A/N: Sequel to I surrender. I wasn't intending to do a sequel, but I had a few complaints about leaving it like that, and some requests for a sequel, so here it is!!
"I need to talk to you" I say, taking a deep breath. "Can I come in?"
"Sure "He says, not knowing what I will say will change his life forever.
After I surrendered
I follow him in to the house, my heart now beating so hard in my chest I wonder if he can hear it. I might know that this is the right thing to do, but it doesn't stop me feeling like this.
I cast my mind back to all the trouble we have got ourselves in to over the years, and come to the conclusion that facing the wrath of a dozen system lords would probably be less terrifying.
He's looking at me strangely now. He knows this isn't just a friendly house call.
"Carter, are you OK?" he asks slowly, obviously unsure if he actually wants to hear the answer.
"I'm fine sir, thank you, I just… I need to talk" I pause "To you" He frowns slightly in confusion.
"You want anything to drink?" He says, trying his hardest to alleviate the tension. I smile at him.
"No, thank you, sir. I just er… I just want to talk to you. I, well, I've been sort of…" I trail off. I can't believe, after all this, I still can't tell him. Then I look up, and suddenly feel a fresh burst of energy. I know this is right.
"I'm leaving the military" He looks at me shocked, and opens his mouth to say something, but I can't let him interrupt me, because I know if he does I will never get it out.
"I've realized sir, over the last couple of weeks, that, well… I'm not happy in the air force. Not as happy, as I could be" I look at him now, and there is a faint glimmer of understanding in his eyes. This spurs me on further.
"I've talked it over with General Hammond, and I can still be part of the SGC, just not a military officer. This is what I want" I look at him again. Apparently, he can say nothing now.
"Sa – Carter, I er... "He struggles "I don't know what to say" He pauses slightly "Why are you doing this? You love your job".
"There's something else. Someone else. That I love even more" And with that, I take a step towards him, and kiss him. I withdraw slightly, and have to stop myself giggling at the look of confusion on his face. This passes, and he smiles at me.
"You're sure this is what you want?"
"Yes. It always has been. I just never saw it before. I love you... Jack" And with that, he places his arms gently round my waist. And kisses me.
"I love you too... Sam"
And I smile at him, safe in the knowledge, that this is right. That for the first time in my life, I'm home.
Right here, right now
I give my life to live again
I'll break free, take me
my everything I surrender all to you
FIN
Well, what did you think?? Please R n R, even if it's just to tell me I ruined the story and should have left it how it was!
