25

Sam cooks lasagne with extra cheese just the way Jack likes it. While Sam was taking care of dinner, Jack and Mark were watching TV and talking. While the lasagne was cooking, she went to check her e-mails and she quickly sent a message to Mayborne before the NID could trace it back to her house.

She was only on the site for five seconds before she clicks off the site, checking on couple of things before writing some more on her book. She was writing for ten minutes when she did fifty pages in that time, since her buffer was full she left it to do its thing while she checks on dinner, returning and carrying on for few more minutes. Then she finishes writing her book, so she saves it before shutting down and going to see what the guys were doing.

They were watching ice hockey, so she goes to the fridge and gets three beers out and twists the tops off, before walking into the living room and passing two beers to them before she took a mouthful.

"Having fun guys"

"Yep"

"Dinner will be ready in ten minutes."

"Ok, it smells good any way." Mark said

"Thanks, wait until you try it" she said smiling before she went to check on her washing when the phone rings, she went to answer it

"Carter"

"Hey kiddo, how are ya?"

"Hi dad good, is everything ok?"

"Yeah, I just drop off a tablet, the one the Tok'ra found for Daniel, to look at"

"Ah so he would be in his element then"

Jacob laughs. "Yes, he is"

"So, when do you have to return?"

"Soon as the translating is done, why?"

"So, have you got some time to come around for dinner, it your favourite" she said smiling knowing that she has baiting him

"Lasagne, that sound good, are you sure?" Sam look over to her living room

"Yes, and there will be cheesecake for desert, chocolate and Carmel"

"Sam what are you doing to me?"

"Baiting you, so are you coming we can have a 'family' dinner" Jack turns to see what Sam is doing

"Who are you talking to Sam"

"Dad" Mark turns around and looks at Sam

"I've invited him around for 'family' dinner"

"Is he coming?"

"Well dad is you coming at least you get a chance to see the wedding photos," she said grinning

"Well ok you got me"

"Great hook line and bait see you soon"

"Ok see you in half an hour" he laughs when he hung up, she did the same

"Why didn't you tell him I was here?" Mark said

"And what ruin the surprise" she walks over to them

"I guess your right about that, so he's in town?"

"Yes, he drops a rock off for a friend before coming around" Jack knew what Sam was saying

"Ok it would be great to see him"

"Same here, so who's winning"

They talk for few minutes until Sam goes to turn the oven down and set the table. She hears a noise in her bedroom, so she goes to check. She walks in and hears the toilet flush. She waits for the person to come out. When he does she yells

"Mayborne."

He jumps when he sees Sam. "Gee, Carter"

"Shh" she closes the bedroom door.

"My brother is out there"

"Oh, I got your message, what is it?"

"Stay here and don't touch anything"

She walks out and turns her computer on and checks the site out and prints the house out that Jack and Sam just brought she signs off and took the printout and goes back to her bedroom and passes it to him

"That's the house we just brought"

"You want me to pay for it with the money Jack put into my account"

"Yes, Jack told me how much he sent to you"

"Ok, I'll take care of it on Monday, hey, good work on saving General Ryan"

"Thanks"

"You really pissed those guys off"

"That nothing new."

"True, I'll be in contact when it's done"

"Ok, any idea who the leader is?"

"Nope, I've narrowed it down, I'll know more soon"

"Ok thanks"

Then he went back into the bathroom and climb out her window and he was gone, Sam closes the window before going back into the kitchen to check on dinner when there was a knock on the door. So, she went to answer and smiles when she sees her father. "Dad"

"Hi kiddo" he walks in and she closes the door as he takes off his jacket.

"George told me about what you guys did to save General Ryan"

She smiles. "Thanks, shall we"

"Mmm, it smells good" they walk in to the living room and Jacob stops.

"Mark."

Mark turns around and stands up. "Dad." he walked over to his father and gives him a hug.

"What are you doing here?"

"Let's talk about it over dinner" Sam says as she walks into the kitchen.

Jack goes to greet him. "Hi dad, we're pleased you could make it."

"Thanks, when Sam told me over the phone what you were having, some choice I had."

"Well you pick the best out of the two"

"Thanks" Sam showed up with the lasagne and put it on the table.

"Mmm, smells wonderful Sam"

"Thanks, Dad, shall we"

Jack went and got bottle of wine out and opens it and pours everyone a drink while they dish up their own lasagne, while talking. Mark told Jacob why he was there, about the photos, everything so he could know what had been going on. They talk about the kids and what Jack and Sam had for breakfast. They talk about everything including the house.

