"So George what can I do for you?" Jack asked.
"We'll get to that in a minute. How are you coping with Sam staying here?" Hammond inquired.
"She's being a pain in my six and she and my ex-wife have bonded. On the plus side my reports will be ready by the time I get back."
"Anything else you'd like to tell me Jack?"
"Not that I can think of George. Is there something going on I don't know about?"
"If there is nothing you would like to tell me then we'll leave that conversation alone for now. There are some other things we need to discuss about the base and the latest batch of recruits."

When Sam opened the door to Jack's house it was dark outside. It had taken nearly eleven hours to find the fault and rectify it, along with making the updates to the software she had needed to make and carrying out the tests she need to make to make sure the gate was functioning correctly.
"General." Sam said as she saw him sat on the couch watching a documentary on the Discovery channel, Jack was nowhere to be seen.
"Major. Did you manage to rectify the situation?"
"Yes sir, I'll have a full and comprehensive report for you in the next few days. When I left the gate was work at one hundred percent of optimum efficiency. But Colonel Davidson and I agreed we should take the gate off line again until your return."
"Good work Sam."
"Where's Colonel O'Neill sir?" She asked.
"I sent him to bed an hour ago. I need to get back to the base so I'll see you in a few days."
"Yes sir, have a nice evening and thank you for staying with the Colonel."
"My pleasure Sam." Sam saw the General out and locked the door. She slowly crept into Jack's room to check on him, she tentatively placed a hand on his forehead, his fever had almost gone. Without thinking she dropped a gentle kiss on his forehead where her hand had been.
"Goodnight sir." She whispered.
"You could get into trouble for that." Jack said without opening his eyes.
"I'd get into a lot more trouble for this." She placed a delicate kiss on his lips.
"Carter." Jack said as his eyes flew open. "Why did you.?"
"What sir? You're probably hallucinating due to your fever. Goodnight." She tried to walk away but Jack grabbed her wrist and tossed her onto the bed and pinned her down.
"Carter, talk now."
"Carter, S. Major. United States Air Force, serial number." She rattled off her serial number.
"Funny, something other than your name, rank and serial number." Sam thought for a second.
"O'Neill, J. Colonel. USAF serial number." She finished by adding his serial number.
"Carter, cut the crap. Why did you kiss me?"
"You call that a kiss sir, then you're seriously delusional." She managed to work a hand free and wrap it around his neck and bring his lips crashing down to hers. Jack was stunned for a second before melting into the kiss.
"Carter." He said as she broke the kiss.
"No excuse about your sidearm this time sir." Sam teased.
"Carter, I..."
"Sir, take a cold shower it will help with your fever among other things. I need to go back to my bed and sleep it's been a long day." She rolled him over onto his back.
"Carter we need to talk about this."
"Not at this time of night sir. I'll see you in the morning, goodnight." She climbed off the bed and went to her room leaving Jack very confused and unable to sleep.
"We'll get to that in a minute. How are you coping with Sam staying here?" Hammond inquired.
"She's being a pain in my six and she and my ex-wife have bonded. On the plus side my reports will be ready by the time I get back."
