Summary: some of this is based on Spoilers for S9 I have read, but most is just me. What could have happened to the lives of Kerry, Jack and Sam after Threads.

It had been five months since the death of Jacob Carter. Sam had taken her father's death hard and distanced her self from Daniel and Teal'c. With Teal'c it was easy he was off playing with Bra'tac so it wasn't hard not to see him. Daniel was more difficult for her to ignore, but she managed. On the other hand her relationship with Jack had grown into something more. Shortly after getting back from their fishing trip they had started dating. It started simply enough with a first date…

Jack had arranged to pick Sam up around seven thirty, but arrived ten minutes early. He knocked on her front door but when no one answered, he started fiddling with the handle and found the door open.

He opened the door, and called out for Sam. He heard a voice coming from the back of the house. He made his way down the hall; he paused outside of a partially closed door. He could hear the conversation on the other side of the door and the way things sounded he assumed it was Cassie on the other end.

He stopped when he was half way in the door. There before him she stood, a little startled but she looked more beautiful than he had ever seen her before. She wore her hair flicked out a little more than usual, a light pink silk dress which hugged all the right places and plunged to the floor at the back of it and small white heals.

"Wow" he muttered just as she hung up the phone and came to stand before him. "I let myself in, the door was open, and…. wow."

"Thanks… You ready to go? I'll be just…" she was interrupted by his lips capturing hers. Things soon became heated and his hands began to explore her body, "we can order pizza later" she muttered against his lips as they fell in a heap on the bed.

Things remained like that for quite a while, until one day when it got to the point where they were not using Sam's house anymore. She barley went there even when Jack wasn't with her and she didn't need to go home, everything she needed was at his house. So Sam decided to bring it up one day when they were relaxing in the new hammock in Jack's backyard.

"Jack…I have been thinking and…well I never use my house any more, it's a waste just sitting there…so I wondered if maybe I could move in? With you?" Sam gazed up at his face taking in his features as she spoke.

"If your sure? I mean I didn't want to rush you into anything but I had been thinking about that for some time now" Jack answered running his fingers through her hair, which had now grown to shoulder length.

"You wouldn't be rushing me at all, its what I want too" Sam stroked his face looking lovingly into his eyes.

"I do love you, you know?" Jack sat up straight when he declared this to her.

She didn't answer, she didn't need to, and she kissed him passionately and spent the night showing him how much he meant to her.

Jack had taken the promotion to head up Homeworld Security which had meant he was based in Washington DC. It had to be said that the couple were doing very well after all they had been through, Jack would come back at every chance he had to see Sam, who was now living in his house. Sam wasn't at the SGC right now, but would soon be returning to it, she had been at Area 51 ever since Jack had left.

Jack travelled home to Colorado Springs most weekends. It drove him crazy not to see Sam every day, but he knew what they had at the moment was not committed enough for both of them. He had heard her on the phone to Daniel once telling him that she felt something was missing, and how much she wanted to marry him, to have children while she still could, so now Jack was set on taking matters into his own hands.

When he arrived at the house on one pleasant summer Saturday morning Sam was leaning in the front doorway waiting for him with a wide grin on her face, which grew, when she saw him.

"Hey you, what took you so long?" Sam asked as she made her way down to greet him.

"Stuck in traffic, but none of that matters now I'm with you" Jack rapped his arms around her pulling her tight to him and kissing her softly.

"Lets go inside shall we?" Sam pulled on his hand and closed the door behind them.

Jack set the bag he had been carrying down in the bedroom before joining Sam in the kitchen and taking her into his arms from behind. They stood looking out into the garden, he could tell Sam had been getting nervous waiting for him because she had planted new flowers and she had dirt on the knees of her jeans, Jack had come to learn all of her little habits and gardening to use up time was one of them.

"You want to have a nap? You seem exhausted?" Jack grew a little concerned when she wouldn't stop yawning.

Sam spun round in his arms, pulling her hands through his hair. "Nah I'm good, but I wouldn't mind a little lie down" she answered wondering into the living area.

Jack went after her into the dimly lit room sitting down on the sofa before her and laying her across his lap, he looked like there was something on his mind. He continued to think to himself under her gaze for a while longer before voicing his thoughts.

"Sam…I've been thinking, and there's something I have been meaning to ask you" Jack muttered as he shifted her off his lap and went into the other room.

"Ok, sure anything" Sam said as Jack re entered the room and sat down facing her.

"Well… I'm just going to come out with this" Jack reached into his pocket and pulled out a beautiful diamond ring. "Will you marry me?" Jack looked like he was going to pass out and Sam didn't look that much better.

"Oh…my…God. Yes, yes I will" Sam couldn't get her words out and was gasping for air while wiping the tears that had formed, she sprang forward kissing him hard before he placed the ring on her finger.

"There's something I have been meaning to tell you as well, but I didn't know how you would react… I'm pregnant" Sam took hold of his hands while she waited for him to answer but all he did was sit there and stair at her, she couldn't help the smile that had appeared n her face at his reaction.

He stayed like that for another ten minutes before jumping in the air and scooping her up taking her to the bedroom.

Sunday was spent lazing around the house in the morning but in the afternoon Jack took Sam out baby shopping. He knew it was early still to be getting clothes etc. but he couldn't help it. He was so excited at the chance to have a child again. Sam was worn out after they came home and was happy to just lie in Jack's arms knowing he would be gone tomorrow.

Jack really didn't want to leave when Monday came, but he knew he had to. They had said a teary goodbye. Sam had been called back to the SGC, Teal'c had arrived and was requesting her. The flight back had seemed longer than on the way there, and Jack's thoughts were on Sam the whole time.

TBC.
