As Sam came back from taking a shower early the next morning Jack was
thrashing around in her bed.
"Jack," She said in a reassuring tone as she sat on the edge of the bed and laid a gentle hand on his chest. "Jack, it's okay. You're safe." She'd seen him have a nightmare once or twice before while they were off world. "Jack, you're safe, nothing can hurt you." She ran a gentle hand of his head. "Shush." She said calmly. "It's going to be okay." He stopped thrashing and slowly opened his eyes. "Hey."
"Hey. What time is it?"
"A little after six. You want to tell me what your nightmare was about?" He shook his head. "Okay."
"You're all wet." He commented.
"I had to take a shower, do some girly things. It'll save time later."
"How long have you been up?" He asked.
"Since five."
"Why would anyone choose to get up that early?" He asked yawning.
"I always get up this early, so if I actually make it home then I can be back at the base for 0600."
"You work too much." He yawned.
"It's what comes from having to prove to people that I can be a scientist and a soldier, especially when you get a CO who obviously has a problem with scientists' especially female ones who get dumped on them." She teased.
"Hey, I got used to you, you know after we saved the world a couple of times."
"It would be a real shame if you still had a problem with me and I had to kick your six to the other side of the galaxy and I ended with bruises on my legs. They won't go with my dress."
"It's too early for you to try and be funny."
"Time doesn't stop you either." She dropped a kiss on his forehead. "Have a quick shower and get dressed while I make some coffee and toast. Then we can head over to your house and finish getting ready."
"You're still ordering me around."
"That's because we have to be at a wedding in four and half hours and the only thing that's going to make me be late is a Goa'uld attack. Now move it Colonel." Sam snapped into military command mode.
"Yes ma'am." He shot of a very dodgy salute.
"I think you need to work on that salute airman." She gave him another kiss. "The coffee will be ready in ten minutes."
"Thanks."

"Carter, hurry up." Jack called. As he stood leaning against door and closed his eyes. "We're going to be late."
"Well if you help me do up my necklace I'm ready." She stepped out of the bedroom and held out it to him.
"Wow." He said as he caught a glimpse of her. "You look great." He wrapped his arms around her waist and pulled her tight against.
"You were there when I bought, you seen it before."
"But not with the shoes and everything."
"That's because you're used to seeing me in combat boots."
"And very nice combat boots they are too." He said as he kissed her.
"They tend to go with everything." Sam said with a smile. "We have to leave otherwise we'll be late."
"We can be late." He said as he kissed the side of her neck.
"No we can't. Now help me do this up so we can leave." She turned so he could fasten her necklace.
"There." He dropped a kiss on the join. "Let's get out of here before I change my mind."
"That's the spirit." Sam winked at him and grabbed her purse and the wedding gift she'd purchased.
