Spoilers: Beachhead

Disclosure: I don't own stargate and with my mind I don't think anyone would want me to.

Genre: Humor/Romance


"We need Colonel Carter here at the SGC" said Landry into the phone to General O'Neill.

"I don't think you do" said Jack. He was smiling into the phone. It's not that often you can get a two star General to beg.

"Jack"

"Nope"

"Jack!"

"Nooooo" he drawled out slowly.

"Jack, she practically invented the mark nine and you're the one who thinks we should use the damn thing."

"Yup, but the answer is still no."

"Why are you wasting valuable time saying no?"

"Because I can" He was enjoying this a little too much.

"I've read enough of your SG1 mission reports, to know that there were times when no-one else BUT Samantha Carter could have pulled your ass out of the fire. Well this is one of those ti..." General Landry stopped as a familiar figure appeared at his door.

"Reporting as ordered sir" said Colonel Carter.

"Wow Hank…you sound like a stunning blonde just came into your office" said Jack. The timing couldn't have been better.

"Yeah… She's standing right here."

"Really? Well, I didn't see that one coming. Did you?" Jack was finding it difficult not to laugh into the phone. He just wished he could see the General's face.

"You're a funny man, Jack. Very funny."

"I like to think so"

"Is that General O'Neill sir?" Sam asked.

"Yes it is Colonel."

"Would you mind telling him that I made it here safely. He asked me to call once I arrived."

General Landry spoke into the phone, "Now that you have played your little joke, I need to get back to work. Goodbye Jack."

"Hey wait…wait. Put Carter on the phone."

Hank sighed, but passed the phone onto Colonel Carter. "He insists on talking to you."

"Carter" she said into the phone.

"Hey Sam. How was your flight?"

"It was fine sir. Thank you for asking."

"Do you know how long you will be there?"

"No sir, as you know, I just arrived."

"Right" after a few second pause, "Now do you know?"

"No sir."

Jack knew that all of the well placed sir's were for General Landry's benefit. "So…What are you wearing?" He was trying to make her blush in front of Hank.

"The same thing as earlier" she strategically answered the question without giving away her embarrassment.

"Then what are you wearing under your dress blues. You were dressed before I got up this morning."

Sam tried to think of a reply that wouldn't reveal the type of conversation she was having with General O'Neill. "Nothing…sir."

Jack swallowed hard and then asked, "Are you sure this isn't a chance of you coming back tonight?"

"Yes sir, I'm sure"

"Alright then, phone sex it is."

It was Sam's turn to swallow hard. "I really should get to work sir." She barely managed to keep the blush from her face.

"Is Hank still there?" he asked. He knew he was, but he asked anyway.

"Yes sir."

"That's ok. I don't mind an audience." Jack was on a role today. He annoyed General Landry and now was embarrassing Sam in front of her new CO.

"I'm sure you don't sir, but I think the world needs saving right now."

"Fine, we'll continue this conversation later. Bye Sam" he paused before saying "Love you"

Sam wanted to say it back, but wouldn't in present company. "Ditto"

Sam handed the phone back to General Landry and said "General O'Neill is sorry for hiding the fact that I was coming."

"Jack's apologizing?" he asked incredulously.

"Not really, I'm apologizing for him." She replied.

"Thought so, he enjoyed that way too much. So Colonel Carter, let's go save the world."


So what did you think? This story just popped in my head and wouldn't go away.
