A/N: I know..I haven't updated forever...sorry for the looong wait. This chapter was supposed to be way longer, but I decided to split it up….so here's the next chapter….Hopefully my inspiration will return soon so I can continue this story:)

Cassie arrived at Sam's house Friday evening. After she put her things away, in the spare bedroom, she settled on the couch to watch TV and wait for Sam. When Sam got home she joined her on the couch.

"So how's school and everything? Sam asked

"Oh well…you know…it's school."

"Hmm. I hope you've had time to have fun."

"I have" she said smiling "I met a guy last weekend."

"Oh really? A new boyfriend" Sam said teasingly.

"No, we're just friends. We're still in the 'getting to know you' stage. Speaking of a boyfriend, where's Daniel?"

"He's still at the SGC, he said he had some things to do before he could leave."

"So is he coming here tonight?

"I'm not sure. He said he'd call me later."

"OK, so what's for dinner?"

"Um…I don't know…"

"We could call Daniel and see if he's planning on coming over tonight."

"Yeah, I'll do that, maybe we can get him to bring something with him."

"Ooh, let me call him. I wanna surprise him."

Cassie made her way to the kitchen and retrieved the phone then returned to her spot on the couch. While Cassie waited for Daniel to answer, Sam's cell phone rang.

"Carter"

"Hey Sam, I just tried to call your house and the line was busy."

"Yeah Cassie's on the phone, what can I do for ya Cam?"

"I'm looking for Jackson, is he there?"

"No, he should still be there."

"I check his usual hang outs, his office, the commissary, and the infirmary. When I didn't find him I called the gate and they said he signed out a half an hour ago."

"Well he's not here. Did you try his cell?"

"No, not yet. I just figured he'd be with you. I'll try his cell."

"OK, if you talk to him, tell him to call me."

"Alright will do. Have a good weekend Sam."

"You too Cameron, bye."

About twenty minutes later Daniel pulled up in front of Sam's house. He picked up the small bag, that had the ring in it, and locked it in his glove compartment. He then grabbed the groceries he bought for dinner. When he got out of the car and turned towards the house he saw two faces looking out the window at him. It was then he realized he'd forgotten to call Sam. He smiled at them as he walked up to the house.

Cassie glanced at Sam and could tell she wasn't happy. "I'm gonna go wake myself up with a shower." Sam just looked at her and nodded.

Sam met him at the door and took the bag of groceries and headed to the kitchen with out a word. Daniel followed closely behind "so what time did Cassie get in"? he asked breaking the silence. Sam was putting the groceries away with her back to him when she replied, "she was here when I got home." She continued to put the food away. When she finished she closed the cabinet a little harder then intended. It was then Daniel's suspicions were confirmed. Sam wasn't happy. He walked around the island and positioned himself between her and the counter. He gently placed his hands on her arms and asked "what's wrong?"

She straightened and sidestepped out of his grasp. "Nothing."

He crossed his arms "come on Sam. Don't give me that. I know something's bothering you. Are you upset that I didn't call?"

She sighed and turned to face him. "It's not so much that you didn't call. I guess it's because no one could get a hold of you. Cam called here looking for you, when I told him you weren't here he said he'd try your cell. He called back saying he only got your voicemail. I started to get worried. All these horrible things started racing through my head."

When she stopped for a breath Daniel reached up and cupped her face "I'm sorry I didn't call. I didn't mean to worry you. My cell phone battery was dead. I'll make sure that from now on I have the charger OK?"

"Alright, and don't forget to call when you say you're going to."

"OK. So where's Cassie?"

"She's taking a shower. She said she's really tired and she's hoping a shower will wake her up a bit."

"OK, so what do you want for dinner?"

"Well Cass and I discussed it and we feel like pizza."

"Sounds better then the spaghetti I was planning on making."

"You can always make it tomorrow night."

"I suppose. Well I'll go ahead and order the pizza."

Two hours later Sam, Daniel and Cassie were watching TV and talking when Sam received another call from Cameron. This call was concerning SG-1's upcoming mission to P8X-154. The SGC received a transmission form the rebel Jaffa.

"The intel suggests that something big is going to happen within the next few days. Nobody is totally sure what's going to happen. We're still waiting for some more information. Cam says that if the rest of the intel confirms the initial reports then our mission is going to be moved up to Monday. He said he should be in touch either tomorrow or Sunday."

"Come to think about it, last time we were there I heard some men talking about an important visitor returning. I wonder if this has anything to do with that. Let's see. It's been about what three weeks since we were there?"

"Yeah that seems about right. Why?"

"Because they said he was coming around the second full moon."

"Did they say who it was?"

"No just that he was coming from a distant world. It could be anyone."

