Disclaimer in pt 1
Four days and this would all be over. We would be man and wife. I'm staring at the ceiling thinking again what I have planned for today. Jack stirs next to me but I could tell by his breathing he's still asleep.
Dad and Jack had a late night. We were planning a quiet dinner for two but dad surprised us and they decided to see who could out toast each other. It started out innocently but by 11:00 p.m. it was getting serious when they started to do double shots of whiskey. I called a stop to it and had to help dad and Jack to bed. Not my ideal of a romantic evening but seeing them get along was worth it.
The phone started to ring but I didn't want to wake Jack since he had his arms around me and if I was to move he'd wake. I heard the machine answer and heard Daniel's voice pleading on the phone for Jack to answer if he was home he stated it was urgent.
I contemplated waking him but then remembered the practical joke Daniel had played on us the day before. He called claiming to be the President and wanting Jack to report to the SGC immediately for a meeting. Jack was surprised but didn't say a word and I snatched the phone out of his hands.
We had been given the week before the wedding for last minute details and the two weeks after for my surprise honeymoon which Jack still hadn't told me where we were going.
I took the phone and asked who it was and was given the same line Jack was fed about a meeting at the SGC and Jack needing to be there pronto. I almost fell for it but I thought there was no way the President of the United States would use the word pronto and started to recognized the voice and nodded my head no to Jack and started to scream into the phone.
"Daniel Jackson, if you don't have anything better to do then to mess around with us I'll personally go do to your office and knock over every shelf with a "rock' on it so you have to re-categorize it do you get me geek boy or do I have to hurt you. You're messing with the bride to be and I need my groom to help me get this shin ding together. Now quit calling before I call Janet and then you're really in trouble."
With that I hung up and smiled at Jack who had started to laugh after the rock comment. He grabbed me and gave me a kiss and said he'd never get me that angry and that if I wanted he'd go down and pound on Daniel to make me feel better. Before I got to answer the phone rang again. I snatched it and yelled what.
It was Janet apologizing for her boyfriend who had too much time on his hands. She said everything was quiet and that he just missed us. She reminded me about us getting together tomorrow to go over the plans for the dress rehearsal and dinner. Also, Julia had called her and said she wanted us to go over tomorrow instead of Thursday for our final fitting. I said that was fine and that I'd see her then.
The phone rang again and Jack nudge me to answer it without opening his eyes. The machine picked it up and this time it was Teal'c asking for O'Neill and that it was imperative that he call him back immediately. I turned over to see what time it was the clock read Tuesday April 26 7:30 am. I turned to my side and Jack scooted behind me and pulled me close to his chest. The phone rang again and Jack moaned I didn't budge I was not answering the phone this early.
The machine picked up and this time it was Janet asking me to call her when I had a chance.
"How long has the phone been ringing Sam? It feels like grand central station, don't these people ever sleep." Jack mumbled while starting to nuzzle the back of my ear.
My cell phone started to ring with the wedding march tone telling me it was someone calling about the wedding. That was Janet's ideal. With all the calls I was missing being at work she suggested I get a separate line for wedding stuff only. I got up and started to rummage through my purse for the phone.
I got the call before it was transferred to voice mail to hear a cheery voice tell me that I and my bridesmaids were scheduled for a day of beauty on Saturday before the wedding. She was just confirming the time and the number in my party. I thanked her for calling and hung up. The phone started to ring again and Jack yelled out 'oh for crying out loud what does someone have to do to get some sleep around here." He put his pillow over his head and asked since I was up why didn't I find out who it was.
I got up and answered the phone. It was Daniel saying why hadn't I picked up the phone earlier. I asked what was so important. Daniel said he needed to talk to Jack they had just received word from Washington that the budget meetings for the SGC were rescheduled for later on that day and that they had been trying to get in touch with him. I huffed and started in on him.
"Daniel why don't you go off world and see if you can't get lost or find some nice rocks to play with the only call I've received have been from you, Teal'c and Janet. So stop pulling my leg. Jack's hung over and I'm not feeling to well so please stop with the jokes before I get in my car and go down there and throw you through the gate."
