A week later, over the weekend, they all pitched in and helped Sam move into her new home. Sam's new furniture had arrived the day before. Jack helped Sam out while the rest of the group stayed on the base to catch up on some work. Jack spent the night with Sam in her new home; they decided to christen the new bed and the shower.
The next day they went to Sam's old house and finished packing everything into boxes and started putting them into the back of Jack's truck. They had just finished when Teal'c puller up in his SUV with a big trailer on the back. They had started putting things in the trailer when Cassie arrived and then ten minutes later Daniel, Sarah and Jonas arrived in Daniel's SUV with another trailer on the back.
Within three hours Sam's old house was empty and everything was in her new home. There were surprised when they saw all the new furniture but they all loved it. Sam called and ordered pizza for lunch after everything was put away. They were all in the games room, playing games as well as talking and relaxing.
When the doorbell rang, it played the MacGyver theme song. They all look at Sam as she left to answer the door. When she returned they were still looking at her as she put the pizzas on the bar.
"What"
"Sam, what was that tune?" Cassie asked.
"MacGyver's theme song. "
"Your joking; Jack did you know about this?" Cassie asked.
"Yes, I told her to get the Simpson's theme."
"Come on, let's eat up before it gets cold" they enjoyed the pizzas and drinks. They talked for the rest of the afternoon and evening.
Two weeks later Sam was at the airport to pick up her brother and his family for Thanksgiving. When she saw them, she waved to them and they saw her and waved back. The kids ran up to her and gave her a big hug and kisses and then she gave Mark and Laura a hug before they went to get their bags and walked to the exit to where the car was parked. Sam had traded in her Volvo for an SUV. Once everyone was in and buckled up they left to head to Sam's house.
"Sam, where are you going?" Mark asked.
"Home. Remember, I have a new home now."
"Sorry I forgot. I hope there is enough of room for us?"
"Mark, you are going to be shocked when you see the house. I know that you have seen the photos but it is better to see it in person."
"True, but are you sure there is enough room?" Sam laughed.
"Yes Mark, the kids are also going to love it. You know the size of your living room?"
"Yes."
"Just imagine it four times bigger that that; that's my living room. "
"You're joking?"
"Nope, every thing is big, even the master bathroom is three times bigger than yours."
"Wow, that is big Sam" Ten minutes later Sam turned down the driveway.
"Wow" Mark said when he saw the size of the house.
"Auntie Sam, your house is huge," Karen said.
"Thanks, wait until you see the inside" they got out of the car and walked up the steps, across the patio to the front door. They saw Sam open the box and touch the white stone and then the light changed from green to red and then she closed the box and opened the front door.
"Sam, what was that?"
"My security system" they walk in and took their shoes off before following Sam in to the lounge and then her cell phone rang.
"Carter… what?when?…Couldn't Siler fix it?…ok, I'll be there as soon as I can" then she hung up.
"Sorry guys, I have to go. Jack should be here in about ten minutes and he will keep you company. The kitchen is through here, help your selves and the powder room is the first door on the right. I'll be back as soon as I can."
"Ok Sam. Who is Jack?"
"My CO, Colonel Jack O'Neill. When we are off duty we call one another by our first names and when we are at work it is Sir, Colonel, Major or Carter."
"Ok see you when you get back."
"Ok, sorry about this guys."
"Hey, we will talk later, go."
"Thanks" then she went out the front door again and got back in her SUV and headed to the base.
They looked around and put their bags next to the staircase before they walked into the kitchen.
"Wow, Sam wasn't kidding about the size of this place" Laura said.
"Hey Dad, look out here" Karen said.
They went outside to look at the back yard. They saw the big picnic table and barbecue area, swimming pool and the spa hot tub. Sam had it put on the patio and it was covered. There were wooden chairs around it, as well as lounge chairs by the swimming pool.
"Wow, this must have cost a fortune."
"Yeah, I'll say."
