Wow its amazing how fast the summer goes and school worries come back lol. Next chapter!

The day of the surgery.
Sam was less than excited. She knew ever since the pain in her side started there wouldn't be fun times ahead.
Oh well. At least she had the vacation with Jack to look forward to. And the guys. sigh
Jack, Daniel, and Teal'c had all offered to take her to the hospital that morning, and she had obviously declined even though the pain in her side was near excruciating. But nonetheless, she would not be treated as an invalid, though it had near killed her to say no to Jack.
"Uh…Major Samantha Carter?" an orderly's voice asked, not altogether unpleasantly. Still, she sighed again. Even in a hospital she couldn't get away from her rank.
However, she put on a fake smile and followed the orderly into a prep room.
JACK POV
He knew he shouldn't. He knew he should. He wondered if it was completely necessary. He thought back to the previous conversation with Daniel and Teal'c…well, more with Daniel.
"Jack."
"No Daniel."
"But Jack--"
"No Daniel."
"Teal'c."
"I do believe it to be a wise decision Oneill."
"No Teal'c."
"Jack!"
"No Daniel!"
Daniel plopped down in a chair in exasperation.
"Jack, Sam is in the hospital. I know its not a major thing, but bringing her flowers would be a great thing to do."
"Then you do it Daniel," Jack protested stubbornly.
"I already did. I sent them yesterday so that they would arrive today because I have to brief General Hammond on the progress of P2X591's ecological position and hopefully get him to let us assist them."
"Fine, then I'll have them sent."
"No!"
"Why not?!"
"Because!"
"Because why?"
"Because I think it would be a great way to show her you care if you arrive in person!" Daniel argued.
"She knows I care already!" Jack shot back.
"Offering to drive her like the rest of us was a great touch, but that's not what I meant and you know it," retorted Daniel, fixing Jack with a stare Jack couldn't quite meet. He looked to Teal'c for help, a silent plea in his eyes.
Teal'c smirked a bit and said, "I must take the side of Dr. Jackson, Oneill. I believe Major Carter would be most pleased by this gesture of…..goodwill."
Jack threw his hands in the air, and walked out of the room, finally giving in.
And that was the reason he was driving to the hospital with a bouquet of flowers that took him three hours to pick out in the front seat of his black 4x4 trying to think of a good explanation of his presence to the Major.
Okay that's a bit longer. Got to go for now. Thanx for the Lucky Charms KITTN!! Enjoy guys!
