Chapter 5 - Truth

Jack eased himself on the bed fully aware of what might be. He felt his rugged body melt away to the inviting cushions of the bed. His mind was full of thoughts, of contradictions … of Sam. She was still his 21C and he was still her CO but he had loved her all this time keeping his feelings at bay. He had it all planned out once he retired, he would step up to the plate. He had mapped it all out like a black ops mission, how he would propose in the most romantic way. Sam would have tears in her eyes accepting his proposal and they would passionately kiss for the first time. All of their families and friends would be there at their wedding and their honeymoon in his cabin. He did not want their first union to be here in a galaxy far far away.

Sam also got in her side of the bed. She instantly felt the embracing mattress cradle every part of her sensuous body. Every bit of the blanket and mattress felt like millions of fingers running up and down her body. She wanted him so much. She knew that Jack was at the other end of the bed. So near and yet so far. She also knew too well that Jack would not do anything out of place. For she knew that if they consummate it tonight, their careers were over. Sam felt Jack moving and pretending to be asleep. Then she felt a hand on her shoulders.

"Sam , I know you are not asleep. Could you please turn around." Now even in the darkness, Jack could see Sam's face. "I know we have known each other all these years. But is there anything you would like to ask me. Anything you want to know? Anything at all."

Sam was caught off guard by the question. She had tried to play in her mind what she would say and do when this moment came. But she never realized that this was going to be the question. Sam could not think of any questions to ask Jack. " I don't know what to ask you , sir"

"Well for starters, I think you should call me Jack. And since you can't think of any questions, I shall start then."

So Jack started telling Sam about himself. He started by mentioning his family, his mother, father and three brothers. He said that is mother was a teacher and his father a musician. All of his three brothers were professionals in their own right. He had been the only one who went into the air force because he loved flying and was a very rebellious young man. That the air force had given him focus. He told her how being the eldest, he was the leader of the pack and the many mischievous things he got his brothers into. They would both laughed at times while he told her of the crazy stuff they did. Then Jack told Sam about Sarah and Charlie. How he had blamed himself for Charlie's death. It was his gun that he left on the top closet. He thought it was high enough, that Charlie could not reach it. He blamed himself because he left the clip beside the gun, when SOP dictates that they should always be in different areas. Jack tried hard not to cry but the pain was there. Sam too cried for she felt his pain.

After Jack had calmed down, he looked at Sam and asked her, "What about you ? Tell me about you. I want to know everything ."

Sam smiled and she started her own story about her brother, her mom and Jacob , her dad. She spoke of school and the air force. Growing up, she was a geek and all the boys either hated her or feared her. Since Jacob was in the military, they transferred constantly. So making long friendships was never possible.

She told him of one incident when they had transferred to another base school. She was twelve years old. She came to her math class and totally owned the place. The resident boy genius didn't like the fact that this new girl was beating him on his own turf. The boy was bigger than her and was sitting behind her. The boy every day would pull her hair. He would poke her head with his pencil or ruler. He did this every day for the next three weeks. Finally she couldn't take it any more, she stood up and shoved the books off his table on to his lap. If you know anything about science and math books they are big and heavy. All the books landed on his "you know what" , she said with a smile. He got so mad, punch her left eye and she swung back. The teacher heard the commotion and turned towards them. Everyone in the class told the teacher that the boy had been bulling Sam all this time. From that time on, no one ever bugged her again. They laughed.

Jack looked at her and said ,"wow you were a challenge even then. "

Then Sam became somber and related how her mother died. She had tears in her eye. She had blamed her father for her mother's death and that kept them apart for years. She was so glad that they are so much closer now. Jack wiped the tears from her eyes

Jack had been looking at her face. Sam was such a beautiful woman. He moved her hair softly from her face and tucked it behind her ears. Sam twitched a little feeling his warm fingers upon her ears and moved her head slightly on his hand. She looked straight at him with so much love. Jack moved his fingers slowly tracing her face. He touched her lips and she gently took his hand and gave it a kiss. Her eyes rose up to see his eyes. And she knew then that he was going to kiss her. It was a kiss that she had been waiting for all these years. Jack moved his face closer to give Sam a soft kiss on her lips.

"Wait , wait , hold it", Jack said.

"What, what's wrong Jack." Sam was taken by surprise.

"Pinch me. Pinch me. I need you to pinch me to make sure this is not a dream. I have had this exact dream for all these years. I need to know this one is the real thing." He sounded so desperate.

"Oh, this is real, Jack. Yasureyabetcha, this is real." as she put her lips upon his.

All those years of waiting vanished, regs or no regs …. they were now one.

Back at the SGC

"Wormhole engaged." Walter's voice was on the speaker.

"Who is it Walter?" asked General Hammond.

"Sir, it is the Nox, Lya." said Walter.

Walking out of the event horizon was Lya. General Hammond went down to the gate room to meet her. "I am General George Hammond. Welcome to Earth. Thank you for coming."

General Hammond led Lya to the SGC board room. He explained what had transpired in the last two days. How SG1 had gone to this world and nothing could be seen of them. That sending his men, all they could see or not see was darkness. General Hammond pointed to the universal map that they had on the visuals. Upon seeing it , Lya gave a smile and a gentle bow of her head. General Hammond sat down and waited for her to explain her reaction.

"I will assume that your SG1 team comprises of Colonel O'Neill and Major Carter?" Lya had asked and getting a nod response from Gen. Hammond , Lya again had a bigger sort of mischievous smile on her face. "The world you speak of are a very peaceful people. The darkness you pertain to is the way they protect themselves from intruders. They are a powerful, loving and peaceful people. Nothing will come ill of your team. When the time is right they will be returned to you."

"Returned to us!" said General Hammond.

"The world you seek is called Amatorius." said Lya with a smile and a gentle bow of her head.

General Hammond was not a linguist but he knew what that word meant. It meant love, loving, embracing.

Lya continued. "The Amatorians are loving gently people. One of their many powers is being able to see a persons aura. When two aura's such as Colonel O'Neill and Major Carter are present and show immense love for one another but yet unrequited, the Amatorians can't help themselves but make this union be. Once the union is consummated, they will be back on Earth."

General Hammond thought to himself. Could everyone, did everyone see what Jack and Sam felt for one another except themselves. He too could not help but give a smile.
