SUMMARY: Well, this is my second story. I did a bit of research on Thanksgiving before I did this story. It is about a friend of Sam's who was able to get both Jack and Sam to open up to one another about their true feelings for one another. It is also about friendship, love and caring about one another and their friends and family when they all get together to celebrate Thanksgiving with one another.

FEED BACK: Yes please.
It was a week before Thanksgiving and Sg1 was off world for five days.
"Sir, what are you doing for Thanksgiving this year?" Sam asked Jack.
"I don't know what I am doing on that day, Carter. Why do you ask?"
"It's just that Dad will be there for Thanksgiving and the weekend. Mark and his family, Janet, Cassie, Daniel, Teal'c, General Hammond and his family are also coming for dinner. That is why I am asking, if you would like to join us" Sam said to him.
"I don't know Carter. I will have to think about it."
"Ok sir. Just in case you do come, you can bring beer," she said with a smile.
"Who is bringing what for that day?" he asked her.
"Well, General Hammond and his family are bringing some of the desserts and some wine for dinner. Janet & Cassie are bringing roast potatoes, candied sweet potatoes, and pumpkin pies."
"Yum" Jack said to her.
"Daniel & Teal'c are going to bring some beer, wine and soft drinks for Teal'c and the kids. But we know how much beer they will bring." Jack laughed.
The last time that Janet, Cassie, Hammond and his family joined SG1for a barbecue, Daniel and Teal'c only brought about a dozen bottles of beer.
"Teal'c is going to make cheese cakes while on the base. General Hammond gave him the ok to cook in the kitchen." She said to him.
"Ok, what about your side Carter" He asked her.
"Dad won't make it to the base until 0100 that morning, so he won't have a chance to do any shopping because all the shops will be closed."
"Ok, that is understandable. He is a busy man," he said smiling at her.
"Mark and his family won't be arriving until the day before Thanksgiving. They will be staying with me for the long weekend. They will be bringing a couple of turkeys with them," She said to him
"What, only two? You know that Teal'c can eat one on his own," he told her.
She started laughing.
"I know that sir. Ah sir, if you do want to come, would you like to go halves with me in buying another turkey?" she asked.
'God, I hope he says yes, please say yes' she thought to herself.
"What about you? What are you providing for the day?" he asked.
"Well sir, if we do go halves on the turkey, there will be peas, corn, carrots and cranberry sauce. I'll also be trying out a new recipe for desert"
"Oh, are you experimenting again Carter" making her laugh again.
"Ah, no sir. When I was a teenager I had a pen pal from overseas. We have been writing to one another for years. Now that we are both on the net, we e-mail one another. Some times we talk on line."
"Cool, where is she from and what is her name?" Jack asked.
"Her name is Annie and she is from New Zealand"
"Wow that far away? What does she do?" he asked curiously.
"She lives on a dairy farm with her husband, they do milking there"
"Ah yes, the country life" He said to her.
"Any way, she e-mailed me a great recipe that I am looking forward to trying out. She also gave me some tips on how to make it"
"What is the name of the recipe?"
"Pavlova" She said,
"What the hell is Pavlova,"
"Well, from what Annie has told me, it is crispy on the outside and a sweet marshmallow on the inside. She also said that I could add food colouring to it if I wanted different colours. She also said that I can put cream on top with chocolate flakes or put fresh fruit on top of it." She said to him.
"Mmm, Carter what are you trying to do to me?"
"What do you mean sir?" she looked at him, puzzled.
"I mean, you are making my mouth water when you describe the dessert"
She started to smile at him. "Well, did it work sir" she looked into his brown eyes.
"Ok, Carter you win, I will come but can I taste test before the others?" she started giggling
"Carter, what did I say about the giggling" he looked into her blue eyes.
'Gee Sam, you know where one of my weak spots is. She knows I love sweet things' he thought to him self.
"Sorry sir, I'll make a small one just for you. What would you like on top of it?"
Sam was looking at him, waiting for his answer. He hadn't caught everything that she had said.
"Carter, are you trying to make a pass at me?" Sam looked at him, puzzled.
"Sir, what are you talking about?"
"You said something about being on top?" He asked her with raised eyebrows and a grin on his face.
"Sir, what I said was, what would you like on the top of it?"
Then he paused for a moment, looking into her blue eyes.
"Oh, what I want on top of the Pavlova! You mean the cream?"
"Yes sir. What would you like on it?"
"What do you think Carter?" he asked, with a cheeky grin.
"Chocolate" She said
"Mmm, Yum. I am looking forward to next week now. I can hardly wait."
and he flicked his eyebrows at her, knowing it would make her laugh.
