Just wanted to say that the song to go with this story would be Because you loved me by Celine Dion- SirenLunaCross you better be having a happy fit. Forget the whole question thing- I just was trying to make sure that people were reading this because it is really important stuff and just ended up sounding horrid. Also wanted to say I feel so awesome because I have a space telescope now in my room which is really old and doesn't work that well, but I like looking through it and pretending to be Jack in the first episode – plus I can spy on the neighbours

Finally we get down to proper romance. Helen, Emma, your not allowed to read this because I will get really embarrassed next time I see you because I know you think I don't have a romantic side considering I don't like people getting together in programmes etc (with the one of exception of Jack and Sam).

This is dedicated to all the people who know in their hearts that Jack and Sam were just meant to be together…

Chapter 11: Shooting Star

That night I took Sam home with the rest of the guys and cracked open a bottle of Champagne to celebrate the end of the Goa'uld. That was it, finally it was all over. All those years of fighting had come to an end, and it was all because of Sam. Her amazing plan that had saved us and killed Ba'al. God knows how she did it, especially not being able to see, but she shoot him right in the chest, even though that was meant to be my job, but then again nothing ever goes to plan and everything turned out alright eventually. While the rest of the guys hugged and congratulated her on her bravery, brains and shocker instincts, I just admired her from afar, beaming at her so proud of everything she had done. Her guide dog, Shadow, came bounding up to me wanting a fuss which I granted, either that or he needed to pee, and after deciding against trying to get him to piss all over Jonas, I let him out thankful for the escape and inhaled the night air before wandering over to my favourite spot by my pond and thought everything through about Sam, starting to doubt whether I had made the right choice breaking up with her, I still loved her so very much, I thought I might have been able to let go over all this time but I never could, instead it just kept getting harder….

A while later, I heard Sam calling my name, I don't know how long I had been zoned out but everyone had left and it was just us outside in the night. Looking up at the stars I noticed that it was a beautiful night. Taking Sam's hand I lead her up the ladder near my house and onto my roof and explained to her where we were.

"Oh, I've always wanted to come to the O'Neill secret hideout" she said smiling. I took her hand and lead her to a hammock (a new addition) near my telescope and I sat down. Pulling her next to me, we laid down side by side with my arm around her waist.

"It's a beautiful night" I explained to her.

"What's it like?" she asked, probably preparing to paint the picture in her mind. And so I explained about the stars and the constellations, as well as the moon until finally she was finished

"Your right, it is beautiful"

"This is where I was when they called me back to the Stargate program" I thought out loud. "I've not really been up here that much since then, so much is different know. I wish I could go back and do it all again but in a different way" I saw the confusion in Sam's face but decided against explaining what I meant about wishing I had found a way of being involved in the program and still being with her.

"Jack? Can I ask you a question?"

"Sure"

"Don't take this the wrong way but why have you been alone all this time?" I thought about the question not sure what to tell her or how to answer, I didn't know how to tell her I could never love anyone other than her.

"Perhaps for the same reasons you were" I replied hoping she would drop the topic.

"What, every boyfriend you've ever had has died?"

"No" I said smiling "firstly because I've never had a boyfriend, although at one point I was scared that Daniel was gonna ask me out, because until he married Shar'ray, I honestly thought he was…" I paused hoping she would catch on, although she just looked confused. "Never mind. And secondly that isn't true because Pete never died, well it was a close one which that shot but you cant say that all your boyfriends have died…just most of them"

"Actually, Pete shot himself a month after I called off the engagement with his police gun"

Oppps, when are you going to shut your fat gob Jack? "I'm so sorry Sam"

"It's okay. I didn't really love him anyway" I remembered that, when she came to my back yard and told me about having second thoughts of the wedding. I wonder what would have happened if Johnson hadn't of been there? I had decided then that I wanted to be with her and that I would find a way to be with her. How wrong it had all gone though…

"Jack? You've gone really quiet, is everything alright?" she asked calling me back.

"Yeah" I said looking back up at the stars and something caught my eye "Sam there's a shooting star, make a wish". We both closed our eyes and I took her hand and wished. Opening my eyes I looked at her, propping myself up on one arm so I was leaning slightly over her. "Your so brave Sam….I'm proud of you. I always have been". Slowly I reached out my other hand and stroked her face with the back of my fingers, he skin was so soft.

She smiled as she slid her hand around my neck and pulled me down so our lips could meet. She paused for the slightest of seconds, my heart racing before they met. As they touch everything just comes flooding back, the love and memories, as a spark that feels like I've just been hit by a zat-gun shots through every inch of my body. Pulling me closer she wraps her leg around me and I run my fingers through her hair, just like I used to.

I am sorry if you are offended by the gay pairing suggestion. I did it purely for SirenLunaCross who is obsessed with putting people of the same sex together in her head, and if she had of watched Stargate she definitely would have put Jack and Daniel together somehow, and probably Sam and Janet, although I never saw why people thought they could be a lesbian couple, I only saw them as friends :s… PLEASE REVIEW, EVEN IF ITS JUST ABOUT THE GAY PAIRINGS
