AN: This one is set after Sam is reassigned to Groom Lake but before she actually leaves.

"Anything, just call me, okay?" – Episode 9

Sam looked around her apartment. Lots of her stuff was in Jack's garage. Including their bikes. It was only a year and a half assignment and then hopefully she'd be back in Colorado or possibly in DC with Jack. A security company was watching the house due to his reassignment and they had rented out her bungalow. They agreed it would be best to keep both houses for now to avoid tempting fate and it would generate a small amount of liquid cash for Sam if Cassie needed money.

The apartment was pretty sparse. She had her plants and photos and a couch and a TV. She didn't have much else though she had a couple of tubs with yarn and needles in her tiny office in case she was bored and needed to relax. She'd almost punched Jack once for telling her to do some knitting because of her stress level but he hadn't technically been wrong. Just rude.

"Daniel Jackson and I will return the truck Samantha." Teal'c told her as he hugged her tightly.

"Thanks Teal'c." She told the big man. He'd arguably done most of the heavy lifting for her.

"Good luck Sam. Tell Cass we said hi." Daniel said as he hugged her.

"I will Daniel." Cassie's school was only a couple hours away. Sam would be able to spend her days off with her goddaughter making sure she was hanging in there. The last couple of years without Janet had been difficult for her and it had been a solid secondary reason for Sam's move to Nevada.

"Daniel Jackson, it is time to go." Teal'c admonished the blond man. He gave Jack a glance then Daniel a pointed look.

"Oh… oh right. Sorry. Yah, we should get the truck to the yard before they close for the night so you don't have to pay for another twenty four hours." Daniel said agreeably.

Sam gave him an amused little smirk and kissed his cheek. "Thank you guys. You were great."

Teal'c hustled Daniel out the door, leaving Sam and Jack silently regarding each other.

"So…" Jack said.

Sam smiled shyly at him. "I wish you didn't have to be back at the base tomorrow." She admitted.

"Me too. It might have been nice to spend a couple days alone together." They had shared a hotel room last night as Daniel had complained that he didn't want to ride eighteen solid hours from Colorado Springs to Groom Lake. Jack was pretty sure it was a set up but he wasn't going to complain.

"You ah… need anything else before I go?" He finally asked her.

Sam smiled brightly at him. "I already have what I need."

Jack's face lit up. "So you do." He agreed and drew her in for a slow kiss. "I'm already addicted to being able to do that when I want to." He admitted when they parted.

Sam grinned a little. "No more making out on team night and pretending it's because we're drunk?" She asked him almost disappointed.

"No we'll still make out when we're drunk." He said chuckling. "Probably some other times too." He told her with an amused wink.

Sam gave him a delighted smile. "I'll see you in a couple weeks?"

"Of course." His fingers trailed along her cheek. "Undomesticated equines Carter." He said softly before kissing her again. The kiss was slow and tender and filled with promise.

When he drew away he kissed her forehead gently. "I should go." He told her. Mostly because if he stays much longer he's going to draw her to the bedroom and it would be a very long time before he got on the road.

"All right." She said softly.

"You'll call?"

"For?" She teased him.

"Anything, just call me, ok?"

"Anything at all." She agreed with a sad smile.

His eyes went soft. "I love you Sam."

She leaned up and gives him a quick kiss. "I love you too Jack."

He grins a little and closes the door behind him.

She watches him leave the building from her balcony. She giggles a little because he's whistling the theme song from Wormhole X-treme!
