A/N. I know, I know, I've not updated as quickly as I should be doing but I promise that the only reason I have not updated yet is because of my training the new starters at work, yeah I know that it's only an excuse but I swear that this story is almost over now so hopefully I won't have to keep ya waiting for the end for much longer and then I have this over longer story in the works as well. Anyways on with chapter 10.
Chapter Ten – Thor
Jack and Sam were lying on the bank of his pond, talking about anything and everything. Jack was subconsciously playing with Sam's hair (which, Sam thought was so relaxing that she could fall asleep) and Sam was again idly tracing symbols on his chest. Suddenly Sam turned to Jack.
"Jack when are you gonna decide who's gonna be your best man, you know that Daniels waiting for you to announce it" Jack just smiled, Sam's mind really did race a mile a minute at that smile.
"I'll tell him later, I promise"
"So did you decide which one?" she probed further.
"Yeah, Danny boy, I think as he knows exactly what is expected of him it will mean more to him"
"We'll have to find something for Teal'c to do" she mused.
"He can be a page boy" Jack smirked, "Or better yet he can carry the rings on the little pillow, so Danny boy doesn't lose them" They both laughed and as they started to calm down they were enveloped in a bright beam of light.
"Please don't tell me Thor just beamed us up" Jack said with his eyes still scrunched up as Sam scrambled to her feet.
"O'Neill, Colonel Carter, Greetings"
"Thor buddy you really gotta work on your timing"
"I apologise, however I need your assistance" Thor said.
"Course ya do, well come on why couldn't the universe cope without my dazzling intellect" Sam giggled as Thor blinked.
"Colonel what did we say about giggling"
"Sorry sir" she smiled.
"O'Neill, I'm afraid I have disturbing news regarding the replicators" Sam's smile instantly vanished.
"The fifth?" she asked.
"No Colonel Carter, it is that they simply have grown too far, I come asking for your assistance in defeating their nest. The Asquard council has designed a new weapon based on Colonel Carters designs and observations. We believe that by destroying the queen we will then be able to destroy the rest of the replicators with relative ease" Thor explained.
"Sweet!"
"Erm … Thor. What exactly is it that you're gonna want us to do that the Asguard can't?" Sam asked gently.
"Merely provide a distraction to allow us to plant the weapon" Thor stated.
"Well so much for our month off, hey hun" Jack smiled.
"I am unfamiliar with that term O'Neill" Thor blinked. Sam laughed as Jack tried to explain.
"No Thor, it's a pet name, it's honey shortened to hun, ya see?"
"O'Neill, why would you call Colonel Carter, honey?" Thor asked puzzled.
"Because we're engaged Thor" Carter said happily.
"This is indeed most happy news"
"Hey buddy, ya might wanna beam up the team" Jack suggested pointedly. Thor didn't respond instead he simply moved an item on the control panel and then Teal'c, Cassie, Daniel and Janet appeared.
"Guys, what's going on?" Daniel asked.
"Thor wants us to storm an replicator stronghold whilst the Asguard plant their new weapon"
"Ah ok so average day at the office then" Daniel retorted.
"Thor how are we gonna get there?" Sam asked.
"We will be departing now, by ship it will take 7 ½ of your Earth hours to arrive at the Replicator home world"
"Thor buddy, d'ya wanna beam up our weapons and stuff from the SGC?"
"Yes O'Neill" After a short pause Thor continued, "Your weapons and sustenance are aboard, I shall depart"
A few hours later, after Jack had made an appearance to Hammond, they were all sat eating the ice cream that Thor had once again neglected to take refrigeration into account for when Cassie's presence was suddenly debated.
"I don't see why I can't help mum, I mean how hard is it to fire a gun" she sulked.
"Cass, you just can't, you can stay with Thor"
"Why do you get to go?" she protested.
"Because young lady, I am still a member of the USAF and have been trained"
"Ok, ok, I'll stay and babysit Thor" At this comment Jack and Sam both snorted into their ice cream and then at the glare Janet was giving them both, Jack changed the topic.
"Ok, well I suggest we all get some rest, Thor has assigned us all sleeping quarters, I think we should all bunk down for at least the remaining five hours"
"Good idea Jack" Daniel agreed.
"You coming Sam?" Jack asked holding out his hand.
"I thought you said rest" Cassie couldn't help but point out and whilst everyone else was laughing Sam blushed but still took the hand offered to her. Jack rolled his eyes and they walked to Jacks room in silence. Upon entering his room Jack whistled.
"For a race that seems to live in those chairs, this is impressive" A huge double bed was in front of them, not really the most decorated of beds but still, it looked comfortable enough for soldiers who were used to sleeping in sleeping bags in tents in the middle of no where.
"You're not complaining are you Jack?" Sam teased.
"No not at all"
As they lay down, Jack pulled Sam against him and spooned against her back. Sam smiled as she thought that no one would guess that Jack O'Neill was a cuddler and slipped off to sleep. The last thing she heard was Jack mumbling against her neck.
"Night Sam"
