Not So Happy Valentine's Day
Samantha Carter-Jackson slowly ascended the steps of her porch. She fumbled with her keys before she realized she hadn't even locked the door. As she entered the house she dropped her purse on the nearby table and went straight to the living room. She looked around the room and let out a heavy sigh. Things were just like she left them the night before. The television was still on and her partially eaten dinner sat on the coffee table. She had dropped everything when she got the call from the SGC. General Landry said Daniel had been brought back unconscious. Details were sketchy at the time. She raced to the base, but she was too late. Daniel was dead.
She slowly made her way to the bedroom. She flopped face down on the bed and began to sob. He was gone. Her beloved husband was gone and this time he wasn't coming back. Some Valentine's Day this turned out to be, she thought. Her thoughts then went to two days ago.
Daniel had planned a day full of events. They had received the news that Daniel would be off world during the upcoming holiday. He wanted to spend some romantic time with his wonderful wife. He started the morning off with breakfast in bed. When she finished eating he prepared a hot bubble bath for her.
Later that morning he whisked her away to the little park where they'd had their first date. After they walked around the park they stopped in front of a bench that overlooked a pond. They sat and talked about various things, one thing in particular was Daniel's upcoming mission. He was scheduled to leave the next day, the day before Valentine's Day, the mission was estimated to take no more than three days. He was to accompany SG-17 to J2P-024.
After the park they headed to the movie theater to catch a matinee. Although they missed most of the movie due to several make out sessions. Luckily there were only a few other couples in the theater.
Following the movie Daniel took Sam to the new little Italian restaurant. The place was dimly lit and very romantic. Most of the light came from the two candles that sat on each table. They spent most of the meal in silence. Sam would occasionally look up to find Daniel watching her. She just smiled and continued to eat.
When they returned home Daniel presented Sam with her early Valentine's Day gift. She quickly unwrapped the shiny paper to reveal a black velvet box. She grinned at Daniel as she slowly opened the box. She let out a small gasp when she saw the contents. Inside was a gorgeous emerald necklace with matching earrings. She leaned over and kissed him. "They're beautiful", she said through her tears, "thank you!"
"You're welcome, sweetie"
She kissed him once more before giving him his gift. He smiled as he took the box. He shook it slightly before ripping the paper off. He removed the lid to the box and shoved the tissue paper aside. He looked up at Sam with tears in his eyes. Nestled in the tissue paper were two tiny booties and a small onesie that read "I love Daddy". He stood clutching the onesie, "oh Sam", he whispered hugging her tightly. "A baby?"
She pulled back to look in his eyes. "A baby."
Sam was immediately brought back to the present. What was she going to do without Daniel? How was she going to raise his baby? So many questions swirled in her head. Her heart had shattered into a million pieces. She prayed she'd have the strength to continue.
THE END
