Sam's eyes fluttered open early in the morning. The light was still dim, painting everything in shades of grey. She tilted her head up, only them remembering whom she was cuddled up against.

Jack was underneath her, arms around her. Sam's head had been resting on the middle of his chest.

Sam couldn't help it. She had the biggest, girliest grin on her face that she'd for a long time.

Jack roused, moving suddenly, moaning in protest at his sleep being interrupted.

"Cryin out loud." he said, barely audibly, before his eyes blinked open.

"Carter." He said, not in question or in exclamation, but just loud enough to show his confusion.

"I uh."

"Relax sir…I was cold last night…remember?"

"Oh yeah yeah." Jack coughed in discomfort.

"I'd…better move…sir."

"Yeah I was just thinkin' that actually."

Sam grinned sheepishly, a blush engulfing her cheeks. She took a step back and looked back up at Jack in confusion.

"Sir…"

"What?"

Sam looked down at her feet, before looking back up at Jack.

"Uh…why's there an inch of water on the floor?"

"I don't believe this…I do not FATHOM this! I mean…in all the years I've been coming up here!"

Jack was walking round the cabin in endless circles, plastic bags tied haphazardly around his feet, as he tried to pick up as many things as possible from the floor that were salvageable. All the while he was looking incredulously out of the windows.

It had been snowing last night.

That was putting it mildly.

They were well and truly snowed in.

"I mean…two feet of snow! Overnight! On top of the half foot we've already had!"

"How long will it be before someone tries to get up here?"

Jack chuckled.

"Try spring…When there's so much snow about this place is impossible to get to…we're stuck here."

"We should call the SGC…get the Prometheus to beam us out."

Jack gritted his teeth.

"I'm afraid we can't do that…phone mast came down with that tree."

There had been a massive fall of snow during the night. And due to the hole in the roof, a lot of snow had gotten into the cabin, before melting and flooding the cabin. Jack had had to turn off the electricity and the gas in order to make sure there was no fire risk.

"You also know that there aint no way in hell we'll be able to get a camp bed."

"The thought had occurred to me sir."

Jack continued his fretful pacing.

"It isn't as bad as Antarctica sir."

"You might have a point there Carter."

Sam brought her knees up to her chin. She was sitting on the couch, fleece blanket wrapped around her.

"So what do we do now?" She asked

"I uh…get the camp stove and the meths out…and a couple of tins…"

Sam nodded her head.

"…play charades…"

"…Sir."

"Paper, Stone, Scissors?"

"Sir."

"Uh hu?"

Sam smiled slightly, looking at the watery floor.

"You realise this is our first Christmas together."

"Together…Carter we're friends that a-…Oh yeah…you meant literally."

Sam laughed. "Yes sir!"

"Well…Merry Christmas!"

"Merry Christmas!"
