Into the Lyons Den 2/?

The next day Harm was waiting for the elevator that would take him back into the Lion's Den. He really didn't know what to expect from these people who he once considered his friends. The elevator dinged, interrupting his thoughts, he got on, pressed the button that would take him up to the JAG offices and started thinking again on how Mac was going to react to seeing him. Just then the doors opened up on the courtroom floor and none other than Lt. Col. Sarah Mackenzie stepped on to the elevator.

All Mac wanted to do was make it to her office without talking to anyone. When she walked into the elevator, she went to press the floor button and noticed it was already lit. She raised her head to see who was in there with her and came face to face with Harm. She didn't know what to say, and tried to open her mouth but nothing came out. But she didn't need to worry because he broke the silence.

"Hello Mac"

"Harm… I didn't know that you were going to be back in town."

"Yeah, well I didn't either, I was ordered here for about a week or so."

"Oh ok."

Just then the elevator dinged and the door opened revealing the busy offices of JAG. Harm and Mac stepped of the elevator at the same time. Without a word or look at Mac Harm headed to the admiral's office. Mac just stood there for a minute then headed to her office, not noticing the people that were staring at her. It reminded them all of old times, and when Harm left without a word, all the attention turned onto Mac. No one knew or dared to say a word about what just happened.

~Same time~

Sam and Daniel just checked into their hotel room when Daniel's cell phone rang. "Hello"

"Hey Danny, just wanted to make sure that you guys got over there ok."

"Yes, Jack we are fine. What else do you want? I know that you didn't just call for that."

"Ok, ok, you got me. You know how Harm feels about the people at JAG, maybe you guys could go over and see him tomorrow and make sure he's ok."

"We will Jack. Actually we were planning on doing that and maybe going out to lunch together."

"That's good. Well I'll let you two love birds go… see ya later."

"Bye Jack.

Daniel ended the call with Jack and turned around to see Sam already in the bed getting ready to take a nap.

"What did Jack want honey?"

"Well, he wanted to make sure we got here ok, and wanted us to go check on Harm tomorrow. I told him that we already planned that."

"Ahh ok.. Well enough about our teammates, come here." Daniel obliged. He stripped down to his boxers and climbed in to bed. Sam curled up beside him and he put his arms around her. They both fell asleep within a few minutes.

Daniel got up around 5:00 pm and decided to find a nice place to eat. He called down to the front desk and got a few names of restaurants. He called and made reservation for 8 at a place called The Sky Tower. After he got off the phone, he went over to his suitcase and dug into it until he found a small black box. He decided that tonight would be the night that he asked Sam to marry him, he just hoped that she say yes.

It was around 10:00 when they finally left the restaurant. "Sam, come on, let's go walking by the reflection pool." He took her by the hand and the walked over to the pool. When they got there, the sat down on a bench. Daniel wrapped his right arm around Sam shoulders and took her left hand is his.

"Daniel, I'm glad that we decided to do this, we needed the time away from the SGC." She laid her head on his shoulder.

"I am glad too. It's really nice here. Sam this is wonderful, spending time with you alone, I love it like I love you." As Daniel was talking, he tool his left hand from Sam's and reached into his pants pocket and grabbed the box. He pulled it out and opened the lid. "Sam, I know that we spend all of our time together already, but how about we make it official?"

Sam sat up and turned to face Daniel. She saw the small box in his hand. He eyes went from that to his face. "Are you asking me to marry you?"

Daniel took her left hand in his right, "yes I am. So do you accept?"

"Oh my god, yes. Yes I will marry you." She kissed him then threw her arms around her neck.

After a few minutes Sam withdrew her arms. Daniel took her hand and put the ring on it. The ring was gold and it had one carat in the middle with a ½ carat on each side. He stood up, reached out and helped Sam up then they headed back to the hotel.
