Title: If tomorrow never Comes
Author: Kate sky_fly1@hotmail.com Feedback please! I love to hear what people think!
Genre: S/J romance, and a little bit of humor. For people who might like a bit of a romantic comedy type thing. (
Summary: Jack hears a song, and his mind starts wandering....
Spoilers: a bit for Upgrades and the episode after, it's set near the end of Season Four.
OK, you know the drill, I don't own the characters, I'd be a lot richer if I did! I'm not getting any money for this, I just love writing fanfic. The song 'If Tomorrow Never Comes' is written by Ronan Keating, so he gets all the credit for the excellent lyrics. 'Straight from the heart' belongs to Brian Adams, one of my dad's favourite singers.
Author's Note: this fanfic is really experimental, I'm just seeing if anyone likes this type of thing, so can you tell me if you enjoy it? If you do, I'd love to write more, so tell me please! Much appreciated!
If Tomorrow Never Comes
Colonel Jack O'Neill wandered into his office rubbing his eyes. Not enough sleep. He grinned ruefully. How often did he say that? Sg1 had just returned from an exhausting mission on P3Q 790, setting up trade between worlds. The Colonel just wanted a hot shower an some rest.
He sat down in his chair, and without thinking, turned on the radio. He groaned. Sappy stuff he could do without this morning. He stood and reached over to turn it off but paused as he heard the words.
Cause I've lost loved ones in my life, Who never knew how much I loved them
Now I live with the regret My feelings for them Never were revealed
Charlie. Sara. His heart clenched inside of him.Resolutely he pushed those thoughts aside, and concentrated on the song drifting out of the speakers.
If tomorrow never comes, Will she know how much I love her?
He thoughts turned to his second in command. The blond major was just about the centre of his world at the moment. Independant, bright, way smarter than me, he thought to himself with a smile, as he pictured her in his mind. Tall, thin, with short golden hair framing her face and deep blue eyes, she was a beacon in the otherwise dark world. Their flirting had come to an end though when they were forced to admit their deeper feelings for each other. Anger and frustration coursed through his veins, as he thought of the events that just might have ruined their friendship forever. His feelings for Sam had been running stronger lately, and if anything happed to her..... His eyes prickled in spite of himself. Without her he was lost.
If my time has come, She will have to face The world alone
Would she ever doubt How I feel about her In my heart?
If something happened to either of them offworld, would she know how he felt inside?
So tell that someone
That you love What you're thinking of, If tomorrow never comes
The last faint notes of the song died away. He absent-mindedly switched off the radio, while inside a decision was forming. He couldn't stand it any longer. If he didn't tell her how he felt soon, he never would. But how could he? His brow drew together over his chocolate eyes, and a smile curled the corners of his mouth, as a plan came to him...

Afternoon, two days later, Sam's lab
"Hey Major," Samantha Carter glanced up from her microscope at her commanding officer and smiled at him, before looking down again, not trusting herself with those deep brown eyes. "Hi Sir." "Debriefing, you comin?" he gestured to the door. She slapped her forehead. "I completely forgot, I just so absorbed in this!" She ran her fingers through her hair distractedly. "We'd better go." The colonel headed out the door with the rushed major in tow.

"OK people, I understand there were various artifacts discovered on your mission to P3Q 790, Doctor Jackson, would you explain?" General Hammond took a seat as Daniel took his place at the head of the table. He began his speech on the artifacts they'd found. O'Neill made no effort to conceal his boredom. Archaological speeches were definatly not one of his all favourite pastimes. He doodled in his notebook, covering the page in squiggles and mess. Tapping his pen on the table, he glanced around the room. Teal'c looking as usual; like he was made out of stone, with the occasional superior lift of an eyebrow. Daniel looked breathless and excited as he told of the treasures they'd unearthed on that rock. Sam was listening to Daniel's long litany. She glanced around, and caught him looking at her, coloured slightly, and gave him a tiny smile which he returned. Finally Daniel finished his report. Hammond glanced around at them. "Dismissed." Sg1 headed for the door. The colonel turned to the others as they walked alomg the corridoor. "So what's everyone up to tonight?" Daniel furrowed his brow. "I've got a big report to get done on the artifacts we got." "Teal'c?" O'Neill glanced at the Jaffa. "I have yet to catch up on my Kil'noreem O'Neill." The colonel turned to his second-in-command. "Carter, you up for somethin?" "Ok sir." Carter headed towards her lab. "Aw come on Carter, you really need to get out......what?" He reached the door, and looked into her lab, as Daniel and Teal'c kept walking down the corridoor. "Just let me get this experiment finished and change, and we can go." She smirked at the look on his face. Jack was shocked. "This is a first Major," he tried to hold back his grin, and failed. "I've got a report to fill out, so how about we leave at 8?" "Sounds fine sir." Sam turned back to her work, as he headed out the door and down the coridoor. He was walking dazedly to his office, but not before hearing a distinctive, "Yes!" from the lab. He grinned.
***
Sam did a little victory dance around her lab, feeling very light-headed and happy. She had no idea on earth what made her accept, but she was glad she did. Unable to keep the grin off her face, she sat down at her bench. The major tried to get back to her work, but her mind was elsewhere, thinking about a certain grey haired colonel, and the coming evening for them both. Suddenly, a little thought surfaced. What about the rules of conduct? She quickly dismissed it. Tonight was just a night between friends, just friends.
