To MY CO: (you know who you are) sry for the shippyness Jack lol

(lol you poor people, it would be mean for me to hold Jack back any longer but guess what.......hehehe more memories....promise next few Chapters will get better ;)

AHA first flashback cont. lol ;)

Her mind had been running wild the past few days. They were due to go back to Antartica tmw to take a final look at the 'doormada' as Jack had called it and they would be given 24 hours to try and figure it out. If not successful, they would return home and a service would be given for the lost comrade.

She had gone home tonight, Daniel and Teal'c dropped by and they talked freely for a while over a few drinks and remembered some times offworld. She sighed as they left, huddled up on her couch she held the steamming cup of coffee in her hands staring at the steam that rose from it....

"Colonel have I ever told you, you look good wet?" They laughed still standing in the rain.

"No you haven't, but I take your word for it......Sam...." "Sir?" "Drop the colonel, I'm Jack." "Ok....Jack." If they stood there any longer one would think they were statues. He began to grin, and she raised an eyebrow.

"What are you grinning about?" "You, this, us in the rain." he wiped the new drops from her cheeks and kissed her softly. She kissed him back, the steady beat of the rain as it splattered onto the ground beneath them disappeared along with the lightening that streaked the sky making them nothing more then shadows for a moment.

She was lost in his embrace now, thinking of only him. She felt the soft traces of his lips everywhere.

They wandered back into the camp a few hours before dawn. Daniel and Teal'c had turned in for the night. Sam and Jack walked causiously to avoid anything that would wake the boys. They slipped into his tent where she discarded her shoes and took a seat on the unused sleeping bag. Jack joined her taking her hand in his.

Sam leaned her head sleepily on his shoulder. He smiled and kissed her forehead draping his arm around her. She closed her eyes listening to the steady breath he drew.

Daniel woke them sometime later. They were snuggled together beneath a blanket her head just below his chin. Jack put his finger to his lips at Daniel when Sam didn't wake. He slid from under her gently and met the guys outside the tent.

Sam walked out with a yawn and looked at her teammates who sat on logs by the fire they'd built Jack smiled. Daniel spoke up.

"So, we're going to check out....." "Yes Spacemonkey, we shall check out the ruins that's a few miles from here you've asked me repeatedly." "Well you repeatedly ignored me up until now." "I was thinking..." "About?" "Nonya..." "Nonya?" "None of your damn business." He smiled rather childishly. Sam rolled her eyes and took a cup of coffee.

Daniel was running around now reading and recording various things from the ruins around him. He was like a kid sometimes. Jack motioned Sam over..

"Sleep well last night Carter?"

The doorbell drew her from her thoughts and she slid from the couch going to answer the door.

To her surprise Dr. Weir stood there, a soft smile on her face.

"M'am?" "Hi Sam, mind if I come in?" "Oh no....not at all." She opened the door wider and let her in then closed it as Weir turnt to face her.

"You love him don't you?" The question caught her completely off guard and she stood stunned the only thing she could manage was a startled, "M'am?!?"

Elizabeth smiled, "Jack, you love him." Sam looked down and nodded, "Yes very much." "I knew there was somthing...." "Who said there was anything?" "Sam I saw the way you stared at each other before the mission." There was a long silence.....a very uneasy silence.

"Well, about tomorrow.....you don't have to go." "I want to." "Sam I fear it'll hurt you even more. You've hardly slept." "I've gotten plenty...." "No you haven't, your teammates have told me that much. But if you insist on going I want you to go to bed early, get a good night's sleep. You can't keep doing this to yourself." With that the doctor left.

Sam found that conversation odd and looked at the clock. She would head to bed early tonight.

Daniel was in his study. Teal'c sat in the living room flipping through the TV channels to find anything. He sighed in an irritated way and dropped the remote on the couch.

"Hey, Teal'c!" "O'Neill?" "Shh......do you have to be so loud?" "What do you want O'Neill?" "Come here!" Teal'c followed the Colonel into his room.

Jack stood before his new Play Station grinning like a fool. Teal'c raised an eyebrow.

"C'mon T wanna play?" "O'Neill, remember what happened last time I played one of your games?" Jack took a moment thinking of when the Jaffa got over excited and snatched the game off the table.

"Uh, I can risk it this time." Teal'c raised an eyebrow. "C'mon T." He shrugged and took a seat picking up one of the small controls. "You do remember how to play right?" "I did not forget O'Neill."

Jack rolled his eyes and started the game to find it wasn't his game.

"Sorry Colonel you should know better then to have games on base." was the welcome message he recieved when he put the disk into the play station. Teal'c smirked and Jack sat there mouth open in shock.

"Something wrong O'Neill?" Teal'c asked amused at the bemused look Jack was wearing. "I payed 50 damn dollars for that game and Sam erases the program..........that's SO not cool."

Teal'c smiled and looked towards the study. Daniel was still reading.
