One morning, a bleary-eyed Cam came downstairs to make breakfast to find the table already laden with steaming plates and mugs. He stared at the table, stunned as he tried to think who had made it. Surely if it was his doing, he would remember doing it, unless he had suddenly started sleep-cooking. Sam and Daniel were out too as they had stayed up late again the previous night and he had just checked in on them to see them fast asleep.
His mind still sleep-fogged, he scratched the back of his head in puzzlement, wondering what kind of burglar would make breakfast and then serve it up. He then thought that perhaps the Ori had taken to using some new tactics in their ongoing crusade against all that opposed them... by making breakfast for three members of Earth's first line of defence. Just as he was about to call the SGC, he nearly leapt three miles into the air when none other than Jack, Teal'c and Vala emerged from behind a door, the General remarking,
"The future looks bleak for my kids with you in charge."
Cam blinked slowly, mentally shaking himself as his brain registered who was in front of him, and he retorted, closing his eyes, "Well Sir, I was having a hard time trying to think what kind of burglar would make breakfast and then leave it... and I was up late. Anyway, aren't you mad at my two lead singers?"
Teal'c looked at Jack meaningfully as Vala slipped her arms around Cam's waist, leaning her head on his shoulder as she too looked at Jack, who shrugged, replying with a straight face, "I'm Uncle Jack."
Cam looked at Teal'c for an explanation, and the Jaffa said, "You tirelessly care for DanielJackson and ColonelCarter, and we wish to ease your toil as we should due to our common kinship."
Cam thanked his friends after looking oddly at Teal'c's lack of explanation for Jack's apparent change of heart, and Vala said, smiling, "You do work hard, so as Muscles here said in his fun way, we've giving you a break."
Jack cleared his throat as Cam and Vala gazed at each other, the General feeling awkward, and he said to Vala, "Tell him the other thing."
As Cam looked from the General and back to Vala curiously, Vala whispered something in his ear. When she had finished, Cam looked bemused as he looked at Jack and Teal'c, the Jaffa's eyebrow raising as he wondered what had been said. Jack glared at Vala, also wondering what she had said, and Cam asked, clearing his throat,
"You and Teal'c, Sir?... Well, so long as you're happy and comfortable with it."
Jack and Teal'c exchanged an odd glance before proceeding to glare at a cheekily smiling Vala, the General saying, "Vala, no wonder Daniel used to get pissed at you."
Cam, still smiling, said, "Hey, no, I'm guessing the first part was true... just having a bit of fun at your expense. Uh... well, our two pregnant peeps are gonna be beaming. Are you telling them?"
Jack, smiling slightly, looked to Teal'c, who replied, standing up straighter as he too smiled slightly, "We will not."
Jack, patting Teal'c on the shoulder, remarked, "Daniel was onto something when he said that Teal'c's deep."
Vala was about to say something when Teal'c got there first, replying with a perfectly straight face, "Yes - beer."
