May the wrapping come loose. By gater101
Sitting in Sam's quarters, I lean against a wall facing Jacob who is continuously glaring at me.
Facing down the end of the barrel of a gun - hell a zat a staff even ! - Would be easier to handle than one pissed of Jacob Carter.
I breathe deeply as I realize I'm not getting out of here intact, mentally or physically.
« Don't worry, »Sam whispers from her place beside me. I smile tightly at her 'As if' written over my features.
« So, Jack, why'd you hurt my little girl? » I bang my head off the wall behind me.
« I didn't mean to. » I state.
« We'll come back to you later. Why did you start a relationship with my daughter, knowing full well that it could ruin both of your careers? » Good question, shame I have a better answer.
« Because I love her. » I feel Sam look at me as she slips her hand into mine.
« If that's so then why did you leave her? » Damn! This man is good. I feel as though I'm in that movie, 'Meet the parents.' I think about how to phrase this without it sounding too corny.
"We were planning on having kids, I thought I couldn't give her them. So I gave her a way to have children."
"But you did give her a child."
"I realize that now. If I'd found out earlier I wouldn't have left to go to Argos." I state.
"But you did anyway?"
"Yes." I answer wearily wondering where this was going.
"After you found out about your child?" Damn he was too good.
"I'd promised Kynthia I would go." I answer lamely.
"You also promised Sam not to leave her."
"Dad! Stop this right now! I am old enough to look after myself! I don't need you to constantly look after me!" Sam said getting frustrated.
"Do you love him?" Jacob asks. I hold my breath even though I know what her answer will be.
"Yes! Can't you see that!? I wouldn't go back to him if I didn't!"
"What makes you think he won't do it again?" Seems like it's Sam's turn for twenty questions.
"Because I trust him." She replies and I smile proudly.
"Like you trusted Jonas?" Sam stiffens and I squeeze her fingers gently.
"Jack wouldn't hurt me like that."
"How can you be so sure?"
"Because I have never felt frightened by Jack. I've never felt anything other than safe whenever I'm with him!" My heart swells with love for this woman - a cliché I know! I know!
"Even when you've been in the most dangerous positions?" Why doesn't he give us a break?
"Especially when we're in dangerous positions. I trust him with my life!"
"Okay...that's in a working situation. What about at home when it's just the two of you?"
"Dad, you don't understand! Even standing next to him makes me feel safe!"
"Okay. What was your most romantic night?"
"Dad!?" We both shout at the ridiculousness of that question.
"Okay. Okay. Did you ever stop to think that what you were doing was strictly prohibited? That not only were you having a romantic relationship but that you were also lying to a superior officer?"
I look at Sam asking permission to answer the question and she nod.
"Well actually we didn't technically lie to a superior officer." I begin.
"Hammond never asked if we were having a relationship, so we were never put in a position to lie." Sam finishes and I continue.
"Don't ask don't tell."
"I always knew that rule would come in handy for something." Excuse me? What? Did I just hear you write?
"What!?" Sam exclaims.
"You didn't think I didn't know you loved each other?" I laugh at the relief that suddenly rushes through my body.
Sam grins that mega watt smile as she herself feels the rush of relief. The overhead crackles to life.
"Sg-1 to the laboratory. Sg-1 to the laboratory. Dr Fraiser's orders."
I jump off the bed and help Sam up. Just as I'm walking out the door I hear Jacob whisper in my ear.
"If you ever hurt her again I will break your kneecaps." Then Jacob takes control again.
"If that's what Selmac will do then imagine what I will do." He smiles and walks away leaving me dumbstruck. Oooh this was worse than I thought. Even Teal'c threatened to dismember me if I hurt her again. And he is my best buddy!
Looks like Janet found something. I'm changing subject I know but I'm too scared to think about Dad right now. I meet up with Sam in the hallway and she smiles at my heart felt sigh.
"I told you not to worry." She said as we walked down the corridor.
We walked into the laboratory and immediately I knew something was wrong.
"Sir, we have a problem." Janet says. Oh crap!

Waddaya think. Lemme know.
