Jack woke up to the fire alarm ringing in the house.
"Would you just shut up?" Sam was swatting a tea towel at it.
"Sam? What's going on? It's 0500." Jack groaned.
"The toast burnt and fire alarm won't shut off." Sam waved the tea towel in front of it again, but it still rang.
"Why didn't you just take the battery out?" Jack asked.
"Because it's 0500 and I'm still half asleep and I burnt my toast." Jack took the battery out silencing the alarm.
"Why are you up this early anyway, briefing isn't until 1000?"
"I wanted to go in early to check over a few things, check out the lab situation."
"You know there are better ways you could have woken me up." He wrapped his arms around his waist.
"You don't like the fire alarm method?" Sam asked as she kissed him.
"Not really." He kissed her back. "If you can give me twenty minutes I'll come in with you. I can go and torture Ferretti before Doc gets to work."
"I'll make some more toast."
"Don't forget coffee." Jack said before heading back towards the bedroom.

"Ferretti." Jack said walking in.
"Isn't it too early for you to be here Jack?" Ferretti questioned.
"There was an incident with the toaster and a fire alarm, I don't want to discuss."
"Sam decided to take them apart?" Ferretti questioned.
"More like she burnt the toast at 0500 and rather than taking the battery out stood waving a tea towel at it."
"That's women for you." Ferretti said.
"How are you?" Jack asked.
"Bored. I've been up since they decided to prod me at 0430. I'm hoping they'll let me out of here as soon as Doc Fraiser lets me out." Jack looked around for the nurses, they weren't near.
"How about I spring you for breakfast?"
"Jack how many times have you tried to creep out here and been caught?" Ferretti questioned.
"That's because Fraiser was here. But she's not starting work until much later. So what do you say to breakfast?"
"As long as Sam's not making it."
"She's a lot better now, honestly. Let's pull our own covert op."
"Good thing I convinced Fraiser to let me wear sweats." Ferretti hopped out of bed and they headed for the door.
"Where exactly do you think you're going sir?" Hannah asked with her arms crossed. "You're supposed to be in bed."
"Did Fraiser recruit you to her breakout prevention program?" Jack asked.
"No sir. Major back to bed." Hannah said.
"When did you get promoted past me?" Ferretti questioned.
"Do you want me to call Doctor Fraiser?" She threatened.
"You know you're as bad as Sam." Jack accused.
"I'll take that as compliment sir." Hannah replied. "Major back to bed."
"We're going to get breakfast Lieutenant, I'll return him afterwards."
"Rebecca." Hannah called.
"Yes... Major Ferretti back to bed now." Rebecca said. "Colonel, you should know better by now."
"You can't blame a guy for trying to take his friend for breakfast."
"Sir, do you want to me to call Major Carter?" Hannah asked.
"Why is it everyone always threatens me with Sam or Fraiser?" Jack muttered. "You know there are regulations against threatening superior officers."
"Sir, I wasn't threatening you. I was just asking a genuine question. Would you like me to call Major Carter?" Hannah replied.
"No it's okay."
"I'm going back to bed. But you're going to bring me breakfast Lieutenant."
"Yes sir. I'll go and find you something nice and healthy."
"I want bacon, eggs, the whole fry up. I almost died yesterday."
"And if you want to live a little longer, you'll have something healthy."
