Note: Hey Guys,
Sorry it has been so long. For those who asked I am planning my wedding. I get married on the 29th October. Not long to go now, and unfortunately everything is coming second to that at the moment.
Here is the next one to get you through, sorry it is short but the next chapter will be up soon.
It wasn't until sometime after 2pm that they all decided to meet up for lunch, or a very late breakfast as Daniel pointed out.
Sitting in the hotel restaurant, Daniel and Teal'c had arrived first, shortly followed by Sam who noticed, that they had both chosen to sit next to each other in the booth out of habit so she had no choice but to slide in knowing that a certain General would be sitting next to her in no time. She wasn't sure whether that was a good or a bad thing.
It didn't take long before Jack arrived, but if he felt uncomfortable with the situation he did not make it known to those around him.
"Good afternoon Campers, how did we all sleep" he said cheerfully as he took his seat.
"I slept very well O'Neill" Teal'c responded.
Daniel, who had at this point put his head down on the table and was obviously still struggling with his hang over mumbled without lifting his head. "I don't remember much of anything Jack, but my head is telling me I need more sleep"
"No Daniel, your head is telling you that you need to lay of the Guinness" Jack responded
"Like you can talk Jack" mumbled Daniel again.
Looking at her and smiling Jack addresses Sam next. "So Carter, how bout you, did you sleep well?"
Knowing that he was playing around with her and seeing if she would crack under the pressure Sam responded calmly. "Actually Sir I had a fantastic night's sleep, once Daniel drifted off that is, nothing out of the ordinary, just nice and relaxing"
"Glad to hear it Carter"
They sat in silence for a moment however it didn't last long as Daniel raised his head and asked "So Jack, have you still decided to head to Minnesota for the next couple of days?"
"You're going up to the cabin Sir" Sam questioned and tried to hide the disappointment behind in her voice.
"Ah, yeah, thanks Daniel for reminding me... He glared at Daniel who decided to give up and put his head back on the table. "I um, I have a few days off too and thought it might be a good idea to go and empty out my lake if all the fish"
Teal'c, who had been reasonably quiet all morning, decided this was the time to speak up on behalf of Daniel. "Will you be taking any company on this trip with you O'Neill?"
"I um, Well to be honest I hadn't really though about it Teal'c, why were you interested? I thought you hated fishing"
"I do not hate fishing O'Neill merely the insects that seem to be attracted to us when we are fishing"
"But that's all part of the fun"
Sam decided it was time to speak up, it was now or never she though, there was no way the General was ever going to ask her to go up to the cabin with him after what had happened this morning, so… finding the courage she asked.
"Just a thought Sir, but we are on downtime for the next couple of days, and I really don't feel like hanging around Washington much longer, being my old stomping ground and all, so, well if you would like some company I'm sure Daniel and Teal'c would agree that we would love to come… I mean we all had such a great time after"….. She took a breath …. "After you invited us after Dad died, I personally would love to go again"
Sam stopped, took a deep breath, and as she looked up realised that she had three sets of eyes on her, two of them with there mouths wide open.
"Well Carter, I ah, I never thought I would hear you take up another fishing offer let alone ask if you can come along"
"I'm sorry Sir, I don't know what I was thinking I ah…….."
Interrupting her Jack continued. "No need to apologise Carter, I think it's a great idea, What about you Danny Boy, Teal'c?"
Daniel answered for both of them "Sure Jack, Why not"
