Summary: Sam and Jack go to Sam's family get together. Jack doesn't trust one of Sam's siblings.
A/N: This is my first fanfic. Please R&R. More to come if you review...and yes it will get better.
Sam set her keys on the counter, hung up her jacket, and started getting dinner ready. She was starting her first of two weeks downtime, spent away from base by a direct order of Colonel O'Neill. As her T.V. dinner was cooking in the microwave, she hit the play button on her answering machine. 6 new messages. The first 2 were telemarketers. The 3rd was Jack, reminding her of her temporary restraining order from the base, and f she snuck in, she'd know about it. The 4th made her stop. It was her brother Mark. 'The family' was getting together up in Canada, and she was expected to be there. It was this week. The 5th message was Jack, once again reminding her of her restraining order, and asking her what she was going to do with her down time. The 6th was from Janet, asking her if she could borrow a necklace for a party she was going to. What a social life that woman had.
After Sam finished her dinner, Sam called the base, and asked for them to contact her dad through the tok'ra about the family get together. Next she called Jack.
"O'Neill." He answered.
"Hey sir. You asked what I was going to do with my week right. I think--"
"You are not going back to the base. Understood?"
"That's not what I was going to say!"
"Was too!"
"Was not! Anyways, you're distracting me. Stop. Can I borrow a pair of skis?
"You do realize that outside the grass is green, right?"
"Yes I do. But my family is getting together in Canada, and I'm expected to go."
Jack considered this. He had 2 pairs of downhill skis, and 3 pairs of cross country skis, all
in his basement.
"Yea Carter, I have some skis you can borrow. How are you planning to get there? Your car is in the shop."
Sam took a deep breath. "Can I, um, borrow, um, your truck?"
"Let me get this straight....Major Samantha Carter, USAF, with who knows how many degrees, just said the word 'um'?"
"Yes I did. You say it all the time after all..."
"What's that suppose to mean?
"Oh nothing...So can I borrow your truck?"
"Only if I'm driving it!"
"Do you want to come?"
Jack considered this. He had no plans. Teal'c was off world with Rya'c, Daniel was trying to figure out the meaning of life with SG-9, and he had no plans....
"Sure why not. When are we leaving?"
Sam was relieved. She didn't have to worry about Jack pushing buttons in the control room and breaking something. Life was good.
