Set immediately after the end of 'Tangent'.
'Daniel, get the thermal blankets, Teal'c I know you're in a better state, but just stay down please.' Sam moved to guide the rather punch drunk man onto the floor as he giggled madly. A loud call of cheering caused all four to pause as Jacob mouthed "SGC" at them. She kneeled down, smiling slightly and started as the Colonel dropped into her side.
'They like MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!'They all looked down as he sang out in a high pitched voice before nuzzling into her chest. She gave Daniel a wide eyed look, who coped it and mock casually blocked her Dad's direct line of view. Sam felt her eyebrow twitch, Daniel had been able to run interference and her Dad hadn't even caught it.
'The hypoxia really makes him giddy.' He noted, watching as she struggled to detach the clingy man from her midriff before her Dad tried to kill him.
'How're they doing?' The man in question called from the flight deck and Sam turned to see Teal'c assisting her in getting the Colonel to let go.
'Teal'c's fine, Jack's well a little bit more Jack.' Daniel smirked and she shot him an irritated look as she and Teal'c moved the now limp man to a make shift bed and she laid a blanket over him.
'Teal'c, you rest, Daniel could you please, am, change the Colonel's clothes? Don't think he'd appreciate if it was me.' She smirked as Daniel blanched, she made Teal'c lie down on the second makeshift bed and left the room to join her Dad.
'They doing okay?' Her Dad asked as she sat down in the other seat resting her legs up on the dash, leaning back. She rubbed the heels of her palms into her eyes and sighed deeply.
'They're back. The Colonel is a tad more erratic than usual, but it's to be expected I suppose. Why didn't you bring the healing device?'
'You did rush me kiddo, and I really wish I had. Jack wouldn't have been cuddling into your chest otherwise. Daniel's gotten better, but not that much better.' Father and daughter exchanged looks, his slightly more stern yet amused and hers as though someone had smacked her upside of the head with a wet fish. She winced before staring out at the stars, trying to think of something to say.
'It's not his fault he's hypoxic and giddy... due to the hypoxia.' Jacob shot her his very best "no, really?" look at her and Sam simply shrugged. They both turned and saw Daniel standing in the doorway, looking shell shocked.
'I am never ever doing that again.' He glared at Sam, who simply arched an eyebrow, wiggling into the seat to get more comfortable as Jacob just raised his eyebrows shaking his head.
'We've done that for you enough times. You will be doing it again. Act grateful, we could've made a lot of money out of the past couple of times. Especially if we'd recorded the dance.' Sam turned back to the screen, debating for a moment and getting up and heading back into the cargo room. Daniel stood looking bemused as she passed him, clearly trying to remember his dance routine. Or even when it happened.
Sam stepped into the cargo hold and leaned up against the wall for a moment watching as Teal'c quietly placed warming blankets on the Colonel. He turned and stared at her for a moment, nodding in what could almost be a slightly shamefaced manner before sitting back own on his own bed. She shook her head good-naturedly, picking up another thermal blanket and wrapped it around him, patting him lightly on the shoulder. She paused for a moment, watching him, making sure that he started to Kel'no'reem.
'There are three of use to check up on you both, you may be slightly better off, but you still need to recuperate. Rest.' Teal'c nodded slowly, pulling his legs up into position and closing his eyes. Sam watched him for a couple of minutes, just to check that Teal'c was in fact resting. As straight arrowed as he normally was, he had his moments of being extraordinarily sneaky. As she considered it, given his previous successes with being sneaky, he most likely was astonishingly sly nearly all of the time.
She smiled to herself, pleased that he had complied with her request and she walked over to the Colonel, who appeared to be dozing lightly.
'Sam!' He greeted her cheerfully, though he was slurring slightly and kept slipping as he tried to prop himself up.
'Hey Sir. Feeling better I see.' She smiled lightly and tried to encourage him to lie back down, but once again he had other ideas. His arms clamped around her middle, his face burrowed into her stomach and humming happily. She rolled her eyes, but couldn't stop the pleased smiled from blossoming on her face. Besides no one would have been able to see the smile anyway.
'Better now you're here. Nice that you're here, you're usually away now.' Luckily he wasn't looking at her face as his arms squeezed her tighter and she had to bite back a shudder. It was hard enough knowing that things couldn't be as they once were between them, but having it said out loud was almost too much.
The slight pressure around her waist lessened, and Sam felt him start to snore lightly. She reached round and pulled his arms away, easing him back down and wrapping the thermal blankets around him once more. Her Dad and Daniel were deep in discussion at the stick, so she didn't feel too bad around grabbing his hand and rubbing the back of his hand with her thumb.
Turns out he wasn't as asleep as she had first thought as he starting mumbling and twitching. Sam did her best to ignore it, wouldn't be fair to learn all of the man's secrets simply due the hypoxia induced euphoria. She simply continued to hold his hand and hum lightly in her head.
As a result of this self distraction, she didn't notice as the Colonel stirred and rise up, before planting a rather sloppy kiss on her. Sam didn't know what to do, she couldn't move as the Colonel was now gripping her other hand quite tightly. She simply sat there, ramrod straight, eyes wide open and completely baffled as to what to do,
'Ahem' Suddenly the Colonel keeled over, snoring as a level that Daniel could be envious of and she turned to see Jacob standing looking, well she couldn't quite figure out what emotions he was expressing. Sam tucked him back in, trying to hide her blushing cheeks and to figure out what to say to her Dad.
'Does that happen often?' He asked in a tone that could only be described as waspish and she just rolled her eyes.
'Oh yeah, all the time. Because neither of us like our jobs, or ranks and totally want to get thrown into jail. We are just that careless and selfish.' She hissed at him as she grabbed his arm and steered him back into the flight deck, dragging him to a corner to where Daniel was less likely to over hear anything. As he opened his mouth to retort, she cut him off with a swift shush. Daniel turned from the stick, looking curious, but she simply shot him her very best death glare before focusing back on her father.
'He's hy-pox-ic! His brain's not really at 100% right now. He won't even remember what happened, and no one is going to tell him. Otherwise the varying stories and pictures that someone doesn't want to become general knowledge will be unleashed upon the SGC.' Sam poked him repeatedly in the chest, continuing to glare at him. He narrowed his eyes, studying her for a moment before he was having an internal argument. As his face became more and more irritated with a dash of regret, she began to grin.
'Does Selmak have an opinion she'd like to share?' She asked smugly, knowing that the Tok'ra was on her side of the quarrel. Her father's face and a petulant look flitter across his face.
'Nothing important.' He crossed his arms across his chest and just about pouted at her. Sam shook her finger at him before heading over to Daniel, watching him attempt to man the ship. Suddenly a shout came from the cargo hold and both of them turned. Sam sighed, rolling her eyes and patting him on the shoulder, telling him to stay.
The Colonel had woken up once more and was staring at Jacob with the bleariest eyes she had ever seen.
'I prefer Carter-Carter, nicer, smarter and prettier. Less glarey too.' He nodded slowly as though it was a great intellectual point, before he passed out again. Sam had to bite down on a little smile, but was worrying over what her father was going to do. She glanced over to see his shoulders shaking and she leaned forward, trying to peer at his face. Much to her surprise within a couple of seconds was laughing hysterically. Sam looked round to see Daniel attempting to look back and steer at the same time, and she just shrugged, shaking her head in confusion.
