Letters 5 Consequences

A/N Sorry it took me so long to update. Enjoy

'He loves me, he actually loves me.'

Sam sat up in bed staring at the letter in her hands, it hadn't slipped her mind how weird it is that they both wrote letters to each other. A thought was slowly surfacing in the back of her mind, if this was his letter where was hers?

"Oh no, no, no, no, no, this can't be happening."

Quickly checking to make sure that Janet and her nurses from hell were no where in sight, Sam got out of bed threw on her clothes and headed out the door.

"Ok give him some asprin and I'll be with you in a minute,"

Janet walked over to the curtain, she had to take Sam's blood pressure and she wanted to see Sam's reaction to the Colonel's letter. When she pulled back the curtain and saw that Sam was gone a small smile appeared on her lips.

"Daniel take your asprin and get in here!"

Jack was speechless, how could he have been so stupid? She loved him all this time. He had to talk to her, tell her how he felt. He ran to his office and took an A4 sized brown envelope out of his desk, he knew what he had to do. Just as Jack was leaving his office, to go see General Hammond, he bumped right into Sam.

"Carter...uh...hi."

'Yeah real smooth Jack.'

"Sir. I was...uh...just coming to see you."

'Yeah real smooth Sam.'

Jack looked down and saw his letter in her hand, 'Oh crap.'

"Carter, about that letter, I can explain..."

Before he was even able to think of an explanation Sam cut him off.

"Did you mean it? Do you...do you...uh, love me?"

'Ok Jack moment of truth, you've practised this a million times.'

"Uh...yeah, yeah I do."

'Round of applause everyone for Jack O' Neill, he's only been practising for seven years.'

"I meant every word of it Sam. I love you, I am in love with you and have been for years."

'Better, come on Jack you're on a roll.'

"When you didn't report in I was so scared. I couldn't imagine my life without you, which is why I am going to General Hammond's office to hand in my resignation."

"You're going to resign for me? Jack you can't, you're needed here."

"Sam, you know we can't be together as long as we're both in the air force, please let me do this."

He was going to resign for her, that was so romantic. Sam reached up and pulled him down to kiss him. It wasn't a long passionate movie kiss, it was a soft simple kiss but it was filled with love.

"Let's go see General Hammond."

"It's your what?"

General Hammond couldn't believe it, Colonel Jack O' Neill wanted to resign. He knew that there was something between his two top officers, but he never thought either of them would leave the air force.

"Sir, I've made up my mind. We both know the air force will never let us be together and Sam is way too important to this program."

"What else can I do? You know there is no going back, if the two of you break up..."

"Sir I am ready to live with the consequences of my decision, personally I think the good out weigh the bad a million to one."

Jack turned his head and looked into Sam's eyes, he was so ready.

"Ok then, Jack it's a shame to lose you. I have to ask however if you would be willing to help if we needed you, say training new recruits or dealing with the Asghard."

Jack just smiled as he and Sam turned to leave.

"By the way Jack, if you hurt her there will be no where to hide."

Later that night Sam and Jack sat on his back porch looking out at the stars. They had been sitting there for about ten minutes and neither of them had said anything yet.

"Sam can I ask you something?" Jack asked turning Sam around so that they were now looking at each other.

Sam nodded slowly wondering what was going to come next.

"Can I get this framed?" As he said this he pulled out a sheet of paper with the picture of him that Sam had drawn on it.

To say that Sam was mortified was an understatement.

"Uh...sure I guess, if you want."

She seemed so uncomfortable all Jack could do was laugh and pull her into a hug.
