and finally - this chapter is dedicated to Nightpheonix because she lent me her idea - word for word! (its most of the last conversation!) ENJOY!


The two implanted males turned to the peanut gallery and Daniel stuck out his tongue at them.

How immature… his symbiote sighed in a very preppy manner. Daniel grinned like a fool - with a missing tooth. Jacob glanced down at the little man with an 'okay-i-don't-know-you-anymore' look. Jacob refused to know ANY of SG-1 anymore.

How immature…Selmak commented dryly.

'Mmm… very,' Jacob agreed. Little did the sisters know that they had just echoed each other.

Selmak took one last lingering glance at her sister in such an odd predicament and sighed. Only she could have done that… Selmak mentally shook her head and let Jake continue on with his responsibilities.

"I got it Teal'c, thank you," Jacob said to the young Teal'c, who was still at the mercy of pre-puberty. He simply bowed his head in acknowledgment and hopped into the next chair. "No Teal'c, I'm fine, really. Go… umm… play with Jack and company."

"I have no desire to Jacob Carter, but thank you," Teal'c answered almost whispering.

"It's not that I want to get rid of you or anything…"

Yes you do.

"… but I need to have a chat with Selmak about something."

What!

"That is… 'okay' with me, Jacob Carter," the little black boy answered again.

"Teal'c, please. Just this once?" Jacob had sunk down to begging and they all knew it, especially his symbiote.

Sucka!

'Oh hush you!'

Teal'c finally bowed his head again, hopped out of the chair and moped on back to the other children.

Mean ole Jacob, sending Teal'c off to play with teasing playmates? How did Sam survive you?

'I don't know, ask her...'

Very carefully I suppose.

'Hey, I was a good father!' Jake answered, not really taking much offense to the comment.

Never said you were not. Only said that you were probably intolerable.

'Hmmrghrmm…'

I didn't hear you! Selmak said sing-songy.

'Nothing you over-grown worm.'

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

It wasn't long before Jacob heard some yelling in the cargo area of his ship. It was a guaranteed situation – throw a couple of kids in a room together and something will happen. End of story. Period – no question marks needed.

Teal'c hovered over Jacob's shoulder once again for the third time in an hour or so.

"Have we arrived at our destination yet, Jacob Carter?"

"No Teal'c, we haven't," Jacob said a little exasperatedly to the boy. Teal'c lowered his head, but stayed at his position behind the pilot's seat. Several moments passed by and Jake was getting nervous.

"Oh. Now?" the young Teal'c whispered again.

"No. We have about 6 million miles to go." Jacob watched Teal'c once again bow his head, linger, but move off towards the rear of the ship to his kel'nor'eeming spot in a corner. It had been sometime since they'd left Ammut's ship; somewhere around three maybe four –

"Ja-a-acob! Teal'c's on MY side of the cargo bay!" yelled a loud, interrupting voice which could only belong to one person.

"Jack, Teal'c, get on your own sides!" Jacob sighed, kids... He had forgotten what a handful they could be on long rides. Unfortunately, he had alsoforgotten the pacifiers at home…

"Ja-a-acob, Djari's on MY side of my mind!"

"Daniel, Djari, get on...your own...just get along!"

"Dad, I hafta go POTTY!"

"Can you hold it, sweetie?"

"NO-O-O-O!"

"Alright Sammie, you're going to have to go in one of the escape pods."

"But Daa-aad, that's YUCKY!"

"I'm sorry dear." Then Daniel and Jack decided to put up a bit of a fist fight – boyish masculinity kind of thing. Slowly losing his temper, the Tok'ra took in a deep breath.

"Do I have to pull this ship out of hyperspace!" Once again quieted, Jacob slumped in his chair and sighed heavily.

There were some days when he wondered why he signed up for this job.


(giggles) REVIEW! or i will pull this ship out of hyperspace and you'd better believe it!
