When he arrived home he picked up Jakes baby carrier and took him inside Sam following behind. Inside Cassie had excelled the nursery being set up, with toys and the cot ready to just put Jake in.

"We got to thank Cassie somehow" Jack commented marvelling at the job she had done. Sam nodded exploring the small room, the walls were still white but it had the cot, dresser, cupboard, mobile, and cuddle toys making it a baby heaven. He placed Jake in the crib watching him sleep Sam coming up from behind he hugged her.

"Come on" he whispered as they left him sleeping .Downstairs he picked up the phone ringing for a pizza ordering Sam's favourite before sitting down next to Sam and putting his arm around her.

"So you want to talk about it?" Jack asked seeing something was bothering her and had been since Anubis had visited, Sam hesitated for a moment before snuggling closer to him wanting to feel safe in his arms.

"Since I was a kid I have never felt as safe as I do now nor as vulnerable" She admitted, Jack kept quiet waiting for her to go on and explain more.

"I'm scared Jack, Anubis won't stop because the alliance said no, he will hunt me down not stopping until he has me" Sam said. Jack pulled her closer

"And there is not a hope in hell he will get you, not with Thor, Oma, Lya and Rentralla, not to mention the SGC, and then me. He doesn't stand a hope in hell" Jack promised, silence greeted him, so he looked down to see Sam smiling

"I love you" She told him amazed how easily he could make her relax, not following her thread but happy with her words Jack nodded

"I love you too" He replied they sat there both lost in thought until the pizza arrived, Jack answered the door getting pizza and putting the wizard of Oz on as an easy watching movie before retaking his position next to Sam on the sofa. Just as Dorothy landed in Munckin land did Jake waken and begin crying Sam made to get up but jack stopped her

"Its ok, I'll go" he said getting up and going upstairs coming down with Jake in his arms

"Don't suppose you remember to bring the nappies back" he asked hopefully but being able to guess as Sam's face fell as slowly she shook her head,

"No" Jack looked at the clock seeing it was only 2300 he knew the nearby 24 hour pharmacy would be open, taking a breath in he knew he should get going as Jake's potent essence spread around the house,

"Its alright I'll just nip out and get some" Jack volunteered giving Sam Jake to hold. Finding his car keys he left.

Sam sat with Jake on the sofa taking his old smelly nappy off taking him to the tiliet to clean him up but with nothing to replace it she decided it might be better to move to the kitchen and use the tea towel to stop any spillage, as she finished securing it in place the door bell rang. Holding Jake on her left hip she answered the door to see a man with a gun, immediately she kicked out catching him in the chest before turning and running. Whereas normally she would have fought this time she had Jake which hindered her fighting plus she wasn't about to risk him getting hurt, but another appeared behind the first also armed with a gun, as Sam ran she knew he was taking aim but all she could think was where was the alliance those who had promised to protect her.

"Good evening Samantha Carter have a nice sleep" he said as he shot her with his tranquiliser dart.

As Sam fell she made sure to protect Jake as the room turned to black all she could feel was fear hoping she wasn't about to wake up with Anubis anything other than that she thought.

Another short but dramatic chapter, poor Sam doesn't seem to get a break does she???
