Twins Chapter 6: Coming Home

Their exit was blocked, and for the first time in his life, Jack was really worried. Off course, he had more to worry about than just his team. What he was worried about, which he hadn't felt since Charlie had died, what would happen to Lottie and Xander if they never returned, and then suddenly he heard, "O'Neill!" Jack looked around to see Sam, Daniel and Teal'c stairing at him, "We have to get out of here," Teal'c insisted.

"I'm sorry," Jack said, "What were you saying?"

Teal'c looked at Jack, "I believe that if we successfully hide from the Jaffa, they will leave, having found nothing of worth, then we can access the gate."

Jack nodded, "All right campers," Jack whistered, "Move out."

The four made it to the hills, and found a good spot on a hill overlooking the Jaffa that were blocking their access route. The Jaffa, while not very numerous, were too many than they could have taken in broad daylight without risking serious casulty, So they watched. The day progressed, and the Jaffa didn't seem to be interested in leaving. But Jack knew they had to act, "All right, here's Plan B."

"What was plan A?" Sam asked.

"The Jaffa not coming through the gate, so, Plan B, the sun's about to go down, we wait for dark, then we sneak to the Gate, and then Gate out before they're any the wizer."

Sam smiled, obviously had thought of another thing to say, but kept it to herself, "That'll work, they don't seem to be that interested in guarding the gate, one maybe two guards at any given times, they obviously think their alone, let's get out of here before any of their friends show up."

Sg-1 made their way down the hill in the dark, unbenowest to the ten Jaffa. "All right, the timing has to be perfect. When we get to the gate, Daniel, you dial the gate, and at the exact moment Teal'c'll set off the charges in the hills, Sam, you send the IDC code, everyone understand the plan?"

Sam smiled, and trying to lighten the mood, "So, Colonel, what's your job?"

"To shoot at the Bad guys, to make sure my beautiful wife gets home to tuck in out babies," at that moment they reached the edged of the forest, and they all went silent, and got ready to defent each other's backs.

The last hundred yards to the gate were flat and empty, two Jaffa were standing guard at the gate, but it looked like the rest were sleeping in one of the tents. As they got near, they recognized the two Jaffa to belong to the god Apophis, and within seconds, Jack and Sam had taken out the two guards with Zats, and Daniel started dialing the gate, and as it activated, they stood on guard until Sam could send the IDC code through, and Jack said through the gate, "Open the iris, cause in a minute, we'll have about 8 angry Jaffa awake and mad!"

"Come on through, SG-1" Hammond answered from earth.

The four, without any hesitation, went through the gate.

Hammond had run down to the gate room to greet SG-1, who being six hours late, he had almost been pasing his office from worry, "Welcome back SG-1, your six hours overdue."

"We had some company, in about 10 jaffa, but we were able to get to the gate under the cover of darkness, and come home with no injuries."

Hammond nodded, "Very good. Because of the late hour, why don't you folks, after being checked out in the infermerey, head home. We'll debreaf in the morning."

Hammond saw the relief in Major Carter's eyes, "Thank you sir."

In a record time of fifteen minutes, SG-1 were cleared, and Sam and Jack practically ran off the base and to their car, and speeded home. While Jack was driving them home, Sam thought about how different her life was now than before they had been stranded on the planet. Before she had spent weeks on end on the base, because she loved her work so much. Now she couldn't wait to go home and watch them sleep. "Jack, I just thought of something."

"What?" Jack asked, giving her that cocky smile she loved.

"I have designed many advanced technologies, and countless mathmatical formulas, but none of that even comes close to the two Angels that we created together."

Jack took her hand and kissed the back of it, "I couldn't agree more."
