The man sat at the bar with a beer in hand. He watched as people came into the restaurant sober and left drunk. He was one of the few in there that wasn't drunk. He watched as a kind of heavyset guy sat down in the bar stool next to him. He ordered a beer and then turned to General Jack O'Neill.

"Nice night isn't it." The chubby man stated more than asked.

"I guess so." Jack O'Neill replied. Truth be told it wasn't really all that nice out. Winter had just appeared in Colorado Springs and it was already freezing out.

"Something wrong?" The man asked. There was something weird about this guy and he was going to figure out what.

Jack finished his beer and sat the empty glass down.

The bar tender looked at him and asked, "Another one General?"

He nodded and turned back to chubby. "No not really." He said answering the man's earlier question.

"So you're a general huh. My girlfriend is a colonel in the air force. Always away on business. I moved here to spend time with her but I've only seen her once this week. I think I saw her more when I lived in Denver!" He laughed a little but noticed that the general wasn't laughing so he stopped.

"If you don't mind me asking. Why are you telling me all of this?" Jack wasn't in the mood. He had a bad day at work and he came here to get away from it all only to get stuck sitting next to some nerd who wanted to talk.

"I thought I would try and make a few friends since I am going to be living here for a while. I asked her to marry me."

"Really? What she say?" He was going to try and play friendly.

"She hasn't answered yet. I asked her two weeks ago and she still hasn't made up her mind. I think there might be someone else in her life I'm just not sure who. She works with a lot of guys and I know she is close to a lot of them. Her best friends are guys, which kind of makes me worried. Ya know. Like she is always spending time with them and not me. They are always going out to eat or over to each other's house. She calls them team nights. I'm not worried about two of the guys. She talks about them like brothers but there is this one guy. I guess he's a general also. That's what she calls him but she is always talkin' 'bout him. The general this or the general that. Isn't like against the rules for her to have a relationship with him?"

"Doesn't mean she can't like him. One of my colonels is my best friend." Jack said not mentioning that he wished she were more than that to him.

The other man sensed more so he asked, "But you wish there was more?"

Jack O'Neill looked at the guy and finally nodded. "Sometimes. I've worked with her for eight years. We were a team and best friends but I don't know what happened. I started to feel more for her. I guess that was kind of normal considering the work that we did. It was normal for people in the same chain of command to be close. We saved each other's lives on many occasions but I always thought that she would be mine somehow. Like when I retire she would be there but she met this guy. A real jerk ya know and he asked her to marry him. She asked me a couple days ago what she should do. What was I supposed to say? No don't do it stay with me I love you. I don't think so. I couldn't do that to her. She finally finds someone who she can be with and even though I want to be that one I want her to be happy. She deserves that and so much more." Jack finished.

"Wow. Ya know if you care about her that much you should go after her. Tell her how you feel cause if you don't she might not do the right thing." Chubby said.

Jack felt a buzzing in his pocket. He pulled out his phone and answered it.

"O'Neill."

"Hi sir!"

"Hey Carter what's up?" He asked as he took a sip from his second beer.

"Not much. I wanted to now if you and the guys wanted to come over tonight maybe watch a movie and order pizza. I was going to invite Pete so you could meet him."

"Pete?"

Chubby turned around at the sound of his name and noticed that it was the general that spoke it. Figuring that it was a different Pete he turned back to the TV in the corner and continued to watch the game.

"Yeah, I was going to call him a little later. I bet he is at the bar so I wanted to give him sometime to relax."

"All right Carter. I'll be there in about 15 minutes." Jack agreed figuring he was going to have to meet this Pete in person sometime why not do it tonight he was already in a bad mood couldn't make it much worst.

"All right see you then sir." Sam said before she hung up.

Jack sighed as he got up from the bar and paid the bar tender for the drinks. He said goodbye to the other man at the bar and chubby wished him luck.
