A/N: Sorry for the delay but i've had to work a lot the last few weeks and with a case of writers block on top of that I stalled. I finally found some inspiration from Sacrifices. So here is some more. I'll post more as soon as i can.

"Jack I'm home." Sam called. She been to the store to get some more drinks since there friends were due to arrive within the hour for the cook out.

"In here." Jack replied. "Did you get everything?"

"Beer, soda, bottle water and I bought some cake for dessert."

"Cake?" Jack's face lit up.

"No cake until after we've eaten." Sam warned giving a quick kiss.

"Okay. But if it comes down to a fight for the last piece. I get it."

"You and Teal'c can duke it out on the lawn." Sam agreed.

"Thank you." Jack smiled.

"So has Palmer back off yet? I didn't see him yesterday."

"Back off about what?" Jack questioned.

"He was threatening to have me sent for court martial." Sam replied.

"You didn't tell me that. What for?"

"He didn't like my web, didn't think it was the best way to get them out so I suggested that he stay in the pit while we go out and thought up something himself."

"He never mentioned anything." Jack replied.

"He'll probably wait until Hammond is back." Sam sighed leaning against the counter.

"Palmer just doesn't like the idea of a woman saving his six." Jack said placing a hand either side of Sam trapping her.

"And what do you think about women saving your six?" Sam asked.

"As long as it's saved what do I care?" Jack shrugged. Sam frowned. "But personally I prefer if you save it." Sam smiled as he whispered against her lips.

"You do huh?" Sam wrapped her arms around his neck and deepened the kiss.

"Hello?" Daniel called opening the front door.

"For cryin' out loud that boy has really bad timing." Jack muttered.

"In here." Sam called dropping her arms. "You're early?"

"I had to leave the base otherwise I would have got caught up in a translation and totally forgotten I was supposed to be here." Daniel replied.

"Hi Daniel." Sam smiled.

"Am I interrupting something?" Daniel asked sensing Jack's slight hostility.

"I was just trying to seduce my wife." Jack replied. Sam blushed slightly.

"Sorry. Do you want me to come back?"

"No you're here now. Jack was just going to light the barbeque." Sam replied.

"I wasn't. But I will."

"Do you want a drink?" Sam asked.

"Sure. Can I have a...."

"Don't give him alcohol. We don't want him passed out on the couch before everyone else gets here." Jack warned.

"Jack I'm not that much of a light weight."

"You are." Jack replied.

"Jack, I'm...."

"Not getting to an argument." Sam interrupted. "Jack go and light the barbeque."

"Yes ma'am."

"What would you like to drink Daniel?" Sam asked.

"Soda is good." Daniel replied.

"Sure." Sam picked up her bag from the store and pulled out a soda can. "Do you want a glass?"

"No. I'll be fine."

"Here you go." Sam handed it to him. "I should put the rest of these in the refrigerator."

"So Hammond gets back tomorrow? Are you ready?"

"Should be. We have a pretty convincing argument and most of the base are willing to back us up."

"You've both got lots of friends. Beside which the whole base has become attached to Jacob." Daniel replied as Sam place the beer bottles in the refrigerator.

"I know. If Hammond says no, I could quit." Sam shrugged. "It's not like have to work, I can afford not to. Even paying for the house and everything my stocks have gone and covered all the spending."

"You really wouldn't quit would you? You love what we do too much."

"I doubt they'd let me quit entirely. What we do is important but it can't be our whole lives? We've all given up a lot for the SGC it's time we had some of our lives back."

"True."

"Which is why I want to say something to you. I've had enough of being subtle about it."

"Subtle about what?"

"Janet. Would you just ask her out please?"

"Janet." Daniel spluttered slightly.

"It's obvious you like her and she likes you too. Do something about it. Life is too short to wait around because you are scared."

"That definitely wasn't subtle."

"No it was the truth... Dani..." Sam slurred before dropping to the floor.

"SAM!!!" He screamed, just managing to react quick enough to stop her head impacting the floor. "JACK!!!" He yelled.
