A/N: I want to thank everyone for the reviews. I really do appreciate them. Sorry for the length of time it took to post this. Between Uni and work and the kids I don't get much time.

The Next Morning

Pete woke up with a splitting headache and a churning stomach. He rolled over in the lumpy hotel room bed wishing he hadn't finished off the bottle of scotch last night. Slowly opening his eyes to the mid morning glare in his room.

He dragged himself out of bed and turned on the shower. 'This is going to be a long day' he thought.

While Pete was in the shower he didn't hear his cell phone beep with a new message.

Sam's POV

Sam woke up in a wonderful mood it was a perfect clear sky and it was a warm day.

Sam was humming as she poured herself a coffee and went outside to grab the Saturday paper she had delivered. Sam sat down with the paper and her coffee she wasn't really reading the paper her mind was still filled with the images of the wonderful night Jack had treated her too. Sam finished her coffee and headed for the shower.

She decided to go for a ride today it had been ages since she was able to take her classic bike out for a spin. Sam got her leathers together and got on her bike. Deciding to head up the mountains was a good idea. She like the winding roads and how her bike handled them. She knew from her previous trips up there that the small coffee shop 3/4 of the way up the mountain was the perfect place to stop and have some lunch. Sam tightened her helmet and kick started her bike to life and started her way up the mountain.

Jack's POV

Jack had a good morning he'd woken up a little stiff and sore from sleeping on the sofa. Jack decided he had to do some of the yard work he'd been putting off for a while and now needed to be done.

Jack had been in the yard for hours the sun was beating down on his back and had just finished clearing his guttering out when the phone rang. Jack grabbed the cordless phone he had sitting on the ground next to the ladder.

"O'Neill" He said answering its incitant ringing.

"Hi Jack" Daniel said

"Danny-boy what have you done now. Where's the fire?" Jack joked at his accident prone team mate.

"Oh. You're funny Jack." Daniel's voice dripping with sarcasm "Look T and I are going to have a beer and pizza night we just wondered if you wanted to join us." Daniel asked.

"Sure Daniel. Hey why don't you call Sam and we'll make it an unofficial team night". Jack suggested.

"Ok. Sound's good. Oh. T said to tell you that he's getting the movies. " Jack internally groaned at the thought.

"Daniel just make sure it isn't star wars again. Please, hey why don't you guys come over here? There's more room and we don't have to worry about getting stabbed by your rocks" Jack said.

"There Artefacts Jack and if you looked before you sat you'd know what was there but yeah we'll make it at your place." Daniel said.

"See you around about 7 Daniel." With that Jack ended the call. He desperately needed a shower and he had to go to the store considering his usual beer and salsa diet was badly depleted.

Jack put the ladder away and headed for the shower.

Sam's POV

Sam was half way up the mountain when she felt her cell phone ring. Sam pulled over on the road shoulder and pulled her cell phone out of the pocket in her leather pants. As she pulled her phone out just as it beeped to tell her the person had left a message. Sam dialled her message bank and listened. "Hey Sam. Team night Jack's place at 19:00 don't forget the desert. " Daniel message had told her. She couldn't help but smile even thought Daniel wasn't military he had sure picked up a lot of habits for the people he worked with. Sam pulled her helmet back on and put her cell back in her pocket and took off again. She wouldn't be able to go all the way up the mountain today but she didn't mind. She was enjoying herself and thinking about what had happened last night with Jack. Sam felt like she was walking on air.

Later that afternoon

Sam had just gotten to the coffee shop and ordered lunch when her cell rang again.

"Carter" She answered.

"Hey babe, Is that how you're supposed to answer the phone to a friend." Pete said with a small bite in his voice.

"Force of habit" Sam retorted with the same tone he had used.

"Sorry babe. I just got to your house and thought you'd like to do something for dinner tonight." He said.

"Pete, I asked you to call before you came around, you know I don't have regular hours and I don't want you wasting a trip." Sam replied she couldn't believe the gall of Pete just turning up to her house. This had been the source of a very large argument between the two of them a few weeks earlier.

"Well are you going to let me in or not?" Pete questioned her.

"Pete I'm about 3 hours outside of Colorado springs at the moment it would be impossible." Sam told him.

"We'll isn't that a bit hard when your car's in the driveway." Pete questioned her

"I took my bike. And no I can't go out tonight because I have other plans. How about we make it tomorrow night?" Sam suggested, so far this call had done nothing to calm her nerves about her relationship with Pete.

"That sounds good. But you really shouldn't be riding that bike it's just so dangerous" Pete told her.

Sam had finally had enough of this conversation and the direction in which it was heading. "Look Pete I have to go. See you tomorrow night." Sam closed her cell phone. She sighed thinking 'when did everything get so complicated'.

Sam took her time have lunch and decided to go the back way home. It was slightly longer but it was a beautiful drive. By the time Sam made it back to the outskirts of Colorado Springs it was nearly 19:00. She didn't have time to go home to change so she pulled into the local cheesecake shop and headed over to Jack's house still dressed in her leathers.
