KAFA is actually a radio station on Colorado Springs. If I remember correctly it's the Air Force Academy Radio. I assumed Jack would listen to it. And I absolutely love this song. It is so romantic, and I thought it fit Sam and Jack perfectly. Thanks to my reviewers (mishy-mo, Virago500, Leilinam sara611).

Chapter 12: Sam's courage

We walk out of Hammond's office, both feeling extremely elated and relieved.

"Meet you topside in ten?" Jack asks.

"Okay."

Seven minutes later I get there. Jack is already waiting by his truck. God, what is that man trying to do to me. Even just in jeans and a t-shirt, he's making me drool.

"Hey"

"Hey. Your place or mine?" he asks

I smile at him as we both get in my truck. "Yours."

We drive there in silence, the only noise from the slight buzz of the radio.

And now the new hit from Ronan Keating, 'When You Say Nothing at All' on Radio KAFA.

It's amazing how you can speak right to my heart.
Without saying a word, you can light up the dark.
Try as I may I can never explain,
What I hear when you don't say a thing.

The smile on your face lets me know that you need me.

There's a truth in your eyes saying you'll never leave me.
The touch of your hand says you'll catch me wherever I fall.
You say it best when you say nothing at all.

All day long I can hear people talking out loud,
But when you hold me near you drown out the crowd.
Try as they may they can never define,
What's been said between your heart and mine.

The smile on your face lets me know that you need me.

There's a truth in your eyes saying you'll never leave me.
The touch of your hand says you'll catch me wherever I fall.
You say it best when you say nothing at all.

Jack grabs my hand and gives it a gentle squeeze. I do it back. I relax against the seat and close my eyes, Jack's hand still in mine.

The smile on your face lets me know that you need me.

There's a truth in your eyes saying you'll never leave me.
The touch of your hand says you'll catch me wherever I fall.
You say it best when you say nothing at all.

You say it best when you say nothing at all.

You say it best when you say nothing at all.

The smile on your face, the truth in your eyes.
The touch of your hand let's me know that you need me

That song was almost too perfect. I can totally relate to it. I've always known how Jack has felt about me and vice versa. It really has been like we could read each other's minds. Even in the field, I knew what Jack's orders would be before he even said them.

We soon pull into the driveway and get out and enter Jack's house.

"So…" Jack says, the first words either of us has said since we left the SGC. "Do you want a drink of something? Beer? Coffee? Beer?"

I smile at that. "Beer's fine thanks." While he goes into the kitchen, I wander into his living room and sit down on the couch. I've been here enough on team nights to know my way around. But never without Teal'c and Daniel before this.

Jack comes back in and hands me my beer before taking a sip of his. "Thanks."

He sits down next to me. A few minutes of uncomfortable silence passes. Neither of us are quite sure where to go from here. I finally gather my courage and start the conversation.

"Jack," God, I love saying that. "I know we talked before at the park, but I still think we need to find out what we want. Make sure we're on the same page."

He nods slowly. "I've been thinking the same thing. So, what have you decided?"

Great, he had to ask me first. Well, this courage thing has gone alright so far, so here goes. "I don't want to really rush things, but I don't want to take things really slowly either."

"Same. We've got four years to catch up on anyway." I smile slightly.

We sit in silence again, this time a comfortable one. After a few minutes I hear a faint 'For crying out loud!' before Jack grabs my hand and slowly pulls me towards him. Running a hand through my hair, he slowly leans down and touch his lips against mine. I respond. I put my arms around his waist, pulling us closer together. It's a slow kiss, but filled everything that we've kept inside us all this time and also all the hope for the future. Eventually he pulls away, but I'm not quite ready to finish this yet. This time I initiate the kiss, putting all my passion into it this time. And he kisses me back with equal passion. God, that man can kiss.

The kiss just intensefies by the minute and I manage to blurt out a quick 'bedroom' between kisses.

YAY! I'm glad I finally got to this point. Anway, hopefully I'll be writing the next chapter soon.

Please review:-D
