A/N. Sorry it took me so long to update but I had a problem with word on my lap top so I had to write the story again on my mums lap top but then my USB key broke as well (its really not been my month!) Anyways my dad FINALLY fixed my lap top and so here is the next part of 'I Think I Love Ya'. Hopefully it lives up to expectations.

Regs Suck!

Sam was lying in bed with her commanding officer after blowing the fraternisation regulations so far out of the water that they couldn't be seen anymore from Earths surface without the aid of Jacks telescope. She realised that she didn't care, that everything she had wanted for the past few years was right here. They obviously hadn't planned to blatantly ignore the regs until this point and they were still air force officers but she loved this man, what was she going to do when she inevitably had to give him up.

"Do you think it's wrong that this feels so right?" Sam asked suddenly. She had been absent mindedly tracing gate symbols on Jacks chest beside her.

"Why?" he asked drawing her closer to him.

"Well we're ignoring all the frat regs just by me being here, yet it doesn't feel wrong, we're breaking the law and the oaths we swore to the country yet this just feels … right"

"I know … Sam you don't regret last night do you?"

"No, I came here remember" she smiled.

"I know you said that you were ok with a secret relationship but I just want to make sure the secret bit is our best option, so we have to make a choice"

"Yes we do"

"Ok, so lets go through our options"

"Ok, well we could go back to just being C.O. and 2IC"

"Could you?"

"No, I definitely couldn't do that, so that ones a no, ok … option number two one of us retires"

"Ok, you can't retire, you've still got loads of field time left and are too vital to the SGC to just be a civilian and I could retire but I'd be so afraid every time you went on a mission without me to back you up that I'd probably end up resenting the fact that I did resign and then by extension the air force for the stupid frat reg"

"By extension?" Sam queried looking up at him with a sparkle in her eyes.

"I guess you and Daniel have been rubbing off on me more than I'd like"

"Ok" she laughed and then started thinking hard, "Well the only other option I see is that we sneak around until one of us is forced to retire or until we're out of direct our chain of command, like if I get transferred to another team"

"Would you really want to transfer to another team?"

"No, but if it meant being able to kiss you in public then it's a small price to pay"

"I know what you mean but we can't just ask for a transfer without General Hammond asking why, what are you gonna say 'gee sir I slept with the colonel and now I want to be able to do so again on a regular basis without being court marshalled'" Jack joked as Sam playfully hit him on the arm.

"No, I was thinking more along the lines of, 'Sir being exposed to the colonels ever increasing sarcasm is starting to affect my ability to reverse engineer goa'uld technology'"

"Smart arse"

"Thank you"

They were both silent for a second as they thought through the options and Sam finally spoke.

"Well, I think we can keep it to ourselves for the time being as neither of us are ready to give up our careers yet and as SG1, the four of us do kick ass, this thing between us has never affected the way we give or follow orders before, if anything I think its made us stronger"

"Yeah its just the D.C. beaurocrats that think that every person within the air force chains of commands that get involved change how they give orders, have they seen how many times we've almost died for Earth, jeez"

She had to smile at that. He was right, but Sam wasn't in the mood to discuss those options anymore, she had waited eight years for last night and SG1 was on down time for the next two days, she could think of much better ways to occupy their time.

Hours later, after they had been in the shower (Jack had insisted on sharing) they were sat in Jacks living room watching an old re run of Wormhole X-treme when the phone rang.

"Hello" Jack answered, "Oh hey Danny boy"

Sam jerked her head up at this remembering their conversation the night before.

"What no space monkey I haven't heard from Sam … Really … well if I see her I'll tell her you called … yeah … bye Daniel, I'll see you Monday bright and early" he hung up the phone and turned to Sam, "Sooo had a little talk wit Space monkey yesterday huh?" he questioned with a glint in his eye.

