Sam had her laptop with her, so she kept busy by writing up her report on what had happened to her. Daniel, Jack and Janet were going over the photos of the men and women that were working for Kinsey, when they all made final identification's. Major Davis passed the information to the Joint Chiefs of Staff and the NID.

Jack was sitting across from Sam were he was watching her, and then he started playing with his wedding ring. Jacob was watching Jack and what he was doing with his ring, before he left them alone.

Jack didn't know what was going to happen now. If Hammond did return, what would happen to SG1? Thanks to Kinsey, it looked like Sam might have to be transferred to another team. If that happened, things will never be the same again.

Jack was lost in thought, not realizing that Sam had finished her report and was now sitting next to him, holding his left hand, while looking at him. When he did turn to look at her, he looked in to her blue eyes that he loved so much.

He could see the love, caring and understanding in them. Sam gave his hand a squeeze, which he returned. Then he looked down at their hands. He then held onto Sam's left hand, where the ring was. It was still there, which made him smile. He lifted her hand and kissed both ring and hand at the same time.

"Would you like some coffee Jack?"

"Sure, thanks"

Sam got up and went to get them some coffee. Jack pulled out a navy blue velvet box and opened it. Jacob was watching Jack, and then he went and sat next to him. Jack turned to look at him.

"You love her don't you?"

"A lot more than I am supposed to"

"May I?"

"Sure"

Jack passed the box to Jacob, he looked at it, and then he passed it back.

"It's a lovely ring, Jack, I know she will love it"

"You know, after all we've been through together over the past few years, I grew closer to her, not just any CO and 2ic but as Jack and Sam. I know this damn war is going to take forever. One-day I was planning on retiring again and for us to get to know one another better"

"Jack, you and Sam have a special bond, a special connection. In all my years in the Air Force, I have never seen any CO and 2IC click together like you and Sam have. You can read one another's thoughts and the way you two can communicate, I've never seen anything like it before. There is only one thing that cause's this to happen and it is love, and the both of you have it. I have seen it every time I come and visit. I can see it in Sam's eyes, the way you two look at each other. The special smile's you have only for one another, the way you two talk, it's like you both been married for years. You two understand each other. One last thing Jack, I am honoured to call you son" Jack looked at him in shock.

"That means I have your blessing?" Jacob laughed

"Yes Jack even through it's a bit late for it, yes"

"Thanks… dad"

Sam was listening to the talk between her father and husband. That was one thing she had to get used to from now on. Sam walked into the room

"Hey, here you go" Sam passed Jack his coffee

"Thanks Sam"

"I heard you two talking, sorry"

"What did you hear?" Jack asked

"Everything. Jack, do you love me?" Sam asked,

She was looking into his eyes. She could see what his answer was before he said it.

"Yes, I am in love with you, it's not hard to be" Sam smiled at him.

Sam reaches for his left hands and held it in her hand.

"Jack, I'm in love with you too"

"Really? Sweet!"

Sam went and sat next to him, putting her coffee in a cup holder. Jack did the same. Jacob got up and left them alone.

"Jack, what do you want to do?"

"I don't know, what about you, what do you want?"

"Can I have a look at the ring?"

Jack took the box out of his pocket and opened it up. Then he passed it to her.

"Jack, it's gorgeous"

"So you like it?"

"I love it," she said with a smile.
