And now a continuation...

Sam woke up the next morning. She turned over and kissed Jack softly on the cheek. She tried to softly as possible to lift his arm so she could get free. Jack tightened his grip on her and pulled her closer to him.

"Morning, Love." Jack said. Sam smiled at him. Jack smiled back at her.

"Morning, Jack. I'm going to run home and shower, grab a change of clothes." Sam said. "Anything I can pick up for you?"

"Something to keep me from being bored, like a crossword or my iPod." Jack said. "Or how about both? You know how I get when I'm bored. I like to explore things." Sam scoffed when he said that, which caused Jack to laugh.

"Sure, be right back." Sam said. She rolled off the gurney and headed out to the garage. She opened the door to Jack's truck and turned it on. She drove off, taking a run down toward Colorado Springs and towards home.

Sam pulled into the garage and ran into the house. She grabbed some clothes out of her drawers next to Jack's in their dresser and walked into the bathroom. She turned the shower on and stripped down. Sam felt the water and turned up the heat some. She stepped in and took a quick shower. Five minutes later, she stepped out and got dressed. Sam dropped her uniform on the washer, grabbed a crossword and Jack's iPod from their dresser and walked into the garage. Sam started the truck, when she felt a hand on her shoulder. Knowing that it wasn't Jack, she slowly pulled the gun from door of her car without seeming to move. She pulled it up really fast and aimed it at the person.

"Who the fu-!" Sam stopped when she saw the person's face. "Pete!"

"Hi, Sam." Pete said.

"What are you doing here?" Sam asked.

"I came to see if you'll take me back."

"I'm married, Pete. I have two kids," Sam said.

"What!" Pete asked, surprised. "To who? Since when?"

"General Jack O'Neill, two years ago." Sam said. "Now leave, before I shoot you as an intruder in my home."

"Fine, I'm going." Pete said as he backed off. "You know, Sam, I'm still in love with you. I think you are still in love with me, too."

"No, Pete, I'm not." Sam said. "I love my husband. I loved him for over eight years before we were married."

"Why'd you wait?"

"Didn't have permission. Now leave, no questions asked." Sam said. Pete turned and left the house, walking down the street and around the corner. Sam sighed and started her car. She closed the garage door and drove off.

----

Sam pulled into the garage at the base and stepped out of the car. She grabbed the stuff for Jack off the seat next to her and headed toward the elevator. She pressed the button for the elevator and waited. When the doors opened, she was met by Teal'c. (If you're wondering, Jack was transferred to the SGC infirmary.)

"Do you require assistance, General O'Neill?"

"Thanks, Teal'c, but I've got it," Sam said. She smiled at him and pressed the button for Level 27. She walked out when the elevator stopped and headed down the hall toward the infirmary and towards Jack. Jack looked up when he heard the door open. "Hey, how are you?"

"Hey, yourself. I doing just peachy," Jack said. Sam instantly knew something was wrong when he said that.

"What's wrong?" she asked.

"I don't know. You tell me."

"What the hell is that supposed to mean!"

"You know what it means," Jack said as he looked at her with his "black ops" look.

"Goddammit, Jack!" Sam yelled.

Janet poked her head around the corner of the curtain.

"What's wrong?" Janet asked. Jack and Sam instantly stopped fighting and looked at her.

"It's nothing, Janet. Jack and I have to work this out between ourselves." Sam said. She turned back to Jack and sat down on the bed next to him. Janet, sensing what was coming next, decided to leave and close the door. Jack looked at her for a minute and used his free arm to pull her down on top of him. Sam cried onto his shoulder. Jack rubbed her back with his hand and pulled her up tighter against him.

"I'm sorry, Sam. I'm so sorry," Jack said. "I would never intentionally do anything to hurt you. I love you."

Sam continued to cry for another five minutes while Jack rocked her back and forth until she fell asleep. Daniel walked in shortly after Sam was out like a broken light bulb. He took one look at his "sister's" face and realized that she had been crying. He turned to Jack and mouthed,

"What happened?"

