"Uncle remember what you told mum and dad when I was a baby the first time you saw me"

"Yes that you are special"

"Well it is true, I am special" they smile at her

"We know you are special Sam"

"I know… we that is Jack and I have been given a special gift, it very powerful gift, but it will be years before I get the full power, but I have got some of the power now"

"What do you mean Sam"

"Watch"

Sam made the two pens return back to the desk draws when she looks at them they were shocked

"There has to be a trick," Phillip said

Then Sam made his chair rise off the ground which shocked both his and Tracey then she put it down.

"You still believe it a trick"

"How…"

"We better start from the beginning" Sam said, they nodded.

They spent an hour telling them everything that Sam hasn't told them over the phone. When she finishes telling them, they were both shock.

"Oh my lord, Sam that is incredible, so how long have you two known each other for?"

"Almost seven years"

"That is amazing, well Jack can you do something for us?"

"Sure?"

"Keep Sam happy?"

"Yes sir"

"Sam is there anything else we should know about?"

"Yes there is" then she looks at Jack.

"Jack I've applied to join the airforce university program and scholarships program"

"Sam when?"

"Couple of months ago"

"And?"

"I've been accepted plus I can do the two classes which is at the university so long as they do not interfere with the university programs and transport has been taken care of"

"Sam you already doing a lot now"

"I know but by this time next year I'll have my physics and biology degree."

"Sam that takes three years?"

"I know but with the extra classes I can do it in two, Jack please it only for a year, after that all I'll have is only the two classes at the academy and one at university"

"Sam I'll be worried you will be taking on too much?"

"Jack we will still have our Friday night junk food and movie and Saturday morning shopping and afternoon practice. Nothing will change there"

"Are you sure?" Sam smile

"Yes, I'm sure" they both hug

"Sam so long as you don't burn out"

"I won't" he looked into her eyes and knew she wanted this

"Ok" she gave him a kiss then stood up

"Well shall we go and join the rest of our guests"

"Sure"

They all stood up and walked out to where everyone is and spent the next few hours talking laughing, having a wonderful time. Everyone was gone by two o'clock in the morning. All the food was gone and so was the cake. Jack and Sam collapsed on the couch after their last guest was gone.

"Jack that was a great party, thank you"

"Your welcome Sam, I'm pleased you enjoyed yourself"

"Yeah I had a great time"

"Well shall we get to bed"

"Sounds good to me" they both got up and left to go up stairs to their room

"Now we got to plan New Year party" Sam said

"I know, we can do it"

"I know Jack" they both kiss when they got to Sam doorway and said their good nights before they went to their own beds for the night. Few hours later Jack was up first. After he had his shower and dress he went down stairs to put the kettle on got a cup of coffee.

While that was boiling he started cleaning up the kitchen and dining area. With the balloons he would ask Sam what she would like done with them. When the kettle was boiled he made himself a cup of coffee.

While drinking it he use his powers to remove all the streamers and put into the rubbish bin, then he put all the paper plates, napkins and cups into rubbish bags.

When finish doing that he finishes his coffee. Then he stack up the dishes and started washing them till the rack was full then he put a load into soak while he dry them and put them away. Then he started on the next lot of plates when Sam walk into the kitchen

"Morning Jack"

"Morning Sam, sleep well"

"Yes thank" she gives him a kiss

"What would you like before breakfast?"

"I don't know, what in the fridge and pantry?" Samlooked in the pantry and fridge.

"I'll cook up some breakfast, we definitely need to go shopping Jack"

"I know"

Sam got everything she needs out and she got two glasses and pour the last of the orange juice into them both then she got started on chopping up the last two onions and put them into a pan with some butter. Then she shops up mushrooms and added it to the mixture then the green and red pepper.

While that was cooking she whip up the last of the eggs and added pepper, salt and milk to it then when the mixture was cook she added the egg to it then she put toast into the toaster. Jack watches her cook then he went back to the dishes at hand.

"Sam what would you like to do with the helium balloons?"

"They are ok where they are"

"Ok"

They listen to the radio while Sam was cooking and Jack was doing the dishes. When breakfast was dish up, they both sat down at the breakfast bar to eat it while talking. After breakfast and everything was cleaned up they went into town to get some groceries for home.

They had two trolleys each when they walk in. They were able to get everything that was on their shopping lists then they went up to the counter and put them through. Jack paid for every thing then they lefts to head back home and unload everything.

