"Evening all!" Jack said, sitting down at the table in between Daniel and Harry.

He shot a glance across at Sam who was smiling for the first time since they had rescued her from Ankhesenamun. She caught his eye and looked away quickly. She knew that in the past couple of weeks they had come closer to revealing their true feelings for each other than they ever had before – but now she was safe she had to bury those feelings again. Jack knew she was thinking this, because it was the same thing he was thinking.

"About time," Jonas smiled as Teal'c sat down next to him.

Teal'c smiled slightly and grabbed the menu from in front of him.

"We already ordered," Daniel said. "Pizza for all."

Teal'c raised an eyebrow. "That is good then."

He replaced the menu.

"Carter, you feeling better?" Jack asked.

"Yes, sir," she replied.

"I still think she should be in bed resting," Janet replied. "But you know, there's no keeping her down."

Sam grinned. "I have work to do Janet."

"You've gone through a big ordeal Sam, I think you should be resting!" Janet said.

Sam opened her mouth to reply but Jack interrupted.

"I think Carter has a right to come out and party once in a while," Jack replied. "Especially after what she's just gone through."

Daniel raised his glass. "To Sam."

Everyone clinked glasses and laughed. Jack could see a flash of pain across Sam's face, but she hid it quickly. It was going to take a while for her to get past it. He wondered if anyone else had noticed – but they didn't seem to.

Separate conversations started out while they were waiting for their food.

Sam stared out over the mountains in the background. They were pretty, she'd never really noticed how pretty they were. Then again there were lots of things she'd taken for granted before now. She looked back at inside the restaurant. There were two other people standing outside, but they were far enough away not to be a problem.

She looked up at the starry sky, wondering if Jason Blank was still out there. Wondering if he'd ever return to Earth, try and track her down. She decided the damage they had done to their armies and Mothership they were pretty much guaranteed he'd stay away for a little while at least.

She shuddered at the thought of being a Goa'uld again. It had been worse this time. Jolinar had been friendly, nice…but Ankhesenamun had an evil feeling to her. She had made her cold inside, an empty feeling she had never felt before.

"Carter…" came another voice from behind her.

"Evening, sir," she replied.

"Why are you out here? Come inside where its warm and play pool," Jack said, leaning on the rail next to her.

"I'm not in the mood, sorry sir, you can go play," she replied.

"If you're staying, I'm staying," Jack replied.

They stood in silence, leaning on the railing and staring up at the mountains surrounding them.

"You know I meant what I said," Sam said quietly.

"When?" Jack asked.

"Before the Goa'uld…" she looked away. "Before…you know."

"Oh…then," Jack replied. "I remember…I meant it to."

Sam nodded, still avoiding his gaze.

"I'm glad you're safe," Jack said.

"Thank you," Sam said.

"For what?" Jack asked.

"Not giving up on me," Sam replied.

"Actually you should be thanking Harry and Steven, they found the way to save you," Jack said.

"I already have, sir," Sam said. "Now I'm thanking you."

"Well then, you're welcome," Jack said.

There was another silent pause.

"What about Tutankhamen?" Sam asked.

"If he comes back we'll kick his ass," Jack said.

Sam smiled and laughed briefly. "I'll take your word on that, Colonel."

"Oh it's a promise," Jack said.

"Lets go back inside," Sam said.

"Yasureyabetcah," Jack replied.

The two of them turned around and headed back into the busy restaurant to the find the others.
