Jack's POV
I am watching Sam this afternoon through out this will reading for the second time today. I know this has to be hard on her.
She has worked so hard to get where she is, to make it this far in the military as a female. And to top it all off, she loves her job!
And now, things are going to change so much for her, and she might lose the job she loves so much.
I can't let that happen.
There has to be a way to stop that from happening. I am waiting patiently for Daniel and everyone to leave so I can talk with George and find out what out options are.
I have known for a long time that Sam has wanted a family, and now that she has one, I am not sure how she is going to deal with everything that was just dumped in her lap.
I mean when you plan for a family, you plan it out, your careers and everything. This was just like 'Here take it' with no respect to anything.
I saw her get up and grab the phone and retreat out the patio doors.
I don't mind really, we already went over this, this morning with Cassie.
She doesn't have to be here for it again.
As soon as Daniel and Teal'c leave I start to talk with the General, but he cuts me off first.
"Jack... things are going to have to change from this moment on."
"I know."
"Sam won't be able to go out on so many missions and stay on base working endless nights like she is used to."
"I know."
"I have a few ideas Jack."
I raise an eyebrow, guess Teal'c is wearing off on me.
"This is going to be the end of the team isn't it Sir?" "Well it's going to change. Just as you have over the past week Jack."
Well I can't say that I haven't changed.
Because I have.
"I can see it, the way you two are together here. It's nice to see."
"I have gotten used to her hanging around too."
"And I take it that you don't want things to go back to they where before."
"No Sir."
"Then this is what I have to offer, son."
We talked for a bit, and I have to say that I honestly like some of his ideas. I just hope Sam will.
I make my way outside with the General on my heals.
I spot her and go to sit down next to her on the bench.
George sits down at the picnic table and looks over at us before he begins.
"So this is what I have to offer."
We both listen like it's the last thing we are ever going to hear.
I can see the emotions run over Sam's face with each one.
Thank god he gave us till next week to decide what we were going to do.
At least it gives us the weekend to talk about this.
And I want to do this as a couple. Together.
Wow, you would think we were married or something.
But it's true. I don't want to have to decide anything anymore for just me. I want it to be us.
And from the look on her face so does she.
I reach for her hand, letting her know that we will discuss this tonight.
The General takes that as his queue and stands up, "Well Jack, Sam, this has been a long day, and I am sure you two have things to talk about."
"Yes Sir."
I walk him out, and then lean against the front door.
Well we have a lot to talk about now don't we?
