In a room filled with only artificial light, Samatha Carter was leaning up against her work station not even pretending to work. She had one arm laying on the counter and her head resting lazily in the other. She didn’t even notice someone enter in behind her. “Major Carter, what is the matter?” “Oh, Teal’c, you scared me.” “Daydreaming?” “Sort of. I just can’t believe he’s actually going through with it this time.” “Although surely Colonel O’Neil will be missed, there is no shame in such an honorable warrier to as you say ‘retire’. Now, if you don’t mind, I am going to go bid Colonel O’Neil my personal farewell.” “Thanks, Teal’c. I’ll see you later.” “Are you coming with?” “Not right now.” She lets out a sigh and goes back to doing what she had been doing before being interrupted…absolutely nothing. “Carter!” She jumped three feet in the air before feeling a familiar hand on her back. A shiver secretly ran down her spine. “Come on, Carter, you owe me a farewell lunch.” “Colonel O’Neil, I didn’t see you coming. Did Teal’c find you? Did you finish cleaning out your office?” “No and no. That can wait. Come on. You wouldn’t let me starve, would you?” “No offense, sir, but I highly doubt you are going to starve any time, soon.” “And why so formal? Come on. I’m retiring. I am no longer going to be your superior officer. It’s Jack to you. Now come on, I insist. To the cafeteria with you.” He put his arm around her shoulders and pulled her out of the room and down the hall. As much as it may have appeared so, she wasn’t really fighting it. “So, do you want to know what my favorite moment was working with you?” “What was that, sir?” “Uh, uh, uh.” ‘What was that, Jack?” He leans in closer so that he is whispering in her ear as he continues to lead her down the hall. “Oh, I remember it clearly. You were in the locker room, wearing this cute little black tank top, and you attacked me…something about me being considered the dominant male or something.” She almost laughs before remembering the inappropriateness of that situation. Instead, she slaps him in the arm before turning a lovely shade of pink. “Hey, you can’t blame a man for liking that.” That made her turn an even lovelier shade of pink. “Oh, and I have a slight confession to make.” “You do?” He turns to her with an evil grin and starts to laugh. “Yeah, I must say, I wouldn’t feel right about leaving with at least coming honest about this one little thing.” “And what would that be, sir?” “Well, I don’t think you are going to like it very much.” “Spit it out.” “Uh, well, you know that time we were under the influence of the machine that through us into a continuous time relapse?” “Yeah. What about it?” “Well, you see, after the first couple times, Teal’c and I, well, we kind of devised a way to quickly remember the situation we were in. This kind of freed up some time to do some things we couldn’t normally do because we would get in trouble, you see, because time would start back over and erase everything we had done…” “And?” “Well, while you and the rest of the crew were actively looking for a way to get us out of our time loop on like the um-teenth time around, I so-called quit my job and attacked you back. And you know what, Carter?” She couldn’t say anything. That comment left her utterly speechless. She just looked back at him and raised an eyebrow. “I liked that, too.” “Sir, how can you even remember that? Every time that the time loop restarted, our memories got erased to what had happened.” “Well, Carter, I guess some things are worth remembering.” She didn’t offer a reply. They walked in silence the last couple of feet to the cafeteria. She looked behind her and all around, and when she found that they were alone for the moment, she smiled back. ---------------------------------- Lunch was over way too fast, even with the intentional lingering, and Jack left to go work on finishing cleaning his office. He sighed as she walked away in the other direction. He couldn’t find the words to tell her how he really felt. Their job had forbidden any exploration of any feelings they might have had for one another, so he had no idea if she felt the same way. He couldn’t stay in the office. Aimlessly, he started to wander until he found himself in the conference room overlooking the stargate. He took a seat in one of the leather chairs for what might very well be the last time and looked out the big window at what used to be his job. He leaned back in the chair, with his arms behind his head, and started to drift off into a dream. …They were in a tent of some sort on some distant planet. Daniel and Teal’c were there, but they seemed to fade into the background along with everything else. All he could see was a lovely figure of beauty standing there in a marvelous light blue dress. So unlike the military uniform she usually wears, there was nothing masculine about the dress. It was purely feminine, showing off every curve perfectly. It took his breathe away… “Actively cleaning out our office, are we?” He starts to speak as he starts to open his eyes, reluctant to let go of his dream. “Daniel, what can I do for you?” “I had been looking for you to, you know, give you my best wishes. When I found your office empty, I figured I might find you here. She’s a beauty isn’t she?” “Huh? How did you…” “How did I what? I meant the gate. What were you talking about?” Before Jack could even formulate an answer, the answer had already come to Daniel. He just winks at Jack. “Oh, never mind, I know.” “Know what exactly?” “Oh, come on, you know. It doesn’t take a genius to figure out who you are talking about…after working on all those missions with you two…” “Should I tell her?” “Well, that depends. Do you really want her to know?” He stares in silence for a moment before shrugging his shoulders. “I don’t know. I’m not sure how she would react to that.” “Well, as to that, I’m not really sure. However, being the outsider looking in, I don’t think she would be as shocked as you would think.” Daniel pats Jack on the back before leaving him alone to think. In two rooms, at two separate ends of the facility, sat two people completely lost in thought. ------------------------------ The rest of the day came and went. There was an honorable ceremony at the end of the day to celebrate the retirement of one of the crew’s finest members. All of Jack’s friends and co-workers showed up to bid farewell. All except one. He walked up briskly to her doorstep. Cold air was flowing down from the top of the mountain, and a chill covered the area. After a brief hesitation, he knocked on her door. She heard the knock and approached the door cautiously. She wasn’t very surprised to see him standing at the door. “You didn’t attend my party.” “I, uh, had things to do at home.” He peeked in to see the television paused and a bottle of beer opened on the coffee table. She sheepishly shrugged. Without even thinking, he pulls her close and does something he had longed to do for a very long time. As his lips touch hers, he lets out a sigh of relief. “Now, I have to say, it was nice to finally be able to do that without knowing your memory would be erased in two seconds.” Again, the lovely shade of pink as she extends her arm to invite him in. “I must say, I’m glad to not have been slapped. Thank you for that.” “Well, Jack, I only slap people when it’s unwelcome.” This time he was