A/N: I have 104 reviews!!!!!!! Falls out of chair. I can't believe it. For this story I wasn't expecting more than 50 because my last fic (with 9 chapters) had 18 reviews. Anyway, my beta's been after me to stop reading my new book, Trickster's Queen, and start typin' again. So here I go...
Jack's Point of View
When I arrived at Sam's room at the hospital, she was arguing with the nurse. "NO, I won't be wheeled out of the hospital in a wheelchair. I can walk, for God's sake!"
"Colonel Carter, please..." pleaded the nurse.
"Sam," I simply said.
She looked up at me like a deer caught the headlights. "Jack?"
"Carter, ya know it's hospital policy to be wheeled out in a wheelchair, right?"
She shook her head and willingly sat down. Fifteen minutes later, we were on the way to her house.
I stayed with Sam for the next three to four months, taking care of her and getting to know my former 2IC better. We dated, shared secrets and the dark shadows of our lives with each other.
Cassie had moved in with Sam shortly after Janet died, but the only times I ever saw here were occasionally on the weekends.
I found out that the real estate agent I'd sold my house to had never sold it, so I bought it back. Cassie, Daniel, Teal'c, and Sam helped me move back in.
It was a bright November day when I moved back. It was just like the good old days of SG-1. The comradeship and familiness. It was all still there, which was wonderful.
Before I knew it, Christmas was only a couple weeks away. I had already decided to propose to Sam then. I was planning on asking Jacob for her hand while he was in town for Christmas; he was staying with me after all. Meanwhile I had chosen a ring, but how to propose?
The only answer: Cassandra Fraiser.
I called Cassie's cell phone and managed to catch her in a free moment with Sam not around.
"Hey, Cass," I said.
"Jack!! What's up?" she inquired.
We chatted for a while and then I got to business. "Cass, I called you for a reason," I began.
"And that is?" she prodded.
"I'm going to propose to Sam this Christmas and I need some advice on how to make it romantic because, well, you know me, I'd..." I trailed off.
"YOU'RE GOING TO PROPOSE!!! O MY GOD!!!!" Cassie shrieked. "Okay, here's what you have to do..."
A/N: I had to skip a couple months there b/c of my patience issue and just b/c. Anyway, I hope you enjoyed the chapter and don't forget: Review, Review, Review!! Love y'all lots.
