Nearly Finished. But I am still trying to get this up as fast as possible. You know if I'd started writing this up earlier I wouldn't have this problem. I've arrived at Uni and it's great!!!!Sorry that it has taken so long to get this up, I couldn't get my wireless network card to work and it's vertually impossible to get one of the nine wires for plugging the laptop into the Uni network!!!

Young Love

Chapter Fourteen: - Iraq

Eight years later Jon had just been rescued from his four months in an Iraqi jail. He didn't know that Sam was also in the same hospital. She had been part of the team that had picked him up after he managed to escape. She hadn't realised it was Jon; he had been covered in blood and was virtually unrecognisable. When she saw him she let out a tortured cry and rushed to his side.

"Ma'am do you know him?" An orderly asked as she attempted to get near the thrashing man. Jon was terrified and Sam was distraught about seeing him like that. He had been so strong. The thrashing stopped and he fell into a restless slumber.

"Yeah he's Jonathan O'Neill. The last time I saw him he was a lieutenant." Sam said. Jon was slowly waking and he heard Sam's voice.

"Sammie" he whispered. Not really believing that his ex-girlfriend was by his bed. He nearly smiled at the thought of any one being his girlfriend now; he was 37 and didn't have girlfriends. He had a wife and a son.

Sam looked at him, but recoiled slightly as she saw the fear in his eyes.

"I'm seeing things." He whispered. He lifted his hand and touched her face.

"No you're safe and I'm really here." She took he hand carefully and stroked his forehead. Sam sat by his bed as he looked around. When the doctor approached he shrank back. Not allowing the doctor near to him. The Doctor had seen Jon allow Sam near him so he looked at her and said

"Ma'am you obviously can get near him could you calm him please. I need to talk and examine him."

"Jon common please let him near you." She continued stroking his forehead. He relaxed slightly but watched the doctor like a hawk. The Doctor moved the covers off Jon's chest and Sam gasped. He looked at her afraid she didn't care now that he was injured.

"You're a lucky man Major O'Neill, many of these won't scar." The doctor said. Jon hissed in agony as the doctor cleaned the wounds. Sam kissed him gently and he settled down. The doctor indicated that he wanted to talk to Sam so she left Jon's side.

"Ma'am, he's suffered damage to his right knee that might cause him problems in later life. He's obviously very fit but he is going to have a limp for a while. So you had better look after him." Sam smiled and nodded, before returning to Jon's side.

Over the next month he gradually allowed the doctors near him with out Sam, his safety blanket, by his side. After six weeks of treatment he was able to limp along with only Sam by his side. When ever he stumbled Sam caught him and would gently kiss him. Because Jon had been so badly treated he was going to be kept in the hospital for two months. Sam had spoken to her CO and had gained a few weeks of downtime that she had asked to spend in the hospital with Jon. Her CO had agreed. He had heard of Jon O'Neill and wanted an opportunity to meet the man. He was very well known for his Black Ops work. He had also heard the rumours about Sam feelings for the Irish Major and when he had the chance to visit the hospital he could see how much happier she was when he was around. But Jon had changed since he and Sam split. His beautiful Irish Accent was only vaguely present when his voice went very husky. He had many more internal scars now as well. They would often sit and talk about Sara and Charlie, Jon's wife and son. They'd also talk about Jake and Mark after he and Susan married. Jon had told Sam one thing that she couldn't get out of her mind. He had married Sara because she had been pregnant with Charlie, his six year old son. Apparently he didn't love her but they lived together for Charlie's sake. Sam helped him write a letter to his son, his right arm had been broken and wasn't healing properly. In order to make it more private he wrote it in Irish a language that both Sam and Charlie we nearly fluent in. Sam decided to bring up the idea of having some time together away from the hospital.

"Jon how about I kidnap you for a weekend and we get out of here and spend some time together." Sam suggested as they lay in the sand outside the hospital ward. She was resting on his now mostly healed chest with her head over his heart, listening to its steady beat. He had tanned beautifully a lot since arriving at the hospital and was now looking fitter. Because of the trouble with his arm they had wanted to keep him in even longer than the two months that had originally been planned. He had also been seen by a shrink but Jon had closed himself off so much not even Sam could get through to him. They were very worried that he would get violent so they left him alone to heal his own way. Sam smiled as he purposely breathed deeply, making his chest move up and down under his head. She carefully wrapped an arm across his stomach, and hugged him, burying her nose in the fuzz on his chest as he was shirtless.

"Sammie I know I'm married, but Sara hasn't touched me in ages and I would love to be with you. I will always love you."

"Jon I love you too, but I have only just broken up with Jonas and I'm not sure I could handle this as well."

"Baby I'm not asking for an ongoing affair. I couldn't do that to you. I'm just asking for one weekend together. I need you in order to heal Sam." The sorrow in his voice caused her to reach up and stroke his face before kissing him passionately. His good arm wrapped round her body and held her close to his body. There was a cough and the broke apart slowly to see one of the nurses standing looking very jealous.

"Sir the doctor wants to check your arm out."

"Well he can wait." Jon snarled nastily at the nurse, whose eyes were roving over his body. Sam looked shocked at his attitude but raised her body up for another kiss when he pulled on the back of her trousers.

That night Sam and Jon snuck out of the hospital and walked towards a local hotel, dressed like the natives. They were smiling when they crashed in their room for the weekend. Jon's ability to learn languages had been vital. The second they landed on the bed Sam straddled his hips and kissed him deeply. He groaned and tugged on the T-Shirt she wore.

"Baby you're gonna hafta help me here." He said. Sam giggled and pulled her T-Shirt off, letting Jon's hungry eyes rove over her bare chest. He sat up quickly and took one nipple into his mouth. While he was lavishing attention on her breasts one of her hands rested on his head while the other was struggling to undo his trousers. In the end they both managed to remove their clothes, Sam helping Jon because of his arm. They came together quickly, both ignoring the fact that Jon hadn't used a condom. Normally Sam wouldn't have worried but she had been taken off the pill a few weeks earlier as they had been giving her migraines. They relaxed then made love slowly relishing the fact that they were together again. Sam knew that in three days they would both be leaving. Jon being shipped back to back to his family and Sam was going back to the Pentagon, her time in Iraq was up. Sam decided that she would spend as much time with Jon as she could. When he was told that he was going home he and Sam spent a lot of time hugging and kissing. The doctors and nurses saw them off. Jack was leaving an hour before Sam was. They parted with a passionate kiss which made Sam's toes curl. Many of the nurses scowled as they had been attracted to the Major. When Jon returned to Indiana he was forced to see a shrink, which caused him to reject his family and not talk. Sara tried to get him to talk by using her body but he ignored her, his mind full of the last six weeks with Sam. In the end it was Charlie who managed to get through to his father. He sat on Jon's lap and told him all about school and how much he missed him. The turning point was when Charlie spoke to him in Irish saying how much he wanted to meet Sam. Jon knew that Sam would love to meet him too. They transferred him back to Colorado when he told them that he was never doing Black Ops again. They put him on a normal base, but he was soon drafted back to Black and Special Ops. His marriage was totally over and Sara was having an affair. Jon knew but didn't say anything as it didn't bother him. He still loved Sam and always would.
