A/N: A lot more people answered my question than I thought would answer it, so here's the epilogue! It's not like the first chapter at all, it's just something happy and fluffy I wrote cause I really, really wish Sam and Jack had actually canonically gotten together and I made myself sad writing the first chapter. And sorry if Vala and Cam are a little OOC, it's been a while since I watched their seasons (I'm binging SG-1 now, but I'm still on season 8. So close.).
The next few years took things from them. They stole Sam's dad. They stole Jack from SG-1, stranding him at the SGC when things went wrong off-world. They even stole Jack from the SGC, but that was partially his choice so he and Sam could finally be together. And then they stole Sam from Earth, sending her to a whole different galaxy.
But when she returned?
Time finally, finally blessed them. That child they had admitted to wanting all those years ago in a dark cave, finally came to fruition – with a twin. Daniel and Teal'c were the first visitors, still scuffed from off-world trouble, but beaming as their gaze fell upon their friends cradling the precious bundles.
"What are you going to name them?" Daniel asked, putting his balloons in the corner before approaching the couple.
"Well," Sam began, offering him the little girl in her arms, "I was thinking… would Sha're be ok?"
Daniel took her into his arms, a different kind of smile spreading across his face as memories swam in his eyes. "I think it's perfect."
"And this little one is Jacob," Jack announced, smiling softly at Sam.
Teal'c dipped his head. "Worthy names for worthy children."
"Glad you approve, T," Jack half-joked.
Cam and Vala jogged in then, their own gazes lighting up as they saw the little family. Vala went to Daniel's side, cooing at the newborn in his arms. Daniel explained her name in a whisper, and Vala wrapped them both in a hug.
Sam cleared her throat. "I hope you two remember whose baby she actually is."
"Ah, yes, of course," Daniel mumbled, quickly handing her back to Sam.
Cam, Teal'c, and Jack were having a far less romantic moment, but as they admired the newborn boy, Sam had never seen them look softer or more in love – especially Jack. He swayed gently, rocking Jacob to sleep, humming the same lullaby he'd sang at the cave - something Daniel still didn't know about.
"Daniel, Vala," he broached.
They both looked at him. "Yes?"
"If you were the godparents, you could steal Sha're on a regular basis."
Daniel and Vala grinned, joining their hands. "We'd love to," they answered in unison.
"Aw, cute," Cam teased. Even Teal'c laughed as the newer couple flushed and stammered in response.
And years later, that lakeside scene Sam had once hardly dared imagine came true. It wasn't exactly the same – Cam stood with Jack and Sha're on that dock, while Vala sat with Daniel and Jacob, with their own toddler George on her lap and slapping at the book's pages. Teal'c was still the only one who thought to bring food, though.
Different though it might be, it was the most perfect scene Sam could ever imagine.
A/N: So, yeah, that was a self-indulgent piece of fluff...
Someone suggested I make this fic a series of one-shots about stolen moments, and I think I might just do that if any more ideas come to me. If I do add more chapters, I think I'll just push this epilogue to the back so as not to break the flow of mutual pining.
