Gently knocking on the door to the office, Jack pushed it open very slightly and smiled at Sam. She smiled back at him and stood up from behind the desk. Shuffling some papers and putting them into a lockable drawer, Sam then locked it before walking over to Jack.
"See, I was coming."
"Yeah, you said you had 'a bit' of paperwork to do."
"I did."
"You said you'd be half an hour."
"I did?"
"I gave you forty-five, but I need some attention." He grinned at her as she stopped right in front of him and shook her head at him.
"Who's worse here? You, or the eighteen month old?"
Wrapping his arms around her, Jack shrugged nonchalantly. He knew that she would be like this, that taking on the command role of SG-1 would cause her to bring work home, but they had quickly set some ground rules. The first was that the office was always kept locked, unless she was in there. It was the same rule as when the office had been shared more between them; Jack had relinquished the office under the pretence that he was never bringing work home ever again. They both knew that the safe with two zats in was locked anyway, but neither of them could risk the information kept within the room, hence the lockable drawers and filing cabinets. "Is it so bad that I want to snuggle up on the sofa with my woman?"
She playfully swatted at his arm, moving so she could look him in the face. "I am not your *woman*, Jack O'Neill. I think you'll find you're my man."
"Nah, I never agreed to that." He kissed her forehead and then swung her slightly so his right arm was slung over her shoulders and they walked out of the room together, Sam making sure that the door was closed and secure. "I believe, I agreed, to you not working until Daniella was in bed."
"She is."
"But she has trouble settling and keeps crying." He knew that it was because of the changes in routine she had been subjected to over the past few months and that there was no way that he could help her except to be patient.
"And I know that you can handle it." That really was not his point, but Jack did not want to push her. Reasoning that all Sam had missed were a few tears and screams, as long as there was still time for quality time for just the two of them, Jack decided to let it go. Due to her recent missions to P2A-347 and trying to help Daniel, Sam had been absent for a few too many days and Jack was not prepared to have her work all evening. "You just want me all to yourself, don't you?"
"Moi? Never!"
