Shortly after Jack had gone upstairs, he and Alison came back down to the kitchen. Sam watched in amazement as the two of them silently worked together to make breakfast, it was as if the two of them had been doing it for years, it was so natural looking. Every now and then Jack would look at Sam and gently smile and wink. Whenever he did this Sam could feel her insides go all fluttery. God she felt like she was a teenager all over again.
When Jack and Alison finally sat down at the table, there was a knock at the door. Jenna immediately got down from her chair.
"I'll get it!!" she squealed as she bolted for the door. Sam, Jack and Alison all turned toward the door to see who was there. Then suddenly there was another high pitched squeal.
"Daniel! Teal'c!" Jennas outburst was the followed by an unmistakable fit of Carter-ish giggles, as Teal'c lifted Jenna into the air above his head, her giggles were joined by Teal'c's baritone voice.
"Good Morning Jennafer Carter." Teal'c walked over and sat her back down in her chair. "Was your evening slumber restful?" Teal'c asked, smiling. Jenna looked over to Daniel with her eye brow cocked.
"Teal'c asked if you slept well." Jenna smiled and looked back to Teal'c.
"Yes, I did thank you very much. Do you want some toast and jam? It's my favorite, aunt Sam made some for me this morning, and then Ali came down stairs and read the paper and then she got really angry, and then Jack came down and Aunt Sam got this really funny look on her face, and then Jack said something about an obstilitary, and then he want up stairs and then it was like five minutes and the Alison and Jack came downstairs and made scrambled eggies and bacon and toast, but they didn't have any jam, just butter and then they sat down and then you and Daniel came and then I answered the door and then you lifted me up and out me in my chair and then I told you about the stuff that happened before you got here." Everyone but Alison was staring at Jenna because she had just described the entire morning in less than four breaths.
Sam turned to Alison and asked. "Does she do that often?" Alison just smiled and nodded.
"All the time. After a while it gets easier to drone her out, and sometimes she'll keep on going even after she reaches the present." Sams eyes grew wide.
"Wow."
"Yes I would like some toast Jennafer Carter, but I do not care for Jam." Teal'c finally spoke up.
"Oh, ok." Jenna handed Teal'c a piece of buttered toast, and went back to her own. The entire table burst into a fit of laughter that caused Charles to start wailing. Immediately everyone went quiet. Sam walked out of the room with the infant and after a few moments Jack followed after her.
When Sam had reached the living room she started to rock Charles back and forth and sang to him.
Oh I do believe
In all the things you say
What comes is better than
What came before
And you better
Come come come come to me
Better run run run run run to me
Oh I do believe
In all the things you say
What comes is better than
What came before
And you'd better run run run run to me
Better come come come come come to me
You better run to me
Sams voice was so beautiful, it almost brought a tear to Jacks eye. Jack slowly walked up to Sam and wrapped his arms around her and whispered in her ear.
"I love you very, very much Sam Carter." Sam sighed and leaned her head on Jacks shoulder.
"I love you too Jack." Jack tilted his head so he could kiss Sam but, at that moment, there was a knock at the front door. Jack laid his forehead on Sams shoulder.
"Damn. I'll go get that." Jack quickly crossed the small space to the door, and opened it. Standing right in front of him was none other than Detective Pete Shanahan.
