Chapter 3
On Friday night, John called Sam to let her know that the hard drive had arrived.
"Ok, well I'll be around on Sunday afternoon if that is ok with you."
"Sure, what about Jack?"
"He's working this weekend."
"Ok, well see you on Sunday then Sam."
"Ok, I'll let Jack know so he could beam over for dinner."
"Ok, tell him dinner is at seven."
"I will," then they hung up.
Sam carried on working for another half an hour when Jack walked into her lab.
"Hey, it's knock off time."
"What, already, wow," when she looked at her watch.
"Yeah, so come on, Daniel and Teal'c are meeting us at O'Malley's in an hour for dinner."
"Ok, just let me save this."
Sam typed away on her laptop, then saved it before shutting it down, then she stood up and walked over to where the other equipment was and shut them down before they walk out of her lab.
They talked till they reached the men's changing rooms where he gave her a kiss before she walked next door to the women's changing rooms where she got changed. They both met at the elevators before leaving together for the night.
Jack drove into town to the dry cleaners so Sam could pick up her dress blues before they closed. While she was getting them, Jack was looking at a jeweller's shop next door; he was looking at the rings that they had on display.
"Hey, what are you looking at?"
Sam walked over and stood next to him.
"Just looking," he looked at her and smiled when she was looking at the rings.
"Nice rings."
"Yeah, is there any you like?"
"Yes, that one, the fifth one."
"The one with the gold band?"
"Yeah, I know it's big and all, but I like it."
Then her phone rang so she answered it while Jack walked into the jewellers.
"Carter," while Sam was on the phone, Jack went to find out the price of the ring.
"Hello, can I help your sir?"
"Yeah, I know you will be closing in a few minutes, but there's a ring in the window, and I want to find out how much it is."
"Sure sir, which one?" they walked over and the guy unlocked the back of the wall case then he stepped back.
"Which one, sir?" Jack stepped forward and saw Sam had her back to him still talking, he saw the ring and picked up the box to showed the guy.
"This one," the guy looked underneath it.
"Three carat radiant cut diamond set in 18ct yellow gold band, the price sir, is thirty five thousand dollars."
"Thirty five thousand," he looked over at Sam, then to the ring and smiled.
"I'll take it, but can you do something for me?"
"Sure, what is it?"
"Well, put the ring back in the window till we are gone, then you can put is aside, I'll pay for it now." The guy smiled as he looked out the window to look at Sam, then back to Jack.
"Sure, would you like to look at wedding rings?"
"Later, can you put a inscription in the ring?"
"Of course sir."
The guy put the ring back, then they walked over to the counter. Jack gave the guy his credit card and then he filled out some forms. Once everything was done:
"What would you like to put on the ring sir?"
"Always and this" Jack draw Earth's point of origin, then passed it back to the guy.
"Sure, no problem, it will be ready by Monday."
"Thanks."
Then Jack walked out of the shop happy. He walked over to where Sam was, she had just closed the phone.
"Hey, everything alright?"
"Yeah, that was Dr. Lee, he was trying to find one of my reports on one of the devices I was working on a couple of weeks ago."
"AH," they both got into the truck after Sam put her dress blues in the back seat before getting in.
Then he droved them to O'Malley's where Daniel and Teal'c were waiting for them. The four of them spent the next four hours talking, eating, drinking and playing pool for the evening before they went their septate ways.
On Saturday while Jack was at work, Sam cleaned his house and washed their clothes. Since it was a warm fine day outside, she decided to hang the washing out. She did some gardening and had some lunch before bringing in the clothes, towels and sheets.
Once they were put away, she went into town to do some shopping and buy some groceries and beer before returning back to Jack's place and got some dinner on. When Jack arrived home, he opened the door and smiled when Sam walked up to him and gave him a kiss and hug.
"How was your day?"
"Good, yours?"
"Busy, dinner's almost ready and here is your beer," she passed him a cold beer.
"Thanks Sam," he pulled her to him and they both kissed.
"Whatever it is, it smells great."
"That's good to know."
She gave him a kiss before turning around and walking into the kitchen. Jack followed her and sat down at the breakfast bar while they talked and she was sorting out their dinner. They both sat at the dinning room table to eat while talking.
After dinner and the dishes were done, they went to bed and watched some TV for an hour before turning it off and the lights, then they made love before snuggling into one another arms for the night and fell asleep with smiles on their faces.
