Okay, first of all, sorry it's been a while but life's been a bit hectic recently. Thanks to everyone for the lovely reviews and I hope you like this next chapter. I tried to take on some of your ideas on how Sam might get a bit bored with nothing to do, so I hope you like.
This chapter is dedicated to JackO'neillKicksAlienButt after I received a very nice email! Cheers!

Sam Carter was bored out of her skull! This was her first day off work, stuck at home with nothing but chat show hosts to keep her company and it was only 9:45!
"Shoot me now" She thought to herself as she reached forward for the remote. Janet had stopped by this morning to ask how her date had gone and to give her supplies to get her through another day in a wheel chair.
Her date….Well what was supposed to be the most romantic night of her life with none other than Jack O'Neill had been cut short by an emergency at the SGC. So there she was, left home alone with pasta on the stove but no one to share it with.
Yes, so it wasn't Jack's fault but she still couldn't help being a little bit cheesed off. How dare the universe need saving when Jack O'Neill was cooking dinner for her. Come to think of it, Jack can cook? Sam smiled to herself before reaching for the pack of Malteasers to her side.
Maybe date number two will be more successful?

"O'Neill" Jack said gruffly as he answered the phone in the middle of his date for the second time this week.
"You're requested on base Sir" the airman told him quietly, scared he would get shouted out for delivering the bad news. Jack just sighed.
"I'll be there in twenty minutes airman" He stated before flipping his mobile phone shut.
"I'm so…"
"Don't be" Sam told him before pulling back from the table, and wheeling herself into the living room.
"So much for date number two hey?" She thought to herself as the door closed behind Jack as he made his way to the mountain.

"General I mean it. If Thor calls, tell him I'm busy, if the Gou'ald call, tell them where to shove it, anyone else calls, forward it on to Daniel!" Jack smiled evilly before strolling out of the General's office and home to Sam.
When he reached the surface, he hopped into his truck and down to the bakery on the corner that sold Sam's favourite toffee pie, before heading to the café in town where he had ordered the food for the picnic. Jack O'Neill was getting sappy in his old age.
Jack arrived home at 6pm to find Sam asleep on the sofa. He smiled in her direction before grabbing a blanket and placing it over her before setting to work. He grabbed another blanket from the cupboard in the hall and lay it on the floor in front of the couch after moving the coffee table quietly as not to wake Sam. Then he lay the food out before gently waking Sam up.
"Hey sleepy head" He said while grinning wildly. Her hair was sticking out everywhere and her clothes were creased but she had never looked more gorgeous to him.
"Hey, how was your day?" Sam asked him as he kissed her on the cheek.
"Ah, ah, no speak of work at all tonight Sam. This date will not be ruined by the SGC okay?" Jack told her and she smiled.
"Whatcha got in mind fly boy?" Sam asked as Jack stepped back to reveal the picnic. As a finishing touch he had dimmed the lights and lit candles around the room.
Sam was amazed.
"Jack this is wonderful" She gushed as Jack helped her to the edge of the sofa. He then sat down in front of her on the blanket and started to dish out the food.
"I'm sorry it took us so long to get here Sam. Tonight it's about you and me not whether the Tok'ra need help moving or not." Jack told her and she couldn't help but smile as he tried to cover up his romantic side with jokes. She decided to play with him just a little.
"This is all very romantic for a tough Colonel isn't it?" Sam asked smiling.
Jack blushed, "Drop it now okay" he warned her jokingly, "or I won't be doing anything like this for a long time missy!"
"Missy? Oh you so did not just call me that!" Sam said in mock horror before picking up a piece of toffee cake and pushing it into Jack's face.
"Right that's it!" Jack said as he rose from the floor and headed towards the couch fast, with toffee cake in his hand.
"Jack don't! I'm at an unfair advantage!" She said, referring to her leg as she tried to hide behind the cushion.
"What a shame hey?" He smiled mischievously before holding her body down and smearing the toffee cake down the centre of her face. Sam squealed and pushed Jack away causing him to trip over the picnic basket and crash onto the floor.
"Man down! I repeat, man down!" Jack shouted jokingly as Sam fell about laughing on the sofa. Jack smiled in her direction, before getting up once again and heading towards Sam.
He perched himself on the edge of the sofa and leant in to capture her lips in a passionate kiss. As they pulled apart, Sam cheekily licked his cheek rid of toffee cream.
"Uum, Jack O'Neill AND cake, what more could a girl want?" Sam asked before capturing Jack's lips again.
The phone rang. Jack groaned. They pulled apart.
"I don't believe this" Jack said angrily as he headed towards his mobile phone. The screen read 'Daniel'.
"What Daniel?" Jack asked irately as Sam just sent him a calming smile.
"You're needed on base Jack, sorry" Daniel said trying to hold back his snigger.
"Fine" Jack groaned before ending the call and heading back to Sam.
"I'm so sorry, I promise I'll make this up to you Sam" He told her before kidding her on the lips once more.

"General? What's happened?" Jack asked as he burst into his office interrupting the General's meeting with Kawalsky. Jack smiled slightly in the direction of his friend as he waited for news of a new alien attack.
"Colonel?" Hammond asked, bemused as to why Jack was stood in the doorway. Hadn't he made a big fuss about not coming back only two hours ago?
"Daniel called, said I was needed on base. What for?" Jack asked, getting a bit annoyed now wanting the General to just come out with the bad news.
"Nothing Jack. Nothing's happened your not needed, I don't see why he called" Hammond told him as Kawalsky figured out what had happened, trying to hold back his laughter until Jack had left.
"General, start looking for a new archaeologist, your old one won't be returning to work on Monday, at least not fit for duty" Jack threatened before groaning once more as he turned to stomp out of the office.
-----xx-----
"Jack? Jack what's up?" Sam asked worriedly as Jack slumped down onto the sofa angrily.
"I need to find a way to kill Daniel that won't get me into too much trouble" He told her in all seriousness.
"What's happened?" Sam asked as she snuggled up closer to him, trying to calm his angry mood.
"Turns out I wasn't needed on base, it was simply Daniel's revenge." Jack said and sighed, "So all that time wasted, when I could have spent it with you" He told her looking straight into her blue eyes.
"Well lets just forget about it now Jack and finish off what we started. Don't let Daniel ruin the rest of the night, we'll sort him out tomorrow." She told him and smiled mischievously as she leant forward to kiss Jack once again.