"I'm not kidding Sam, General Hammond has been trying to get in touch with you and Jack since last night he left messages on your machine and called your cell phones well I know he called Jack's since they want him to fly out this afternoon. Oh they've asked your dad to go along to. Since the Tok'ra are combining there base with one of ours He thought it would be a good ideal since there one of our allies he might have some influence on what they decide. So I recommend you get your guy up and fill him with coffee and get him over here soon."
"Okay Daniel I was being nice but no more. We were given the three weeks off . One week before the wedding two weeks after now unless the goa'uld are hovering over the mountain I don't want to hear it. That was really inventive lie about the meetings being change and to throw in my dad for good measure you get an A now Daniel I don't want you to call back and you can tell everyone else that also."
I hung up and went back to bed. I climbed in and Jack tucked me under his chin and asked who it was. I told him the story Daniel had cooked up and he was chuckling when I told him that we didn't want to be bothered. I turned around and started to place small kisses up and down his neck his chest and face.
He wasn't protesting much and I was getting a little aggressive with my kissing and started letting my hands wander. My cell phone started to ring and I told him to let it ring. We continue to kiss and he rolled me under him and the phone stopped. Two seconds later the wedding march started to ring. Jack stopped and I nodded no and kissed him again to get his mind off the ringing it stopped and we started to undress each other.
My cell phone rang again and I had enough. I cursed yanked the phone off the dresser and yelled. What.
I was about to hang up when a voice came on the line asking for me to please hold for the President of the United States. I rolled my eyes and started to mumble if Janet would kill me if I decided to maim Daniel. Jack gave me a puzzled look and I whispered that Daniel didn't know when to quit.
"Colonel Carter this is President Hayes I hope I'm not disturbing you but I need to get in touch with Jack O'Neill immediately. It seems the whole base has been trying to contact both of you with no luck. So I decided to try my luck with this number that was given to me by Dr. Jackson. I've been informed that you both are not to be disturbed since you are getting things prepared for your upcoming nuptials. I want to wish you both the best of luck and hate to pull your fiancée away but I do need to get in touch with him. This is an emergency and I need him to get back to Washington immediately. The budget meetings have been re-scheduled for today and I need his expertise on this matter. So Colonel may I please speak to your fiancée."
While I was on the phone the other phone started to ring and Jack said he had enough and got up to answer it. I took a deep breath and started with my tirade.
"Listen up mister what part of leave us alone don't you get? That's a real good impression of the President you even got that sarcastic tone that almost made me believe it was him .Not. For as long as I've known you I can't believe you've sunk so low. Why can't you leave us alone. Damn we've saved this Earth's ass so many times that I can't believe you guys can't live with out us for 3 weeks. Next time I see you I am going to hurt you. You better wish I don't have a zat with me because I can't be accountable for my actions no matter who's around your going to have an accident. So listen up one we are not going to the mountain unless the system lords are banging on the door. Two when I get off this phone I'm going to call Hammond and give him get an earful of all the interruptions we've been put through and three you just interrupted me having some much deserve sex so with that I bid you good bye and better luck next time."
I ended the call and turned when I heard Jack groan as he held the phone to his ear. I was smiling and he let his head drop and said "You are so dead space monkey I think Sam's career is over."
I looked at Jack then back to my cell phone and I gasped. It started to ring again and I dropped it on the bed I was shaking my head and Jack hung up on Daniel and came to sit by me on the bed.
"Jack please tell me that it was all a joke that I didn't just tell off the President of the United States and told him that he interrupted me from having sex."
The cell phone was still ringing and our regular one was also. Jack let out a sigh and answered the cell.
Jack said he'd hold the other phone stop ringing and the machine picked up it was General Hammond asking us to pick up that it was urgent. I picked up and answered. Jack could hear how angry Hammond was and said that the President was really calling and that Jack should take the call I said he was already holding for the President and he asked Jack to call him afterwards. I keep saying my career was over and Jack pulled me close to him but let go when he was connected to the President.
I tried to listen in to what was being said. I heard fragments of what the President was saying and Jack nodding and giving one word answers. I started to get up and Jack grabbed my hand and pulled me down onto the bed. He closed his eyes and I knew my career at the SGC was over. My head dropped down into my hands and I wanted to cry. Jack put his arm around me I heard him take a deep breath and started to chuckle.
"Yes sir I understand and I'm glad everything was explained to you. Yes she is a handful. No I wouldn't trade her for the world. Yes she's right here would you like to speak to her? Yes just a minute sir."
