"Lunch." Jack said as he strolled into her lab.
"Colonel, I don't have time to go to lunch today." Sam said.
"I know, so I brought lunch to you." He held out a tray with sandwiches and drinks on it.
"Thank you. Did you bring coffee too sir?" She asked.
"Gift from Daniel." He placed a thermos on the table.
"Jack." Jacob said as he re-entered the lab.
"Jake. I brought lunch."
"That's useful but Sam should really take a proper break and maybe get some." Sam shook her head at him. ".coffee."
"Have you two been introduced?" Jack asked. Sam glanced at him. "I've got to get back, I promised to help Teal'c with something. Take five minutes and eat, that's an order." He stuffed his hands in his pockets.
"Yes sir. I'll probably be late home."
"I'll stop by before I'll leave. See you later Jake."
"Bye Jack." Jacob waited until Jack was gone. "What was that all about?"
"He doesn't need to know about me not sleeping last night. I'll have an early night tomorrow, I've got the afternoon off so it'll be fine."
"What are you doing tomorrow afternoon?" Jacob asked.
"I'm going to see Emily." She replied.
"Who is Emily?"
"She's my support therapist, sort of. She works with the female recruits at the academy. General Hammond got me an appointment to talk to her after your little mix up with weapons and traps. I made an appointment to see her tomorrow to talk over what happened with the X-301. Jack doesn't know about that either and I'd rather you didn't tell him."
"Sam he's your husband, you should tell him these things."
"He's also highly protective. If he thought I was too tired he'd convince General Hammond I should go home. I'm not going to stop doing my job because I can stay awake for forty-eight no problems. If he knew I was going to see Emily, he'd worry that I'm going to try and bolt again. I'll tell him afterwards. Now I'm under orders to eat." She picked up a sandwich and bit into it.
"Sam, being married means being able to trust each other through the good times and the bad times. It also means being able to worry about the other person."
"Dad, I really don't need you giving me advice on being married right now. Can I eat so we can finish this and I can go home at some point?"

"How are we doing?" Jack strolled into the lab at 1900.
"We've ascertained it's not dangerous and it's not going to blow up the base." Sam said.
"Damn, and here I was hoping for a few weeks off while they rebuilt the base. Any ideas what it does?" Sam flicked a switch and it started humming. "Ah. So any ideas what time you'll be finishing?"
"It'll be late." Sam replied.
"If you're going to be any later than one, give me a call and stay here for the night."
"Okay." She smiled.
"You know that thing is almost as annoying as humming thing I built when I had the Ancient repository of knowledge downloaded into my brain."
"It couldn't be that simple." Sam said.
"What?" Jack questioned.
"Sam?" Jacob asked.
"Sgt?" Sam yelled.
"Yes ma'am." He arrived at her door very quickly.
"Can you go as see if Dr Lopplen is still here? If he is can you tell him I need the Naqquadah dust right away. If he's left, can you find out where he secured and get it for me?"
"Right away ma'am. Sirs." He turned and left.
"What are you thinking?" Jacob asked.
"When Jack had the repository in his brain he built a device which gave the Stargate enough extra power so that it could dial an eighth symbol so he could get to the Asguard home world to get help." Sam explained.
"What does that have to do with this box?"
"After the dialling out the device burnt out and we could get it to work again. Then the Quantum Mirror brought a Kowalski and an alternate me from an alternate reality here looking for help. The only way to help them save their reality was to introduce them to the Asguard. To do that we had to reactivate the device."
"And that had something to do with the decay rate of Naqquadah." Jack recalled.
"You remembered that?" Sam questioned.
"Unfortunately yes."
"What does this have to do with the box?" Jacob asked.
"The Ancients built the gate network." Jack supplied. "If the box hums it could be to do with the Ancients and therefore Naqquadah. So she's going to throw Naqquadah dust at it, to see if it will react." Jacob looked at him shocked.
"Dad, you really didn't think I'd marry someone even the remotest part stupid did you? He's very smart; he just hides it as a tactical advantage."
"Do you have to tell everyone that?" Jack asked in Arabic.
"Yes. Credit is due where credit's due." She replied in the same language.
"In English please." Jacob replied. "And when did you start speaking whatever that was?"
"Arabic. Jack's teaching me." Sam supplied.
"You speak Arabic?"
"Amongst other things yes." Jack replied.
"And you can't learn Goa'uld because?"
"What's the point? Jaffa Kree! usually gets me out most situations." He said with a shrug. "Give me a call to let me know what's happening."
"Will do."
