A/N - I was in a writing mood and wrote two chapters
"So Jack? What happened? Is something going on?" Daniel said, a large grin gracing his face. He walked behind Jack and Teal'c as they made their way to the isolation room.
"Daniel, just shut it, okay?" Jack sighed, Daniel had been going on about it since they left his lab, and since he already knew what was going on, it just proved that he was trying to wind him up, obviously trying to get him to crack in front of Teal'c. God only knows what kind of things Teal'c could come up with to say in that not so subtle way, Teal'c knows a lot more than he shows, he should know from personal experience.
"Why Jack? Shouldn't you tell Teal'c?" Daniel said innocently.
Jack paused and turned around; pointing his finger at Daniel, his grin quickly disappearing at the sudden realisation that he may have pushed Jack too far. Jack opened his mouth to say something to him when Teal'c quickly budded in.
"Has something transpired O'Neill?" yeah, subtle.
"T, Danny-boy here is just trying wind me up, and he has been unsuccessful." Jack said casually, keeping the mood light.
"O'Neill, I believe you are incorrect, Daniel Jackson has indeed achieved the goal of..." He tilted his head at a sideways glance at the two as they walked to the door of the isolation room "...'winding you up'." A small smile appeared on his lips as Jack narrowed his eyes at him, his smile grew as he looked into the isolation room, Jack's gaze following.
They stood at the door, watching as Lieutenant Colonel Samantha Carter brushed the golden brown curly hair of the small girl as she sat in her lap. Jack's face broke into a warm smile as Sam looked up at him, aware of their presence at the door and smiled.
Combing her fingers through Isabella's golden locks she spoke softly. "Isabella"
Isabella looked around at Sam, swivelling in her lap that she had progressively climbed into. "Sammie?" she said, causing Jack to chuckle.
"There are a few people I want you to meet, they're friends of mine." Sam said as she pointed towards the door, Isabella's eyes following its direction, and landing on a tall grey-haired man with big dark brown eyes.
Jack looked at those big bright blue eyes he hadn't seen before, they looked almost as bright as Sam's when she smiled or laughed. "Fwiends?" he heard her ask as she looked back at Sam, she smiled down at the girl, her eyes smiling as well.
"Hey Carter, who've we got here?" Jack budded in before Sam could say a word to the girl.
"Cartwer? I fought you was Sammie?" Isabella asked, confused at the odd name exchange. She gripped onto Sam's hand with both of hers and looked up at her quizzically and confused.
"Sammie?" Jack smirked at Sam, trying to hide a chuckle.
Sam looked up at him, an accusing look on her face as she tried to hide a smile.
Daniel and Janet watched the exchange, and smiled at each other as Teal'c moved to the end of the bed protectively, like Janet had seen many times before when one of them was stuck in the infirmary.
"Ah...yeah, I am but..." Sam stuttered, she looked up Jack again unsure of what to say.
Janet who was standing next to Daniel signalled him with her eyes, and he knew what to do. "Ah, yes that is Sam...Sammie" Daniel rethought. "...and this is Jack." Daniel gestured to Jack with his hands. Pointing to himself and Teal'c he added "And I'm Daniel and this Teal'c."
"I think it would be best to stick to first names, it will be much easier and that means you two have to refer to each other by first names as well, Sir." Janet chimed in walking out from behind Jack and Teal'c to stand next to Daniel again; they shared a glance and a smile before looking back at Isabella.
"Okay Doc," Jack walked over slowly to the bed and sat on the edge near Sam's feet, he smiled at her glad that he could call her Sam whenever he wanted now. "So what's your name beauty?" he asked, smiling at the giggles he received from both girl and Sam and even Janet standing next to Daniel.
Isabella looked up at Sam for confirmation which warmed her heart at the thought of her asking her for permission. This did not go unmissed by Jack who saw her smile motherly down at the girl. "It's okay, I won't bite." He insisted, his lips curving at hearing Sam snort and suppress a round of giggles with her hand.
"Sorry." She choked out from behind her hand and through a round of giggles. Her mind went straight to the gutter or should she say closet as soon as he said he wouldn't bite. Images flooded her mind. Her breath hitched as his mouth went down further and further, her BDU jacket lying on the ground beside his. "It's alright Sam, I won't bite...hard." he chuckled, tickling her skin. He untucked her black BDU shirt, lifting the hem and sliding his hand up, bringing the shirt with it. His mouth caressed her exposed skin, nipping at it gently with his teeth as he brought the shirt over her head, and chucked it on the floor, exposing her non-standard lacy black bra...
Isabella looked back at Sam and cocked her head; Sam sent her a reassuring smile and rubbed her back, encouraging her to speak. "Iswabella" she said softly as she looked into Jack's Dark brown eyes.
"It's a very beautiful name." Jack said as he tugged on a golden curl resting on her forehead, she giggled and he brushed it out of her gorgeous eyes.
"Dack" She said with delight, climbing slightly out of Sam's lap and reaching for Jack's hair, tugging at the short strands, copying his actions while the other occupants of the room laughed quietly. Sam's hands went instinctively to either side of Isabella's waist holding her as she traced the lines in Jacks face. She thought it was cute.
"Close enough." Jack shrugged as Sam laughed, an inside joked between the two of them.
Isabella yawned and sat back down in Sam's lap, Sam balancing her as she did so. "Are you tired honey." she asked as Janet ushered Daniel and Teal'c out of the room, telling them to come back later. Isabella shook her head as she leaned against Sam, her head lying against Sam's chest "No" she said sleepily, her eyes fluttering close and abruptly open.
"A toddler's favourite word" Jack whispered loud enough for only Sam to hear.
Sam smiled at him, but decided to try again anyway, if only to amuse her. "Are you sure you're not tired, you look pretty sleepy to me."
"No"
They looked down at the sleepy girl as she closed her eyes; she snuggled up to Sam's chest, her fists grabbing a handful of shirt and her face buried. "Doesn't look like you're going anywhere anytime soon" he said, patted her leg, smiled, brushed a few of the girl's locks behind her ear and stood. He walked over to the door and turned around, he watched for a few moments as Sam combed the girl's hair with her fingers and laid back, Janet making the bed prop up and comfortable for Sam. He smiled as Sam looked up at him, the glow in her face radiating as she grinned at him. She looked back down at Isabella and resumed combing her hair with her fingers, Jack turned on his heels and headed to the control room, determined to find out if Isabella had parents that were alive or not.
