CH 10

When they got there they were waiting for the results of the race to come through. While waiting, Jack read out the next two names which Sam said two names.

"Sam after this why don't we get an ice cream, would you like that?"

"It has been a long time since I last had ice cream"

"I bet," he said smiling at her.

Then he walked up to the counter and hand over her two tickets then he told the guy where the winning money to go, when finished and got his new two tickets, they left to get an ice cream then they headed to where the 'open home' is.

"Did we win?"

"Yep I place hundred dollars on each"

"So how much did we win?"

"Well when the two races finish and I collect our winning it would be over fifteen hundred dollars"

"Wow that is a lot of money Jack"

"It is" when they drive towards the house they could see other cars there.

"Wow I like the outside of the house" Sam said

"It reminds me of my grandparents cabin but bigger" Sam smile and she put her hand on top of his.

When Jack stop and turn off the motor he look around just as they were getting out of the Jeep and walk up towards the house. When they got to the front door the agent greeted them and gave them a sheet of paper before they wipe their feet before walking in side. They walk over to one spot and read what it says.

"Shall we check the house out Jack"

"Sure"

They walk in one room then to another. The house was empty when they walk through it. When they walk out the back they could see where the bounty is and where the mountains is. Then they walk back in side and up the stairs to check out the bedrooms.

When they check out the master bedroom, it was six times bigger than Jack one at his apartment was even the bathroom was big and there was a walk in closet.

Sam walked over and walk out onto a small boucery and smile as she breath in fresh air and she closed her eyes and piece of paper with a number appeared for a few seconds then it was gone. She opened her eyes and turn to look at Jack who was looking at her. He walked over to her

"What are you thinking?"

"Jack if you had the money, how much would you pay for this place" she whispers

"Eighty five thousand, why?"

"Do you like it, this house?"

"Yes… Sam" he looked at her

"Would you buy it for seventy five thousand?"

"Yes did you…" he looked at her in shock

"Yes a picture appeared for seventy five thousand dollars and your signaller"

"You're joking… of course your not joking"

"No and I think with the ten thousand you could build a garage with a flat roof here" she turned around looking over the property.

"You think it a good idea?"

"Yes with steps that can lead down to the back of the house and a back patio with a barbecue area, swimming pool, how that sounds for starts"

Jack thought about what Sam said and he does miss the summer barbeques he had with his grandparents, then he looked at Sam he could see the love and honesty in her eyes and he could tell she loved the place and knew she was right.

"Let's go and find the agent"

Sam gave him a hug then they walk back in side and down stairs. They found the agent and spoke to him for a few minutes and Jack gave him some details and price for the place before he and Sam left to go back into town.

They did some shopping then Jack went to the betting place in town and cash in their winning then he walked out and got into his jeep then they went to do some more shopping then they had some lunch before heading back to his apartment.

When they got there, Jack got a phone call so while he was on the phone, Sam got herself a drink then she went to see what on TV. Few minutes later Jack walk in

"Sam" she turned and looked at him

"What's wrong?"

"I don't know, there a briefing in twenty minutes, will you be alright here?"

"Sure"

"I'll call you to let you know what is happening"

"Ok" he walked over and bends over and gave her a kiss

"See you tonight"

"Ok, drive carefully"

"I will," he said smiling then he left to head to Petersen's air force base.

Not long after he left Sam got up and sorted out her new clothes then she walked out of his apartment with her backpack and new clothes and towels, locking the door since he gave her the spear key then walked down to where the laundry room is.

She uses three washing machines. Once for her clothes, one for the towels and the other for the sheets since she already wash her new blankets and bed spread the night before. While they were going through, she started on her homework for a while.

Hour later she walked back into Jack apartment with the clean things and her backpack. She folded everything up then she sat down at the dining room table and she carry on with her studies for a while. It was just after six when jack phone rings, so she answered it

"Hello"

"Hi Sam, it Jack" sam smile

"Hi Jack is everything ok?"

"Yes what would you like for dinner?"

"I already got dinner on"

"Oh what are you cooking up?"

"You will see," she said smiling

"Ok I'll be home in about twenty five minutes"

"Ok, see you when you get here"

"Ok" then they both hung up.

Sam got the dining room table set up and turned the oven on and waited for Jack to return. When Jack walked in the door the smell hit him which made his mouth water.

