A/N
Hi everyone :-) thanks as usual for the reviews.
Just a reminder that this is a sequel to 'That's Colonel to You' and so I have written this with all the assumptions and events of that fic still in mind :-) most notably that Jack has a fiancé (that isn't Sam)

Sam smiled as she looked at him, wanting nothing more than to strip down and get back into the bed with him, but unfortunately she had to work the next three days. She paused, unable to recall the last time she actually wanted to take time off. She fought the urge to lean over and kiss him goodbye not wanting to wake him.

"Good morning Samantha," the dark haired woman greeted too cheerfully as she walked through the door of Sam's lab.
Sam didn't have the energy to raise her head from her hand so she merely tilted it sideways to look up at her visitor. "What can I do for you Vala?"
Vala smiled. "Oh it's not what you can do for me, but what I can do for you," she replied placing a large mug on the bench between them. "Daniel thought you might need this," she said indicating the cup filled with Daniels specially brewed coffee.
"Oh thank god!" Sam exclaimed as she reached for the mug.
Vala lent her elbows on the bench and swayed her rear end, mischievous eyes trained on the other woman.
Sam ignored her for as long as she could, but she was nowhere near as adept at it as Daniel seemed to be. "What is it?" she asked finally.
Vala smiled. "Daniel said you'd need this but he wouldn't tell me why," she explained. "He said I should ask you...so I am...asking you. Why you need the super strength brew..."
Sam sighed, mentally stabbing Daniel with her pencil. "I just didn't get much sleep last night," she replied.
"Oh yes poor thing," Vala replied, a frown on her face. "You do look exhausted." Then she grinned. "What's his name? And when am I going to meet him?"
Sam turned puzzled eyes on her, but knew she really shouldn't be surprised that she'd figured it out. The other woman's life revolved around money and men. "His name is Jon," she admitted. "And you will not be meeting him..."
After a few minutes of complaining Vala left and Sam, with the help of the joy of caffeine, was able to get some work done. That lasted for about half an hour.
"Samantha Carter!" Vala exclaimed as she entered the lab. "You dirty old lady! I'm extremely proud of you!"
Sam cradled her head in her hands knowing that once Vala returned to Daniel telling him she knew about Jon, he wouldn't have been able to help but fill in all the details.
"Twenty four years old!" she enthused. "Yummy!"
"Vala..."
"And how old are you now? Like fifty?"
Sam glared at her. "I'm forty two! Just!"
The other woman waved a hand at her. "Close enough," she remarked as she leant in closer. "Is he good in bed?"
Sam shook her head, the woman had no boundaries. "I'm not answering that..."
Vala smiled. "Well of course he is silly me, otherwise you wouldn't look like...that this morning."
Sam frowned. "Look like what?" she asked warily.
"Exhausted...but extremely pleased about it..."
Sam tried to look affronted, but she really couldn't argue with it.
"So please can I come home with you tonight and meet him?"
Sam's eyes widened at the thought of unleashing Vala on a poor unsuspecting Jon. The guy wouldn't stand a chance...
"Absolutely not!"
Vala pouted and plonked herself down on a stool. Then she brightened again. "Well can you bring him to work with you tomorrow...like...oooh! Wait...Daniel told me about this...oh that's it! Show and tell!"
Sam sighed, rolled her eyes and shook her head all at the same time. Vala just had that effect on people. She didn't know about bringing Jon for 'show and tell', but she thought he'd probably like to see how the SGC had changed over the last eight years, so she decided she'd ask General Landry if his security clearance was still valid.
"Sam?" Vala questioned.
"I'll see what I can do," Sam replied and watched as Vala jumped up off the stool and bounced around the room clapping her hands together somewhat maniacally.
"Oooh goody! Boys!" she cheered. Then she moved over and gave Sam a hug. "I love it when we can bond over girly stuff," she said earnestly. "You're usually such a...guy..."
Sam blinked as cyclone Vala exited as fast as she'd appeared.
