A/n: I had a few chapters written over the holidays. After a few more chapters, I'm going to have to sneak my notebook into French class again... Although thanks to spell-check, I learned how to spell 'Colonel' ! I know its short...But I'm working on it!
As they unloaded their gear, Sam's family came out to help. Jack pulled Sam aside.
"For this trip, let's keep it simple. No Colonel, or sir, or Major, or Carter, to be allowed. I think it would be just a little to confusing calling you Carter.... And for now, lets no say anything about the fact I'm military. I know your brother Mark isn't too fond of us flyboys... I'll just be a scientist for this trip. Is that o.k. with you?"
Sam smiled. "Fine with me. That means I can 'babble' all I want, and you can't tell me to 'shut it', now can you?"
Jack pushed her slightly, and they walked over and rejoined the rest of Sam's family. But Jack was slightly uncomfortable. He felt like he had been getting weird vibes from Michael. Not that he would say anything... they are family after all...
