Letters 4
The Plan in Action
(A/N) Sorry I couldn't come up with a better chapter title; if you think of one let me know. I am assuming that since you are reading this story that you have in fact seen Grace, so this takes place after Jack leaves Sam in the infirmary.

I called him Jack, how could I be so stupid? On the ship when I'm talking to him, well myself represented as him, or ... whatever, I call him sir. Here where he's my CO I call him Jack. And I'm supposed to be a genius.
She had been repeating those thoughts to herself for the past hour. Col. O' Neill didn't seem to mind her calling him Jack but Sam was still mad at herself and would be for a long time to come, unless she does something else really embarrassing.
"Yeah like giving him that letter." She said to herself with a laugh.
In a second her mood changed. The letter, oh God she hadn't destroyed it before coming back to earth. What if he found it? She would be court marshaled, removed from SG1, and maybe even removed from the SGC. This was just typical.
"Where did I put it?"
She could see her heart beat quicken on the machines.
"OK I wrote the letter in the mess, then I got up and went to the engine room and put the letter... in my pocket!"
She looked around to see if she could find her clothes but they were no where to be seen.
"Janet!"

Jack walked down the corridor with a spring in his step. Carter was awake and on top of that she called him Jack. It wasn't like it was the first time she had called him by his first name; it was in fact the third or fourth time. He imagined the two of them walking along a sandy beach, two or three kids running around them, she would call him Jack, no Jonathan, she would call him Jonathan and he would call her Samantha. There'd be no Gua'uld, no NID, just the two of them and their family. Jack was so lost in thought that he didn't hear Daniel calling him.
"Jack!" Daniel grabbed his arm stopping him dead in his tracks.
"Oh hey Danny, sorry I was off in my own little world."
"I heard Sam was awake, how's she doing?"
They started walking towards the canteen.
"She's grand, a little out of it though, but hey she does have a concussion."
"Yeah. I think I'll go see her. Talk to you later."
Daniel walked away but stopped and yelled back, "Do you think I should tell her someone was in her lab and left the door open?"
When he turned around Jack was gone and all he could hear was;
"FUCK, SHIT, BOLLOCKS, GET OUT OF MY WAY!"
When Jack reached Sam's lab he found that the door was in fact open and there on her desk right where he left it was the letter. He ran over, grabbed the letter and was gone before anyone noticed. He only stopped running when he got to his quarters.
"Smart move Jack. She'd have you court marshaled if she found this."
He looked down and stopped breathing; this was not his letter. At least not the one he wrote to Sam.
"Dear Jack...
^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^
"Janet," Sam yelled.
"JANET FRASIER GET YOUR ASS IN HERE NOW!!!!!"
Janet came running in as fast as her little legs could carry her. Sam was pissed, very pissed.
"Janet get me my uniform!"
Janet smiled to herself and went to get her friend's uniform. When she returned she didn't even get a thank you.
'You're welcome," she huffed and walked away.
Sam searched all her pockets and let out a sigh of relief when she found what she was looking for. She unfolded the paper just to make sure it was the letter. Her face paled. She just stared at the letter. When she finally realized that if she had a heart attack Janet would come in, Sam started reading the letter quietly to herself.
"To my dearest Sam,
You've been missing for four days. We don't yet know what happened to you, Danny said it's funny the only one who would be smart enough to think of a way to find you, is you. Everyone keeps telling me you're going to be ok, you will be ok Sam. You have to be. I don't think I'd be able to go on if anything happened to you.
Why didn't you tell me what happened to you when I disappeared with Maybourne? Teal'c told me how hard it was on you. Then Janet told me that you were the same when I was stranded on Edora. Why did you never tell me? You don't need to answer that, I know it's because I'm your CO. Still I thought you would still be able to talk to me. Although when I think about it, given what we agreed to after the Zat'arc testing I can see why you would hesitate.
Do you know that I kick myself every night for agreeing to keep what was said in that room, in that room? How could I be so stupid? Well I'm not gong to waste my chance this time. I love you Samantha, more than I have ever loved or will love anyone in my entire life. I've loved you since the first day we met, if I had to pin point the exact moment I would say it was when you said, 'Just because my reproductive organs are on the inside instead of the outside doesn't mean I can't handle anything you can handle.' I can't say exactly what I love about you because it would take me forever but I will tell you what I love the most, your eyes. Your eyes tell me so much, when your sad I can see how they go a deep blue, like when you couldn't go see your Dad because the Tok'ra wouldn't let us leave; and when your happy they sparkle like the stars in the sky. The first time I remember your eyes sparkling was when we met the young Nox, I bet you just wanted to take him home with you.
Unfortunately life isn't as simple as we sometimes want it to be. I know that we can't be together while we are both in the air force, which is why when you get back I'm going to retire. You mean more to me than anything Samantha I don't want to lose you again.
Love,
Jack."
