Ilovesg1 – Thanks I was kinda worried about my argument for not going off world but the story demanded she stay on earth. I'm glad to know it worked though and thanks for your review. I'd love a Teal'c security system too; I'd never have to worry about break-ins.

Chapter 6

"So everything's okay"

"Yeah so far so good, no sign of any hearts and we even have Sam laughing"

"Genuinely laughing?"

"Definitely genuine"

"Okay then, thanks Jack"

"No problem, see you tomorrow"

"Bye" Janet hung up the phone, she had called Jack to make sure that Sam was alright and was glad to hear that she was okay.

"They're fine" Janet said as she walked into the living room and sat down next to Daniel. "Jack says she's even laughing"

"Fake laughing for their benefit or genuinely laughing?"

"Genuinely laughing"

"Well that's good" he said as he absently pushed a stray strand of hair behind her ear.

"Yeah it is" she said not sounding completely convinced.

"Jack and Teal'c will look after her, no one can get by Teal'c let alone Teal'c and Jack together"

"You're probably right, it doesn't stop me worrying though"

"It doesn't stop me worrying either, but it helps"

Janet leant her head on his shoulder and he put his arm around her and held her tightly. Neither of them had slept for almost two days, they had been awake watching movies when Sam had called. Daniel had finally given in and let Janet watch Jersey Girl and she had agreed to let him watch whatever film he wanted to after. He had of course chosen The Mummy.

"I love you" Daniel said as he kissed the top of her head.

"I love you to"

The two of them sat in silence and it was a few minutes later when Daniel realised that Janet had fallen asleep. He thought about carrying her to the bedroom but he didn't want to risk waking her up. He decided to stay where he was and moments later he had fallen asleep to.

"I believe you owe me sixty dollars" Teal'c stated as Jack landed on the square which Teal'c had bought fifteen minutes ago.

"Damn" Jack stated as he handed over the money. "I always was bad at Monopoly"

"It was you're idea to play" Sam stated smiling.

"Yeah I didn't realise at the time that Teal'c would kick my ass"

Teal'c was in fact winning the game, he owned half the board and was quickly developing all of his property. Despite the amount of money Teal'c had spent on his little empire he had more money than Jack and Sam put together. Sam had to admit she hadn't expected Teal'c to do this well when they had started.

"We should have stolen Daniels Play Station" Jack said thoughtfully.

"Can we not do that tomorrow night O'Neill?"

"Now there's an idea" Jack said and Sam had to suppress a laugh as she listened to the two men plot how they would steal Daniels games console.

"You could just ask to borrow it" Sam suggested receiving odd looks from both of them.

"Where's the fun in that?" Jack asked and smiled as the two of them went back to planning their theft.

"Can we finish this game in the morning I'm really tired?" Sam asked.

"Sure"

"You coming?" Sam asked Jack as she stood up.

"I'll be there in a minute"

"You're actually letting me out of your sight?" she asked with a curious look.

"Good point" Jack said standing up and receiving a shake of the head from Sam. "Teal'c are you sure you want to sleep on the couch, you're more than welcome to use the guest room?"

"I will remain downstairs" Teal'c stated wanting to stay downstairs so that he could be sure no one came into the house during the night. He knew that in the unlikely event that someone tried to get in upstairs that either Jack or Sam would probably know about it.

"Okay"

Sam walked up the stairs to the bedroom closely followed by Jack. She couldn't believe how tired she was, but then she had been woken up because of McAdams twice now. She got into bed and automatically curled up against Jack and was asleep in minutes.

Teal'c woke up the next morning, there were no other sounds in the house so he figured O'Neill and Major Carter were still in bed. He looked around downstairs for any sign that someone had been inside the house. He knew he would have been aware of any presence in the house during the night but he felt the need to check anyway.

He had a bad feeling that he couldn't seem to shake. During his time with SG1 he had learnt to trust his instincts far more than he used to. He had seen his team mates use their instincts to save their lives and the lives of others and had seen them use their instincts, feelings and hunches to avoid bad situations and know when something was wrong.

When he found nothing he stood still for a moment, still unable to shake the feeling that something was wrong he opened the front door and saw it straight away. Another red heart painted on the outside of the front door. Teal'c quickly closed and locked the door. He then immediately went upstairs and into the room O'Neill and Major Carter were sleeping in. He walked to the side of the bed and woke O'Neill up.

"What is it Teal'c?"

"There is a red heart on the front door" Teal'c told him keeping his voice quiet.

Jack sat up quickly but carefully "Inside or outside?"

"Outside"

"So he didn't get in the house?"

"I do not believe so"

"Alright you'd better call the others and let them know, I'll tell Sam"

Teal'c nodded his head and went back downstairs, he knew Daniel Jackson would be at Dr Frasier's house so he picked up the phone and dialled Dr Frasier's phone number.
