Chapter 7 – In these arms

"Surprise!" She whispered. "What is all this?" She walked towards him, and handed him the piece of paper. "This is my letter of resignation, effective immediately" She looked at him, and smiled. "What?" He shouted "You're leaving?! You can't, I, I won't let you!" She smiled again. "I'm not leaving the SGC. I'm leaving the military. I will continue to work at the SGC, but as a civilian scientist, not as a major, and, with your consent, remain a member of SG1. It's already been cleared with General Hammond, and he's happy with my decision. " Jack frowned. She was leaving him? She couldn't! "I, I don't understand... why?" He said. She smiled again. "So I can do this..." Taking a step towards him, she laid her hands on his shoulders, and kissed him. Letting go for a second, she murmured, "So I can keep on doing this" she kissed him again, and this time he returned the kiss, wrapping his arms tightly round her waist. She stopped, and took a step back.

"I love you Jack, more than I've ever loved anyone, and I can't carry on like this, I can't work beside you every day, without telling you I love you. I have to tell you this, because if something happens, I couldn't stand the thought that I hadn't told you. "She paused. He was silent "Please say something." He was staring at her. Never had he ever dared to dream she felt like this.

"I love you too" He said "I always have done, I just never imagined you would feel the same way. I love you so much Sam, it hurts, and I can't imagine my life without you anymore. I never said anything, because I was terrified you didn't feel the same" She laughed, and then started to cry.

"Oh Jack!" She whispered, and threw herself in to his arms.

He held her tightly, still not quite believing it was real. "You're wrecking your career for me" he said. "I don't care" She replied.

He stared in to her eyes, and kissed her again. His hands brushed through her hair, and rested on her back. This is it, he thought. This is what my life is about – her. I'm never letting her go, not now. I love her, and she loves me. SHE LOVES ME!!!

He loves me, she thought. HE LOVES ME!!!! She rested her head on his chest. This is what it's all about. Lying here, in these arms.