Jack handed me the phone and I felt sick to my stomach. I shook my head no and he motioned me to take the phone. My eyes shot daggers at him as I took a deep breath and answered the phone.
"Colonel are you there? This is the President of the United States and I am sorry for the intrusion at this hectic time. I remember how frantic my wife was before our wedding but I really need your fiancée to be at these meetings. I promise to have him back to you by Thursday night. He said he would not go unless you give him the okay. He mentioned that he was needed there to help with last minute preparations. So I'm asking as is your country can we have your fiancée for a couple of days?'
I looked at Jack and he whispered it was up to me. I stammered out yes that it was fine and apologized for the earlier call and if he could just forget the whole incident. He chuckled and said he was a little taken aback but after he heard about the practical joke that was he understood. He asked if my father was there and I said yes and that he was needed also. I promised to wake him and have him ready to go. He said that General Hammond had all the particulars and Major Davis would also be joining them. I apologized again and said that they would be at the SGC within the hour.
"Thank you Colonel and please accept my apology on you not being able to complete your ahh task. Please forward that to Jack and tell him I will see him this afternoon."
He hung up and I fell back onto the bed and groaned "I can't believe I said that to the President and he made a joke about it. I'm so embarrassed I wont be able to look at the man let alone be in the same room with him."
Jack started to chuckle and started to kiss me. I sat up and said, "God Jack you've got to call General Hammond and you and dad have to get to the SGC."
"So we don't have time to you know." He said smirking and patting the bed.
I rolled my eyes and got up and said, "I almost blew my career and you want to have sex! Are you kidding come on flyboy into the shower I still have to wake up dad and I'm sure Selmac's not to pleased with him. So get up before I order you in."
He gave me a mock salute and planted a kiss on my cheek as I walked out he swatted my backside and said, "You are so worth getting in trouble for and don't you forget it. You should have heard what the President said."
I shook my head no and said, "Don't remind me I have to tell Dad so there wont be any surprises when you guys get to Washington. That's a fate worse then death. He said you were rubbing off on me and he's right you are."
He stuck out his tongue and picked up the phone to call Hammond before hitting the showers and I went in search of Dad. I checked the spare bedroom and it was empty and went down to the kitchen to see dad holding his head and drinking a large glass of milk.
"Hey dad you're awake. The SGC called they need you and Jack to get back asap. You're flying to Washington for a meeting about the new base."
Dad looked up at me and nodded his head no. "I'm going back to bed I feel like crap and Selmac refuses to help me out saying I brought it all onto myself thinking I was a younger man then I am and trying to out drink Jack. I begged for mercy but I've haven't got any response."
I asked dad to let me talk to Selmac and he bent down his head and I started to explain to Selmac what had happen and the urgency on getting dad and Jack to the SGC within the hour. Selmac said, "I will help you Samantha but only because you asked he deserves to feel miserable for having me endure all that alcohol. It does not agree with me like coffee but this he still insists on. I will have him ready to leave in 20 minutes."
I thanked her and headed back to the bedroom to get ready myself. Jack was still in the shower and I decided to join him. Stepping into the shower he started to laugh saying he knew I couldn't stay away and started to pin me to the wall and ravish me. I put up a fight but gave in. After the shower Jack got dress and saw me do the same. He nodded his head no that I was not going to the SGC.
"I know you Sam they get you over there and its down hill from there no you're staying here you've got a lot of stuff to take care of."
I told him that I was going in to pick up Janet that we had to go to pick up her dress and to check on my sister in-laws dress and my nieces since she was going to be our flower girl. I promised that I would not touch anything and would not go to my lab.
"Scouts honor now. You promise you wont go to your lab and see if they brought you any new toys right. You've got enough to worry about and you're running yourself ragged. I'm going to tell doc to check you out to see if you're coming down with anything. I don't want you to be sick for our honeymoon."
"Speaking of honeymoon are you going to tell me where were are going or are you just going to kidnap me? Oh and Jack if your taking me up to the cabin you better pray the weather is going to be beautiful since you made me buy that black bikini and your hitting that's all I'm going to need. It's still cold up there and as much as I like having you as my blanket I want to pack appropriately."
Grabbing his bag he smiled and said that it was all taken care of and that no we were not going to the cabin and there was no way in hell they'd find us.
