"Hey Cass." Sam said as she opened the door that evening and gave the young woman a hug.

"Sam. Are you feeling better?"

"Apart from a headache, I never felt sick at all, it was just your Mom who decided I need to have a week off work." Sam winked at her.

"Is Daniel here yet, I wanted to show him my paper, I got an A+?"

"They're out the back. Daniel's trying to convince Jack of something, Teal'c's refereeing so I thought I'd come inside for a drink." Cassie skipped off in search of three uncle figures. "Come in Janet."

"You look well."

"I was never that sick in the first place. Come in." Janet stepped in and Sam closed the door. "Since they're all busy now would be a good time to check the scabs."

"Let's do it."

"Hey what's the verdict?" Jack asked as Sam and Janet came out to join them.

"She can go back to work the day after tomorrow."

"So the influx of airmen dropping things off will stop?" Jack asked.

"It was only twice." Sam scolded.

"What about Siler?" Jack asked.

"He didn't come drop anything off. He came over because he needed some advice on how to use something I had invented which makes me the expert on it and it would have taken too long to explain on the phone."

"I stand corrected."

"And a round of applause for Samantha Carter for getting Jack to admit defeat in less than a minute." Daniel teased, Janet and Cassie joined in; Teal'c gave his usual strange Tau'ri look.

"Daniel, barbequed archaeologist is starting to sound good." Jack said straight faced.

"Sam, are you sure I don't need to make you an appointment to see Dr Mackenzie?" Janet asked nodding her head towards Jack as to the reason why she may need an appointment with the base psychiatrist.

"Give it another few weeks and ask me again." Sam said.

"I thought we got rid of Mackenzie for the month." Jack said.

"He's always willing to come back when he's need. Would you like me to set an appointment for you Jack?" Janet asked winking at him.

"I've seen him for my bi-monthly psych evaluation thanks."

"Maybe there are something's you want to talk about that aren't related to your psych evaluation." Cassie suggested playing along.

"I'm perfectly sane thank you and I don't need to see a shrink."

"I wouldn't be so sure about that Jack; everybody has to slightly insane to do what we do."

"What is this pick on Jack day? If you don't be nice Teal'c and I will eat all this food by ourselves."

"And here I was thinking we had a deal about you making everyone dinner." Sam said without emotion. Jack looked at her and knew she was serious.

"Fine, everyone gets to eat." Jack said giving in.

"How much longer?" Sam asked.

"About another fifteen minutes." Jack replied.

"Good, Daniel there's something you'd like on TV." Sam headed back into the house. Janet looked at Jack.

"Don't ask me. She found the history channel and she's been watching it a lot while she works. I can just about squeeze an episode of the Simpson's here and there."

"Cool, I'll go and watch too." Cassie ran inside.

"So how's she been?"

"Apart from obsession with the history channel and eating practically everything in sight. She's been herself when she didn't fall asleep, which only for the first three days."

"I think that's something to do with Jollinar. It changed her immune system, since the Tok'ra aren't affected by the chicken pox, she may have an anti-body that makes it heal quicker."

"It's a theory. How's everything at the base?"

"Quiet for the most part. Ferretti's mission didn't go to well at first given the fact that he got shot in the arm but apart from that."

"Ferretti okay?"

"Being fussed over by the nurses in the infirmary, he's having a terrible time."

"When I last saw Major Ferretti, he seemed to be having a most enjoyable time." Teal'c said.

"She was being sarcastic Teal'c."

"I must partake in another refreshment." Teal'c headed back inside.

"How's everything else going?" Janet asked.

"Good. But I think we need to work on it when neither of us is sick."

"Jack, you've been working on it since the day you met. Just don't hurt her or I'll be forced to do every painful procedure I know without any painkillers. I'm going to get a drink, call when it's ready."
