he looked at the attached picture, he really wasn't expecting to see his own eyes looking back.
And she was going to Atlantis.