speechless, and it’s him that raises an eyebrow. “Oh really?” She walks into the kitchen and returns with a second, unopened beer. She sits down on the couch, halfway expecting him to sit beside her. Instead, he takes the beer and sits in an adjoining armchair. “To begin, you must excuse me for my lack of smoothness, shall we say. As you well know, I do not frequently share my feelings with others, but this was worth the trouble.” She nods for him to continue. “I’m sorry for showing up here unannounced, but there’s something I really had to say. When you didn’t show up at my party, I know I had to come here to tell you. Sam, it almost killed me to think that I might not see you again.” She was amazed. Never before had Jack shows this much emotion towards her. He almost appeared to choke up a little. “I had a dream last night, Sam. You, Teal’c, and Daniel were all out on a mission of some sort to some strange planet. It was dark, but you seemed to be illuminated by a mysterious light. Some unknown enemy appears, shoots you with some kind of ray gun, and you evaporate into thin air. Because I wasn’t there to protect you, you evaporated into thin air.” He took a moment to try to read the expression on her face, but she appeared speechless. “At first I thought it meant that if I retired, bad things would happen to you three, but then it hit me…it wasn’t the job I was afraid of losing. It was you. I was afraid of not being with you, protecting you.” He could see the sparkle of light in her eyes, and he knew he must continue. “Sam, I know our job has kept us from showing any time of feelings with each other besides feelings of friendship and respect. I know you might not feel the same way that I do. I know we have never had the opportunity to go on a “date”, but over the span of time that I’ve worked with you, since the first day I laid eyes on you…which I admit, was not friendly at first…I have gotten to know you better than any woman I had ever dated in the past. I know I don’t always show interest in your work. I openly admit my lack of interest in the science of it all, but I have always, and I mean always, respected what you do and who you are. You are one of the most talented, amazing people I have ever met. Although I know you are fully capable of defending yourself, I die a little bit inside every time I think about not being there to protect you when you need protecting.” A tear started to flow down the side of her cheek. He leaned forward, took the edge of his thumb, and wiped the tear away…lingering for just a moment before leaning back. “What I’m trying to say, very poorly probably, is that you are more than just a friend to me. Way more. Sam, I love you. I love you more than you could probably imagine, and I can’t imagine spending a single day without looking, at least once, at your beautiful face. I know that I’m probably crazy, that I’m probably crossing some sort of etiquette line, but I’m not as young as I used to be. I’ve been through these dangerous missions. I’ve come very close to death countless times, and I know that you never know what lies around the next corner. You literally have to take life by the horns and never take one moment for granted. So, call me crazy, but I just had to be honest. Sam, what I’m very poorly trying to say is…well…marry me.” The tears could no longer be held back from Samantha’s eyes. He couldn’t tell if they were tears of joy or tears of sadness. The fact that there was no reply put millions of butterflies in his stomach. “Come on, Sam, marry me. Continue living your life with me. For once, be as crazy as me…” Sam was able to finally mutter something. In fact, she almost chuckled. “You know that they will want to put us in the insane asylum for this, right?” “So?” “So, of course, Jack. I’ve loved you since the first day I ever met you. I mean, come on, When inhibitions were taken away, and I was left with only primal instincts, you were the one I went after…only you.” His heart leapt with joy. He had never been happier. Tough Jack went out the window. “I have to call Daniel. He will be so surprised. You know, he and I talked this afternoon. He’s the one who gave me the courage to even come over here. Oh, and Teal’c…” “Not quite yet. Why rush? There’s something I’ve been wanting to do for a very long time…” She pulled him onto the couch. Without restraint, she pressed her lips to his and ran her fingers against his chest.” “Oh, going all primal on me again. Now see, this is what I like.” “Ah, except for this time, I won’t get in trouble for what I’m about to do…” -------------------------------- Samantha came down the steps of her place to find Jack in the kitchen opening another beer. “So…” “So?” “So, Carter, what would you like to do now?” “Maybe we should call Daniel and Teal’c.” “Hmmm…probably…seeing as how I had told them what I was planning on doing before I left them at the party. I left my own party, by the way, to hunt you down, but I do have to say, this was much more fun.” “Oh, I’m sure it was.” “Oh, definitely.” “I just can’t believe this is actually happening. I keep getting this feeling like I’m going to wake up and we’ve just been apart of some alternate reality or something.” “Well, as much as that has happened to us before, this is real. Me and you, kiddo, is real, and that, I really like.” “So, Jack, did you really kiss me while we were stuck in the time loop?” “Oh, definitely. I couldn’t resist. I mean, any other time I would have done that, we would have been court marshaled. How could I resist?” “Do you want to know one of my fondest moments working with you?” “Sure. Why not.” “My favorite moment with you was when we got transported to Antarctica by mistake. Of course, at the time, we didn’t know we were on Earth. Yes, I was scared. Yes, we were close to death, but we had to huddle together for body warmth, and just that nearness to you, I felt so safe.” “That was a good one. You saved me that day, you know. I was injured, and you did what you could to save me.” He wraps his arms around her, lifts her chin, and gently kisses her lips…too bad that they were interrupted by a knock on the door. “I wonder who that could be. I already got quite the visitor here, today.” She opens the door to find two curious faces on the stoop. Daniel is the first to speak. “Uh, hey, Sam. We were just, you know, wondering if Jack had made his way over here.” At that moment Jack appears behind her in the doorway and wraps his arm around her shoulders. “You had better believe it.” Samantha could hardly hold in her excitement. She tried so hard to keep it a secret a little while longer, but it came bursting out of her. “We’re getting married!” She wraps Daniel in a hug of excitement. “That’s great, Sam. Married. Wow. I mean, it was blatantly obvious that you two were meant to be together, but married….that’s wonderful.” “Congratulations, Major Carter. There is nothing more sacred then the bond between a man and his wife.” “Thanks, Teal’c.” Daniel could honestly say he was never happier for two of his best friends. “So, when’s the big day?” Without even thinking, in unison, they answered. “As soon as possible.” And that caused them both to burst out laughing. “Come on in, you guys. Moments like these call for a celebration with friends.” ------------------------------ “I can’t believe Sam agreed to this.” “Oh, I don’t know, Daniel, I can be pretty