"Colonel Baby Sitting Services." Sam said as she answered the phone three
days later.
"Sorry, I might have the wrong number I was looking for Jack O'Neill." A female voice replied.
"Sorry long day. This is Colonel O'Neill's house. He's asleep at the moment."
"Could you possibly wake him I need to talk to him?" The voice asked.
"The Colonel is sick at the moment and it's probably best not to wake him as he's been restless and the doctor wants him to get as much sleep as possible. If I could take your name I'll get him to call you back as soon as he wakes up."
"It's Sara O'Neill, Jack's ex-wife. Who are you and what's wrong with him?"
"Sorry Mrs O'Neill, I'm Major Carter, we meet a few years ago. I'm on the Colonel's team."
"I see, and what's wrong with him Major?" Sara inquired again.
"The Colonel caught the chicken pox when he took the daughter of the base doctor and a few of her friends out for the day. Since he's contagious he can't stay on the base so they sent him home. But since he's an adult an chicken pox is more dangerous he needed someone to stay with him and I was the only one available."
"So let me guess he's acting like a child and his sarcasm has gone into overdrive."
"And he won't stop scratching." Sam added. "So he had oven mitts taped to his hands."
"How long have you been staying with him?" Sara inquired.
"Three days. Dr Fraiser says he has to stay home for at least two weeks."
"I've had the chicken pox, so how about I come over tomorrow for a few hours and stay with him so you can get out and have some space, plus it would give me a chance to talk to him."
"That would be great Mrs O'Neill, if you have the time and you don't mind."
"Please call me Sara."
"Then I'm Sam."
"Would ten am be convenient?" Sara asked.
"It'll be fine, he'll be plenty cranky by then. Would you still like me to get him to call you when he wakes up?"
"No don't mention it, we'll spring it on him tomorrow."
"The Colonel isn't a big fan of surprises." Sam reminded her.
"Let me worry about that Sam. I'll see you tomorrow."
"Okay goodbye Sara."
"Goodbye Sam."

A/N I know it's short but I needed to end the chapter there. The next one will be longer and there will be shippyness in up coming chapters but it takes a while to get there another chapter will follow.
