Sam stood amazed at the cabin. She really hadn't expected the cabin to be as well equipped as it was. There was a satellite TV, several top of the range computers linked to the internet, running water and electricity. What shocked her the most was the amount of books that lined the walls, some of them were not even written in English.

He stood and watched her move around the front room of the cabin. He smiled as she reached out to touch one of his favourite books. It was a children's story that he had brought for Charlie when he visited Russia. As Jack spoke Russian he would regularly translate the story for Charlie. Sam turned to him with a quizzical look in her eye and said

"What's it say" He smiled and translated. She turned to face him and said

"I knew you weren't as stupid as you pretended to be. How many languages do you speak fluently" He smiled and said

"More that I care to remember" He smiled even more as Sam's mouth dropped open. He had no way of protecting himself as the 5' 9" United States Air Force Lieutenant Colonel launched herself at him.

"Jack O'Neill you lying git" she whispered into his ear as he lay pinned to the floor. "Now Carter that's not a nice thing to say to your CO. But why am I a lying git?" He asked.

"Because you pretend to be stupid when I know that you're not. You pretend not to understand Daniel's love of his mythology, his languages, you bug him incessantly over his rocks, you pretend not to know what I'm talking about when I know that you do. You aren't stupid Jack O'Neill. In fact Dad just happened to check your record after meeting him in Washington. Jonathan O'Neill, three doctorates, you are a lying bastard." Sam whispered in his ear.

"Ah shall I come back later" A voice said.

FEEDBACK PLZ N.B. I live in the UK so some of the spelling might seem wrong, bear with me it isn't. I could really do with a beta so if any one is board it would be graciously accepted. Criticisms are also accepted as this is my first story. Many Thanks. Joss.
