From the Mouths of Babes
“Jack! You ready yet? We’re gonna be late!” Sam shouted from the living room.
“Yeah, yeah, I’m tryin’!” he muttered from the bedroom.
Sam looked over at Daniel apologetically. He was on the floor with Maddie, playing with some building blocks. “Daniel, would you keep an eye on her for a minute? I’ve got to go help Jack.”
Daniel smiled back at her with a reassuring nod. He reached for a yellow-colored block as Maddie grabbed a blue one. “I think I can handle it.”

Sam pulled open the bedroom door and leaned against the frame.
Jack was sitting on the edge of the bed, the pants he’d been trying to put on dangling off one foot. The plaster cast on his right leg went up to his thigh, and he couldn’t quite bend enough to get his pants on.
Trying hard not to laugh at her husband’s predicament, Sam went over to him. He’d somehow managed to get his shorts on, but the pants were a new challenge altogether.
Jack heaved a sigh as Sam took hold of his pants and got his left leg in. The right pant leg had been cut off and the fringed end rolled up slightly because of his cast. “Why do we have to go out to eat anyway?” he moaned.
Sam smiled patiently at him as she slid his right leg into the hole cut in his khakis. She then helped him stand and lean on his crutches while she pulled them up over his hips. “Because my brother’s in town for just a few days to see Dad while he’s actually on Earth, and we promised we’d have dinner with them all.”
Grunting, Jack sat back down while Sam went to grab his shirt, muttering about why they couldn‘t just eat at home.

When Teal’c came out of the kitchen with a plate of grilled cheese sandwiches and some drinks, Daniel got up from the floor. As he noticed Maddie climbing to her feet and tottering toward the steps, he called after her. “Maddie, where are you going?”
The two-year-old paused and turned to look at her uncle with doe-like brown eyes. “Tell mommy and daddy it time to eat.”
Teal’c handed Daniel a cup of coffee and sat down, setting the sandwiches on the coffee table.
Daniel tried to wave the little girl back over. “Your mommy and daddy are busy right now sweetheart. Why don’t you just come on over here and eat.”
“O’tay.” Maddie turned, her blonde curls bouncing as she pattered back over to Daniel and Teal’c.
Teal’c picked the little girl up and sat her on the couch between himself and Daniel. He started to cut her grilled cheese up into bite-sized pieces.
Maddie looked innocently over at Daniel, kicking her feet against the edge of the sofa. Her little brows were furrowed inquisitively, lower lip sticking out as it often did when she was thinking. “Is Mommy and Daddy pwaying gym-nak-sticks?”
Daniel coughed in mid-sip of his coffee, spraying it across the coffee table. “What?” he choked out.
The two-year-old continued kicking her feet against the sofa as she waited for her Uncle Teal’c to finish cutting up her food. “Daddy says when he and Mommy pway gym-nak-sticks I’m not a’posed to go in. It‘s only for big peoples.”
Grabbing for a napkin on the coffee table, Daniel cleaned himself off, holding in desperate bursts of laughter.
Teal’c rose an eyebrow and set the child‘s paper plate in her lap. “Madelyn O’Neill, I believe you are referring to-”
“Teal’c!” Daniel cut the Jaffa off, vehemently shaking his head. “No.”
Just then Sam and Jack came into the room. Sam was walking slowly alongside her husband as he hobbled in on his crutches.
“I look ridiculous,” Jack muttered, stopping at the top of the steps and staring at his plastered leg and cut-off pants.
Sam just smiled and tucked an errant lock of blonde hair behind her ear. “You look fine.”
Clearing his throat loudly, Daniel smiled cheekily at the pair and simply said, “Gymnastics?”
Sam’s face immediately flushed crimson while a lazy grin spread across Jack’s face and he shrugged.