persuasive. Plus, the Shavadai owed her a favor…agreed to let us gather here on Simarka.” “Oh, I know. They are eternally grateful to Sam, but I still can’t believe you got her to wear that dress.” “Oh, I like that dress. As much as I had respected and cared for her before that mission, when I first saw her in that dress, standing there looking so gosh darn cute, that’s when I really started to notice her.” Jack gives Daniel a little slap on the back and gives a smile and nod to Teal’c…Jack in military dress blues, Daniel in a tan dress suit, and Teal’c, well, he insisted on matching Daniel since he has nothing to wear for an “earthly” wedding. Actually, Teal’c insisted that Daniel help him pick out appropriate dress, and Daniel chose the matching suits. They were standing there joking around and didn’t notice the stranger approaching and grabbing Jack from behind. “Colonel O’Neil, had you been more traditional and asked for my blessing, I would have told you that I could not have imagined a more honorable man marrying my daughter. Although I don’t have to give you my blessing because you didn’t ask, my blessing I extend to you.” A friendly handshake offered, but Jack wrapped his guest in a hug. “Jacob! Sam is going to be so thrilled that you could make it. We had thought the Tok’ra were planning some elaborate mission that you were required to be involved in.” “Ah, yes, well, even the Tok’ra have hearts, Colonel O’Neil, and I just so happened to let me for go this mission to see my only daughter be married. Plus, it’s not every day I get to see Sam in a dress.” “Well, that’s true. We are thrilled you could make it, and I know Sam especially. You should go try to find her. She’s off in some tent somewhere.” “So, I have to ask before I go, though, how are you getting this wedding to be legal on Earth.” “Well, you see know, that’s interesting. We persuaded Hammond to become licensed to wed us, and well, he’s just going to say the wedding took place at SG headquarters. Technically, I suppose, that’s not lying. I mean, the stargate is located at SG headquarters, and we did come here by entering through the stargate.” Jacob lets out a laugh. “Good work. Now…to find my daughter.” Jacob disappears into the small crowd of people that had gathered, and it didn’t take too much longer for the ceremony to begin. Shavadi women start to gather to play the most perfect harp music. Dr. Frasier appears first followed by Cassandra, both wearing traditional Shavadi dresses. Then, the crowd parted to reveal Samantha is the same blue dress she had worn on that first mission to Simarka, hand and hand with Jacob. Jack’s breathe was again taken away. It felt like a dream…a traditional Earth wedding that was literally out of this world. Jacob kisses his daughter on the cheek and then gives his daughter away. After they were standing side by side in front of General Hammond, Jack leans way over to whisper in her ear. “By the way, I still really like that dress.” They exchanged smirks. Although he may have appeared to be his normal, comical self, he was actually full of butterflies. He could not wait to share his vows, but he still hoped that they were perfect. They had to be because she was perfect. “Samantha, I take you to be my wife, to have and to hold, in sickness in and in health, for richer or for poorer, for the rest of my life. I still remember the first day I saw you…that determination to prove yourself in your eyes. We have been through so much together. Time and time again, through alternate realities even, we have been drawn together. We have suffered triumphs and heartaches side by side. We have looked death in the face and survived side by side. There have been countless, and I do mean countless, moments that you have completely taken my breathe away. Rules have kept us apart until now, but deep down inside, I have always felt that we were meant to be together. I can not imagine someone more perfect to have and to hold, for as long as we both shall live.” He slips the ring on her finger as a single tear rolls down her cheek. “Jack, I take you to be my husband, to have and to hold, in sickness and in health, for richer or for poorer, for the rest of my life. I, too, remember the first day we met. That is the day I first fell in love with you. Some might call me crazy, but I just knew. Yes, you often tried to hide it. You tried to be comical and nonchalant, but I knew. I laughed with you, cried with you. I saved your life, and you have saved mine. As you have told me, though we never really got the opportunity to date, me being the major and you being the colonel, through it all, we have gotten to know each other more intimately then any dating couple could ever dream of. I remember thinking we had lost you to Bahl. I remember how the single thought of never seeing you again crushed me, and I couldn’t imagine anyone else I would want to spend my life with, to have and to hold, for as long as we both shall live.” As she slips the ring on his finger, he can’t help himself. He takes her gently in his arms and lets all his emotions flow through with as kiss. They aren’t even listening as General Hammond pronounces them man and wife. The only thing that matters is each other. The crowd is cheering all around them, but their love drowns out the noise. This moment, this one moment in time, is absolutely perfect. “I love you, Jack.” “I love you, too, Samantha O’Neil….and by the way, I still really like that dress.” |

A.N.: Sorry, when I posted the first thread I didn't know I was going to continue on with the story, but it beckoned to be continued. Not quite done yet, but I just had to share. “Did you know that Daniel gave me crap about this honeymoon spot?” “Well, Jack, it is kind of unexpected.” “How is this unexpected of me to pick?” “I think they were more so shocked that I would agree to it.” “Now, you see, that is one of the things I just love about you. You aren’t all girly-girly. You can handle nature.” “I don’t think that is why they were so shocked. I just think they were expecting us to go somewhere more foreign.” “We have spent so much time traveling from planet to planet. For me, staying close to home is a vacation.” “Do you want to know what’s strange?” “Hmm?” “That we have gotten to the point where we view a couple states over as close to home. I mean, we we’re only in Minnesota!” “Ah, yes, and there is no where else I would rather be. Me, you, a lake, and a fishing boat.” “Do you know what I like about this place.” “Hmm?” “Me, you, a lake, and a fishing boat…with no one around to see us.” She starts crawling towards him in the boat. “I think I see where you are going with this.” “Oh, do you?” She continues creeping forward until she is inches from his face. “Oh, yes, I think I do.” He pulls her the rest of the way so that she practically falls onto his lap causing the boat to rock. A little water splashes into the boat, and they break out into a laugh before reuniting in a kiss. The sun was starting to set upon the lake. A chill washed through the air, and Sam huddles up next to Jack for warmth. He pulls a blanket out from under the bench and wraps it around her. There honestly was nothing else he would rather be doing. “Sam?” “Yeah?” “Are you happy?” “Of course I’m happy. This is our honeymoon. How could I not be happy?” “Oh, I don’t know. I wanted to make sure you didn’t have any