CH10 Jack and Sam have a conversation. Flash backs are bolded.
Ok Sam this shouldn't be hard I mean you're sitting here on a Cargo Ship with your wait Dad, Daniel and Teal'c, Damn really don't wanna start a conversation all of them here, but I need no scratch that have to tell him how I feel. "So, Miss me.? Sir" Dumb question Sam but damn how else would I start this, so yeah remember when I said we should leave this 'in the room'… yeah that would not be good and he might not be able to understand from the coldness he is feeling right now.
Dammit Carter, why does she have start out with a do you miss me bull Jack thought, "I do miss you, more then you know." Ok it's still very cold here.
Shit he's shaking cold. Why aren't the fluids helping him with the heat and the blankets this should working. "I'm going to see, if dad finishing up with the soup he's making for you. Sir"
Not completely looking directly at her. He's wondering what to say. No don't go. Not yet; you're helping me warm up. Jack thought to himself but says this instead "Wait don't, he'll bring it in when he's done making it." Ok I got her attention. Now what? "How much sleep have you gotten in the past few days?" she looks like hell, I had to ask.
Ok I must look terrible he's asking how much sleep I've gotten, I could flat out lie. "I got enough, what about you? Sir" nice one Sam turn it back on him.
She's so lying to me I hate it when she doesn't get sleep or eat. Jack thought to himself "Liar, Carter I know you. When a member of the SGC goes missing you'll do anything in your power to get them back. Hammond will make you sleep. But when it comes to SG-1 he knows that you'll ignore his orders of sleeping."
He was right about one thing he knows me all too well. Sam thought "ok you got me. When this started all I thought was getting you and Teal'c back alive home and safe. Sir" That was half-truth there; she wanted Jack home period; no ands ifs and buts about it. As for Teal'c, she wasn't worried about him; it was Jack she was more worry about.
Jack knew that she was telling the half-ass-truth there but the look in her eyes says something else. She rather gets me home safe then Teal'c. And he knew it too. The fact is if it was her out here for three days he would go ballistic too. "Yeah 'I know.'" Thinking of something else to say. "Thank you for getting us out of that. We should have known that there was a recall device on something like the death gliders. Sorry for keep you up all night and day." He wasn't lying when he said sorry too.
She couldn't believe that he said sorry, sorry for what? Sam thought like it was Apophis fault mostly ours but that doesn't matter. "All I thought about was getting you home safe. It's not our faults in fact I'm thinking about blaming the Tok'ra for not giving us that information. I don't know if you remember but I sorta of lost my temper back there. Sir" "Dammit Colonel I haven't come all this FUCKEN way to take you home in a DAMN BOX! Now WAKE THE FUCK UP!" whoa I did let my emotion get the best of me.
Jack starts to remember what she started to say, and shockingly he does remember "I know I heard you, although it wasn't you that woke me up; I still heard you." He starts remembering the Cargo ship nudging the X-30. "As for blaming the Tok'ra; well don't, I blame Apophis." And he does. Note to self; Jack: next time you run into Apophis make sure he's officially dead.
Sam starts to think about ways to kill Apophis for almost killing Jack and Teal'c. "Well I do blame both the Tok'ra and Apophis." This isn't the first time that the Tok'ra played with our lives. Sir." She starts thinking back to the Zatarc testing when he said "I care about her, more than I'm supposed to."
He knows exactly what she's talking about, it's the whole Arm Band thing where their trapped on opposite side of the force shield, not really confessing anything verbally but knowing exactly how they feel about each other. Then there was when Anise told them both that their Zatarc's. Flashes back to where Anise had the nerve to make a move on him. Jack knew Sam wasn't happy when she found out about that but he had to tell her. No secrets right? Well the one where they still can't verbally or physically say anything about what they truly feel for each other. Ok Jack, say something already. "Yeah I know and remember everything. And… Well I don't think I can keep 'it in the room' anymore Sam." As he is looking at her directly into her baby blue eyes.
Did he just say he doesn't want to keep 'it in the room' and wait he said my first name, as Sam thought to herself. "So you don't want to keep 'it in the room'? Sir." she had to make sure she heard correctly. Searching into his eyes trying to figure out where he was going with this.
"Yeah I don't Sam. I love you to damn much now not to keep it 'in the room.'" Good one Jack continues to use her first name. Still looking directly into her eyes, not letting go of the gaze.
Ok I heard him correctly he said he loves me better say something back Sam "I don't want to keep it in the room too Jack. I love you. But-."
Jack leans in for a kiss, to shut her up right there. He didn't want her to finish saying but what about the Regs… He can't believe she's kissing him back. Putting his hands around her neck pulling her even closer than normal; she responds by putting her hands around his neck playing with his hair. Not coming up for air, not really caring if there's an audience or not.
Whoa he's kissing me actually kissing me; wait is this a dream or alternate reality. Nope not a dream or an alternate reality it's real. He's really kissing me, and I'm kissing him back. I wonder what everyone else is. I hope they're not watching this. Ok Jack I think I'm going to pull up for some air. Yeah I forgot about air. "Damn".
Shit she just said Damn Jack. Stop. "Sorry didn't mean to do that."
Damn I did say damn, what we're you thinking Sam. "No sorry I was caught off guard there but, I mean I didn't realize you were that good of a kisser." Just when she said that Jack leans in to continue. Sam start to moan, and Jack deepens the kiss; both exploring their bodies. When they hear…
"Um, Um…"
