"Carter." Sam said as she snatched up the phone.
"Ma'am, your 3.30 wake up call."
"Thank you." Sam yawned and put the phone down. "Jack, it's time to get up. Jack."
"It's too early. We should sleep more." He groaned.
"Well you'd have had more sleep if you hadn't insisted we consummate the marriage so many times."
"I didn't hear you objecting." He sat up and yawned.
"Who said I was objecting. You're the one who was complaining about not having enough sleep." She gave him a quick kiss. "I'm going to take a quick shower."
"We could share to conserve water."
"Nice of you to think of the environment but we need to be out of here in fifteen minutes. I'll be five minutes at most."
"Okay." He laid back down.
"Don't go back to sleep."
"Okay."

"Coffee." Jack groaned as they walked into the lobby.
"Here." Daniel handed him a cup. "Teal'c went and got it while I was in the shower."
"Teal'c, if we weren't against false god's I'd worship you right now."
"Seriously it's only 0345. You can sleep on the flight back this afternoon." Sam said.
"Some of us don't function well on a few hours sleep." Daniel yawned.
"This should take a few hours at most, if the tests work out I'll have them transport it back to Colorado for the display for General Vidrine."
"What time is out transport out of here?" Jack asked with a yawn.
"Either 1520 or 1740 depending on when we finish."

Sam un-strapped her seatbelt and walked to the front of the plane.
"Can I help you Major?" The Staff Sergeant asked.
"Do you have a couple of blankets? Daniel and the Colonel fell asleep. They've been up since early this morning."
"I'll see what I can ma'am." He replied.
"Thank you." Sam walked back into the main cabin. "Hey Teal'c do you need room to kel'noreem? There is more space at the back of cabin less seats."
"That is most helpful Major Carter." Teal'c unbuckled his seatbelt and moved to the back of the plane.
"Here ma'am." The Staff Sgt brought her two blankets.
"Thank you." She laid the first one over Daniel and gently tucked it around him. She took the other blanket and laid it over Jack then dropped a kiss on his forehead. She glanced back at the Staff Sgt. "Don't worry about it I'm his wife."
"Yes ma'am."
"So how long have you been in the Air Force?" Sam asked trying to make conversation.
"Almost twelve years ma'am."
"Have you always flown on transports?"
"No ma'am I used to be a PT trainer at boot camp but I fell from the tower and one of my ribs punctured my lung. My fitness level wasn't high enough so I transferred to transport." He explained.
"Do you miss it?"
"It's different, but this has its challenges too." Jack started to shuffle in his seat; Sam glanced at him, his face screwed up in his sleep.
"Can you give us a minute?" Sam asked.
"I'll go back to my seat, let me know if you need anything ma'am. We should land in an hour."
"Thank you." Sam sat down next to Jack and put her hand on his. "Shush. It's okay your safe." She whispered. "I'm here. Shush." Jack calmed down.
"He okay?" Daniel asked waking up.
"He's been having the odd nightmare since his friend died. He'll be fine when he wakes up and won't remember a thing."
"You okay dealing with it?" He asked.
"He only has them once in a while. He'll be fine and so will I."
"Where did Teal'c go?" Daniel asked realising he wasn't sat next to him.
"He went to the back there's more space for him to kel'noreem back there. Why don't you go back to sleep?"
"You sure you don't want the company?" He asked as he yawned.
"I'll just sit here and figure out how to tell the General and my Dad we got married."
"Let Jack do it, General Hammond is used to him doing impulsive things."
"And I'm don't?"
"Getting married at a few hours notice is pretty impulsive. But we like you this way you keep his feet on the ground."
"I'm not sure if that's a compliment or an insult."
"It's a compliment."
