Sorry that this has taken so long to continue…I could have sworn I posted it when I posted a chapter for my other story! Sorry about that!
This is the last chapter, but there is one more 'chapter' that I am going to submit under this story. That chapter will be the note that was left from Kerry to Jack.
Also, sorry that its so short, but I didn't think that this chapter needed to be to long, otherwise I felt that it would be to dragged out.
Thank you to everyone who has read my story and reviewed!
Please review!
The car ride home was a long, lonesome one. The whole of her conversation with Jack was still lingering in her thoughts.
Her thoughts continued as she neared her house. She thought about all of the times she had been with Jack.
The first time they met in the briefing room before going on the mission to Abydos; when they were in Antarctica, and thought they were on another planet; when he wouldn't leave her on Apophis' ship when their armbands had fallen off; when he had to admit he 'cares about her a lot more than he's supposed to' or else they would think him to be a Zatarc; when he so-freely admitted he had feelings for her when they lost their memories, and were mining on an ice planet.
She couldn't even remember when she first realized that she loved him.
Up until now she realized that she had never said that she loved Jack out loud. Except when she was alone on Prometheus, and admitted to herself she loved him; when Jack had been standing in front of her, no more than a figment of her imagination. When Jack had been captured by Ba'al, she thought she might have lost him forever.
When she got to her house she went inside and sat on the window seat.
She continued her thoughts.
At least he knew. He knew that she loved him, and she knew he loved her.
She wasn't going to worry about it any more. It wasn't like these thoughts weren't going to cross her mind again. It was just that for now her and Jack weren't going to be together.
She could live with that. She could live with that for a while.
Jack pulled up to his house and went inside. He got another beer out of the fridge and laid down on the couch.
He stared at the ceiling. He sipped his beer as he too thought about the previous days. He thought about how much he went against regulations the past few days. Admitting that he was in love with his second in command.
No one could know.
At least he knew. Him and Sam. It made him feel better to know that.
He was fine with things the way they were. He wanted to be with Sam, but at this point at least he was one step closer to knowing that one day they could be together-and that was good for him.
At least they knew. It was much better than living out their lives day to day, not knowing…always wondering.
Whether they would end up together in 'the end' or not…well…there was no telling.
It wasn't a matter of whether they cared more about their jobs than each other. They definitely cared more about each other than their jobs.
It was more of whether or not they were important. They were important to their jobs. They were important to the world. The world is a big responsibility. One that they held.
Someday, they would be together. Maybe not today, or tomorrow, but someday. And just knowing that was good enough for them.
I'm sorry again that this is so short and that it took so long! I hope you liked reading this story, I know that I had fun writing it. Thanks again for all of your reviews!
