"What's sacrilege?" Matthew asked.
"She meant she knows better than to say bad things about the Simpson's in my presence." Jack supplied.
"You should have told me you were watching the Simpson's." Jacob came across and sat on the edge of the couch so he could watch too.
"Do you see my point about corrupting my family?" Sam asked.
"I'm still going with the Simpson's being educational."
"And I'm still not believing it."
"You watch them." Jack pointed out.
"It's a survival thing. Oh Dad by the way Anise called after you left the base."
"What's going on?" Jacob asked.
"The area where they had the camp set up was compromised so they've moved location, they gave us the co-ordinates for when you have to go back."
"Do they need me back now?" He asked.
"No, she said they can manage for another couple of weeks, she just thought you should have a heads up."
"Who's Anise?" Mark asked.
"Someone I work with." Jacob replied.
"Annoying woman." Jack added. Sam fired something at him in Arabic and Jack replied.
"Okay what was that?" Mark asked.
"Arabic." Jacob supplied.
"Since when do you speak Arabic?"
"Since Jack taught me." Sam replied.
"If you think that's impressive wait until you meet Daniel, he speaks what 28 29 languages."
"Twenty eight fluently. He's still working on the Arabic." Sam corrected.
"Most of them are dead languages which no one understands, but then again he's an archaeologist and some has to."
"Why do you have an archaeologist when you work with Deep Space Radar Telemetry?"
"He's also an anthropologist, he makes sure I don't offend the locals if we go somewhere and if I do he smoothes it over." Jack replied.
"I see."
"Hey Mark, how about Jack and I take the kids out for the day we have tomorrow off?" Sam suggested.
"We do?" Jack questioned.
"Tomorrow, then Friday through Sunday next week baring emergencies."
"So you're only going to work a half day on Friday." Jack concluded.
"Probably."
"Still a workaholic then Sam." Jenny said joining her husband in the doorway.
"She's getting better." Jack said.
"Hey Jenny. I was just asking Mark what he thought about Jack and I taking the kids out for the day tomorrow."
"Kids do you want to spend the day with Auntie Sam and Uncle Jack?"
"Please." Hannah said.
"Sure. This is good Uncle Jack."
"Kids it's time for bed." Jenny said.
"Mom, can't we watch the end of this episode?" Matthew asked.
"There's only ten minutes left Jenny." Jack added.
"Okay. Sam do you want to get a cup of coffee so we can catch up?"
"Sure. Behave." She said to Jack.
"When don't I?" He asked innocently.
"Do you want that in chronological or alphabetical order?" Sam asked as she got up.
"Maybe I should just shut up."
"Good idea." Jacob replied.

"So did you ever get a honeymoon?" Jenny asked.
"Yeah. We went to Hawaii."
"How long for?"
"About twenty four hours. Something came up and we had to come back. Jack has a cabin in Northern Minnesota so we spent six days there. It's beautiful up there, it's right on lake."
"Let me guess he made you go fishing?"
"No fish. Despite the number of times he's asked me to go fishing with him. Apparently it's about the act of fishing rather than the fishing itself." Sam yawned. "Sorry we just got back from a two week trip this morning."
"You should have something."
"It's fine Jenny really."
"And so close to the wedding it must have interfered with the planning."
"Dad's arranged it all. I only had to pick my dress and the bridesmaid dresses. I think it was a lot less hassle when he found out the President couldn't come."
"As in the President of the United States of America?" Jenny questioned.
"Yes. He's got a state dinner on Saturday."
"You know him?"
"We've met him a couple of times. He's a good guy."
"Anyone else famous coming to this wedding?" Jenny asked.
"General Ryan who is head of the Air Force, I'm not sure if Dad invited the Secretary of Defence. We basically gave him a list and told him to invite whoever he could a hold of. So I honestly don't know who is coming."
