"OOOOO.....it's the first snow of the season!" Cassie squealed, as she came bounding down the stairs heading for the back door. "And its on a weekend too."
"Hold on there a minute." Janet called out from the living room. "You're not going out there with out some warm clothes and a coat on."
While Cassie was getting her snow clothes on Janet was expecting Macein to not be far behind Cassie, considering this would be the first time Macein saw actual snow. Moments later Cassie came back into the room ready to go out and play in the snow, but there was still no sign of Macein.
"Cass have you seen Macein yet this morning?"
"I think his still in bed."
Watching Cassie head outside Janet, feeling worried because Macein had never sleep this long before decided to go check on him. But before she could leave the living room Macein, not looking very steady on his feet, came shuffling into the room wrapped up in a big, thick, warm blanket.
"Would it kill you to turn up the heat around here?" Macein asked sounding, to Janet, slightly congested. "Seriously it's freezing in here. I'm not used to tempertures below 75 degrees."
"Good morning to you too." Janet, fearing that Macein was getting a cold, moved over to where Macein had very carefully sat down on the end of the couch. Being able to feel the heat radiating off of Macein Janet gently layed a hand on his forehead. "I want you to stay put I'll be right back."
Janet, getting up and moving into the kitchen, quickly returned carrying a thermometer. Putting the thermometer in Macein's mouth Janet waited for it to beep. After a moment hearing the thermometer beep Janet took it out of his mouth.
Seeing that Macein had a temperture of a 101.4 Janet was getting ready to send him back to bed when she noticed Macein shift around in his seat and start to scratch at his back looking closer she could see spots starting to poke out from under his shirt along the back of his neck.
'Great it's the chicken pox.' Janet thought to herself as she swated Macein's hand away from where it was scratching his back. "Alright come on let me help you get back into bed."
"Mom, I'm fine I don't need your help." Macein started to get up, but nearly toppeled over. "Wooo.... room spining."
Immediately moving to keep Macein from falling over Janet steared him back down on to the couch. After getting Macein settled on the couch Janet dissapeared into the kitchen to get some calamine lotion. Coming back into the living room Janet wasn't suprised to find Macein tossing around trying to find relife from all the itching.
"Macein will you stop scratching."
"But it itches."
"I don't care if it itches you still have to stop scratching. Here rub some of this on it'll help with the itching." Janet handed the calamine lotion to Macein, while thinking to herself 'He sounds and acts more and more like Jack all the time.'
"It'd better."
While Macein started to rub the calamine lotion on, Cassie came walking in the front door followed by Daniel.
"Hey mom look what I found, can we keep him?" Cassie asked as she and Daniel came into the living room.
"I guess we could find a place for him some where around here, but only because he's so cute and adorable looking." Janet answered giving Daniel a kiss.
"So you ready to go?" Daniel questioned wraping his arms around Janet's waist and kissing her back. "We've got that briefing at 0900."
"Oh crap...thats today isn't it?"
"Yeah why is there some thing wrong?"
"What...no...no every things fine. It's just that Macein has offically caught his first earth illness. The chicken pox and I really don't want to leave him here on his own."
"So we bring him back to the base with us. I mean what better place to be then in the infirmary when you're sick, right?"
Conceding that Daniel was right Janet went up stairs and quickly got ready for work. While Janet checked that Cassie would be ok on her own for the day, Daniel managed to move a very uncooperative Macein out into the car.
====================
Arriving at the base Daniel was forced to carry a still uncooperative Macein down to the infirmary. Once Janet made sure that Macein was settled and would behave for the nurse on duty, Janet and Daniel made their way up to the briefing room.
Being the last two people to enter the briefing room, Daniel cut Jack off before he could get out one of his wise cracks about what they might have been doing to cause them to be late. "Yes, I know, I know we're late, sorry, but we had something come up."
"I'm sure you did." Jack joked.
"And no it's not what you're thinking Jack."
"Thats right sir. We're late because Macein has come down with the chicken pox." Janet cut in. "So I had Daniel help me bring him into the infirmary where I could keep an eye on him."
"Is he going to be ok?" Sam got into the conversation.
"He should be fine in a few days or so. I just thought it might be a good idea to have him here just in case something happens, since as far as I know his immune system has never actually been exposed to something like the chicken pox, so anything could happen."
"Well then doctor we'll get this briefing over with as quickly as possible so that you can get back to your patient." The General spoke up for the first time since Daniel and Janet entered the room.
==============
Later that day SG-1 entered the infirmary to visit Macein and to drag Janet with them to get something to eat, since she hadn't left the infirmary all day. Walking over to the bed Macein was laying in they could see that Macein, who was tossing and turning all over trying to get the itching to stop, was having a rough time of it.
"Macein, for the last time, if you don't stop scratching right now I'm going to tie your hands down to the bed." Janet warned Macein.
"But it itches." Macein whined as he once again went to scratch a spot on his back, but stopped short at seeing the look Janet shot him.
"You should listen to your mom." Jack advised coming to stand by Macein's bed. "She knows what shes talking about when she tells you to stop scratching.
"Oh..shut up. You know if I wasn't so busy itching to death I'd hit you right now, for that comment." This of coures started Daniel laughing from where he was standing behind Janet. "And what are you laughing at?"
"You and the fact that you're starting to sound alot like Jack, when he's stuck in the infirmary."
"Hey! I object to that." Jack objected. "Carter help me out here."
"I'm sorry sir, but he's right you do tend to whine alot when you're in here." Sam agreeded with Daniel.
"Hey I do not whine I may occasionally complain but I do not whine. Right Teal'c?"
"Indeed you do occasionally complain, but I must agree with Major Carter and DanielJackson as well you do tend to whine when confined to the infirmary."
"Sorry sir it looks like there's a consenses you do whine alot when you're stuck in here." Janet consoled Jack "Now if you will all please clear out of my infirmary, so that Macein can get some rest."
"Only if you come with us to get somthing to eat." Daniel bargined, as he grabbed Janets hand and started pulling her towards the door. "You've been holed up in here all day and you need to get out and get something to eat." The others agreed with Daniel.
"Yes, go, leave, let me have some peace." Macein added in.
"Well there you have it Janet, you've been out numbered now come on." Sam confirmed.
So after leaving some instructions with the duty nurse Janet followed her friends out of the infirmary as they all headed to the commisary to get some food to eat.
"Hold on there a minute." Janet called out from the living room. "You're not going out there with out some warm clothes and a coat on."
While Cassie was getting her snow clothes on Janet was expecting Macein to not be far behind Cassie, considering this would be the first time Macein saw actual snow. Moments later Cassie came back into the room ready to go out and play in the snow, but there was still no sign of Macein.