The next day Jack went to work while Sam checked her e-mails and played a couple of games. She also watched some TV, had some lunch and caught up with her mail.
She beamed herself to John and Jackie's just after three with her computer tools. She was beamed into the dinning room where they were finishing their lunch.
"Hi, sorry for interrupting your lunch."
"That's ok, how are you?"
"Good thanks, yourselves?"
"Good, how's Jack?"
"Being his normal cheeky self," they laughed just as they stood up and pick up their lunch dishes.
"How long will it take to put the drive in Sam?"
"Don't know till I look at it."
"Ok." Sam followed John into the office and showed Sam the hard drive. She looked at it.
"Ok, I might as well get started then."
Sam started working on the computer. John watched her, seeing what she was doing which made Sam smile.
"Sam, what are you smiling at?"
"Oh, it's just that you remind me of Jack, he likes to watch me work on alien devices, if not that, it's something else."
"Ah." They talked for the next half hour while Sam put in his new hard drive. Once in, she configured it and checked to see if everything was ok when she booted the computer up. When everything checked out, she did a virus update check.
When it came back clear, she was please, then she started moving things over to his 'D' drive and got everything sorted and set up for him. That took another two hours.
When done, she rebooted his computer and smiled when everything checked out. She put his computer back together, then she turned to John and smiled.
"All done."
"Thanks Sam."
"No problems, now that I got it all done and things are put into files for you and Jackie, things well be a lot easier for you now."
"Thanks."
"Do you need to use it?"
"Yes, I just need to check my mail," they stood up.
"Ok, I'll go and talk to Jackie for a while."
"Ok Sam."
Sam walked out of the office and went to see Jackie who was in the kitchen getting dinner sorted out.
"Need any help?" Sam walked up beside her.
"No thanks dear, almost finished… fix the computer?"
"Yep, the new hard drive is in and everything is sorted out."
"Ok thanks, what if I want to send a photo, where would it be?" Sam smiled.
"Well, for example you want to send a photo of Jack and me to relatives, well just look under "Jack" folder. It's the same with the others including your grandkids."
"Ah, thanks, I'll have to have a look later, what's John doing?"
"Checking his mail."
"Ok, there, everything is all done, would you like a cup of coffee, dear?"
"Yes thanks."
They talked for the next hour when John walked into the dining room and saw Jackie and Sam talking and laughing.
"Hey, what's so funny?"
"Oh Sam was telling me about few missions that SG1 went on and what happen to them, well to Jack."
"Ah," he made himself a cup of coffee before joining them.
They talked and laughed for the next alf hour when there was a bright light. They all turned and smiled. Sam got up and walked over to Jack to give him a hug and kiss.
"How was your day?"
"Boring, how was yours?"
"Good, I fixed your Dad's computer."
"Cool."
Then they walked over to the dinning room table where he gave his Mom a hug and shook his father's hand before sitting down.
"Sam's been telling us about some of the missions you've been on," John said.
"Oh, like which ones?"
"PYX343 four years ago."
"Which one was that?"
"The one where we saved a village, had a party, and you and Daniel got drunk."
"Sam, I don't remember."
"Well, it's the one where you made a speech in front of everyone and you preposed to me since there were several men who were eyeing me and I had no choice at that time but to say yes."
"Oh… that one," Sam grinned.
"Yes, and Teal'c taped it and when we had the briefing two days later, it showed you both drunk and the speech."
"Yeah, well, George sure wasn't happy about that, but I could tell he saw the funny side to it."
"I know." They talk for a few minutes before Sam went to help Jackie with dinner.
"So Son, when are you going to pop the question with out being drunk?"
"Dad."
"Son, I know you too well."
"Well, first of all is a ring, and then the right time."
"What sort did you get her," Jack looked at him.
"Well?"
"Three carat radiant cut diamond on 18ct yellow gold band."
"Wow, that must have set you back a bit?"
"Dad, I used some of my inheritance money to buy it, she's worth it Dad."
"Can I look at the ring?"
"It's still in the shop being engraved."
"Oh well, next time then."
"Ok."
They talked for few minutes before Sam and Jackie walked back over to them with plates in hand, then Sam went and got the knifes and forks while Jackie got a bottle of wine out to go with their dinner.
They all talked and laughed during dinner and dessert. Afterwards, Sam helped Jackie with the cleaning up then made them all a cup of coffee afterwards, then they both took them into the living room where John and Jack were. They talked for the next three hours before Jack and Sam were beamed back to his house for the night.