regrets. We rushed into everything so fast.” “Do you have regrets?” “Not one bit.” “Me either...Hey, Jack?” “Hmm?” “Are you going to miss it? The work, I mean.” “I’ll be honest with ya. When I first started considering retirement, I was a little worried I would grow to miss the action. Then, I thought I might miss the friendships. Now, though, I remember that if I had not retired, this would have never happened. If I have to choose between the work and you, I will choose you any day.” “Are you okay with me sticking with it?” “Sam, of course I am. You are good at what you do. Daniel and Teal’c, they are good at what they do, and I know the three of you will watch out for one another. Plus, this way, I can keep tabs on the place. All in all, I want you to be happy.” “I am happy.” “And that makes me the happiest man of all.” -------------------------- “So, I have to ask, out of curiosity of course, was there a special moment for you when you first realized you couldn’t live without me?” “Hmm, I don’t know. Why? Is there a moment for you?” “I’ll tell mine if you tell yours.” “Well, when you put it that way, yes, Sam, there was. It was the first time I had ever heard someone refer to a fight you were fighting as a fight to the death.” “But, Jack, we weren’t even working together that long at that point. That had to have been when I was fighting for the Shavadi.” “Yes, it was. I think you underestimate the fact of how much I really liked that dress.” There was a long pause as Samantha contemplates this with a smile and a blush. “No, actually, I had respected you from day one…right off the bat. You walked into that conference room on that first day with so much, oh, I don’t know, gumption, if you will. You got my attention. You see, I like that about you, your stubbornness, as much as I may pretend I don’t. Believe it or not, the phrase that really started to spark an interest in my heart was ‘…just because my reproductive organs are on the inside and yours are on the outside…’ Now, that was special. They way you smiled back at me that day. That was special.” He flashes a smirk before continuing. “That’s when I started to, as you would say, fall in love with you. However, you asked for the moment when I first realized I couldn’t live without you. I have to admit, on that planet, when you were abducted, I was scared to death, not knowing if you were alive or not. Then, at that moment, when I heard the words fight to the death, my blood ran cold. I had my hand on my gun ready to shoot whoever I had to in order to keep you safe. Luckily, you are one hell of a combat fighter, and you made my job a tinsy bit easier…but what about you? I shared mine, now you have to share yours.” “I was not lying when I had said I knew, from the first instance, that I loved you. There was something about you. I just can’t explain it…the look in your eyes, that smirk. However, I had to do my very best to hide my feelings. I went into a form of denial because I knew you were someone I could not have. Then, we got infected with that disease, and I, well, you know, attached you.” “Oh, yes, I remember…which, by the way, I am so happy that didn’t leave a scar. When you wore that tank top again last night…” “Yeah, okay, anyways…I have to say, that moment when I attached you, yes, I was so ashamed, knowing my behavior was inappropriate, but it felt so good to finally release some of that tension. However, those feelings, too, I had to repress. That moment that did it for me was seeing Dr. Sam Carter, from that alternate reality, kiss you good-bye. I realized then that I wanted to be kissing you like that. That was the reality I wanted for myself, and I realized that although we could only be friends, I could not stand to lose you as she had.” “Ah, yes, I had liked that moment, too, by the way. I pretended it was you, but I have to admit, I like you WAY better.” “Oh, yeah? And why is that?” “That Sam was a little girly-girly. I like the military you…the person I can joke around with like ‘one of the boys’, the girl not holding back on primal instincts…I really like that.” “Oh yeah?” “Yeah.” “Well, we still have two more hours before we have to leave the hotel for the airport to go home…” “Now, see, that’s the Sam I like” He winked at her as she literally jumped into his arms knocking him down onto the bed. She had good plans for those two hours. ........................................ Back, once again, in her office, Sam had mixed feelings. As good as it was to be back at work, it was weird without him there. Plus, after two weeks of nature and pure sunlight, the artificial lights were a bit depressing. She almost sighed a sigh of relief when she heard a knock on her door. “Major Carter, oh my apologies, Major O’Neil, welcome back “ “General Hammond, good to be back.” “I hate to be the bearer of bad news after what must sure have been a terrific two weeks, but I am going to have to send you out on a mission today.” “It’s okay, sir, I understand.” “Briefing is in an hour.” “Ok. See you then.” The briefing was short and to the point. It seems as though Bahl had somehow gotten his hands on a potential devasting weapon, and the SG-1 team was needed to go in and destroy it. “But don’t worry, Major. You should be home in enough time for your first supper at home.” The team was standing at the edge of the ramp waiting for the gate to dial out. Sam looked to her left and to her right at Teal’c and Daniel, and a pang of sadness ran down her spine. “Sam, is everything okay?” “Hmm? Oh, yeah, Daniel. It’s okay. It just still seems a little weird that he’s not here with us.” “Yeah, but on the bright side, you get to go home and see him tonight.” A smile reformed on her face. “Yeah, I will, Daniel. Yeah, I will.” Hours had passed. SG-1’s deadline to pass had been breached an hour ago. General Hammond’s blood was starting to run cold when he heard the siren for an incoming traveler.” “Sir, it’s SG-1.” “Open the iris!” Teal’c walked through the wormhole carrying Daniel Jackson in his arms. He appeared to be unconscious and seriously injured. He started running down the steps to the gate. “Page a medic to the embarkation room, now! My god, Teal’c, what in the world happened, and where’s Major O’Neil.” “It appears to have been a trap, sir. They were waiting for us when we stepped out of the wormhole. It was an ambush. They grabbed Major O’Neil. Daniel Jackson tried to stop them, and they shot him and left him for dead. I tried to shoot them with my zap gun, sir, but they were too fast. I am sorry, sir. I have lost Major O’Neil.” Meanwhile, on a distant planet… “Bring me O’Neil!” “Bahl, my lord, we bring to you the one they call O’Neil.” Two warriors drag Sam in and throw her in front of Bahl. “What is this? This is not O’Neil! This is the one they call Carter.” “I am sorry, my lord, but this is the one they were calling O’Neil.” “You have failed me. Now you must die for you disobedience.” Bahl raises his hand to take out the warrior when Sam yells out in desperation. “Wait! He did as you asked. Please don’t kill him. I am O’Neil. I am Major Samantha O’Neil.” “You are NOT. I wanted Colonel Jack O’Neil. Nobody defies me like he did and gets away with it.” He turns back to the warrior and raises back up his hand. “Now DIE.” He looks back and Sam and tilts his head slightly to the left. “Although…this might work in my favor, anyways. I am