The silence stretched like a taut diaphragm. Sam could feel her heart beating, pounding against her chest. She forced herself to take deep breaths to slow her breathing as she stared into the grey eyes of her love.
Martouf stared right back. He couldn't help it. Sam looked so hopeful, he couldn't bare it. He hated confrontations. Right now, he would be happy to take on a thousand goa'uld.
That's what I am here for. Go on say something. I dare you.'
Shut up lantash.'
You know how I feel. You feel it too. Let yourself be happy for once. She's a jewel and you know it.' Martouf listened to the silent voice urging him on.
You're right.' He answered.
He took a step towards Sam who involuntarely took one back.
She stumbled over her feet for a few moments as she regained her balance.
Sorry' she muttered, her face flushing to a very becoming shade of crimson. Martouf couldn't help but smile as he watched the usually confident and assured US.Major fall all over herself.
Young love, puppy love were words that Martouf had heard Jacob mention. They seemed fitting for this particlular moment.
Martouf took another step towards Sam and took her hands in his. Her skin was smooth like velvet.
He began. Samantha, I have feelings for you. Deep feelings but'
Martouf' Sam interrupted desperately. If you're going to break my heart do it quick.'
She looked into Martouf's eyes. He looked back in his soul-searching way. He bowed his head towards hers and whispered I have no intention of breaking your heart.'
You don't?'
No, but I need you to know that I loved Jolinar very much. More that I thought was possible.'
I understand'
I also need you to know that I believe I love you even more.'
Sam looked up so quickly that she bashed her head against Martouf's chin hard.
Ow!' They exclaimed. Sam bit her lip in despair as she watched Martouf wince as he rubbed his chin.
I am so sorry, I'm not destined to be good in romantic situations. I suck.'
Martouf smiled through the pain. I take it that you did that more because you were happy than shocked and repulsed.'
Sam smiled. Yes' She stepped towards him and took his head in her hands. I am very happy.'
I love you Samantha Carter.'
I love you too.' Sam brushed her lips against his chin before capturing his mouth in a deep kiss.
About time'
Shut up Lantash'
Excuse me, I said nothing.'
Martouf and Sam broke off their kiss to look up and see the smiling face of Jacob Carter beaming down at them.
Ah sorry to interrupt.' The couple smiled sheepishly.
Again I say about time!' Jacob crossed the short distance between them and enveloped his daughter in a bear hug.
I'm happy for you baby girl.' He whispered in her ear.
Thanks Dad.' He broke off the embrace and turned to Martouf. He held out his hand to Martouf's and shook it briskly.
Nice going' he said before turning and leaving the room.
Oh by the way, we're almost home.'
Thanks.' Sam turned again to her love.
Now where were we?'
Later.
You guys ready to transport down.'
Sure dad and could you stop with the goofy grin?'
What? Martouf has one too.'
I don't mind his.'
Uh huh, just stand in the ring.' Sam joined Martouf took the hand he held out.
You ready?'
Yes'
Transporting now.'
A flash of light later and Sam felt the solid ground of the Tok'ra head quarters beneath her feet.
I better get to the briefing. I'll tell the rest that you'll be alonglater.'
Thank you dad.'
Mmm hmm.'
Shall we get to it? Oh god I mean should we get down to it?' Sam turned crimson again. I mean would you like to come to my room?'
That would be nice.' Martouf smiled as he led Sam in the direction of her quarters.
Even Later ;)
Who could that be?'
Just a minute!' Sam stumbled towards the curtain acting as a door that she had put up for privacy and pulled it aside.
Dad? What is it?'
Sam, Martouf. You better come with me.' Jacob's face was grave and white.
Dad, what's wrong?'
Anise found something that I think will interest you.'
Can't it wait?'
No.' Jacob's tone was final. The couple followed Jacob, puzzled expression adorned their faces. They walked into one of the main rooms acting as a conference room and were surprised to see many of the Tok'ra high council there.
Anise was seated but stood as Sam and Martouf entered the room.
Major Carter it is a pleasure to see you again.'
I'm sure that it is. What's this about?' Sam looked at Martouf but he was staring at someone else entirely.
Sam noted that his face was ashen as if he had seen a ghost. Sam looked in the direction he was staring in. She felt her colour drain from her face. Her stomach lurched and as she swallowed hard, she felt the taste of bile in her mouth.
The young woman standing in front of them was beautiful, her blonde hair touching her waist.
Martouf let go of Sam's hand and took a step towards the woman. He felt his legs go from beneath and could hardly feel Jacob's hands supporting him.
Rosha?' He whispered.
Hello Martouf.'
