Sam looked at her watch, it was 6.30. She sighed as she put the key in the door and turned it. When she walked through the door her head was surrounded with the laughing coming from the livingroom. She quietly made her way up the stairs.
Jack could hear the creaks of the stairs and he rised from where he was sitting.
"Ill be right back"
He smiled at his parents and walked out of the room. He walked upstairs and pushed the door back leading into the bedroom.
"Sam?"
Sam walked out of the bathroom.
"Hey"
She put on a weak false smile but it passed.
"It's 6.30. I didn't think you'd be back that late"
"Umm...yeah sorry. I had to go round Janet's. We were sorting out arrangements for Cassie"
"Oh"
"Sorry"
Jack looked up from where his eyes were previously fixed on the floor.
"No, its ok. You haven't missed much and your just in time for tea"
Jack smiled
"I made it with the help of that pukka guy"
Sam smiled and also eyed him curiously.
"Jamie Oliver?"
Jack walked over to Sam and wrapped his arms around her.
"Yeah, yeah, that's the guy"
"Well just give me a sec to get dressed and ill come down"
Jack kissed her on the back of the head.
"Ok"
Jack practically skipped out of their bedroom. When Sam heard Jack take his foot of the last step she collapsed onto the bed. She buried her head into the pillow.
Downstairs
"Tea is ready"
Jack stood in the kitchen door signalling for his mum and dad to come and taste.
"I hope this is a home cooked meal Jonathan?"
Jack looked at his dad who smiled sympathetically.
"Yes mum it is. Prepared by my own two hands and alot of blood and sweat"
"I should hope not son. Blood and sweat aren't good for the old stomach"
"Ha Ha, very funny dad"
He stepped out of the way for his mum and dad to enter the kitchen.
"Aren't we going to wait for Sophia?"
"SAM, will be down in a minute"
Sam walked in through the kitchen door.
"Someone say my name?"
Jack smiled, finally someone who understands me. He walked over to her.
"Mum and Dad id like you to meet Samantha Carter, the most beautiful woman in the world"
Sam blushed slightly.
"But please call me Sam"
Thomas extended his hand out.
"Tom O'neill. Its a pleasure to meet you Sam"
Sam shook his hand and smiled.
"And im Louise O'neill"
Louise didn't even bother to shake Sam's hand. Sam looked at Jack. There was a long silence.
"Maybe we should try Jack's poison...i mean food"
"Thanks dad"
"Do you want some help?"
"Baby, just sit down and relax"
Jack smiled and Sam decided to do as she was told. She sat down at the table.
"Would anyone like a drink?"
Sam couldn't stand sitting still and being stuck in silence.
"If there's a beer going free"
Sam nodded
"Louise?"
"I'll have a white wine"
Sam got up from her chair.
"I thought i told you to relax"
"Im getting drinks. Hardly a big task"
"I could of done that"
"I wanted to do it"
Jack smiled and gave in. Sam walked over to the fridge and pulled out a beer and then went and poured a wine.
"I thought you would of gone for the one Daniel gave us"
"Nah. Im gonna save it for Daniel's funeral"
Sam smiled a little.
"What's so funny?"
Jack looked at his mum and back to Sam.
"Nothing mum"
Sam walked dover to the table and placed the drinks down. She put a beer by Jack's place.
"Are you not drinking Sam?"
Tom observed Sam's orange juice.
"Umm...no. Im not feeling to great and alcohol will just make me worse"
Jack placed the meals on the table. Sam looked at hers and instantly wanted to be sick. She decided to eat it so she didn't hurt Jack's feelings.
"So Sam. What do you do for a living?"
Sam looked up from her plate.
"Im a major in the air force"
"She's also an astrophysicist. See i can go for intelligent girls"
Sam took a bite of her steak. Now it was Tom's turn to ask a question.
"How long have you been in the airforce?"
"A long time. My father encouraged me"
"I presume your related to Jacob Carter?"
Sam smiled
"Yes he's my father"
Jack finally butted in.
"Do you know him dad?"
"we met briefly"
3 hours later
Sam sat curled up on the couch and partly asleep. She felt a couple of fingers creep up her neck.
"Jack"
"Yesssss?"
"What are you doing?"
Jack jumped on the sofa.
"Nothing"
"Where's your parents?"
"They went to the movies. There's this comedy my dad wants to see"
Sam nodded
"Listen im sorry about my mum. She's just a little annoyed that i have a life"
"I like your dad. He reminds me of you"
Jack smiled.
"Sam ive got something to tell you"
"What?"
"My parents don't know that were engaged"
"Righttt"
"and i was thinking we could tell them on monday when Robert comes down"
"Robert, your brother?"
"Oh yes and that another thing he's coming to stay for a couple of days aswell"
Sam sighed.
"Jack im going to bed"
"Are you alright?"
"yeah. Just tired. I'll see you in the morning"
Sam walked upstairs and Jack turned on the tv. Ice Hockey was on.
"Ooooo bad"
Jack could hear the creaks of the stairs and he rised from where he was sitting.
"Ill be right back"
He smiled at his parents and walked out of the room. He walked upstairs and pushed the door back leading into the bedroom.
