Thank you all for the wonderful reviews!

On the way home Jack got hungry again, and began to cry and said his stomach was hurting because he was so hungry, and he couldn't wait until they got home. Sam, not sure what to do, gave in to the screaming child, and pulled into the parking lot of McDonalds.
Sam dressed Jack in the back of her car before they headed in.
"Hello, how may I help you?" the lady at the counter asked.
Sam looked down at Jack. "Do you like hamburgers?" she asked.
Jack nodded. "But I want cheese on 'em!"
Sam nodded. "I'd like a hamburger kid's meal please, and a large fries." Sam said as she pulled her wallet out of her purse.
"Ok, it'll come to 4.39," she said as she handed Sam to cups.
Sam handed her a five-dollar bill. "Thank you," she said.
The lady handed her, her change, and said the food would be right out.
Sam turned to look at Jack, but no one was there. "JJ?" she asked. "JJ?" she walked around the line of people to try to find Jack. If she had lost probably the best man at the SGC, let's just say, it wouldn't be good. "JJ!"
She heard a giggle from under one of the tables. Sam looked under the row of tables. "JJ!" she shouted. "Come here now!"
"Peek-a-boo," he said with a giggle. "I see you!"
Sam pulled Jack out from under the table. "Don't ever do that again!"
"I'm sorry," he muttered.
Now Sam felt bad for scolding him. "It's ok, just… don't do it again, ok?"
"'O'tay," he said as he followed Sam to the soda machines.
"What do you want JJ?" she asked.
Jack looked at all the labels. "I dunno," he said.
"What about lemonade?" Sam suggested, remembering that he might not know what any of the sodas were.
Jack nodded in agreement. "Do 'tey have pink?" he asked.
Sam nodded and filled up his cup.

A little while later…
A lady with a little girl walked over to them. "Your son is so cute!" she said with a smile.
"She's not my mommy!" Jack shouted.
Sam looked over at Jack with a scowl on her face then turned to the lady who was looking at them weird. "He's my nephew, I'm his aunt," she said.
"Nu-uh!" he cried. "I 'don have any ants! Or uncles!"
The lady looked at Sam with caution.
"He's just playing around," Sam said with a smile.
The lady nodded. "Um, my daughter was just wondering if your… nephew would like to play on the playground with her," she said.
Sam looked down at the little brown haired girl who was smiling up at her. "I don't like playing by myself," the little girl said.
"Ashley's shy," her mother added.
"Oh, um, no- sorry, um, I have to get JJ home," Sam said.
Jack shook his head. "I 'don wanna go home, I wanna play!"
"JJ," Sam said. "Sorry, but thanks for asking,"
Ashley's smile faded and she ran away.
"Thank you for hurting my daughter!" the mother said as she ran after her.
Sam stood up. "Anytime," she muttered.
"Can I pease stay?" Jack asked as he looked up at her with puppy eyes.
"No, not this time," Sam said as she picked up her purse. "We're going."
"You're mean!" he shouted.
"I know, I'm the meanest person alive, we are going!"
Jack stuck his tongue.

Sam and Jack actually made it home ten minutes later without any stops, Jack was to busy sulking. "JJ, we're here, at my house," Sam said. "Come on, we can go play… something or watch TV!" she said trying to sound like it was the greatest thing in the world.
"I'm not coming out!" Jack shouted as crossed his arms.
"JJ," Sam said. "We can play here,"
"NO!" Jack shouted. "I 'don wanna play with you mean girl!" he shouted.
"JJ, come on," she coaxed.
"No!" Jack shouted.
"JJ don't make me come get you,"
Jack blew a raspberry at Sam.
Sam sighed and opened the side door; she unbuckled Jack and was about to pull him out when Jack kicked her in her stomach. Sam let go of him, held her stomach, and groaned. "That wasn't nice JJ,"
"You're not nice!" he shouted.
"JJ, get… out of the car… now." She said.
"No! You're gonna have to make me!"
Sam sighed, she had taken on dozen's of snakeheads, so why couldn't she take on a three year old? "JJ, please," she tried.
"Nope."
Sam sighed and pulled Jack out of the car screaming and kicking.
"Lemme go!" he shouted. "You big mean 'bally!" his little fist kept punching Sam's shoulders.
Sam ignored him and closed the car door with her foot, and hurried inside her house with Jack in her arms.