somewhat familiar with your earthly customs. Your name has changed. You took on the name of a male comrade. Marriage, I presume?” Her silence and stubborn glare gives him the answer he needs. “Well, then, it seems I have something that Colonel Jack O’Neil will certainly want back.” .................................... A knock came at Jack’s door. Anguish overtook his body as he opened the door. “Jack, I came here as a friend to tell you in person.” “Is she okay?” “Well, SG-1 was sent on a mission this morning…” “Dammit, sir! Is she okay?” “As far as we can tell so far, she is for now.” “For now?” Jack, you had better have a seat. General Hammond waited for Jack to be fully seated before breaking the news. “We received a verbal message a little over an hour ago. It seems as though Major O’Neil has been taken into the custody of Bahl. He tricked us. Ambushed SG-1 as they stepped out of the wormhole this morning. According to the verbal message, Bahl was trying to get you. They took the wrong O’Neil back by mistake. He wants to speak with you.” The news was shattering. Jack felt as if his world was collapsing under him. Then, he just got mad. “Oh, I’m going to get that little…” “Jack, we have reason to believe that he using Major O’Neil as leverage to get you. I think he referred to it as ‘having something valuable that you might want back. I strongly urge you to come back with me to try to reason with him.” “Oh, you better believe I’m coming back with you. A member of SG-1 is missing, and it just so happens to be my wife.” The car ride back to the complex was so silent it was almost unbearable. Jack just starred out the car window and couldn’t take his mind off of the fact that she was there because she married him. He had to get her back. There was no other option. Sitting in the conference room was unbearable. Every moment sitting there was one more that she was gone. “Look people, I know that you have all this planning to do, but meanwhile, my wife is in the care of Bahl. You people have no idea what Bahl I capable of. I was there once. I experienced that once, and there’s no way in hell I’m just going to sit here while he has Sam.” “Look, Colonel, we all want to get Major O’Neil home safely, but you know as well as I that Bahl has a fortress protecting him.” “Don’t you think I know that? Let me talk to him. Let me talk to Bahl. It’s me he wants. He wasn’t going after Sam. She is just an innocent victim. So, let ME talk to him.” General Hammond exchanged looks with Jack and just nods. At this point, they were willing to try anything. He leads Jack into the command room to try to make contact with Bahl. “Bahl! Are you there? You listen to me, Bahl. I swear to God if you so harm one hair on her pretty little head, I’ll…” “Colonel Jack O’Neil. How wonderful it is to hear your voice again.” “Yeah, yeah. Cut the crap. I want Major O’Neil back.” “I will return your wife in exchange for you.” “What’s the big idea, Bahl? Even you said that I, too, was a victim of Cannon. I had nothing to do with it.” “And so that may be, but nobody escapes from me, Colonel O’Neil.” “Now, come on, there must be something we can work out. We give you the information you wanted on Cannon, and you give me my wife back…” “You should see your wife, Colonel O’Neil, kneeling before me as I touch her face. She is a spirited one, full of fire…beautiful, too…so how wonderful it could be to make her one of my personal slaves…to break her down…use her…” Sounds of struggle could be heard in the background. He could hear her moaning in distress. Jack could just picture it in his mind as his wife, bound and gagged, struggled to break through. “BAHL, I WILL NOT LET THAT HAPPEN!” “Then come to me, Colonel O’Neil. Come to me, and I will let her go. You have one more day.” ....................... “Sam…Sam, wake up. Wake up, honey. I’m here.” She slowly begins to open her eyes. Her voice trembles. “Jack? Where are we?” She opens her eyes fully to see a small yellow room with two benches and a window, no doors. She looks up to see that they are in a pit of some sort. “Sam, we are still in the fortress.” “Daniel, Teal’c?” “They aren’t here. I had to send them home.” “What’s going on?” “We made an attempt to rescue you, but it failed miserably. We were cornered. There was no way for us to escape. Bahl gave an ultimatum…either I stay here and Daniel and Teal’c goes home or we all die on the spot. I sent them home. I figure if they went home, they could maybe formulate a better plan to get us out of here. Dead, we all would have been useless.” “Why am I still here? I thought he only wanted you.” “Well, that’s what we thought, too, but lo-and-behold, when we got here, he decided it would be more fun to have us both here. I’m sorry. I didn’t have a choice, but on the bright side, I think we have a better chance together.” “I don’t get it. Why doesn’t he just kill us, then? Isn’t that what he wants?” “I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but no. Yes, he wants to kill us, but he wants to pleasure himself while doing it. This man is about torture, Sam.” She tries to stand up, wavers slightly, and falls back down. “What happened to me? Why was I unconscious?” “I wish I knew. You weren’t there when we tried to rescue you. The best idea I can come up with, and you know how well I do that, is that when he saw the attack coming, he drugged you and placed you in here. You were already lying in here unconscious when I got thrown in, and of course, the nature by which I got thrown in here knocked you around a little, too, not helping matters.” “So what’s the plan? What are we going to do?” “The only thing we can do. Wait for Daniel and Teal’c to come back or for some other miraculous moment of opportunity . We will get out of here, do you hear me?” “But what if he gets tired of us first?” “NO, we will get out of here. That’s an order, you hear me? From Colonel to Major, that’s an order.” “Yes, sir.” “Now, Bahl isn’t going to do anything more to us tonight. I say we try to get a little sleep so we are well rested in the morning. We have a big day ahead of us.” He lies down on the floor and pulls her closer. She lays her head on his chest and wraps her arm around his waist. He lets out a sigh of contentment. As miserable as it was in this place, and how much he knew they were going to have to face in the morning, he could not stay upset with her beside him. “Goodnight, Jack.” “Goodnight, Sam” “Not how I pictured our first night together ‘home’.” “But at least we’re together.” “Yeah, that’s true….uh, Jack…” “It’s my sidearm.” She raises an eyebrow. “Really…I swear.” “That’s not going to work this time, Jack. Bahl took your sidearm.” “Uh, yeah, well….” “Goodnight, Jack.” “Goodnight, Sam.” .................... Jack opened his eyes to find himself in a bed. He knew this bed. He’s been in this bed before. “What the…” “Colonel O’Neil. It’s good to see you awake.” “Dr. Frasier, how in the world did I get here.” “Ah yes, well, I am supposed to give you this note.” Colonel Jack O’Neil, Consider this your wedding present. ~Thor “Those guys. I really like those guys. Wait, where’s Sam?” “Jack, before I open this curtain, I have to tell you something. It seems as though Bahl has drugged Major O’Neil in some way…” “Yeah. I know that already. She was unconscious when I joined her in the cell. Groggy as all hell when I woke her up.” “Interesting. Did