Once they almost got everything they look at the turkeys, Jack got the biggest one there, so he got two of them just in case any more guests show up. Once that was in his trolley he got frozen vegetables and put them around it and on top. Then they carry on shopping. The place was packed so luckily they split up to get the things they wanted to get then they meet at the counter hour later.
Sam went through first, then Jack. Once everything was packed and Jack paid for the food, they manage to get out of the shop and headed to his jeep
"Boy talk about crazy in there" he said
"Yeah, I think this Christmas we shop early" Jack smile
"I would like that"
They put everything into his jeep and Jack put the trolleys back while Sam got into the jeep then he return and got in a few minutes later
"Lets get home, shall we"
"Sounds good to me" then they were on their way home.
When they got there they use their powers to take everything in side and put them all the way. Then Sam went to sort out the washing then return and sat down next to Jack in the living room.
"Sam have you spoken to your parents?"
"I called mum to find out what they got plan... they are going to have a house full tomorrow, she didn't even ask if I was going there for the holidays"
"Ok, well at least we got each other?"
"True"
"What would you like to do now?"
"How about a game of pool" she said smiling
"Sounds good to me"
They got up and walked down to the game room to play and listen to some rock and roll music while talking. Sam won her game when they heard a car pull up so Sam turn the music off and follow Jack down to the foliar and look outside to see Mark and a girl getting out of his car. They got their bags and boxes of pizza then they walk up to the door when Jack open it making them jump
"Mark you didn't say anything about extra guests"
"I try to call you this afternoon to see if it ok, Ann flight to New York was cancelled due to a storm hitting the West Coast and the airport is close"
"Yeah we heard, come on in where it is warmer"
"Thanks Jack"
They walk in side and into the living room, they put their bags and pizza down.
"Captain Jack O'Neill, Sam this is Cadet Annie Cole… my girlfriend, Ann this is Jack and my sister Sam"
"Sir"
"Call me Jack when we are off duty"
"Yes sir… Jack"
"Good so how did you two meet?"
"We are in the same class together and was paired up"
"Ah, well why don't we sit down and eat dinner before it gets cold"
"Good idea" Sam said
"I'll go and get us a drink, mark the usual"
"Yes thanks Jack"
"Annie, what would you like, we got beer, wine, soda, orange juice, milk, water"
"Soda thanks Jack"
"Ok I'll be right back" then he walked into the kitchen to get them a drink while they sat down and open up the pizzas.
"Sam, Mark said you go to university in Denver?"
"Yes that right"
"What is it like being the youngest there?"
"It doesn't bother me, so why did you join the airforce?"
"I wanted to follow in my grand father's steps he was in the air force during world war two"
"Ok"
Then Jack return and pass every on a drink then he sat next to Sam, they all pick up a slice and started munching it.
"Ann is the only daughter out of ten kids"
"Wow I know that there was a lot of kids back in the old days" Jack said
"I know" they talk about other things till all the pizza is gone, then they all sat back and relax.
"So Ann, would you like a separate room or share with Mark?" Jack asked
"Separate if it not to much trouble"
"No, no trouble at all" he waved his arms around
"Ann parents are christens and she was brought up that way"
"Ok I understand"
"Ann what is your opinion on age gaps between couples?"
"Well to me I think it is up to each couple so long as they aren't same sex, my parents there is a fifteen year age gap, my father was married before he met and married my mum. His first wife died from cancer, they were married for five years and had three sons, one set was twins" they nodded
"I think in a marriage today is a big step and taking the wedding Vow's is important for all couples"
"That is true and getting to know one another before taking the next big step is important also" Sam said
"That is so true"
"Mrs O'Connor who was a neighbour of ours when we our dad was stationed at San Antonio in Texas, she told me one time that it takes a lifetime to get to know one another" Ann nodded
"Mark shall we leave these two, to talk, let's go down to the games room"
"Good idea" they stood up and walked out of the living room
"Sam Mark told me about you family problem and what your goals are"
"Well things are turning out better than I have plan"
"Oh"
"I can't say at the moment, but it some thing that I love plus more"
"That good to know"
They talk while Sam was cleaning up the mess and put the kettle on for a hot drink. While the kettle was boiling, they took Ann and Mark bags down to the guest bedrooms. They went into Mark room and put his bag on the bed.
"Wow this house sure is big"
"It is, when Jack brought it he had done work done on it before moving in"
"Ok"
Then they walk to where the sheets, blankets, towels are. Sam got them out and they walk in to another guest room
"These guest bedroom sure are big"
"All the rooms except for the master bedroom are all the same size"
"Ok"
They talk while Sam quickly made the bed up for Ann, then she showed her the bathroom and that it connected to Mark room. When everything was taken care off Sam showed her around. When they were up stairs, she showed Ann her bedroom and then Jack room
"Wow this bedroom it three times bigger than mum and dad bedroom in New York"
"Well know you know, come on let's get out drinks and see what Mark and Jack are up to"
They walk back down the stairs and into the kitchen where Sam made them all a drink then they walk down to the games room to see Mark and Jack playing a game of pool. They talk and play games for the next two hours before calling it a night.
The next morning, Jack and Sam were up early cooking breakfast and also started getting lunch sorted out. They just finish cooking breakfast when Mark and Ann walk in
"Morning sleepy head" sam said
"Morning, Jack, Sam how long have you two been up for?"
"Couple of hours, here breakfast is ready" they put plates down in front of them as they sat at the breakfast bar

"Yes I told him while we were doing the dishes, he agreed to the idea"
"Ok thanks for telling me"
"No worries, now I'm going to make the fruit sponge pudding for desert"
"The one with the custard?"
"The one and only"
"Mmm I haven't had one of your fruit sponge puddings in a long time" he patted his stomach
"Well there you go," she said smiling
Then she started making the pudding, tripling the mixture. Then she put them into two big steam pudding basins and put lids on them. Then she cleans up when Jack walk into the kitchen
