Foolish Games18

You all should know the drill by now. Please don't ask me to repeat it.

********************

He just couldn't get over Sam. She wasn't even letting him sleep in the same bed with her.

It was killing him inside.

Hammond had given them unlimited downtime so they could work their problems out. He had kept telling Jack that if they needed anything, all they had to do was call.

It had been two weeks, and there had still been no word from Jack or Sam. George could only assume that everything was going okay.

Jack had had enough. He was sick and tired of listening to Sam cry herself to sleep every night.

When he knew that she was sleeping that night, he crept quietly into the bedroom and crawled in next to her. He made damn sure that she was tightly in his arms before he joined her in sleep.

Sam awoke the next morning, feeling the weight of an arm across her stomach. Looking behind her, she saw Jack's strong features being captured by the dawn light beginning to seep in through the curtains.

He stirred and instantly, his eyes locked with hers.

"Why are you doing this?"

"Because I love you."

And so it happened. She finally opened up to him and they began to talk.

They talked for hours, speaking of many things.

They talked of Charlie and Sarah; they talked of her mom and the various alien men that had once been in her life.

And then they began to talk about their life together. They talked about marriage, and the baby. Sam had broken down and cried, but she didn't protest this time when Jack held on to her.

Jack smiled down at her. She was finally coming to terms with her grief.

He placed the lightest of kisses on her head before he noticed that she had already fallen asleep again. It was no wonder, considering that they had been talking for almost twelve hours straight.

It had been a week since Janet had heard anything from Sam. She also hadn't heard anything from Jack concerning Sam, so she could only hope that they were both doing okay.

Deciding that she needed to make sure Sam was okay for herself, she gathered up Daniel and Teal'c and they all took off towards Jack's house.

Upon reaching the house, they noticed that there were no lights on, but both cars were still parked in the driveway.

The three strolled up to the front door, and knocked.

Hearing nothing from inside, they called out.

"Jack, Sam, anybody home?"

They stood like that for some time, still hearing nothing from inside.

"Should we go check on them? Make sure they're both okay in there?"

"Do you have a spare key Daniel?"

"Yeah. Here it is."

Janet unlocked the front door, and quietly made her way inside. Daniel and Teal'c followed closely behind.

"Okay, you guys search down here, I'm gonna check the upper level."

"Deal."

Janet quietly made her way to the back of the house, and came to a stop outside the bedroom door. She couldn't hear anything coming from inside, so she cautiously opened the door.

She had to smile when she saw the sight that stretched before her eyes.

Lying there was Jack and Sam. Sam had an arm draped across Jack's bare stomach, while Jack's arm was wrapped tightly around her bare waist.

It appears that Sam had finally opened up to Jack again.

Good for them.

~fin~

It's just temporary! You guys have been so patient with me! I must commend you for this! School has been absolutely insane, and I haven't gotten a chance to do much, as you've no doubt noticed!

Anyway, would love to know what you thought of this. Thanks again for sticking through this!
