"Sam, you know I was joking." Jack tried to apologise. "I didn't mean
anything by it."
"You know on second thought telling the Marines about your strip of waxed leg would be a lot more interesting to watch." She said straight-faced.
"Sam come on, you know what I'm like I always shoot my mouth off before I think about what I'm saying."
"You know you're very sweet when you're grovelling." She smiled. "I'm not mad at you really. They would even be slightly funny if I was stranded on an iceberg."
"So what was all this about?" He asked rubbing his wedding ring.
"Keeping you on your toes." She put her hands on either side of his face and kissed him. "Just be careful when you tell jokes you may offend someone if they didn't know you so well. Now I'm going to get a drink with an umbrella in it." She got up and crossed to the bar, under Jack's watchful gaze. "Guys do you want another drink?" Sam asked Daniel and Teal'c.
"We're good." Daniel replied. "Did you sort thing out with Jack?"
"There was nothing to sort out. He just needs to learn to think before he speaks." She lent over the bar slightly to signal the barman.
"What can I get?" He asked with a smile.
"A beer and a Blue Martini with an umbrella please Martin." She smiled.
"What did you do with Janet tonight?" He asked. "It's been a while since I both saw you here." He took the lid off the beer bottle and placed it in front of before proceeding to make her cocktail.
"You know how are things are. I go married, so I brought my husband and our friends along." She turned to smile at Jack. Martin tilted his head to look at Jack.
"That must be Colonel O'Neill. Congratulations Sam."
"Thank you. Better make some other introductions. Martin, this Daniel and Murray. Guys this is Martin he makes the best cocktails in town."
"Daniel as in the cute archaeologist Janet doesn't stop talking about?" Sam nodded. "It's nice to meet you guys. Any friends of Sam and Janet's are more than welcome here. Here you are Sam a Blue Martini." He placed it on a napkin in front of her. She took a sip.
"Perfect." She took out her purse to pay him.
"The drinks are on me." He smiled.
"Thank you." Sam lent across the bar and kissed him on the cheek.
"Won't you get into trouble with your boss for giving away free drinks?"
"No. I own the place."
"Sam?" Jack said from behind her.
"Hey. Martin, this is my husband Jack O'Neill. Jack, meet Martin Hill he owns this establishment."
"Nice to meet you." Jack said.
"You too. Sam you should bring the girls over soon maybe you'll get around to finishing that limbo contest."
"That was the result of too many S-G-Cs." She smiled at the memory.
"It was still a lot of fun."
"SGC's?" Daniel questioned.
"There were lots of variations; basically we could only drink cocktails with ingredients beginning with the letters S-G-C there had to be at least one of each in there. Camparinete which is Sweet Vermouth, Gin and Campari. Gin sour which is Sour mix, Gin and a cherry. Tailspins which are Sweet Vermouth, Gin, Green Chartreuse and a dash of Campari. Singapore Sling - Cherry Brandy, Grenadine, Gin, Sweet and Sour, Carbonated water and a cherry. Mansion Margarita - Gold tequila, Grand Marnier, Cointreau, Sweet and sour. Janet's personal favourite Embolism - Spiced rum, Grenadine and Coca-Cola. Hashi Bashi - Gin, Campari, Schweppes Russian. Ruby in the rough - Gin, Cherry brandy and Sweet Vermouth."
"Don't forget the Sam special." He winked at her.
"Let's not be reminded about that."
"Oh maybe we should and the limbo contest too." Jack said intrigued.
"You know what we were discussing would happen if I got mad." She looked him straight in the eyes.
"Maybe not then."
"Is it okay we shot some pool?" She asked Martin.
"Don't con the patrons and try not to cause too many punches up this time. And I meant what I said about the girls, you know I can't resist a woman in uniform."
"I know. Come on Murray time for another lesson in the art of playing pool." She grabbed Teal'c's hand and led the Jaffa to the pool table. Daniel and Jack remained sat on their stools watching her. After she broke she realised they weren't there and handed the cue to Teal'c and went back for them. "That meant you too." She pushed Daniel gently off his stool, grabbed her Martini in one hand and Jack's in the other and pulled them towards the pool table.
