Remarital Bliss – Chapter 6

Thank you so much, everyone, for the continued support of this story. It is Valentine's Eve. I'm alone, but that doesn't mean my characters have to be! Hope you enjoy this next chapter!

Jonas heaped food on his tray at breakfast. Teal'c and Jacob were ahead of him doing the same.

"Hey, Teal'c, you're looking pretty pleased with yourself. What's going on?"

"It is Valentine's Day, Jonas Quinn."

Jacob groaned.

* * *

Sam walked over to the Mountain entrance while stuffing her keys in her pocket. Looking up she spotted her CO.

"Finally!"

"Sorry, sir, I didn't realize you were waiting for me."

"You don't understand. I completely forgot. We need to do something. Make plans. Get really mushy."

"Mushy, sir?"

"Carter, it's Valentine's Day."

* * *

"And IIIII-I will always looove youuuuuuuu. And IIIII will always love you- OOOOOOOO . . ."

"JONAS! For the love of all that's good! Cut the music!"

"Sorry, Colonel, I didn't realize you were there. What do you think so far?"

The commissary was covered. In pink. And hearts. And balloons.

"Yes, please Colonel O'Neill. Jonas and Teal'c have told me of this festivity. Tell me, are we doing this correctly?"

"Yeah, Jack. What do you think?"

Jack spun around to look over in the corner.

"Jacob?!"

Jacob never removed his glare from Jack as he continued to blow up his balloon.

"Surely you and Major O'Neill have made plans for this special occasion?"

"You know what? I was actually going to go discuss those plans with her right now."

Jack turned and left the commissary. He shook his head as he walked to Sam's lab where they'd agreed to meet.

"Man, oh man! Two mighty warriors and an alien genius. Hanging up sparkly pink streamers."

* * *

Koshan continued his conversation after Jack left.

"It is so beautiful to see the way Colonel and Major O'Neill have worked through their problems so quickly. When I discovered that Colonel O'Neill had been unfaithful to Major O'Neill? It was just terrible! But I now see that their love is stronger than . . . Jacob? Are you not well?"

"He what?!"

The balloon popped.

"Oh dear!"

* * *

"Well, I was thinking we could just talk and act even more, well, to borrow your word, mushy. Then we can exchange homemade cards in front of Koshan and everyone. Maybe share a bowl of Jell-O at the commissary during lunch, hand-feeding each other of course. And then . . ."

"JAAAAAAACK!" Jacob's voice rang from the hallway.

"I KNOW YOU'RE IN THERE!"

"Sam!" he held her close. "Protect me! I'm too young to die! I mean, I know there's a lot of gray, but I still have a lot of good years left to give, I swear!"

The door slammed open.

"Jacob. You look a little, um, well . . . You weren't breathing too much helium in there were you?"

"I can not believe you cheated on my daughter! When I get through with you, you'll wish you'd never laid eyes on that Kate."

"Am I the only one that remembers that Sam and I aren't really married?"

* * *

Sam giggled again.

"Major, it wasn't that funny!"

"Oh come on. You were scared, admit it."

"I don't have to admit anything."

"'Oh Jacob. Please. I promise I will never cheat on Sam again. She's the only one for me! Please don't hurt me!'"

"Eat your Jell-O, Major."

"And then when he grabbed your ear and . . ."

Suddenly her mouth was stuffed with Jell-O, muffling but not stopping her laughter.

"Careful, Major. Wouldn't want that stuff coming out your nose."

* * *

"Sir?" Sam called into Jack's office.

"Yeah, come in."

"I wanted to give you this."

"Hey! You really did make me a card!"

He opened it up and read out loud.

"'I'm making a vow/To show that I care/If Anise shows up again/I'll rip out her hair/' Sam, that's the nicest thing anyone's ever promised me! Here read mine."

Sam opened up the heart-shaped card.

"Sir, you shouldn't have! 'Roses are red/Jell-O is blue/No matter what planet/I'll gate home to you/' That was beautiful!"

"Really? You thought so? Because I really worked hard on that one."

"I could tell."

"You really mean what you said?"

"About Anise?"

He nodded.

"Her eyes too, sir. Her eyes too."

"I love you!"

They wrapped their arms around each other.

"I love you too!"
