Cam, Vala in the passenger seat with Teal'c in the back, pulled up in front of Daniel's house, saying, "I'm worried… their cells are switched off, and we haven't heard from them in a day… a whole bunch of stuff could have happened."

As Vala looked thoughtful, Teal'c remarked, "I see that you are as optimistic as always. Perhaps they are partaking in the pleasures of love. ColonelCarter is a great warrior, as is DanielJackson, and…"

Cam cleared his throat, and said, turning to glare at him, "T! Come on, I think Vala's rubbing off on you."

Vala remarked, amused, "Oh lay off him, Cameron… he's just saying what we're all thinking about our two delectable scientists. I can tell you that they're not just talking."

Cam rolled his eyes and was about to get out when he spotted a young man walking up Daniel's front path. The Colonel frowned and asked, "Who…?"

Teal'c said, smiling slightly, "It is O'Neill the younger."

Vala said, confused, "I didn't know that Jack had a son… well, I did, but not like this…"

Cam said, glaring at her briefly, "That's his clone… there was that little thing with Loki five years ago. This guy should be twenty now."

"Oh! I heard about a clone… I thought Daniel was joking."

Teal'c replied as he got out of the car, "Indeed he was not."

Cam and Vala got out too, and mini-Jack turned, his eyes widening on seeing Teal'c. He waved, saying with a grin as he ran towards them,

"T! God, I've missed you so much!"

The younger man pulled Teal'c into a hug, and he remarked, "The hair suits you – makes you look less belligerent."

Cam and Vala exchanged a little glance, the former saying, "Nice to meet you, Sir."

Mini-Jack retorted, "Come off it, Mitchell - I'm assuming you are Colonel Mitchell – I'm not him."

Vala smiled and said, "You're a nice young man anyway."

Mini-Jack rolled his eyes, and Cam asked, "Sir… I mean, Jack, what are you doing here?"

Mini-Jack replied, "Oh, someone's gotta look out for Dannyboy… him and Carter had some geek fun yesterday – they drove up to Denver to check out the K-T boundary."

Vala asked, glancing at a perturbed Teal'c, "Didn't they come back?"

"Of course. I was here when they did… Carter brought an overnight bag."

They all exchanged guarded looks, and Cam said with a shrug, "Well, we want to see if they're ok… If we hear anything other than cries for help, we run, capische?"

Vala looked puzzled at first but nodded resolutely in agreement, as did Teal'c to a more serious extent, and mini-Jack shrugged, saying as he scratched the back of his head awkwardly, "Yeah, nothing like seeing and hearing way more of your buddy and old second-in-command than you were ever meant to."

They walked up Daniel's front path, Vala discreetly checking out the younger man's backside and giving it an appreciative smile as Teal'c's eyebrow shot up. Inside, they heard nothing, and mini-Jack was about to lead them through to the kitchen when he paused on reaching the couch, and smiled.

They all gathered around him and were surprised to say the least to see Sam and Daniel, fast asleep in each other's arms, naked under an Afghan, a few items of clothing visible on the other side of the room. Teal'c smiled slightly, and Vala reached for Cam's hand, smiling softly when he turned to look at her. Mini-Jack, a fatherly smile on his face, smoothed Daniel's hair and then said quietly,

"I think we better vamoose before they get embarrassed."

Cam remarked, glancing at Vala, "Well, it looks like they're fine."

Vala added with a fond smile, "Our lifeless scientists have a life."

Teal'c said, arms around mini-Jack and Vala, "Indeed."

Mini-Jack wrote a little note, pinning to the couch above the slumbering scientists as said scientists stirred but didn't quite wake up. Sam's hand reached up to caress Daniel's neck, and then, in reply, he kissed her bare shoulder. The four visitors exchanged embarrassed glances, mini-Jack remarking,

"That's our cue… come on, let's roll."

They left the house, closing the door softly behind them and walked down the path together. Vala asked, curious as Cam looked on, worried,

"Do you have a girlfriend?"

Mini-Jack raised an eyebrow and remarked, "I've got the consciousness of a fifty-four year old and the body of a twenty year old. If I got with anyone my physical age, it would be too weird, and if I got with anyone my real age, it would look gross. Looks like Dannyboy's celibacy's rubbed off on me."

As Teal'c placed a consoling hand on mini-Jack's shoulder, Cam said, glancing worriedly at the way Vala looked thoughtful, "I'm sure you'll find someone, one day."
