"Yeah; it was worth the wait," Jack said, looking at Sam hoping she would understand she was worth the wait. Sam just smiled and went back to her taco.

A History of The O'Neill's

"So Jack," Daniel said, "how did you get this place?"

"Well," Jack started with a smile," My mom's family owned all the land." He pointed to the mountain and the forest all around them. "And they built a cabin not too far from here, and before the war it was my mom's house. When the war started she went to be a nurse and met my dad who was a soldier. After the war, they got married and lived in Minnesota until my little brothers were born. My dad built another cabin for the new family, but he died shortly after it was finished. I was 12 and my brothers were both 4 with my little sister on the way." Jack stopped to let the new information sink in for his team mates; they had never known this much about him.

Sam spoke up softly. "Wow Jack, I never knew about your brothers and your sister. Your dad died when you were 12? No wonder you're so good with kids; you basically raised your brothers and your sister. I ... what happened to them all, Jack? You never talk about them." Sam finished, never realizing what Jack had been through as a child.

"Well," Jack started with a sigh - Sam's questions must have hit home - "my little sister and my mom and one of the twins are all living in different parts of the US. Brianna is married with two little girls, Jessica and Megan. Scott is married and has three kids, Elizabeth who is 8, Kevin who is 5, and little Amber who is 3. My other brother, Kevin, died in the Gulf. We were both flyboys and on the recon mission to free my team he was shot down," Jack added, looking straight into his plate of food. "My dad, Charlie, died from a drug overdose."

Sam was so sad for Jack. "Wow, Jack I never knew." Her eyes got a misty haze over them as she remembered the death of her own father and the pain of her mother's death when she was just a teen. Sam held back the tears, trying not to draw attention to herself.

Jack had already seen her try to hide her tears and just pulled her in for a hug and stroked her hair, whispering in her ear.

When Sam had pulled herself back together, she spoke up. "So, are there any trails around here we could go walk?"

Jack was surprised. It seemed as if all they did on missions was walk around; this trip was full of surprises! "Well yes, there are a couple," he said, "but when do you guys have to head back?" He turned to look at Daniel and Teal'c.

"Well," Daniel started, "we have to be back by tonight. So we should leave soon."

"Okay then," Sam said. "You guys just chill out and get packed - we'll do all the clean up."

"Thanks Sam," Daniel said.

"Indeed; thank you Samantha," Teal'c said with a nod of his head.

Jack couldn't help but smile when Sam turned to take all the dishes into the kitchen; she had a great body, and all those years of watching her six hadn't been bad at all.

Daniel noticed the smile and said, "You love her, don't you?"

"Daniel!" Jack was outraged at what the younger man had said. "Well, um ...". Jack did love Sam, and he calmed down soon. "Well Danny, yes I do," he said in a quick breath.

"So then, when are you going to tell her?" Daniel asked.

"Well, before we both leave the SGC, so soon, I think," Jack said. "But Danny, saying you love someone to that person isn't a walk in the park, especially if that person is Sam."

"Well you should spend as much time together as you can and remember, Sam is like my little sister, so since you can relate, you would understand that if you hurt her Teal'c and I know a couple places that aren't happily ever after," Daniel said very seriously.

"Yeah I know. Whenever I came home from school and my sister had a new boyfriend I would tell him just that ... well, and add in how well I was doing in my fighting class, just to scare him a bit," Jack said with a light laugh, remembering how many teenage boys would be frightened to touch Brianna when he was in town.

"Well, we should start packing," Daniel said walking into the cabin, and heading to his room to pack his things.

Jack then headed to the kitchen, where Sam was lost in thought when he came in in full Black Ops mode. When he reached the door, he just stopped and looked at her - God, she was hot! She looked great even washing the dishes. Jack stepped towards Sam and placed his arms around her waist.

Sam, not even flinching, continued the dishes. Since they were alone, Jack placed kisses along her neck and cheek. Sam smiled at his touch.

Soon after his arrival, she was done. After Jack had kissed her neck he just rested his head in her neck, enjoying her scent. Once she was done she turned around, not leaving Jack's embrace, to face him and say, "We should go say goodbye to Daniel and Teal'c".

Jack just smiled a wicked grin and kissed Sam's lips. "Or we could do this, and they could find their own way out," he said in a low voice before kissing her passionately.

When the kiss ended, it took Sam a minute to talk again. "Jack; we are going to have time to do this later. We should go see our friends off," she said.

Jack thought about her offer and decide to go outside and say goodbye to the rest of SG-1. When they got outside, Danny and T had packed the car, and were waiting to say all the goodbyes. When everyone was in their places Daniel started the car and drove off down the dirt road to head back to the SGC.

Before Daniel left he told Sam that if Jack hurt her at all to tell him. And if so, he would kick his ass back to Ba'al's home world ... or something along those lines because Ba'al's home world had been destroyed by them.

Sam didn't know what he was talking about; she would ask Jack what he meant. When the car was out of sight Jack put his arms around her and kissed her, then said, "So, you still up for a walk?"

"Yeah, I am; let's put some stuff together," Sam said turning to go back inside, but Jack didn't let go.

"Sam, you just pack stuff you will need for one night," Jack said, placing a small kiss on her lips before adding, "One special night."

Sam understood. "Okay, then should I help you with a pack for us?"

"NO," Jack said quickly, "no, I'll pack that up, you just worry about yourself."

Sam nodded. Whatever Jack had planned for tonight, it was going to be good. Jack always had a plan, one of the many things she loved about him.

Sam went into her room and put together some clothes that Jack would love; she didn't even know why they were still in her bag, but she packed them.

Jack was packing some interesting things in his pack as well. Sam would love where he was planning to take her.

Sam came out to see Jack all packed up ready to go. Jack was waiting for Sam in the living room when she walked out in jeans and a white tank top; she looked great.

"Sam, you really didn't need to change but, you look ... amazing," Jack said.

"Thanks Jack; let's go!" Sam said.

"Let's go!" Taking Sam's hand, he led her to the path he knew so well, taking her to the house he had grown up in his cabin, the one that was so close to him. His grandfather John's old mansion.