I begged for him to tell me and he kissed me and said no it was a surprise and that he wanted me to be surprised.
We walked into the living room and dad was looking better and looked and Jack and shook his head.
"Please tell me you at least have a headache after yesterday. Jack we drank the same amount and your no worse for wear."
He pulled me close to him and said that I was his hangover cure and he felt great. I laughed and suggested we get going.
On the way over Jack pulled a cd out of his glove compartment and put it in the song started and he started to sing,
You're technique it leaves me weak
My heart knows its the beat I seek
And I found it (just got lucky)
Oh yes I found it (just got lucky)
I never worry that your love is fake
I'm feeling easy and I'm feeling jade
Cause I found it (just got lucky)
Oh boy I found it (just got lucky)
Cause I never felt this way before
Like a dog always begging for more
I've been fooled by love so many times
I gave up on all the silly rhymes
kept my feelings all inside my heart
A Locked door, no key was cut, that was my fate
Now I'm such a very lucky guy
Gang way, one side now
(gotta hear me say) we found the answers and it's plain to see
(gotta hear me say) I'm for you and you're for me
Cause I found it (just got lucky)
Together we found it (just got lucky)
I feel a quiver every time we kiss
The sky's the limit with a love like this
cause I found it (just got lucky)
Together we found it (just got lucky)
I laughed at the song he had picked and I could hear dad groaning in the back seat shaking his head and saying when were we going to call a truce on this contest. We both looked at each other and said as soon as the other gave in.
We reached the mountain and dad got out. Jack pulled the cd out and handed it to me. It said Songs for Sam. I looked at him and he explained to me that he had Cassie copy a bunch of songs for him about me and since he wasn't going to be around that I was to listen to one every time I missed him. I asked what was on the CD and he said he'd let me find out.
"You realize that I'm ahead now and this clinches it right so missy why don't you give up and declare me the winner. So you can get your mind back to our wedding?"
"I haven't yet begun to fight and since you're full of surprises be prepared for one for you at the wedding."
Jack kept asking me what was the surprise and I pretended to ignore him and signed in at the checkpoint and made my way to the elevator dad was waiting and said we were late so to hurry up. Jack was still bugging at the second check point that I had to tell him enough and the only way I was going to tell him was if he told me where we were going on our honeymoon.
Jack stopped bugging after that and we arrived at the briefing room. General Hammond was there as was Daniel, Teal'c and Major Davis. I went straight for Daniel and he saw the fire in my eyes and yelped and went to hide behind Janet that had just arrived.
Jack came up behind me and pointed his finger at Daniel and said, "if I wasn't leaving Space Monkey you'd be so dead that even you ascending wouldn't help."
Janet apologized for her boyfriend and promised me that she already had him on restriction and we heard Daniel moan and drop his head and Janet snapped back Oh and that includes coffee Daniel that wasn't a very nice thing you did and I'm sure Sam wants to hurt you but since your going to be needed at the wedding and she doesn't want to ruin her wedding pictures she'll probably wait till afterwards right Sam?"
I nodded and whispered to Daniel, "Paybacks a bitch geek boy and I don't need Jack to do my dirty work so when you least expect it expect it."
Jack pulled me back and said down girl and looked at Daniel and said, "taught her everything she knows you're a marked man Danny boy."
General Hammond called the meeting and Major Davis briefed us to why it was so important that Jack and Dad go to this meeting. Kinsey was at it again and wanted the SGC budget slashed in half and Jack and Dad were needed to shed some light on what exactly was need and why. Kinsey had found out that we were going to be unreachable next week and tried to schedule it for then but some quick rearranging from Major Davis and his staff made the meetings possible for this week. They need to leave right away to make it to the first meeting Dad said He'd get his uniform out since he was official still a General and went off to get his things and to contact the Tok'ra on the change of plans. Jack asked Janet to take a look at me and to see if I was okay. He told her I had been sick the morning before and had thrown up. I told them all it was just nerves and I had thrown up after I had gotten a call from Julia telling me the harp player we had contracted had to cancel because she had broken her arm.