"We had a fight," Jack said and left it at that. Daniel nodded and left the infirmary. He closed the door again. Jack continued to rub her back as he watched her face to make sure she didn't start crying again. Jack kissed her lightly on the cheek and let her scoot down the bed slightly. She rested her head on his chest and continued to sleep. Jack grabbed his iPod off table next to the bed and started to fall asleep as he listened to "Princes of the Universe" by Queen. He was out the second the song was over.

Sam woke up about two hours later, around eleven-thirty. She looked at Jack and realized that he was asleep. She noticed that his iPod was still on and playing, so she reached over and turned it off. Jack was still asleep when she stood up and headed down toward the commissary. She paid for a bottle of water, a salad, and the main course. She headed over to where Teal'c, Daniel, and Janet were sitting. Everyone was looking at her because they could see that she had been crying as her cheeks were red and tear-stained. They all assumed that it had something to do with Jack or his condition and left her alone because she usually bit people's heads off if they bothered her.

"How are you?" Janet asked her. Sam just gave her a weak smile. Janet gave her an understanding look and left her alone. Sam finished eating and left the commissary, heading back down to the infirmary. Jack, who woke up while she was gone, looked up at her and beckoned her over. Sam laid back down next to him and gave him a soft kiss. Jack deepened the kiss which caused Sam to moan with pleasure.

"Easy, Jack. You're injured, remember?" Sam said after she pulled back. It was more of a statement than a question. Jack just smiled. Sam rested her head on his chest. Jack stroked her hair and rubbed her back. Sam scooted closer to him and kissed him gently under the chin. "Love you, Jack."

"I love you, too, Sam. I will always be there for you. Always. No matter what." Jack said. "Believe me."

Sam smiled at him and gave him the "look." Not the "look" she gives him when he says something stupid but the "look" she gives that tells him that she understands and loves him. The look that she has given him only twice before they were married, when she was trapped behind the Goa'uld force field and just after he was frozen in Antarctica. She giggled when Jack's hand accidentally brushed against her breast as he moved it (his hand, not her breast) to scratch an itch on his side and her chest was resting on his stomach. Jack moved his hand back and continued to rub her back. He looked up when he heard the door open and Janet walked in.

"Do you need anything, Jack?" she asked.

"No, I'm fine, Janet." Jack said. Janet nodded and left them alone. Sam smiled at Jack and turned the TV on. She changed the channel to Spike and watched "World's Wildest Police Videos." Jack looked at his watch. "You hungry?"

Sam shook her head and moved her hand in circles on his chest. Jack held her other hand and continued to run his free hand (the uninjured one) down her back. He kissed her gently on the forehead.

"Jack, that's all you're going to do?" Sam asked.

"Hey! You're the one who said I was injured and you wanted me to take it easy," Jack said. He kissed her softly again. Just then, Janet walked back in.

"You're free to go, Jack, as long as you wear a cast on that arm." Janet said. She then turned and handed him a cast. Jack groaned and slipped the cast over his arm with a little help from Sam. "I don't want to see you on base for the next two weeks. Take a vacation at the cabin. Sam, I want you to make sure that he wears that cast at all times except when he's sleeping or taking a shower."

"Sure thing, Janet, but one question," Sam said. "What about the 'other stuff'?"

"What 'other….ohhh." Janet said. Sam laughed at her best friend's expression. "Hold off until his lung heals. Oh and, Sam, I don't want you coming back without a tan. You need it."

Jack glared at Sam, which just caused her to laugh even harder. Finally, after five minutes of laughing non-stop, Sam settled down and helped Jack out of the infirmary. Sam turned at the last second.

"Janet, one request. Can you watch the kids while we're gone?"

'Sure, Sam."

