It was Sam, Jack, Daniel and Tealc's first day at Jacks cabin, for their week long break. They had spent the day fishing, drinking a few beers, and generally relaxing in the sun and now they were all sat down in the lounge area watching The simpsons dvds. All four of the team were gathered round the television. Daniel on a chair and Sam, Jack and Tealc were sat together on the sofa. Daniel took a break from Homer Jay strangling El Barto, to see Jack gazing at an oblivious Sam, then looking down at his shoes. Jack was nervous, for reasons only Daniel could speculate about. Jack obviously wanted to tell Sam something and considering recent events it obviously was going to be something important so Daniel decided to give Jack a hand…

"Hey it's about time for dinner. We haven't got an awful lot in, I'll just go by the store and pick some things up, Teal'c do you want to come with me?" Daniel asked Tealc with a pointed look on his face so Tealc took the hint and decided to play along.

Teal'c nodded and began to get up from his seat. Daniel mirrored him leaving Sam and Jack on the sofa.

Jack and Sam were sat on the sofa in silence for a few minutes, Sam was watching the screen as was Jack except for the moments when Jack was

Looking in Sams direction wondering when to speak,

"Carter, I'm thinking of leaving the SGC." Jack said bravely gazing in Sams direction trying to gauge her reaction and it was a difficult job for a few seconds. Sam seemed to have no reaction at all and Jack even thought that she had not heard but just as he was going to repeat himself, Sam looked round with a neutral expression,

"Why?"

"I just think it's time to move on."

"Oh ok" Sam said as a lone tear ran down her cheek and she lifted off the seat and started to walk off before the one tear became a stream…….. "Wait, ok Dad just died, and after what we said, you, you want to move on!" Sam shouted at Jack changing her original idea of running.

"Carter I never said I was moving on from you, I got a promotion, a position at the pentagon well Hammonds old job to be precise. I'm not running away from you, infact I'm trying to do the opposite. Carter,…… Sam I said I would be there for you always and I will.

"Really?"

"Really! Infact there IS a position available at Area 51, they're a looking for a scientist, you don't happen to know anyone they could get do you?"

Sam smiled her megawatt smile saved just for Jack.

Closing the gap between them Jack gently brought a hand to Sams hair and brushed a stray hair from her face.

Looking intently back into Jack's gaze Sam pulled her eyes away.

"So how are things going to be with you at the Pentagon and with me at Area 51."

Jack gingerly grabbed hold of Sams arm and pulled her to face him.

"Well things will be much different that's for sure…………… But for now,…. do you want to carry on watching The simpsons, the next episode is one of my favourites."

Jack and Sam dropped down onto the sofa in silence both thinking the other could hear their heart beating in their chests.
