Sam was away for the entire afternoon. When she returned home, she put everything away and checked on her washing. Then she sat down and watched a bit of TV and relaxed. While she was watching TV she fell asleep.

When she woke up, it was dark outside, so she closed up the house and went to her bathroom to get washed and clean her teeth before getting changed. She set her alarm clock for the morning before falling asleep.

Two hours later she had the same dream as she had two nights before. She woke up and sat up in bed managing to get her breathing under control, and then she turned to see that it was just after one in the morning.

She lay back down in bed and closed her eyes thinking about Jack and about the fun times they had had up in his cabin for the few days they were there together. In no time she was asleep again.

A few hours later she woke up as her alarm went off. She turned it off and got out of bed and went to relieve herself and then she went to have a shower to freshen up. After her shower she went to make herself a cup of coffee.

While she was having her coffee, her phone rang. She checked her caller ID and smiled, and then she answered it,

"Morning Jack"

"Morning Sam, did you sleep ok last night, any nightmares?"

"Yes I had the same nightmare as the last time, and I am fine Jack."

"That's good, I was worried about you."

"I know, I better go and get ready. I will see you in an hour and don't forget to wear your dress blues today."

"I won't, see you soon Sam" then they hung up.

Sam got herself some breakfast and then cleaned up. She finished sorting out her washing and packed a bag before she got dressed in her dress blues. Once she was ready, she picked up her bag, her purse and keys and left the house, locking the door behind her. Twenty minutes later she arrived at Cheyenne Mountain. When she got out of her car, she smiled when Jack walked over to her in his dress blues.

"Morning Major" He said smiling

"Morning Sir" she got her bags out and locked her car.

"Here, let me" He took the bag from her and their hands touched.

"Thank you sir"

"Shall we?"

They walked together to the first check point; once their hands were scanned and they got the green light, they headed to the elevator. They went through the next checkpoint, going through the same routine before getting into the elevator to the level where the locker rooms were. When the door opened, both Daniel and Teal'c were there waiting for them.

"Hi Jack, Sam how was your week away?"

"Morning Daniel, it was good," Sam said, as they walk town to the SG1 locker rooms.

"Really, well you do look better than you did the last time I saw you."

"Thanks"

"What have you two been up to while we were up at my cabin?"

"I went to see my family O'Neill."

"Ok, how are they?"

"They are well"

"That's good to hear, what about you Daniel?"

"I went with Catherine Langford to Egypt, we went for a dig."

"Ok, find anything interesting?"

"Yes we did; we found four treasure chests full of jewellery and other items as well."

"Sounds like you two had some fun then."

"Yes we did and Catherine says hi to you two"

"Ok, well next time you hear from her, say hi to her from us."

"I will, so how was it up at your cabin Jack?"

They had reached the locker room and Jack passed Sam's bag to her so she could put it away.

"Well we were interrupted by the top brass while up there, other than that everything went ok" Jack said.

Sam put her bag in her locker and then she turned back to where the guys were waiting for them.

"Sam, how was it up there?"

"It was great, I can see why Jack loves it up there and every time we are off world, when he comments about the trees, now I know why. Shall we, we don't want to be late. Do you two know what's going on?"

"Nope, I did get a message on my answering machine when I got back about wearing a suit for today"

"Teal'c?"

"I do not know what is going on O'Neill."

"Ok, shall we" they were all headed to the briefing room when Walter stopped them.

"Morning sir's, ma'am, General Hammond asked for all of you in the gate room"

"Do you know what's going on here Sargent?"

"Yes sir, you better go sir, don't want to keep General Hammond waiting."

"Ok, we are going"

A few minutes later they arrived at the door that leads to the gate room; the SF there swiped his card and when the door opened they walked in and stopped in their tracks.
