"Hi guys, we're almost ready" Sam said standing at the front door to her house with, Jack, Jonas and Teal'c standing in front of her "come in we won't be long" she continued.

"Do you need a hand Sam?" Jack said as he entered the house noticing she looked slightly run down.

"Yeah would you mind watching Connor for me a minute?" she asked

"Sure" he replied

"Thanks Jack" she replied

"No problem" he said heading towards Connor's room

He looked over the cot side at his son "hi there Connor, how's my little guy today?" he asked he didn't know why but the way he spoke to his son always seemed to amuse Connor a lot "come on then lets go and see uncle Teal'c and Jonas" he continued lifting him from his cot and carrying him though to the next room.

"Here he is, all ready to go, what time are we meeting Jacob and the good doc? Jack asked.

"In forty minutes O'Neill" Teal'c replied

"So eleven then" Jack said

"Teal'c can you watch Connor for a minute I'm just going to check on Carter, see where she's got to" he said handing Connor over to him.

"As you wish" O'Neill

Just then Sam entered the room " hey sorry for the wait...are we ready to go?" she asked she still looked ill though.

"You bet we are" Jack replied "Jonas will you go help Teal'c belt Connor up in the car" he continued throwing him his car keys "we'll catch you up" he said glancing over at Sam

"Sure" Jonas replied following Teal'c outside

"Are you sure you're up to this Sam?" Jack asked

"I'm fine" she replied

"Are you sure, if you don't mind me saying you look like crap that's all" he replied

"Thanks" she said

"We can take Connor to the park if your not feeling to hot" he said

"No I want to come, Janet's done a few tests, she thinks it's probably just the flu, some fresh air will do me good" she replied

"Ok then, lets get going" he replied

They had been at the park for over an hour and were just finishing tidying away the picnic.

"Can I talk to you for a minute Sam?" Jack asked

"What is it?" she asked

"Not here, can we go for a walk?" he asked

"Yeah, Dad do you mind watching him for a while?" she asked

"No, take your time, we're have loads of fun here" Jacob said amusing Connor with a few of his toys, in the last three months he'd only got to return to Earth twice so he liked to spend as much time as possible with his Grandson.

They walked around by the pond in the centre of the park and sat down on a near by bench, they were still in view of Jacob and Connor and actually spotted where Teal'c and Jonas had disappeared to with Janet as a spectator.

"You think that's another one of Teal'c training games for Jonas?" Jack asked

"It's a water fight" Sam replied

"Really...it looks more like target practice to me.... and Jonas is the target" he replied a little sarcastically "and oh you're so gonna get it now" he continued having just witnessed the accidental soaking of Dr Frasier.

"He tries though you can't say he isn't needed on the team now more than ever what with your retirement, and well it'll be a while before I'm back on SG-1 full time" she said

"Yeah I know" he replied pausing for a few minutes to take in the view of the surrounding area, "I just like winding him up a little, that's all a lot like I did when I first met you" he continued.

"So I noticed" she replied

"He's a good kid, but don't tell him I said that, it'll ruin my image" he said

"We can't have that" she replied receiving a playful punch in the arm from Jack

"Have you ever wished for things to be different?" he asked

"In what way?" she asked

"You know little things like I don't know, having a normal life for one?" he asked you know the type where your not always off world and even when you are there's something to make it back in one piece for when you get back?" he continued

"Yeah we've got Connor" she replied

A silence fell upon them again only broken with the words "so do you want to become Mrs Samantha O'Neill" he said it so quite Sam wasn't sure if she'd heard him right or not.

"I'm sorry, say that again"

"Will you be Mrs Samantha O'Neill?" he asked

"Are you serious?" she asked

"Yeah why not, it's not as if the regs are in the way or anything now" he replied

"That's true" she said

Jack stood up from the bench and removed a small square box from his jacket pocket before turning back to her, he got down on his knee holding the box in his hand. "OK Sam Carter, it would be my honour if you'd agree to become a member of the O'Neill family" he said revealing the ring inside the box to her.

"Jack, wait a minute" she replied

"What?" he asked

"Are you sure you're doing this for the right reasons, I mean not just because of Connor?" she asked

"Would I be down here on a dodge knee if I didn't want to marry you?" he said

"I guess not" she replied

"There you go then, I just figured its about time we put ourselves first and not the fate of the world, we're not getting any younger it's about time we got something back" he continued.

"OK then" she replied

"What? he said

"OK, yes, I'll marry you" she replied

"Really? cool" he said getting up and sitting back on the bench and removing the ring from the box.

"Wait, you keep it for now just till we tell my dad" she replied

"If that's what you want" he replied

"Just till I tell him that's all" she replied

"Do you want me to do all that ask the father for his daughter's hand in marriage stuff?" he asked

"No, why? do you want to?" she asked

"No, its just it's your dad you know" he said

"Yeah and I'm sure he'll take the news well" she replied

"Ya think, I mean, this is me you're talking about, Jack O'Neill, do you think he likes me? he asked

"Your not scared of my Dad are you Jack?" she asked

"Me, no" he replied trying to think of a way to change the subject

"Don't worry, he likes you really I think" she said

"So do you think its about time he got back in case we missed anything?" he asked

"OK, only one thing, the ring is going to be on my hand by the end of the day, I promise"

"If ya think so" he replied

"I know so" she replied as she stood up, she felt a little dizzy

"Easy Sam, sit back down" Jack said

"I'm fine" she replied

"I'll go get Janet to have a look at you" he said

"I'm fine, honest, but if it makes you feel better I'd ask her to check me out later not now we have time off remember" she said

"OK but you are going to rest for the rest of the day after this and that's an order, I'll take Connor home with me" he said

"Fine, I'll get some rest now stop worrying it's just the flu...are you coming back?" she said, as she stood up again closely watched by Jack.

She turned around to face him, she was feeling dizzy again only this time she found it increasingly difficult to breathe.

Jack took one look at her and knew something was very wrong "Sam" he said as he got to his feet just quick enough to stop her from hitting the ground "what is it?" he asked

"I can't..." she stopped she couldn't speak to him though trying hard to catch her breathe

"Jacob, Janet I need some help here" he shouted as loud as he could hoping that they would hear him.

A/N I'm so evil making you wait for more. If you want more tell me and I'll get it up ASAP.
