Chapter 5
It had been six weeks since Jack had left the SGC. General Hammond had found out that the paper that Jack and Sam had signed was real. He had even found the hypnotist, who was able to bring Sam out of it properly and apologized for what had happened. He told the General and Sam the he thought it was a joke, not that it was for real. He also gave his statement about the Minister and Maybourne.
SG1 has been off world four times with Colonel Makepeace as the new team leader. On the fifth mission, as soon as Sam arrived on the other side she ran to the nearest trees and threw up; Daniel went to help her.
Colonel Makepeace was going to have Sam Court Martialed for disobeying an order. This did not make Daniel and Teal'c happy campers with their new leader.
"Sam are you ok, you look pale?"
"I'll be ok Daniel, it must have been something I ate this morning" Daniel passed Sam his canteen.
"Thanks, I'll be there in a minute"
"Ok, we will get things set up for you."
"Thanks Daniel, I wish Jack was here, he would kick his ass."
"Yea he would, I miss him too Sam."
Then Daniel went over to Teal'c to help him carry the boxes.
"What the hell is wrong with Major Cater?"
"She has just been sick; she hasn't been well for the last couple of days. In case you haven't noticed, half of the SGC has come down with the summer flu and now Sam might have it too, Colonel." Daniel said yelling, and then he turned to Teal'c.
"Come on Teal'c, let's get this over and done with so we can get Sam home and let Janet check her over."
"Indeed" then they walked away.
"Sam said she will be along as soon as she finished throwing up Colonel" Daniel said over his shoulder.
Colonel Makepeace decided to follow them. When Sam noticed that they were out of site, she moved over to where one of the rocks was and sat on it, looking at the Stargate.
"I wish you where here Jack; God I miss you."
"Your wish is my command" Jack said from behind Sam.
She jumped up and spun around to see Jack coming out of the bushes, with a smile on his face
"Jack!"
Sam went over to him and they hugged one another and kissed.
"Sam, I have missed you too. How are you really feeling?"
"I'll be ok, I miss you so much".
"I heard what you said about Makepeace and I so wanted to kick his ass,"
making Sam giggle and smile.
"Jack there is so much going on at the SGC at the moment and with us also."
"What do you mean Sam?"
"How much longer before you can come home?"
"This is my last one, have you got a pen and paper on you?"
"Yes"
Sam gave him her small notebook and pen. He started writing down names on it and then passed it back to Sam.
"Sam give this note to Hammond, he will know what it means. I'll be coming home soon. Now, you better go."
"Ok, when you do come home I'll cook your favorite meal and have a hot bath waiting for you."
"And cake?"
"Of course" Sam said smiling.
"Sweet, you better go now. I love you Sam."
"I love you too, Jack" then she gave him a quick kiss before leaving.
After she walked away, Jack hid something behind some rocks.
An hour later, Sg1 one returned to the 'gate and Colonel Makepeace took the hidden device.
"Gotcha" Jack said quietly to himself, as he watched from behind the boulder.
Sam was the last one to go through the wormhole, she stopped and turned around and Jack stood up from behind the boulder. Sam gave Jack one of her special smiles which always melted Jack's heart and then she turned and went through the gate.
When Sam arrived on the other side, Colonel Makepeace told General Hammond that he wanted Sam Court Martialed for disobeying an order.
"Major, care to explain?"
"Sir, when I arrived on the other side I ran to the nearest bushes sir and I left my breakfast there, sir."
"I see; we will talk about this later, report to the infirmary people." As they were all leaving the gate room,
"General Hammond sir" Sam said after she had waited until everyone was gone.
"Yes Major?"
"Jack is coming home soon sir. I saw him on the planet and he asked me to give you this." Sam passed the note to him; he read it and smiled.
"Ok, thanks Major. It looks like he will be home tonight."
"It looks like I have some shopping to do. I promised him his favorite meal and cake of course and a hot bath" Hammond chuckled and Sam smiled.
"You better go then; oh do the others know?"
"No sir"
"Ok, I hope you are feeling alright Major."
"I hope so too sir; it must be the summer flu that's been going around."
They were just leaving when the gate started spinning. A few minutes later, Jack was back and the SGC people, who were involved, including Makepeace, were arrested. Then Jack turned to Hammond,
"Sir, mission accomplished" Jack said with a smile on his face.
"Well done Jack, I think that a debriefing is in order."
