Part 8
Once back at his house, Jack was quick to put everyone to work. Sam was in charge
of cutting up the fresh fruit while Daniel busied himself with washing the vegetables.
Once clean, Daniel began opening drawers in search of a nice paring knife when Jack
surprised him by pointing to the closet. Inside housed a beautiful, state of the art
food processor. Daniel was absolutely shocked to discover that Jack had a high end
Cuisinart.
"Jack?!" Daniel said aloud staring incomprehensively at the food processor.
"You'll need to plug it in Danny to get it to work." Jack said with a smile.
"But.."
"Yes?"
"You're a soldier!"
"Figured that out huh?" Jack said holding back a grin.
"And you have a Cuisinart!"
"That I do. And it's mine too. Not an unwanted wedding gift or something." Seeing
the incredulous looks on both Carter and Daniel's faces Jack decided to come clean.
"Yes, I cook!" He said with an air of resignation. "And I like it!" He growled
expertly cracking an egg with one hand while whisking it into a bowl with the other.
"Anyone got a problem with that?"
"No Sir."
"Not me!"
"I thought not." And with that Jack went back to his omelet making.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"God Jack that was delicious." Daniel said pushing away his plate and pouring
himself another cup of coffee. The trio had been sitting around the table for nearly
two hours talking and eating.
"I'm certain I gained at least a pound after all that good food Si.. Jack." Sam said
with a little awkwardness.
"Hey, I'm just following the doctor's orders." Jack said holding up his hands.
"Sir?" Sam asked forgetting the no ranks rule. Jack just smiled. He couldn't expect
her to lose 5 years of habit in one afternoon.
"I'm sure she gave you the same lecture Carter."
"Ah, the loss talk." Sam said with a knowing nod.
"Yep."
"Would someone care to fill in the poor clueless person here?" A confused Daniel
Jackson asked.
"Sorry Danny. I forgot that you didn't need to have "The Lecture" like Carter and
me. Hey Sam what was your final number?"
"Eight. And you?" Sam might have problems saying 'Jack' but she could lose the
ubiquitous Sir without too much difficulty.
"Ten. How the hell that happened is beyond me. We were only gone five days.."
"Well you at least were running around! How'd I lose so much sitting on my ass and
bleeding all over the place?" Luckily Sam said this in such a way as to not cause
either one of them to dwell on the seriousness of her injuries.
"Hey!" Daniel interrupted waving his hands in front of him. "Confused person over
here? Wants details?"
"Sorry Daniel." A smiling Samantha Carter said. "The Colonel and I lost a significant
amount of weight on P3X-711 and Janet told both of us she wouldn't clear us for
duty until we gained most of it back."
"Yeah- and it didn't help matters that we were still a little on the thin side after that
lovely thank you feast given to us by the natives of that swampy planet." Jack said
fixing Daniel with a dirty look.
"Hey! How was I to know they liked to cook with a lot of raw eggs?" Daniel asked
indignantly.
"Oh we know that Daniel." Sam said pleasantly. "But we still find it a little..off-
putting that you had to head back to the Stargate before eating the meal and thus
missed out on some of the worst food poisoning the SGC had seen in quite a while.
"The doc made me haul around an IV bag for over three days!" Jack grumbled.
"It wasn't my fault the Tok'ra needed my immediate help with a translation." Daniel
wined.
"We know Daniel. We know." Sam said with a grin. It was SO good to be out.
"So basically Janet told both of you to eat a lot of foods high in fat and cholesterol?"
Daniel asked cocking his head to one side.
"Yep."
"Uh-huh." Jack and Sam shared a smile.
"You'll make some woman quite happy Sir." Sam said contentedly leaning back in
her chair and patting her stomach gently. Instantly she realized what she had said
and mentally kicked herself. The carefree mood was shattered and Jack stared at
her intensely before abruptly standing up and collecting dishes.
**Shit! Why'd I say that?! Good going Carter.**
Daniel watched the silent interaction between his two best friends and shook his
head sadly. Would they ever get a break?
"Jack, I'll do the dishes, you try and get Sam to pony up the movies!" Daniel said
with a little too much enthusiasm.
Sam bit the inside of her cheek as she stood up. **Gotta find a way to take some
meds soon.** After weeks of basically lying down, sitting for a few hours wasn't
going over too well. Sam knew she should just take some pain pills but really didn't
want to do so in front of the guys. She knew this was silly but she couldn't help it.
"I'll show you the movies choices AFTER a visit to the bathroom." Sam said with a
slightly forced smile. Her teammates were not fooled in the slightest as she grabbed
her bag and slowly walked to the bathroom.
"Daniel, Sam gets the couch o.k?" Jack asked as he finished clearing the table.
"Absolutely Jack. She's been up for a good 6 hours now and I betcha anything she is
hurting and in need of a little nap."
"I just hope she's playing it smart and taking her meds." Jack turned to face his
friend. "Should we ask her?"
"I'm sure she's in there right now taking something Jack. Let's trust her on this
one."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"So do you two have any guesses as to this morning's movie selections?" Sam
asked lightly as she grabbed her orange juice glass and headed into the living room.
"No worms, snakes, aliens or girly mush and it takes place on the planet Earth?"
Jack recapped as he popped open a beer and plopped down in his favorite armchair.
Daniel gave a very good Teal'c impression as he raised an eyebrow at Jack's beer. It
WAS only 11 o'clock in the morning.
"Good source of carbohydrates Danny." Jack said raising his beer in a toast.
"None of that." Sam confirmed as she gingerly lowered herself onto the couch.
"Please tell me you didn't pick out a Disney film." Daniel asked with a slight
shudder.
"Ooo, 'Lassie Comes Home' was always one of my favorites." Jack said sarcastically.
"Really Jack?" Daniel asked missing the tone of Jack's voice completely.
"No Daniel." Jack said patiently taking another swig of his beer.
"Most definitely not a Disney film." Sam confirmed laughing.
"Modern or Classic?" Jack asked.
"Modern."
"Would I have heard of it?" This was a Daniel question.
"Daniel, most of the inhabitants of North America have heard of this film but I cannot
categorically confirm that you have." Jack snickered causing Daniel to shoot him a
dirty look.
"Hey!" Jack said holding up his hands in protest. "I'm not the one who spends
weeks at a time hunkered down in my office playing with rocks." Daniel decided not
to play Jack's game and withheld his automatic response of "artifacts."
"You guys can argue over the title of the next film." Sam said pulling out one of the
DVD boxes. "I've been wanting to see this for over a year so I say we just watch it!"
She wanted to just throw the video to Jack but knew her aim would be horrid so she
just slid it across the end table towards Jack.
"Sweet!" Jack declared as he read the title. "I haven't seen this one either. Great
soundtrack though."
"I never pegged you for a blue-grass fan S.. Jack."
"There's a lot you might not know about me Carter." Jack said with a slightly leering
grin.
"Would you two cut it out and just tell me what we're watching?!" An exasperated
Daniel Jackson asked sitting down in the other recliner. He had barely resisted the
urge to shout, "Get a room and get it over with!"
"O Brother Where Art Thou." Sam said with a smug grin. Daniel had to nod to
himself. Yep, it did indeed fit all the restrictions. AND he HAD heard of it.
