Sam and Jack waved from the porch as the final car pulled away from their home, finally it was just the two of them. Sam sighed as she leaned into Jack, whose warm arms encircled her, "I don't remember being this tired any other year."
Sam smiled even though Jack couldn't see it, "Maybe because we had to hide everyone from your mother this year."
"Yeah." Jack sighed, "Good thing Thor showed up after Mom left."
"Yeah, really good." Sam smiled again. The smile quickly faded from her face though as her mind began to think, "Jack?"
"Yeah." Jack said as he rubbed his face in Sam's hair.
"I think we need to talk." Sam said and she felt Jack instantly freeze in his position.
"About what?" He finally managed to ask.
"A lot of things." Sam replied.
"Right now?" Jack asked.
"I would prefer it if it was before we went to bed." Sam answered and it eased Jack's mind just a little - she had said before they went to bed so she wasn't going to be dumping him.
"Okay, lets go inside." Jack said as he grabbed her hand and they headed indoors. "The living room?"
"No, it's such a peaceful night, lets go out back." Sam said as she pulled them towards the sliding door. They both took a seat on one of the chairs on the patio and watched each other until Sam spoke up, "I want to know about Sara."
Jack's brown gaze jumped to meet her blue, his eyes wide in surprise - he hadn't been expecting that. But before he could say anything Sam continued.
"Listen Jack - I don't mind that you were married before, really, but your mom said that you two just sort of rushed into the relationship. I was just wondering...well I don't exactly know what I was wondering." Sam sighed.
Jack reached out and took Sam's hand in his, making her look at him, "Sam, you and I aren't rushing into anything. Trust me on that."
Sam smiled slightly, that was definitely one of the things she was wondering. Jack continued before Sam could say anything, "Sara and I were young when we got married. I was looking for an escape from my memories and I thought I found it in Sara. We were just your average happy couple, elated when we found out that Sara was pregnant. Everything was great for a while but as Charlie began getting older problems arose, my history in the Air Force began bothering her, we started getting into some pretty intense fights.
"We started going to counseling but it wasn't doing too much, we decided that if things hadn't gotten better by the time Charlie was fifteen we'd split up. The time was more for Charlie's benefit than ours. Then...then Charlie died."
Sam squeezed Jack's hand and they made eye contact again, she smiled reassuringly at him, telling him he could stop if he wanted but instead he continued, "There was nothing left for Sara and I. The one thing that had kept us together was now gone. So we ended it - two very different people than we were when we married."
Sam and Jack sat in silence for a little while before Sam began to speak, "What I said before about wanting to have kids with you Jack - I mean it. I think about what it would have been like had I never joined the Air Force, if my mother hadn't died and I think about the reality that right now I'd probably be married and have kids but it scares me...it scares me because what if it wasn't you I was married to? What if it wasn't your kids that I was raising?
"Jack, I thought I was content and happy before I met you but after all of these years I've realized that you are what honestly made me, 'whole'. You add to me like a missing puzzle piece to make me who I've always been meant to be. To quote my father, 'When the sight of that certain face or the sound of that special voice lightens your heart, you know your soul is home.' Jack you are that certain face and special voice for me."
Jack smiled as he stood up, pulling Sam to her feet. He stared into her bright eyes before he slowly leaned down and kissed her. The pair eventually broke apart and Jack, still holding Sam's hand, began to walk into the house. Sam grinned slightly, "You know your mother is going to be calling."
Jack grinned himself, "The machine is on. Besides you owe me a giggle."
Sam laughed as she and Jack proceeded to their bedroom.
