Storms

By atlantisbabe34


Jack heard the flicking of a light switch in the house. He opened his eyes to find light streaming in gap of the half closed door. Footsteps could be heard on the wood floor. Jack looks over at Sam was still asleep. The footsteps had stopped and more light streamed into the room as the door was pushed open. Jack lifted his head and squinted against he bright light to look at the small figure.

"Mia?" He whispered. "What are you doing up sweetie? It's..." Jack looked at he clock on the bed side table. "It's 2:30 honey." Jack sad fully sitting up, the covers falling from his shoulders to fool at his waist. He rubbed his hands over his face and through his hair.

"C'mere sweetie." He whispered. Mia walked over to the edge of the bed and Jack lifted her into his lap. Mia Sniffed and snuggled closer to him.

"Honey, what's wrong?"

"The storm is scary Daddy." She said and moved closer. Jack rubbed his hands over her little back and kissed the top of her head.

"Honey Storms can't hurt you. They may sound scary, but they won't hurt you. I promise."

"Can I sleeps with you Daddy? Plwease?" Mia asked looking up at him.

"Course you can!" Jack said. Mia moved off his lap and into the middle of the bed. Jack pulled the covers up over him and Mia and soon they were fast asleep.


Sam awoke with a start at a crash of thunder hit right above their house.

"Jumpy much?" Came the whispered voice of her husband.

"Yeah, scared the hell outta me." She turned to face Jack and the light that was stills streaming in through the door and noticed Mia was asleep in between them.

"Everything Ok?" She asked as she stroked Mia's hair.

"Yeah just afraid of the storm. I'm surprised Kayden hasn't woken yet." As on cue the whimpering voice of Kayden came through the baby monitor. Sam turned to look at Jack as she turned the monitor down.

"You just jinxed it." Sam said throwing the covers of her side and getting out of the bed.

"Sorry honey!" Jack said to her retreating back as she left the bedroom.


Sam walked into Kayden's room and found him sitting up in his cot, Dummy in his mouth and a tear stained face.

"Oh Honey." Sam said as she lowered the side of the cot and lifted him out. His arms went around her neck automatically.

"Are you scared of the storm?"

"Loud!" Kayden said as he covered his ears with his hands.

"I Know honey, but it's not going to hurt you." Sam said as she picked up his favourite teddy bear and leave the room. She walked down the hallway back to the main bedroom turning off the hall light as she went. She reached the bed and placed Kayden next to Mia in the middle.

"Been a while since we had one of these nights." Jack commented it the darkness. He reached over the head's of their children to entwine his fingers with her. He looked down in the semi darkness to the heads of his sleeping family. He wouldn't have had it any other way. He smiled and settled down to sleep his fingers still Entwined with Sam's.


Ahhh.. Hope all the Sam/jack Shippers had an Awesome Ship day!:D
