CHAPTER 14

"What was that all about Sam?" Jack asked.

"Things are going to get more interesting this afternoon."

"Oh, why is that?"

"That was Lt Brown on the phone. Her team, SG3, SG7 and their family's are going to meet us at the park for some games and then they are coming back here for a barbecue for supper. They are bringing everything, including the drinks" Sam said.

"Oh, why is that?" Kath asks.

"Well, because we helped them out of a sticky situation when they were on a mission." Sam told her.

Sam couldn't tell her that they had saved their lives. But Jack knew what she was saying.

"Oh ok, we better get going and let the other's know about it then." Jack said.

They gathered up baby John and walked over to the park. They could hear everyone having fun.

"It's about time you guys got here," Jacob said

"Thanks a lot dad. Anyway, guess who is coming here to play with you crazy lot?" Sam said smiling at her father.

"Who is it Sam?" Daniel asked.

"Everyone from SG's 3, 6 and 7 with their family's are coming here to play touch football, soccer and baseball with you guys." Sam told all of them.

"Ok, this is going to be an interesting day." Jacob said.

"There is going to be a barbecue afterwards for supper. They insisted on bringing everything, including drinks. It is a thank you for helping them out." Sam said.

Sam & Kath sat on the bench watching everyone having fun.

"Sam, why don't you go out there and have some fun?" Kath said.

"I would love to but I am still sore from what happened to me yesterday, but don't tell Dad or Jack. You know what Dad is like." Sam told her.

"Yea, Dad does worry about you, and so does Jack. I have seen the way he reacts every time you tried to do something last night."

"Yea. He does care about me a lot. He is more loving and caring than Jonas ever was."

"Jonas was charming at first, like Jack, but after you two got engaged, that is when things went down hill for you."

"Yea, I know, but with Jack it is different. Remember what happened to me last year, when I was missing for fours days" Sam said

"Yes, General Hammond rang and told Mark that you were M.I.A."

"I didn't know, until I was found, that Jack was going crazy the whole time I was missing. He was driving everyone crazy, including George." Sam told her.

"I didn't know that Sam"

"Teal'c told me what happened. Jack was on the base the whole time waiting for the phone call saying that they had found me and that I was alive."

"You are lucky to have someone like him in your life Sam."

"I know, Kath. When I woke up in the infirmary he was there. He stayed by my side the whole time after I arrived back at the base. When I woke up in the infirmary the first thing all I said was 'Jack'. Somehow I knew that he was close by, although I couldn't see him at first."

"That's called love Sam. Your feelings for him are strong and there is nothing that can destroy the love between you two. Not even the rules and regulations can break it, no matter what."

"I know you are right. Annie said to me last month 'that love conquers all'. She knows how I feel about him."

"Well that's good then. Dad likes him. You know how protective he is of you Sam."

"I know. When Dad first met Jack in Washington, Jack was his normal cheeky self and it made Dad laugh and smile. I haven't seen Dad smile like that since Mom died."

"That is a good sign then."

"Yea it was. I didn't know that he was there. George invited him to the medal presentation in Washington when Jack and I were to receive our Air Medal's."

Then they heard voices behind them. They turned around to see who it was. It was SG's 3, 6 and 7, with their families. Two of the women walked over to where Sam & Kath were sitting. They sat down next to them. They had their babies with them.

"Hi, I'm Sam and this is my sister in law Kath Carter and this little guy is John, my nephew." Sam said.

"Hi my name is Jan Anderson and this is my sister Tina Bates"

"Oh you are Major Gary Anderson's wife?" Sam Said

"Yes. He has told me about how your team rescued his team yesterday when some villager's held them hostage." Jan said.

"Yes, as the Colonel would say 'we saved their asses again'. I know because he always says that when ever we go in and save the day. We have saved them a few times over the years."

This made the other women laugh. They sat and watched everyone having fun in the park. They all laughed, watching the others having running around. After about an hour or so watching the action, Kath said,

"Sam, I better get John back home and change him again."

"I have an idea. Why don't the four of us go back to my house and we could put the drinks in the fridge, so when this mad lot are finished playing around like bunch of kids, they will all need a cold drink when they get back."

"That is a great idea Sam" Kath said.

Both Jan & Tina agreed, so they got up and started heading back to Sam's house.

"Jack" Sam yelled, to get his attention.

Then she waved her arm for him to com over to her. He walked over to her with a smile on his face just for her.

"Yea Sam what is it?" Jack said.

"Jack, we are going back to the house and put the food and drinks in the fridge until you lot get back. John needs changing anyway, so can you let the others know where we are?" Sam said smiling at him.

"Ok, see you ladies later" as the women walked out of the park.

"Sam"

"Yes Jack" as they were now alone.

"I love you Sam and as soon as we get the chance I want to hold you in my arms and kiss you all over" Jack said quietly, making Sam blush.

"I love you too Jack but you know we won't have a chance today or tomorrow morning. But tomorrow night, I am free, so you will have to wait until then" Sam said smiling at him

"Oh we will see Sam. Catch you later" As he flicked his eyebrows at her. No one saw what he did.
