Jack and Jacob came walking up the path just as Sam was hobbling out to the dock to see Cassie and Daniel, Rico bounding along at her side. She immediately noticed the redness and swelling around Jack's eye, and the sheepish look on both faces as they silently approached her.

"What happened?" she asked accusingly with a slight smirk flitting across her face.

"How are you doing, Sammy?" Jacob asked in return, effectively changing the subject.

"I'm okay, Dad. Can you do anything to help my knee heal faster? I want to get back into the lab as soon as possible. Janet won't clear me until I can go a whole day without the crutches." Sam hugged her father tightly. She'd missed him the past month, but she always understood the Tok'ra needed him and Selmac.

"Speaking of which, where are they and why aren't you using them?" Jack's face contorted, showing his concern for her as he pulled her into his arms for a good morning kiss. "He knows," he whispered gently to her to stave off her struggling.

"Dad?"

"Just be happy kiddo." He leaned forward and brushed a kiss across her cheek and watched the two as they exchanged looks. He couldn't help the smile break out across his face as the sparks flew between them.

The three joined Daniel and Cassie on the dock, watching Teal'c row around out in the small boat Jack kept tied up. Rico immediately jumped in the water begging to play with anybody who would throw him something. Jack grabbed his ball out of the grass and threw it into the lake.

"Well, you guys are early, so I can't say there's much up here yet. Nobody else is supposed to arrive until the day after tomorrow," Jack said standing and wrapping his arms around Sam.

"Not to put a damper on everything, but don't we have too many people up here already? Your cabin's not that big, Jack." Jacob looked skeptically at the couple, wondering who else was supposed to meet them.

"There's another one on the property that's bigger. This is more of the 'hideaway' cabin. The other's a little more obvious, so I don't go there that often," Jack answered with a shrug.

"How many people are you expecting?"

"Eight, or nine, I don't really remember."

"So who are they?"

"Oh, just the rest of SG-1, my family, and a couple extended." Jack shuffle apprehensively at the thought. Sean had already warned him he wouldn't be received well by his other son, but it didn't stop the hurt he felt.

"I guess until they show up we'll just help you get everything settled," Daniel said from his spot on the dock.

A/N: Okay so i didn't think i'd be posting another one so soon so feel lucky. My "big bro" just got back from boot camp and tech school so we've been hanging out, didn't get back in until 2 am this morning cuz his flight got delayed. Air Force One was stopped at the airport they were at so it took them a while. Okay more soon! thanks y'all!
