"Jack, be quiet." Sam whispered as they crept around the house the next
morning. "Don't wake your Mom."
"Sam, it's almost 0600 I'm still half asleep and I haven't had any coffee yet." He groaned.
"I'm making it, but we need to leave in ten minutes so we'll have to grab breakfast at the base."
"Great. Hopefully we'll get there before Teal'c eats it all." Sam smiled. The light switched on and feet shuffled down the stairs.
"What are you both doing up at this hour?" Annabelle asked.
"Sorry did we wake you?" Sam apologised.
"It's doesn't matter. So what are you doing up?" She asked.
"We have to head for the base. We have a mission briefing at 0800 and then we ship out at 1000. I was going to leave you a note." Sam replied. "Did you want some coffee?"
"It's too early for coffee. Are you always up at this time?" She asked.
"That depends. Jack usually stays in bed until at least seven, but I'm usually at the base by 0630."
"Morning Mom." Jack said.
"Morning Jonathan."
"We should be back in three days but that could be extended. If it is I'll get Janet to call you. Her number is number three on the speed dial, if you need anything."
"So where are you going?" Annabelle asked.
"Mom, you know better than to ask. It's classified."
"Coffee." Sam handed him a cup.
"Thanks. Mom as soon as I've drunk this we have to leave. You have keys to the house, my car keys are on the table, as Sam said Janet's on speed dial. Hopefully when we get back and we've written our reports we should have a day or two downtime, but it's the best we can do. It was really a bad week to come to visit."
"As you keep pointing out, but then again it never seems to be a good time to come and visit."
"Mom, I'm in the Air Force and things come up beyond my control."
"You work with Radars it's not like you're going into a war zone everyday."
"Annabelle, I know it's great that you came to visit but we have to leave now. I'm sorry but we really do." Sam said before Jack could say anything. "I'm sorry we have to run, but it can't be helped. Jack, let's go."
"Bye Mom."
"Thank you." Jack said as she pulled the car out of the driveway.
"I didn't want you saying anything you'd regret. Besides if I'd let you continue you would have started spouting about what we do being important and then could have let something slip."
"So you're saving me from myself?"
"Something like that."
"Thank you for rescuing me."
"All part of the service." She smiled.
"You know what the worst thing about running out so quickly was?" He asked.
"No, but I'm sure you're going to tell me."
"I didn't get my good morning kiss and now we're going away and we have to follow the rules." Sam pulled the car over to the side of the road.
"Out."
"What?" He questioned.
"Out." She climbed out of the car thankful for the early hour and that no- one was around and head around to his side of the car. He got out the car, but she pushed him back up against it and kissed him making his heart pound. "Good morning." She said her breath heavy.
"Good morning to you too." He kissed her again.
"Down boy. You might need an ice-bath before the briefing. Now back in the car we have to get to work."
"Yes ma'am."
