Chapter four
Then Teal'c and Daniel walked into the mess hall. They spotted the two generals together laughing, so they went over to say hello.
"Good morning sir, hello Jacob," Daniel said.
"Hi Daniel, Teal'c. George here has informed me about what has happened and we are going to help rescue them all before the O'Neill boys become lab rats."
"Indeed, perhaps the Tok'ra could use some human N.I.D as lab rats, General Carter?" Teal' said making all of them laugh.
"Teal'c, I can't believe you made a joke and Jack missed it," Daniel said.
"Well, we will keep that in mind, Teal'c." Jacob said.
"I'm getting some coffee, Sir, would you like another cup?"
"Yes, thanks, Dr. Jackson."
"Jacob, Teal'c, want some orange Juice?"
"Yes, thanks, Daniel," Jacob said.
"Indeed, thank you Daniel Jackson." Teal'c said with a slight bow.
Daniel went to get the drinks, while Teal'c sat next to General Hammond.
"Teal'c, I think you've been hanging around Jack to long," Jacob said.
"I'm still learning the Tau'ri ways, General Carter."
"That's ok, it does take years alright, look at Selmac and me, we are still learning ourselves."
Then Daniel walked over with the drinks on a tray. Once they got their drinks and Daniel had sat down, they started talking.
"So Daniel, what is the latest on the grape vine?" Jacob asked. He knew that both the late Janet Fraser and he talked about what was happening with the SGC personnel.
"Well, nothing much has been going on, but there has been talk about Sam and a guy she is seeing, and it's not Jack."
"I know all about Pete Shanahan. George has been telling me what's been going on. What do you think of him, Daniel, Teal'c, the truth?"
"I do not trust him, he's been asking me questions about Major Carter and her work. I told him that he should ask her. He was not happy!"
"I see, Daniel?" Who was sitting next to Jacob.
"Teal'c is right, he has been asking lots of questions about what we do and if there was something going on between Jack and Sam. I told him to ask Sam about that."
"I see, so nothing much ha been happening then, so no one knows about this mission except for us and Jack and Sam?"
"Yes, for the time being, but soon the whole base will be talking about it in about five minutes or less, especially about the kids. The grape vine will be working over time then."
"Well, would you like some juicy gossip for the time being?"
"Like what?"
"Well, why don't you go and let Sam know that I'm here, then I'll tell you when you get back," Jacob said with a smile on his face.
"Ok, it's about time they get up any way, we have a briefing in half an hour. Jack gets grumpy first thing in the morning if he hasn't had his morning coffee." Daniel said making Jacob laugh. Daniel stood up and left the room to go and let Sam know that her father was there.
"Jacob, do you just realise what you have done?" Hammond said.
"Yep, I know what I am doing George, trust me. Don't worry Teal'c, you will find out soon enough." Daniel walked down the corridors heading towards Sam's quarters, when he got there, he saw Siler.
"Morning Siler!"
"Morning, Dr. Jackson!"
Then Daniel knocked on Sam's door. There was no answer, so he tried again and called out her name. Same thing; no answer; so he opened the door. He was shocked with what he saw in front of him. Jack and Sam were sleeping together.
He blinked a few times, but saw the same thing, so he went back out to the corridor and he saw Siler again. He called him over and asked him to look in the room and to let him know what he saw. So he did that, then he was out of the room quickly and he turned to Daniel.
"Let me guess, you saw Jack and Sam sleeping together, right?"
"Yes, that is what I just witnessed, Dr. Jackson, sir."
"So this must have been the gossip that Jacob was talking about. Thank you, Siler, you can go now," Daniel said, with a smile.
"Yes sir, thank you, sir," Siler said with a smile, and then he left.
Daniel knew that the grapevine would be busy working this morning, so he went back into the room to wake them both up. When he did, he had a big grin on his face like the cat that ate the cream's smile.
When both Jack and Sam woke up together, they both tried to stretch, then realised that they couldn't. They both quickly opened their eyes, looking at each other, then everything came back to them both in a rush. They both closed their eyes and groaned at the same time, not knowing that Daniel was standing near the bed with a big grin on his face.
"Good morning, campers!" Daniel said. When they both heard his voice, they said
"Shut up Daniel," at the same time, and then Sam started giggling.
"Sam, please stop that giggling, will ya, and what the hell are you doing in my bed?"
"Actually Jack, you are in Sam's bed."
"Great, just great! Daniel, what the hell are you doing here?"
"Well, for one, we have a briefing in less than half an hour and two, to let Sam know that her dad is here."
Then Sam remembered when she woke up earlier seeing both her father and Hammond looking at both her and Jack in bed together.
"Oh crap!" Sam said as she put her head under the blankets.
"What's wrong Sam?" Jack asked.
"General Hammond and dad were in here, they must have seen us together like this." She said when she removed the blanket, so Jack could look at her.
