Sam got off the elevator and walked toward her lab. It had been so sweet of Jack to let her sleep. He had even made a fruit salad and pancakes for her when she awoke.
She smiled. Two weeks. It had been two weeks since she had become Mrs. Jack O'Neill. One week at Jack's cabin plus travel time had left a couple of extra days for them to get settled in his house. They had determined that with the baby, they could use the extra space that Jack's house afforded, not to mention the spacious backyard.
"Sam!"
She turned. "Daniel!"
"Welcome back!"
She smiled. "Thanks." She gave him a hug. "How've ya been?"
"Good. You?"
"Good."
Daniel yawned and Sam looked at him, curiously. "Tired?"
"Ya think?"
She chuckled. "I think I'm the one who's supposed to scare people by using Jack's signature phrases."
Daniel simply yawned again in response.
"Are you okay?"
"Fine. I've just been having these…dreams lately."
"What about?"
"Well, I'm back in Chicago before the Stargate Program, working with Sarah."
"What's so weird about that?"
"Well, lots of little things…uh, my hair's different for one…"
She smiled. "Come on, Daniel, it's not like you don't have some issues."
"Oh yeah."
She swiped her access card and walked into her lab. "Apparently, Dr. Lee and his team of scientists have started working on a jamming device that works on the goa'uld wrist devices. They want my help."
"You're excited."
She turned. "What do you mean?"
"Don't play innocent, Sam, you've got that gleam in your eye."
She raised her eyebrows. "I've got a gleam in my eye?"
He shrugged. "It's there whenever you get a new project."
She chuckled. "Well, I have been gone for two weeks."
"In other words, you're dying to get your hands on it, and I should leave."
She bit her lip, sheepishly. "That obvious, huh?"
"Only to us." Jack said, entering the lab.
"Jack!"
"So, Dr. Lee found you."
She smiled. "Yep. Cool, huh?"
"Just remember to play nice with the other kids."
"I'll try to retain my composure."
Daniel yawned. "I'm gonna get some coffee."
Sam gave a sympathetic smile. "Maybe you should talk to someone about those dreams."
"I thought I had."
She grinned as he left. She walked around her lab, setting up her laptop and other equipment, humming as she went. She was unaware that Jack was watching her until she turned back to face him.
"Humming?"
"I was?" She asked, genuinely surprised.
"What's his name?" He asked, a twinkle in his eye.
"Now, why-?"
"Humming."
She smiled. "I'm not at liberty to expose his identity."
"Really? Federal agent? Witness protection?"
"Former black ops." She said, stepping toward him.
He raised his eyebrows. "Dangerous. You sure you're ready for that?"
"You forget what I do for a living."
"Yes. You and your…quarks."
A giggle escaped her throat and Jack grinned victoriously. "Quarks?" She asked.
He put his arms around her. "Well, you do work in deep space radar telemetry."
She kissed him. "Yep. And my work is never done, so…if you'll excuse me, I have work to do."
"So, it's serious?"
She looked at him, a sassy look in her eye. "What makes you think that?"
"He's hum-worthy."
She grinned and walked away, leaving that as his answer.
