Chapter 1

SG-1 was on downtime. Colonel O'Neill had invited them all down to his cabin for the week. They had all driven down in Jack's truck. Teal'c had spent the journey with Jack in the front, discussing fishing theories. Whilst Sam was explaining to Daniel her wormhole theories, in the back seat.

They arrived at the cabin late that night. After they had unpacked everything from Jack's truck, they were all slumped down in the lounge room. Jack handed out beer to Daniel and Sam, and gave Teal'c a can lemonade. He too then slumped down on the other end of the couch to Sam, and just as he did a huge bolt of thunder sounded outside and almost immediately rain started pouring down.

"Damn, hope that doesn't last to long, there are a just a few leaks in the roof I probably should have had a look at last time I was down here." Jack said with a bit of a sly look on his face. "Do you wish me to help you fix them, O'Neill?" Teal'c said standing up from his chair and walking over to a drip that had already begun in front of the fireplace. "Ahh, yeah, um Space Monkey do u mind going into the laundry and grabbing the buckets from under the sink" Jack said, as Daniel headed down the hallway into the laundry.

" I'll grab some old towels too", Sam said heading towards the hall cupboard. "Ah yeah good idea", Jack said jogging into the kitchen and grabbing all the pots and pans from the draw under the oven.

By midnight the team where slumped on the couch, surrounded by dozens of saucepans, buckets, towels and pans. The rain was still heavy overhead. "Sorry guys, I didn't think it was this bad." Jack murmured quietly. The other three just glared at him. "I'm going to go and see if I can get that work on the gate finished." Daniel said getting up from his chair and heading down the hallway to the spare bedroom he was sharing with Teal'c.

"Well, um, do u guys wanna watch some of 'The Simpson's'? Jack questioned smiling at Sam and Teal'c. They both looked at him like he had been possessed or something. "Um actually I think I better get some sleep", Sam replied," I have to get up early to call Janet about organizing a girls day out with Cassie". Jack looked over at Teal'c, "You up for it T?" "Um I feel I really should start my kelnoreme", he said heading off towards the door Daniel Jackson had just gone through.

"You can take my room, Carter, I'll pack it out on the fold out couch tonight", Jack said showing Sam to his room, "Thanks sir, anyway see ya in the morning."

Jack walked back into the lounge room dodging al the pots and buckets, and folded out the couch to make the double bed, and leapt onto it, but instead of sleeping he spent most of the night tossing and turning. Something was definitely wrong; he just didn't know what it was.
