Sam hesitated before knocking on Jack's front door. She waited for him to
open it.
"Hi, come in." He said as he pulled the door open. He had a tea - towel flung over his shoulder. "Make yourself at home, I've got to go and make sure the spaghetti sauce doesn't burn." He back away from the door. Sam had a slight confused look on her face as she closed the door. "What?" Jack asked as he glanced over his shoulder "What were you expecting?"
"Sorry."
"You think I only know how to make BBQ?" Jack asked.
"That and ordering takeaway. Sorry but that's what we usually eat when we come over here."
"I can cook." Jack stated. "Would you like a drink? Dinner will be another fifteen minutes."
"I'm fine thanks. By the way thank you for the flowers they're beautiful."
"Thank you for cheesecake. But what was that about Janet wanting to know if I needed psychiatric assessment?"
"Actually she just wanted to know if she needed to find some big needles for when you needed you next physical. Janet's very protective of her friends." Sam stood in the doorway of the kitchen.
"So I noticed." He said as he stirred the sauce. "What did you tell her?"
"She said she'd hold off after I told her about the flowers, she said something about not receiving flowers for a long time, so I offered to suggest to Daniel that he should send her flowers."
"Knowing Danny he would."
"Daniel is just taking the time, just don't tease him about it because Teal'c has been teaching him some more hand-to-hand and he can almost hit the target every time on the shooting range." Sam advised him.
"Not what he was expecting when he decided to become an archaeologist. All he wanted to do was study his rocks and now he saves the world for a living."
"It pays the bills. Besides saving gets the fringe benefit of him actually getting to meet culture which died out on Earth."
"Are you sure you don't want a drink?"
"I'm fine." Sam glanced down at the counter and noticed the amendments book. "What's this?" Jack looked across to see what she had in her hand.
"The SGC's amended Air Force regulations." He replied.
"If they got amended in 1998, how is it that no-one knows about it?" Sam asked.
"It's basically just lessens or allows wriggle room in the regulations to take into account what we do for a living. Hammond thought I should read it."
"Why doesn't anyone else know I mean we could all be breaking regulations and not know about it?" Sam asked.
"Hammond said it was easier to keep the base running smoothly if everyone thought they had to stick to the normal Air Force regulations. The amendments just allow everyone a little more leeway, go ahead and read it. But you haven't broken any regulations that I know of. Not that if you did we couldn't come up with an explanation as to why you did. Something about overwork or stress or I'm sure Janet could come up with an alien virus you just happened to be infected with." He teased.
"I'll keep that in mind sir." Sam flicked through the book until she found the amendment to the regulation her father had told her about.
