LadyMo: Jacobs news is coming in the next chapter and thanks for your review!

Jacob came in to find the kitchen empty and clean that was a new one. Mary had insisted that the house be clean before jack could come over so it wasn't that dirty any way.

"Sam? Mark?"

"Yeah Dad?" they replied in unison.

"Come here!"

Gliding down the hall Sam got their slightly before Mark who was trailed by jack. "Hi you must be Jack!" he smiled and shook his hand turning to his children he said, "can you go help your mom bring I in the groceries? Please."

"Hi sweet heart." Cried Mary coming through the do laden with grocery bags

"Mom!" Sam cried happily as she gave her mom a hug. Jack wished he had that type of relationship with his parents.

Making Pizza was a favorite Carter past time. Every other Friday was family movie night and every family night they made pizza. Usually it was just Sam and Jacob who made the pizza but jack offered to help, pulling Mark in along with claiming "it'll be fun!" with a boyish grin that made Sam just melt.

What is wrong with you Sam? Get a hold of yourself girl! He's just another one of your brothers' friends! Shaking herself she said "why not?" she said smiling. "Pepperoni, cheese, sausage, or supreme? Got a favorite Jack? Since you're visiting you get to choose"

"Pepperoni I suppose. Who's on sauce detail?"

"I am." Sam said

"Ok. What do you put in it?"

"Uhh my own secret recipe." She said pulling out a can of pizza sauce.

"Oh well ill have to add some things to it, that's half of my recipe."

And so dinner continued to be made when the sauce was almost done jack asked everyone to go sit in the living room for a bit while he added some special ingredients, only to call Sam back to ask where the spice cabinet was.

"Thanks" he mumbled

"Finished! You can come back now." He said as they all filed back into the kitchen to see his grinning face.

When the pizzas were in the oven and the timer set, Jack was smiling wondering if they would be able to pick out his secret ingredient.

"What are you smirking at?" asked Mark and when Jack turned to face him he launched a piece of pepperoni at his face hitting him on his cheek. When Jack picked up a bit of cheese to retaliate, mark dove for cover behind Sam, using her as a human shield and it was her who got hit with the cheese instead of Mark. When that happened she marched right up to jack and stood face to face with him only to wink and dip her hand into the left over sauce and fling it at Mark who stood their bewildered as the sauce splattered all over his shirt and pants.

"Why did you throw it at me? Jack is the one that hit you!" he sputtered

"Yeah but if you hadn't decided to use me as a shield he would've hit you" using the distraction to his advantage he managed to hit Mark with a fist full of cheese. Sam laughed .smearing a bit of dough on his shirt to complete the mark pizza. When Sam got close enough he quickly reached behind him to grab some pepperoni for her face as well. Gaping at his nerve he stuffed a piece in her mouth as well.

"Wouldn't want you to attract flies!" he laughed and dodged her punch and pushing her into jack as he ducked behind the table. When Mark pushed her jack was forced to catch her and wisped in her ear his plans on how to get him back.

She giggled. "Deal!" she said sealing Marks fate as she dipped her hand into the pizza sauce again and he grabbed a handful of cheese. They both moved around the table on opposite sides giving him no choice but to go under the table causing Jack and Sam to chase him.

When the pizzas were almost done Jacob and Mary came into the kitchen only to witness a horrible mess with jack and Sam on one side and Mark of the other flinging pepperoni, cheese and pizza sauce at each other; Jacob silently walked over to the cabinet to quickly grab a bag of dry beans and bring them back to Mary who snickered and tore into the bag to begin throwing beans at Mark, Sam and Jack. All too soon the timer beeped and the all jumped at the unexpected buzzing. Still giggling Mary quickly told them to go change while she got the pizza out.

When dinner was finished and the dishes cleaned they all sat down in the living room Jack and mark sitting on the floor talking about someone from school. She heard the name Meg and presumed they were talking about the Meg that mark had a crush on, mark didn't know she knew this but one only had to watch. Jacob, Mary and Sam sat on the couch. It was Sam's turn to pick the movie but since she always picked Singin' in the Rain Mary suggested they let Jack pick this time and Sam let him. They then sat down to enjoy The Wizard of Oz. Sam had one thing going through her mind, home. I'm home. The warm feeling that came with it made her smile at everyone in the room.