Janet assured Jack that she would give me a check up before we left to tie up some loose ends and would keep an eye on me while he was gone. Dad got back and said everything was fine at the base and said we should get going. Everyone left and I told Janet I would be back later that day to pick her up to go over to Ruth's and then Julia's. Jack gave me a look and I asked if she could give me a check up then. She said of course. I had to take finish up Jacks list of things to do and convinced Daniel to pick-up Mark on Thursday since Jack wouldn't be able to.
Dad and Major Davis had left Jack and me to give us a few minutes of privacy. We walked together to the elevator and Sgt. Siler was about to ask me a question but Jack grabbed me and yanked me into the elevator.
"I'm not kidding Sam no working while I'm gone. You haven't been eating properly and I want you healthy and glowing for the wedding. So promise me now you will not work on anything and if you get the urge to you give me a call so I can talk you out of it. They will survive I know they will so please honey leave work at work and make sure our wedding goes off without a hitch."
I promised and pulled him into a hug. The doors open and we moved to the first check point and onto the second elevator. In the elevator I grabbed him and started to kiss him whispering how much I was going to miss him and then I began to sing.
I could stay awake just to hear you breathing,
Watch you smile while you are sleeping,
While you are far away and dreaming,
I could spend my life in this sweet surrender,
I could stay lost in this moment forever,
Where a moment spent with you is a moment I treasure,
I don't want to close my eyes, I don't want to fall asleep,
Cause I miss you baby, And I don't want to miss a thing,
Cause even when I dream of you, the sweetest dream will never do,
I still miss you baby and I don't want to miss a thing
Lying close to you feeling your heart beating,
And I wondering what you are dreaming,
Wondering if it's me you are seeing,
Then I kiss your eyes and thank god we're together,
I just want to stay with you in this moment forever and forever
forever
And I don't want to miss one smile,
I don't want to miss one kiss,
I just want to be with you right here with you,
Just like this, I just want to hold you close,
I feel your heart so close to mine
And just stay here in this moment,
For all of the rest of time
I started to tear up realizing that he was going to be gone and I was going to be alone without him. He pulled me into his arms and kissed me and said that was a good one he wiped my tears and told me he'd be back before I knew it. I told him I was being silly and that the pressure of the wedding was just getting to me.
We got to the surface and Major Davis requested a car to drive them over to the plane that was waiting for them. He said we had a few minutes and told me that he'd keep an eye on Jack and make sure they got back on Thursday. I said I was holding him to that.
I gave dad a hug and he told me to let Julia know that he had to cancel lunch today. I raised my eyebrow and he said that she had invited him to lunch the next time he was in town and had called her yesterday to let her know he was in town. I told him that I would relay the message the car came and Dad and Major Davis got in Jack took my hand and kissed it and smiled.
"Just a couple of more days and you're going to be shackled to me for life. Hell you'll be so sick of having me around you might send me off world just to give yourself a break. I love you. I can't say it enough and just take it easy and no SGC projects while I'm gone okay sweetheart."
I kissed him and told him if I got the urge to work I'd call him. He got into the car and waved bye. I stood there and waited till I couldn't see the car any longer. I got into Jack's truck and drove off to finish his errands.
It was late afternoon when I drove back to the SGC to pick up Janet I called her but was told that SG9 had ran into some Jaffa and she was treating them. I went through all the security and went in search of Janet in the infirmary.
It turned out that SG9 and 12 were attacked on a planet that was supposed to be Jaffa free but full of naquada. They got lucky being able to get everyone back alive. I waved at Janet and she waved me to her office. I walked in and started to feel a little dizzy. I hadn't had any solid food only a large cup of coffee and an apple juice. I decided to ask Janet if we could eat here before we went to Ruth's. Daniel came in and asked if it was safe. I nodded yes and he could see that I was pale. He asked if I was okay and if he should go get Janet. I nodded no that I hadn't had any lunch and that I needed to eat something. He pulled me off the chair and said we were going to the commissary to get something to eat. He told Janet and she said she would met us there.
I had a sandwich with a cup of soup and red jell-o. Daniel raised an eyebrow and I said I missed Jack and that red was his favorite. He chuckled and said he understood. He asked if there was anything he could help me with and I asked if he could pick up Jack's tux for him and keep it at his place. Janet walked in looking tired and hungry she grabbed a sandwich and started to eat with us. Daniel relayed to her that I had a dizzy spell and was pale when he had came into her office. Janet gave me a quizzical look and I explained that I hadn't eaten and that was the cause of the dizziness. She was about to say something else when the Klaxon started to ring. No teams were off-world so we got up to see who was calling.
