CHAPTER TWENTY-NINE: NIGHT OUT ON THE TOWN

Saturday morning the phone rang and she turned over and groped for it, "Carter."

"Sam, I'm sorry, I woke you."

"No, that's OK, I was awake."

"You weren't but thanks for that anyway. The reason I'm calling Jack said something about us all getting together tonight."

She felt a warm body snuggle up behind her and Pete started nuzzling her neck and running his hand over her naked body. "Stop that, it's distracting."

"Excuse me?"

"Not you, sorry Vicky, what were you saying?"

She heard giggling in the phone, "Am I interrupting?"

"No." And she smacked Pete's hand.

"Anyway, how about O'Malley's at 1900?"

"That sounds good."

"I know that I'm about the last person on any planet that you want to spend time with but why don't we go shopping for new dresses first? We can get something to know the guys' socks off."

"Umm...OK."

"Pick me up at 1600?"

"Sure, see you then."

She hung up and turned on her back and Pete asked, "Who's Vicky?" He started placing little kisses on her face, neck, and shoulder.

"The Colonel's wife."

O'Neill has a wife? I thought he was divorced."

"Different wife. Why are we talking about him?" She pulled him down and gave him a passionate kiss.

Jack opened the door for Sam. "Carter, come in Vicky will be down in a moment. Come in a have a cup of coffee."

Sam eyed the living room, "it's a lot cleaner in here."

"Yeah, she made me clean it up myself. She sat on the couch watching the TV, WAY to loud, I might add, and didn't lift a finger to help."

"Well, you know, Sir, it serves you right."

"Yeah, about that..."

"Sir, you don't have to apologize, I know that you have had a difficult time recently."

"Just the same, it was a good thing that she kicked my ass. Better than wallowing in all that self pity."

"You have to admit, Sir, it was pretty funny when she yelled that stand at attention thing."

He gave her a wry smile, "glad I could amuse you, Carter."

She gave him a brilliant smile and he grinned back. Sam was just finishing her coffee when Vicky came into the room.

"Sorry you had to wait."

"That's OK, it gave me a chance to have coffee. The Colonel was telling me about you making him clean up."

"I believe in penance, it did him good. All that moving around works the toxins out of your system faster."

"So that was for my own good?"

Yep."

"Don't go our of your way to do me any favors." He glared at Carter when she snickered.

"You ready, Sam? Remember, Jack, O'Malley's at 1900. Don't forget." He gave her a look that said "who me?" They both grinned at him and left.

~X~X~X~X~X~X~X~X~X~X~X~X~

They were on their third store in the mall and getting a little discouraged when they couldn't find anything. Sam suggested a department store a couple of stores down that was a favorite of hers. A lot of times the smaller stores were more limited on their selections.

Vicky found a great blue dress that she thought would look great on Sam at almost the same time the Sam found a green one for her. Vicky looked at Sam's selection a little doubtfully, "I don't know, Sam, there's not much to that thing. You know I don't have the great body that you have."

"Don't sell yourself short. At least try it on, OK?"

Vicky called from her cubicle, "I'm glad I wore this bra."

"Which bra?" Sam called back.

"You know the squish-them-up-in-your-face-I-have-cleavage-thank-you-Jesus bra."

Sam laughed, "Oh, that one."

Sam came out into the entranceway to check herself out in the three-way mirror. That's where Vicky found her, "damn, look at you, you're a walking heart attack."

"Do you think Pete will like it?"

"I think that we'll have to give him CPR because he will forget how to breathe." Sam smiled at her and she asked, "don't you think that this one is a little to...little?"

"No, I think it's great."

"I don't know," She turned towards the sales floor so that she could look over her shoulder at her butt. She looked up and saw a young man in about his mid-twenties staring at her and she gave him a little smile and he promptly walked into a clothes rack. "Sold, I'll take it," she told the sales girl.

"That done, now we just have to find shoes and a purse," Sam said.

"And stockings."

Sam gave her a wicked smile and said, "I have just the thing."

Vicky was dragged back to Sweet Dreams. When they went inside she saw a display of garter belts and said, "Sam, I think the dress is a bit short for a garter belt."

"That's not what I meant." She showed Vicky some stockings, "These are called "thigh highs" they don't need a garter belt."

"Then how do they stay up?"

Sam showed the rubber like stripping, "Now go try those on."

