Samantha Stephens woke with a start, she had dreamed about a night that had happened almost 4 years ago. She could never forget it, that night meant some much to her, even though it was against the rules.

****Flashback****

It was July 4 weekend and the team was getting together for a weekend cookout at Jack's cabin. Sam had arrived early to help Jack out with getting things ready for the party.

"Hey Carter could you take the steaks out of the fridge, the marinate should be good on them by now, and I will go get the grill going, the guys should be here soon."

"Sure thing sir" Sam replied as she headed toward the kitchen. As Jack headed out on to the deck Sam heard the rest of the team coming up to the door.

"Hey guys! Hey Janet, Jack is on the deck, drinks are in the cooler"

"Ok" Daniel said as him and Teal'c headed out to the deck.

"Hey how are you?" Janet replied.

" I'm good, so you and Daniel finally …um…official on the dating thing?" Sam said with a smirk

Janet and Daniel had been beating around the bush about their feelings for a while now, of course they weren't the only ones, but the difference stood they could opening date if they choose to.

"He told me last night that he wanted to go for it…a relationship that is…"

"and…so what did you say?" Sam questioned already knowing her answer.

"You know that already Sam…I can tell by the smirky look on your face, of course I said yes" Janet said. So then the girls decide to go join the guys out back.

They all had a great time just hanging out, with no cares, everyone had pretty much drunk to their limits, so there was no going home Janet and Daniel feeling pretty comfortable with one another, ask Jack if they could take the guest room. So then Teal'c passed out on the sofa. That left Jack and Sam alone sitting on the deck just staring up at the stars.

"It's amazing to look up at the stars now and to know that there is just so much more out there isn't?" Jck asked as he came closer to sit next to Sam he then put his arm around her and pulled into his embrace, she openly accepted.

"Sir,…"

"Sam come on it's just you and me how about we drop the sir?"

"ok…Jack what if I quit the Airforce? I mean stayed on with the SGC but as a civilian, do you think we could ever work?"

Jack pulled away " Sam I would never ask you to give up your career"

"Cause you don't feel anything for me?"

At that moment Jack couldn't resist the look in her eye, he took his hands holding her face, stared into her eyes then it happened he kissed her, with all the passion of his love that he had been holding back. She melted in his arms, the pulled away for a breathe, and he took her by the hand, lead her inside to the bedroom.