After dessert, Jack and Sam take care of the dishes and make drinks, before moving into the living room where the four of them talk. Jacob gets the opportunity to look at the wedding photos. It was late when Daniel calls to let Jacob know that he is finished with the translation, so Jacob asks for someone to pick him up.

A half an hour later, an airman shows up to take Jacob back to base. Sam passes him copies of the photos, before he leaves. Shortly, after he left Mark goes to bed, he was flying out the next day. Jack and Sam go to their room to talk.

"Mayborne was here earlier."

"What where was he?"

"In here, he knows about us rescuing General Ryan and that we pissed off the NID again"

"That nothing new"

"That what I told him" she said smiling

"So, he drops by to what?"

"The house, remember?"

"Ah, yes, and?"

"I got it off the net, he going to take care of it on Monday."

"What does he want out of it?"

"He didn't say, I think it makes him happy that we pissed off the NID."

"Ok, what time is Mark's flight tomorrow?"

"One in the afternoon."

"Ok" He gives her a kiss and it becomes passionate, they make love before they fall asleep in each other's arms, with smiles on their faces.

The next morning Jack goes to the base, leaving Sam and Mark alone to spend some time together talking, since they hardly see one another because of work. After Mark's plane leaves for San Diego, Sam goes to the base to find out if Thor has shown up yet. She goes to see Daniel who was in his office working

"Hey" she walkes in with a smile on her face.

"Hi, Sam, looking for Jack?"

"Yeah, any word from Thor?"

"No, nothing yet"

"Ok, so what did the Tok'ra want you to translate for them?"

"Oh, it from the ancients, it talks about a weapon"

"Weapon?"

"Yes, but it didn't say what sort or where it is"

"Ok, so they leave the artefact here?"

"Yes" he showed Sam the tablet and photos,

"Any idea on an address?"

"No, nothing yet."

"Ok, I'll go and find Jack, have fun."

"Ok, hey, congratulation on the house."

"Thanks, knowing Jack he will want a house warming barbecue."

"That what he said" she smiled at him.

"Figures. See you tomorrow"

"Ok Sam, bye" she walks out with a smile on her face.

She knows of one place he might be, so she walks to the mess hall and looks around to see him talking to Teal'c while they were having a late lunch. She walked over to them and gives Jack a kiss before sitting down next to him.

"Hi Teal'c"

"Major Carter"

"Did Mark get away ok?"

"Yeah, he did, have you two been sparing again?"

"Yeah I've been taking it easy on Teal'c"

"Ok, so what would you like for dinner tonight?"

"Chicken"

"Ok should I meet you at your place tonight?"

"Sure, fine by me, we can talk about the extensions on the house"

"What time?"

"Seven?"

"Sounds good to me"

Daniel showed up ten minutes later for some coffee and goes to join the group; they talk for another twenty minutes before Sam leaves for home. Later that night Sam showed up with barrel of KFC, with two of, chips, potato and gravy, coleslaw, bean salad and corn on the cob.

They both talk while enjoying their dinner since Sam goes to the gym for a workout for three hours before going home to sort out her washing and did up some designs for the house for couple of hours. Before packing a bag and leaving to get some dinner, to Jack house. Sam shows him some designs she did up on the computer. Jack picks up one design he likes and shows it to Sam

"This one I like"

It got seven bedroom and bathrooms upstairs. The master bedroom was showing the northside of the house, so they would be getting the sun in their bedroom day and he likes the design of their bathroom.

A Jacuzzi, his and her hand basin walk-in shower with glass doors they could fit in eight people in it no problem, his and her shower heads, same with the hand basins. His and her walk-in closet and bed bedroom. He also like the design for what she did for downstairs also. They talk about more about the house for the next two hours before they goes to bed for the night.

The next morning Jack and Sam arrived at work early in the morning, they meet Daniel and Teal'c for breakfast, while they were talking Hammond shows up and walks over to them.

"Sir is everything ok?"

"The rogue NID men and women you arrested when you rescued General Ryan are dead"

"What?" Jack said, they were shocked

"What about Kinsey?"

"He is still alive"

"What happened, sir?"

"They were poisoned"

"What how?"

"It was in the drinks given to them"

"Sir next time we catch ourselves some rogue agents, we should get the information we can before the NID show up"

"Good idea, anything on the laptops?"

"We will be going over the information after breakfast sir"

"Good, keep me apprised if anything new is found"

"Yes sir" he left to head back to his office.