Vicky went into the dressing room and when she came out she said, "I have to admit these are actually comfortable, a lot better than panty hose." Sam agreed with her on that one. Since they were there they both bought a couple of garter belts each. Military women sometimes felt an extra need to feel feminine. After the BDU's were definitely not glamorous.

The found purses and shoes back at the department store. Sam looked at her watch and said, "Good we have just enough time."

"Enough time for what?"

"Come on, I'll show you the secret to looking great for a special occasion." And she dragged her over to the cosmetics section. She went to the section that sold her favorite brand and told the Girl, "We have a special night out and want to knock the guys socks off."

The sales girl smiled, this was her favorite part of the job, "sit down and I'll give you a make over." Sam sat down so that she could be first so that Vicky wouldn't be nervous . The sales Clerk put a paper bib on Sam so that she wouldn't get any make up on Sam's dress.

"Oh boy, we get lobster." Vicky said. They all had a good laugh while the girl was getting out various bottles and getting ready.

"You have really beautiful eyes and great skin." Sam blushed at her complement.

Vicky watched in fascination at her handy work. When Sam was finished she said, "Wow, I didn't think it was possible for you to look more beautiful. Pete will really have a heart attack." Sam turned red she really had a hard time with compliments.

When it was Vicky's turn the girl told her, "You have great skin, too. You should start taking care of it and it will still look good when you're forty."

"I think I love you. I'm going to be fifty in a couple of weeks."

The girl gaped at her, "No way!" And looked at Sam for conformation and Sam nodded. "Wow, you're my hero, what's your secret?"

"Not one you'd want to copy being locked up as a prisoner of war in the dark for over twenty years." She thought that was a good an explanation as she could give.

"Bummer."

"Big time bummer." The girl did such a good job that Vicky bought all of the products that she used as well as a complete line of skin care. Sam also bought the eye shadow and lipstick; she also bought some more skin care. She wasn't out yet but with her schedule, who knew when she might have a chance to shop.

They had gotten out of Sam's car at O'Malley's and spotted Jack making his way to the door. Vicky yelled, "JACK!" He turned around and stared at her with his mouth hang open,

//dear God\\

Vicky started to become concerned, "If you don't like the dress I can change."

That woke him up, "No, no, the only way you could possible look better was naked." That caused Vicky to turn a deeper red than her hair.

"So, you like it?"

"Oh, yeah," he got a very wicked smile on his face.

//Damn, could he look any sexier\\

"Sam got a new dress, too."

Jack looked over at Carter, she did look very nice, he realized that though he admired her beauty it didn't stop his heart like it once would have, like Vicky's did now. "Nice dress, Carter."

And at that moment Sam knew that they had turned a point of no return and it made her a little sad. She was more surprised that it didn't hurt as much as she thought it would. Jack opened the door, "After you, Ladies."

Vicky in a stage, "He just wants to watch our butts." Sam giggled and Jack said, "No here thank you very much." After letting go of the door he took Vicky's hand as they walked towards the table where Pete, Daniel, and Teal'c were waiting and the men rose when they saw the ladies approaching. Pete looked like he forgot how to breathe.

"You didn't have to stand on my account," he grinned when Daniel rolled his eyes. He went over and slapped Pete good-naturedly on the back, "Breathe, Pete, breathe, you can do it."

Pete leaned forward and gave Sam a very soft, sweet kiss, "My God, you are so beautiful." She blushed again; this was really getting to be to much. Pete turned and shook Jack's hand.

"Pete this is my wife Vicky."

Pete shook her hand and said, "It's very nice to meet you. You look beautiful, too."

"Indeed," Teal'c bowed at her.

"You both look lovely," Daniel said.

"Thank you all," Vicky said as Jack held her seat. //sexy and putting on your best manners. Jack no way are you sleeping alone. What am I saying, you're not sleeping at all and you won't be alone\\

Jack made his chair was very close to Vicky's. She almost choked on her wine when she felt his hand sliding up her leg. She leaned over and whispered, "Jack, what the hell are you doing?"

"I'm running my hand up your leg," he grinned wickedly. And he was glad when she didn't remove it. He worked his hand higher and came into contact with...skin. //Holy crap! She's wearing a garter belt\\ He felt around for it...and didn't feel it. He looked confused and leaned over and whispered, "What's holding them up? I can't find a garter belt?"

