Chapter 10: The Attack
Once Jack and Sam arrived at the planet, the Stargate shut down. "Make camp," Jack ordered.
"Yes, sir," Major Johnson acknowledged.
Jack smiled at Sam before helping them with the camp.
That night, Sam was looking at the starry sky when Jack sat next to her. "It's been a long time since I was able to look at the sky," she sighed.
"Yeah, I bet it has been. I promise that once this is all over, I'll take you and the kids out on the best vacation you'll never forget," he assured.
Sam looked at him with a smile. "In other words you want to fish after this is over," she laughed.
"Come on, Sammy, it would be fun," he groaned.
Sam held onto his hand with a sigh. "I'll think about it," she replied. Jack chuckled and held her close. Then they fell asleep in each other's arms.
The next day, Sam and Jack went out exploring the planet. "So, why are we doing this?" Jack asked.
"Well, I think it would be better to go looking at some of the things instead of waiting to be attacked," Sam replied.
Jack sighed, he wasn't going to argue with them. Sam was looking into the water of a stream and he sat next to her. "You're thinking of the kids again, aren't you?" He asked.
"Well, yes, of course I am. Don't you think about them?" She answered with another question.
"Yes, I do think about them. I also know that what I am doing is protecting them from Nefertem," he replied.
She leaned against him with a sigh. She held onto his hand at the thought of her children being raised by the Tok'ra if something happened to them. She prayed that nothing would happen to them. She would like to see her children grow up and be fine parents themselves. "They'll be fine," he assured.
"I know, I just can't help but worry about them," she sighed.
He held her close and pressed his forehead against hers. "I remember the day I met you, it was so...different," he reminded.
"Yes, it was different. Especially when you were being all sexiest," she laughed.
Jack pulled away and laughed at her. "I wasn't being sexiest," he playfully snapped. She went to strike him when Jack gently grabbed her arm and pulled her close. "Okay, maybe I was a little bit," he admitted. She pressed her forehead against his and smiled at him. Then he pulled her into a gentle kiss. She placed her arms around his neck and felt his arms go around her waist pulling her closer to him.
When they got back to camp, Daniel hurried up to him. "Jack, I think we're being tracked. We just killed a Goa'uld spy," Daniel informed. Jack looked around to see more Goa'uld.
"JAFFA KREE!" A Goa'uld ordered.
Jack grabbed Sam and they ducked behind a rock. Everyone else went behind everything they could. "Sorry that it ended up this way," Jack apologized.
"You kidding? This is what I missed doing," Sam laughed.
Jack grinned before shooting at the enemy.
