Say it isn't so chp2

A/N OK... I caved. Due to a number of arm twisters here's the next chapter.

I hope you all enjoy.

All mistakes are my own. Just remember that I'm using an Australian Dictionary.

Thanks for all the great reviews.

Jack woke up with a feeling of unease it wasn't about his feelings for Sam. But how Sam would react would she rethink the whole situation and decide to go back to Pete.

Last night had been one of the most wonderful nights of his life. Things between them had not started out that way. He thought, he had lost Sam forever, and then in the space of an hour everything had changed.

He felt Sam stir, he smiled even on-world she wasn't a deep sleeper. She shifted under his arm that was draped across her waist so the he could see her face, her lips in a sleepy smile.

"Morning Jack." she said without opening her eyes.

"Morning Sam." he leant in close to place gentle kisses on her closed eyes.

Her eyes fluttered open, "Oh WOW!" Sam exclaimed looking deep into his dark brown eyes as the memories of last night came flooding back to her. She stretched and wriggled her toes. Jack thought this was adorable.

"I could so get used to this." Sam said wrapping her free arm around him.

"After last night all you can say is WOW" Jack said with a smirk. "I was thinking along the lines of the most unimaginable, unforgettable, the most amazing night of my entire life." He said as Sam smiled.

"It was all those things and more Jack, we really should have something to eat" she said changing the subject briefly "for breakfast" she added after she saw the devious gleam in his eyes.

"We Should." Jack agreed reluctantly "Why don't you have the first shower and I'll go and put the coffee on." Jack suggested to her.

Sam got out of bed not bothering to grab her shirt and headed for the shower but she stopped just outside the en-suite door "Who said anything about having to shower alone?" Sam tossed seductively over her shoulder as continued to the bathroom.

Jack didn't know what moved faster, him getting out of bed to follow her into the bathroom or the blood rushing south.

They finally made it too the kitchen about an hour later both looking very relaxed and happy.

Sam sat on the kitchen bench while Jack was making his famous Spanish omelette. She knew that she needed to bring up the subject with him and it was now or never.

"Jack, I have to go and see Pete today." She told him trying to gauge his reaction.

"I know Sam, I was expecting you too." Jack said gently and he turned to look at her.

"Just remember that I love you, and I only ever want to see you happy." He added.

"I love you too Jack." Sam said with feeling.

They chatted comfortably over breakfast and "So what would you like to do tonight?" Jack asked her.

"We could go out to dinner, but considering we both are on downtime for a week. I was wondering if that fishing invitation was still valid." Sam said her eyes sparkling. Jack hadn't seen her so happy in years.

"Why of course it's still valid. The Jack express will be leaving tonight if you want to catch a ride" Jack joked with a mouthful of omelette, until the gravity of what she had just said hit him, Jack choked. Sam jumped up and whacked him on the back. He looked at her, his eyes burning with passion. Inside Jack's heart was screaming 'she said YES....' Jack was finally able to take a breath he said the only thing he could "Sweet."

Sam cleaned up the kitchen after Jack had left. He needed to pick some stuff up from his house and she need to deal with Pete before things went any further between her and Jack.

She thought meeting him for coffee would be the best plan. So she rang him to arrange it.

"Hi Pete, Can you meet me for coffee today" Sam asked.

"Sure how about the coffee shop a couple of blocks from you house. About 11:30." he said.

"Sure see you then." Sam hanging up the phone she felt as though a great weight had been lifted from her shoulders.

Sam had arrived early she was sipping on her glass of water waiting for Pete. Sam had placed the ring Pete had given her back in its velvet box. Not wanting to be cruel to Pete she had taken the ring Jack had given her last night and placed it on the chain with her dog tags currently tucked under her shirt and out of sight.

Sam saw Pete arrive and moved towards the table she picked. Sam made sure that her chain and ring were hidden from his view.

"Hey babe" he leaned over to give her a kiss, one that Sam didn't return.

"Pete we need to talk. Look I'm really sorry but....." he stopped her mid sentence.

"NO! Let me guess you have to get back to your precious mountain, when are you ever going to find time for us or for me." Pete snapped angrily.

Sam remained calm when she took the velvet box out of her pocket.

"I'm not." she simply stated as she slide the velvet box across the table towards him. Pete stared at the box as if there was nothing else in the world to see.

When Sam started to stand up, it broke him out of his thoughts.

"Pete, it was nice knowing you. I'm sorry if I hurt you, but this is never going to work about between us. I really hope you have a good life." Sam said to him calmly as she picked up her jacket with her left hand from the back of the chair and started to walk away.

Pete's hand shot out and grabbed her right arm with such ferocity that Sam wished she had her P-90.

"You're screwing him aren't you?" Pete said with such venom in his voice it made Sam cringe.

"Goodbye Pete." Sam said trying to get her arm free from his death grip.

"You can't do this too me." He spat. "You won't do this to me I won't let you. I will have you as my wife." He told her his voice was raised his anger was palpable.

"Pete, your hurting me let me go." Sam said strongly.

"You have been screwing him. Haven't you?" Pete was now twisting her arm; tears of pain were forming in Sam's eyes.

"Let me go now Pete" she told him in her best command tone she could muster.

He leaned in close to her ear.

"I will never let you go." Pete twisted her arm even harder when all of a sudden there was a loud pop sound and Sam let out a strangled scream.

The coffee shop owner was on his way over to ask them to keep it down or to leave as it was disturbing the other diners.

The coffee shop had been deathly quite while Pete was screaming at Sam. Everyone had heard the sickening pop sound. The shop owner had turned on his heal and phone the police. It was one this to have an argument in his shop, but to be assaulted he wouldn't put up with that.

Pete picked up the velvet box from the table and on his way out of the restaurant. He tossed his parting shot over his shoulder. "You never really were that good. It's lucky your good at manipulating people, you certainly couldn't sleep your way to the top you're just not that interesting." And with that he left.

The pain in Sam's arm was equally matched with the pain in her heart. She had heard what he said so did everyone else there. Her confidence shattered she tried to pick herself up to walk out of that shop with at least some of her dignity intact. But as Sam tried to get to her feet the world started to swim. Her last conscious thought was how she wanted Jack there.

A/N I know I'm truly evil... I'll post the next part soon. I still not happy with it but it's getting there.
