House is a medical drama set in New Jersey starring Hugh Laurie as an anti-social genius of a doctor, with a Vicodin addiction paralleling Sherlock Holmes' addiction to Cocaine. Stateside, it's on Fox; Britside it's on Five, Five US and Hallmark. It's not something to be missed – Laurie is hysterical and there is a lot of solid, thoroughly researched medical knowledge weaved in. There are some pretty amazing episode guides for it on Wikipedia if you want to read up.

Sam smiled slightly as she stirred the contents of a big bowl with a wooden spoon as James, his blonde hair a little darker than before, stood on a chair near her in the kitchen, saying, his cerulean eyes catching the light,

"Please Mommy… can I taste it? Please?"

Her smile grew even wider on seeing the younger Jackson pouting like his father, turning a puppy dog look on her. She cocked her head as she looked at him, replying, an eyebrow rising briefly as her smile remained,

"James, if you eat it now, there won't be any left for the cookies."

The little boy pleaded with her as she resumed stirring. "But Mommy… if I don't taste it and it's yucky, your cookies are gonna taste yucky…" When she looked at him challengingly, he added with a sweet smile, "Your cookies are never yucky."

"Did you finish reading the Greek Daddy left you?"

He shook his head and replied, pouting again, "Yeah. I wanted to read Sumerian with Cammie but she's at Francis' house."

Noticing the pout and sensing him feeling blue, she said as she stopped stirring once again, "James, you could have gone with Daddy and Uncle Jack, or Uncle Cam if you'd asked. You said you wanted to draw the Pantheon."

He shook his head, tears in his eyes as he looked ready to stamp his foot, replied, "But I didn't know I was gonna finish early!"

He began to cry and she, her chest hurting a little on seeing him upset, wiped her hands and picked him up off the chair, sitting down with him on her lap. She asked as she held him close, running her fingers through his soft hair as he sniffled against her shoulder,

"Junior, come on, aren't you having fun with Mommy?" She looked down at him with a little smile, kissing his cheek, "I'll let you have some cookie dough if you dry your eyes and help me spoon the cookies out onto the sheet."

He nodded, sniffing, and eventually smiled. Smiling at him, she dried his eyes and lifted him up as she stood, remarking as he began to giggle, rubbing his nose with hers affectionately, "Oh! You're getting too heavy for Mommy now. Maybe I shouldn't let you have any cookie dough."

He pouted again, saying in protest as she set him down on the chair again, "But you have to!"

She picked up the spoon again. "Why?"

"'cos you promised!"

"Uh-uh, young man, I didn't say the p-word."

He grinned at her and said, "You're silly."

She held the bowl, remarking with a raised eyebrow, "Well… if I'm silly, my cookie dough might be icky and you don't like icky cookies, do you?"

"Ok, ok! You're not silly! Can I have some cookie dough?"

He then took to staring at her, his eyes wide and she rolled her eyes, muttering under her breath, "Jackson through-and-through…"

She remarked, tickling his stomach as he giggled, "Just like with Daddy, I can't say no those eyes and you know it, don't you?"

She ruffled his hair and said, helping him down from the chair, "Come on, Junior, you've got to wash your hands. You know, I'm going to miss you and your sister when you start school next month."

As she helped him wash his hands, he said, excited, "I can't wait. Daddy said school's amazing."

She smiled slightly, replying as she looked down at him, "It is. You like learning new things… and they do that at school. And drawing too."

He beamed as she helped him dry his hands, and she said, ruffling his hair again, "Come on, sweetie, we've still got the chocolate cornflake crispies to make."

Cam walked through the front door of the Carter-Jackson residence, holding an ebullient Francis over his shoulder, and holding Cammie's hand as he said, seeing Sam, "Hey, guess what your Junior did."

Sam, dreading something she hadn't even thought of yet, asked, looking a little scared as Francis beamed at her, "What was it this time?"

Cammie held her mother around her knees and said, her voice muffled, "Uncle Cam said I'm not allowed to climb trees."

As Sam smoothed the little girl's head, James hugging a now doubly amused Cam's legs and grinning up at him, Cam remarked with a half serious glare as Cammie looked up at him, "That wasn't all and you know it."

Sam hid a smile as Cammie whined sullenly, "It's not my fault."

"It's not your fault that you used your slingshot on our neighbour's cat?!"

Sam looked at Cam in disbelief and then kneeled, saying to Cammie, sternly, "Cameron, what have I told you about using slingshots?! And on cats too… what happened to the little girl who felt sorry for Sylvester? Hand it over."

