How It Went Down
(Part 1)
I left the SGC. I didn't know what else to do.
I love the SGC; but my knees, however, don't. They've about had it. My backs been giving me more and more problems these days. My body's had enough.
And, of course, there's Sam. If I ever have a chance in hell of getting with her, the time is now. I can't risk losing her.
I love my job at the station. It's different, challenging, and exciting. Not as exciting as 'gate travel, but still exciting.
Hammond said that he would contact me if they ever needed me. I gave him my thanks and strolled down to my office. I got tons of junk to clean out of there.
As I finished up, I hear a gently knock on the door.
I raise my head and see Sam standing there. She has a smile on her face and tears in her eyes. She's happy that we can be together, but sad that I'm leaving.
"I wanted you to know that you are the best CO I have ever had. It was an honor serving with you." She snaps off a crisp salute and I am glad to return it.
"So, Jack, what are you doing tonight?"
"I don't know yet. Why do you ask?"
"I was wondering if you wanted to come to my place and have dinner."
"That would be great. What time you want me to be there?"
"Seven. Oh, and bring the wine."
"Yes, ma'am." She smiles and walks out.

He showed up on my doorstep at seven sharp. Why was I not surprised? He handed me the wine, and I, in turn, gave him a kiss on the cheek.
After dinner that night, we sat around just talking and laughing. It felt good too. We haven't been so at ease with each other in years. I think it started to get worse after Daniel ascended, and continued to get worse when Jonas left.
But now, we're happy. We can actually have a comfortable silence again.
I look back on that first night now and smile. After having a few drinks, we ended up making out on my couch. But we ended it there. I think we both realized that we had to take things slow. The fact that we made out was a pretty big step in itself.
We started living together about a month ago. One night after having some of the most fantastic sex of my life, he asked me to move in with him. I quickly agreed and three days later all my stuff was there.
I've noticed that Janet's been trying to get me out of the house more often of late. And when I come back, Daniel and Teal'c are there.
I'm beginning to suspect something. I don't know what it is, but something big is going down.
(Part 3)
I know Sam's beginning to suspect something. Janet assures me that I'm wrong, but I know I'm right. Daniel and Teal'c both agree with me.
Now, my only question is how in the world am I going to propose to her?
I want it to be romantic. When I told the guys this, they were clueless. Janet, on the other hand, was a huge help.
She suggested that I take Sam somewhere to go stargazing.
My plan began to come out from there. It's almost done now. Janet's helping me with the finishing touches.
This is gonna get good.
(Part 4)
Janet and I had an absolute blast. We went shopping and she helped me pick out this beautiful dress.
It's the perfect little black number. It's full length and it's made of satin. It also happens to be a strapless and it has a slit on the right side that reaches to my mid thigh.
After we got the dress, we went lingerie shopping. I always need something new now.
Apparently so does Janet. Her and Daniel have been dating for almost a month now.
Our sixth month anniversary is today. I knew there was a reason Janet was so desperate to get me out of the house today.
I just want to know what Jack has up his sleeve this time. I think it's gonna be good.
Okay, review. It's safe to do so now.
