Jack got up and walked to the door as the bell had rung interrupting his
game. He pulled the door open.
"Jacob? Where's Sam she's got a key you know."
"She's gone for a walk in the park. I've got your milk and cereal." Jacob held out a bag to him.
"Okay you'd better come in then." Jack stepped back to let him in. "Is Sam okay walking in the park never really seemed her thing?"
"She just needs to think for a while, plus she's been coped up in here for the last few days apart from her visit to the base."
"Jake, I went to Minnesota for two weeks and the records say she didn't leave the base once, not even off world." Jack countered.
"Science is like a comfort blanket for her. Once you get her started she won't stop until she has too."
"I noticed." Jack said as he sat down. "But she's okay right?"
"She confused, she told me what happened."
"Ah."
"So I think the three of us need to have a little talk."
"Jake, I don't think she wants to talk about it, she wants to ignore it like we always do." Jack tried to cover.
"I wasn't talking about Sam, I was talking about you me and Selmak she has an opinion on everything."
"I'm betting she does. Do you want a beer?" Jack asked.
"I thought you were on an alcohol ban?"
"Doc didn't want me mixing alcohol with any of the medication she's had me on to keep my temperature down. I stopped taking it when my fever disappeared yesterday. Besides which I have some beer hidden where Sam doesn't know about."
"Beers good." Jack went and rescued two beers from his secret stash.
"So?" He said as he sat down and Jacob a bottle of beer.
"So." Jacob echoed.
"I'm not going to bring her up on charges." Jack said to break the silence that ensued their last comments.
"I didn't think for a minute that you would. Sam's not as tough as she likes to make out. Especially when it comes to her heart."
"I met Jonas and most of the alien jerks who seem to like her."
"Jonas was never that stable in the first place, special ops fried his brain long before he met Sam, but she thought he needed her. I never liked him, neither did Mark, but nothing we said would change her mind, she had to come to that realisation for herself. Luckily she's a strong enough person to fight back when he hit her."
"He hit her?" Jack scowled. "I should have shot him and strung him up a tree."
"Getting him to jump through the gate and hitting the iris was punishment enough. I like you Jack, you make her laugh and it's nice to see her smiling all the time. She needs someone like you in her life."
"I'm not planning on going anywhere just yet. SG-1 is family and I don't think any of us would give up on that without a fight."
"It's nice to know she has people who love her."
"Jake, where's this conversation going?"
"Jack, whatever you do don't hurt her, otherwise thanks to Selmak I know some very interesting torture methods."
"Jake, whatever I feel or don't feel neither of us would act on it, what we do is too important and I would never endanger her career she's too good at what she does to put her in a position where she had to decide something like that."
"You're a good man Jack." Jacob downed a sip of beer. "Enough on that topic. Selmak would like to know if you have any Simpson's episodes she can watch. She seems to have become addicted last time we were here."
"I can help there. Sam got me the latest set on video so I didn't annoy her while she worked."
"Maybe you can explain to me why yellow people are funny because Selmak hasn't convinced me yet."
"Simpson's is a way of life Jake, let me explain.."