she ever fully wake up?” “Techinically, I guess not. Her voice trembled. When she tried to walk, she fell right back down. Why?” “She’s unconscious again. This time, however, we haven’t been able to wake her up at all. We were thinking it might be something Bahl put into her system to cause a withdrawal if she escaped.” “A withdrawal?” “Yes. Remember that time you all became addicted to that light source? When you left that planet for a significant amount of time, your body went into withdrawal. We thinks something similar, but different, has happened to Major O’Neil. Before I open this curtain, I have to warn you about what you are about to see. She stopped breathing on her own about an hour after you appeared here last night. We had to intubate her. She was several IV’s hooked up…fluids to keep her hydrated and to flush out her system and medications that we think might possibly help. It’s not a pretty sight, Colonel.” “Just let me see her. Let me see her!” Dr. Frasier grimaced but slowly pulled back the curtain. After the initial shock of it all, he jumps out of bed and grabs Sam’s hand. “Oh, God, Sam. What did he do to you?” For the first time ever, Dr. Frasier saw Jack cry open-heartedly, without holding back. “Is she going to be okay?” “We don’t know. Her vitals are finally stable but not getting better, and she still hasn’t woken up. If she still has had no change by 48 hrs, we may have to consider our options.” “I understand. Can I be alone with her?” “Of course.” She takes one last look at the monitors before exiting and nods for everyone in the observation area to exit as well. “Sam, listen to me. Giving up isn’t like you. You are horribly stubborn and hard headed. You can’t give up on me. You can’t. I love you too much.” He grabs a chair and pulls it close. He wraps his hand around hers and lays his head on the bed beside her. Hours had passed, and he had not budged. A friendly hand touches his back. “General Hammond, if you have come to tell me to leave because I don’t officially belong at SGC anymore, you might as well forget it. I am not leaving.” “Nobody is going to make you leave, Jack. Retired or not, you are a member of the SGC family, and so is Sam. What is best for Sam right now is to have you there beside her.” “Thank you, Sir.” “I have just come to check if you were okay.” “I’ll be okay when she is okay, Sir.” “Do you need anything?” “I need you to work with Dr. Frasier to find a cure, Sir.” General Hammond just nods, pats Jack on the back for encouragement, and leaves to go find Dr. Frasier. Jack raises his head off of the bed and brushes a loose hair off her forehead. In the best soothing voice he could muster, he starts to sing to her. Let the world stop turning. Let the sun stop burning. Let them tell me love’s not worth going through. If it all falls apart, I will know deep in my heart The only dream that matters has come true. In this life, I was loved by you. “That’s a beautiful song, Jack.” “Thanks, Daniel. I heard somewhere that even when people are unconscious, they can still hear. Sam loves that song.” “She knows, Jack. I believe she knows you are here keeping her company, and I truly believe that is helping her.” “Do you think so?” “Yeah, I do. I really do.” “Thanks Daniel.” “ Did you want me to get you anything? Some food from the cafeteria maybe?” “No, thanks. I have no appetite. I just keep thinking of how if she hadn’t married me, had she still been Major Carter, this probably would have never happened.” “She doesn’t blame you, Jack. She doesn’t think like that.” After a long period of silence, Daniel musters a supportive smile and walks out. “Sam, I know you can here me in there. You have to make it. You just do. You saved me. When I first rejoined the stargate program, I was in bad shape, real bad shape. After returning from abedos, my wife had left me, my kid was still gone…I was going down, Sam, and you saved me. That look in your eyes, that look of stubborn innocence and good-heartedness, that first day I met you, it saved me. I can’t loose you, Sam. I just can’t. Wake up so you can beat the s**t out of me for doing this to you.” A noise causes him to jump back. He sees her body start to struggle. “Dr. Frasier! Dr. Frasier! Come here, NOW. She’s choking!” Dr. Frasier comes running into the nurse followed by a barrage of nurses. “She’s choking.” “We need to extubate her immediately!” “Extubate? What are you trying to kill her?” “No, Jack. Choking is a good thing. That means she is starting to breathe on her own again. Her body is fighting the tube.” Once the tube is out, Sam’s chest begins rising and falling on its own. Her eyes slowly start to come open. She tries to speak, but her throat is hoarse from the tube. Fear spreads across her face. Her heart rate begins to race as waves of anxiety ravel through her. “Jack?..Jack? What’s happening? Jack?” Jack pushes his way past the nurses to once again grab her hand. Immediately her heart rate starts to slow back to normal. “It’s okay, sweetheart. I’m here. Shh...don’t try to talk. It’s okay. You made it. You are going to be okay.” He pulls her body close to the edge of the bed so that her head was against his abdomen. He slowly stroked her hair until she fell back into a peaceful slumber. “She’s going to be okay, Colonel. She’s going to be just fine” “Thanks, Dr. Frasier.” Once she woke up, her eyes met his and his eyes filled with tears. “What the hell did he do to you?” “To be honest, I’m not sure. I just remember him shoving some liquid down my throat. He told me to be a good little girl, and he would keep the liquid from killing me. After that, I blanked out.” “Do you think Frasier was right in that it was some kind of a drug withdrawal?” “I don’t think so. Do you remember how you said Bahl threw an acid at you and then threw the antidote when you gave me what he wanted? I think this was along those lines. He put something in my body causing me to black out. Then, he gave me the antidote right before you showed up. That’s why I think I briefly woke up. However, I think the original drug was a lot longer acting then the antidote. I think he was planning on giving me the antidote in intervals to keep me from rebelling. When I left, the original drug took over my body.” “I am so sorry. Sam. I never planned on this happening.” “I know, Jack. I know.” ……. Her recovery was slow, but after a week, she was fully capable of going back home…to her new home…with the man she loved. Walking up to the door from the car, she suddenly turns and looks him square in the eye, but she couldn’t hide her smirk. “So, Jack…” “Yeah?” “When am I going to be able to kick your ass?” “You heard that.” “Every word. I also heard the part about me saving you. Was that true?” “Come on. I might joke around, but I wouldn’t ever lie to you. You changed me, Sam, and I don’t admit that to just anyone. Sure, Teal’c and Daniel helped a great deal, but you changed me the most. You had the courage of a lion and the innocence of a lamb. Your smile had the power to burn right through me. Not to mention that I can now listen to a scientist for longer than 3 seconds without completely losing my mind. I think its up to 10 seconds.” He gave her a slap on the back and burst out laughing. She gave him a scowl back, or at least tried to, before bursting out laughing right beside him. He picked her up and carried her into the house. “Do