Getting to the control room General Hammond was surprised to see me and was about to say something but stopped when he was informed it was the Tok'ra.
They were asking for our help. They were calling from another planet since there new bases stargate was not functioning correctly and the program that I had installed was not working. I rolled my eyes and spoke up saying that Sgt Siler had gone last week to check out the system and everything was working correctly. They asked if Sgt Siler could come back to fix the problem since they had no ideal what was wrong.
The General nodded no that Sgt Siler and most of all the engineers were stationed at the new alpha site and were not to be disturbed. They then asked if I could come to fix the problem since it was my program that was not working correctly and they could not find out why the dial system was not working. Daniel and Janet both said no before I had a chance to answer as did Teal'c who had arrived and was standing behind us.
General Hammond agreed with them and I started to protest.
"Sir I'm going to be gone for two weeks. They will be vulnerable to any type of attack. I know the problem has to be a glitch or maybe the systems aren't interfacing its something so simple why make them wait when I could be in and out of there within and one hours time?"
The said no in unison again and Daniel said if I remembered what Jack had said.
"I don't think Jack would be too happy with you going off-world without him Sam. Why don't we wait to see if we can't send someone else."
The Tok'ra then said that they needed to get there gate working soon since the address was given to all there operatives and if an emergency came up and they needed to evacuate the base then they would be sitting ducks.
General Hammond contemplated this and I said it would be easy I 'd just have to go and fix it and be back. Jack wouldn't have to know and then everyone gets what they want.
"Major Carter I don't want to do this and you are not in any way obligated to do this but I have to look at the whole picture and I know Jack will not be happy with this but can you go and take care of this problem and be back within 6 hours that includes travel time to the planet?"
I told him it wasn't a problem and that if Jack got upset I would take all the heat. Daniel and Teal'c both said they were coming along to make sure I got there and back in one piece since they didn't want to be the one to tell Jack that I was off world.
The General relayed to the Tokra that SG1 would be there within an hour and if it could be fixed then they would if not someone else would return and try another solution. I went to go get suited up and Janet reminded me to come to the infirmary for my pre-evaluation.
I told Daniel to go to my lab and bring my laptop and the disks that were stored next to it. He gave me a puzzled look and I told him that I promised Jack that I wouldn't go to my lab an I didn't want to break my promise. He snorted and asked so where does going off world fall into because I could have sworn he asked you never to go off world without him. Sam you've got enough to worry about I don't understand didn't your dad just dial the new base to relay to them that he was going to be out of communication?
I told him maybe the gate started to act up after that. I told him we'd be back before dinner and that Jack wouldn't have to find out till latter. He went off to get me my laptop and I went to finish dressing. I went into the infirmary and saw Lou Ferretti getting checked up. I sat next to him and he said he was coming along also.
I told him it wasn't necessary that it was just a computer glitch and we would be back by dinner. He wouldn't take no for an answer and said that it's the least he could do for Jack. I thanked him and told him I'd met him at the gateroom.
Janet started my check up and said my pressure was a little high and drew some blood. She asked when was my last check up I told her 2 weeks ago but it was done by Dr. Warner. She couldn't see any notations in her chart and made a note to talk to Dr. Warner about it.
"I'll call Ruth and tell her were going to be late. You better get back her soon I'm avoiding all phone calls. If Jack calls I am not telling him you're off world. Better yet why don't you call him now and tell him what you're up to?"
I asked if she was finished and she said she was and told her I was going to borrow her phone since I only had a few minutes. I dialed and was sent directly to his voice mail. I sang him "looking through the eyes of love" and when I was done I taunted that I was up two songs on him and that if he'd wanted to give up he could I would let him bow out gracefully. I also said that I was going to be unattainable for a couple of hours and if I didn't get back to him not to panic.
"I love you flyboy don't you forget it and if anybody's going to be sick of being shackled its going to be you. I'll have you all to myself and no one or thing could keep us apart."
I hung up and waved bye to Janet and went to the Gateroom. Teal'c, Daniel and Ferretti were there and ready to go. We were going to the planet the Tok'ra had contacted us from and we would take a short ride over to the new Tok'ra base.