As an amused Cam set Francis down, noticing the smell of cookies and chocolate and launching a reconnaissance mission on the kitchen, Sam held her hand out and raised an eyebrow at the little girl when she pouted. When the boys followed Cam, James excitedly talking a mile a minute, Cammie reluctantly put a catapult in her mother's outstretched hand. Sam, inwardly intrigued at its handmade construction, said,

"And the peashooter."

"But Mom!"

"Cameron!"

Cammie's shoulders slumped in defeat and she reached into the front pocket of her dungarees, pulling out a peashooter. Sam sighed, and remarked, tidying up the little girl's bunches,

"I don't mind you climbing trees but harming animals and people is something you shouldn't do."

"He started it!"

Confused, Sam asked, "Who?"

"Sprinkles. He tried to hurt Francis."

Sam sighed again and said, taking her hand and stowing the confiscated weapons away, "I think Daddy needs a word with you. Come on, let's get some cookies before Uncle… "

She blinked in surprise, amused on seeing Cam, Francis and James all turn 'rabbit-in-car-headlights' looks on her, each one of them in the process of eating cookies and chocolate crispies, crumbs and chocolate around their mouths. She quickly took a photo of the sight before exclaiming, gently hitting Cam's hand,

"Mitchell!"

Cam, still eating a cookie, remarked, feigning innocence, "What? There were cookies and crispies… and no sign or force field."

As she helped Cammie to wash her hands, Sam said, "Well, at least leave some for the others…" She glanced around the kitchen as she dried Cammie's hands, "Hey, where's Vala?"

Cam replied, cheekily taking another cookie and handing some to James, Francis and Cammie, "Oh… she's gone baby shopping with Carolyn. I'd've gone, but it's not just one pregnant woman… it's two."

Sam shook her head slightly, smiling as she put some cookies and crispies on a big plate, leading the children into the lounge as she remarked, "The great Colonel Mitchell, who's seen a lot, to deliberately understate things considering present company, is scared of pregnant women?"

She said as Cammie and James sat on the couch with Francis, carefully placing the plate on the older children's knees as Cam handed cups of juice to the children, "Careful with that, ok? And make sure Francis chews properly."

Cammie and James nodded, and Cam replied as the General stood up, joining him in the kitchen as he fiddled with the coffeemaker, "Well… they get all emotional and… ok, I am scared. It's nice she's got some pregnant company though."

Sam remarked, reaching into a cupboard for some mugs, "They'll bring home Bloomingdale's between them…"

"I think you'll find Vala's exceptionally frugal when she wants to be."

"When she wants to be."

He glared at her for a moment and then asked, "So… how's things?"

She replied with a shrug, "They're ok… the new CMO's starting at the end of this week. He's one of the best diagnosticians in the country."

"Have you met him yet?"

She shook her head and replied, "Just got some references from the hospital that he works at… Princeton Plainsboro Teaching Hospital in New Jersey. He's a character, I'll give you that, but he gets results."

He remarked sceptically, "When you say character…"

She smiled slightly. "He's got an attitude problem. His former boss said that she had to set aside half of his department's budget for legal cases involving him."

He frowned in confusion. "And we're getting him… why?"

"Because he's a legend."

"A legend for being sued the most or…?"

"He's a medical genius. In our work, we need that… people who can very easily think outside of their comfort zone."

"Right…"

She shrugged as he poured out the coffee. "You can be there when he comes. They wouldn't have kept him at Princeton Plainsboro if he was bad at his job."

"Alright… you're the General…"

Later on, as Sam set the table for dinner for seventeen with Cam's help, Daniel and Jack came home with the youngest three of the Carter-Jackson brood. Sam and Cam smiled as Jack did a deadpan impression of Homer Simpson, sniffing the air appreciatively,

"Mmm… cookies…"

Sam and Daniel kissed, Sam asking silently as she kneeled to hug her youngest children, 'How was the zoo?'

'Great… It didn't feel too weird not talking to you constantly.'

'Hmm, I know… maybe because there's no doubt anymore.'

'Or we just wanted to be remotely normal… huh, normal… right…'

She smiled and asked as Grace clung onto her, "Did you enjoy your day out with Uncle Jack?"

As Jack, with Cam and Daniel's help, located the cookies and the chocolate crispies, including the batches that she'd hidden having expected a O'Neill-Mitchell-Jackson collaborative attack on the bakery items, Grace replied in a breathless whisper,

"We saw'd lions and tigers and…"

Jack said from behind Sam, him and Daniel chewing cookies and sporting twin looks of innocence, "Don't forget bears, Gracie."

As Sam smiled in amusement at her former CO's ability to hear the quietest of things, she smoothed Claire and Jake's cheeks as they talked excitedly over each other, showing her what Jack had got them from the gift shop. Sam, dismayed, said as she stood up, holding Grace in her arms,

"Jack, you'll spoil them."

