"This is nice." Sam said as she lay with her head on a cushion on Jack's
lap, his hand gently stroking her hair.
"What's nice?" Jack asked.
"This, just sitting here not having to worry about the Goa'uld or saving the world."
"Umm. We could do this more often if you moved in. Have you given it anymore thought?" Sam sat up.
"Jack, as much as I'd love to I don't think it's a good idea right now. I have to get used to the changes in our relationship in my head before I can take that step."
"Okay. Why don't you lay back down?" Sam did.
"You never did tell me how my dad reacted, other than agreeing."
"He said as long as you're happy he's okay with it, but he'd prefer it if I married you and we started work on getting him some more grandchildren."
"He didn't really say that did he?" Sam asked.
"Yeah, he did. So what do you think?"
"About getting married and having kids? Sure somewhere down the line. Right now the fight with the Goa'uld is too important." Sam replied.
"So what you're saying is you need time?"
"Time is good." Sam yawned.
"I can wait. But I think it's time you were in bed Major."
"Can we stay here for a little while longer?"
"Sure."

"O'Neill." Jack said as he snagged the ringing phone the next morning. "Yeah, she's here. Do you need to talk to her?...... She'll be there in forty minutes.. Yeah bye." He hung up the phone. Sam was still soundly asleep. "Sam. Sam honey, you need to wake up."
"What?" She said groggily as she awoke.
"Sam, you need to get up, they need you at the base."
"Why what happened?"
"Felger's computer set off a virus which crashed the base network. Everything is offline except the dialling computer which you isolated. Now I don't have any idea what all that means but it doesn't sound good."
"It isn't. What time is it?"
"Almost five."
"Go back to sleep. You don't have to be at the base for another couple hours."
"I can come with you." Jack offered.
"I wouldn't. Most of the base is controlled by the computer, so it means the base basically shuts down. The doors, the lights, the elevator, the swipe card system. The only area isolated is the gate dialling computer and the controls for the doors to the gate room. This is going to take days." She kissed him. "I'll see you later."

"What exactly did you do?" Sam asked as she sat down with a set of lamps while she taped frantically at the keyboard.
"It was just a little virus I been working on, I hit the wrong key and it sent it out along the base network."
"And do you have an anti-virus?"
"No. I hadn't finished writing the virus yet?"
"Why would you even think of writing a virus on Air Force property?" She asked.
"It was something I was doing to pass the time."
"Put him the brig and hold him there." Sam instructed the SF's who took Felger by the arms.
"I'm not in the Air Force you can't throw me in the brig."
"It's the safest place for you. They'll protect you so I don't kill you."
"Quick through me in the brig." Sam nodded and the SF's escorted him out.
"Major, what the hell is going on?" Hammond demanded as he entered.
"Dr Felger was creating a computer virus on his computer which he accidentally set off onto the base computer network. It's shut everything down except the gate and the related systems."
"Can you fix it?" He asked.
"Yes sir, but it's going to take a few days to recover everything. I'd recommend that we recall all off world teams and shut the gate and base down until I can rectify the problem."
"You believe that's the best solution?"
"Yes sir. With the elevators and the swipe card systems out the base won't run effectively, having to move everything up and down the stairs will cause problems."
"What personnel will you need?"
"I'll make you a list sir, with those and a few SF's, we should be fine." Sam replied.
"You're willing to take command?"
"Yes sir."
"By the way what did you do with Dr Felger?" Hammond asked.
"I had the SF's throw him in the brig."
"We only have three teams off world I'll have them recalled immediately, start on that list and get on of the SF's to recall them."
"Yes sir. May I suggest you send Teal'c to stay with Daniel for the next few days?"
"I'll have someone arrange that. Carry on Major?"
