It was almost noon when Tris and Stephanie woke up – mere minutes before Gabriel and Deborah arrived with their children: seven-year-old, Mary and five-year-old Jesse. When introduced to Sam, Gabe gave his younger brother was one that clearly said what the older man did say moments later:
"Well, Jackie-boy – I never actually expected the infamous Samantha Carter to look like this! I was right on the money when I called her a chick."
Sam blushed profusely at the first sentence, then looked up at Deborah when Gabe had said the second, "Would you terribly mind if I taught your husband the lesson that Air Force Lieutenant Colonels don't liked to be called 'chicks'?"
The blonde woman bowed her head conceding, "By all means, Sam. Knock that Irish smirk off his face!"
Sam bowed her head slightly in Deborah's direction, "Thank you, ma'am," before turning and motioning for Gabe to follow her into the backyard – which was covered in snow. "Do you have a blindfold I could use, General?"
Jack's smirk grew, "Gonna use that trick Brae taught you, Carter?"
Sam smirked right back at him; "I didn't take those lessons from Brae and T for nothing, sir."
Everyone gathered outside (or next to the sliding glass door as was the case with Stephanie, Tamar and the children) as Jack tied the blindfold around Sam and Gabe wondered what the hell he had just gotten himself into.
"Don't worry, Gabe, she won't maim you – too much paper work," Jack said reassuringly to his older brother as Sam stretched just like Bra'tac and Teal'c had taught her how, with the blindfold on. She was listening to the sounds; picking out the different breathing patterns to find which one was Gabriel.
"Yeah, right," the older man said. Bingo, she thought as her ears kept a tab on his breathing.
"You want to go first, Gabriel?" Sam asked calmly with a cold smirk on her face. She was only dressed in the sweater and jeans she had put on that morning – but the cold was very distant to her.
"You're blind, though. I can't hit a blind girl."
Sam's face grew cold, "Either you hit me first, or I'll hit you and end this entire thing once and for all."
Gabe sighed, and went to punch Sam, but her reflexes stopped him. She grabbed his fist and within thirty seconds he was down on his knees with Sam's arms around his neck. Sam wasn't even breathing heavily.
She bent down until her mouth was level with his ear, "Do you understand now, that it's not okay to call a woman a 'chick'? Especially Air Force officers. We don't like it, and the next time you say something stupid like that – I'll teach you how it feels to have your ribs pushed apart by someone else's thumbs. Understood?"
Gabe nodded, "Yes, ma'am."
"Good." Sam rose, releasing her grip on Gabe so she could remove the blindfold. Turning to the crowd of Jack's siblings she said, "And that is why Air Force women are not called chicks by anyone who wants to live and values their reproductive organs."
A/N: Sooo? What think you all? I wrote this scene for all of you just waiting for Sam to punch Gabe. Like it enough to review?
