"Cheesecake." "Jack said as he entered Sam's lab."And a fork."
"Thanks. Did you have a nice lunch?"
"It would have been better if you were there." He set the cheesecake down and picked up a doohickey and started to fiddle with it and then glanced at Sam who shook her head so he put it down. "So what did Dr Lowell say?"
"I'm not going mad. But I'm slightly concerned about her she thinks you're charming."
"And you don't?" Jack said sitting down.
"Given that you're my CO it would be inappropriate to comment on that." She said winking at him.
"So did she say anything else?"
"I have to resolve how the changes in my personal life affect my professional life and learn to accept that I can't control everything."
"I've been telling you that for years. What did Felger want to present?"
"You don't want to know."
"That bad?"
"I know I come up with some slightly off the wall suggestions but we haven't made enough advancements to even contemplate his idea."
"Someone who can out think you? Gees I never thought I would see the day."
"Did you want something Colonel?"
"I just wanted to know what you wanted for dinner tonight. I've got to run to the store when we're done for the day."
"Surprise me. As long as nothing else goes wrong I should be out of here by 1900."
"Is it likely too?"
"Where do you think we've been working for the last four years? This place is Murphy's law if anything can go wrong it will go wrong."
"And with that positive attitude I'll let you get back to it. Call me when you leave and I'll put dinner on."
"Thank you."
"You know where I am." He left her to get on with her work.

"Major can we .?" Dr Felger said as he followed Sam down the corridors of the SGC.
"Look Dr Felger we can't go forth with your idea because it will take too much time, effort and money for a system at the point is not viable. I'm going home otherwise my dinner will be ruined. If you want to say anything else put it in a memo and I'll read it when I get a chance. But for now it's a no."
"Is everything okay Major?" Hammond asked as he came across them.
"Yes sir. I was just explaining to Dr Felger that his idea isn't feasible at the moment before I head home for the night."
"I see. Major, can you tell Colonel O'Neill that the team leader's meeting has been moved up until 0730 tomorrow?"
"Of course sir. Goodnight."
"Goodnight Major." Hammond walked off.
"Major Carter."
"Goodnight Dr Felger." Sam stepped into the elevator and closed the door before he could follow.

"Uhh." Sam let out a sigh as she opened the door and kicked off her shoes.
"Tough day at the office dear?" Jack asked.
"You have no idea." Sam sat down on one of the dinning room chairs as Jack stood in the kitchen doorway.
"Why what happened since I left?"
"Felger."
"What did he do now?"
"He won't take no for an answer. I've spent the last three quarters of an hour trying to get rid of him."
"How'd you finally manage to give him the slip?"
"I started to leave and we bumped into the General, who wants me to tell you your meeting got moved to 0730 tomorrow. While Hammond was leaving I ducked inside the elevator."
"Dinner will be ready in fifteen minutes."
"Great, what are we having?" Sam asked.
"Can stew." Jack replied.
"Can stew?" Sam questioned.
"I couldn't decide what to make and I tend to buy things that either freeze or come in cans so I just chuck a few cans in a pot and end you end up with can stew."
"Why not? I'm going to take a shower."
"Okay. Do you want a beer with dinner?" He asked.
"You read my mind."
