Chapter 6 - Barbecue
The barbecue had been going for 2 hours. Hammond, Jacob and Tom were going on about how the airforce used to be when they were young officers. Louise was teaching Murrey (Teal'c) how to cross-stitch, Janet and Sam were as normal giggling like little school girls and Jack and Danny kept an eye on the barbecue whilst sipping cool sweet beer.
Sam walked over to Jack.
"Jack, baby i need a word"
"Not now sweetheart. Were just about to have a game of football"
"But Ja..."
Daniel chucked the ball
"Jack! go long"
Jack ran back
"SCORE!!"
Sam walked in the house and slammed her hand frustrated on the kitchen side.
"Sam?"
Sam looked back
"Oh, Hey Janet"
Janet walked over to her.
"Something always comes up when i go to tell him"
Janet smiled
"Well, you know guys and their football. It's even enough to drag Danny from his rocks"
Sam smiled and hugged Janet.
"Maybe i should marry you instead"
"Im sure Jack and Daniel would have something to say about that"
"Why would Daniel have....Oh My God! how long?"
Janet smiled a bigger smile
"about a month"
"and it's only now you tell me?"
"you and Jack kept it a secret from us for 2 months"
Sam opened her mouth
"That was purely because of military regulations. Daniel's a civilian"
Janet held her hands up
"we just wanted to sneak around for a bit."
Sam squeezed her friend
"Im so happy for you"
Janet squeezed her friend even tighter back
"thank you"
"This can't be good for the baby"
"your probably right"
Janet and Sam backed out of their hug and laughed.
(IN THE GARDEN)
"You cheated"
"Oh come on Dad, it's only a game. So you old guys lost! big deal"
"Jack don't speak to your dad and his friends like that"
Jack bowed his head
"Yes mum"
Daniel sniggered under his breath. Jack looked at him.
"Jack no! JACK! NO!"
"TACKLE"
Jack ran at Daniel and pulled him to the ground.
"Owwwww"
Janet and Sam walked back into the garden.
"Uhhh...Jack?"
"Mmmmm?"
"Are you burgers meant to be black?"
Jack got up and ran
"Shit"
He picked the burgers up bare handed trying to save them
"Owww hot hot hot"
He chucked a burger to Daniel
"Oww, Jack this burger's hot"
Teal'c walked over and picked all of them up and placed them on a plate. Louise looked amazed.
"That was incredible Mr.Murray"
Jack and Daniel looked at each other
"Trust big guy being able to do it"
"Yeah show off"
(1 HOUR LATER)
Everyone was sat around the garden table eating some food. Sam looked at Daniel.
"So Daniel, how's the love life?"
Janet dropped her fork and looked at Sam.
"Ummmm..."
"Sam, don't poke into Daniel's private life"
"Im just interested Janet"
Jack looked at Teal'c, he was eyeing the atmosphere between Daniel, Janet and Sam very carefully.
"Janet's right Sam. Don't pry in Danny's love life. He doesn't want to reveal his one true love is a rock"
Jack smiled at Daniel.
"Actually Jack...I have a girlfriend"
Jack looked shock
"You do?"
"Yes"
Janet's little voice butted in
"You do?"
Daniel made direct eye-contact with her
"Yes i do and she's beautiful, intelligent and has the best sense of humour"
Janet looked lovingly into his eyes, everyone except Sam didn't notice what was going on.
"She is?"
Daniel nodded
"She is"
Daniel got up and walked dover to Janet and gave her a passionate kiss. Hammond thumped his fist on the table.
"How many other relationships are going on in my base that i don't know about? Teal'c are you gonna tell me about your secret affair with Walter?"
"Ofcourse no. general Hammond"
Hammond nodded
"Thank you."
"Cause if i did, it would then not be a secret"
Everyone looked at Tealc.
Jack stood on his chair
"Ok, since it's the night for announcing things..ive got something to say"
Everyone now focused on Jack.
"Umm Jack you've had quite a bit to drink...be careful you don't fall off the chair"
"Ssshhh Daniel...you've had your moment"
Jack looked at his mum and dad
"Mum and Dad the reason i was ok with you coming down this week is because i want you to get to know you beautiful amazing"
Jack then looked at Sam
"..Perfect future daughter-in-law"
Tom and Louise looked at Sam. General Hammond and Teal'c wiped tears from their eyes.
"God that was beautiful"
"Uh-huh"
Jacob put an arm around his daughter as they were both close to tears.
