CHAPTER TWENTY NINE

That night they all went out for some real food. They went to O'Malley's for dinner. Cassie and Janet joined them. They talked about what else had been happening on base.

"So, Jack when are you taking Sam to your cabin?"

"Tomorrow, for a week"

"Good, I hope she comes back with a tan, she needs it and so do you." Cassie said, smiling at them

"Thanks"

"Hey Sam, you could wear that new bikini while you are up there?" Janet said. That quickly got Jack's attention.

"Bikini?"

He looked between Janet and Sam and he noticed that Sam was blushing.

"Oh yeah, I have seen it Jack. I hope that you take it with you Sam."

"I might leave it at home."

"Oh, what colour is it?"

"Blue" Janet and Cassie said at the same time

"Sweet, I hope I do get a chance to see you wear it while we are up there, Sam" he waggled his eyebrows at her.

She was starting to turn red and everyone noticed it and started chuckling. Jack decided to change the subject.

"Sam, would you like a game of pool?" Jack asked

"Sure, why not?"

They picked up their drinks and walked over to where the pool tables were. Jack and Sam played a game and then she played one with her father. She had just won, when a group of marines walked over to her.

"Would you like play and make a bet?" One of them asked Sam.

"Ok, what's the bet?"

"A hundred?"

"Done."

They each put up a hundred dollars on the edge of the pool table before they started playing. The others stood around, watching them.

Jack watched Sam move around the table like a pro. He could see that she was thinking before she took each shot. In the end, Sam won the game and pocketed the money. Then she shook the guy's hand before moving over and standing next to Jack with the grin on her face that he loved so much.

"Shall we head on home? Someone has to go to school in the morning." Jack said, looking at Cassie

"Do I have to?" she wined

"Yes, come on. I promise you Cassie that I won't be fishing while Sam and I are away. We have other things on our minds."

"Please, no details Dad." she said with a cheeky grin,

He grabbed her in a headlock and rubbed her head and then he let go; she hit him in the arm.

"Come on, let's go home."

Jack put one arm around Cassie's shoulder and the other around Sam's waist. He had noticed that the marines were eyeing Sam up and down; even Cassie had noticed it, so they both acted like a happy family.

When they saw them walking out together and heard what Cassie had said, they decided to try hitting on a woman who was alone at the bar.

When Jack and the others walked outside, they pulled apart as they reached their cars and they all said their good nights.

"See you in the morning, Sam."

"Ok, what time?"

"0500, we will grab some breakfast on the way"

"Ok, see you in the morning, Jack" then they all left for their homes.

Jacob went with Sam in her car back to her place. Teal'c dropped Daniel off at home before heading to the base for the night. He was going to spend his down time with his family off world.