you know what, Sam?” “What?” “I like carrying you like this a lot better this way, when you aren’t seriously injured.” He sets her down and kisses her. “Do you know what, Jack?” “What?” “You changed me, too. Believe it or not, when I first walked into SGC, I was completely career focused…” “Oh, no! I have no trouble believing that at all.” She rolls her eyes and giggles. “As I was saying, I was completely career focused. So were you, but in a different way. You got the job done, but you never left a team member behind. You showed me that there was more to it than proving myself. Eventually, you even stopped treating me like ‘the girl’ and started treating me like ‘one of the guys’. You accepted me for who I was, even though I didn’t realize it at first. I thought you doubted me, when in fact, you cared about me. For once, I didn’t have to prove myself. I could let myself truly show when I was with you. You saw within me, to the real me, and liked me just the way I was, faults and all, and that changed me.” He turns and grabs her by the cheeks. “How could I not like you? You are just so darn cute.” She starts laughing so hard that she falls against his chest. He wraps his arms around her and starts leading her down the hall. “Come on, kiddo, to bed with you. You’ve had a long week. ............................................... Jack was on the couch, watching television, when he heard the sound of running water and the scent of lavender started to fill the house. She heard a knock on the door. He opened the door a crack. “Sam, are you okay?” “Yeah, you can come in.” “Funny. I didn’t see you as the bubble bath and candle type.” “Well, Jack, even I have a feminine side. No, actually, I never used to be, but there something about the job…visiting foreign planets that are dirty, the noises, the chaos…that just makes you want to come home and take a nice, relaxing bath. Is it bothering you?” “Oh, no. By all means…” He picks up one of the candles and brings it to his nose. “I like the feminine touch. It means I have a wife. I like that.” “Um, Jack.” “Yeah?” “I did just remember something, though. Since we never actually dated, and this technically the first time I’ve ever been overnight in this house, I, um, don’t know where the towels are.” “Again, just so darn cute.” He points his finger up to catch her attention and then points it to under the sink. “A towel, ma’ lady.” As he places the towel down, he lingers a little over the bathtub. “So this bath thing, you find it relaxing?” She doesn’t notice him start to lower his hand into the water. “Yeah, I do.” “Oh, really? Because I find it FUN.” He says as he throws a whole handful of bubbles at her. She giggles as she throws a handful of bubbles back starting a whole-out bubble war. By the end, it looked like a tornado blew through. “Oh, Jack, look at the bathroom. It’s a mess. I’m sorry.” “What are you apologizing to me for? It’s your bathroom, too, now. It’s our mess, and it’s perfectly fine. Not to mention, I’m the one who started it, remember?” He leans down and kisses her on the forehead and starts to turn to walk out. “Enjoy the rest of your bath.” “You know…you don’t have to go. You should come in. I’ll show you just how relaxing a bubble bath can be.” She pats the water and his stomach fills with butterflies. “Well, now. That sounds like an offer I just can’t refuse.” As she leaned her back against his chest and slid down into the water, he wrapped his arms around her and held her tight. “I think I’m starting to get the whole relaxing thing.” “Mmm. Yes.” “But you didn’t have to give up your relaxing bath. I’m sure it’s much more comfortable without an extra body.” “Hmm. That’s where I disagree. This is the most relaxing bath I have ever had.” “Sam?” “Hmm?” “I really do love you, you know?” “I know you do, Jack. I have no doubt. I love you, too.” He ran his fingers through her hair as she nestled her head up against his chest. How good it was to finally be home. |

It had been a month since Sam’s incident. Jack was in the backyard tinkering with his new telescope when he saw a familiar face approaching from around side the house. “Hey, Jack! How’s it going?” “Oh, hey, Daniel. It goes. How about you?” “Good. Good. I wasn’t sure what you and Sam would be doing, but I brought pizza and old Star Trek movies in case you were looking for something to do.” “Are you looking for something to do, Daniel?” “Come on, Jack. Don’t make me do this whole sentimental thing.” “What sentimental thing.” “The whole thing where I say how much we all missing just hanging out with you, having you around.” “Hey, it’s okay. You can stay. I would love the company.” Daniel takes a look around the yard. “So where’s Sam? I thought you two would be off somewhere together. I was actually quite surprised to you were actually home. I was just taking a stab in the dark thinking you’d be here. Is everything okay?” “Oh, don’t worry. Everything’s fine. You know married people do spend time apart without something having to be wrong.” “Oh, I know. It’s just that we just got off a three day exploration mission. This is Sam’s first day off in a week.” “Ah, yes, but you know Sam pretty much as good as I do, Danny boy. She loves her work. A good day off for her is analyzing her missions or exploring new inventions.” “And you’re okay with this?” “Of course I am, Daniel. Do you want to know why?” Daniel raised an eyebrow in interest. “It makes her happy, and when she’s happy, I’m happy. Not to mention that although I highly, and I do mean highly, respect Sam’s work and mind and everything she has to offer the world, I am not much into that scientific stuff. I listen when she needs me to, but for the most part, she tinks around with her stuff, and I tink around with mine…like this new telescope I bought yesterday. It lets her unwind, to think things out, and I get to do what I love. We agreed on this, and it keeps us both happy. When she’s done for the time being, or needs my opinion, she knows where to find me, and I’m always here for her.” “Oh, so does she want to be left alone? Do you? I mean, by no means should you feel obligated to hang out with me. We can get together at a different time…” “No, no. I’m thrilled to see you. Believe it or not, but I do value our friendship, and I know Sam will be equally as thrilled. I’m sure she could use the break anyways. She loves her work, but she loves her friends, too” Daniel just nods as he takes a seat on the stoop. Jack puts down his screwdriver and takes a seat next to him. “In all seriousness, though, can I ask you a blunt question, Daniel?” “Of course, Jack. Anything.” “Are you mad at me for marrying Sam?” Daniel leaned back with a look utter confusion. “What?” “Come on, Daniel, we both know you had feelings for Sam. I am just curious if it was just friendship…or something more. I saw some of the times you looked at her. I’m not going to be mad either way. I just was serious when I said I valued our friendship. I don’t want you to hold any grudge because I got the girl.” “Yes, Jack, it is true that Sam holds a special place in my heart…right beside you and Teal’c. All in all, she was my best friend. She understood my rants just as I understood hers.. For once, I was the only geek around, and I liked that, but that’s all. She’s a real good friend.” “Really?” “Really. I mean seriously, Jack, think about it. I’m not