Chapter 3

The new day saw Jack rising early, his sleep didn't go without the odd reminder of his time with Baal, but he had to admit it hadn't been as bad as it had before. He tested out the water in the shower and found that it had indeed heated up enough. He decided to take a quick shower, so he would leave enough hot water for Sam. After his shower he decided to start breakfast, 'nothing like the smell of bacon to wake up his 2IC' Jack thought. He didn't even get everything out before he heard Sam enter the bathroom and heard the shower start.

Jack figured that by the time Sam finished in the bathroom, he would have breakfast ready. He had to admit it was nice having company at his cabin, it would help keep him from wallowing in self-pity for a week. He set the plates on the centre island that served as the breakfast bar. A few minutes later Sam entered the kitchen area, her hair was damp and she had a towel around her shoulders over a grey zip up sweatshirt covering a blue t-shirt. Jack noticed the way the blue matched her eyes, and the way her jeans fit nicely; he couldn't help but grin at the sight of her.

"Ready for breakfast?" Jack asked standing next to the stove.

"Sure am, I'm starving." Sam said as she pulled up a chair. "Wow, look at that."

"What?" Jack asked as he filled the plates with bacon and eggs.

"The weather Sir, ah Jack." Sam said pointing out the window.

"Yea I think it started snowing late last night, by the looks of how much snow has accumulated." Jack said as he went to retrieve the toast.

"I hope Teal'c and Jonas are going to be okay on the trip here." Sam said still looking at the falling snow.

"Yea, I called Teal'c earlier; he and Jonas are going to hop a flight and rent a car at the airport. By the way, when did Jonas learn how to drive?"

"I taught him…Jack." Sam said with a smile.

"Really? I hope you didn't teach him how to ride a motorcycle."

"Next thing on my list…then lock picking." Sam said grinning.

"Really Sam, your going to corrupt our newest member of the team." Jack said taking a sip of his coffee.

"Well he still has to learn wormhole physics." Sam said taking a bite of her toast.

"Gee you know how to spoil the fun of things don't you Sam?" Jack said grinning.

"I'll have you know Jack, wormhole physics can be very fascinating ergo fun." Sam said finishing off her juice. She stared out the window once again, "So what's up for today? Do you still go ice fishing when it snows this hard?"

"Not really actually, but I think I have some snow shoes around here, if you're up for an outing?" Jack asked.

"That sounds like fun, look since you cooked why don't you let me clean up Jack."

"You don't have to do that Sam, it's my place and…."

"…and I invited myself and the rest of team here on you. The least you can do is let me help clean up."

"Knock yourself out Sam." Jack said smiling.

Sam got up from the chair and draped the towel over it, then grabbed the plates and headed towards the sink. Jack also got up to show her where things were, Sam leaned over to empty the plates in the garbage.

Jack's eyes grew big in surprise and fear…
