A Stargate Christmas
Chapter 1
Jack walked into his living room to find Teal'c putting baubles on his Christmas tree. Despite the many Christmas's Teal'c had shared with the rest of the team the sight was amusing enough that Jack had to hold back a laugh. On the other side of him Sam and Daniel were attaching various other decorations to the walls and ceiling.
He couldn't believe it was Christmas day and they were only now decorating his house. They had all been kept so busy that none of them had had chance to prepare for Christmas. Until yesterday they had all been off world with Janet helping a civilisation that was being wiped out by a virus. They hadn't even got off base until late last night. Teal'c had spent the night at Jack's house so he wouldn't have to drive all the way here. Jack rolled his eyes as he saw Sam pull some mistletoe out of a bag and run over to Daniel excitedly. Daniel lifted her up so she could hang it on the ceiling as Jack moved to help Teal'c with the tree.
"Something is missing" Jack said to Teal'c as he picked up a bauble.
"To what do you refer O'Neill"
"I don't know, but it's been bugging me all morning"
"It is only 9AM"
"And we've been up since 6 o clock"
"Sam will you just hook it on" They heard Daniel exclaim and they both looked around to see Daniel struggling to hold Sam steady as she laughed.
"I'm trying" Sam said as her laughing prevented her from hooking the mistletoe up. Sam finally managed to hook the mistletoe and threw her arms in the air in triumph. Daniel lost the precarious balance he had and the two of them fell to the floor.
"Oh that hurt" Sam said as she laid on the floor. Daniel had already stood up and offered her his hand. Sam just laughed at herself as she accepted. "That was my fault, right?"
"Yeah" Daniel said smiling as he pulled her to her feat.
The two of them were about to go back to putting the decorations up when Teal'c spoke up. "Daniel Jackson, Major Carter, you are standing under the mistletoe"
Daniel and Sam looked up at the mistletoe simultaneously and then at each other "So we are" Daniel said as he pulled Sam to him and innocently kissed her on the lips. They both laughed as Jack walked up to them smiling. "That's lovely Daniel now do you mind giving me my fiancée back?"
"Jack are you jealous?" Sam asked him barely holding back her giggles.
"Of course I am" Jack said and was about to continue with his mock complaints when Sam kissed him passionately "Now I feel better"
"Hey" they heard Janet's voice from the doorway. She had had to go to base that morning to drop off her report from the planet they had returned from yesterday. She had insisted on going alone despite the number of offers to go with her she had had. She had refused saying she would be on base all of 20 minutes and would meet everyone here. Cassie had gone on a college ski trip for Christmas with her friends and they could all tell how much Janet was missing her.
"Hey Janet" Jack said "You just missed your husband lip locking with my fiancée"
"Really?" Janet asked playfully having noted what they were all standing under.
"Oh yeah" Jack said he went back into the kitchen to continue cooking Christmas dinner. Janet had promised to help him when she finally got there and Jack was grateful, there was a lot of work involved in making Christmas dinner for six people. It had become something of a tradition now though, the six of them, usually plus Cassie, always got together on Christmas day. Jack and Janet always cooked Christmas dinner together since they were the only good cooks.
Janet walked over to Daniel who wrapped his arms around her and kissed her "Hey"
"Hey"
"Everything go okay?"
"Yeah, no problems"
"Janet" They heard Jack shout from the kitchen "Get your butt in here"
"Gotta go" Janet said before quickly kissing Daniel and heading for the kitchen.
Sam suddenly burst out laughing drawing Daniels attention to her. He then looked in the direction she was looking at burst out laughing to. Teal'c had somehow managed to get himself tangled up in the Christmas tree lights.
"Teal'c how the hell did you manage that?" Daniel asked once he had succeeded in gaining enough self control to go and help him.
Sam was right behind him "Daniel wait" Daniel was about to turn to her when there was a flash of light and Daniel could see the camera she was holding "Oh that ones getting framed"
Daniel and Sam both moved to help an unamused looking Jaffa disentangle himself from the wires.
"Oh come on Teal'c you have to admit it's a little funny" Sam said.
"I do not"
Janet was chopping carrots in the kitchen whilst Jack pealed the potatoes. They both looked up as they heard Sam and Daniel burst out laughing.
"What do you suppose that's about?" Janet asked.
"I don't know, don't worry if its that funny Sam will get pictures"
"Come to think of it, I still have the ones from Daniel's bachelor party" Jack said with a mischievous look on his face.
"Don't you even think about it Jack or then next time you have a physical I'll be getting out the really big needles" Janet said playfully and watched as Jack winced at the thought.
"I don't know what you're talking about Jan, I wasn't thinking anything" Jack said in mock defence.
"I'm sure you weren't"
"That's it!" Jack shouted triumphantly and walked out of the kitchen.
"What?" Janet asked as she followed Jack through to the living room where Daniel was helping Teal'c with the Christmas tree lights. Sam was rummaging through the bag of decorations looking for more stuff to put on the walls.
"I knew something was missing" Janet laughed as Jack made his way over to the CD player and put his Christmas CD on. "Now it feels like Christmas"