"Well technically it was this morning but yeah, I did, I'm sure I mentioned it" she sighed and cuddled her head closer into Jacks shoulder. Sam's cell suddenly started ringing and she sighed again, this time out of exasperation, "I wonder who this could be … Carter" she answered her cell with typical military efficiency, "Hey Daniel … yeah I know what I said I was gonna … Daniel Jackson? Do you kiss Janet with that mouth" she smirked at the obviously indignant reply on the other end of the line, "Sure you don't Daniel .. uh huh I believe ya … ok well that's just put it this way what I told ya last night about how I feel about Jack, that's how I know you feel about Janet … why didn't I tell him … I did its just we both know that at the moment there's nothing we can do about the regs so we've decided to wait" she felt a little bad lying to him about that but the more people that knew about them now would mean that their secret would be more likely to be discovered, "Daniel, Jack probably told you that to stop asking him questions … because I'm guessing … ok I'll see you Monday Daniel, bye" and with that she hung up the phone.

"Did he buy it?" Jack asked standing up and taking her hand to lead her towards the bedroom before another distraction arrived.

"I think so" she smirked.

Monday came all too quickly and before Sam knew it, she and Jack were arriving at the SGC in separate cars and heading off to work. It didn't take long for Jack to get bored and come looking for Sam. She smiled as he walked into the room and started playing with one of the new devices that SG11 brought back with them from their last mission to PX8 943.

"I haven't looked at that Sir you might not want to play with it" she suggested taking the small square shaped device from him, keeping contact with his hand a little longer than strictly

necessary. She then replaced the item with his game boy that was on the side in her lab. After about half an hour he turned it off and turned back to Sam.

"What bored already?" she smirked.

"I've played this game so many times that I know how to complete it way too easily" he replied.

"Well get a new game then" she suggested with a shrug.

"I've tried but d'ya know how hard it is to find the Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban game" he sulked. Sam's head shot up to look at Jack with a small smile playing her features.

"Harry Potter?" she questioned.

"What" Jack defended, "Potter is great, Cassie got me into it"

"I know the Harry Potter books are great but I didn't think that you would be into it" her smiled widened.

"Yes well … so Carter, its lunch time" he stood up from his stool, "Let's go have something to eat"

"Sir, I really need to finish this off first" she protested but Jack had an ace to use now (instead of ordering her to go have something for lunch).

"Sam …" he whined and it worked too.

"Ok lets go" she smiled and then leant close to him to whisper, "And its not fair to use my name against me … Jack" she said and drew his name out seductively. However just as she was doing this they were interrupted by an arrival at the door.

"Colonel! Major! What is going on in here?" General Hammond bellowed causing them to spring apart and come to attention.

"Sir!" Sam exclaimed, "We were just discussing Harry Potter Sir" she blushed as she said it and risked a quick glance at Jack who had his poker face firmly in place.

"Harry Potter Colonel?" he questioned of Jack.

"I happened to mention I wanted the game and we were discussing it" he said simply.

"And that's why Major Carter was whispering in your ear?" he questioned with a quick glance at Sam who blushed again but Jack shrugged and came up with an excuse straight away.

"She was embarrassed that she likes Harry Potter as well Sir" he shrugged, "She didn't want everyone to know"

"Ok well, Major I was passing so I thought I'd inform you that I'd like you to brief the new recruits on the standard procedures for gate travel, its this Monday, I would ask the Colonel but we all know how much he loves briefings"

"Yes Sir, I'll put together the presentation" Sam replied.

"Good well carry on" he said and turned to leave but then turned back, "And try and keep things a little more innocent appearing in the future, I don't want airmen coming into my office saying that they have witnessed inappropriate behaviour if its as innocent as the Harry Potter thing" he smiled and walked out of the room. Sam turned to Jack.

"Ok, that was close, no more reference to our personal lives on the base what do ya say?" she suggested.

"Sounds good, weren't we talking about having some lunch before Hammond came in?" he gestured towards the door.

"Sweet, lead the way Colonel" she smirked and used his expression.
