Chapter 11Daniel awoke with a massive hangover, to find himself curled up with the petite doctor. He squinted and pinched the bridge of his nose, trying to remember exactly how he got here. "Jack is right, if I do keep this up I'll have a girl on every planet" he muttered to himself as the memories from the previous night came flooding back.
Janet heard Daniel muttering and snuggled towards the noise. Daniel couldn't believe that he was with Janet, and that it took their three best friends to get them drunk and set them up for him to make a move – nonetheless he was more than pleased at the result, and took Janet in his arms and fell back into the land of slumber.
When they awoke hours later, slightly less hungover, Daniel gazed into Janet's brown eyes and softly whispered "hey" as he kissed her gently on the lips. Janet smiled warmly at him and whispered "hey yourself." Janet got out of her bed and put on her robe, and at the worried look on Daniel's face, chuckled and said "coffee", Daniel just nodded, threw on his jeans, and followed Janet into the kitchen.
Daniel sat uncomfortably at the breakfast bar in Janet's kitchen, not knowing what to say. "Jan, I-I-I hope you don't think this was just a drunken fling… I mean I like you and respect you far too much for that. I hadn't intended it to go this way…" He trailed off, and Janet, struggling to concentrate due to the half naked archaeologist in her kitchen, finally heard the words he said and began to be worried that he was regretting last night, took a deep breath and was about to answer when Daniel continued "Let me get this out, Jan, I've liked you for some time, and by the way that this barbecue of Jack's went, everyone else knew it. I guess I was uncertain as to how you felt. I just didn't quite know how to ask you out, much less work up the nerve to do so." After a small pause, "And then of course, there's Cassie, she too, had to approve of something between us, something she made abundantly clear, Friday night." At Janet's confused look, he sighed and said "Basically, Janet, would you like to go to dinner with me sometime?" The smile that Janet wore at the very tentative, almost whispered question, told Daniel all he needed to know, but Janet confirmed his suspicions by walking over to him and giving him a passionate kiss and muttering "adorable"
Cassie came home from her friend's house to see Janet in her bathrobe, on tiptoes kissing a half naked, dishevelled looking Daniel. She cleared her throat, letting her presence be known before a smug look came on her face and she innocently asked "Have a good night?" Janet blushed, and Daniel more so, seeing as he was half naked, and quickly said hi to Cassie before practically running into Janet's bedroom to get his shirt. Janet tried to get control back of the situation and asked "What are you doing home so early, Cass, did something happen?" Cassie rolled her eyes and replied even more smugly "Actually Mum, I'm about an hour, late, seeing as you didn't come to pick me up from Pam's and you weren't answering your phone, I had Pam's mum drop me home, its 1600, Mum." Cassie grabbed a cup of coffee and headed up to her room, she so didn't want to be around the "happy" couple.
Daniel walked back into the kitchen and stuttered "Well it's late, maybe I better-" "You could stay, if, if you want to that is" Janet finished shyly, not daring to meet Daniel's eyes, the confidant woman, gone leaving a very uncertain Janet in her place. Daniel smiled and said "Well Teal'c does have my car, maybe you could give me a lift into the mountain in the morning?"

Jack woke up, snuggled into a cute Astrophysicist, with her short blonde hair tickling his nose. He just stared at her, like he did when they shared a tent offworld, studying her features, when he heard her breathing change he kissed her softly on the lips and huskily whispered "Morning, sleep well?" Sam turned over in his arms, so that she could look up at him and smiled "Yeasureyoubetcha". They lay together for a while before caffeine called and the need for that magnificent substance drove all else from their minds. As Sam brewed the coffee, Jack came up behind her and snaked his arms around her waist, kissing her neck. She leaned back into his chest and tilted her neck to allow him better access.
They spent the day together, watching movies; Sam was not at all surprised to see him put on The Wizard of Oz, and when he said that he had never seen Star Wars, they drove down to the video store and grabbed a copy of the trilogy, before settling back in at Jack's house. Jack dropped Sam off at her house that night, and as she lay in her bed, missing the warmth of Jack's body, she picked up her phone and called his cell. Jack was lying in bed, and hearing his phone, rolled over and smiled at what the caller I.D. showed him. They talked until Sam fell asleep, and with a certain astrophysicist on his mind; slumber, too, claimed Jack.

The base grapevine had new material the following morning; rumour had it that Dr. Jackson and Dr. Fraser arrived together that morning. New betting pools were started, and Sam and Jack were glad at the change of attention.
After changing into his BDU's, Daniel went straight to General Hammond's office to talk about the Sam/Jack situation. When Daniel walked into his office, Hammond assumed it would be to talk about the rumours concerning Dr. Fraser and himself, but by the way Daniel was shifting in his seat, he figured it was something more serious. "What can I do for you, Dr. Jackson?" Daniel gulped and said, "Uh can we talk off the record here, General, it's kind of personal?"
Hammond sat up straighter in his chair and said "Granted, what seems to be the problem Dr. Jackson?"
Daniel took a deep breath "Hypothetically, if two officers in the same chain of command were in love with each other, and did not let it affect their work, would there be some way around the regs?"
General Hammond smiled and said "Let me guess, these hypothetical officers have saved the world numerous times?"
Daniel smiled at the General and thought "There's no flies on this man", before continuing, "hypothetically yes, is there some way we could call in a favour?"
Hammond sat thoughtfully for a second and set "Leave it with, me and I'll see what I can do, in the meantime get a hold of Thor, I have the feeling that he will needed with this." Daniel nodded and stood up when General Hammond barked, "There is another matter which I wanted to discuss with you Dr. Jackson." Hammond waited until Daniel was once again seated before he continued, "There are rumours going around the base about you and Dr. Fraser, is there any substance to them?" Daniel took a deep breath and then answered nervously "Yes General, there are, I asked Dr. Fraser out for a date and she accepted, as for arriving on the base together, Teal'c had my car and she offered me a lift. If you are worried it will affect either of our work, you needn't be, we are both professionals. Is that all General?" Hammond smiled at the boldness with which Daniel finished and said "I think that's all, Dr. Jackson, I'll let you know how it goes with the other matter." Hammond shook his head at the antics of his flagship team and went back to his mountain of paperwork.