"Oh that's just peachy, now we are in trouble!"
"Well, I better let you two get up. See you both at the briefing," Daniel said,
Before leaving the room with a grin on his face. As soon as he was gone, they both were still lying there in one another's arms.
"You know Sam, this feels good, lying here with you next to me in my arms, waking up like this."
"Yeah, I know what you mean Jack, this does feel good, it feels right, but we do need a bigger bed for one thing and another thing is we do have that briefing to attend to this morning, plus I need to go somewhere first."
Then she tried to get up, but Jack held her there. He gave her a morning kiss, then smiled at her. She smiled back and kissed him back also, then he let her go. When she got up, she held out her hand for him. He took her hand in his and she helped him out of bed. Once out, he quickly put his arms around her, then gave her another kiss on the lips.
"Jack, I would love to stay like this but I need to go to the bathroom and you need to go to your quarters."
"Yeah, true, if I don't see you before the briefing," he gave her another kiss when they broke apart.
"See ya later, sweetheart" Jack said with a grin on his face, making Sam smile right back.
"Ok, see you later, honey!"
"Sweet!"
Then he gave her a quick kiss before putting his boots on and grabbing his jacket. Then he left her room with a grin on his face. Then Sam put her boots on then went to the women's toilet, which was just across the corridor.
When she finished there, she went back to her room to make her bed. As she was about to put her pillow down on the bed, she put it up to her noise and inhaled the smell of Jack's colongne and sweat. She smiled when she could smell him, then she put the pillow on the bed. Once done there, she grabbed her jacket and then turned off the light before leaving the room.
Both Jack and Sam had a shower to freshen up before the briefing that morning. As soon as Sam was freshened up and in clean BDUs, she went to the control room to see if everything was ok before heading to the briefing room. When she got there, Jack was just behind her as she walked in. Daniel and Teal'c were already there in their chairs. Daniel had a big grin on his face.
"Morning, Teal'c," Sam said.
"Morning, Major Carter, O'Neill!"
"Morning, Teal'c! Carter would you like some coffee?" He asked as he was heading towards where the pot of hot coffee was.
"Yes, thank you, sir!" Sam said as she sat down in her normal spot.
Then he walked back over with a coffee cup in each hand. He passed one to her, then he put his on the table before sitting down, next to Sam. They both looked at each other with smiles on their faces. Then they looked away, Sam saw Daniel smiling at them both.
"Daniel, what are you smiling at?" Sam asked.
"I'm happy for you two, it was a shock when I saw you two together, but I'm happy about it."
"Ok, Danny boy, spill it! Who did you tell about what you saw this morning?" Jack said.
"No one Jack! I told no one and that is the truth!"
"Well, how come I saw Siler talking to a couple of airmen, they all looked very happy about something."
"Oh Siler, well, when I saw you two together, well, he was just walking by, so I asked him to look in the room and then tell me that I'm not seeing things. Well we both weren't seeing things, if you know what I mean?"
"Oh that's just great! You're telling me that everyone on this base knows that Sam and I slept in the same bed last night?"
"Yep, some of the airmen came and asked me about it just before. Don't worry Jack, I told them that the both of you were fully clothed."
"That's just great, now they are going to be smiling all day about the latest gossip."
Then one of the doors opened and Hammond and Jacob walked into the room together laughing about something. Then Jacob saw Jack and Sam, his smile widened. They both looked at the two generals.
"Dad," Sam said. She got up and walked around Jack to give her father a hug.
"Hi ya kiddo, how are you?" As they both pulled apart, she said
"I'm fine, thanks dad. Dad, were you and General Hammond in my room earlier this morning?" Jacob laughed.
"Yes we both were. We were shocked with what we saw. I was angry that we found you two together in bed like that, but when George here didn't yell at you two for sleeping together like that, I realised something must have happened and you both were just comforting one another." Then Jack got up.
"Hi Jacob, ah, about what you saw this morning." Jacob put his hand up to stop Jack from talking.
"It's ok son, George told me what has happened, and I just can't believe what Kinsey and his pals are up to."
Jack went behind Sam and put both of his hands on her shoulders. Jacob saw what Jack just did, but didn't say anything.
"Sir, did you tell Jacob what Sam was planning to do with Kinsey?"
"Sorry Jack, I forgot that part, do you want to tell him?"
"Sam, what do you want to do with Kinsey?"
"Slow torture, nice and slow. I haven't decided what to use first, but we have to catch him first!" Sam said with a smile. Jacob raised both eyebrows in shock.
"Sam, I'm shocked, I never thought you would do something like this!"
"Well, when you've been fighting the Goa'uld for seven years and you have parts of memories of a Tok'ra in you and you've been tortured several different ways, you learn a trick or two alone the way." Jacob just shook his head.
