Chapter 55

Janet's POV

CRACK!

Sam and Jack automatically scan the area with their P90's as we all look around for the source. There is a large rock that was thrown against the canyon wall just ahead of us.

I see the Colonel's gaze narrow on it, as Sam keeps an eye on the opposite direction. Then he curses.

"FERRETTI! Get your damn ass out here this moment airman!"

"Aww, you guessed Colonel." Whines Major Ferretti as he steps forward from the trees nearby with Captain Thompson and Lieutenant Littlefield of SG-2, all holding their hands up in 'surrender'.

The three of us lower our weapons. "Well that was damned sloppy tracking Major Ferretti. We could hear the three of you from the 'Gate. If this was a training exercise, you'd all be scrubbing latrines until you improved." Snaps O'Neill with a harsh glare, but the smile Sam is trying to hide gives away his amusement. If he was really annoyed, she would be too.

"Knock it off Jack. We just wanted to provide an honour guide for you and the Mrs."

"That's Major Carter to you Ferretti." Replies the Colonel, and this time the warning is real.

"Sorry. Colonel Carter and Major Carter." Quips the CO of SG-2 with a wink in my direction.

The next second Colonel O'Neill has him in a playful headlock and Sam laughs. "Jack."

"Just a second Carter." He replies as Ferretti struggles and Littlefield and Thompson back off, looking at each other, half afraid that they'll be next.

"Colonel." I add in warning, knowing that they're just playing around.

"Be right with ya Doc. Just gotta teach this young pup some manners." He says as he releases the Major.

"Better'n tryin' teach an ol' dog Colonel." Drawls Ferretti, which earns him a playful punch on the arm.

"Hey! I'm not THAT much older than you Major." Protests the Colonel.

"Guys, please. Spare us the testosterone overdose." Orders Sam and they both look over at her, pretending to be hurt. I roll my eyes.

"O'Neill." Calls Teal'c from a hundred metres away and I jump.

"Hey Teal'c. Come join the party."

"I am to guide you the remainder of the way. Olmas and Hugh are most upset at the delay."

"Yeah, well, I'm a little upset myself Teal'c. I thought Danny explained the concept of a honeymoon to the Yammerers?"

"The Yamyrian elders were most insistent O'Neill. MajorCarter."

"Hmph."

"I have been assured that no N'Tinevale is to be served at this Festival O'Neill."

"Pity."

"Colonel." Warns Sam with a blush as SG-2 snicker.

"What? I'm just sayin'." He replies with a leer.

"Come on Colonel. You heard Teal'c. We're late already."

"Alright Carter. Let's go kids. Ferretti, you take point. Teal'c, watch our sixes." He leans over to Sam and whispers something that makes her smile before walking away with a big smirk on his face.

Sam drops back to talk to Teal'c and I take up position in the middle out of habit.

Sam's POV

He is so going to regret embarrassing me like that.

I hug Teal'c in greeting, now the others are all moving away.

"You are well SamanthaO'Neill?"

Trust Teal'c to pick up the difference between my two pseudonyms first. "Yes. Thank you Teal'c. Jack and I are just a little… upset at being recalled so early."

"I understand."

We walk in a comfortable silence for a few minutes. "How is Daniel?"

"He has not been himself since the night of your wedding. CassandraFrasier has told me that he removed his belongings from DoctorFrasier's home. She is concerned. As am I."

"Me too Teal'c."

"You have a plan SamanthaO'Neill?"

"I'm working on it Teal'c. I'm going to try to rope Olmas into helping me."

"Perhaps Keja would be of assistance as well. DoctorFrasier seemed most possessive of DanielJackson in her presence."

"Yeah, maybe. If I can convince her to keep her claws off Jack at the same time."

"I have every confidence in your ability to do so."

"So, what's this Festival about Teal'c? The General couldn't tell us much."

"Olmas has explained the significance of the Festival to me."

"I'm not gonna like this am I?"

"At the Festival it is possible to determine if the N'Tinevale… was completely successful. She also wishes to ensure that the bondings have not damaged SG-1's relationships. I believe it would be best to keep her true reasoning from DoctorFrasier, DanielJackson and O'Neill until after the ceremony is complete."

"By completely successful, I take it you mean… with child."

"Indeed."

"Oh great."

"Do you not wish to carry O'Neill's children SamanthaO'Neill?"

"Teal'c… if you had asked me that question three weeks ago, I wouldn't have known what to say. Now… I can state unequivocavly that I want very few things more than having a baby with Jack. But at the same time… it's silly, but I don't want to have my hopes dashed by knowing that I'm not pregnant yet. And Daniel and Janet…"

"SamanthaO'Neill, you have been married for one week. Is it not usual for Tau'Ri couples to try for months before conception occurs."

"Yes. But Teal'c, no other Tau'Ri couples have been half killed by an Ashrak, leaving a dead Tok'ra in their bodies to leave a protein marker and naquada in their blood. Not to mention the thousand other things that have happened to us in the last five years."

"Have you consulted with DoctorFrasier?"

"I had to discuss it with Jack first. I was going to make an appointment when we got back from Minnesota next week and started moving my stuff."

"You are moving?"

"Yeah. We're selling my house. Jack's is bigger and closer to the Mountain. Plus, he has a few spare rooms for my stuff. We were hoping you and Daniel would help us out?"

"I will be pleased to assist you."

"Thanks Teal'c."

"O'Neill will be pleased if you have conceived."

"Yeah. We'll be over the moon."

"Indeed. JacobCarter indicated he desired more Grandchildren."

I laugh.
