Carolyn was enjoying the scenery, while traveling to the lake. She had a last minute rendezvous in the gateroom, and suggested to her guest to come along. At first the guest did not want to intrude, but Dr. Lam made a good case about fresh air and getting away from everyone and everything. Dr. Lam would spend a few days and her guest already had clothing and personal items packed for a stay at SGC. Carolyn was enjoying the company and really anticipating seeing one handsome smile from one Cameron Mitchell. She doesn't remember how he became so infatuated with her. He walked into her infirmary or rather limped in, bleeding, battered, dirty, and he couldn't stop smiling at her, even thru the pain and grimacing.

At first she thought it was annoying, since most men saw her as a conquest or repellant, since she was the base commander's daughter, and he happened to be a powerful Genera, who was very respected and intimidating when he wanted to be. But she found that SG1 constantly was being checked into the infirmary for some scrape or another, and Cam Mitchell seemed to be the first one to bee line himself to her ministrations. But she didn't mind, he kinda grew on her in time, and she began to look forward to seeing him, if not in the infirmary, then walking down the hallways of SGC or just passing by her office to say hi, and invite her to commissary brunch. She like what she saw of the man, and his natural country charm, as he so called it. But one thing she didn't expect and was a bigger surprise to herself; he made her laugh, a lot.

It made her smile to herself and her rider in the car took notice, but kept to herself, realizing their own excitement to be asked to join this little get together. Both enjoyed the smells of the morning dew in the air, the cascading waters and breathtaking snow peaked mountains. They both appreciated the sounds of nature and a glimpse of a small deer and it's fawn. It was beautiful and majestic, without being overbearing and stale at such a view. Cam had given Carolyn great directions and they turned onto a long small dirt road to travel about a half a mile that parallels a rather large lake.

Carolyn parked next to cars that were a small hike to the front entrance of the cabin. Her passenger followed Carolyn up the gravel entrance and could see smoke coming from the chimney. It was a slight chill in the air, which Carolyn assumed was coming off the lake, but once the cabin was in view, she marveled at the pristine surroundings, the small dock and the area of different trees that seemed to surround the outer perimeter. She knew it was early, so she decided to call Cam's phone, rather than wake anyone up.

"Cam, I'm here, where do you want me to go?"

"Alright, I'll be right out, and come around back. I have an entrance at the side. I'll meet you there."

Cam immediately jumped into his sweatpants and shirt and was elated Carolyn had arrived. He quietly snuck out at the side door and met Carolyn around back. He immediately hugged her, not noticing her guest.

"Hey." Cam smiled into her neck.

"Hey you." Carolyn smiled back, smelling the fragrance of his skin and feeling the small stubble on his face.

"Ishta?"

"Teal'c?"

Both starred at each other and stood stoically apart. Both began to approach each other slowly and Ishta closed the gap and took Teal'c's hand and embraced him.

"I had thought you were on Dakara with Master Bratac?" Asked Teal'c.

"I was, but our meetings with the council were cut short. I came to SGC to see you and understand you were on retreat. Dr. Lam offered to take me with her to join your friends."

"I am pleased you are here." Teal'c tried not to smile in front of Cam and Carolyn, but obviously very happy Ishta was now with him.

"Well, let's take this little party inside." Said Cam. "I'm, sure the others will be awake and ready for Cam's number one breakfast."

"I have to remind you Ishta. Cam brags about his cooking and will introduce you to his macaroons, whether you want them or not." Said Carolyn.

"Hey, you love my grandmother's macaroons." Cam said in mock shock.

"Riiiiiight. Anyway I was invited for a hearty breakfast and I expect to be fed."

"Well Teal'c, that's my cue, let's go in and wake everyone up. If we're up then no need for them to sleep in. Come on lovely, let's get you settled." Cam grabbed Caroline's bag as Ishta and Teal'c followed.

Jack walked into the kitchen in his pajamas, expecting Cam to be already cooking and wanting a cup of coffee.

I thought I heard voices.

Jack started the coffee maker and started pulling out bacon, eggs, sausage, and flour for making pancakes. Jack heard voices coming his way, and thought it might be Daniel and Vala. He grabbed a spray bottle full of water and started spraying the first person coming around the corner.

"ISHTA?.......... OH CRAP."

"O'Neill, that was not funny."

"Before you twist me into a pretzel, and then kill me; can Mitchell make breakfast and then give me a descent burial?"
