A/N. Right well I technically wasn't planning on writing any more, it was meant to be a one shot but with the amazing reviews I got and a few people wanting to know what happened next (especially bookworm37's review) got me wondering as well so I started thinking and now I have to write this next chapter. Anyways now I've ranted for a sec here's the next chap.
Sam was smiling. No scrap that, she was grinning like a mad woman. It was 0530 and the power had been down for half an hour, she had been working all night before this and she was actually in one of the best moods she had been in for the past couple of months. Every time she had looked up at Siler, he had been looking at her like she was going crazy. Maybe she was. She had, afterall, no more than half an hour ago, kissed her CO and then agreed to meet him at his home later that evening. So why was she grinning like a mad woman. She shook her head to get rid of the thoughts until later, she focused on the last wire. She replaced it and then put the cover back on the fuse box.
"Ok, try it now" she told Siler. A second later the lights came on causing Sam to blink and she could hear a chorus of cheers echo around the base.
"Excellent work Major," came the amused voice of the CO she had been obsessing over. His voice startled her and as she tried to rise to her feet as fast as she could she hit her head on the door of another open fuse box door.
"Ow!" she sighed as she was knocked back down. She looked up at Jack with a hand to her head to see him wince in sympathy.
"Ouch Carter, you should be more careful" she could hear the playful almost flirty tone to his voice and the madwoman grin spread across her face again as he helped her carefully to her feet.
"Oh I will be sir" Jack's eyes twinkled at the response and then he seemed to realise that they had company, he cleared his throat and then continued his conversation, "I want you to get some shut eye now Major and that's an order, you were up all night playing with your new toy and now you've restored us to the land of light so … go"
"Sir I still have to finish adjusting the naquada …" she paused at the blank look on his face, "I mean finish playing with my new toy, Colonel"
"Ah! No! sleep Carter, order, go" he smirked.
"Yes sir" she agreed reluctantly and followed Jack out of the room. They walked in companionable silence until they got in the lift and then Jack started to talk.
"So Carter, have fun?" he asked,
"With the overload that a certain someone caused? Yes sir" she smirked back, "by the way, what are you going to tell the General about the Overload?"
"I don't know anything about any overload Carter, in fact ya know me, I'm pretty clueless in most things"
"Yeah well I can think of at least one thing where you're definitely not lacking in knowledge" she dead panned whilst looking straight at the lift doors. Jack stared at her in shock at the innuendo and then followed her out of the lift when the doors opened, smiling as well. The corridor was deserted when they arrived at Sam's quarters but being acutely aware of the security camera Sam couldn't give him the kiss she desperately wanted to instead she looked him in the eye.
"Well, I'll see you in a few hours then sir?"
"That you will Major, but I don't want to see you until you're nice and rested" he chanced and small wink at her and then walked away leaving her to walk into her quarters.
After about 6 hours of sleep, Sam was awoken by the Klaxons blaring and the distant but still loud.
"UNSCHEDULED OFFWORLD ACTIVITY"
Sam groaned and pulled on the trousers that she had taken off to go to sleep and ran from the room. As she entered the control room she ran into Jack (literally).
"After you Carter" he offered.
"Thank you Sir" she walked over to the computer next to Harriman and spoke to Jack and General Hammond, "It's the Tok'ra Sir" she told them.
"Yay" Jack responded sarcastically.
"Well open the Iris, Major" General Hammond told her. As the Iris opened Jacob Carter walked onto the ramp.
"Dad!" she said happily as she walked into the room with Jack and Hammond.
"Sam, how are you?" he asked.
"I'm good dad, you and Selmac?"
"Oh ya know, the usual, George, its good to see you"
"You too Jacob" Hammond smiled.
"Dad!" Jack yelled enthusiastically, "I missed ya old buddy" he said in his usual 'I'm bored and I'm gonna act over the top fashion'. Jacob rolled his eyes and responded.
"It's good to see you too Jack, I hope you've been taking care of my daughter" he asked with his eyes twinkling. Jack's smile faltered slightly and he shot a quick glance at Hammond, who just looked amused however Sam looked like she was about to blow a gasket.
"Dad!" she admonished but was cut off from further warnings by Jacks answer.
"Oh you know Carter, Jake, she can take care of herself and then we're here to make sure she gets enough sleep" Sam stared at him, "What! Did I not just have to tell you to get some sleep?" he asked like he was asking a question of a five year old, Sam decided to play hard ball this time.
"Well you know that the base lost its power and along with that the security systems went down, it was a top priority to sort that out before anyone could take advantage of it" she said silkily and then added a quick "sir" on the end. She could tell that Jack was amused at the insinuation but didn't let it show. She looked back at her dad and asked, "So why are you here dad?" Jacob grinned evily and turned back to George.
"I just need to ask George a question really" Hammond looked surprised.
"What about, Jacob?" he asked puzzled.
"I was wondering when you were gonna tell me about the youngest addition to the grandchildren of George Hammond club" he grinned and Georges puzzled face. Hammond laughed.
"You came all this way for that? Yeah little George was born last month, a healthy 7lbs 1 oz."
"Are you staying tonight dad?" Sam asked uncertainly and Jack pricked his ears up at this.
"I thought I could make use of some temporary quarters here and then ship out early, I need to be at a Tok'ra base"
"Sure Jacob you can use the VIP quarters"
"Good, well I haven't slept in 30 hours so I'm gonna hit the hay, I'll speak to you later Sammy, you guys too"
Two hours later, in Sam's lab, Jack entered. He wandered in and picked up the nearest doohickey to him.
"So nice surprise from dad earlier?" he asked.
"Yeah I was wondering how long it would be before I saw him" she smiled
"Well, anyways, just checkin' about tonight" he said slyly glancing at her.
"7" she firmly stated, not looking at him but smiling non-the-less.
"Sweet!" he said before placing the doohickey down and wandering back out the lab leaving a amused Carter behind.
