This chapter is set after the death of Jacob and Selmac and after their funeral. The Sg1 team have planned a week away at Jacks cabin for the four of them to have a chance to get some R+R. (Sam has also dumped pete by this point.)

I have already written the whole story but thanks to Rose Stetson's very helpful suggestion/request, I decided to put in this chapter. So yeah Thanks Rose for the help:

Jack was sat in his office, typing away at his computer. He was boring himself to tears with the file but it had to be done.

He was hard at work when a certain bloned hair lady walked up to and banged on the door.

"Come in Carter." Jack spoke with a quiet smile. He was hoping to see her but didn't want to make it too obvious.

"What do you want Carter, I have got a stack full of reports you can read if you like."

"No thanks Sir, " Carter said with a grin.."I, er, just came to see you and to just let you know that I .. er,...brokeupwithpete."

Jack (who couldn't help but harbour a slight grin at the way Sam decided to blurt out that information) said, "Why?"

Jack was trying to look casual, but the way that he was looking into her eyes gave him away. He was looking at her filled to the brim with hope, hope that she would wake up, smell the coffee and realise that he and her should be working on their very own 'little one'.

"Jack, it was never going to work forever.. we could have never left it in the room forever, my feelings haven't changed since that day. If anything they have gotten stronger."

Jack got up from his chair and brought himself round to where she stood.

"Me too."

Sam grinned and looked back into the eyes that were gazing lovingly into her own.

"You know Sam, Kerry knew about us."

"Us? There is no us... well offically anyway."

Jack smiled widely as he continued,

"She knew there was something in my relationship with her that was stopping it going any further, a someone.. You. She knew that..."

"Hey Jack theres something I think you better see."

Jack held his breath, perfect timing as usual. He really could punch Daniel sometimes.

Jack sighed as Sam said "We'll I better be getting packed for our week away, see you guys later." and she walked towards and out of the door.

The drive up to the cabin was relaxing for the four of them. Each took turns to drive but Teal'c hogged most of the time with the wheel. They sung, they talked, they stopped off at a service station for snacks,.. lots and lots of snacks,

but even among the relaxed atmosphere Sam and Jack daren't speak about what they had started to speak about in his office. There had a whole week away though, there was no hurry to go any further into that conversation.
