CHAPTER 10!

Sam was trying to make her way out of the infirmary into the commissary. She wanted to go see Ally, and Jack for that matter. Just as she was leaving she ran into Daniel.

"Sam, you ok?" Daniel asked as Sam was rushing.

"Yeah, just in a hurry to get back to Ally is all."

"Oh. By any chance do you have a minute to spare?" Daniel asked cautiously.

"Ok, we can walk and talk can't we?"

"Sure."

"So, what's up?"

Daniel twitched nervously before he attempted to ask the question.

"What?" Sam asked self consciously.

"Um…I think it would be better if we discussed this in your office or something?"

"Daniel," Sam stopped and looked at him.

"Just, before you bite my head off, hear me out." Daniel led her into her office, just as they so happened past. He shut the door and took a seat next to the bench. He noticed Jack's yoyo and smirked.

"Daniel?" Sam asked confused.

"Sam…I was just wondering what was going to happen to Ally, I mean she just can't stay on the base forever. She needs to go home, to school and try to be normal." Sam glanced at him but retrieved her eyes back to the picture on her desk of a team photo taken years ago.

"To be honest Daniel, at this stage it would be great to have them…I mean her at home. But the General and I haven't really discussed it yet, so she'll have to stay here for the time been." Sam said trying to avoid the subject of her and Jack, she blushed a little at her slip up. She thought of them at his house altogether. She smiled of the idea of them living all together and really happy.

"Earth to Sam, is everything ok?" Daniel asked watching her emotions play across her face.

"What…yeah, I'm fine, just thinking." Sam steadied her look back to Daniel and wiped the smile from her face back to seriousness.

"Or were you thinking about Ja.."

"Daniel." Sam said very sternly.

"Alright, fine I will say nothing further, just think about it." Daniel suggested.

"Yes Daniel."

Sam was now finally on her way to the commissary. After her little talk with Daniel she felt it necessary to giggle to herself. She kept thinking that Daniel knows about them but won't say anything, and it was killing her inside not telling him. She could remember the look on Daniel's face every time her and Jack appeared to be flirting. So she had no choice, she broke out into a full blown chuckle as she was turning the corner entering the commissary.

She heard a familiar voice behind her and stopped.

"Hey Carter, wait up!" He reached her with four cups of jelly, struggling to handle them all. She stopped and turned still giggling at Daniel's talk as well as Jack now.

"What are you giggling at?" Jack asked at her and smirked at her.

"Nothing…Daniel…you." She continued to giggle.

"Ok, conversation for later then?"

"Definitely."

"Right. Well don't just stand there, are you going to help me or not?" He said as he fumbled the jelly.

"Yes sir, but why the jelly. I was thinking the same thing that's why I'm here." Sam responded as she grabbed the 2 blue ones.

Jack frowned. "Are you serious? It's jelly Carter. We both like jelly, so I am guess Ally would probably like jelly as well. Plus, I wanted to see which colour she likes, besides everybody knows that red jelly is so much better than blue." Jack said sarcastically with over exaggeration in his tone as he mocked Sam.

"Sir you're imagining things, she will like blue. If you'd like to bet on this you are welcome to." Sam said playfully.

"Is that a challenge Colonel?" Jack raised his eyebrow in Teal'c fashion.

"If you would like it to be General." She replied.

"5 bucks?"

"Are you kidding?"

"Fine, 20."

"It's a bet."

'He is so going to have to pay up' Sam thought and started to giggle.

Jack heard her giggle and turned to see her smiling brightly. Jack was up for the challenge and it was written all over his face which made Sam giggle even more.

The two entered into where Ally had been moved. She was now in her own quarters because the situation is that the president will decided what he wants to do to happen to her and see how much information they could get out of her. This will probably lead up to Ally living with Sam or Jack any way.

Sam was still giggling when Jack and she entered. As they were walking in Ally saw the Jelly, got up and headed straight for it.

"Dad, mum, you guys are my hero's!" Ally reached past Jack and grabbed the blue one. After she had taken it off Sam, she went straight back to her bed and sat down slowly eating the jelly.

Sam was now laughing so hard she had to sit down.

"Anti up Jack." She added between laughs.

Jack reached for his pocket, then stopped and turned to her with a sly grin on his face.

"We didn't shake on it." Sam turned to Jack and stopped laughing.

"Our hands were full, you owe me twenty bucks buddy." She stated playfully.

"No I don't." He tried. Ally was turning her head back and forth between her mum and dad and started to laugh with them.

"Dad, if I were I would hand it over. And mum sometimes I wonder about you, you sound so much like dad." Ally giggled.

"Thanks, I think, anyway its fine Al, I'll get Teal'c he'll settle this." Sam smiled with a wink at Jack.

Jack once again reached into his pocket and retrieved $20 and forked it out to Sam.

"Happy?" He said trying to act upset.

"Thank you. Oh by the way if you hadn't handed it over you would have been sleeping in your own bed." She whispered giggling when he took a seat beside her.

"Mum, you know what dad says about giggling." Ally laughed.

"Yeah she does, but she still does it anyway." Jack joked. Sam playfully hit him on the arm.

"What were you guys betting over anyway?"

"Um nothing important." Jack answered quickly and sneakily.

"Well if mum was laughing so much that she couldn't stop laughing it must of either been about me, or Daniel because that is the only 2 things you bet on anyway." Ally finished.

"You're just like your mother you know, you may look a lot like me but you are just as intelligent as your mum." Jack answered looking back and forth between the two women.

"Well?" Ally said impatiently.

"Well, Jack made a bet to see which jelly you liked the best!" Sam started to giggle again and Ally did to.

"What's so funny?" Jack asked self-consciously.

"Dad you have been made an arse out of the whole thing." Ally said laughing as Sam was shaking with laughter again.

"What do you mean?" Jack asked curiously looking directly at Sam.

"I'm sorry Jack, I already knew, when I saw you I was already on the way to the commissary to get the Blue jelly that Ally had already ordered. I couldn't help myself, really I'm sorry." She giggled until she saw a grin grow on Jack's face, and she knew she had to escape she knew exactly what he was going to do to her. Tickle her.

She got up and moved out of her chair and away from him.

"Jack, no." She said trying to stop laughing.

"What Sam are you a little scared of what I might do to you?" Jack asked her with the raise of his eyebrow as he cornered her.

"Maybe…ahhh Jack stop it" She laughed as she started tickling her.

"Where's my 20 bucks Carter, hand it over! Or will I have to find it for myself?" He said when his eyebrows were making suggestions while he was laughing with her.

"Here, I give up…take it." She took it from her pocket and handed it to him. There faces were face to face. Jack lent in to kiss Sam but she pulled away as she saw the camera in one corner and Daniel at the doorway.

"Daniel, 'Sam pulled away towards Ally's bed,' what's up?" Sam asked.

"Umm, not much, but you obviously have a lot going on..." Daniel suggested as his finger point back and forth at Sam and Jack.

"Daniel." Jack said.

"Jack."

"Daniel."

"Jack."

Sam took a seat next to Ally on her bed as she was waiting for a confrontation between Daniel and Jack.

"Here we go." Sam muttered.