"Yeah, I guess we'll have to wait and see what else Mitchell finds out."

"So do I get to meet Cameron this time?" Cassie asked

"Oh that's right, you haven't met Mitchell yet. Hmm maybe we could get him to come over or something tomorrow."

"What about Teal'c? I haven't seen him in a long time."

"He's off world. I don't think he's coming back until Monday, so you might not get to see him this time."

"That sucks, I wanted to see him, and what he's doing with his hair now. What about Jack? Does he know I'm here?"

"Um…well…I don't think so. He might still be in town. He came by the SGC today, but I don't know how long he's going to be in for."

"Really! He's in town and you guys didn't tell him I was coming?"

"Well, Cass, the thing is…" Sam started

"He found out about us and he confronted us about it today, and he wasn't all that happy when he left."

"Oh, what happened?" Cassie asked

"I'd rather not get into that right now." Sam said

"I'd really like to see him. Maybe I'll call him and see if we'd be able to get together while we're both in town."

Twenty minutes and several phone calls later Cassie had discovered that Jack O'Neill was 'out of reach'. "I know where he is" Daniel told Cassie. "He's at his cabin. That's where he goes when he doesn't want to be bothered."

"Yeah, but, there's got to be a way to get a hold of him."

"I know he has a cell phone signal up there, so he's probably just not answering. Maybe if you left a message telling him you're here, he might at least call you back."

"Yeah, I guess I could. The message I left before just told him to call me…I didn't tell him I was here."

"You know he loves you Cassie, and I'm sure he wouldn't pass up the chance to see you," Daniel reassured her.

Saturday

Cassie woke up in the morning to the smell of coffee. She slowly got out of bed and after a quick stop in the bathroom, she headed for the kitchen. She found Sam sitting at the table reading the newspaper and drinking her morning coffee (probably her second or third cup).

"Morning Sam, sleep well?" Cassie asked

"Yeah I did. You?"

"Oh yeah. It's so nice to be able to just sleep in and not have to worry about being places at a certain time. I'm determined to have fun and relax today and tomorrow."

"Well that sounds like a good idea. Do you have any thoughts on what you want to do today?"

"Not really. I thought I'd wait until we're all here to decide."

"OK. Daniel should be here within the hour."

"Huh…so he um…didn't sleep over?"

"No, Cassie, he went home last night."

"Oh yeah?" Cassie asked with a wink

"Cassie stop thinking like that! Daniel and I are not sleeping together!"

"You're not? I find that hard to believe."

"Well believe it, it's true."

"Alright, whatever you say…" Cassie was cut off when the front door opened and Daniel yelled "I smell coffee!"

"Yeah we're in here." Sam yelled back

Daniel strolled in the kitchen with a huge grin "Good morning ladies" he said walking passed Cassie and taking a seat beside Sam. "How are we this morning?" he asked

"Fine" the women answered in unison.

"OOOK. Not long out of bed I see", he said looking at Cassie.

"Yeah so? I didn't feel like getting dressed yet."

"Well I talked to Mitchell and he's going to join us for lunch, so what we do before and after is up to you."

"Alright. I really don't feel like doing anything this morning, so we can wait until after lunch."

"I'm supposed to call Mitchell and let him know when and where to be."

"I can't wait to meet him! Ever since Sam showed me his picture I've been looking forward to it."

"Oh and why is that?" Daniel asked

"Hello! He's gorgeous!" Cassie laughed "he's almost as good looking as you."

Daniel's face turned red and he dropped his head and looked at the table.

"Aww look Cassie, you made him blush" Sam giggled.

Later that afternoon ¾ of SG-1 and Cassie met at O'Malley's for lunch. Sam, Daniel, and Cassie arrived first. Sam and Daniel sat on one side of the table and Cassie on the other across from Daniel. After they were seated Sam asked Cassie, "So how cute do you think Cameron is?" Cassie's face lit up at the mention of the Lt. Colonel's name. "Hmm…well on a scale of 1-10, I'd have to say somewhere around 8 or 9."

"8 or 9 what?" Cam asked coming up behind Cassie.

Cassie's eyes widened and her face reddened. Daniel grinned and spoke up "Oh Cassie here was just rating…", he quickly stopped when Cassie kicked him under the table "the um… food. Apparently the food here is better then the food they have in Nevada."

Sam leaned over and whispered "Nice save"

"Thought so" he whispered back

"So you're Cassie? These guys are always talking about you."

"Yes she is" Sam said, "Lt. Colonel Cameron Mitchell meet Cassandra Fraiser."

Cassie looked up at the new member of SG-1 and smiled "Nice to meet you Colonel Mitchell."
