Sam thinks her private life is just that. Of course... it isn't...

"anyone could tell from here." – Episode 6

Jennifer plopped on Sam's couch like she lived there.

"Did you volunteer to beard the beast or did you draw the short straw?" Sam asked her, looking up from her paperwork. It was still painful to make the long walk to her office with a broken leg so she was camped out in her quarters doing paperwork.

Jen shrugged. "Technically I'm your doctor and performing a checkup."

"Unofficially?"

"I hate my job Sam. Carson was great at this and I'm just… floundering." She admitted sadly.

Sam nodded slowly. With a few more years of experience she'd be a natural but Jen had been thrust into the job due to unfortunate circumstances. "I won't say it will get easier Jen, it doesn't but as you do it, it will come more naturally to you."

Jennifer Keller sighed and put her chin in her hand. "You know you never finished our conversation earlier." She said pointedly.

"Which conversation was that?" Sam asked idly, her nose in a report.

"About your husband…"

Sam choked. "What… ah… what makes you think I'm married?" Sam tried to sound casual and failed.

Jen grinned. "John is a blabber mouth." She admitted and chuckled.

"I am going to kill him." Sam said darkly.

"Oh relax. I tricked him into telling me when he was high on pain meds after his last failed attempt at killing himself creatively." She said with a dismissive wave of her hand.

"I am still going to kill him. He better not say anything to anyone else."

"What? Why not Sam? It's not illegal to be married."

"It's a little sketchy when your husband is a joint chief and your position was recommended by the joint chiefs after Congress forced their hand."

"Oh... my god… You married Jack!" She squealed.

"Keep it down! Someone will hear you!" Sam snapped.

Jen childishly stuck her tongue out at Sam. "I wish Liz was still alive. She had a bet about when he'd finally ask."

Sam sighed.

Jen giggled. "Oh come on Sam. Anyone could tell from here how he feels about you. I'm just glad it wasn't that cop. Liz hated him."

"She never met him." Sam denied.

"She didn't have to. Daniel and Jack told her enough that she wanted to yeet him into a sun."

"Yeet?"

"Toss, throw, blast, you get what I mean. She said he was pscho and Liz was a super good judge of character."

"I know. Jack was really upset when we got the news. I'm sorry. I know how much everyone here loves her."

Jen shrugged though. "We lose people Sam. It happens… so was it a nice wedding?"

Sam chucked. "Yes it was a nice wedding and don't you dare go around blabbing about it. We had to keep things very small and private for obvious reasons. When he retires in a couple years it won't be such a problem."

"And then you can work on having another baby." She said grinning.

Sam's eyes narrowed. "How much did that idiot say while on drugs?"
