"Ok, Danny boy, how many times have you been asked out by any of the nurses at the SGC?" Jack O'Neill questioned. "Well let's just say far to many to count" Daniel replied taking a long swig of his beer. "OK your turn then Sam" Jack said giving his 21C a child like grin. "What will it be then? Truth or Dare?" "Um lets go with the truth shall we?" she said with a cheeky look in her eye directed at her co. "OK anything you can think of T?" jack said glancing over at the Jaffa sitting on a chair, staring at the group in what seemed to be mere mockery. "I still do not get the aim of this childish game that you are all so fondly engaged in".

"Oh come on T we are just trying to have a bit of fun" Jack said grabbing a blue Jell-O shot and throwing his head back and taking it in one large gulp. "Ah ok carter have u, um, ever had a crush on Maybourne?" "Hell No! What a stupid question" she said laughing along with Daniel, whom had quite obviously had been drinking just a little too much, well too much in Danny's case anyway.

"Your turn Sir" carter says shooting a gorgeous smile at her co. whom was sprawled on the other end of the couch to her. Beer in his hand, hair ruffled looking as handsome as ever. "Mmm, carter" he said in a muffled voice, eyeing his 21C. " I know ask him weather or not he enjoys having Janet putting needles in his butt?" Daniel said breaking down in fits of laughter. "Right, well I think its time someone put him to bed" jack said getting off up the couch and grabbing the end of the sleeping bag Daniel was in and dragging him along the floor, along the hallway and into the spare bedroom. "Good work sir, poor Daniel can't have any alcohol without going just a bit over the top."

Teal'c had followed Daniel into the spare bedroom and closed the door behind him. Leaving Jack and Sam alone in the T.V. room.

Jack looked around to make sure T and Daniel were not going to come out of the spare bedroom anytime soon and then put out his hand for Sam to take hold of it.

He led her out onto the back veranda and then guided her up the small ladder to the roof. He watched her as she smiled at the site before her. Jack had a small couch covered with blankets a pillows, and all around the balustrades were small tea lights on the handrails. "Its beautiful Jack" she said turning back to face him. " Good glad you like it". He walked over to the telescope and beckoned Sam; she walked over and placed her eye to the lens. Jack stepped behind her and placed his strong arms around her waist, perching his head in the curve of her perfect neck.

Sam was the most beautiful woman Jack had ever laid eyes on. She was intelligent, funny and incredibly gorgeous. What had Jack done to deserve her heart? He was so close to her yet still so out of reach.

She shifted, turning around to face Jack. He seemed upset so she entwined her arms around him, stroking the strong muscles of his back. "Are you ok, jack?" she questioned gazing into his gorgeously dark eyes. He stared back at her " I just cant stand it that after all we have done for the world, the fact that we still cant do anything between us without feeling guilty." "Jack don't worry bout it, you should never feel guilty about something that is so right." She said soothingly. " I love you Sam, always remember that." He said with a small smile on his lips, " I love you too Jack" she said her deep blue eyes gleaming with tears. Jack moved his hands from her waist to her face, cupping it in his strong hands, he moved closer not daring to take his eyes from her lips. Their mouths met in a soft caress, sending shivers down both their spines.
