19/?
Jack entered Stargate Command the following day looking tired. "Colonel, are you feeling alright?" Siler asked as he passed Jack.
"Rooster can't sleep." Jack answered, gesturing to the strolling dog at his side. Rooster was usually a ball of energy, especially at the mountain, but this morning, he looked as if he needed some caffeine.
"Good morning Sir. Sleep well?' Sam asked at the briefing table fifteen minutes later. She had been attacked by a dog that had regained his energy the moment he saw her. And Sam loved it.
Jack gave her one of his fake smiles. "Fantastically." He lied.
Sam frowned. "Rooster whine all night again?"
Jack nodded, sipping his coffee down. "And it is impossible to sleep when he does that. Like trying to sleep with a baby crying."
Sam smiled at the comparison. She sat down and watched Rooster get comfortable at her feet. "You could have called me."
Jack shook his head. "You know…we may have to work up a schedule. He sees you at night, me during the day."
Before Sam could comment Daniel walked into the room, excited about going back to PX-8965. Teal'c followed him and Gen. Hammond came in shortly afterwards. They discussed what they wanted to accomplish on the planet, and the general reminded Teal'c that none of them were allowed to drink anything but water.
Before going through the gate Sam rushed up to Jack and caught his arm. "You forgot your canteen Sir." She said, pressing it into his hand.
"Uh, thanks Carter." He nodded her way, then walked through the gate. It wasn't until an hour later when Jack was in the middle of a discussion with Dr. Ivert, the scientist who discovered the cure, that Jack discovered what was in his canteen. At his surprised look after taking a sip, Daniel questioned him. "Carter, she put coffee in my canteen. And it's still warm." He smiled before taking another drink.
A/N Just a teaser to let y'all know I'm still working on this. You wanted more of the planet, and though I had full intentions of going back, I wanted y'all to know it. Anyway, Thanks so VERY much for the reviews, I read each and every one and I appreciate them so much! And keep giving me ideas, and encouragement. And btw, to the reviewer who said that when Sam said "I loved him too" to Jack about Pete was lame….yeah….I tried to mend it in the following chapter. Those thoughts are good to get too. Thanks all!
