Winter's Lullaby

By les Dani!

A/N: Oookay, I haven't posted in a while. Well, a LONG while. What, with all the bad reviews from chapter 13 (which are OKAY!), and I just couldn't think of anything to write about as a kinda conclusion to the whole, 'I quit, new job' thing. But now, after many months, I have found, INSPIRATION! (AND by the way, I am now 5' 4 ¼". That's tall for an 11-year-old. :-D) Anyway, I would like to thank kahless21 for giving me support, and mainly helping me decide to keep on writing. Chapter 14 is on the way!

Chapter 14: Fun in the Sun

As Jack took out his phone out of his pocket, Teal'c walked over to Jack. He nudged him. Jack looked up and said, "What?"

Teal'c replied, "I do not believe you should make Samantha quit her job today."

"What? Why not? It's not like she's really enjoying it anyway."

"Indeed, but this is your vacation. You should not spend it by quitting an occupation."

"But—"

"I do not believe this should be done today."

"Alright," Jack took a step towards Sam. "Sam, we're not doing any job quitting today."

"Wha—what? Why? Why?" Sam protested.

"Because Sam, it's our vacation. No work stuff allowed. And…Teal'c would kick the crap outta me."

Sam laughed. "Yeah, I guess you're right. Maybe after the cruise."

Jack nodded his head. "Or maybe later toda—ow!" Teal'c had grabbed his arm before he would allow him to even finish his sentence.

"Um…yeah, after the cruise…Please don't kill me Teal'c."

"I shall not." Jack laughed. He was amazed at how this man could keep a straight face for so long, and not actually try. Jack tried to imitate him, and he did it well, for about two seconds before he and everyone else burst out laughing. Except for Teal'c.

"Come on, Teal'c. You don't have to be solemn all the time." Jack said, and poked him repeatedly until Teal'c showed a little smile.

"Um…yeah, so anyway, I hate to, you know, um, rain on your parade--but not really, but, um, Teal'c and I should, um, let you guys change. So, uh, maybe we should leave."

"I agree with Daniel Jackson," said Teal'c. "If we intend to go swimming, then you two must change into your…suits of swim."

"Wait, who said anything about going swimming?" Sam asked as she pulled the covers up over her. "I am going back to sleep."

"Whoa, whoa," said Jack as he strode over to her, while the wood floors creaked. "You are coming, whether you like it or not, because if you don't, I will show your half-dress to the whole wide world."

Sam play gasped. "You wouldn't!" She said.

"I would," Jack replied, grinning evilly.

"Fine, I'll get out of bed. Teal'c and Daniel have left anyway." Sam kicked the floral print sheets off the bed, and walked over to her suitcase, all the while trying to comb her messy blonde hair with her fingers.

"Now don't forget," Jack added, "You have your so-called date," At this point Jack scoffed. "Ah, yes, your date with your ex-fiancé. How exciting is that?" Jack squealed.

"Um, very, I guess." Sam rifled around through all her clothes. "Where is my bathing sui—here it is!" She showed it to Jack. It was a powder blue halter top with little multicolored hearts all over it. The bottoms also had little multicolored hearts on it.

"Wow, a little feminine for you, Sam," Jack said, poking fun at her. What he did not expect was for Sam to jump up and kick him.

"Oww…."Jack said. "That was so mean!" Jack then put on his best "baby about to cry face" and just stood in the same spot, slowly allowing a frown to sweep across his face before he "burst into tears".

Sam laughed and said, "I'm sorry, Jackie-poo. Did I kick you vewy hawd?"

"Oi, don't you use that baby talk with me. You just kicked me. Kicked! Hard! It actually hurt a lot, Sam." Jack grinned.

"I'm sure it did. Now change into your swimsuit!"

"Fine." Jack said, and pulled his suitcase onto the bed to search for his bathing suit. He found it in record time, and changed into it.

After they changed, they gathered all of their required belongings for the pool and left.

"Oh. My. God. The sun is in my eyes!" Sam shouted, and quickly pulled her sunglasses over her eyes. Everyone on the "boardwalk" stared at her.

"Err…Sammy, to save us from any more embarrassment, please don't shout."

In the Pool….

"Ahhh! Teal'c, save me from her! She's trying to KILL ME!" Jack shouted as he swam frantically around the pool. Sam was speedily following him, in a game of pursuit.

Teal'c looked up from his latest copy of "Goul'd Today", a magazine only issued from the SGC.

"It is not in my interest to help you, O'Neill. I am studying further on the Goul'd, so as to be fully prepared for battle."

"Ugh, Teal'c, you're so BORING!" replied Jack, before Sam pulled him underwater. He gurgled a few more remarks before he forced himself up, with Sam behind him and her arms around his neck.

"Damn it!" She said, and climbed out of the pool.

"I'm tiiired…" She moaned, and then continued, "We've been out here for hours. Can we go back to the hotel room, Jack? Pleaaaase?"

"Fine. We'll see you guys later." Jack waved, and then linked arms with Sam and the made their way back to the hotel room.

Little did they know, someone was following them…

A/N: I know, it was a pretty much uneventful chapter, but you need them as a bench-type thing. Now, I'm speaking metaphorically(ish), and here is what I mean: the bench is a resting point so you can continue your walk. Once you get to the woods, it's more exciting.

You see? Ah? Anyway, I hope this was long enough, and that you can forgive me for being such a butthead and not writing any new chapters for SUCH a long time. Anyway, I love you guys who have always stood by me. Thanks!