Five minutes later Sam was on her cell phone waiting for Daniel to pick up and Jack was sitting on the couch with his arms crossed, his head faced the ground, he had a look on his face that told Sam he was the maddest kid in the world. His new shirt was wrinkled and a small rip where it had caught in the door when Sam had pulled him into the house. His face was red; he was not a happy kid.
"Daniel, pick up!" Sam muttered as she paced up and down the living room with her cell phone in her hands; she rubbed her head as the ringing continued. Sam sighed as she got Daniel's answering machine. "Hey Daniel, it's Sam, call me back as soon as you can, bye." She said then turned off the phone and looked down at Jack.
Jack looked up at her and glared. Sam was wondering how his mother ever managed. Jack was a hard kid to control. "JJ," she said as she walked over to him and sat down. His big brown eyes were now staring at the ground. "I'm sorry," she placed a hand on his shoulder. "I know I was mean… will you forgive me?" she felt awkward apologizing to a three year old.
Jack continued to look at the ground but nodded his head. "I forgive you," he said.
Sam smiled and ruffled his hair. "Thank you," she said. "Do you wanna watch TV or something?" she asked.
"My friend Bobby has a TV." Jack said as he looked up at her.
Sam smiled. "So do I," she walked over to her TV and turned it on. "See?"
Jack's eyes widened. "It's 'cowor!" he shouted.
Sam smiled. "Yes, yes it is."
"I 'don know anyone with 'cower'!" he said as he began to jump on the couch.
Sam put a movie into the DVD player and turned to Jack. "No jumping on the couch." She said firmly.
"Why?" Jack asked as he continued to jump up and down.
"For one thing it's dangerous, for another I said so," she said as she sat him down.
Jack said. "But I wanna pay!" he said, but then got distracted by TV.
Sam let out a sigh of relief and stood up to make something for dinner when her cell phone rang. She dug into her pocket and pulled out. "Daniel?" she asked breathlessly.
"Sam? Is everything all right? I just got your message, sorry I was working on with Teal'c… is everything okay?" he asked.
"Um, for now, Daniel. You need to take him! I-I can't handle him!" Sam said as she sat down and rubbed her forehead. "He's… he's…- Please Daniel?"
"I'm sorry Sam, I don't think that would be a good idea."
"Daniel, you don't understand! He was throwing the biggest tantrums in the stores I went to, he knocked into a display and-"
"My point exactly! I would have to stay here, and think of the trouble he would get into here," Daniel said.
"Daniel! You could… we could keep him a isolation room." She said.
"SAM!" Daniel shouted.
"Daniel, he's so- ahh! He's there one minute and gone the next- JJ?" she asked as she noticed he wasn't sitting next to her anymore. "JJ!"
"Sam? Sam what's wrong?"
"Jack's gone!" she said. "I'll call you back!" she quickly hung up the phone and threw it on the couch. "JJ!" She ran down the hall and began to look in the rooms. "JJ! Come out this minute!" She searched through her bedroom not finding one piece of evidence that he was even in there. She began to search the kitchen, living room, bathroom, study, laundry room, she couldn't find him. Sam was now even more worried, she quickly grabbed the phone and dialed Daniel. "Daniel?" she asked as someone answered it.
"Major Carter?" A familiar voice asked.
"Teal'c?" she asked.
"Indeed," he answered. "Would you like to speak with Daniel Jackson?"
"Yes," she said as she held the phone tighter. "Daniel?"
"Sam? What's wrong?"
"I can't find him Daniel!" Sam said on the verge of tears. "I can't find Colonel O'Neill!"
"Sam, calm down!" he said. "Did you check-"
"I checked the whole house!"
"Sam, I'll send a team to help you find him, ok?"
"Thank you Daniel!" she said as she wiped her tears away. "You'd think I could keep an eye on a three-year-old." She said with a shaky laugh.
"He's not a normal three-year-old," Daniel reminded her. "Don't worry Sam, you'll find him, I'm sure he's not far."
"Bye," Sam said as she hung up the phone and began to search again.