"Honey I'm home" he called out as he closes the door. Sam walk out of the kitchen smiling

"Hey is that chicken I can smell"

"Chicken pieces, yes"

"Mmm smell great" they both hug and he gave her a kiss then they walk into the kitchen

"So how was the briefing?" she said while she started dishing up dinner

"It went ok" Sam turn and look at him

"Jack"

"I can't tell you"

"Classified"

"Yeah"

"Let me guest a mission they might be happening"

"Yes"

"Ok, I understand" then she turned around and finish dishing up dinner.

When finish she took their meal over to the dining room table and sat down.

"Sam what wrong"

"I'm ok, it just a shame you can't tell me what is going on"

"Well when you join the airforce and you have to go on classified missions that you can't tell me, you would know what it like"

"Ok"

They talk about other things while having dinner. After dinner, Jack took care of the dishes while Sam went in to the living room and watch some TV till he joins her on the couch.

They both watch a TV program and a movie before Jack gave Sam a kiss before he went to bed. Sam got change then she got her bedding sorted out before getting into bed after turning the lights off and falling asleep.

The next morning they both went for a walk in a nearby park, they talk for a while also then they return back to his apartment. Sam went to finish her homework while Jack went or a run.

When he returned and had a shower, he did up some sandwiches for their lunch, by that time Sam was finished. They talk about what they want to do that afternoon so they both decided to go to the pictures, which they enjoyed. When they return, Sam called her mother up

"Hello"

"Hi mum"

"Sam how are you?" She said smiling

"I'm good, keeping busy"

"I bet, I can't talk long Jacob is about"

"Ok well I have had a good week so far at uni"

"That good, are you calling from…"

"Yes, and guest what"

"What"

"Jack brought a house, if all goes well"

"A house?"

"Yes it is huge, I mean seven bedroom, seven bathroom house, and that just up stairs"

"Wow it must be big?"

"It is and the house is on an acre section. The place is up for tenders so Jack spoke to the guy and told how much he wanted for the house and now we are waiting"

"That is good news Sam, can I specked to Jack"

"Sure" then she pass the phone to him

"Mum wants a word"

"Ok" then he put the receiver to his ear

"Hi Elizabeth"

"Hi Jack how is Sam behaving?"

"She been great this weekend, she brought some things she needed for her dorm room and some clothes as well"

"Ok, how is she off money wise?"

"She still got plenty"

"That good, let me know if she needs any more"

"Sure, I better go and get some dinner on since it was my turn to cook tonight"

"Ok take care"

"Will do, bye"

"Bye, jack, Sam" then they hung up,

Then he got up and went and got some dinner on for them both. After dinner and the dishes were done, they both snuggle on the couch for an hour before it was timed to head back to uni.

Jack helps Sam with her thing into his jeep before leaving. They talk about what they are going to do next weekend if the weather is fine. When they arrived outside of Sam dorm, jack help to take Sam things up to her room. Once everything was in there, they both hug and he gave her a kiss.

"Drive carefully"

"I am Sam" they both hug before he left to head back to the springs.

Sam close and lock the door then she started putting things away she use her powers to put everything away and made her bed. When everything was done, she got change and climbs into bed and turned her new lamp off before falling asleep.

When she was dreaming Jack was there, he let her know that he arrived home safely which made her smile.

When Sam was the first one to show up in her classes the teachers were shocked but they got used to it. That weekend that Sam was planning on spending it at Jack she found out the night before in a dream that he is on a mission but she still can go there if she wanted to. Which she did do? She found out that one of the teachers is from there so she asked him.

"Mr Thomas"

"Yes your Samantha Carter"

"Yes sir"

"What can I help you with?"

"Well sir I heard you are from Colorado Springs"

"Yes that right"

"Well I was wondering if you can give me a lift there, I'm supposed to be staying at a friends apartment for the weekend and he can't make it to come and get me tonight"

"What does your friend do Sam?"

"Air force"

"Ah, well sure, can you be ready by five o'clock?"

"Yes sir I'll be waiting outside my dorm"

"Ok see you then"

"Thanks sirs" Sam said smiling then she walked out of his classroom and went to get some lunch.

Later that evening, Sam was waiting outside her dorm when Mr Thomas showed up. Sam put her things in the back seat before getting in the front and putting her seat belt on just as they were leaving. They talk all the way to Colorado Springs. When they got their, Sam told him which apartment building Jack lives. When they got there, Sam got out and got all her things

"Thanks for the lift"

"No problems, if your friend isn't there over the weekend, give me a call and I'll come and get you on Monday morning"

"Ok, thanks"

"Will you be ok?"

"Yes"

"Ok, don't study hard" sam smile

"I try not to bye"

"Bye Sam" then he drives away.
