It was 2.00am in the cabin and Jack was fast asleep, Sam however was not. She was stuck with her thoughts of him,

The colonel, Sir…. Jack. It felt strange, saying Jack instead of Sir but she would have to get used to it soon, it would no longer be a general and his colonel but Jack and Sam,…. Someday maybe Mr and Mrs O'neill.. No no that's jumping the gun, but still it was very appealing. Something she was looking forward to, hoping for… perhaps one day it could be Mom and Dad…. No that, now that really is jumping the gun. But still she thought, letting herself grin, that really is something to hope for. Even one child would be enough, just a child to call her own, to be a part of her and Jack.

She really was hoping for that.

Wanting to hold onto the fantasy she found herself drawn across the hall and into his bedroom. The room was dark but she could just make out where his bed was and a his form sleeping peacefully. Carefully she stepped forwards, she paused bringing her nails to her lips, and hunching her shoulders to bring herself some childlike comfort. They knew of their feelings for one another, they were well aware, but still this situation was still so new.

Taking in a breath of strength, her feet found their way to the edge of his bed where she found him resting gently. He was laid back one arm by his side and the other stretched out as if unconsciously inviting her towards him.

She lifted the bedding and slowly slid under the sheets. She turned in towards him just taking a moment to breath in his scent then closing her eyes and after all the conflict with the replicators and the blow that her dads and Selmacs death was, she suddenly felt at peace.

Sensing through his dreams that he wasn't alone Jack stirred and looked down to see the beauty he had been longing for,.. Sam. Before she found the land of nod he decided to make his presence known.

"Carter,.. Sam."

She lifted her head with a jolt and he locked with her blue eyes. No words were spoken, no words were needed their eyes did all the talking while Jack pulled her into his embrace and Sam grabbed onto him with her arm, clinging on.

"I can't believe I get to hold you like this." Jack said lowering his head into her shoulder tenderly and slowly kissing her neck.

"Your not the only one liking it" Sam said turning her head to give him better access just basking in the warmth of his touch.

At the same time down the hall Daniel came out of his room to relieve himself when he passed Jacks room where he glimpsed the faint outline of two bodys, He did a double take and decided to get closer to the door,

"Jack I spoke to Area 51, I got the posting, seems someone had already mentioned my name and gave me a recommendation."

"Hmm I wonder who that would be!" Jack said sprouting a 'Who me' look, to which Sam giggled.

"I'll be busy, .. but atleast we'll be close, we'll be together."

"It's going to be sweet!"

Daniel saw the two forms in the bed rearranging themselves, there was obviously some serious lip lockage going on, he better give them some privacy and himself some peace as he was getting a desperate need to used the bathroom. He was happy though, everything was going to be fine.
