Sorry I haven't posted in a long time. I lost my only living Grandfather. My Grandma, his wife has been very ill. As well as my Aunt his daughter. It's been very difficult for me and with out the support of my boyfriend and friends. I wouldn't be able to write at all. I've been working on the next story which has a huge plot and is full of angst. Forgive my delays and again Ideas would be helpful. Please keep me in your Prayers. I'm not so well either. I'm trying to find work and start school again.

Chapter 3

General George Hammond looks at his friend Jacob. "Do I need to have more people brought in to defend the base?"

Jacob looks at his friend, just as concerned. "I hope not George. Andrea is going to send a message to the Tok'ra for me."

Hammond nods, his head full of concern for his team. "SG-18 and two are both do back this evening. Call if you need back up."

Jacob nods. "I will George. But Andrea's plan is going to work. The Strike team Barrett and Alex set up is a good group of men." He stands up.

George smiles. "Keep them out of trouble Jacob."

Selmac chuckles. "We will General."

Maybourne watches Daniel and Andrea argue. The young doctor had found a wonderful woman. Maybe he has a chance at finding someone like the Ambassador. "Gorgeous."

O'Neill slaps Maybourne. "Who? Carter, I know!" He stares at the Major casually.

Maybourne shakes his head. "No, the Ambassador." He sighs. It slips his mind that O'Neill finds his second in command attractive.

O'Neill turns around to Maybourne and slaps him hard on the shoulder. "She's married. Besides you're not her type."

"Ouch! What do you mean I'm not her type?" Maybourne says rubbing his arm.

Jack sighs. "I mean she doesn't go for slimy bastards." He storms off to talk to Dr. Fraiser and Major Carter.

Maybourne stares after Jack. He wonders what O'Neill meant.

Daniel shakes his head. Andrea was not leaving Earth when he didn't have access to the gate. "No, I don't care how advanced the Valkyrie is. Not with out back up."

Andrea sighs; he isn't going to let her go. "Fine, I'll do what I can from the ship." Daniel moves to say no. She grabs his hand. "In orbit of Earth Daniel I won't go. I can do some things from Earth you know."

Daniel nods and hugs her tightly. "Try not to work to hard."

Her laughter is light, her eyes glitter. "I won't Daniel. I promise." Daniel pulls away.

Jacob walks up and hugs Andrea tightly. "Selmac wants you to stay out of trouble. From what she told me, When the Cat's away the mice will play."

Andrea giggles. "Oh, well of course. Don't worry I'll stay out of trouble." Her tone sounds truthful. In the back of her mind Andrea plots.

Daniel looks at Jacob. "I take it everyone else is waiting on me?" His expression sheepish.

Jacob nods. "Oh yes. Everyone is waiting on you." He grins at Daniel, resting his hand on the young man's shoulder.
