--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sam awoke to the sound and smell of bacon. She looked around, dazed at first, and then remembering why she was there. Glancing at the empty coffee cup on the table next to the sofa, she realized that she was starving, and got up. Jack was at the stove making breakfast.
"Hey. You're not supposed to be up!" Sam said.
Jack jumped about 3 feet in the air. He whirled around, and swayed violently. Sam grabbed him around the waist, and held him, gently rubbing his back.
"God, you scared me." He whispered, clinging to her so he didn't fall over.
"I'm sorry, Sir. But you know the orders, and you have 5 weeks off for a reason. We're going to get you back into bed, and you're going to stay there. Have you had breakfast?"
Jack shook his head, then swayed again.
"Ugh. I feel terrible. But I don't want to go to bed." Jack protested. He would fight all the way, and they both knew it.
"I don't care, Sir. We're not on base anymore, and I'm in charge, so you're going to do as you're told." Sam said, as sternly as she could. "Oh, and seeing as we're not on base, I would like you to call me Sam please. She thought it was hilariously funny to see her CO under her control. "This could be fun." She thought.
They staggered into Jack's room, Sam holding him up to make sure he didn't collapse. She made him lean on her as she pulled his sheets all the way back (seeing as he hadn't made his bed) so she could get him into bed. She gently laid him down, Jack letting her control his body. His eyes fluttered but he still had a firm grip on her arms. She brought his body up to hers and cradled him like she had wanted to the night before. He could feel himself drifting off to sleep, but not before two tears escaped his closed eyes. As Sam laid him back down, she saw his tears glistening on his calm face. She wiped them away, and placed a light kiss on his forhead. She hadn't know that he was still awake, and that his tears where there because he knew he could never have her.

Sam sighed to herself. She hadn't bothered with breakfast. The bacon had burned, and, knowing her cooking tecniques, she wasn't going to try and make some more. She was frustrated and confused. Why had she let herself do that? For heavan's sake, she was getting married. But at the time, she couldn't hold back all the feelings she had ever had for Jack O'Neill. While she wasn't married, she would allow herself to do those small things, when he was asleep, of course. Just then, her phone rang.
"Carter."
"Hey Sammie, baby."
"Hiya, Pete." Sam replied. Although she knew she had to keep her mind off Jack, she wasn't in the mood for talking on the phone.
"So, how's it goin'?"
"Oh, it's been really... good. I woke up just a few minutes ago. Jack was out of bed, so I had to get him back to bed, and he's sound asleep now."
"That's great, honey." Pete said, not sounding the least bit interested. Sam heard a voice in the background, and Pete, thinking Sam couldn't hear him said "It's nobody. Just my wife."
"Is that all I am? A nobody? Just the wife? I'm not even your wife yet Pete!" Sam exclaimed to a very surprised, and scared, Pete.
"No honey. It's not true, baby. I didn't say that. I didn't say anything." His answer was rushed. Sam rolled her eyes.
"I wasn't born yesterday, Peter." And with that, she hung up. And turned her phone off.
She crossed her arms over her chest and fumed.
"Jesus, I don't know what I even see in him. Why did I say yes? God. If that's what he really thinks of me then-- Wait, no. Calm. Think calm. Arguments happen. That's no reason to have second thoughts on marriage. He probably didn't know what else to say. No reason to loose your head, Sam." Even as she told herself this, she was still mad as hell to be referred to as "Just the wife."

A/N: That's all for now. Sorry it's short, but it's 3.15 in the morning and I'm tired. Little intimate moment with Sam and Jack there. :) Don't worry. More to come. LOTS more. Hope you enjoyed that too. Please review! I need motivation.
