Jack was heartened and angered by Sam's belligerence, though he wasn't exactly surprised by it. However, he decided to try to talk her out of it on the way up.
"Sam, you can keep in constant communication with me through that intercom. I don't want you to have to go back there."
"'Entreat me not to leave thee.'" She quoted with an air of finality.
"What happened to living your life?" He asked hotly.
"I am living my life the way I want to. 'Whither thou goest, I will go…And where thou lodgest, I will lodge; thy people shall be my people, and they God my God.'" She choked with emotion, then continued. "'Whither thou diest, will I die, and there will I be buried: the Lord do so to me, and more also, if ought but death part thee and me.'"
She had Jack close to tears, and in the back of the suburban, he took her close and kissed the top of her head. "How on earth did I ever deserve a woman like you?"
"It wasn't on Earth that you proved yourself." She whispered. "Daniel told me about…about what you said in Ba'al's prison."
Jack stared into her deep, clear blue eyes. "So, that's when this all started?"
She shook her head. "No, that just proved that you were the man I fell in love with."
Jack smiled and Sam cuddled up closer to him, grateful for the few moments in which she could actually enjoy being in his arms.
"So, what were you quoting from?" He asked, curiously.
"The first chapter of Ruth in the Old Testament."
He nodded. "It's been a long time since I read that." She looked up at him, and he leaned down to kiss her.
Meanwhile, Teal'c, Daniel, and Janet watched the whole thing unfold discreetly from the small rearview mirror in the front center of the car. And all three said a silent prayer to whatever God was out there, pleading for Sam and Jack's happiness.
Okay, I know it's sappy...but what else did you expect! I am particularly fond of that passage in the Bible, and though there aren't many references to Christianity in the series, I would expect that Sam is Christian due to the fact that Jonas Hansen (her former fiancee from "First Commandment")...It may sound far-fetched, but seeing as Christians tend tolook for other Christians in relationships, I figured it wouldn't be a huge stretch...besides, the look on her face when he said "All my life I've been looking for God, and here I am" and the fact that she was able to recite the first commandment ("Thou shalt have no gods before me...") unlike Jack who thought that the "no killing" commandment was the first one.
Anyway, here's my fic...and I hope I'm not offending anyone by adding the Christianity element...if it does offend you, then it is a beautiful piece of literature that I decided to have Samantha quote.