Once everything was done they drive to the broadmoor hotel where the family was staying; they were meeting Phillip and Tracey for lunch. When they got there Phillip and Tracey walk towards them

"Morning Jack, Sam"

"Morning Uncle Phillip, Auntie Tracey, I hope you two enjoyed last night?" Sam asked

"Yes we did thanks dear, how about you?"

"It was the best, I loved it" she said smiling

"That good to know so shall we I already got a table book"

"Sure" they walk down to where the dining room is.

Few minutes later the four of them were seated at a table talking while waiting. Tracey and Phillip ask Sam how her studies are coming along, every thing. They even ask Jack lots of questions over the hour and a half. After lunch, they went for a walk down where they could sit and talk for the rest of the afternoon.

By that time the rest of the family showed up. They asked both Jack and Sam lots of questions. Then they went and they all had dinner together at one of the restaurants. The family saw Jack and Sam taste each other meals and shear each other deserts.

They could see how happy they both are. At the end of the evening Jack and Sam said their good nights to them all till the next night. When they got home they were tired and went to bed since it was a long day for them both.

The next morning while having breakfast and listening to the radio, Sam looked at Jack.

"Jack what do you think of my family?" he turn and look at her

"They are great, funny and the stories they told me about you" he said grinning

"Yeah I couldn't believe what they told you, it was embarrassing"

"Sam they were funny, but one thing through who farted, man it stank?" Sam smile

"That would be Colin every time he has onions, you could get near him hours later" she waved her hand in front of her face

"But with Uncle Phillip he the worse"

"Oh?"

"Yeah homemade chilli bake beans when he has them auntie boots him out of the house, but I said to her that if they needed to get rid of the termites take the family away for the weekend and leave him at home, she laugh" Jack laugh

"That a good one Sam"

"Thanks, I will never forget one year he had the chilli bake beans, mum, dad, Mark and I were visiting one day before the move to Washington, it was just before we meet. Uncle Philip was made to sleep in a tent well I knew what was going to happen I warn Mark, he wouldn't listen, twenty minutes after he went into the tent he came out wave his hand in front of his face and I said 'told you so'. He just looked at me and walk inside the house and I heard Mark said 'Uncle Phillip back side stinks', they all laugh"

"I bet" they talk more about Sam cousins, auntie and uncle for the next hour. Jack was laughing so much in that time, when he settles down he look at Sam

"They sure sound so crazy"

"They are"

"Well I'm glad we haven't got any chilli baked beans here otherwise he might clear out the whole hotel" Sam laugh

"He would you know"

"Man it must be bad"

"trust me" when they settle down again a few minutes later

"Well we might as well get started"

"Yeah" Sam got up and walked to the sink then she farted

"Sorry"

"So long as it not a stink one your ok"

"It not"

"Good" then he walked over and they did the dishes together.

When finished they started getting everything set up for the new year party for the rest of the day. They did stop for some lunch before carrying on. When they finished, they both collapsed in the living room while looking around then to each other

"Looking forward to tonight Sam?"

"Yes you?"

"Yes" they look at each other and Jack turn around a bit so he could look at sam.

"Sam how about we set some new year's resolution for next year"

"What did you have in mind Jack?"

"Well for me not to get shot and make sure no one gets left behind while on mission"

"I can accept that, what else?"

"Trade in my jeep for a new one, since I've had that one for ten years"

"Ok, so long as I'm with you when you choose your new jeep"

"Sounds good to me… now you what would your new year's resolution would be?" Sam smile

"For me it was to do well in my classes and for me to get my degree in biology and physics and to win this year karate championship" Jack smile

"What else?"

"Help you look for new truck, go to you cabin during spring break and spend muchtime with you and to keep you happy"

"I like that" he pulled her into his arms and she snuggled up to his side and kiss the top of her head.

"So what would you like for dinner?" she looked up at him

"How about some soup and toast"

"Sounds good to me, we might as well get dinner on since it after five and our guests would be here after eight"

"I know"

He gives her a kiss before they got up and walked into the kitchen to cook up some dinner and have it at the breakfast bar. It was just after seven when Jack put the bottles of beer, wine and sodas out in the snow while Sam whip up the dips and chop up the vegetables that would be going with the dip and finish making sandwiches that got tomato in them.

She even got the sausage rolls and other pastries cooking while she turned the stove on for the cheerios. While they were heating up. Jack return to help put things onto the tables in each of the rooms. They just finished putting things out when their first guests arrived.
