Chapter 2: The Date

Sam came back from visiting Daniel, Cassie, and Jennifer. Daniel and Janet were married before she died, but before she died, she gave Daniel a child. She got out of her car and opened her mailbox to see a rose sitting next to her mail. She took the rose into her hand and smiled to see a card attached to it. She opened the card and her smile widened.

We've been through a lot and nothing tore us apart. Even though it was a rough start, I know that I can play the part of being your one true love. I love you Samantha Carter.

Love Always,

General Jack O'Neill

Sam walked into her house and put the rose into a vase. She sat down and sighed. She picked a photograph up from her bookshelf and began to look at it. She was sad that Teal'c left to be on Chulak and Daniel was going to be leaving too. He had explained that he had to be with Jennifer and Cassie. Jack and Sam understood that Daniel was still hurting from Janet's death. Before Sam knew it, she had fallen asleep in her seat.

That night, Sam was getting ready to go when the doorbell rang. She opened the door and smiled to see Jack standing there. Jack's eyes widened to see her beauty. "Wow! You look beautiful," he said.

She was wearing pale blue buckle high heels, a medium blue dress, and she had blue clips in her hair.

He wore black shoes, black pants, a white button up shirt, and a black jacket.

Sam smiled and stepped aside to let him in the house. Jack came in and revealed a bouquet of red and white roses. "These are for you," he smirked. Sam took the roses and kissed his cheek.


"They're beautiful, thank you," she sighed.

"You're welcome, Sam."

She placed the roses in a vase and added the rose he gave her earlier with the rest. "Are you ready to go?" He asked. Sam nodded then they left.

They stopped at a fancy French restaurant, of course, Jack had a hard time ordering, since the menu was all in French. So Sam was glad to order for them. "When did you learn French?" He asked.

"I had practice through high school," she replied.

Jack nodded and then they shared a quick kiss. "Hey, guys," Daniel said.

"Daniel, what a surprise to see you here," Sam said.

"I promised Cass I would bring her here for her birthday," Daniel replied.

"Oh! That's right, tell Cassie happy birthday for us," Jack stated.

"I'll do that, you two have fun."

They watched as Daniel sat back with Cassie in front of him and between the two of them was a high seat with Jennifer in it. "He seems happy, doesn't he?" Sam asked.

"He has his good days and bad days," Jack replied.

Sam nodded and held onto his hand. "I'm glad that we're finally together," she said. Jack lifted her hand up and kissed the top of it.

"I am very glad, since we've been through so much during these past years. I guess that without you, I wouldn't be living," he sighed.

Sam placed a hand on his face and gave him a gentle smile. They shared a gentle kiss before their food came.

After they ate, Jack placed a box in front of her. "Jack, what is this?" She asked. She took the box into her hands and opened it. She gasped to see a beautiful necklace sitting in the box. "Jack, this is beautiful!" She gasped. Jack stood up and walked behind her. He took the necklace into his hands and clasped it around her neck. Sam jumped slightly when she felt his warm lips against her neck.

"It fits you perfectly," he whispered.

Sam blushed slightly and touched the spot where he just kissed her. "Jack, not here, not while Daniel and Cassie are here," she said.

"Sorry," he apologized.

Sam grabbed his hand with a gentle smile on her face. "Hey, I didn't say I didn't like it," she said sweetly. Jack kissed the top of her hand and gave her a smile.

"Are you ready to go?" He asked.

"No what do you have in mind?" She asked.

"You'll see."

They said goodbye to Daniel and Cassie before leaving.

As they walked out to the car, Jack pulled out a scarf and placed it over her eyes. "Jack! What are you doing?" She asked.

"It's supposed to be a surprise, don't touch the scarf," he replied.

Sam fake pouted, but she sat there and didn't touch the scarf.

Once the car stopped, Jack got out and hurried over to the other side. He grabbed her hand and got her out of the car. "Can I take the scarf off yet?" She asked.

"Not yet," he replied.

"Now?"

"Nope."

"Now?"

"Stop asking, not yet."

Sam laughed and held onto his hand. Jack then stood behind her and placed his hands on her shoulders. "You can take it off now," he whispered. Sam removed the scarf and gasped at the place.

"Jack, what is this?" She asked.

They were standing in the greatest dance club in town. "I remember that you were saying that you've never been here before," he said.

"This is perfect," she said.

Jack kissed the side of her head before they started dancing. As they danced together, they were dancing to Jessica Simpson's Angels. Jack held Sam close and kissed the side of her head. "I love you," he whispered. Sam kept her head against his shoulder and smiled.

"I love you too," she whispered back.

Once they were finished at the club, Jack looked at the clock to see that it was running late. Sam was exhausted, but she was had a lot of fun. Then he drove Sam back home.

When they came back to her house, Jack feeling silly walked Sam to her door. Sam smiled and placed a hand on his face. "I will treasure this night forever, thank you," she said quietly. Then they shared a passionate kiss before she grabbed his hand.


"Sam, what are you doing?" He asked.

Without answering, she opened the door and led him inside. Let's just say that General Jack O'Neill wasn't seen all night.