She was still giggling at Jack's expression as they walked down to the garage and toward Jack's truck, which caused them to get a couple of looks from random airmen and lieutenants. Jack started to head over to the driver's side with the keys when Sam pushed him against the truck and captured his lips with her's. Finally, after she pulled away, Jack gave her a quizzical look.

"What was that for?" he asked. Sam didn't answer, just stole the keys from him and opened the driver side door. Jack sighed and headed over to the passenger side of the truck after helping her in. He fell asleep after they turned off the road the led to the mountain. Sam smiled at her husband's sleeping form, found a CD of Jack's and popped it into the CD player. Sam turned it up some and listened to the lyrics of the song.

Never made it as a wise man

Couldn't cut it as a poor man stealing

Tired of livin' like a blind man

Sick of sight without a sense of feeling

And this is how you remind me

This is how you remind me of what I really am

This is how you remind me of what I really am

It's not like you to say sorry

I was waitin' on a different story

This time I'm mistaken, for handin' you a heart worth breaking

And I've been wrong, I've been down, into the bottom of every bottle

These five words in my head scream,

Are we having fun yet?

It's not like you didn't know that,

I said I love you and I swear I still do.

And it must have been so bad,

Cause livin' with him must have damn near killed you

This is how you remind me of what I really am

This is how you remind me of what I really am

It's not like you to say sorry

I was waitin' on a different story

This time I'm mistaken, for handin' you a heart worth breaking

And I've been wrong, I've been down, into the bottom of every bottle

These five words in my head scream,

Are we having fun yet?

Never made it as a wise man

Couldn't cut it as a poor man stealing

And this is how you remind me

This is how you remind me

This is how you remind me of what I really am

This is how you remind me of what I really am

It's not like you to say sorry

I was waitin' on a different story

This time I'm mistaken, for handin' you a heart worth breaking

And I've been wrong, I've been down, into the bottom of every bottle

These five words in my head scream,

Are we having fun yet?

Are we having fun yet?(Five words in my head)

Are we having fun yet?(Five words in my head)

Are we having fun yet?(Five words in my head)

"That's one of my songs about you before we got married," Jack said with his eyes still closed. Sam nearly jumped out of her seat when he spoke. "Especially the second line of the fourth verse."

"God, Jack, you scared me," Sam said. Jack continued to sleep while Sam moved her left hand to the top of the steering wheel and held his hand with her right. "I love you."

"I love you, too," Jack said. Sam stopped talking and let him sleep. She squeezed his hand and he squeezed back. She kissed the back of his palm. Two hours later, they pulled into the garage at the cabin. Jack woke up and stretched. Sam smiled and got out. Jack followed her and headed inside, toward their room. Sam grabbed a shirt of Jack's and took off all of her clothes except for her panties, slipping into the shirt. "Did I ever tell you how hot you look in that?"

"Very funny," Sam said. Jack smiled at her and took his pants & shirt off. Jack kissed her softly. He turned the TV on and switched it to Fox. "TGIT!"

"TGIT?" Jack asked.

"Thank God It's Tuesday!" Sam yelled.

"Why?" Jack asked. Sam gave him the silliest grin.

"House is on!" Sam said. Jack shook his head and set the remote down. Sam pushed Jack down on the bed and laid down next to him under the covers. Jack lifted the covers and joined her under them. He laid an arm over her stomach. Sam twisted her neck to crack it. Jack sat her up and worked the kinks out of her neck and worked down to her back. "God, Jack! The feel's good! Where did you learn how to do that?"

"You forget. I was married before," Jack said. He instantly regretted it. "But now, that's all in the past and I have you to work my 'magic' on."

Jack smiled at her and kissed her softly on the side of her neck. Sam moaned as she felt Jack's lips on her neck and leaned closer to him. As soon as "House" was over, Jack turned the light out and pulled her down on the bed next to him. He turned her over and wrapped his legs around her's.

"Good night, Sam. I love you," Jack said.

"Good night, Honey. I love you, too," Sam said. TBC…
