Only Fools

Rated: G

Season: 9?

Spoilers: Sort of, but not really. A bit from a rumor I've heard about season 9, but it's probably something you've heard anyway, and, if you haven't, I still don't think it will spoil the new season for you. I don't think…

Disclaimer: Maybe we could start a petition! 1000 signatures and we can all own Stargate. Who's with me…? Guys…? Anybody?

Summary: What did wise men know about love anyway? Enjoy!

A/N: Hey everyone! I'm in such a writing mood today! I hope you enjoy this story! The song is "Can't Help Falling in Love" by Elvis Presley.

ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Sam set her glass of coke on the kitchen counter and stepped out onto the deck. She slid the door shut softly, muting the sounds of the party only slightly. Time to find the guest of honour. He must have slipped out some time after the toasts. Not that she could blame him.

"A little chilly out here, isn't it?"

He turned around in surprise and shrugged. "I didn't notice."

She moved to stand beside him and leaned her arms on the railing.

"You know," she began uncertainly. "You don't have to think of this as a going-away party."

"I don't?"

"Nope. Well, it's still a going-away party, but that doesn't have to be a bad thing."

"Why not?"

The music from inside moved to a slower tempo. It was a song Sam knew well. She remembered listening to her father sing it to her mother when they'd thought she and Mark had long since fallen asleep.

She took his hand in hers.

"Because now we can do this without worrying about staying twenty-four inches apart."

He pulled her close against him, and she rested her cheek on his shoulder.

"This is nice," he muttered into her hair.

Wise men say only fools rush in
But I can't help falling in love with you

It had just happened. Unstoppable. When? She wasn't sure. There'd been something when she'd first met him, but it had grown into something stronger and deeper and better since then.

Shall I stay
Would it be a sin
If I can't help falling in love with you

Who'd ever thought it was wise to deny love?

Like a river flows surely to the sea
Darling so it goes
Some things are meant to be

Everyone thought she and Jonas had made the perfect couple. Her family, even her dad had fallen to his charms. They'd been so wrong. Martouf had been certain they should be together. But he was in love with Jolinar. How would she have ever known if he truly loved her? Then there was Pete. He had seemed the logical choice… the wise choice. She'd turned out the fool for trying to believe she could live a lie.

Take my hand, take my whole life too
For I can't help falling in love with you

Jack squeezed her hand against his chest and raised it to his lips for a soft kiss. She wrapped her other arm tighter around his back.

Like a river flows surely to the sea
Darling so it goes
Some things are meant to be

They'd both had chances to choose another. To live a normal life. They'd both let those chances go.

So what if they were fools?

Take my hand, take my whole life too
For I can't help falling in love with you
For I can't help falling in love with you

What did wise men know about love anyway?

ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

The End

ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
