Early Mornings

Sam had to go into the SGC early, 0600 early. That meant she needed to be out the door by 0515. That meant she had to have Jack and Daniel out of bed at least half an hour before that. You can see were we're going with this I can imagine.

0414

"JAAAACK, DAAANIEL! GET OUT OF BED NOW PLEASE." Sam stood at their door and bellowed for effect. It was dark outside. There was a disgruntled grumble from each bed. "Okay, boys." Sam wandered over and shook each t-shirt clad shoulder that now revealed themselves as both bodies rolled away from her towards the wall. "You have to get up now and get ready."

"Go 'way." The two grumbled more or less in union.

"I'll give you fifteen minutes and then I'm dragging you out, and that's a promise!"

Sam turned to leave the room, as she got to the door, Jack rolled over and croaked, "For cryin' out loud, Carter ca—" She quickly turned back and flicked the light switch on as she did so. This only served to cause more groaning. "Jack! I won't tell you again, get up now! No arguments!" With that she left to get coffee and wait for her charges to get a move on.

"Well, that went well," Jack muttered as he retreated further under the covers.

Daniel hadn't moved, except to pull a pillow over his head. "Jack? Why do you do that to Sam?" he enquired sleepily. "You only wind her up, now she'll be real grouchy before we even get started!"

"Ya think!" Jack retorted from beneath the covers as he closed his eyes.

A minute later all that could be heard was muffled snores.

0425

"Teal'c, hi, thanks for doing this, come in. Do you want a coffee?" Sam, having had some very difficult mornings with her boys, had decided to take her own advice and recruit the assistance of the 'family Jaffa'. Teal'c had been briefed on the mission and would be watching them when they got to the SGC so that there would be no problems for today at least.

The background for the current situation was as follows. They seemed to have started with a routine on most mornings, early or not. Sam would go in and call them, they didn't get up… they didn't get up… etc… etc, and so it went on. She was usually reduced to empty threats about getting the General in to get them up, or Teal'c and finally she'd pull the quilts off them(closing her eyes of course) and put them in the next room, so they had to get up. This usually caused arguments, shouting, and then long silences in the car to the SGC. 'Not a good start to the day' Sam had deduced on many an occasion.

Once they had arrived after one of these episodes, everyone would be treated to Jack's back chat and Daniel's surliness or tantrums for the rest of the morning. The general was starting to lose the will to live. His exact words had been, "If they can't be kept in line, I'll take things into my own hands." Sam thought the General had his own idea of 'keeping them in line'. He'd already had Jack or Daniel brought to him by various disgruntled SGC personnel. Usually a bit of 'stern talking to' and 'or being given timeout in a boringly, empty storage room when things got desperate seemed to do the trick, but the General was steadily losing patience.

So, here was Teal'c on a mission to prevent one of these episodes, on this occasion, at least. "I will not take any refreshment, MajorCarter. I will go and recover O'Neill and DanielJackson from their sleeping quarters; we will then leave and have morning refreshments at the SGC. Where is their room located?" Teal'c stood just inside the hallway with a very small smile touching his lips.

Sam actually considered the fact that the Jaffa was going to enjoy this. "Um, well, Teal'c, just give me a minute to collect my things and get the boys clean clothes from the laundry so that they can change when we get there. You can go and get them, is that okay?"

"Agreed, MajorCarter, I will await your return." The Jaffa stood with his arms behind his back and gave Sam the familiar nod. Sam rushed away, slightly taken aback but pleased that she would get to work early for once.

0445

On her return, the Jaffa went into battle. Sam decided that it would be prudent to stay out of the way. From the sounds of the shouting coming from the room, Teal'c had literally manhandled the two desperados from their beds.

"Teal'c? Teal'c! Put me down, what do you think you're doing; I'll never forgive you for this! Let me at least get my Ipod!"

"What the hell do you think you're doing 'T'. Teal'c! For crying out loud! Will you cut it out!"

"I believe that MajorCarter has requested that you get up ad as you have not carried out her wishes I have volunteered to remove you from this room and put you in the motor vehicle so that she can transport you to Cheyenne Mountain on time. If I hear any more complaints, I will ensure that you are taken directly to General Hammond on your arrival, for punishment."

Sam noted that after Teal'c's speech, there was no further shouting. Well, actually, no further noise. Then they emerged, one teenager tucked under each arm of the large Jaffa, firmly grasped around their waist. As Teal'c walked by, and Sam grabbed the keys to lock the door, both Daniel and Jack scowled at her.

Jack uttered one further disgruntled statement "Oh pu-leeze!"

Sam saw Teal'c raise an eyebrow and tighten his hold. "Okay, okay," Jack huffed. "I'll be quiet."

Sam noted at least they both had sweat pants and t-shirts on; the mornings were very chilly at this time of year!

As Sam grabbed their boots, and the bag with their clothes in it, she smiled with satisfaction that maybe her threats wouldn't be seen as empty anymore!