"The have this rubber like thingy that holds them in place," she whispered back.

//I think that my dick is going to explode\\

//I think that Jack is going to through Vicky up on the table and have sex with her right here, not the Sam and Pete are any better. I feel like I'm watching the beginning of a live sex act\\ "I always wanted to know what it felt like to be invisible," Daniel said to Teal'c.

"Indeed, DanielJackson, the two couples seem to be enjoying each others company."

"You think?"

Pete pulled Sam onto the dance floor. Vicky got up saying, "I need to go to the bathroom." //and dry out my panties\\

Jack shifted uncomfortably in his chair. //I'm not getting up any time soon\\

Daniel looked at Jack and saw him wince and thought it from watching Dam and Pete dancing and asked Jack, "Are you OK?"

"Umm...Yeah, my...ass went to sleep."

Daniel looked at him confused then nodded to the couple on the dance floor.

Jack looked over, "Oh, that, no I'm fine with than, Danny." He watched Sam an Pete; he really was fine with it he realized. "I'm happy for her. Of course, if he hurts her I'll kill him..."

"You will have to wait until I am through with him, O'Neill."

Daniel smiled, "I think there will be a long line for that."

Vicky came back and Jack stood to hold her chair again. He sat back down and scooted closer to her and leaned over, "What do you say we finish up, skip desert, and call it a night." She smiled at him and nodded.

//I have a MUCH better idea for desert\\ they both thought.

~X~X~X~X~X~X~X~X~X~X~X~X~

Jack opened the door of the truck for Vicky and helped her into it, then he leaned over have gave her a passionate kiss, "Let's get home."

After he pulled out onto the street he gave her a predatory smile and put his hand on her knee and slowly slips it upwards. She smiled back and shifted to give him better access.

When they were inside their house Jack locked the house, threw Vicky up against the door, pinned her arms above her head and said in her ear, "If you don't want this tell me now because in another thirty seconds I won't be able to stop." He leaned down further and bit her just below the ear.

"If you stop I swear to God that I will kill you."

He let her hands go and grabbed he so that she could wrap her legs around his waist. They both shed clothes on the way to the bedroom. By the time they made it to the bed he was naked and she was just wearing the stockings.

They spent long hours re-acquainting their selves with each other bodies.

~X~X~X~X~X~X~X~X~X~X~X~X~

When she started to wake in the morning she felt warm and safe. She general felt lovely. She felt nuzzling at her neck and a hand running down side and over her ass.

//What the hell\\ and she started to remember last night as Jack began to place soft kissed on her shoulder. //I am such a slut. I practically attacked him. He probably thinks horrible things about me\\

"I know you're awake."

//Damn, time to face the music\\ She rolled over and Jack stared down at her for a moment. He looked so serious she didn't know what he was thinking.

"Umm...about last night..."

He brushed his lips across hers, "What about it?"

"Were both drunk..."

He kissed her tenderly, "And now we're not." He deepened the kiss to the point that she had a hard time breathing.

When he rose up and looked up at her she asked, "So you don't regret it?"

Jack was shocked, "Hell no! What would give you that idea?"

"Well, I kind of took advantage of you."

He laughed out loud, "I thought I took advantage of you." She smiled at him ruefully. He took her left hand in his right and kissed her ring finger. He then rolled over and reached for something on the nightstand. He rolled back over and but his left arm back under her head and placed something that she couldn't see into his left hand. He opened the hand but she couldn't see what he had, so she strained to look. "Uhuh, no peeking," he teased her.

He reached over with his right hand and picked up something and showed it to her. It was her wedding ring. Heart started to race as he said, "Give me your left hand." She held it up and it was shaking. He looked in her eyes and said, "Victoria Elizabeth McPherson, would you do me the honor of being my wife, again?"

There were tears in her eyes, she couldn't talk and nodded. He slipped the ring on her finger, got the engagement ring and also put it on then kissed the rings. He leaned down and kissed her again. HE moved his left hand down and showed that it contained his wedding ring. "You kept it?" Her voice barely a whisper.

He nodded, "I just couldn't throw it away. It didn't seem right."

She took the ring with trembling fingers and slipped it on. "I love you, Jack O'Neill."

"I love you, Victoria O'Neill." HE started kissing again and they began to make love again.
