Okay...thanks again for all the wonderful reviews! I love hearing from you all! This is chapter 7. At the end its says TBC. Which means I am in the process of writing more chapters and am kinda stumped. I was originally going to end the story with this chapter, but I think it needs a bit more. Maybe some more action. Don't worry, there will be more Sam and Jack too I promise. The next part of the story will involve Cassie more too. I seem to include Cassie in many of my stories, I think her character has many possibilities. Anyway. I will do my best to get something out to you guys, but it might be a little bit. Thanks so much for reading so far! Hope you enjoy.

The phone was ringing. Jack slowly opened his eyes and looked over to Sam's side of the bed. She wasn't there. He sat up quickly and grabbed the phone.

"Hello."

"Good Morning Jack." Daniel's voice came through the phone.

"Morning." Jack grumbled as he uncovered himself and struggled with his pants.

"How's Sam?" Daniel asked.

"Well, at the moment I don't know." Jack said just as Sam opened the door from her bathroom. He looked up at her with a scowl.

"What? I had to pee." Sam said, heading back towards the bed.

"She's fine Daniel. Getting herself into trouble as usual."

"Alright…well I just wanted to let you guys know that we're back and we were thinking of coming by this afternoon."

"Sounds good Daniel. C'mon over and join the party." Jack said.

Suddenly he felt Sam's warm hand on his back. She began to run her fingers up and down his spine.

"Okay, see you later Jack."

"Later Danny." Jack said shutting off the phone.

Sam began placing soft kisses on his neck.

Jack sighed.

"Thank you." She said, resting her chin on his shoulder.

Jack patted her cheek and nodded. "Let's get you dressed before Daniel and Teal'c get here."

Sam was reading a book when Daniel knocked on her door.

"Come in." Sam said without looking up from her book.

Daniel pushed the door open slowly and peeked in.

Sam looked up. "Hey Daniel."

Daniel smiled. "Hey." He said coming towards the bed. He sat down on the edge by her feet. "Sorry we had to leave, but SG 5 made an interesting discovery I couldn't pass up." Daniel sighed. "Actually, the General ordered us to go. But it was interesting."

Sam smiled. "It's okay Daniel. I'm fine."

Daniel snorted. "I heard you broke open your stitches doing flips off the countertop."

"I'm ever so graceful right now Daniel." Sam said, voice heavy with sarcasm.

Daniel smiled. "So…Cassie didn't come the first night you were home?"

Sam immediately knew where the conversation was headed. "No, she had something come up with work and couldn't get home until the next night."

"Ah. So, Jack's been here since then?" Daniel asked.

Sam nodded. Sam hadn't even told Cassie that Jack had helped her with her bath that first night. She let Cassie wash her hair again the next night. And she knew Jack would never say anything.

Daniel smiled. "So, how's that been going?"

Sam gave Daniel a look of mock surprise. "Why Daniel Jackson, are you suggesting something?"

Daniel shook his head, smiling. "Not at all, not at all. But…if you have anything you wish to tell me…"

Sam closed her book and hit Daniel with it. At that moment, Sam noticed Jack standing in the doorway.

He smiled tightly at her. Something was wrong.

Daniel followed Sam's gaze to the doorway. "Hey Jack."

"Daniel."

"What's up?'

Jack stood silent with his hands in his pockets. He took a couple of steps into the room. "I just got called back to DC. All hell's breaking loose."

His words made Sam's chest tighten. Her wounds suddenly began to throb.

"What's going on?" Daniel asked.

"Not sure. But they are calling me back to help deal with it." Jack said, not taking his eyes from Sam.

Daniel nodded. He looked over at Sam; she was pretending to look at her fingernails.

Daniel suddenly felt very out of place. "Sam, I'm going to see how Cassie's coming with the food."

Sam nodded. "Okay."

Daniel patted Sam's leg and rose from the bed. He looked up at Jack and then headed through the door.

Jack slowly approached the bed and sat down where Daniel had been sitting.

Sam was picking at her fingernails.

Jack put his hand over hers.

"When are you leaving?" Sam asked.

"Tonight. I have to be on base at 20:30 hours." Jack said quietly.

Sam nodded.

"Daniel, T, and Cassie will be here. And I'm just a phone call away." Jack said.

Sam sighed. "It's not quite the same."

Jack put his fingers under Sam's chin and tilted her head up to meet his gaze. "I think we need to talk about the past few days."

"What do we need to talk about?" Sam asked, suddenly afraid Jack was changing his mind.

"Oh the fact that our relationship has changed a bit now that we've…well…seen each other minus some clothes." Jack said.

Sam smiled. "We haven't…"

"Yeah, I know, but there was a definite shift when you kissed me." Jack said smiling.

Sam smiled and nodded.

"Do you want that sort of…relationship…with me? I mean…the dating, kissing kind?" He asked, searching her eyes for the answer.

Sam nodded, smiling. "I've been trying to tell you how I've felt for a while now. Things have just been…getting in the way."

"So, it's okay if I do this?" Jack leaned forward and caught her lips in a kiss.

"Jack! Lunch is ready." Cassie yelled from the bottom of the stairs.

Jack pulled back and smiled. "As long as you are careful and don't throw yourself off anything; you can join us down stairs for lunch."

Sam grinned and slid her legs off the bed. "Yes sir."
