"You know what your problem is Jack?" she said quietly so the police couldn't hear.

He just looked at her confused.

"You don't know when to ask. You see, different people react in different ways and elves are very different to humans. You see if an elf goes near the sea, they get very ill and you were about to take my family to the beach."

Jack opened his mouth to say something but she stopped him.

"I wouldn't say anything right now; I might just take advantage of you being restrained and kill you." She glared at him one last time before picking up Lúthien and leaving the room, followed closely by Legolas and Aragorn.

They returned to the car and arrived just in time to save their car from being towed.

Hoping that Janet would go in the other car when they had finished, Sam took off towards the base.

Jack wandered miserably into the commissary and plonked himself down next to Daniel, who was reading one of his books while eating his lunch.

"She's still not speaking to you is she?" he asked not looking up from his book.

"Nope."

"We're going back to the planet tomorrow are you going to fight the entire journey?"

"Hey it's not like I'm not trying to make it up to her, she's just so stubborn." Jack argued.

"Well maybe you should have asked Sam before you took her family on holiday."

"I was just trying to help her by entertaining them while she completed her paperwork."

"Have you spoken to Legolas since?"

"Yeah he's perfectly fine with it; at least he knows it wasn't intentional."

"Well I hope you sort things out before we leave cause I refuse to put up with you two squabbling all the way to Eryn-Lasgalen." Daniel said before downing the rest of his coffee, closing his book and returning to his office.

To say the Gateroom was crowded would be an understatement. SG-1, Sam, Legolas, their children, Aragorn, Gimli, Merry, Pippin, Samwise and Jacob all stood, with their horses and ponies, leaving little room for the airman who guarded the Stargate.

General Hammond had given SG-1 a maximum of a month on middle earth to spend some more time with Sam and her family. He had also given them a minimum of two weeks saying they worked too hard. So they had borrowed five horses and they along with Jacob were taking some time off.

Sam had agreed, after a long talk with Legolas and Daniel, to be civil to Jack. She had really forgiven him but she was going to let him stew for awhile longer.

The Stargate was starting to dial and everything was ready to go when everyone's weapons were returned, Legolas, Gimli and Aragorn all looked much more comfortable with their weapons on back or belt where they belonged.

The gate finished dialling but the iris was closed because of the lack of space, they didn't want anyone to be pushed into the way of the stabilizing event horizon.

They all mounted and Sam gave everyone one last wave and blew Cassie and Janet a kiss before following at the back of the group, knowing that it could be the last time she ever saw them again.

On the other side Aragorn and Legolas, with Gimli behind him, lead the group towards the crumbling Black gate moving as quickly as they could with the inexperienced riders and small children, all eager to get out of the shadowed land before any Orcs found them.

Aragorn and the Hobbits were all going back to Gondor, Samwise needing to pick up his wife before they returned to the shire and Aragorn needed to return to relieve Faramir of the kings duties so he could go back to his own duties as steward. Gimli was of course going with them to "Keep the elf out of trouble and save Sam from her father-in-law."

So the two groups split up and went their separate ways.

It was a 6 day journey to Mirkwood and by the time they arrived, Jacob, SG-1 and the children were all exhausted. Sam and Gimli weren't much better but where more use to the long journey by horse. Legolas on the other hand still looked fresh and ready to go.

"You would think he would be at least a bit tired." Jack complained.

"Elves have a lot more stamina then us mere mortals. It is annoying but it is the way of things." Gimli said, from where he was walking beside Jack.

They had all decided that they needed to stretch their legs for awhile and most of them where walking next to their horses, as they made their way past the tree line into Eryn-Lasgalen. As they walked Legolas explained how they needed to act around his father.

An hour into the forest a group of elves jumped down from the trees and asked their business in the woods. When they saw Legolas and Sam they bowed and bid them follow.

When they got to the main gate of the city, a small group of elves were there to greet them. Two male elves stopped Jennifer and Sam's horses and helped them down.

The men all dismounted and lead their own horses to the stables, while the men who had taken the horses from Sam and Jennifer led the other two. The two women had disappeared.

"Where are Sam and Hailey?" Jack asked, slightly worried for his (ex)team mates safety.

"My father is very strict about the state he and the population see Sam. So when ever we are seen entering Eryn-Lasgalen her handmaidens' are informed and they bring her something to change into. They shall be back momentarily."

Just as he said, Sam and Jennifer returned by the time the horses were all unsaddled, feed and watered. They were both clean and in dresses and both had a scowl on their faces. Sam's dress was more extravagant and was tighter then Jennifer's, who seemed to have swapped clothes with one of the handmaiden, who was now in Sam's travelling tunic and leggings.

"You know one of the things I love the most about being pregnant is that they don't make you where these bloody robes." Sam said as she took Amarië from Daniel.

Legolas smiled at his wife's complaint, "Come on, the fast we greet my father the faster you can put your leggings back on." He sent an apologetic smile over Sam's shoulder at the head handmaiden who was always trying to keep Sam out of the male cloths.

"I think you look very pretty, Nana." Lúthien said.

"Thank you, Cass. Let's go see your Grandfather."

The little girl squealed and ran up the path in the direction of the throne room, despite being disappointed about Lúthien's gender, Thranduil had always been the doting grandparent, as he was with all his grandchildren.

"Let's get this over with." She said as she started up the path, greeting the elves on the streets as she went.

AUTHORS NOTE: Ok I have an idea. As I have nearly finished writing this, I was wondering what everyone would think of me writing another similar one with a different member of SG-1 in Sam's place. It wouldn't have any slash in it cause I think that would spoil it but I think it would be fun to try.

Tell me what you think, and if you think I should do it which character? Jack, Daniel or Teal'c?

Reviews

technetium - (Reviewed Chapter 2) SG-1 wasn't in Mordor they were on a different planet and the orcs took her through the stargate. As to why they were in Lorien, they weren't exactly in Lorien they were more moving past towards Isengard but Sam escaped and ran into Lorien.

The constellations were on her laptop andI can really imagine Sam have constellations from all the planets she had been to so i think she could have worked around the whole projection thing but what your saying does make sense.

Grammer is always a major problem for me and i should get a beta but i am always impatient to post chapters as soon as i finish them plus betas always take ages to read and return stuff.

Finally Sam not acting like Sam, i don't think i've done that badly but then Sam is a very hard character to write, she is very complicated. Daniel and Jack aren't as hard but Sam is harder for some reason unknown.

Gremblin – I can't count the number of times I have had to do that.
