A/N Oh I can't stay away!!!! So I hope I am not disappointing you all!

Jack looked at Sam as she held the small object up and looked at it more closely. It was quite elegant the way the light hit it.

"Right you are, someone should be wearing it." Jack replied,

"Well Jack, I love you, but I'm not going to wear a collar covered in fake diamonds." Sam said looking him straight in the eye.

"Well that's good because I wasn't asking you to wear it." Jack said.

"I don't think it will go with your skin tone." Sam giggled. She was about to say something else when a loud rustling sound emanated from beneath Jack's desk. "Jack what was that?" She asked moving to the desk.

"Um..." Jack faltered. "That would be who gets to wear the collar." Jack replied before bending down underneath his desk and emerging with a large cardboard box. Once again Sam was slightly baffled, but felt her heart instantly melt as Jack reached in and pulled out the brightest orange ball of fur Sam had ever seen. As Jack moved closer to her, the fur seemed to move and Sam was greeted by two large dark eyes. Jack stopped just short of Sam, his free hand now rubbing the back of the animal that was small enough to sit in his hands. "Sam meet Space Monkey. Space Monkey, this is Sam." Jack moved his hand closer to her as he spoke to it.

"You named a cat Space Monkey?" Sam asked in disbelief.

"Well I couldn't think of anything else. And I thought Daniel would be flattered." Jack said with a smile.

"You bought a cat?" Sam asked again. The kitten was now stretching out trying to get a smell of Sam. Sam began to softly touch the kittens head as it rolled its face into her palm.

"I bought us a cat." Jack said looking down at the kitten. "I just figured, the two of us spending so much time apart, we could smuggle him back and forth between bases."

"Can I hold him?" Sam asked, unable to resist any longer.

"I'm surprised you lasted this long." Jack said holding the cat out to her. Sam fell in love as soon as the cat reached her arms and she drew it to her chest. She began murmuring softly to it and nuzzling it with her nose and Jack could barely hold back his smile.

"Oh he's too gorgeous." Sam cooed softly.

"I know it will be an adjustment for him, it's always hard on the children when the parents live apart, but I think we can make it work." Jack said with a soft chuckle as he realised Sam was ignoring him and giving all her attention to Space Monkey.

"I'm sure he'll manage, although isn't Daniel allergic to cats?" Sam asked. Space Monkey had now curled into a ball in her arms and was dozing and softly purring.

"Yeah, well he won't be near him." Jack replied. "So, you like him?" Jack asked. Sam moved past Jack and put the kitten back in his box. With a nothing short of illegal look on her face Sam grabbed Jack and pushed him back against the wall of his office, kissing him fiercely. The embrace lasted for another few minutes before Sam pulled back.

"God damn me having to go back in an hour." Sam muttered against Jack's lips.

"You know, that's enough time to get back to the house." Jack whispered. "I could drive you back because you need to get off...I mean pick up a few things." He said conspiratorially. Sam let out a small snort.

"Romantic." She said with slight sarcasm.

"Don't you need to get those books?" Jack said placing a trail of kisses down her throat.

"I could use some more day clothes." Sam said kissing him again.

"Let's go." Jack said almost pulling her out of the office.

"Ah Jack..." Sam said clearing her throat. "Aren't you forgetting something?" Jack looked to where she was pointing and lowered his head.

"Whose idea was it to have kids anyway?" Jack said picking up the box and Space Monkey. Sam let out a small chuckle as she followed him out the door.
