"Make yourself at home." Jack said as he opened the door to his house. He
had protested loudly at Sam driving his car but had finally given in when
the guards had come to ask if there was a problem.
"Sir, stop a second." Sam placed a hand on Jack's head. "You've got a fever. I'll run you an oat bath it should help stop the itching and bring down your temperature. If not Janet gave me something that will."
"If you're going to act like my mother you should call me Jack."
"If I start acting like your Mom you can take me out and have Teal'c shoot me." Sam sighed before mumbling a reminder to herself. "I'm doing this for the greater good."
"What greater good would that be?" Jack asked hearing her.
"We'll lets see, I'm saving the world from people attacking us because you made them sick. I'm saving the infirmary staff from having a nervous breakdown from having a cranky Colonel with the chicken pox as a patient." She paused before continuing. "I'm saving the base from the wrath of said Colonel and I'm donating my hazard pay to the memorial fund."
"You're getting hazard pay for this?"
"Janet and General Hammond think this is a hazardous situation which could affect my mental health, so yes I'm getting hazard pay, now sit down while I run your bath and don't scratch."
"Yes Mom." Sam scowled at him before heading off to the bathroom.

"You have two options you can either go to bed or curl up on the couch and watch TV."
"Watch TV." Jack mumbled.
"Fine, put this under your tongue and don't complain." Sam instructed as she handed him the thermometer. "If you spike a fever over 106 I have to put you in an ice bath and call and ambulance."
"More artic training baths." He muttered under his breath.
"Thermometer now, then sit and watch TV."
"You're becoming awfully bossy Major." Jack pointed out.
"I can leave sir, I'm sure Lt Simmons or Airman Peters can come and stay with you and I can get back to the base and run the gate diagnostic and the other experiments I had planned."
"Who?" He didn't focus her leaving just the fact he didn't know who Airman Peters, not that he was an actual airman the base as far as Sam knew but in fact one of the corpsmen at one of the bases she'd lived on as a child, but Jack didn't need to know that.
"Exactly. So either you can do as I tell you or I'll try and find someone else or there's the hospital. It's your choice."
"Fine."
"Good." Sam took the thermometer and stuck it in his mouth. "Leave it there until it beeps. I'm going to make a phone call."
