"So what else where you think of this afternoon that had you so
distracted?"
"When I was packing my things up to leave yesterday, Jack said something that threw me a bit."
"What?"
"He asked me to stay."
"Considering that your car was in the base parking lot, it was probably easier for you to stay the night and him to give you a ride this morning rather than waiting for him to pick you up or catching a cab."
"No, he wanted me to STAY!" Sam emphasised the word stay.
"As in?" Janet questioned.
"Move in, live together stay."
"Wow. That's a big step what did you say?"
"That he was just reacting to the situation, that we had jobs where we had to be responsible and us dating, although it wasn't against the regulations anymore, looks bad enough with out us living together. Then he managed to seduce me into promising to think about it."
"That's one hell of a coercion method."
"Umm. I also sent him into the lion's den." Sam said.
"How?"
"I told him I'd think about it if he told Dad about us and to ask his opinion about us living together."
"I'd pay to see that conversation, it's got to beat Teal'c asking Jack his intentions hands down." Janet said with a chuckle.
"It was the only counter argument I could think of at the time. I wasn't expecting Dad to visit so soon."
"So do you want to live with him?" Janet asked.
"I honestly don't know. I like being independent but it's been fun for the last few weeks and we both sleep better when the other is around. But then again this is moving all too fast, we've only been together a few weeks."
"Sam, you've been working on this for four years the last few weeks is just a culmination of that."
"So what do you think I should do?" Sam asked.
"Follow your heart." Janet simply said.
"Janet, we're scientists we do things based on hypothesis and previous results. We think with our heads and have to react to that way."
"This isn't some scientific theory you need to prove or disprove. You love Jack and he loves you, that out ways the need to use your head. When it comes to love you have to think with your heart. Trust your instincts and you'll be fine."
"Thanks I needed to hear that."
"Think it over, you have time, you don't need to make a decision today."

Jack sat humming Monty Python's 'Always Look on the Bright Side of Life', while kicking a rock.
"Jack!!" Daniel snapped.
"What?" Jack replied.
"Stop humming, you're breaking my concentration."
"I was humming?"
"Unfortunately yes."
"Jack, come on we'll go and check the perimeter." Jacob said.
"Fine. Teal'c watch Daniel, make sure he doesn't get into trouble and don't let him touch anything."
"Jack!!!"
"Daniel don't touch anything, just translate so we can find the weapon, destroy the Goa'uld and I can get home in time for the Simpson's."
"Sam will tape the Simpson's for you." Daniel said.
"Do you really think she'll leave her lab while we're away?" Jack asked.
"Janet will make sure she doesn't work too hard. She's just back from sick leave."
"Daniel, she sleeps at best five six hours a night normally. She'll be at the base working and she won't go home because work will distract her from the fact that we're here and she's there."
"Jack, let's go." Jacob said.
"Fine, we'll be back soon."