military.” “So?” “So…that means there was no military protocol preventing me from attempting to develop something more with her. I didn’t because I didn’t want something more from her. Even if I did, Jack, her heart belonged to you from day one. I would have been stupid to try to think otherwise. I honestly was thrilled to hear that news that you two had gotten together. If I wasn’t, I wouldn’t have encouraged you to try to tell her your feelings that day in the conference room.” “True. Okay, buddy. I just wanted to make sure.” He reaches over and pats Daniel on the back. “Now, how about we go find Sam and eat some of that pizza before it gets too cold.” He extends a hand to help Daniel up before picking up the pizza boxes and opening the back door and yelling out. “Sam? Can you come here?” Rustling was heard in the distance, and Sam emerges from the basement stairway. “Jack, I heard you yelling. Is everything okay?” “Yeah, but look what the cat drug in…good ol’ Danny boy, here…and he brought pizza.” “Ah…our savior. You know Jack here got kind of a bad deal when it comes to me as wife material. I am a rotten cook. He’s no gourmet chef, either.” He wraps his arms around her and leans in to talk in a whisper just loud enough for Daniel to hear, too. “Oh, but don’t forget, my melted ice is to die for.” Jack just smirked as Sam broke out into a giggle. Daniel just looked confused but shrugged his shoulders in defeat. Jack let go of Sam and extended his arm towards the couch. “Come on, kiddos, our pizza and Star Trek movies await.” ............................ Another couple of months had passed. Friday nights, when on world, of course, officially became ‘hang out’ night with Daniel and Teal’c. Jack had started to settle into a pretty satisfying groove of retirement from the military, and Sam was as happy with her work as ever. The SG-1 team had just come back from a standard reconnaissance mission, and Dr. Frasier was just going over the standard post-mission eval. with Sam. “So, Sam, anything unusual I should know about this mission regarding your health?” “Well, I did get a little lightheaded at one point, but it was really hot out there. I think I was just a little dehydrated.” “Well, okay, that’s probably the case, but I think I’m going to run some blood work just to be sure. You are looking a little pale.” Dr. Frasier reaches into a drawer and pulls out a tourniquet and needle. She gives Sam a supportive smile as she starts to draw the blood. “Don’t worry. This won’t take long, but I would like you to stay in the infirmary until we find out that you are truly okay.” “That’s okay. I understand. Do whatever you need to. Better safe than sorry, but if you don’t mind, I’d like to at least call Jack and tell him I’ll be a little late.” Dr. Frasier just nods and walks away to take the blood sample to the lab. Sam reaches for the phone and dials home. “ ‘Ello.” “Hey, hon. It’s me. I’m going to be a little late tonight. Dr. Frasier wanted to do a little blood work.” “Is everything okay?” “Yeah. I’m sure I just got a little dehydrated.” “You do know that you carry those canteens for a reason, right?” “Yeah, but I like to ration the supplies anytime I can. You never know when you are going to get stranded out there.” “I know. You’re right. I just get worried sometimes. Take your time. Call me when you’re done, okay?” “Okay.” It only took about an hour for Dr. Frasier to return. “Sam, is there something you aren’t telling me?” “No, I don’t’ think so.” “Are you sure? How long have you been feeling symptoms?” “Like I said, I just got lightheaded today on the mission.” “Is that the truth?” “Ok. No. I have been feeling funny for the past couple of weeks. I tried to ignore it. I didn’t want to miss any time away from work. It was nothing I couldn’t handle. Then, today, I really did get lightheaded.” “Sam, you know how dangerous it is in this line of work to hide your symptoms. You need to tell me everything if you want me to take good care of you. Not to mention, you could endanger others that way.” “Why? What it is? Am I going to be okay? Did I bring something back to base?” “Well, not exactly, but I do think you will need to tell Jack right away.” “Oh my God. It’s contagious, isn’t it? Is he going to be okay?” “Oh, he’s going to be perfectly fine. It’s you I’m worried about.” “Dr. Frasier, you are really scaring me. What is wrong with me?” “You’re pregnant, Sam.” “Pregnant?” “Pregnant.” “I thought that at Jack and my ages, our chances were slim. We aren’t exactly spring chickens.” “True. The odds do decrease with age, but it is perfectly normal to become pregnant at a later age. Are you okay? I mean, I thought you’d be thrilled. You and Jack are so happy together.” “Oh, I am. No doubt about it. I’m just shocked. Not to mention, I don’t know how Jack is going to feel about it. I mean, he’s great with children. I think he’d make a wonderful father, but after what happened to Charlie…well…we just didn’t discuss the possibility of having a child.” Dr. Frasier sat down on the bed beside side and grabbed her hand in support. “Listen, Sam. You have to tell Jack. I’m sure he will be thrilled, as well, but if you need to talk later, you know where to find me, okay?” Sam just nods her head but is already lost in thought. Things were going so well in her life. She was doing well at work. She had great friends, and she was married to the man of her dreams. What if he got upset? What if he left?” The car ride home felt so lonely. She couldn’t understand how she could be so happy but so scared all at the same time. She pulled into the driveway and lingered for a few minutes. She knew that once she walked in that door, he’d ask what Dr. Frasier had to say, and she knew she couldn’t lie to him. She let out a sigh, and opened the car door. “Here goes nothing.” She took a deep breathe before opening the door. He was waiting for her; she could tell. “Sam, are you okay? I saw you just sitting out there in the car. I was worried.” “Jack, I have some news, and I don’t know how you’re going to take it…” “Sam, seriously, what’s wrong. Did Dr. Frasier find something?” She raised her head to look him square in the eyes. “I’m pregnant, Jack.” “Pregnant?” All she could do was nod. At first he just starred at her, and she couldn’t tell what he was thinking. Then, a huge smile appeared on his face. “We’re having a baby, Sam!” He picked her up and twirled her in the air. “This is great.” She finally let out a sigh of relief. “Oh, Jack. I was so worried you’d leave me.” He looked at her with concern. “Sam, why in the world would you think an idea like that…” He paused for a moment when he saw the pain in her eyes. Then, it came to him. “Oh……Sam, what happened in the past, happened in the past. Yes, I will always have a place for Charlie and Sarah in my heart, but that will never, ever, stop me from building a life with you. I love you, Sam, and I cannot wait to have a child with you.” “Really?” “Of course.” He grabs her chin with both his hands. “You listen to me, Samantha O’Neil. I love you with all my heart, and I will never leave you. I can’t wait to build a family with you.” He pulled her the rest of the way and kissed her gently. He could feel her body relax in his arms. He pulled back to see the smile return to her face. “We’re having a baby, Jack!” He pulled her back to him, kissing her not with passion, but with pure love. |
