for Sam [TR]

[has_2ls]

Last weekend had been full of the kind of excitement Jack was just out of practice for. Sure, back when he'd been on SG-1 and especially when he'd been in special forces he was used to going days without sleep and being ready on a moment's notice but he just wasn't cut out for that anymore when he was used to lazing around on the island. Today wasn't an ITF day, thank God, and Jack took his time waking up, just enjoying being warm and cozy with Sam instead of jumping up to do whatever needed to be done.

...Sam never slept this late. Jack squinted and checked his watch. After eight. Sam never slept this late, even if he'd kept her up the night before.

"Sam? Getting lazy on me or something?"

"I'm sure Susan'll understand. She's pretty laid back," Jack said, rubbing the foot she'd placed in his lap. "It's all about you now."

"Mmm." Coffee finished, she closed her eyes and let herself enjoy Jack rubbing her foot. "Well, if you're going to get my cold or whatever it is, you don't want to pass it on to the little guy."

"Exactly. Need to make sure I'm not contagious," Jack murmured, running his hand up her calf to massage there. "Safety and all."

"Mmm." Jack's hand felt nice on her leg, and she was warm and comfortable and could actually breathe again. "I might not be great company though," she said, yawning. "Feel like a nap."

"So do I," Jack said, grinning at her. "You're just giving me opportunity."

Sam closed her eyes and let her mind drift off. Her feet were warm in the crazy socks, and Jack was doing lovely things to her leg, and that combined with the fact that she hadn't slept that well made her drowsy.

"If I knew sick days were this nice, would have taken one long time ago," she murmured, voice trailing off at the end of the sentence.

"This is a sick day with me. I think it'd probably be different if you were alone," Jack teased, resuming his foot massage. "Feeling a little better?"

[gate_expert]

"Mmhmm." Eyes still closed, she reached down for the blanket and pulled it up a little, snuggling more against Jack's shoulder. And then she dozed off, warm and comfortable.

She may or may not have snored a little.
