“Dad, Martin, why are you two here?” Jack asked, with a grin on his face.
Then he gave Jacob a hug and shook Martin’s hand.
“Hi Jack, Sam.”
Then he stopped when he saw her face and he looked at Jack. Jack could see that Jacob was starting to get angry and so was Sam, who was standing in front of Jacob.
“Dad, calm down, Pete did this to me, not Jack.”
“What, Shanahan hit you?”
“No, he slapped me and I slugged him.”
“Oh, was it a good punch?”
“Almost broke his nose.” Jacob started laughing.
“That’s my girl” and they hugged. He was smiling by then.
“So, what brings you two here, millions of miles away from home?”
“We brought the recorded interview for you four to look at” Martin said.
“Shall we” and they headed to the love shack tent. Jacob and Sam had their arms around each other.
“So, how is the honeymoon, Sam?”
“It was going great until Pete showed up.”
“Ok. You know, you look different Sam.”
“Younger Jacob, both Jack and Sam look younger” Daniel said.
“But how?”
“It’s the water here. There is something in the water that makes the people here younger.”
“Ok, do you know where the water is?”
“No, it is either the swimming hole or the Hot Springs. I haven’t had a chance to finish checking out the rest of the wall today.”
“Ok, how is your face Sam, that must have hurt?”
“It did Dad and so did my hand but I’m fine now. Jack chased Pete when he found out about what he did to me. I was in my tent at the time and I heard what was happening. Daniel came and got me while Teal’c ran after Jack who was chasing Pete.”
“Really; so I gather you got him Jack?”
“Yes, and I was just about to punch his lights out until Daniel yelled out and I turned to see Sam there with the mark on her face. So I let go of him and I got up. So did Shanahan and then he started smart mouthing me. I took a step forward, he stepped back and this continued until he got to the edge of the swimming hole. Then Teal’c took my place while I walked over to Sam. I told her that someone needed cooling off and I turned around so Sam and I could see Teal’c pushing Shanahan into the swimming hole” Jacob laughed.
“That would have been good to see.”
“You can watch it Jacob, I taped the whole thing.”
“Great, I can’t hardly wait” A few minutes later they arrived at the site.
“Well, here it is” Jack said.
Then Martin and Jacob got it all set up, using a telly ball so that the picture could be bigger. Then they sat down and watched the interview. Jack was leaning against the log with Sam between his legs and Jacob noticed that she was massaging his knees. Daniel was on one side and Teal’c on the other. When it finished, the ball shut done.
“Well, what do you think?”
“That was great Martin. You and your group have done a great job.” Jack said
“Really? Thanks; afterwards I overheard that the ratings went up during the interview, which I’m pleased about.”
“That’s great, thanks for saving our asses.”
“No problem. You helped me by taking me to my old home planet and you and your team talked the President into letting me stay here on Earth.”
“Let’s show you guys around.”
“Ok, but first the tape Daniel.”
“Ok, yeah, here it is”
Daniel passed the chip over to Jacob who went over to the computer and got it all set up and then he pressed play. The ball came to life once again. They all watched what had happened and afterwards. Then it stopped and the ball shut down.
“Well, I don’t think he would want to go near you again, Jack.”
“Yeah, I was so angry with what he did that I would have hit him if it wasn’t for these guys. One look at Sam made me realize he just wasn’t worth it.”
“Well, at least you can make Sam happy Jack. You guys want to show us around now?”
“Sure, why not.”