The wormhole was engaged and we started to walk up the ramp when General Hammond voice filled the room.
"Colonel Carter, you have a go for your mission we will expect you back in six hours. Please do not make me regret this decision and Teal'c if she can't fix it you have permission to drag her back is that understood."
Teal'c stopped and turned around bowed his head and said, "indeed".
We made it to the other side and got into a cargo ship the trip was quick and we made it to the base with no incident. We were greeted by Anise and Aldwin. We were shown to the control room. I was introduce to there head engineer. He had to be new because I remember not seeing him before.
His name was Vahe' he was very glad to meet us and I asked him where the problem was. He showed me the computer system and I started to work. Vahe' asked why I had not come the last time and why did we send someone as incompetent as Siler. I stopped and said that Siler was one of our best engineers and that I couldn't find a problem with the system yet.
He looked at Daniel, Teal'c and Ferretti and pointed at him and said "you are not part of SG1 where is Colonel O'Neill? Why did he not come with you? Is he ill."
He turned to Anise and she said that this was SG1 now that Colonel O'Neill was no longer going off world as often since he was need at the SGC.
Vahe' started to get nervous and I gave Teal'c a look. He picked up on Vahe' uneasiness and started to grip his staff weapon.
I finally found the problem and started to fix it. I told the guys we'd be back home within the hour. I showed Vahe' were they had err. They had changed certain specs and that was why it was not engaging the wormhole. I showed him how to fix the problem and told him that shouldn't happen again. He was thankful and said if we could stay and show him how to fix problems before they arise. Anise said that they should have a working DHD within the month so it was not necessary for me to show him this. I smiled at Anise and asked Teal'c to find Daniel so we could leave.
The bases alarms were going off and the building started to shake. I looked up to see Ferretti grab his P90 and telling me to leave my laptop and we were leaving now. Teal'c and Daniel came running and Vahe' was not dialing us out.
I screamed at him to dial up earth and to do it quickly as the base took another hit and parts of the ceiling were coming down. Ferretti pushed me out of the way as part of the roof collapsed.
Vahe' stared at us and sighed, "my master Ba'al will not be pleased at all I had promised him all of SG1 and the one he wants most is not among you. But, alas he will have to be satisfied with you three."
Anise had a zat and was about to shoot when Vahe' zatted her. He turned it on to us and we started to fire on him. He had a force field and everything was bouncing off of it. He started to shot and we ducked for cover. Ferretti was next to me and asked who was this guy and what did he want with Jack. I told him I didn't know but we had to dial the gate and get the hell out of here.
I heard staff blast and looked to see Teal'c trying to draw his fire. Ferretti said he'd go behind him and try to disarm him I agreed and started to fire also. Ferretti took him by surprise and started to dial the stargate.
We heard the familiar sounds of metal clanking in step. Jaffa were coming and we needed to get out of there asap.
The wormhole engaged and Daniel sent the GDO code through. I radioed to General Hammond that we were coming in hot and that the Tok'ra base had been compromised. Before I could say anything else the Jaffa arrived and we started to fire.
Teal'c and Daniel were closes to the gate and I was ordering them to go through. They wouldn't leave and somehow gotten close enough to Ferretti and me. We made a plan to run for it and I told Ferretti to cover Daniel while me and Teal'c laid down cover fire. Everything was going to work out we were holding our own and Daniel and Ferretti were almost at the gate when I saw something at the corner of my eye it was Vahe'. He must have woken and was aiming a staff weapon at Daniel and Ferretti ready to shot.
I turned and started to fire at him but he had regenerated his forcefield. I screamed at Daniel and Ferretti to watch out but was to late.
Daniel saw the danger and pushed Ferretti aside getting hit on the side by the staff blast. Ferretti pulled out his knife and threw it at Vahe' and he was stunned and his force field was down. I yelled at Ferretti to get through the gate and to take Daniel with him. He looked torn and I ordered him to get through the gate and he picked up Daniel. More Jaffa were coming through the door and I turned and said to go. I turned around to help Teal'c and heard the water ripple knowing that Ferretti had followed my order I told Teal'c to disengage the gate we couldn't let them get through and he understood.
The last thing I remember was the stun look on Teal'c's face as I heard the zat behind me and then darkness.