Jack looked at Daniel and remarked, both of them moving onto the crispies, "Your wife… she hasn't figured out that I ignore her most of the time, has she?"

Daniel smirked innocently at Sam who raised an eyebrow at him, and Sam said, looking at Jack, Cam and Daniel as she gave the twins some cookies, helping Grace eat a crispie, "Seeing as we're waiting for Sara, Jonas… Teal'c, Carolyn, Vala, and Cassie…"

'Where's Vala?'

'Baby shopping with Carolyn.'

'Ah…'

"… you can have…"

'And Teal'c and Jonas?'

'The SGC.'

'Right.'

"… a few but don't go nuts, boys."

Jack grumbled as he snatched another cookie, "Boys?? I used to be General O'Neill…"

Sam smiled and went back to laying the table with Cam's help, and Daniel, finishing off his cookie, joined in as he asked, "Where are Cammie and James?"

Sam chuckled as Cam replied, "Well… Calamity is out climbing trees and shooting cats again… and Jimmy Osmond's teaching Francis how to take rubbings."

As Jack smirked, Daniel asked, surprised, "Shooting cats?! Didn't we take her slingshot and peashooter away?"

Sam remarked, exhaling, "She made them again. Damn stubborn Jackson. Speaking of which… James got teary about being home alone with Daddy-slash-Mommy."

Daniel, concerned, raised a hand to stop Jack making a crude remark, and he said, "He wanted to draw."

"Oh yeah. He finished that and his Greek. He was alright afterwards though – he helped me make the cookies, crispies and…" She raised an eyebrow at Jack and smiled, "… pies."

Cam looked surprised and a stunned Jack, remarking, "Pies?! Pies?! Why didn't…" He looked at Cam accusingly, the Colonel shrugging, and Sam replied with a shrug as Grace played with her hair,

"I didn't make General by not being prepared for at least most situations."

As Daniel and Cam watched the exchange like a tennis match, smirking all the while, Jack shot back, "You could have done it by ear like me."

"Right. Anywho…"

Sam was interrupted by the sound of her mobile ringing in her pocket, and she answered it as Cam picked Claire up and slipping out to get the other children from outside, "Jackson." She glanced at Daniel and Jack, the latter picking Jake up. "Cassie?! Um… sure, yeah, you know me, hopeless with food quantities. Great… no, we're still waiting for about six more… Great! I'll see you later, ok?"

Daniel smiled as Sam, grinning, disconnected, putting the phone back in her pocket, and he remarked as he smoothed her cheek, having heard the conversation in his head, "So much for five years."

She leaned into his touch, gazing at him as she replied, "Give the girl credit – it's four."

Jack, watching them with jaded interest, remarked wearily, "Come on, the suspense is killing me here. I'm not Daniel… if I die, I stay dead… although there was one time…"

Sam and Daniel, the latter's arm around the former's waist, replied in unison before grinning at each other, "Cassie's bringing a plus one."

Jack frowned slightly and then asked, gesturing with a hand, "Oh… blond, about yea high, helping Uncle Mitchellfiddle with his car on your wedding day?"

Daniel looked amused as Sam replied, amused too, "Yep. It sounds like her and Simon are back on."

"Well… if she's serious, really serious, it means I've got to get him clearance."

Daniel remarked with a shrug, "Either that or she's going to be not telling him the whole truth."

Jack made a noncommittal gesture and then asked, bouncing a dribbling Jake in his hold, "So… pies?"

A little later, with eighteen people in total around the kitchen table, the kitchen bustling with various conversations; and squeals, shouts and laughter from the children, Daniel asked silently, Grace is in his lap as he ate, all the while talking to Jack and Teal'c,

'I don't know why we don't use the dining room. We have a perfectly good one.'

'There's something nice about dining together in the kitchen… like a family. At least I moved the dining table here earlier. Can you imagine everyone fitting around the kitchen table?'

'We've done it before.'

'Those were funny times.'

She looked around the table at a pregnant Vala and an equally pregnant Carolyn, her eyes eventually falling on Cassie sat next to her fair-haired plus one, her on-off boyfriend, Simon Brookes. Sam smiled, still talking to Sara.

'Daniel, look at those two!'

She glanced at Daniel, seeing his little smile as he caught her eye. 'I know. They seem a little more… I don't know… mature than before. They're definitely in love though.'

'Maybe he feels like he's at her parents' house.'

'Oh… Janet would have embarrassed him rotten but she would have loved him.'

'Definitely. Oh, Daniel… do you remember when we were so young and… well, just like that?'

'Um… no, seeing as we only got together when we were forty-two.'

She nonchalantly stamped on her own foot and smiled as she blocked out the pain at her end, noticing Daniel trying very hard not to react as the Jacks, Teal'c, Cam and Jonas smirked.
