Hi guys, sorry it's been so long since I've updated but as you've probably worked out by now I'm really bad at updating, it's the easter hols now so I might actually get round to writing some more.
Once again thanks for all your support and great reviews about this story it really does inspire me.
When Sam awoke the moonlight was streaming through the window bathing the room in a translucent glow. She was nestled against Jack's body his arms wrapped protectively around her, protecting her even in her sleep. She had her head on his chest the regular drumming of his heart against her ear sounded as if his heart was beating in time with her own, it was the first time that Sam had awoken truly content for as long as she could remember it was as if just being in his arms made all of her problems seem insignificant.
Sam moved her head slightly so she was able to watch him, he looked so peaceful in his sleep with his features relaxed and the frown that so often plagued his face had disappeared leaving an almost boyish look upon his face. It was almost as if he could sense that someone was watching him after only a few moments of studying the features of his face he opened one eye and grinned sleepily at her. "Morning" he said, "so last night wasn't one of the many incredibly vivid dreams I've had about you?"
Sam smiled and crawled up his body slightly so she was able to capture his lips more comfortably, "I'm afraid it wasn't a dream" she said in mock seriousness.
"Damn" he said into her mouth, Sam could feel a smile playing on his lips as he captured her mouth to deepen the kiss as his hands began to roam over her body. He broke away once from her once again and looked at her seriously, "You know it's only 4am we have at least 2 hours before the kids get up" he said waggling his eyebrows suggestively making Sam giggle. "Sammy, Sammy, Sammy what have I said about giggling?" he said shaking his head before bringing his lips down to assault her neck.
"Jack" she signed in utter contentment.
"Sam we need to talk about this I don't want this to be just a one night thing" he said as Sam repeated his actions on his own neck using her lips prior to bringing her lips down on his for another scorching kiss. Jack flipped her over so he was on top and in control.
"I thought you wanted to talk?" she sad breathlessly
"We can talk later I think we both know how we feel and we do have more fun things we could be doing right now" he said resuming the assault on her mouth and neck. Just as things were starting to heat up the phone next to Jack's bed began to ring; although both wished they could just ignore it they knew it was more than likely the SGC trying to get in contact with either one or both of them.
Jack reluctantly rolled off Sam and grabbed the phone saying "What?" rather gruffly into the receiver.
"Col. O'Neill I'm sorry to wake you at this hour but I need to speak with Maj. Carter about her mission"
"Don't worry sir I was up anyway, Joey's been up most of the night I think she can sense something big's happening. Sam's in with her now so I'll just get her for you" Jack lied getting up and throwing on some boxers and tossing Sam one of his T-shirts and boxers for her to put on to make it seem as if his was walking round looking for Sam. He then moved back to the bed and passed Sam the phone, "It's Gen. Hammond he wants to talk to you."
Jack waited whilst Sam talked watching her expression change as she talked just watching her so that she would always be engraved in his memory. When she was finished her eyes met his and he knew instantly what she was about to say, "A ship became available earlier than expected I've gotta go in now to gear up." She said getting up to find her discarded clothes which were strewn around his room.
"Well we knew it was gonna happen" he sad drawing her into his arms once she had gotten dressed "Just remember you've got 4 people waiting for you to come home to them."
"Don't worry I won't" She said as he bent down to kiss her both knew it could be the last kiss that they ever shared and even the last time they ever saw each other. When they broke apart a small figure was sanding in the door way a shy smile on his face.
"Hey Seany did the phone wake you up?" the boy nodded vigorously.
"Yeah and then I tired to go to sleep but I couldn't"
"Well mommy's gotta go to work now to see your granddad so it's just gonna be you me and your brother and sister for a while so how bout you get into my bed and go to sleep." Jack said
"Kay" Sean said walking over to his mom and giving her a hug "see you soon mommy say hi to grandpa for me."
"I will do" she said bending down to his height so she could hug him back. "Look after your dad for me okay?" the boy nodded once again, "good boy" she smiled trying hard not to cry. Sam stood up and Jack picked Sean up.
"Come on kiddo lets go to bed, say bye to mommy"
"Bye mommy" Sean said resting his head on Jack's shoulder already half asleep.
"See you Sam" he said kissing her once more before she left.
He placed Sean in his bed and got in on the other side the last thing he said before going to sleep was "I'm glad you stopped snoring daddy" in reference to an earlier remark Jack had made as to why Sam and Jack no longer slept in the same bed.
"Me too Seany, me too." Jack said to the sleeping boy before he also succumbed to sleep.
Just a short little chapter for you all there, hope you enjoyed it.
