Chapter 24

"Thank you, all of you and I know the first thing we will be buying."

"What's that Sam?" Jack asked.

"A new barbecue before the 4th of July" she said smiling.

"Sweet." and every one chuckled.

"Now that you two have returned from your honeymoon; SG1, there will be a briefing at 1400 hours and Major, there are alien devices waiting in your lab to look at."

"Thank you sir."

"Every one dismissed. Teal'c, can you show the Colonel and Major their new quarters."

"I will General Hammond." Then they all went their separate ways.

Teal'c showed then their new base quarters and he left them alone while he went to get some breakfast, since it was just after 0700.

Jack and Sam walked into their new quarters and looked around. There was a queen size bed with a dark blue duvet, a table with four chairs and two chests of drawers. There were also two bedside tables, a three seater couch in navy blue and a small galley kitchen with one cupboard and a small fridge underneath and twin cupboards above. Two lamps and a telephone completed the room.

There was a built in closet and a corner bathroom with a hand basin with a mirrored medicine cabinet, a toilet and a walk in corner shower. They room was twice as big as the normal sized base quarters.

After they looked around their room for a few minutes before Jack pulled Sam in to his arms and they kissed. When they broke apart they were looking into one another's eyes.

"You know Jack; our quarters will need to be christened?"

"I like the way you think Sam but I need energy after this mornings work out. How about just before lunch."

"Sounds good to me."

They kissed one more time before they picked up their new key cards from the table and walked out of the room and turning the lights off. They walked down to the mess hall for some breakfast and joined SG1, Janet and Cassie at one of the big tables.

"Did you like your quarters?" Cassie asked.

"Yes we do thanks. How did the reception go after we left?"

"It was still going." Cassie said smiling.

"Every one was gone by five in the morning they were having such a good time." Janet said.

"I bet they were." Jack said.

"How was your honeymoon?" Daniel asked.

"We had a great time and thanks for the surprises."

"You're welcome Sam." Daniel said.

They talked for the next half-hour before Janet and Cassie left, since Cassie had to be at school in an hour. Everyone else went their own way not long after. Jack walked Sam down to her lab then gave her a kiss before he left to go and find out what had been going on while they were away. At lunchtime, Jack went into Sam's lab and he watched her working on one of the new devices.

"Hey stop, what are you doing? It's lunch time."

"Is it already? Wow."

"Yep, so come on. It will still be here when you return."

Sam sorted through a couple of things before she shut everything down before leaving. They went to their quarters for half an hour before going to the mess hall for some lunch, with big smiles. The next morning SG1 went out on an overnight mission. Sam gave Jack a kiss before he walked up the ramp and through the gate with his team.

That night Sam went home to continue the packing so they could start moving things into their new home. She had just finished packing the eighth box when there was a knock on the door and she went to answer it. She checked through the door peep hole, to see who it was.

"Great, that's all I need" and she opened the door.

"What do you want?"

One person pulled out a tranquilliser gun and Sam quickly closed the door which locked automatically and then she turned and ran to get her cell phone. She picked it up and pressed speed dial 741 just as they smashed the front door glass in.

"Hammond."

"Sir code red, NID."

Then one of the men fired a dart at Sam but a glowing white came out of the ceiling and stopped the dart and turned it around and fired it at the shooter. Sam dropped her phone as she ran to her bag and got her gun out. The man collapsed on the ground after the dart went into his shoulder and the others pulled out their guns and pointed them at Sam.

"I wouldn't do that if I were you; I'm protected."

One of them fired at Sam and the same glowing white light appeared and stopped the bullet in it tracks and it dropped to the ground. Then more glowing white balls appeared around the room.

"As you can see, you and your bosses can't touch me. These are here to protect me and my family. If anyone tries to take me you will have to go through these and thousands more first to get to me."

"What are they?" then the glowing lights turned into human form.

"They are the Ancients." Sam said.

Two of them picked up the one who had been hit by the dart and went to turn around only to be stopped by more Ancients. They turned back to Sam,

"Who is your boss?" they didn't answer.

"Either tell me or them, who is your boss?" they still didn't answer.

"Well then, I'm going to stand back and let these people deal with you." Sam took one step back and the Ancients took a step forward.

"We are not telling you."

Then they took another step forward until the NID men were surrounded. They looked at the Ancients and tried to push one of them out of the way but he didn't budge. They just looked at them in the eyes, waiting for one of them to break. They were like that for about fifteen minutes until their heard trucks pulling up and voices.

"Major Carter?" one of the men called out.

"In here guys" she yelled out and then they heard the door open and foot steps. By that time, the Ancients had returned to glowing.

"Thanks guys" Sam said to them.

Five SG teams burst into her house and stopped in their tracks when they saw the glowing forms disappearing into the ceiling.

"Major Carter, are you alright?" Colonel Dixon asked.

"Yes, this man needs to be checked out. He ended up being tranquillised by a dart that was supposed to be for me."

"Ok, were they…?" he pointed to the ceiling.

"Yes, my body guards."

"Ok; are you sure you're alright?" Sam smiled.

"Yes; perhaps you guys can find out who their bosses are."

"Sure, if not we will let Teal'c deal with them." And they both smiled.

"Yeah"

"Excuse me, Major Carter?" Sam turned around and one of the Captains passed Sam her own open cell phone.

"Shit, I forgot about General Hammond."

"He's still on line" and he passed it so Sam.

"Sir."

"Major, are you ok?"

"Yes sir, I'm fine. The NID men that broke into my house have just left here with a couple of teams and are heading back to base."

"Ok. Was there much damage done?"

"Just a smashed window. I'll have to call twenty four hour glass repair man."

"Ok and let me know how much the cost of the damage is."

"Yes sir."

"Ok, will you be alright tonight?" Sam smiled.

"Yes sir, I'll be fine."

"Ok, but keep SG5 there with you until your window is fix."

"Ok, I'll let them know sir"

"Ok, good night major"

"Night sir" then she hung up.

"General Hammond wants SG5 to remain behind until the glass is fixed and the rest can return to base."

The two teams left and headed back to base while Sam made a couple of phone calls. When she hung up, she walked over to the fridge.

"You guys want anything to drink?"

"What have you got?" Dixon asked.

"Beer, diet coke, orange juice, tea, coffee and water."

"Coffee thanks."

"Ok, what about you guys?" they all wanted coffee. She made them coffee and passed it to them and then she went back to her packing.

"When is the big move?"

"Jack and I are slowly moving in to our new house."

"Need any help?"

"We are fine, thanks."

"Ok but if you need any help, just ask."

"Thanks" then the glowing forms appeared again and turned into human form.

"Samantha Carter, there is a van just two homes down from here and they are watching this house. They have sent eight men, with tranquillizer guns this way."

"The same men as before?"

"Yes."

"Ok; shall we give them a surprise welcoming party?"

"How so?" the Ancient asked.

"Do what you did before with the dart. Colonel, you better give Hammond a call and let him know what is happening and call SG3 and 11 back."

"Good idea."

Dixon took his phone out and called leader of SG11 and then he called Hammond.

"Thanks for the warning." Sam said to the Ancient.

"Your welcome" then he went glowy and disappeared.

"Shall we guys?"

They all got into different positions, with zats in hand, and waited for them to come. When they did, through both back and front doors, they ran in and started firing their guns at Sam and SG5 only to have the glowing balls appear and turn the darts around, ending up in the agents themselves and then they collapsed. Sam and SG5 stood up from their hiding places and walked over to the eight men.
