A/N: Sorry it's been a few days, on a staycation, and things seem to be piling up. On the plus side, we had an electrician today. I never thought I would be excited about new outlets. Thanks for the reviews and follows. I love hearing from all of you. This is short and fluffy.
October had passed, and November was almost over. SG-11 and SG-1 hadn't had much of a break in weeks. There was a mission after a Russian team went missing, the gate malfunctioned. It was theorized that the Russian team could have been stranded at several different planets. Sam and Jack knew from experience the team could have moved away from the gate for an unknown reason, so it was all hands on deck trying to find the team gone missing. Every 3 days SG1 and 11 got a break just enough to go home, sleep has a real meal or two, and head back out. Finally, on there last day of searching, SG 6 and 15 brought the team home, hungry and cold but otherwise fine. They explained the gate had an energy spike that burnt the DHD crystals out. Luckily the team could quickly fix it with the equipment they had on hand.
With no significant looming threats, gate travel had been suspended for everyone to a much-needed break for the next week. Sg-1 and 11 would be back at it first thing Monday morning going to a planet that had a high gold content.
Sam and Jack had been staying between his place and hers while searching for the missing Russian team. Jack wanted to at least check Elliott hadn't burnt the place down, and every time he came back, it put him more at ease. Elliott had sorted the mail, kept the dishes clean. The house was clean. He made a grocery list. Elliott had washed his own clothes and wrote down that he "owed Jack $20 after a girl scout knocked on the door selling cookies.
Thanksgiving was coming upon them, and sometimes they worked, sometimes they didn't, but now everyone was together. Jack had invited Sg-1 and SG-11, also extending the invite to Michelle's husband. Michelle declined to state they were going back to Minnesota to see family. Robert had agreed, giving an excuse not to have one of his siblings beg for his attention. Daniel and Teal'c decided as well as Sam. Sam had promised Mark baring any emergencies, she would be there the day after Christmas and staying for a few days. Thanksgiving wasn't even spoken of. Janet and Cassie would be there as well. The table would be overly full, but Jack wouldn't want it any other way.
Sam and Jack had a ton of paperwork that had gone undone, and as commanding officers, it had to be finished before they left on their week-long semi leave. They weren't going through the gate but were expected to be in the SGC for a little bit of time. Papers were due Monday morning, and Sam encouraged Jack to come to her lab at 4 pm to finish the paperwork together. Sam looked at the stack of unsigned documents Jack had brought and shown a similar pile of her own.
"Makes you wish you could go back to a simpler time," Jack claimed.
"No, I kind of enjoy it," Sam said.
Jack looked at her like she had three heads.
"That means I have more time with you," Sam claimed and pulled a chair allowing him to share her desk.
The two of them talked about the upcoming week. Sam agreed to stay with him most of the week but admitted she had to go home and get some stuff done around her house as well.
The two finally got done 3 hours later. Sam checked to make sure Michelle and Daniel were gone for the night. Michelle had left, but Daniel was still working, and Sam roped him into finishing up and taking the elevator topside with her and Jack.
Sam and Jack walked through the door. Elliott was sitting on the couch, doing homework.
"What are you up to?" Sam asked.
"Studying for midterms," Elliott claimed
"Ouch, don't you have another month?" Sam asked.
"No, the school board changed it. Apparently, there have been too many snow days the last few years, and instead of breaking up semesters with winter break, Midterms are next week, then the new semester starts the first week of December.
"So, they expect you right after Thanksgiving to come to take a bunch of tests?" Jack asked,
"Yes, the only good thing about it is they are only making us do 2 a day, and Friday is makeup if you missed a day, so after you're done with the tests, you can come home," Elliott claimed.
"Well, bring Cass home with you then; we'll be home early this week but, Janet won't be. Unless you picked up hours at work." Jack explained.
" I have to work Black Friday, of course, but I'm only working Tuesday 4-8 and Friday I have to be in at 6 am and work until 2." Elliott claimed.
"How many hours have you been working for a week?" Jack asked,
"Not a lot with Soccer, mainly just the weekends 10 hours. Some times 14 hours if we have a break from practice.
"Good, I want you to focus on school, and this is your last semester. Don't slack off. Are you doing track come spring?" Jack asked.
"Yeah, but I am dropping hurtles, I wasn't good at it, but I was one of the only guys who did them. There are a few freshmen who are really good and have better chances than I do. I want to focus on my sprint times and get them down," Elliott explained.
"You hear that Sam, sprint times," Jack claimed.
