Here's the long over due chapter!


As Sam disappeared into the bedroom area, she can't help but stop and take a moment just to digest what had happened in the pass half an hour. I can't believe he's really here. As if sensing her doubt, soft mutters of Jack can be heard from where she's standing. She took a look around the bedroom and saw Jack's bag lying besides the bed. Where is he going to sleep tonight? She took a second look around the room and decided that the bed's big enough for the two of them to share. A smile creep onto her face as she let the idea of having a warm body to cuddle next to set into her mind.

Sam put down her uniform jacket and her briefcase and walked towards to bathroom. As she walked into the bathroom, she immediately saw her bubble bath and began to draw herself a nice warm bath. After testing the water, she let herself enjoy the feel of warm water around her and her mind began to wonder. If only I don't have to work tomorrow. Sam sighed and decided to spend every second she can with the man in the kitchen currently trying to save dinner. She chuckled as she remembered the sight of the kitchen. Thank god I don't have to clean it up.

It took a while for Sam to relax and freshen up and when she did she found herself sitting on the bed, hugging a pillow to herself and thinking. It was almost five months since General Hammond had the "talk" with them, almost four months since everyone on the base knew about their new "relationship". Granted, nobody on base is supposed to know it but the base grapevine has its sources and besides, there's the base pool thing that needed to be resolved. The winner remained unnamed but Sam had a feeling that it's a certain doctor she knows. Life had changed and she's happy with the changes. Sure, they had their moments. How can they not when the both of them are so stubborn. But she got to see the side of O'Neill that's hidden under the shell of sarcastic-stubborn Colonel. Sam chucked as she remembered the first time she met Jack. She can't imagine her life without him and what's in store of their future. But for the first time in her life, Samantha Carter wasn't afraid of the unpredictable because life with Jack O'Neill is any but predictable.

"Sam?" Jack called from the kitchen wondering what's taking her so long.

It wasn't until hearing his voice that she remembered he's in the kitchen salvaging their dinner.

"I'll be out in a sec." She answered and put down the pillow. Well, there's no point in sitting here thinking about the life with the man when I can just go and see for myself. Sam went out the room with a warming smile on her face.
