A/N. Hey guys, please don't hate me I know that I promised to get the next chapter up before I went on holiday but I guess I didn't handle my time very well before I went, (guilty grin). Ok chapter eight is up, the next one is almost typed but I've given up trying to accurately guess when I post these chaps as I'm sure you all know life has a habit of getting in the way of things ya really want to do.
Chapter Eight – First night at the cabin.
Sam looked at the cabin. Her first thought was that it was much bigger than she had imagined, the second was that if she had her work with her as well then this would be the perfect vacation but that didn't really matter as she would probably have much more fun annoying Jack.
"It's amazing, Jack!" she sighed happily as she looked at the cabin bathed in the moonlight. That seemed to be all Jack needed to hear.
"Come on Campers, I think we should go to the bed. I'll just get everything going" he walked around to the side of the cabin and a second later they heard a generator kick into life. Jack came back around to the front of the cabin and smiled, "Come on then guys, grab your bags." They all picked up their bags and supplies from Jacks truck and Daniels car. He showed them all inside and showed which room was for which person, accept for Teal'c who just sat down on the sofa with his legs crossed to Kel nor reem. As he was helping Daniel pull out the sofa bed, Sam disappeared.
"Ok Daniel, you all set?" he asked.
"Yes thanks Jack" he yawned and started to root in his bag as he said, "Night"
"Yeah, sweet dreams and all that," he answered sarcastically and smirked as he exited the room. He walked to his own room, hauling his bag as he went. He opened the door and slipped inside, dropping his bag on a chair as he went.
"Sam?" he called.
"I'm in here" came the response from the small en suite bathroom.
"I've made sure Janet, Cassie and Daniel are all set for the night" he said as he sat down on his side of the bed, facing away from the bathroom, pulling his clothes off as he went, leaving only his boxers on. He lay down on top of the covers and put his hands behind his head and closed his eyes. He heard the door open and the weight of Sam sitting down shift on the bed beside him, he smiled to himself.
"That's good, honey" she said.
"Yeah" he sighed deeply and then pulled Sam into his arms without opening his arms and smiled again.
"Why are you so pleased with yourself?" Sam asked whilst smiling as well.
"Nothing, just still wondering how a washed up General like me got the brainiest, sexiest astrophysicist the Air Force, no scratch that, the world had to offer"
"You know, I have no idea" Sam joked with him before kissing him and then pulling away to tell him something.
"By the way, Janet knows"
"You told her?" he asked, surprised.
"No, I left my ring on accidentally and she saw it, she's promised not to let anyone know until we want to tell people."
"Ok well we should really talk about that, I mean are we just gonna come out with it over breakfast or are we gonna sit them down and you know make the whole 'we have to tell ya something' speech" he asked.
"You know, I've just realised I haven't asked you who you're gonna ask to be your best man"
"Well obviously either Teal'c or Daniel. I think probably Daniel at least he understands what he needs to do although he'll probably forget the rings or something" They both laughed at Daniels forgetfulness.
"God I'm tired" Sam yawned as she snuggled further into Jack's embrace. He sat up causing Sam to groan slightly at the lack of contact until she realised that he was pulling the covers over them and turning the light off. He spooned Sam back into his arms and whispered sleepily to her.
"Sleep Baby"
Daniel woke up the next morning quite early, he had been trying to figure out how he was going to tell Janet how he feels but hadn't even got past the 'we need to talk' first line. He got out of bed and walked into the kitchen where the object of his frustrations was standing, looking out of the window with a cup of coffee. He stopped and was about to get comfortable watching her when Cassie came bouncing in from the front room.
"Mum, Teal'c and I are watching the Simpson's so … oh hey Daniel" she said as she spotted him. Daniel smiled and walked fully into the room, trying not to appear guilty.
"Morning" he said.
"Daniel, do ya wanna come and watch the Simpson's?" she asked him.
"Sure, just give me a minute" he smiled at her.
"Cool, mum I'm gonna go wake up Jack and Sam"
"I'd give them a while Cassie honey, let them wake up on their own"
"But Jack's missing the Simpson's" Cassie protested.
"I'm sure he won't mind missing them this once, I was about to put on a fresh pot of coffee, you want some?" she asked her daughter.
"No thanks I still have some left" Cassie smiled and turned and walked back into the front room leaving Daniel and Janet alone.
"Do you want some?" she asked him, smiling as she already knew the answer to that one. He smiled in return.
"Sure" he answered. Janet didn't know what to say, she had known that Daniel had been stood in the door watching her and found that she enjoyed being watched him. Even as she was setting the machine for coffee she could feel him watching her every move. She handed him his coffee and got a cup for herself and then motioned if he wanted to go outside. He nodded and let her go first. Janet's last thought before they started talking was this is gonna be one hell of a two weeks.
As Daniel was watching Janet, a few rooms over Jack was watching Sam sleep. He watch as she smiled in her sleep and then clutched at the cover that was covering Jacks chest and burrowed deeper still into his arms. Jack didn't know when he'd turned into such a hopeless romantic that he'd prefer to watch someone sleep than an episode of the Simpson's. He'd awoken about an hour before hearing Cassie joke with Teal'c and then a few minutes ago he had heard the tell tale theme tune of the Simpson's was coming from the front room TV. He had never felt the urge to watch someone sleep before and was surprised that he was immensely enjoying himself but he reminded himself it was probably more that he was watching Sam than anything else. He had watched her at her happiest , her most upset, her angriest. He had watched her work and had seen her on the few occasions that she had been truly relaxed. As Jack looked at her now he realised that this was her at her best. She looked so relaxed, contented and happy. He couldn't believe that being with him caused her to look like this.
"Jack?" he had been thinking so deeply that he had completely missed the fact that Sam had woken up. "Are you ok?" she asked as a morning greeting.
"Yeah just thinking"
"Do I want to ask?" she joked. Jack ignored this and simply kissed her. "What was that for?" she smiled.
"Just coz you're so perfect" he said like he normally went this mushy in everyday conversation. Sam blushed at the compliment and Jack frowned slightly. "Do you even realise that?"
"I'm not perfect Jack"
"You are to me, and way too good for me, I mean … just look at ya" she blushed a deeper red and he frowned again. "Please Sam, just for a second, think about how I see you and then you'll understand just how smart, talented, sweet, kind and incredibly sexy you actually are."
Sam blushed much less at this but this time she did not avert her gaze.
"You know you really don't have to keep complimenting me" she said smiling.
"I like to compliment ya" he smiled back and kissed her gently, when he pulled away she looked him dead in the eye and grinned a little mischievously.
"You forgot horny" Jack didn't even get the chance to act surprised before Sam had straddled him and was fiercely kissing him in between short bits of a sentence. "I love … you so … much … Jack … you're just … the sweetest … most perfect … guy ever." Jack responded with a kiss of his own that was just as fierce and full of passion. In a split second Sam's night shirt (well actually it was Jack's old Air Force t-shirt is ya wanna get all technical about it) had been removed and Jack had rolled Sam onto her back so he was on top. His t-shirt was also quickly as well, they were just about to get really steamy when suddenly …