"Well, I know I can beat you, sir." Sam flung out there, but I'm past my prime Elliott could race circles around me." Sam stated.
"Please, I saw you with the new recruit, he had to be 20, and you beat him good," Jack stated.
"Jack, that kid let me have a head start. I watched him," Sam claimed.
"You do a long-distance?" Sam asked.
"No, anything past 500 meters, and I look like a turtle." Elliott laughed.
"See you got an edge," Jack stated.
Sam shook her head and walked out of the living room into the kitchen to find leftovers Elliott made.
She took a fork to the bowl and ate the contents of the casserole cold, and it was terrific.
"You sure you don't want to take up the culinary school?" Sam asked from the kitchen.
"I would like to learn more, but I don't want it to be a job," Elliott claimed.
"Well, you could always just pick up a class at Springs Community. They do stuff like that in the Summer," Sam claimed.
Elliott nodded his head at the idea.
"I'll think about it," Elliott stated.
After Elliott is done studying, he heads up to his room; it's still early.
"You know you're welcome down here, you don't have to lock yourself in your room just because we're home," Jack claimed.
"I know that I just have some other stuff I need to get done, and it will be easier. I'll see you in the morning." Elliott claimed.
"Good night," Sam stated.
Sam and Jack cuddle on the couch; they found the Wizard of OZ playing and kept it on the screen.
Sam wished that life could be like this, and they could choose if and when they went through the gate, but she knew that's not how it was going to be.
She enjoyed being close to him; she cuddled up, wishing they had more time to relax like this.
A commercial came on, and Sam ran her fingers up Jack's side. They didn't get this kind of time alone, and when they did, they had been exhausted to do much more than kiss each other goodnight. If Sam remembered correctly, the last time she saw him naked was last week, and that was just because they were running late to get back to base, and Jack jumped out of the shower as she was ready to get in.
Jack smiled at Sam.
"I miss being able to do this," Sam claimed.
"You can do this anytime you want," Jack stated.
"Doing it and not falling asleep is key." Sam smiled.
"True, I've been exhausted," Jack admitted.
"I'm not blaming you. I have been too. Why don't you think I've been trying to get you naked?" Sam asked.
"To tired to think about it," Jack admitted.
"Are you too tired right now?" Sam asked.
"Nope!" Jack said, popping the p.
He flicked the TV off but didn't move, and Sam pushed her hands under his shirt.
"Maybe we should take this to your room?" Sam claimed.
"Sam, It's our room now, and we can go anytime you want," Jack stated.
Sam had heard Jack call it "our room." but until now, Sam had never thought of that way.
She smiled at him a lead him to their room.
It was still early, but they still felt the drain of continually being on the move. Sam and Jack were lazily touching, moving to each other's movements, trying to be quiet because Elliott was one door over. Luckily there was more space between the master bedroom and Elliott's and Cassie's because if not, he would hear every soft moan and growl.
Both Sam and Jack were a little rough, Jack grabbed at Sam's hips, and she pushed them down on to his. He flipped her quick and was on top of her pinning her the bed and pushing into her fast. Sam wasn't used to this side of him, his eyes were black with lust, and he bit down a bit forcefully on her shoulder, and it wasn't that she didn't like it but was surprised by it and when she missed a beat with him he instantly stopped.
"I don't know what I was thinking, Jesus Sam, I'm so sorry, looking at the mark.
"Jack, were you enjoying yourself?" Sam asked.
"Huh?" Jack asked.
"Were you enjoying yourself?" Sam asked.
"That's not the point!" Jack said loudly.
"Jack, you surprised me. It didn't hurt. I liked it, please." Sam breathed.
Jack looked at her.
"Sam…" Jack claimed.
"It's fine, Jack. I'm fine, if that's what you want, I'm yours." Sam claimed.
Jack searched her eyes again and nodded.
It took him a few minutes to get back into it but soon enough, he was full force back at it, nipping and sucking, moving down to her breasts and Sam was sighing and meeting knocking hip bones every once in a while, but the sensation was overwhelming, and she wasn't going to stop him.
He went over the edge first in a fog and almost screamed out, before Sam shushed him, he bit his lip hard, and Sam continued to meet him in the middle constricting around him until he stopped rocking into her. She gave him a reassuring smiled.
"You didn't…" Jack started to say.
"I figured you'd take care of that for me," Sam claimed. Jack smiled once again and continued touching her body until her climax came and toes curled, and she finally had to verbalize for him to stop.
Jack smiled at her, and they lay there for a while before Sam stretches and asks for him to join her in the shower.
Jack can't resist the offer and follows after her.
