Time: Between Seasons 8/9. Sam has been officially reassigned to Area 51, but is still at the SGC tying up a few loose ends.
Characters: Sam/Jack, Daniel
A/N: This is a revised version of my first chapter humming. Now that I am seven chapters in and a little (little being the keyword =) ) more experienced there were a few things I wanted to improve on. Thanks to Kelleth for the advice concerning the original version of this chapter. The main dialogue is mostly the same, but I reworked the PoV a bit. Also, thank you all who have reviewed so far. I love hearing what you think. Enjoy!
Humming
Sam smirked as she noticed an unusual sound coming from the direction of the handsome man standing beside her in the SGC's elevator. Brigadier General Jack O'Neill was staring into space with a goofy grin on his face and humming. She couldn't really blame him though. After the events of the previous evening Sam was a bit surprised she wasn't humming right along with him.
"Jack?" Daniel questioned giving Jack a slightly confused look. At this Sam had to stifle a giggle; apparently she wasn't the only one who had noticed Jack's odd behavior this morning.
"Daniel?" Jack responded.
"Why are you humming?"
"I wasn't humming."
"Were too!"
"Was not!"
"Were too!"
"Was not! I think I'd know if I was humming." He insisted glaring at Daniel. "Want to help me out here, Carter?" He asked as he turned towards Sam with a pleading look on his face.
"Actually, sir, you were humming." She replied doing her best to keep a straight face. Unfortunately the antics of the two men were making that task nearly impossible.
"Really?" Jack exclaimed with a bewildered look on his face.
"Yes, sir."
"Told you!" Daniel chimed in.
At this point Sam probably should have stayed out of it and let the boys be boys, but remembering a similar conversation from the previous year she couldn't resist having some fun.
"What's her name, sir?" Sam asked innocently. Jack made a choking sound and turned to her in disbelief. Sam was beginning to think he wasn't going to catch on to what she was up to, but after a few seconds he got a gleam in his eye and gave her a quick wink.
Feigning annoyance Jack whined, "Carter, what makes you think there's a…"
"Humming, sir."
"Ah."
When it appeared that Jack didn't plan to volunteer any more information than a grunt, Daniel's curiosity got the best of him and he walked right into Sam's trap. "Jack… You never answered Sam's question. What's her name?"
Jack paused just long enough for the elevator to reach its destination before grinning widely as he proudly announced, "Samantha, her name is Lt. Colonel Doctor Samantha Carter." He and Sam then exited the open elevator leaving a stunned Daniel in their wake.
Sam couldn't help but chuckle as she heard Daniel mutter, "It's about damn time!" while he hurried to catch up with them.
