"Sam what are you doing back here?" Janet asked as she saw her in the
commissary. "I thought you left hours ago."
"I did. But someone managed to delete half the predictive dialling program." She said as she drank her coffee. "I thought I'd take a break for half an hour and get some dinner before I went back to fixing it. Shouldn't you be home by now anyway?"
"A couple of SG-14 came down with something, so I decided to stay. Cassie's spending the night with a friend anyway. You don't look too unhappy about having to work."
"My mother-in-law turned up on the door step."
"Ah. You haven't met her before have you?" Janet asked.
"No. We've spoken on the phone lots and Annabelle is a really nice woman it's just I would have liked a little advanced warning."
"Jack didn't know she was coming either?" Janet inquired.
"No. Apparently every time she calls saying she wants to come and visit he tells her it's a bad time for work and not to come. So she decided if she just turned up he couldn't say no. She wanted to meet me."
"How long is she staying for?" Janet asked.
"A week I think. Slight problem though, we're supposed to be going to PX9 780 the day after tomorrow for three days."
"Ah."
"Yeah. Ah. So when I got the call I sort of high-tailed it out of there leaving Jack to deal with it. When I left he was explaining to her that he couldn't ask the Air Force to move the trip just because she'd come to visit."
"I would have loved to see him try to explain that to the General." Janet said.
"Me too. Now Colonel why is it that you wish to postpone the mission?" She said in her best General tone.
"Er. Sir, I have a situation. I can't. er." Janet tried to impersonate Jack.
"Colonel." Sam prompted.
"For cryin' out loud sir, my Mom came to visit okay." They both couldn't help but burst out laughing.
"What's so funny?" Daniel asked coming towards them with a cup of coffee in his hands.
"Nothing." Janet managed to spit out as she tried to control herself.
"Annabelle decided to drop by for an unexpected visit." Sam said.
"Annabelle as in Jack's Mom Annabelle?" Daniel questioned.
"The very same."
"It's good that you'll finally get to meet her."
"Daniel, as much as I like Annabelle she has bad timing, we're supposed to be going on a mission in two days and she wants to stay for a week." "Oh."
"Yes oh."
"Sam, why are you here if Annabelle is here?" Daniel asked.
"Someone who will remain nameless at this point broke the predictive dialling program so I got a called so I came to fix it. Besides Jack should be able to have a nice quiet visit with his mother."
"Sam, did Jack head home yet?" Ferretti came up and asked. "Some of us were going for a drink."
"He's at home, he'd probably like to go for a drink but his mother came for a visit."
"The dreaded mother-in-law. Have you met her yet?" He asked.
"I was there when she arrived." Sam replied.
"And you're back here that says something for how well it went."
"Actually we get on pretty well. It's just she has bad timing and they need me to fix something so I had to come back."
"She didn't walk in when you were." He started.
"No of course not." Sam cut him off before he could finish his sentence. "We have a mission in a couple of days. Hey Ferretti you're not going anywhere until next week, how would you like to mother-in-law sit?"
"Isn't there a Goa'uld palace I could go and invade by myself unarmed?" He asked. They all laughed.
"If I fix the computer and find one I'll let you know. I'd better get back to work, it's going to take another couple hours."
"She should be asleep by the time you get home." Daniel pointed out.
"Who says I'm going home? I promised Jack I wouldn't drive home late, not that I haven't done it thousands of times before, so I'll just crash in my quarters."
