"So what do you think of the apes Teal'c?" Sam asked as she leaned on the rail watching them.

"They remind me of the children at the park to which we took Cassandra Fraiser."

"Well that's never been said before." Jack commented sarcastically. Sam bit her lip to hold back a giggle.

"Also reminds me of Jack most of the time. Especially when he's bored." Daniel whispered to her as they watch a gorilla scratch his head. She couldn't suppress it anymore and broke into a fit of giggles.

"Carter?" Jack questioned.

"Sorry sir." She just about managed to get out while she rested her head on her arms.

"Come on Teal'c I'll show you the reptiles." Daniel said. "Are you going to come Sam?" He asked. Sam shook her head. "Okay Jack I'll take Teal'c with me and you can stay with Sam. We'll meet at the Penguin house like arranged at four."

"Sure Danny, Teal'c keep an eye and make sure he doesn't touch anything. We'll get out of here when Carter remembers she's not five anymore." Sam was still giggling. "So what did Daniel say?" He asked as he lent against the rail next to her as Sam fought to control it.

"Probably best if you don't know sir." Sam let out a breath. "Right I apologise for giggling."

"Hey no sweat. Just don't do it again."

"I'll try not to do it again sir, but unfortunately I can't promise that it won't happen again."

"You know I could make it an order?" He teased.

"With all due respect sir, I don't think that would come under the things your allowed to order me to do. But I check the Air Force handbook and the SGC regulations manual when we get back and get back to you on that."

"Smart aleck."

"You wouldn't have me any other way right sir." She finally relaxed enough to tease him.

"Let's go and see the lions okay?"

"Yes sir."

"You know that's getting annoying." He said as they walked out of the Primate Palovana.

"What is sir?" Sam asked.

"You keep saying yes sir, no sir, three bags full sir."

"Yes sir?" She questioned hesitantly.

"Do you think you could drop it for a few days? Just call me Jack."

"It's been ingrained in me since I was a child sir. But I'll try as long as you don't call me Captain."

"I think that's a deal Sam."

"Yes sir." He scowled. "Sorry Jack."

"So why didn't you tell me that you're Dad's a Major General?" He asked.

"Never came up. I have a brother too; Mark who hates the Air Force and everything it stands for. I think I told the other you about his two kids and how much I missed them since they moved to San Diego."

"Yeah, that was kind of awkward." He scratched the back of his head then stuffed his hands in his pockets. "I probably would have gotten round to telling you about Sara and Charlie eventually. Daniel knows but..."

"You would have told me if and when you needed or wanted me to know. It's been an interesting year all in all though sir."

"Met some interesting people." He reminisced.

"Definitely some with an interesting choice of attire." She recalled.

"It was a nice dress and you did look good in it."

" I was thinking more of Kynthia, Malosha and Hathor but thank you anyway."

"Not good people to mention. Here we go lions."

"But we'll get to see the polar bears too right?" She asked as she watched the lions play with their cubs.

"Yeah. Why do you want to see them so much?" He asked.

"If we're going to see the penguins too they'll be the startings of a good list of things to avoid if we end up in a polar region again." She said with a smile.

"That was definitely cold." He shivered at the thought.

"I think we've worn off enough on Daniel to make him start thinking outside the box. Besides it's your cardinal rule, we never leave anyone behind,"

"Okay. I think we've had enough reminiscing for one day, let's see some animals okay?"

"Yeah. How about them lions?" She teased. Jack smiled.
