It's Super Bowl Time!
By: Dee
Jack looked over at his team member. "Pretzels?"
"Check." Daniel answered, surveying the table at Jack's house.
"Potato chips, bar-b-que and sour cream?"
"Check and check."
"Dip, french onion and cheddar?"
"Check."
"Hot wings?"
"Check."
"Breadsticks with marinara sauce?"
"Check and check."
Jack grinned. It seemed his Super Bowl party would have enough food. "And we've got plenty of beer and pop."
Daniel smiled. He didn't care much for football, and almost didn't come, until he heard that Janet was coming. "When is everyone arriving?" He asked, taking the beer Jack offered him.
"Anytime now." Just as he said it, there was a knock on the door. Jack opened the door and gave Sam a wide smile. "Thanks for coming Carter."
Sam smiled, then handed Jack her specialty, the Carter Family Taco Casserole. "It needs to be warmed up." Jack led the way to the kitchen. "Daniel, can you help Pete? He's bringing in some 2 liters."
Jack stopped dead in his tracks and Sam bumped into him. "You brought Pete?"
Sam nodded, trying to not drop the ice cream she was carrying. "Yeah. Is that ok?"
Jack smiled to hide the fact that it was not ok. "Yeah, sure." He put the casserole in the oven at the temperature Sam said, then handed her a beer. When Pete walked into the kitchen, followed by Daniel, Jack felt his blood go cold. He hated that man. "Pete, glad you could come."
"Wouldn't miss it for the world!" Pete beamed.
Daniel laid the drinks out on the table and looked at Jack. Their eyes met and Jack rolled his eyes. Daniel nodded. Yeah, he hated Pete too.
Janet walked in, not having bothered to knock. "I brought the pigs in a blankets." She announced. Daniel immediately jumped to help her carry the tray and she gave him a grateful look. "Thanks."
Daniel just smiled at her as he laid the hot dog treats on the table. "I hope you all like chocolate cake." Cassie said, walking into the kitchen. She handed Jack the cake, who looked at it with lust.
Janet and Cassie made themselves a drink and walked into the living room. Janet came back a moment later, presumably to ask Jack if he had anything to spike her drink with. "Pete's here?"
Jack sighed. "Yeah."
Janet gave him her best 'I hear ya, I don't like him either' look before adding some Amaretto to her coke.
Jack stayed in the kitchen "preparing" for a few minutes. Daniel had left him so he could talk with Janet earlier. "Sir?" Sam asked from the doorway to Jack's kitchen.
Jack looked up from his cake. "Uh?" He asked, his mouth full of the chocolate goodness.
Sam smiled. He really did love cake. "Why aren't you joining us?"
After swallowing his cake Jack grinned at her. "I wanted to eat my cake in peace. Just me, the cake, and beer."
Sam grinned again. "Where's Teal'c?" The doorbell rang before Sam could finish saying Teal'c's name. "Nevermind."
She followed Jack to the door and he opened it to see a large Jaffa carrying a crock-pot with flowery oven mitts on. "I was told to bring chili." He announced.
"Did you go out and buy that stuff this morning?"
Teal'c nodded. Jack showed him where to plug the crock-pot in. "I have not tasted it."
Jack reached in his cabinet and pulled out three bowls. "Let's get to it then." He dished out several spoonfuls of chili to Teal'c, Sam, and himself. "It smells good T."
Sam, feeling brave and proud of her Jaffa team member, took the first bite. It tasted good the first moment her tongue touched the soup. After that, things went differently.
