A/N: I hope you enjoyed the last chapter. Hopefully I will be able to post more quickly for the next few days. The teachers in the province I live in are on strike so I'll have a lot of time to complete this story. Thanks to my beta.

Jack ran his hand along the cave floor, skimming over discarded clothing until he found what he was looking for. He turned the volume on the radio almost off so that he didn't wake Sam up. He said sleepily into the radio, "Hello, General."

"Colonel, why did it take you so long to respond?"

'Because I was asleep with a beautiful woman.' Was the first thing that came to mind, but he said, "Sorry Sir, I was asleep. Carter was jumped be a Jaffa patrol when she went to go fill up the canteens, so I spent most of the night taking care of her, Sir." Jack replied into the radio.

"Is she okay?" The General asked worriedly

"She's fine Sir, aside from some minor cuts, bruises, and several hours of unconsciousness." He said tightening the arm that was around Sam. "She's asleep at the moment Sir."

"Good, now listen carefully Colonel, I have a lot to tell you and only a few minutes to do it in."

"All right sir, you have my full attention," He said. Jack felt Sam shift in her sleep, 'Well, maybe not my full attention sir.' He kissed the top of Sam's head.

"Good, your reinforcements will be there by..." The General paused, he was finding out what time it was, 1755. "..0900 tomorrow morning. We will be sending Sg-5 and a medical team to collect you and Major Carter. Another seven teams will reclaim the ruins from the Gou'ald."

"Okay Sir. Radio us when you come busting' in."

General Hammond chuckled. "We'll talk to you at 0900 tomorrow. Hammond out."

Jack put down the radio just as Sam was waking up. "Morning sleepyhead." He said affectionately to her.

"Morning." She said into his bare chest, which she was now quite comfortably lying on.

"General Hammond just checked in," Jack said, "He says that reinforcements will be here at 0900 tomorrow. SG-5 and a medical team will be coming to 'collect' us and seven other teams will be going to go after the ruins."

"That's good." Sam said sadly.

Noting the sadness in her voice, Jack asked, "What's wrong?"

"What's going to happen with us? I mean, I don't want to end this, with you." Very quietly she added, "I love you Jack."

"I don't want to end this either. I love you too, Sam." After a moment he said, "Let's keep it quiet, at least for now. On base we'll be Colonel and Major, off base we'll be Jack and Sam."

"What if were caught?"

"Then..." Jack thought about it for a moment, "I'll retire."

Sam rolled off of Jack's chest, he complained greatly at this, she put a hand on his shoulder and pulled him up. Now they were laying just like they were when Sam had first regained consciousness. They were laying face to face, touching everywhere except they're faces, "I love you, Jack." Sam said as she kissed him.

"I love you too Sam." Jack said when they ended the kiss. Then his stomach rumbled. "Ya want something to eat, cuz I'm really hungry."

Sam giggled, "Yeah, some food would be good now."

"All right." Jack said. After kissing Sam, Jack got up, pulled on his pants and t-shirt, threw on his jacket and limped over to where the M.R.E.s were. "Uh oh," he said to himself, "Uh, Sam."

"Yeah." Was the sleepy reply.

"We only have one ration pack left."

"Oh," Sam rolled over, shivering slightly as a wave of cold air hit her bare leg, "So, we'll share."

Jack looked down at the M.R.E. in his hands. Shrugging his shoulders he said, "Okay."

Hope you enjoyed it. Please R&R
